Thanks so much for your help. Installed the Cookiemonster mod and it is working beautifully. Just was I wanted.

You are all awesome!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kahibbi:
I'll give that a shot next flash. So far, it appears to be stable after the couple of attempts from early a.m. Thanks for providing the direct link!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BucDan:
hmmm maybe i should give cookie monster a shot, im liking the screenshots for it so far
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] p51d007:
Still stable

2 days, multiple text, phone, emails, landscape/portrait, not one lockup.

The only "bug" is the phone canvas that you already know about.

BT is rock stable now. Battery life it back to where is was.

The HTC XIP & OEM stuff must have been the trick to most of the problems.

Another fantastic job. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
WOW i need to fix this lol. Not sure why i keep forgetting :/

FYI cant believe noone has noticed but cookiemonster and editor can be installed from tweaks now :p

Max manila and editor are also there ;)

Pick one and enjoy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
Serves me right for being too eager and not bloody exploring more.

Thanks Ryan... as usual you think of more things than most of us. Fast and stable so far, even with all of my multitasking ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] srsaleenstang:
ooooooooo lol make me feel dumb well know i know thanx

lockscreen issues

thanks....sorry to be such a bother about it....i just use it a lot :o

just installed cookiemonstor......phone runs lighting fast.....keep up the great work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Im seriously thinking about cooking it into the next version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] srsaleenstang:
I was ganna suggest that. My vote is for IT . any other takers??? Rom is working solid only thing the phone canvas thing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BucDan:
my phone is starting to freeze after exiting sms, issue for anyone else? it was good yesterday...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
Not here. Haven't had a single freeze yet. only other thing i have noticed is that the toggle switch for 3G and edge does not work on its own. you have to ho into the settings and choose gsm to get into switch to edge. I have to do that sometimes when i am in an area that doesn't have good 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] anit77:
I have had a couple of manila freezes where windows is still fully functional but manila wont refresh. The 1st time was right after a soft reset. I needed to make a call so I hit phone, then all contacts. When it went into to All the screen just stayed grey and stuck there. I was able to hit start and move around but after closing whatever window I was in the screen wouldn't refresh and just displayed the last image. After another reset all was good. :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
OK... sorry for the basic question, but in the Tweaks folder, what does "Enable Letter Rec inputs" do?

I am guessing this is not the case, but one of the issues I have noticed is that if I use the XT9 input and try to add a word, it doesn't seem to save or show it when I try to type it later. Any solution to this that anyone can point out to me?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sd73ta:
I was having freezes too on exit from sms
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] p51d007:
It mimics the old "palm" style writing input. I think it was called graffiti.

If you are like me, and started out with the old Handspring Visor or similar, that

is about all you had for text input. Over the dozen or so years, I've gotten where I'm faster for quick short messages/memo/calendar input using the old palm writing way, than using either the touch input, on screen keyboard or flipping open the keyboard. After you install it, then you go to

start> system> personal> SIP Change, then select block recognizer and then select. That makes it the default character input, when one is called for.

Just change it back to touch input, to restore.

reader issues

I'm seeing some problems with ebooks, but I suspect they are not related to the rom, but to the books. I installed mobireader, and after finding problems uninstalled and installed microsoft reader. Latest versions of both. I loaded four dictionaries - german-eng, eng-german, french-eng, and eng-french. These are all a bit under twice the size of a novel, and instead of being accessed sequentially (page by page), you access by word lookup. When accessing the books on the pc mobireader and microsoft reader everything is lovely. When accessing on the phone things get hinky. For example - when doing a lookup the touch keyboard shows up and will not go away. When doing the first lookup it works ok - but after that it will not find any words until you exit lookup and go back in - says the word is not there even though it will find it just fine the first time.

Anyone else done much with ebooks on the phone? I suspect that the problem is in the app and the way it handles dictionary type books, but want to find out what everyone else thinks.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
I am a voracious reader and use ebooks quite a bit. i use the reader from ereader.com which is where I buy my books as well since they are owned by Barnes & Noble. I can't even remember the last time I purchased a paper book. their software is free, as are many of their books, including their dictionary. I recommend them highly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
Thanks. that makes sense
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Try ereade that i added. Theres a program in dev and hacking that lets u add your own.

