Hi,

Your ROM is simply AMAZING!!

Fast and somehow there is a "Search" function under SMS, which I miss so much. As the one which I use was very crappy.

Right now, the only thing is that is missing for me is :

Touch X Taskmanager

I tried installing it but couldn't get it to work. Can you help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I read up your post and found this .....

Version 2.8.6

+ Updated HTC Messaging Client - now more stable, but phone number comes back in threaded mode.

Actually, I think the above is not a bug.

You see, quite alot of people have different hp nos. In the past, when somebody has a company hp and a personal hp, I'll put the MOST used no as "Mobile" and the other no as "Pager"

But the problem is that WM doesn't allow us to send SMS to "Pager" no.

Recently, I have realised that we can send SMS to all other no field, eg. "Company", "Work", etc.

So with this :

"+ Updated HTC Messaging Client - now more stable, but phone number comes back in threaded mode."

We are able to see exactly the source (hp no) that the SMS was sent from. So now, with this, I am able to see a person sending from "Mobile" or "Company" or "Work".

Hope this helps all of you. =)

will this work on my tmobile us htc hd2? its 1024mb flash
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Yes bro, completely agree with you that Maesus' ROMs are simply amazing! very stable too! I pondered hard & long before switching from Zenkinz' ROM... but don't regret making the switch now! :D

Thank you so much, coolfire!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I didn't ponder too long at all ... because the last I flashed was like few month back.

So it's time for a change and this is probably the only ROM with CHS.

By the way .... I don't really use Voice Command ... but I did try it .... but couldn't get it to work anyway.

How do you switched between task?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
i1magic,

The task manager is for WM6.5, the classic one that still has Start button at the top of the screen.

However, my builds are only WM6.5.x, the Start button at the bottom left of the screen. Those Task Manager will not work well with WM6.5.x. I believe you are migrating from WM6.5 classic. Please spend some time to get used to the WM6.5.x GUI. ;)

Please try this, TAP HOLD on the Start button, then you will get the Task Manager popup. It will occupy the entire screen though. The buttons are monotonic and there is no way to skin it. But it's a much better Task Manager than WM6.5's very own. It doesn't really support "double-tap". So to switch the app, just tap once on the app you plan to switch, and select the bottom left button.

On my previous builds, I had tried to put in MMTaskManger, ArkSwitch, and eventually took them off and stick with the one I have in my ROM now, as it's the most stable and won't crash other apps..

maesus,

could you give description of using XDA_UC backup, somehow in details, such as how export quick link, create reg etc? I saw an automatic install after flashing, but don't know how do you prepare for that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rudyfastcat:
GREAT ROM Just One Question

Maesus I have flashed both versions of your ROM and they are great !

Just one question why is the ROM only recognizing 276.87 MB of Storage Size ?

RAM is recognized as 576MB ?

I am using Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and I did flash back to Radio 2.08.50.05 and still had the same results.

Thanks for your input....:)

XDA_UC MaesusLeo Customization

XDA_UC installation tips are generally similar as listed here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3611692

I made some modifications so that the sequence of the installation will be like this:

My.tsk file from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

and if not present Cook.tsk from Windows Folder.

import *wifi*.*xml and *mail*.*xml provisional registry settings for WiFi and Email setup.

Copy Over User Files.

Check for "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" if present, Disable Manila from Homescreen then Copy files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" to the root of the device, Then checking for existence of wallpaper_TF3D.png or wallpaper_TF3D.jpg in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" and adding that to

[HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila]

"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\Windows\\wallpaper_TF3D.jp g"

Import registry files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows\manila.reg" If present

Re-enable Manila on Homescreen and redraw it. Now also works for the Sense 2.1 and up versions.

.xdas files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

Silently run Legacy SDConfig.txt from Storage Card

(If your using RunCC.exe or Autorun you do not need to point to or use SDAutorun.exe or SDConfig.txt) Thanks to RoryB

Commands for SDConfig.txt can be found here....

.cab files in "\Storage Card\autoinstall"

This makes it compatible with your storage card's setup for Tom's Autoinstall.

.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location. Not recommend using this method. Please use Manual instead.

.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual",These cab files will start with Full User interaction capabilities to choose where to install to.

.reg files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

.xml files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

.mscr files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

.cer files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

Create Shortcuts and more from Registry Keys

More information here....

