New ROM now available!

Check the changelog for new changes!

Make sur eyou read the first post before flashing for radio requirements etc...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richsark:
HI, May I ask where is the new rom? I downloaded 3 hours ago this version:

OzROM 2.21 23557.rar

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
THIS thread is for WM 6.5

OzROM 2.21 23557 is WM 6.5.5

Make sure you don't get mixed up between the 2! Links ot both threads are in my sig :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richsark:
Ohhhh;)

So I guess my stupid question for today is..... If I have a TMO US LEO would either one be compatible?

I am new to this ROM and wanted to try yours. I guess the Pro's and Cons.

Sorry if this is a repetitious query
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ebliss:
Yo,

mistake in your change log.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ahhh thanks for that! :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
I am getting amazing battery with this ROM :eek:

During my initial customization of any new flash, I tend to lose about 8-12% on any ROM. On this rom I lost only 5%.

- Screen on auto for about 20 mins

- All heavy setups like Opera 10, rings/tones copy, Resco setup, Manila mods, etc...

- Activesync setup with initial sync and 15 mins interval

Will report more later ;)

Last minute thought, on 2.10 ROMs I tend to lose 10-15%, not on this one :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Good to hear! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] julianfx:
Scots sorry, but there is a way to darken the background of the start menu than the LockScreen? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gotovamsee:
Rapidhsare Link is either dead or damaged

Hey dude! rapidshare link seems to be a damaged archive with some 45kb.

Hope this ROM hits the ground hard and every HD2 loves it.

All the very best to you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gotovamsee:
By the way are these two updates applicable to this 6.5 ROM as well?

> Fixed Cookie's Home Tab manila tab Oder Bug

> Included Cookie's fix for sunny weather animation
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmm..not sure...I think I added a tweak to make the start menu transparent...I think theres another tweak somewhere on the forums to make it 50% transparent.

Hey, thanks :)

Oh and I just tested the RS link...the file extracts fine for me.

Yes :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anrabi4:
This is my first custom ROM, and all I can say is that I am amazed of its quality and fluency. The interface is silky smooth and everything is snappy as it should be. All I can say is Congratulations for creating such a great ROM and I`m looking forward to using more of you work!

Cheers, mate!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vjandu:
thanks for the rom working well so far (8hours) and nicely setup!:D just a quick question is there any way to get the background on all the tabs? i know there are a few ways and i used to use hdwall (i think its called) but that doesnt seem to work. Thanks once again for the rom!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
Hi, just installed yours to test, and works great.

The lock screen clock seems to be a little off centre (to the left). Is that how its supposed to be? If you see diniks screen shots for his lock screens the clock divider : is level with the middle of the date text below. However on my leo the divider : seems to be level with the left had side of the date text making the clock / date look out of alignment...

Any idea how to fix?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...thats strange...it's centered on mine...did you use task 29?

Maybe try installing his lockscreen again with the cab from his thread?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
Always task29.

Installed his lockscreen and uninstalled, then reinstalled to make sure, and its still out of alignment.

I'll reflash again tomorrow if i can be bothered and see if it fixes it.

screenie attached.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
got bored and reflashed the phone / 29d.

The lock screen was fine until i played with cookies settings. All i did was change the home links to 3x3, hide background of icons and text. Then moved the position of the date / calendar box down a little in the home screen.

Checked the lockscreen and its the same as before (screen shot).

Any ideas?

edit/ also long press the send key brings up an "file cannot be opened. Not signed with trusted cert or one of its components cant be found" etc..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I'll look into the lockscreen issue.

I left the long press send key blank so you can add your own app to it (Start > settings> personal> buttons :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
ah cheers. Installed diniks std lock screen cab, and it reverts it to the std lock screen all aligned ok. Reinstalled the lock screen and its out again..just to let you know.

edit/ im using diniks "revert to std lockscreen" cab as i said, and his v1.5 lockscreen that makes the button glass, but still at the top and its working fine, which is what i was using before so im not fussed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anrabi4:
same here, but it`s not bothering me too much...

a fix would be nice, though...

the ROM is still great, btw! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
New ROM uploading now!

Check the changelog for new changes.

Download ink is on the first page (This link is to my 4Shared folder...once the upload is complete, the ROM will appear in the HD2 6.5 folder, V2.30)

I'm off to bed!

P.S. This ROM should now be TMOUS compatible...if anyone can test it for me and report back that would be great!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Sorry for the delay guys....4Shared is being a pain and uploads keep timing out...it'll be uploaded very soon!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ok, new ROM now available!

