Thanks very much, I really appreciate it! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I may cook an update with 21893 later today, so if you find ANYTHING wrong wityh 1.4, please let me know asap, so I can look at it before I do 1.41 :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Not a big deal, but do you know why OzROM reports my total memory as 455.8MB when other ROMs report it as 457MB?

Am I alone in that?

21893 is a COM2 build? Anything you notice?

I saw that 23541 was also out. Are you gonna' cook up a 6.5.5 ROM based on 2.10 with it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...I have no idea...I'll look into that.

Yep, 21893 is the new COM2 build...new update will be available in a few hours.

Ad later today, hopefully 6.5.5 ROM update will be released with 23541 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
That's nice and sweet :D will hold off flashing V1.40 then.

Please provide us with a .cab of the old taskbar that you used in previous releases.

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Since a few people have asked about the stock taskbar, I might just revert back to this and post a link to the new taskbar.

Do many people want the default taskbar back?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vlad48:
+1 for default taskbar back.

Also about stability and power drain... Isn't it safer and more power saving not to use the 576 Mb hack using the old but reliable 1.66 Base oemdrivers?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] duncho:
Hehe.... what job do you have? I want such a one as well :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Every chef uses the 576MB hack...there is no reason not to use it...there are no stability problems with it.

hehe ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] twilight79:
just a question...if i flash to the latest ROM version from 1.32 and i did a backup of everything will i be able to restore that backup in 1.40??

i hav been flashing the updates but also settung up the phone with my customisations every time i have updated ozrom

i am using spb backup

can you plz confirm this :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...what did you backup?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:

Lost Internet connection via USB Sync

I updated with v1.32 last night and spent the day today reconfigured my HD2 back to 'normal'. Things are better mostly, except for today, after a good 12+ hours playing with it, I found that I cannot use the Internet via the USB sync/active sync connection.

I am using Windows 7. There are lots and lots of tips in XDA and I tried about everything I can searched for and still no success.

I use BsB Tweaks and turned disabled data (BsB Tweaks -> Menu -> Data Connection -> Disabled, Soft Reset). Should I assume that by "Disable Data" my HD2 would only use Internet thru my PC?

This is where I don't understand:

- Weather updated at the correct interval, or whenever I clicked on update, no problem.

- I visited news.google.com and the headlines page showed up. The news content sometimes worked and sometimes did not work. I can jump from news.google.com to the first page of mobile.latimes.com and then won't be able to go to page 2 of mobile.latimes.com

Looked like some sort of DNS errors somewhere.

Please help me if you have any idea.

Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rhumba:
With SPB backup, the "system" backup is most confusing. I can backup and restore data such as emails, contacts, notes, PIMs, etc. without any problem. But a lot of customization is inside the "system" I cannot pinpoint which part of the "system" to backup. I tried last night to restore my 'system' and it restored everything and took out the OzROM as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
HmmmI haven't seen this problem...have you tried MTTY?

It's not a good idea to restore "system" backups between different versions of a ROM, because the "system" changes between versions....and will cause problems.

You can only backup and restore things like contacts, messgaes, emails etc.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
Morning mate.

At work at the the moment waiting for your new release. I look after the SAN and NAS systems here so I keep checking in every half hour or so to keep an eye on progress:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hey :)

Will be starting the upload in a few minutes :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] twilight79:
backed up 20 quicklinks, wallpaper changes etc, customised status bar icons and all the little mods to make the phone look pretty :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
I downloaded 1.4 earlier today.... but I am holding off on the flash until the new version comes up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
1.41 now available for download.

As always, check the Changelog for changes.

Please report any problems you find :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rhumba:
I realized this would be my 3rd post to the forum as I am still trying to understand the language, the acronyms, etc. Please excuse my ignorance, but what should I do with MTTY? I found "The DEFINITIVE MTTY Thread" and wonder if I have to follow the entire instruction to use MTTY or not?

Also, all the folks installed OzROM version 1.32 was happy with Internet thru USB sync cable? I hope someone can confirm this.

Thanks.

Thanks again for the ROM Scotsman!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vlad48:
Allow me to disagree, Laurentius26 is not using it in his latest release, this helps to choose wider range of radios (not only 2.07.xx and 2.08.xx) and eliminates some strange OS behavior after hard usage and filling the available RAM to the upper limit... Just my point of view.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Well, by saying every chef, I meant the majority. I have never seen any problems with the 576Mb "hack" so I will keep using it in my ROMs.

It's not even a hack, it's just something the newer TMOUS ROMs have by default.

Oh and I am not using 2.07 or 2.08 radio...I use 2.06.50.23_3
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vlad48:
Now I understand where is my problem - wrong 2.06 radio version. Point taken and no more supporting the idea of limited RAM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
Exactly right!!