Copy over welcomehead.192.01.png & welcomehead.192.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.

Copy over welcomehead.96.01.png & welcomehead.96.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.

Actually everything is copied over from Copy2Root folder to root, but the above Splashcreens get their file atributes removed before this happens.

Add native support for .mscr, .mortrun, .xda, xdai, xdas & .xdaz files

Well, I hope this is good enough to explain everything. Good luck with setting up your XDA_UC! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Storage Size is what is left for user to use. The actual Storage Size is 512MB, but the ROM occupies 235MB and left 277MB for users. That's not all. Anything outside of \Windows\ folders, including its own subfolders, \Program Files, \My Documents etc, will occupy the User Storage Size. Hence by the end of the ROM installation, only hundred MBs over for user. My ROM is quite packed with lots of apps, hence the large size.

RAM is 576MB, yes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fuwuyie:
0ne question how we turn off automatic UC install (as your rom). I like manual install.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
just don't put anything in \storage card\autoinstall and \storage card\XDA_UC\

It will still take a while for RunCC to complete, that cannot be skipped.

Frankly ... the alarm for HD2 .... is CMI (aka Cannot Make It) .... so I don't bother.

The cheap simple Nokia phone's alarm is the best. Loud and good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Thank you so much, PINki92! :D

OK... I'll include a 3rd party freeware alarm app in next build... Any suggestion?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Actually .... I was also afraid that frequent playing of loud sound from the HD2 will spoil the speaker easily .... that's why didn't bother with using it as alarm clock.

That is why I didn't bother to find also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fazz:
Maesus v2.8.7 | Cookie with WWE only | Built in HTC Sence Alarm clock and then some

Ahoy hoy 'H'... I use a combination of my (own) radio alarm clock and my HTC HD2 too. The phone has let me down a few times in the distant pass, but not recently I must say. I have Robin Williams screaming out "Goooooood morning Vietnam" which always wakes me up with a squinting smile or laughter.

Anywho, I haven't had the same issues your suggested and I must admit, I'm slightly against using other alternatives, due to NOT trusting them... had bad experience with so many being unstable or not sound-off when they are meant too.

I usually keep my phone on 'total' silence over night and the alarm always breaks through that without fail these days, but not all other programs have done so.

@i1magic - It's so strange you mentioned not playing sounds through your HTC HD2 to prolong it's loud speaker life, as I'm wondering if I've actually worn mine out a little already. OK, so I've hammered the phone for almost a year now in every way possible, but it all seems fine really and now coming closer to the stage of selling my HTC HD2 off now and updating to either the HTC Desire HD (officially announced today) or hopefully a HD3 if that ever happens in the immediate coming months.

My only issue currently own my phone is dropping signal a little more than it used, but not too off-putting and maybe something not related to the ROM and other going-ons with mobile masks in London.

SMS'ing (using TouchPad 4) has been both solid and much more speedy though and loving it a lot! an 'old' inbuilt feature I used to love in my days of Symbian OS based Sony Ericsson phones, was the ability to write a few SMS's on the tube and soon as you got signal, it would send automatically. I've not seen this on WM6.5 until now and via the ever so great 'Maesus Roms'. The whole new icon implementation on SMS's is brilliant and makes it SO much easier to know if it has actually been sent and/or network delays/errors.

The only one thing that still annoys me now (as always) is something that will backup my current basic settings and restore them each time I install and new ROM. It takes me about an hour to re-set-up the phone each time, with all the synchronizing stuff, four e-mail accounts, all the other on-line stuff and setting up my audio again each time, which takes a little while too (using Tonality). Hopefully I'll spend some time soon, working this out and by then, I'll be moving on to Android... or maybe a W7P... LoL! [^_^]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Probably that is because I have one HTC phones that the speakers died on me. Luckily that phone was still under warranty and I was able to get it repaired for free.

Yes ... I have tried Android ... really very fast. But I must say that bro Maesus' ROM actually extended the lifespan of my HD2 because he was able to make his ROM so fast and a faster search function for SMS .... and more finger friendly.

In the past ... I keep feeling that I need a D-Pad (up-down-left-right) button but I must say that Maesus' ROM makes me feel that I don't need that anymore.

