Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback...I'll get back and answer them later...I'm really hungover and had to come to work at 7am :(

In the meantime please keep the comments coming!

Good explanation here: http://www.clove.co.uk/viewTechInfo...6465-4C70-ABDB-5A12A06C3D8D&Category=TECHINFO
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Nice idea about adding the icon manager. I will include new icons for all start menu ites in V.200 :)

I was also thinking about BSB Tweaks...I'm going to put a warning in the start menu not to change the performance tweak sliders....but I will leave it in as it has a lot of other useful features like adding rotation to apps.

All performance tweaks are in there...to be honest it feels just as quick for me, not sure why you might not see it the same.

The "automatic" sound profile also does work for me...again, I'm not sure why it's not for you. Are you installing any other apps after flashing?

I haven't seen this Swype issue yet either, I'll keep an eye on it.

I think call quality is much much better but it will depend on your location, ie country, provider etc...

Thanks!

Does this 3G issue happen with all ROMs? I'm not sure of a way to change the data connections that the ROM uses...

haven't had many downloads of the new test ROM so it's difficult to do more without the feedback. I'll be releasing the same test ROM for 6.5.5 later today and see what feedback I get on that.

Then I'll refine the ROMs and release them later in the weekend :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] viperd:
Just flashed your 6.5 ROM. I will use the 2.09.51.03_2 radio version. Until now everything is fine. I will test the call quality, the gps ( iGo2008 ) and some other apps. I am curious in the battery behaviour with the new build and the new radio. Will post the impressions as soon as I can.

The new icons set looks incredible and my opinion is to keep it. We may have a nice looking ROM, besided a good working one :)

Congratulations for the hard work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sb09:
Scotty,

Thought I'd give this 6.5 Test a try (though I have every intention of switching back over to 6.5.5 once you have it ready to test). Wish I could give wholesome feedback, but acting as a Financial Manager as I do, and it being our year end approaching, I'm struggling to find time right now.

One immediate observation relates to the icons: Can't say I'm keen! I love DINIK's work as it happens, and use both his transparent slider, and his matching lockscreen (v2.0). These transparent anastasia icon frames match up perfectly, however having them mixed and matched with ordinary icons is not pretty! My homepage (using Cookie's Home Tab with 4 columns) looks dreadful when 2 icons are Dinik's and 2 are not. For me, it would have to be all or nothing and the safer bet would probably have to be nothing i.e. don't use Dinik's icon set. I have every intention of continuing to use the slider and lockscreen but, my opinion FWIW, is that the icons are a step too far.

I've flashed the 2.09 radio to go with this 1.72 base rom and I can't say I've noticed a significant improvement in call quality or reception, that said I've never yet (fingers crossed) suffered any distortion during calls on any of the radio's or roms I've used, so I guess I'm luckier than some and not therefore the best judge of this issue. The GPRS and 3G/HSDPA signal strength appear to be on a par with most of the other radio roms I've used recently (2.07 and 2.08s), but not necessarily superior.

Perhaps a marginal improvement in battery usage but nothing that stands out.

My gut feeling is that the 2.10 base roms are slighty slicker and smoother. I've had no hangs yet with this one, but it gets a bit 'sticky' sometimes.

Will try 6.5.5 too when available to see if anything's changed. If put on the spot right now, my money would be on sticking with the 2.10 base. The major advantage of the 1.72 might have been that the 2.09 radio dramatically improved call quality for those that suffer problems with it, but if this turns out not to be the case then I'd suggest 1.72 is not an improvement on 2.10. Hope this helps you a wee bit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
I guess no one really is downloading the new test ROM because we all generally like the latest and greatest and therefore want to keep the extra memory. I certainly will not be going back to a non 2.10 ROM and sticking with 1.60. JMO.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea fair enough...all I know is I will NEVER need more than 120MB RAM free all at once...I'd be very surprised if anyone uses this much all at one time...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
In reality you are absolutely right, but if we can have more memory, why not? It makes us a little more at on par with the better speced Tmobile Leo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] th1nkpad:
Firstly thanks for a great series of ROMs scotsman.

Now onto my question and apologies if I am missing something fundamental here, it's probably just me being dim, but I cannot seem to get my HD2 to update it's date and time automatically via the internet. I have enabled the Location Service and set the appropriate options in the Data services applet but no matter what I do, just doesn't seem to pick up the correct time. I'm using your 1.60 ROM and based in the UK.

I know it's not a huge deal to manually set the time and date, but depending on clock drift I'd rather it set automatically so that it doesn't become inaccurate over time. If using the official 1.66ROM that came with my device it works out of the box..

Thanks in advance

(ps, I did do a search but could find a definative anser ;))
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Hi Scotty

At the moment sticking with 1.60. Dont know if any one has experienced this , but in 1.60 when I press the call button, the screen goes off and stays off in the call unless I touch the device in the top middle, that turns it on. Is this a tweak or rom issue.

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...I've never seen this happen before...do you have any screen tweaks applied? The screen should turn off and on as normal when the phone is being used.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...let me look into it...it's not something I've ever relied on, or even thought about to be honest :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Thankd for your comments and observations! I appreciate all the comments, it al helps! :)

Did you run MTTY before flashing? This might solve the problem, as I've never had the problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ganjbass:
No i dont run MTTY.... But after change sms mode with bsb tweaks work ok....

Only battery finish fast....maybe is the new radio or new core 21891

Never mind i tell again rom stable and very fast i can see normal dvdrip up to 1.2 gb with

tcpmp player.

