I had problems about setting wallpaper too - possible solution: slide up from home screen and set Wallpaper setting to B (see Screen01 in attachments). Then you can set your wallpaper image normally;)

Maesus, thank you for your help with proximity sensor.

I found one critical bug in keyboard. Go to People in Sense -> All people and tap magnifier (search). You get only numpad keyboard

and no letters

.(Screen02 in attachments). Please, could you fix that or tell me way how to switch to normal letters?: )

Related question, is it possible to copy keyboard from another HD2? Because Chinese isn't usable for me?: )

Anyway, this ROM looks very good and I'm surprised that almost latest Windows build is so usable :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I notice that "Search Contact dialer keyboard and not normal keyboard" too. The dial pad still functions for typing the letters, just like normal dialer pad-based phone. I don't know if we can change to other keyboards. Have to search the forum for answers. :rolleyes:

I have to make another ROM for WWE-only IME, as the WWE+CHS IME are blended together. You could try to look for WWE-only IME cab and install but I cannot assure if everything will work properly, due to a lot of overlap files between WWE+CHS and WWE-only IME.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dacesilian:
I would wait for you next release with only EN keyboard, thanks: )

Numpack keyboard is okay now, because I was confused about using that first-time (I was thinking, search is done by numbers). Keyboard is able to write letters normally as on normal phone, so it's ok.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I'm not sure if I'd release an EN only edition... coz I won't be testing it a lot (ie potentially more bugs than WWE+CHS edition :cool:) I'll see how the response of Version 1.5. If it's rock stable, then it's less risk to build another WWE-only edition. :rolleyes:

hmm... I hope we could get that "special" keypad for all other apps too, not only "limited" to Search Contact. After using it a while, I found it's very finger friendly. :D

Waitting for V1.5 Max Edition:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
Hi,

I want to try your 1.5Max Rom.

At the moment I'm running TouchX another 2.10 based, but I am also running a downgraded radio as it came recommended with the scotsman ROM. The 2.08 were supposed to give echo.

Currently I'm on 2.06.50.23_3

I want to upgrade to the radio you recommend (2.08.50.05) but I can't find that radiorom here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5282938&postcount=1

There is however version 2.08.50.08 (higher) on that page.

Should I use that one?

A seperate thread contains 2.08.50.08_2

Is that one better?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
here is the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HUX1Q70V for RADIO Link: 2.08.50.08_2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
sorry about the Radio version, it was a typo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
about the delay of 1.5 Max...

sorry about the delay... It was being uploaded but I pulled it down as it was with some debug codes, and I wanted to try to reduce the installation time. It was VERY slow, wasn't it? :confused: I tried and tried and tried with so many ROM flashes with little modification here and there, but still could NOT shorten the installation time significantly.

If anyone know the answer of this problem, please let me know.

Thanks in advance. ;)

Also, due to SmartLock was installed, in battery mode it auto-locked within few seconds, and after that went into suspend mode. So I recommend for Version 1.5 installation, please let the phone USB connected and in charging mode during the whole installation/setup process.

I am reuploading now... :D

My radio is now on 2.08.50.08_2.

The version you recommended before (2.08.50.05) is an existing version...

Turborider gave us a link to it....

Anyone knows the difference between these 2?

I'm starting my test with the 2.08.50.08_2

Maesus... Are you sure you're running that one yourself?

I'm asking this because that other version DOES exist....

Hey all,

If you use 7 zip beta it works I just installed the beta version over the regular one and voila it worked
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TECHNOLLIC:
Hi, I am trying to unzip this rom with winrar, I've downloaded it about 5 times, but when I tell winrar to unzip it I get an error, it unzips the nbh file to a folder but it is 0 bytes. the downloaded rom is the correcr size so whats up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Use 7-zip 9.07 beta.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I'm getting the same result as with Max1.4.

After hard-resetting (vol-up & vol-down during startup) the phone comes into some sort of infinite loop during the orange startup-screen....

Or should I wait longer? (half an hour??)

The phone is not unresponsive... I can go to "My Windows Mobile" and browse the contents....

Whilst writing this message I'm still hoping/waiting for the initial start to finish.

I don't mind if I really have to wait for half an hour (or longer?), but if I'm waiting for nothing it's of course not worth it.