From this picture :

The battery is not accessible easily unlike HD2. I got 2 spare battery for my HD2 and I'll always leave home with a spare fully charged battery even when I have a car charger.

My friend who uses the new IPhone 4 told me that the phone actually lasted him 5days!! Before he put it to charge ..... if this HTC Desire HD can last my normal usage for 2 days .... then I can live without spare batteries.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fazz:
I probably shouldn't say this... but what the hell... I also work for an Apple PR store (randomly and part-time only) and honestly... I think 75% of Apple products are rubbish and have never seen such a huge amount blind human customers of there whom buy there products no matter what! I also see 'one in three' of clients walk in for complaints or major repairs, which I'm finding almost unbelievable myself!

I've never heard ANYONE actually get more than over a day from the iPhone 4 and only if they have not used it much for anything or have it on-line at all.

I honestly would *only* recommend Apple products to those I do not care for or hate! [-_-]

Thanks for the update regarding the battery on the Desire HD, it's not a phone I would pay for, due it being pretty much the same as my HD2, so feel it's pointless and even an odd product to release now from HTC. However, it means it's a official HD2 (a like) product with Android officially installed, which can only mean good news for 'us' current HD2 users.

Right now, I need a small form factor Android OS based phone for my Mrs's and something a little beefier than my current HD2 (such as the next update to the HD2), but happy to wait a couple more months for this to happen. Only time will tell, but meanwhile researching on something for my Mrs's. [^_^]

How do I install this ROM? When I extract it, I only get this file:

RUU_Signed_0409.nbh

When I click on it, it does not work :(. Oh, wait I found a tool called FlashaholicRUU in an other ROM download, trying this now, seems to work :).

Sorry for the newbie question, yet I have been spoiled by other roms that included this RUU program :)

Can't this RUU utility be included in the downloaded 7zip archive?

However if I remove from main call log(which means it will include other contact which I dun wanna remove) it works, but I will have to manually select 1 by 1. Not sure if u could understand what I'm trying to say but appreciate if u could look into this if u can.

Wat about using opera 9.2 to click on YouTube link, then HD2 will auto launch YouTube app to view the clip, how to do tat? Ur current build doesn't comes with this linking.

Btw ur rom s a great platform for me to dual boot android as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I think the Menu at Contact's Call Log is "broken". Not sure if this is common for other ROMs or certain Manila EXT. This will need time to check.

Will check on the Youtube... hopefully it can be done.

Actually, I think the above is not a bug.

You see, quite alot of people have different hp nos. In the past, when somebody has a company hp and a personal hp, I'll put the MOST used no as "Mobile" and the other no as "Pager"

But the problem is that WM doesn't allow us to send SMS to "Pager" no.

Hope this helps all of you. =)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
What I have realised is that if the person that you SMS to send you SMS back from the same number ... only the name will be shown.

Once the other party were to SMS back from another number which you saved under Company or Work etc ... the threaded SMS will show the phone number instead of the name of the sender.

Anybody can confirm my findings?

Hi Maesus,

First of all, thanks for providing this wonderful rom.

this is my 1st time flashing your rom and i am loving it.

However, i could not connect to the internet with all of the program within the internet folder.

it keeps prompting i am not connected to the internet when i am 3g data connected with full bar for reception.

i thought it was some issues with my connection options but it turns out to be false as i could connect to the internet via HTC weather(when i add new locations, it is able to get the temperature and information without wifi turned on.) as well as syncing with my facebook (facebook tabs show lastest updates.)

is there some thing missing which i have not done??

would need your help with this...

thanks!

Ps. i have sent you an pm as well as i would like to solve this asap.

pardon me for it

Klaxon Alarm is not responsive

Hello

I love your ROM and now i found it is more battery friendly since the last version.

The only problem with this version is the new alarm system

i found it is not so responsive and lagging. Am im the the only facing this issue?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I cannot do any testing on mms now as I am roaming. When you said, not functioning, is it not receiving or not sending? What you can check is whether the mms server has been set correctly.

Can you run Opera from the HTC Internet tab? and does it load the internet?

What is your Radio version?

I found Klaxon works just nice. it doesn't miss an alarm, and the snoof works. When and where do you find it not responsive and lagging? By launching Klaxon? or when inside Klaxon interface? and inside which particular screen?