Facebook start working properly on next day. I think it was related to changes of FB appearance...

Could you please post a cab or reg tweak to enable phone call slider? I tried using BsB, but it seems to be uninstalled from the ROM ;)

Thanks!

PS Good work mate!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Damn...I used a slightly older Comm Manager with the 3G option...think from now on I'll use the latest Comm manager and not bother with the 3G icon for now...other apps out there to switch that anyway.

Thanks for the heads up! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] walshieau:
No worries, also had issues with WIFI, it would connect but not allow any data transfers... Did you change the End Call long press functionality too?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I'll flash back in a few minutes and check these issues out. Just about to upload the 6.5.5 ROM.

You mean the long press Send key? (holding the end key will power down your device).

I left it blank for people to choose their own, since there are so many different options available.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Fixed this issue with my 6.5.5 ROM. I'll either release V1.11 with the updated, or create a cab (which will be the easier option).

Glad to see other Aussies using the ROM ;)

I'm not sure why it doesn't work. I'll look into it just now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Found the problem. Unfortunately it can't be fixed with a cab.

It'll be fixed in the next build which will be released in a day or 2 :)

I've had quite a few donwloads of my ROMs, but not many comments. I'd love to hear feedback on it...tell me what you think. I can't improve on it if I don't hear what people think of it.

V1.10

This ROM is almost perfect for my use. One missing is 16 quicklinks instead of 9 on home screen of HTC Sense, which was included in V1.0.

Anyway, this is very stable ROM for daily use.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
As far as I know, that depends on the radio. 2.06.xx and 2.07.xx radios have this problem, 2.08.50 and 2.09.51 don't. Which radio are you using?

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Thanks for the reply.

No tweaks just bsb supplied with the rom.

Its like its working in reverse.:rolleyes: Usually if you but your ear to the top point on the phone in call, the screen goes off, now it goes on, and if you take your ear a way, screen goes off in call, whereas usually it would go on. I can live with it but it is a pain in the ass if I am retrieving info in a call or using the keypad in a call:o

Anyone else experiencing something similar with ozrom 1.60?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I've tested again and it still works as normal. Did you change any screen tweaks in BSB?

Anyway, new V2.00 will be uploaded in a few hours and it works in this version too :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Hi Scotty, will you be continue with your change log as I noticed it was not there (at least not in the same place) for your last update (after 1.60)?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, still using it. V1.99 was just an unofficial test ROM to give people a chance to test the 1.72 based ROM.

Radio 2_09_51_03 is not compatible with Oz ROM V1.41

Not sure if anyone had made a note on this earlier here, I failed to boot the device all the times flashing new radio 2_09_51_03 on your V1.41 ROM.

So got back to 2.08 radio :(

I think it only works with your recent versions from 1.72 ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, 1.41 is an OLD ROM, based on 2.10 ROM Base. 2.09 Radio wont work on any 576MB ROM.

Try usig my new ROM (will be uploaded in a few hours)...it's much much better than 1.41 and 2.09 radio works with it :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
New ROM is uploading now! Link in post #1 will take you to my 4Shared folder. Look in the HD2 6.5 folder...the V2.00 ROM will appear in there once it's finished uploading! (should take about 90 minutes)

Hi There!

Is MTTY the only way to wipe my phone and reapply the ROM? It seems kinda complicated. Do I understand correctly this MTTY will wipe my phone clean and then I need to boot it in a special mode and apply the RADIO 2.09 again and THEN the 2.00 ROM?

Since upgrading my phone has been completely unusable, giving dozens of errors, hangs etc.

After my last restart, to my complete alarm, I have an error about the device is unable to boot because you have turned off the device incorrectly or installed an untrusted application! Before that I got an out of memory error!

I really don't want to wipe my phone clean as I got a couple nice photo's of my new son on it late last night I haven't been able to download yet? Is there something I can do to get them back?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] networkn:
What are the chances the photo's taken were stored by default on the storage card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
To flash any ROM you will lose all data on your phone (not SD card).

MTTY is not 100% required but it's recommended...it will only clear the phone ROM space...not the radio or sd card...and it sounds like you need to do it to fix your errors.

Are your photos on the SD card or internal storage? By default they are stored on the memory card so you won't lose them.

If you already have 2.09 radio installed then you don't need to flash it again. But you can do it again to use the MTTY Task29 hack which will clear the phone ROM and then you can flash the ROM again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] networkn:
Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. A full hard reset (Turn on phone with both vol buttons pressed) appears to have restored my functionality. Is this the procedure I should have followed twice after a new rom install? I did the red button beside the battery twice?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, it's a good idea to do the full hard reset straight after flashing a new ROM...as you have found :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] networkn:
Not sure if this is a 6.5.5 problem or a ROM problem or a user problem, but I have downloaded a file onto the phone and want to rename it's extension. It will only allow me to rename the first part before the extension.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yep, that's a limit of the built in file explorer.

Download Total Commander (free). It's much more powerful.

This is a bug that appears in some of the newer ROMs. It happens if you go to the ereader or document tab. This seems to cause the blank sound and display. you'll find if you soft reset and go straight to it, it'll work fine.

Just a question

I see there is an updated HTC message client

Any chance at some stage of putting in a superior email client.

One that can search and show a bit of the text body ( like ipohones:o)

Packed my daks a little when I went through the process (this was my first full ROM and radio flash!) and now I am glad I did it!

Changing
