Any chance to change the GPS port to "GPS Intermediate Driver" ? I only have Garmin and sometimes it failed to get to the correct GPS port but once I manually changed to "GPS Intermediate Driver" it started working.

May I know what Radio you're using? Which ROM version are you using?

Proximity Locker doesn't do it. Have you tried V2.8 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mbwatson:
Another Bug

Maesus,

I think I have located another bug in v2.8. When a picture is selected using the Photos & Videos Tab the picture fills the screen. However when the picture is tapped again, unlike previous versions (and the way it is supposed to work) options do not display to delete, go back to the main tab, etc. The "back" hard button must be used to exit the photo view. After this is done once, the view photo function will not work at all and the device must be soft reset. This also happens if you try to view a photograph that is an attachment on an email. I have also tried using file explorer to locate the picture and view, but with the same problem. The pictures lock the screen down similarly using that method also.

I used task 29, hard reset twice after the initial installation. Thinking that it may have been a conflict with some of my added programs, I hard reset again and tried without making any additions or deletions and achieved the same result. On a side note, a lot of the alarms/alerts that were in previous versions appear to have been deleted. I don't think they took up that much memory and I would prefer them installed.

I also tried the "two finger" tap during a call to try and turn off the screen but was unsuccessful.

So I sadly must say that I shall have to revert back to 2.7.2 and add swype on my own, and patiently await the next upgrade.

Confirmed, reverted back to 2.7.2 and none of the issues above were encountered. Recent documents is functioning, Photos & Videos tab works correctly, etc. Now if I can decided which swype cab to install, I will be good until 2.8.2 (or whatever new version) is released.

I'm lazy... don't wanna spend 1h for getting my device in state as before (reg tweaks, programs, email setup, restoring stuff....)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mbwatson:
PINk92 there is a CHT version of 2.8 but I have discovered that for me personally 2.7.2 has fewer bugs and have reverted back to that version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
mbwatson,

Thank you very much for your post and finding the bugs. I'm able to reproduce the Photo bug as well.

Thx for report, mbwatson ;)

Hi...

I missed the release of 2.8 and am currently downloading it.

Just read watson's post...

I want to hold on to 2.7.2 if the release of 2.8.x is about to happen...

If it takes more than a day I'll flash it anyhow and see if I can see some strange stuff.

Do you know if 2.8

I also don't understand how most of you can use the phone for more than 8 hours. I'm using radio 2.12.50.02 which is supposed to be one of the best in that area.

Maybe google latitude is the culprit....

I will test that after I flashed this one.

Oh yeah... I always turn off voice commands.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] s_john8686:
Yup for me the same thing, I tried v2.8 but didn't like the look and functionality wise I find it more troublesome to use since we have to swipe to uncover all the traditional "sense" tabs, then only goes from there.

Furthermore the clock looks uglier to me.

Reverted back to v2.7.2 and it works out quite fine and smooth. Just found out one thing, that when I add to quicklline the "misc" function -> "lock device" switch does not work ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I upgrade to 2.8 anyhow. Not much different than 2.7.2 and I'm not using the camera that much, so I can hold out until its next release

I'm using the slim digital clock with the weather next to it. This way and some carefully moving I have space for 5 appointments

That button doesn't work in 2.7.x nor on 2.8.*
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
I just flashed it v.2.8 this morning. Here is what I found:

-sms, call, email works just fine

-internet works fine

-there is resco file explorer in the home shortcut, but when it is clicked, it said that Error opening the shorcut" Is this app included in the ROM? I dont think so

-I think no need to include the Ereader tab since the HTC ereader is already installed as stand alone application (to save space)

-Strange thing, I sometime found that Sound & Display tab didnt show any menu (it's just blank white screen (still there is the title Sound & Display but no content). So I have to go to window system to change any sound. Soft reset will help this issue, but sometime it happened again.

-More strange found, when I try to change the phone ring, there is only few sound to choose, but if you go into the "Notification" (under window) and Event: Nachtricht, you will find more sound to choose. Is it in the different folder?