There's a progress bar which is close to useless as it starts over again and again. Sometimes a grey square appears in the right-hand bottom of the screen.

I will take it with me now hoping it will eventually start up...

I don't think it will.

If so, I will post here.

Do others have this phenomenon as well?

The previous time I had this (Max1.4) I was able to flash TouchX without any problems.

I wanted this 1.5

BTW... I did have 1.4max on it but went to Dutty's 0.9 and scotsman's rom...

I also had radio 2.06 on it, but now I'm on 2.0.8 (just giving as much as information I can think of).

I will also tell here if I'm able to flash the new Touch X if necessary.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
frater,

the Orange start-up screen will take about 8 minutes. (yes it's very long), but please make sure you still have USB cradle plugged in, to prevent SmartLock to kick in. The orange start-up screen indicator should still be moving every 5 seconds.

I still recommend to use MTTY method to clean the ROM before flashing. Since you had flashed many other ROMs, so there might be some dirty bits still left behind somewhere which even Volume Down+Up method won't be good enough to clean it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
lol 7 zip betta,whats going to be next?comon
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I really went beyond those 7 minutes (30mins+) and I tried several ways. Without SD-card, With SD-card, USB to PC, USB to charger, no USB.

I didn't try MTTY thus far.

Other ROMs just don't need this. Even after I seemingly bricked it by flashing MaususMax I can just flash another ROM an that one works immediately.

Although I have some kind of preference to Maesus ROM I'm prefering a ROM that will just boot like it should after giving it a hard reset (not MTTY but vol-up/down).

Other ROMS will also give me a SIM-lock screen at the same time active sync comes up. I haven't seen that screen at all during Maesus first-run.

But am I really the only one having this issue?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
For those who are still having trouble in un-7-zipping the Max file, you may try this link: http://www.multiupload.com/N0J1PRVRK7

It's same .nbh and re-zipped by 7-zip. If you used WinRar, WinZip etc, you may NOT be able to open the file. Please use 7-zip 9.07 beta (that's the one I use).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TECHNOLLIC:
Thank You so much, 7 zip works like a charm, the only problem I am having now is that the rom is installed on the phone, but when i restart it freezes up at the slide to unlock screen. was looking at your mtty cleaning process but it was kinda confusing. I cleared the storage before and after installing your rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
frater,

I am so sorry to hear that my ROM hasn't worked for you. May I know which country and which telecom service you're using?

For my ROM, the first boot will be mainly orange screen, and after all installation complete it will reset, and 2nd boot only you will see the SIM screen.

would you try without SIM card?

I am still struggling to speed up the installation progress. If I could fix that, t, that might also fix your problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
The installation takes a long while. The lockscreen will appear if you left the phone run in battery mode. That's the reason I recommend to have this ROM installed with USB cradle on charged, to prevent the lockscreen come out and the installation will run smoother.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TECHNOLLIC:
I don"t have the charging cradle yet. I am in the US Virgin Islands, using AT&T. I did get into the phone after the rom installed, but I did clear storage & now it freezes up, but it was acting weird before I cleared the storage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I'm from The Netherlands (T-mobile). MTTY doesn't work for me although I'm merely on Windows XP. Activesync works and there I disabled USB-connections. MTTY will only show up with COM1/COM2. No USB there.

I successfully flashed the lates Touch X 1.1.1 but I may still try to load your 1.5Max as "file explorer" is broken somehow. I will now try without SD-card and without SIM and will turn activesync off during initial boot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
Maesus, I have installed the ROM without problems. Everything is running fine!

But is it possible to make a language pack? Or do you know how to install a language pack from a different cab?

P.S. I'm Dutch
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
why you are using 7-zip? most plp in here use winrar or winzip,why you making so difficult for others to install 7-zip on their computers:(:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Try turn off your phone and then press Volume down + Power to turn it on to blue/red/green/white screen mode, and wait until "USB" word appear at the bottom side. Then only you start MTTY. No need to modify any Activesync options.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I finally have it running by removing both the SD-card and SIM-card.

I may try a hard reset in the future

I also had some install programs in autoinstall which may have caused it.

I may be the only one having this problem, so don't worry...

Keep up the good work...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
I have one problem now. Everything works very good, but when I try to call or when I answer an incoming call the ROM just blocks and needs an soft reset.