Check the changelog as always for new changes...

Let me know of any issues or problems! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
EDIT: TMOUS HD2 works great with this ROM ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
/edit

I dont know what changed then, but the lock screen is now out of alignment again...All i had done was reinstalled resco, copied a few icons to the start menu( + changed the icons to diniks) then reinstalled cookies settings via importing settings ive saved. Lock screen was working as far as i knew (checked it and was ok)

Now i had it on charge and came back to check it, and its out of alignment again so i dont know what caused it this time...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
I flashed again to make sure of what would cause the alignment issue...

All i did this time was flash it fresh after a format.

Then go into settings, choose a new wallpaper, then setup the options for sounds, network etc.

Checked the lock screen after doing only this and it reverted again to out of alignment. So its nothing that i am doing that is making it switch i can see...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I have no ida then...maybe the issue is with Diniks lockscreen and not the ROM?

Was the alignment ok straight after a flash?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
yep straight after it was ok, then went and did something, and came back to check it and it was off...

What version of his lock screen is cooked in? The v2 that has a position fix..?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yep, V2.0 is the one I'm using...maybe try reinstalling it with the cab and seeif it goes back...

Otherwise just use 24 hour clock, as it's centered :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
Funny thing is i use his 'std lockscreen" cab to revert it, and its all centered (clock down the bottom though and slide up top) and apply the 2.0 over the top and its off. However if i do the std cab then apply his v1.5 to enable the glass button all is fine.

Ive tried just doing 2.0 over the top and all it does is put the box around the bottom slider.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...Maybe his V2 is not quite right then? That's all I can think of...his lockscreen is completely independant of the ROM, so I dn't think it's anything I have done.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ok, if you feel manila is sluggish or not as fast as it should be...try changing this registry entry...I thought I had done it in my ktichen, but it appears it's being overwritten elsewhere...I've fixed it for future releases.

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMenus/EnableVSync -change to 0

And soft-reset...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
There are now 2 "Disable landscape" cabs in post #2. One will disable landscape on everything except the phone (handy for using phone when in a car cradle etc...).

The other one disables landscape on everything.

Both of these returns the manila music and photo tabs back to the full fancy animation landscape effects.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
Hi Scotsman, i've flashed your rom. and how strange, don't you have the 3G switcher at Wireless Controls? Can u make a cab for this? otherwise, it's a great rom :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tane71:
Thanks for your great rom, exactly what I was looking for !

Try it since... 1 hour and so far, everything is ok.

I also would like to thank you for the 2 cabs above, very usefull and clever!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Thanks, glad you like it!

I used to have the 3G in there, but it seemed to cause problems for some users.

There is a cab on THIS post that adds it back...some users have used it on my ROM in the past and it has worked fine...give it a try.

Thanks :)

It's good to know a lot of people are happy with the ROM!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
thanks mate, this is what i'm looking for. i think u should add this for next release :) Great rom and great chef !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tane71:
More I test it, more I like it. Stable, smooth, Manila languages (French) included, not too much tweaks but all the necessary... really like it (and will recommend it - if you agree - in some french foroms).

[EDIT] [DEL old Question] I'm a dummy / Never mind, I recover the right menu for regional settings...

Another small thing: the lock screen you included doesn't show the next appoitment. How could I keep your display layout (with the nice Dinik slider at the bottom) but allow the next app. to be shown?

Thanks again for this very good Rom! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClementNg23:
Hey Scottman,

is the volume controller 'fixed' in you newely cooked ROM cause it is displaying in the ringer tab every time I press the volume buttons and it just doesnt make sense to me..

would you mind if you could fix it so its just like the stock and that would be great.

also, could you please enable volume changing when earpiece is plugged in cause its easier to change volume without going through the process of getting the phone out and unlock and change volume. thanks.........

good luck in your next release and keep up the great cooking ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
Hi there. i applied the Smarberg's 24h-enable tweak for manila and then soft-reset, but the clock of manila is still 12h format. Any solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tane71:
Just go to the Manila tab "Settings", select "regional settings" > regional > tap "use 24-hour format"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tane71:
Bug with Backlight at boot?

Hi again,

I'm just wondering if this is a bug that other users have seen or (better) have fixed: when the device start, if I don't touch screen nor any hard key, the screen backlight goes to its lower Dim after 30" sec., but never turned off after the 1' mn (I checked the backlight settings of course).