Agreed their reader is nice. Im big on Barnes and Noble ;) Thats why I got a nook ;)

OK heres where things stand on the new version;)

Updating to 23554

Fixed long end key ;)

Added facebook tab

Changed some icons

Upgraded HTC messenging (may dump it if I cant figure out how to eliminate the horrid message sent notification)

Tweaked BT a tiny but

Still debating on cooking in cookie home tab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] surfnet:
I vote to cook in the cookie hometab mod:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DavisGentry:
active sync woes

Another problem which may not be the ROM - I've used active sync to keep my Outlook email inbox sync'd with my phone. Always set it up such that the desktop trumps the phone - so if I delete an email on the phone it is not deleted on the desktop. However: by mistake I recently deleted all the Outlook emails on my phone (no biggie) and went to resync to get them back. Instead everything in my desktop inbox was deleted - and it is gone, gone, gone. Is this something new with the current windows mobile rev? Something with a registry setting on the phone? The active sync setup shows resolve conflict with the desktop always wins. Anyone have any idea where the emails on the desktop went? They are not in the Deleted Items folder.

btw - there is a bug in the ROM when setting options on the active sync if you do it from the active sync start up - the display is hosed. If modify from the ActiveSync in Tools it is fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BucDan:
oh no!!! another update for me for a better experience! :rolleyes:

time to update :)

im +1 for te cookie home tab there!

will come back to check soon!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
On the newer versions if your synced when you delete it also deletes from device. There is also a option to always delete. Make sure they did not change the default. I had that happen a long time ago. I started backing up every few days because of it.

Probably not until tomorrow. I still want to work on the dialer and figure out why the message enhancement keeps giving sent notifications lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwlacy:
thanks for fixing the lockscreen issue :D

i vote for the cookie tab as well.....:cool:

Battery Usage and USB

My phone stopped syncing with USB a few days ago. It powers from USB, but nothing else. At the same time I noticed that the battery usage got way worse. :confused:

I have been watching the current from Tbattery.

Mine seems to be around 200 when I am doing nothing, about 140 is the lowest I ever see it go, and that is rare. I averages around 300.

I try to use the log feature from tbattery, but it only creates the log file, with headers, but never puts information in it.

If I leave it asleep all night, it goes from 100% to 40%

I thought I recall that battery current should be under 100 when doing nothing.

When I am turn on Bluetooth and push exchange email, it hovers around 500.

This seems a bit high. I think my phone got screwed up when it lost its usb sync and some kind of short is constantly drawing power.

yes.. I went into bootloader mode and tried plugging in usb there, it always shows serial.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] surfnet:
I have some bluetooth icons I have been putting in the windows directory each flash.. I have included the files in a zip.. Ryan, would it be possible for you to include these in the future builds?:D

thanks!

bluetoothicon.zip
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BucDan:
is this suppose to be a new message thing that you plan on implementing? ive never had the sent notifications issue before, only when using the stoock at&t rom, man it was annoying... it's like i press send, dont need to remind just 1 second after sending it haha.

but in that case, ill be checking tomorrow for the release, all of this facebook, and twitter... and i dont use those social web sites, o well :D

Is it possible for you to not include IE? i mean it isnt very good compared to the Opera 10 that just came out a while ago, like a ready to go faster app, or you cant because IE is cooked into the WinMo OS? just wondering that's all, all ive been doing is tinkering with my phone, trying to get my HDWall background to work.

Ryan, you didnt answer, it probably isnt a big deal, but where are there 19th century pictures on the phone? lol history project?

also, would you ever think of implementing in BG4All since HDWall doesnt work for us, at least the landscape mode doesnt work properly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Something definitely isnt right for you. Couple things you should do. Reboot your PC. Run task29. Reflash stock rom to rewrite radio partition. Run task 29 to wipe imgfs partition and then reflash a rom. This shoul fix you up for about 20 builds ;)

LOL those are the old ones from my fuze rom ;) I actually thought they were in there...... Yeah ill throw em in.

Thats the newest HTC messaging enhancement. No clue why HTC thinks that its a good idea.

IE has to be included. a ton of stuff reuires the HTML renderer to be there.

There is a BG4all in tweaks. Should be working fine. Will work with cookies home tab too.

Those are stock pics from a HTC package. Ive intended to remove them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] surfnet:
task 29 doesnt work for me, because I cannot get a usb connection, other than power, I have tried many different computer, my phone wont connect via usb :(

I wish there was a way to run task 29 from an sdCard.. that is what I using to flash ROMS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
This is a tough one...