Is it a setting or a ROM bug?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
do you mean the dialer does not show the dialer pad? you may try rotate the phone to landscape and portrait , it will get the dialer pad back.this is a known bug, happen to any ROM if landscape mode is enabled.

I have used MTTY and downloaded from at least two different locations and used 7 zip but I continue to receive the error message:

Error

Any suggestions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
No the entire screen freezes. It just shows the picture of the caller (standard picture), the "unlock" and "end call" buttons and the time and battery on top of course. But nothing responds, even the time stands still. Only a soft reset then works.

I've done a hard reset aswell and a reinstall of the rom to exclude is was one of my settings that caused it, but right after reinstalling the same happens.

Im from the Netherlands and my telecom provider is Hi (KPN).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
Solved the problem by updating the radio rom. I had the second to latest rom, but the latest is required to work with your rom. Maybe usefull to mention in the first thread.

Great rom anyway!

Good ROM

Hi maesus,

Hv tried your rom 1.5 for the past few days.. very impressive so far not only with the stability and speed. But also extra tweaks you might have done to make that for for business use.

I'm using that for push mail to company exchange server and have been trying to find a way to disable the encryption due to the fact that it'll slow down the phone once in a while.. especially after new photos or videos are taken and then filing that in SD card.

Don't know what you've done but seems the issues are gone.. Just curious on what's been done.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yavhadjiev:
Maesus I've tried to download your 1.5max version but when I start to extract, I had a massage telling me that file was broken. I've try to download from other links - same result! I did't have any problems with other versions of your wonderful ROM. Please check up your upload or send a massage how to deal with the problem. Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ionrage:
Love your ROM and what you did with the looks. It's fast and also looks good. However, I have been having problems with WLM, as I use it to get push mail from hotmail. Every now and then it keeps asking me to key in my password. Don't understand why. And, yes I have 'Save Password' checked. Hope this can be resolved as I can see you spent a lot of time tweaking not just the outside but the inside as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
You mean you got it running at the first time, but failed the next day? I totally have no idea about this... :confused:

Yes, I went deep dive particularly to take the encryption "problem" away. It is however, by paper, a violation to company policy to disable encryption on a company phone. :D But enabling it causes more problems - encryption only enabled for FATFS, but never for IMGFS. Apps that run files from both IMGFS and FATFS may run into problems, like Manila. What I did is to make sure encryption doesn't perform on any FATFS. That however has to be cooked and not installable via cab.

Sorry for this inconvenience. Please use 7-zip 9.xx beta to extract. I did a "mistake" for compressing using 7-zip 9.xx only compression method that causes others like WinRar or Winzip incompatible. This only happens to V1.5Max.7z.

I removed WLM package from v1.5. Looks like you are not the only one complain about this. I will cook them in for next version. For now, please use cab installation instead. My guess for the password popup, is it your WiFi disconnected often? I have included Nimbuzz in the ROM. May you try that as alternative to WLM at the moment?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
Maesus,

How can i change the background of the main tab with this rom> I can't find the setting to change it?

Or is it possible to load a different cab with themes without crashing the rest of the rom?

And a second question. The calendar only shows the 1st item in the agenda, is it possible to show the first 3?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jv4567:
So I'm really interested to find out what you did. I've put a mortscript as in the post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5537281 . Trying to undo what the policy has done to HKLM...EncryptBy Default registry entry.

Does that mean in your ROM I don't need that anymore? I'm really curious in knowing how you did that. Can you PM me on that?

Thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
For changing the background, please read Post #4.

It depends on the contents of the cab. Some cabs are usually "Skin" themes, that doesn't change the layout of the Home screen. Those are safe. But those cabs that alter the Homescreen, like Cookies, MaxManila, those may corrupt the Manila screens.

Calendar showing 3 items? Possible. Please read MaxManila thread.

;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tencheenian:
I have no problem setting the manila wallpapers, one i trying to point out that is.... the wallpaper in "start menu" and "lock screen". When i load a new 480x800 wallpaper to lock screen, it will change the start menu wallpaper as expected. however, it shows in the correct aspect ration in "lock screen" but it doesnt follow the 3x5 ratio in start menu. I suspect this is something to do with AMEBA setting.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tencheenian:
in order to change the wallpaper, you need to set the max manila setting WALLPAPER = B.

Just swipe down in your main tab to get to this setting page.