Am I the only one? Any help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Hi Scotty

Been using 1.6 for the past month. Really happy with it.;)

Just tried a2dp or the first time, but it wont detect my BT headphone device when searching for my headphones. I love using the device for stereo Blue tooth. Stock rom had no issues with this. Any ideas?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tane71:
Hi (again and again), :)

I encountered some weird and very annoying issues:

. battery drain is impressive (the whole charge drain in half a day! More than 3 times as normal)

. 3 blank screen in the past 3 hours when I (try to) wake up the device, have to remove the battery to restart it.

. ActiveSync / Exchange has a weird behavior and doesn't retrieve all my emails when they come (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't)

[EDIT] I should say that I always do a task29 before flash. I use 2.10.50.08_2 radio (for the 1st time, maybe it's the problem? Don't know - will try the 2.08.50 instead). Any ideas? I definitely want to keep this ROM :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
That's the only problem with Diniks lockscreen...he removed the appointments from it...so if you want them back I think you need to install another lockscreen unfortunately.

HI...I'm not sure what you mean by "it is displaying in the ringer tab every time I press the volume buttons"? When I press the volume buttons, it shows the volume control as normal.

Also, I can change the volume with headphones plugged in...you don't have to remove the headphones to change the volume.

You shouldn't need to apply any mod...it should work if you change it in the WM settings...make sure you scroll to the bottom of the list and choose H:mm or HH:mm...it works fine for me.

Sorry, I am not seeing this on my phone...it turns off as it should.

I don't use Bluetooth myself much...but it always works when I try it...I wonder if anyone else has bluetooth headphones working on the ROM?

You have some strange problems happening there..my battery lasts for 2 or 3 days if I dont use it much. ANd I never get any blank screens....I'd suggest trying a different radio (2.07 or 2.08) and see if it changes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tane71:
Thanks for your reply!

I tried another lockscreen and perhaps it's the cause of the blank screen when I try to wake up the device, will try to flash it again.

The battery drain is still hudge anyway but I'm afraid that cames from another thing. Will also try the previous 2.08.50.xx radio and will see...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Iron Doktor:
Hi Scotsman,

My first post, but I've been lurking for a long time :D Love this rom, tried it last night and on first impression it seems excellent, so well done.

One question though - is there any way to remove all of the Dinik stuff from it? I don't like the icons... I went into the icon changer, and reset a few back to default, but then they changed to a low res version of the real icon, which came out all pixellated (and in some cases, just a generic folder icon etc). Is there a reset available that will switch them all back to the stock htc icons?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hey :)

Hmmm...I don't think so...not easily anyway...maybe you can find another icon set in the forums (there are plenty of them) and change to them...otherwise you have to go through each one individually with the icon changer and replace with another one you find elsewhere....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClementNg23:
ok...

- so everytime when i press the volume button, the htc vol changer pops out.

- on that screen, when you look up the top bar, you will see two tabs: system and ring. (duel volume)

- Using your ROM, everytime i press the vol keys, the vol changer is always at the 'ring' tab. unlike stock which stays at 'system' tab

So what i want is something that changes the tab its on every time i press the vol buttons. ;)

Is it possible?

many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
after 1 day using your rom. i found 1 problem, i don't know anybody is experiencing this or not, but it seems that the wifi ability is kinda weak. i'm using radio 2.10.05.08. Compare to rom topix 1.6 before, i also used this radio, when i'm on my bed at the corner of room which is kinda far from the wifi-router at the lobby down-stair, i can seek the wifi stably, but with this rom, the signal is intermitten , and i have to hold my HD2 at a fixed position in order to get the wifi :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
Quick q - is msvc enabled by default?

Ive managed to hit some buttons or something by accident and its popped up asking me to say something, but havent managed to figure out what i hit lol.

Is it supposed to be mapped to a key before we can use it?

thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm..I'll have a look and see what I can find, but I'm not 100% sure if I will be able to change it...

I don't use wifi often, but it always works well when I do use it...I wonder if any other users can comment on wifi signal? I havent done anything special to the signal or settings so it should work same as stock.

It's not mapped by default but you can map it to the send key (start > settings > personal > buttons).

The only other way to start it is in the start > settings > personal folder....you must have gone in there as no othe rharwdware buttons start it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClementNg23:
thanks scottman ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ok found it ;)

use the registry editor (start > tools > registry editor)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay]

"DefaultPage" - change this from 1 to 0 and soft reset :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClementNg23:
yay scottman (aka David right?) you rule!

it worked...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yep ;)

Good stuff! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Hi!

I moved back to 6.5 -at least temporarily. I have installed v2.30 and yes, I do find it more fluid and snappy than 6.5.5, although the reason why I moved has more to do with application support than to performances.