OK, first, I am all for cooking in the cookie home tab.

The unfortunate circumstance is that I am very happy right now and don't know when I will be able to take the time out to flash and setup again, given my travel schedule. Nothing worse than being on a business trip and having to stay up late to tweak things and make sure that everything is set up just the way you want it. Believe me... I learned that one the hard way.

One thing that I have noticed just recently is that the compact qwerty tends to skip some of the [space] commands. Anyone else notice this? I tend to use the compact qwerty most often for two reasons. 1) I have big fingers and since the buttons are bigger, it tends to be more accurate for letters, and 2) it is easier to operate one handed because you don't have to stretch your thumb all the way across the phone for some of the buttons opposite your thumb (whichever hand you are using).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] xawen:
Take a good look at User Customization (UC). It takes a while to setup for the first time, but once you do flashing is no trouble at all. I can flash or hard reset my phone and have it back exactly the way it is now within 30 minutes. And most of that is waiting for it, there's very little I have to do manually.

The easiest way to get started with it (that I've found) is with this tool. Basically it gives you a file structure that you put all your cabs, reg files, scripts, files to copy, etc... into. Once you've done that, you run a bat file and it creates your UC script. You copy that and one folder to the root of your SD card and the next time you flash or hard reset, your UC script runs during the ROM configuration stage.

Just a suggestion, but if it's a pain for you to flash it's worth a look.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikey717:
I have absolutely considered using UC. Tweaking is for my own benefit, and not the primary responsibility that I have (i.e. the family and the job... in that order). That being the case, I know that it may be a time saving prospect, but it is one that I have not yet taken the time to fully research and be comfortable with yet.

Thanks for the input, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
Start small like just adding the Cabs you install first. That part is real easy and may save you a lot of time in just trying to find the cab and install it manually. As you move along, you can even get UC to set you your registration codes and stuff. That, though takes a bit more to figure out correctly. I have about 8 cabs that are installed by UC and I don't put in a registration code (manually) for any of them anymore, UC does it all for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aadadams:
If one of those is Copilot Live 8 (retail), whats you secret? I cannot not find where it stores its internals in the registry. The three 25 digit codes I have to use are very time consuming to say the least. Not to mention the activating of each over the net after entry...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
Sent you a PM on this so we don't tie up the thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
OK new rom today.

Updated MS facebook app

Updated MS Myphone

Fixed Long press end

Added Facebook tab

Added some new tweaks

Cleaned up tweaks folder and made it prettier

Rebuilt all custom graphics dll files with newer versions

Changed Dialer yet again. Well see what happens.

Tweaked some BT stuff.

Updated Ameba

Changed a few icons

Updated a few random packages

Few other things.......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr_zero:
WoW..... can't wait to try out the Dialer. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sd73ta:
Cant wait:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Im expecting to be able to upload as soon as I get home from work. There will be a update cab included with it. The update will fix HTC messaging client and fix a BT bug I created :p It will also fix anything else I find before I get home today :p

The download will be larger than usual. I did not lzx compress this version since its typically a faster rom if you dont. So far looks good ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4bettilt2:
OH BOY

time to go from nonmanila to manila

think I'll be brave and task 29 first

where will the update cab be located? will it just run automatically when installing the rom or will we have to it from cab via active sync after the rom has been loaded?

Thanks Again for your work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
It will be in the zip. YOull have to transfer it and run it. For me to make it run on auto Id have to recook and then the cab would not be needed ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4bettilt2:
THANXS

No prob I'll run the cab after installing the updated rom looking forward to manila
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4bettilt2:
One more dumb ?

will the cab do all the fixes on its own once unzipped and loaded onto the phone ? I would be loading it using cab via activesync
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] xawen:
It will install just like any normal cab you run to install programs. It'll just some small (I hope:) ) fixes for things Arupp found while testing. Saves him the time of having to cook a whole new ROM just for those fixes. Re-cooking, re-flashing, re-testing...takes a lot of time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Posting in about 10 minutes. Ill update the thread in the morning.

I lied thread updated. Posted on first page. Let me know what the thoughts are ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Just the core files for manila messaging client (gets rid of the annoying sent notification and a reg key for BT. Couldnt find any other problems through the day.