I tried to install "AM Slider Transparante con cornice Sense 2.5" to make the slider transparent (not only slider box), but it freeze the Sense, soft reset didnt help. So I remove it. Is there any other way to make the Slider transparent?

Thats all I found up to now. Will report if found any other issues.

In general, the ROM is fast and have nice appearance (eye candy)...

Thanks for sharing the ROM....

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Titek:
hello Maesus.

Thanks for your reply.

No chance to change to GPS Intermediate Driver in fact, Ndrive freezes just at the beginning, and even in the system settings, I can not find it.

The Radio rom is the one you recommand to use with the V.2.8.

I tried to go back to the V2.7.2 but no way. I also used Mtty and reloaded that rom but no way, Ndrive is still freezing, now. but it worked fine before I loaded the new radio + rom.

I also disabled landscape mode, but the result is still the same.

I will try to see what's wrong.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I tried to work on the Photo tab bug but until now still cannot solve it! Shamefully I myself revert back to V2.7.2 for daily use after unable to nail down Album bug... although MaxSense experience kept me with V2.8 for about a week.

I thought the bug came with MaxSense, but even V2.8 CHT edition also had the same bug!! and I didn't keep the backup of V2.7.2 kitchen so basically I have shot my own foot!

Has anyone successfully get around the Photo tab fullscreen bug with V2.8?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yclam:
Hi Maesus, I have been a keen user of your ROM since v2.0 and updating every time you released new ones. I similarly encountered many those problems reported by other users with v2.8, but unfortunately am just not technical enough to contribute. I reverted back to 2.7.2 last Sunday, but still follow closely on related posts daily (that's what a retiree can afford!)

While you're still stuck with the issues, I do want to applaud you with your professionalism and spirit.

Keep it up, Maesus!

Thank you so much yclam! :)

I'm looking at the latest Huashan leak and see if the mixture of newer EXT packages would help to get rid of the bug(s) ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi Maesus,

I dont find any other issues (at least to my experience with my HD2) with your version 2.8.

A hot coffee is on the way to you. I sent you a PM. Please check before it's getting cold;)

Help with Contacts Lists

I am hoping that someone here may be able to help me with an issue I have.

When I select to send a new message (SMS or MMS) and the blank form appears I select the icon on the top far right to bring up a list of contacts. This list has a verticle (alphabet) listing so that I can choose the first letter of the last name of the desired contact, instead of either typing the name in the "search people" box at the top of the screen or scrolling down through all the contacts until finding the desired one. (see first screen shot).

However when I choose to send a new email the option for selecting a contact is select the "To:" icon which brings up a different list of contacts. This list does not have the vertical (alphabet) list. Therefore I am required to enter at least a portion of the name in the empty box at the top or scroll down through the contacts from A - Z until reaching the desired one. (see second screen shot)

Is there anyway to display the vertical (alphabet) list on the with the new email contact list? Or is it possible to change so that when I select the "To:" it displays the same contact last as is displayed when in the New Message (SMS or MMS) mode?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
THanks very much silverwind! I love Starbuck's White Chocolate Mocha very very much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
hi mhwatson, this is a good observation you have. Let me put in this way... the SMS/MMS Contact List is HTC Contact List; the email Contact List is WM6.5 Contact List. The Email is Pocket Outlook. I am not sure whether it is tweakable to make POutlook to use HTC Contact List. If it is, then this will suit your needs.

Let me research a bit and see if this is do-able. :D

Is anyone able to log onto their twitter account from the twitter tab? I am unable but can do it online.

MaesusLeo V2.8.1 Co0kie WWE only

Hmm, where to begin? So many little issues and minor problems that I'm SO hoping you have time to do yet another update, because it's a little unusable... sort of anywho.

The first issue hit me straight away was of course the e-mail set-up problem and will now try the fix for it in a moment, then setup my usual five accounts.

Facebook inbuilt part is both improved and also totally not improved. The Facebook tab is getting a lot better and also the new configuration options, however it seems a little slow and rather buggy still (freezing up a lot and not going to the right screen when tapped upon).