I have 3 questions:

I've noticed that under \Program Files there's an empty folder called "AMeBaSettings". Does it belong there? Can I delete it?

Settings->Sound and Display->Automatic (set to vibrate during appointments) still doesn't work. Any idea of how it can be fixed?

Any nice taskbar you would recommend for 6.5?

Thank you very much!

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
1 - Yes, you can delete it...thanks for letting me know...I'l make sure to remove it in the next reelase.

2 - So what happens when you set it to automatic? it just doesnt go silent during a meeting? I'll test this out tomorrow, but I think it's working ok on mine.

3 - To be honest there aren't a lot of taskbars around that I like...I probably prefer the same one as installed on the 6.5.5 ROM...I don't like all fancy bright coloured icons in my taskbar. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=602295

New ROM tomorrow with updated CHTEditor and maybe XT hacks...and maybe other things if I get time ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wk15:
outstanding rom.fast and stable:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Hi Scotty

Ive been using 1.6 for about a month. Luvin it and have expressed my grattitude.

I need to ask a favor. I cant get the device to see my BT stereo audio headset. I use it in the Gym and its such a bonus over the cabled ones.

I used use it with no problem on the previous stock rom.

havent seen any others having probs

Any Ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I got a donation today from another scozzie (Scottish Aussie :p) but don't know who he is on here, so please step forward so I can thank you!

Thanks ;)

Hmmm..not sure really...I dont do any tweaks to BT, and I don't use it much myself...can anyone else using BT headphones let me know if it works ok?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
OK...I won't release an updated ROM just to update CHTEditor...you can just install the cab to it's default location and it will upgrade the previous on with no isses.

I'll have it cooked in for the next release :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tal_bendoli:
Email tab OK, but message application cant see list of emails

I can see the email in the HTC email tab. Can open the email from the tab.

But if I open the email application from start, I cant see the list of my inbox or any other inbox tree folders.

Tal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Which cab is like the stock rom, where opera and that can still go landscape?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Both of them will still leave other 3rd party apps with landscape support...when I say "this will disable landscape on everything" I mean everything that is part of the HTC software such as manila, phone etc...

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Ah k. Also I've tried to enable swype via the setting menu by changing the input method. But it doesn't work, the normal keyboard still comes up. I've done task 29, soft reset. Do you know why it doesn't work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Really? I've never seen this or no one else has reported this problem...have no idea why it woudln't work...are you sure it's not the swype keyboard coming up?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Hi!

I have had a few blank screens similar to the ones you describe. Have you ever been able to figure out the cause for them? Does the lock screen in use really make any difference?

Thank you!

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Yeah, 100% sure. As I go back and check which input method is selected and it always reverts back to "Touch Input". The only thing I've changed is the Device name, I don't know if this is the cause of the problem. But to make sure can you tell me what the default Device name is? It is in the about section under device ID.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Great ROM the_scotsman. I got 1 problem though. With iGo8 text to speech does not work. It worked fine with the stock rom, has anyone else reported this issue? Here is my sys.txt for tts:

[tts]

tts_buffer=131072

tts_logics=3

always_say_road_names=1

announce_street_name=1

announce_exit_directions=1

skip_exit_numbers=0

priority="HIGH"

Any ideas why it doesn't work with your ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
That is the reason...the device name has to be left as what I put it or Swype will not work.

Hmmm...not sure...will have a look later and see if I can get it going on mine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bones221:
I've been lurking, reading, and learning from the forums for weeks. I've flashed my first ROM, thought I bricked my phone but recovered from that scare. I've tried several ROM's and OzRom is fantastic! Thanks for the hard work.

I'm having an issue with my Swype keyboard. It doesn't enter the edit mode (by double tapping a word to be corrected). Is there a fix? I've looked and looked for other Swype cabs to try, but haven't found much.

Any suggestions, anyone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Can you tell me what the default name was?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gomax:
Just had similar problem with another prog changing my ID so re-installed swype, added resco keyboard and sip2.

Now all good :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
T-Mobile_LEO :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
New ROM coming tomorrow...updated to ROM base 2.11, updated CHTEditor and updated Google maps...been testing it, and performance is fantastic!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Hi Scotty

Sorted out my BT issue. Working sweet, had to make HD2 device discoverable (60secs). The only thing that will complete this device will be the ability to handle java applets with stability, so I can do my banking. Neither Opera nor Firewire have cracked it properly yet.

Then I will be free!!

Thanks