@all

PLEASE READ ALL OF POST 3 AND 4
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr_zero:
Updated to V5.5 with some issues:

a little bit slower than V5.4

Ringtone problem came back. Not Ring again.:(

Take long to get the radio signal after start.

iGuidance can't run (same as before with this dialer? maybe?) error message: "A Critical component is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap Start > Setting > System tab > Task Manager, stop program that did not automatically stop, and try again."

When setting up Livemail/ Hotmail on Mail Tab, it bring me to live.com with IE. Can't set it up to show in Mail Tab.

Looks like it all about this dialer? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4bettilt2:
Thanks

Thanks for the info xawen, you'll have to excuse my simple questions but they come from someone who struggled to pass his only computer course in college 40 yrs ago.. 'Fortran programmed the computer with punchcards' ah the old days, if the course wasn't also based on high level mathematical estimation and that there where theoretical math questions on the final I probably wouldn't have passed it.

I'm just a cookbook kind of guy like to see the list of instructions before jumping in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Let me cook another version with the other dialer and well see what happens ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4bettilt2:
ringtone

Yep had the same problem with it saying corrupt file for some of the ringtones had to scroll through the different tone options until one was OK
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
5.6 is now posted
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4bettilt2:
MAN!!!!

Don't you take any time off, maybe you should be in the Energizer Battery commercials

Just flashed the 5.5 version early this AM, if I flash the 5.6 will I have to redo do the fix cab?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] surfnet:
link to 5.6 is not working :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr_zero:
V5.5 couldn't wake this morning. need SR 2 times to boot up normally.

and yes, V5.6 link is not working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Blah ill fix it ;)

\

No fix needed for 5.6

EDIT.......... Uhhhh yeah helps if I upload it :/ LMAO

Be fixed in about 30 minutes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr_zero:
Downloading now...... Thanks Ryan!;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr_zero:
Seems all V5.5 issues gone on V5.6, all back to normal.

Ringtones works now.

iGuidance runs as it should.

No problem to setup Livemail/ Hotmail on Mail Tab.

so far, no freeze.

must be something with the dialer.

tweaks for bugs

I use a remote control program on my phone in the evening, so snapping a screen grab of the add/remove programs folder isn't a biggie, but, is there

any "simple" program/cab/way to send you whats installed?

Also, it might help if we were to tell you what tweaks, reg entries, or the

settings we use in the advanced config programs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Thats a good question. Ill see what I can dig up. If its something with a MASD entry in the registry it will show up in OEMinfo in tools. It allows export. However only a handful of aftermarket and xda developed stuff would have MASD entries. Im pretty sure SKtools has such a tool to show all installed programs. Not sure if it exports though.

Yes tweaks would also be very helpful. In the next version i will have most of the recommended ones preconfigured again. I have disabled several for debug purposes in the last few roms. With everyones feedback I believe all users will be pleasantly surprised in the next major release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Thanks for the info. Looks like its not related to one particular sync method. This tells me alot. Do either of you use exchange? If so was it installed when having issues?

@anit77

Flashing stock could have very well solved your issue. With the huge change in XIP its very possible we may be back to the same scenario that existed in the wizard/hermes days where it was required to flash stock between roms. Not doing so resulted in random hard resets lol. I know the major changes relate to storage and cache. I need one of the masters to examine it closely and define the real reason for the change in OEMxip drivers.

@khtims

as soon as I get home ill PM you a link to the exact same rom with the old xip. I want you to let me know if tellme works with that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] anit77:
After the problem I had with the hard reset using the beta last week I made sure I flashed stock before going to 3.3 from the previous thread so that wasn't it :p

I'm not using exchange. The problem I was having was on a fresh flash with nothing setup or installed at all. Don't know what I can add other than the fact that both machines are running Office 07.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] khtims:
I do not use exchange so was not installed when having the issues. And THANK YOU for the PM (after work of course) with the old xip!! I am stoked! I'll let you know if that fixes my sync issue as well. :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Kewl good to know. I cant think of a reason that office would make a difference. Im pretty sure I can iron it out. ;)

Sure thing. Oh one change i did make was the tmobile keyboard tweak will now work ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thesecondsfade:
I'm gonna stick with 23518. There are no noticable improvements on the 23529 build as far as I can tell and every 23529 build I have flashed has been really buggy. Anyone else notice a difference between 23518 and 23529? Anyone else having problems with 23529?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] khtims:
Oh, lol... did not know the tmobile keyboard was not working. I think it worked fine for me! I don't remember seeing any errors and my keys are all correct.