This is not a "hack" it is, as Scottie just said, an official driver set up pulled from the TMOUS final release rom. if used with the correct radio it is actually "standard". Give it a couple of months and HTC will release a round of roms made to this same standard. I'd lay money on it:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sb09:
the_scotsman,

Just as I was beginning to enjoy your rom (v1.32) and playing about with radios 2.08.50.08 and .05 to see which might be best, my HD2 died on me on Tuesday night! There's a longer thread about here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=638210 , but whether you've got time to read it or not, it basically queries if the radio rom could've caused it, but never questions whether a rom flash could cause it. It seems that it's got little to do with the radio, but something caused the unit to seriously overheat while at the same time the battery discharged fully, and I've not been able to reverse it - it's dead. Seems as though the internal power element and/or charger port is damaged and so I can't charge or boot the phone. It's therefore going back for warranty repair or replacement (they'll struggle to see HSPL/Rom/Radio if they can't power it up).

So, why do I mention all this? Well I see that since my HD2 died you've moved on to 1.40 and now 1.41 and I would likely have flashed them were it not for this serious failure as I got to enjoy using your 1.32. So when I get my unit back, I intend to head straight for your latest 6.5 rom again! Best wishes in the meantime.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Damn, sorry to hear that mate...that sucks big time...I just read that thread...

It sounds like EXACTLY the same thing that happened to my Diamond a few months ago...which caused me to buy the HD2. It's got no lights on when plugged in...it's completely dead, but it still gets warm when it's been plugged in for a while.

It sounds like it was just a coincidence that you were flashing between radios...although my Diamond died after I was doing a LOT of flashing between ROMs...maybe coincidence? I'm not sure...

Let us know what HTC do...hopefully as was said in the thread they won't see the custom stuff on there since it's completely dead.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sb09:
Yeah, it does suck, but I've got on top of the disappointment now, and I just need to get if off soonest so that I can get it back (or its replacement) sooner too.

You may be right, and maybe there's a lesson for all us serial flashers that too much too often increases the risk of these failures.

Will keep you posted - hopefully not too long till I'm catching up with your latest update again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
I've had this happen to me before with my hermes. Turned out to be the power circuits though. :eek:

ok run up 1.41 (waiting for the fixed 6.5.5 ver) flashed up to radio 2.08.50.08.2 , thought why not try??

anyhow can report that it runs a treat no echo , used the TelstraBandType.cab to correct the menus for australia.

might be that it is the T9193

i just installed igo8 and just want to know are there any GPS settings i have to change so it works properly? (have not touched them).

also if i use the gps does it download anything from TELSTRA, data etc?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Thanks :)

So you're on Telstra with no echo using that radio? What cab is that? Got a link? You might be on to something...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
GPS won't use any data :)

Is it getting a GPS signal? If not, go to Menu (bottom right of the main screen) > Settings > Right Arrow > GPS > and try Autodetect. If it says up top "GPS receiver is connected" then its working. If it doesnt pick it up, set it to Port 4 and38400 baud :)

Any feedback on 1.41? Any issues?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Der_Broker:
Hey scotsman,

thanks, you managed again to create a smooth and stable built!!!

Issues so far:

1) I had to deactivate 3G again, because otherwise I get connection issues.

2) My phone froze once - but that might also have been cause by one of the programs installed - I had to press softreset button.

Greetings, Der Broker
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
You had to disable 3G? Why?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
Hey Scotty,

Excellent ROM as usual ... everything is going smooth ... no hiccups ... it's a keeper :D:D

> For convenience purpose to all users, please pre-configured the long press send key button (currently it's empty in settings\personal\buttons) so users can assign it to something likes voice command.

> Bring back the 1% battery from your earlier releases :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Did you try toggling the 3G switch off then back on?

I have no problems with 3G.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
I really think there is something in the Com manager of the 2.10 TOMOUS ROM because even the 2.09 had issues. The 3G switch somehow manages to screw up GSM connections. The two default states or settings for it (theoretically) are: 3G (which is supposed to be "auto" mode, which should ostensibly detect 3G when present, and then allow EDGE also) and "GSM mode," which should be GSM/EDGE only mode, but....

There is something screwed up about it, and the 3G "auto" mode is the default, such that, when one runs the initial setup and it detects a connection via EDGE, everything is fine in 3G "auto" but if one opens the Comm manager, then things get screwed up. The 3G mode acts like 3G ONLY mode and the EDGE/GSM connection gets screwed up.

Some chefs have taken to removing the 3G setting in the comm manager altogether.

The only time I had connection problems is when I opened the comm manger. If I purposely avoided opening it for any reason, everything was fine. After opening it, problems ensued fairly consistently.

I really don't think there is anything wrong with your ROM (or anyone else's built on TMOUS ROM) as much as I think the issue lies with the TMOUS ROM 'somewhere' in the comm manager. You can still use and connect to 3G without the switch, but the switch is what is causing this, from what I have gathered.

I was ran Dutty's HG. v.8, v.9 and v1 and all of them had this issue, but it is somehow less prevalent in v1. I believe that Dutty removed the switch from the comm manager, if I remember correctly. I am sure that he built a .cab to do so for this very issue.