I use the 'Send to Facebook' option a lot when taking still photos with the camera, but this options seems to have vanished no matter what I do!?

SMS/MMS does not show any conversation history any more with the contact you are replying too

The weather location now ONLY says 'London' and not the area (town etc) that I'm actually in currently.

Setting Tab/Sound & Display doesn't show anything

AMeBa seems to get rather slow at appearing when needed

The Dinik's icons and reflective overlays are still hideous (iMHO)

Can't seem to figure out how I get a nice thumbnail images for Internet favourites as this works randomly
​

So that's my lot for now and you might like to know, I have tried to start using 'HTC music' thingy over TCPMP and yes, it works a lot better and easier, with also a lot more options available, but still hate having to build PlayLists for everything, rather than just being able to play a folder or selected folders.

Maybe not welcomed to say, but 'VBN Rom / Universal / Black' by Sanjeev Rana, has probably THEE best GUi skin/design I've seen and used! However it's functionality is nothing like a Maesus Rom (which is the hard part really) and I'm now at the stage of trying to combine the two, sort of!

Anywho.. thanks again for the great Rom, I'm still here using and abusing your great work, drifting off for brief moments to try other random Roms. Still nothing compares, but so wish I could mix the GUi design work with Sanjeev's into it. (-_-)

*PS* Just tried installing the 'E-mail setup - fix' and "computer says no". [-_-] It basically says "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions". [-_-] Bummer!!! [-_-]

Mail setup

Fazz,

When I first tried to install the email fix cab, I also received the error message. It was due to the fact that I had tried to set up the email account and didn't properly close it out before trying to install the fix. I cancelled the install, went to task manager and closed email set up. I then ran the email fix cab and it was successful. I was able to set up my three accounts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mbwatson:
JCET Print

After installing the JCET Print cab and trying to run the same I receive the error message, "wt5jetpr is not a valid PocketPC application". See attached screenshot.

I still have the twitter problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Sounds so screwed :( Let me see....

1) email setup problem - I found the bug and have it fixed. I have also tested the Cab I made and it worked on my phone. No unsuccessful error message. Hmm... this is more difficult for me to debug if I can't reproduce on my phone. -.- Please wait for next ROM release then... :o

2) Facebook updated to v1.5. Please check this thread. It DOES require some reading on setting up the Facebook. See if you could find anything therer. I will also read the thread and seek for any improvements...

3) Send to Facebook ... hmm...

4) SMS / MMS, no problem at my phone too...

5) ...

The list of your problems sound like incomplete installation? I think you probably need to do another Task 29? As most of the issues you mentioned are not shown in my phone...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Sorrya bout that. Can you try to run it from File Explorer \Windows\wt5jetpr.exe , does it work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mbwatson:
Sorry Maesus,

Same result, not a valid pocketpc application. However, the WordCard Mobile cab installed and works fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I had problems syncing with my zarafa server using activesync (I installed the cab for mail after its virgin setup). It connected to my server, but it didn't detect new persons / agenda-items / mails.

After reverting to 2.8 it however took some time before it really started syncing, but in the end it did.

I'm not 100% sure it's the ROM's fault. Just want to mention it in case others see the same behaviour.....

I will try smaberg's rom until the next maesus update. I haven't 'hopped' for a while....

MaesusLeo V2.8.1 Co0kie WWE only - Facebook issues

OK, I've managed to get e-mails working fully now with your fix, so many thanks for that. The SMS/MMS issue seems to have gone by itself, but maybe because I had a lot of older SMS/MMS still sitting in my device, it took a few restarts to order it all and cache them all into the right place... maybe? But works fine now!

The issue with Facebook is a little complicated and I think the 'send to Facebook' is still there, but just not enabled yet because of the activation part. The problem with that I'm finding is I can't activate my Facebook profile on my phone. When I hit activate, it just gives me a black screen and nothing else. I can't close it and start again, it's just stuck there. The only way I can get back to the options page is soft restarting the device. Even Restarting Sense doesn't do it.