Question

I am getting my HD2 in a couple of days. I still have a few questions that need to be answered. I have done a lot of research on the phone and Rom's and radio's etc.

How do I install your Rom exactly?

Once installed are there any other things that I need to do?

Will this process void my warranty? (Not sure of this or not)

Am I able to change colours and backgrounds without updating the Telstra Rom?

Thanks in advance your help is really appreciated, I am new to the windows mobile scene coming from an iPhone (Just so over apple's crap).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
There are threads about how to install ROMs called HOW TO FLASH EVERYTHING. Start there. It looks intimidating, but it is not so bad.

The summary is that you need to not do ANYTHING until you have given time to read and study the basics in the guide threads about how to flash.

Trust me, you can do it. I was like you are just a few weeks ago.

Once it is installed, you just need to set up your phone like normal.

Yes, technically, the installation of HSPL and a cooked or non-standard factory ROM will void your warranty, but its up to you to make that choice. I made it without reservation because the benefits far outweigh the risks in my estimation. Besides, most of the time, (almost always) you can easily remove HSPL and HTC will never know you installed it. No warranty problems, but it's still your call.

The google search tool is your best friend here. Use it for everything before you post questions. You'll find most of them have already been answered hundreds of times.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
First read THIS thread. It goes through and explain everything about flashing a new ROM.

it will void your warranty, but is reversible (almost always) if you need to return it for repair.

You can customise the Telstra ROM just like other ROMs on here, but the Telstra ROM isn't anywhere as near as fast as the custom ROMs on xda.

Yea, there's something you need to do to add them...I'll see if I can dig it up.

Help I flashed this ROM on my htc hd2 today and I thought all was well until I had to turn the phone off. When turned back on it just stays on the white HTC screen & doesnt boot up any further. The only way to get it back up is to do a hard reset each time. What can I do to fix this getting desperate & headache getting worse:(

Weather on home screen

Hi,

Thanks for the brilliant rom.

I do have an issue and that I can not get the weather to show on the home screen. I have my location turned on BUT have usually had this turned off as it never has worked on all the roms I have used. What I usually do is set my home town in the time area and then it lets the weather update on the home screen. This option is greyed out so I am unable to do this.

Any idea's on a way around?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gotovamsee:
I dont think HTC SENSE usually picks your location from the time zone you enter rather it gets the location data from google maps as soon as you enable the location service in weather settings.

Enable location service and goto weather tab and use update now with a working internet service on your mobile. It should work atleast after a soft reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gotovamsee:
I dint wanted this landscape mode to override HTC music sense landscape so disabled it using the cab provided.

Tell me if you can only use double tap in landscape or that has been solved in potrait browsing as well?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] netfan55:
In the moment i use your 1.30 rom with 2.09 and the latest radio (2.8 a.s.o.).

Everything is ok with this rom, but i always want the best. so i´m thinking about flashing your latest 1.41 with 2.10

Are there any significant changes, that i can take as an excusion to flash it, or shall i wait, for your already adviced new rom, or shall i stay with the installed rom ( never touch a running system) ?

I already put my cabs into an autoinstall-folder, and i was astonished, that there are about 20 files, and there is some more to install, dictionaries a.s.o, and last but not least syncing everything, so always a lot of work to do.

Is it worth to do that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hi,

thanks for the feedback...but I haven't seen any of these issues. Are you sure you did Task 29 using MTTY?

Problems like tapping the clock bug and tthe gap in the home page calendar should not happen, and it doesn't happen. A lot of your problems sound like MTTY hasn't been done ?

As for the radio, I'm not sure what is going on...I haven't changed anything related to the radio at all.

I can double tap zoom in Opera in portrait and landscape mode...again, this isn't a problem for me.

I'll try and fix the long press end key so that you can use anything.

As said by someone, your weather area is not determined from your time...just go to the weather ab and click update now.

Hmmm...if you're happy with 1.3, maybe you can stay with that...look at post # 3 to see all the changes made in the different versions...There won't be another update for a few days, so it's up to you :)

Thanks for cooking one of the best ROMs ever. I have had a lot of HTC devices (s100, Artemis, Touch Pro, Diamond2 and now the HD2) and flashed custom ROMs on every one of the devices.

Hey! Thanks Great Rom!

Works great, installed it last night, only thing i noticed with my Radio at 2.06.50.23_3 my calls were quite 'fuzzy' still clear but in the background you could hear static? Unsure what this was due to? I updated to 2.08.50.08 still the same issue (no echos though), then i downgraded to 2.07.50.27 this seems not too bad, but the static/fuzziness is still there... Any ideas on what radio version might work best or could it be other factors?

I havent installed a Rilphone.dll as yet - mainly due to the fact im unsure how too, as im new to this. But would that help?

Keep up the good work!

-Josh

NB: Prior to flash i was running stock telstra rom 1.49 with radio 2.05.51.11