Anywho, I'll look into this more later, because there are other options to get it authorized, so the creator obviously knew that other options would be needed for this very problem. Busy sorting our lots of little Birthday surprises for my Mrs so I'll be busy until tomorrow morning now. [^_^]

The weather location still just shows London now matter what I do, which is a shame, as it was a KooL feature. Oh well... off to get celebrating \(^_^)/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
for Facebook activation, please use Browser method. Copy and Paste the "success" authentication link, then your Facebook will work.

May I know originally where "send to facebook" should appear? in Album? Photo tab? or where?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
repack with older Album version, the Facebook link is back. ^^ Looks like not all the latest Huashan EXT inherited all the features from LEO's older EXTs...I'll build with older Album package in next build. :D

What else features are missing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PINki92:
1) I was testing Android build and when wanted to return to WM, the sense couldn't launch. It doesn't give me any error but it just freezes and only works Start button.

Other guys (using other ROMs) run it normally I think. Don't know what's wrong? Maybe you now Maesus, or you don't stick with Android right now ;)

2) I gave you suggestion for RamDisk and is it "enabled" or do I have to set it up manually? What do I need to do it in that case? Would like to use it for pics cache or sth...

And I have words off my language in .txt file, do you maybe now how to add them to swype?

And good ROM btw =)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I'm currently running smaberg's latest, but I want to return to your ROM again...

Should I wait for 2.8.2 or will that take a few days?

Syncing with smaberg's was troublesome too, but in the end it synced (after several hours).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
1) Android... you need to make sure your Storage Card has VERY LARGE free space. ;) could it be your storage card is full and could not return to WM?

2) RAMDISK is enabled in 2.8.1. It is hidden, \wramdisk. You can use Total Commander to browse it, by typing the folder name \wramdisk manually. There is not many things can be set. I tried to move some of the \Application Data\ to \wramdisk but unsuccessful. :( Looks like only IE is taking advantage of ramdisk. Not sure if I could move Opera's cache to \wramdisk too, but where is Opera cache and how can I move it? :confused::confused::confused:

If you know some tricks, please let me know. ;)

I only have Album (send to facebook) fixed so far. What other critical bugs in 2.8.1 that must be fixed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PINki92:
I have 2-4gb free space on SD card. Don't know what's wrong here. Can it have permission to change some of the "htc sense" files? Will ask in android thread. Don't bother with this.

And btw, I can't write in email (exchange) with ABC style, only numbers!! Can write only IF i change to swype.

Can't you fix that? I guess nobody is willing to write email with numbers:)

Have this problem only in email app... sms, internet works fine (writting).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
Activesync is rather critical for me....

But as I said... migrating to smaberg was giving me headaches as well.

I will revert to 2.8.1 and if syncing is really impossible I will report here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
I can't get it to sync....

It connects but doesn't see any changes.....

I thought I could somehow force a sync by sending a message through email and discovered another bug. I didn't set swype as keyboard yet (in qwerty mode) and it displays a numeric keypad when entering the email-address.....

The activesync is definitely a showstopper for me....

It may be related with zarafa, but previous roms worked flawless....

PS: After applying the hotfix it started to sync.... (forgot about it, sorry)

the keyboard-bug is still there (numeric keypad when sending mail....)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mbwatson:
Swype cab file

Maesus,

Since I have had no issues with 2.7.2, I am sticking with it until 2.8.2 is released. I would however like to use the version of Swype that you have integrated into the 2.8 series. Do you have a cab that will install the version you are using? I have tried numerous cabs found on this site and elsewhere but none seem to work as well as the one your are using. Thanks for your work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
frater, how to get to the keyboard-bug again? :o I want to reproduce it....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I am not sure if CAB installation of Swype could get it run as smooth as being cooked in... I can make one for you to try out...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
So you have an alphabetic keyboard when sending mail?

Well, in my autoinstall folder I have a CAB which enables Dutch eT9. I only need to add ',0113' in the registry to make it available.

It's possible this CAB breaks something which causes it to give me a numeric keyboard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Normal Touch Input keyboard. Let me compare the registry of the cab... maybe can get some hints there.

Update: Not much hints from there.. :( Have to dig further...
