@Chef_of_Sweden - I've tested it fairly well now, and happy there are no major issues, and am uploading it now.

@BumAround - I share similar views, the HTC Messaging application is great, fits in with Manila nicely actually quite functional. Its a shame that the most simple function of typing lets it down badly. Perhaps by releasing the Sprint Touch Pro 2 ROM with it disabled is an admission of defeat. Regarding the ugly WM messaging, see:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614131

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622520

which is a start to making it more acceptable

Also bear in mind, the Sense 2.1 style messaging still does most of the messaging on the people tab so you can really avoid WM messaging apart from maintenance.

@TurtleTech - Yeah, I extracted the whole of Manila from the Sprint TP2 ROM and put it in a stock Topaz ROM, and removed some supporting packages and added Arcsoft MMS. This does mean I get some custom Sprint tabs (navigation and TV that don't work as the software isn't cooked in but could..) and some minor branding (i've only found it in the music tab so far) It is exactly like our stock ROM other than that!

Regarding the Messaging Tab its exactly the same experience as Sense 2.1 The main tab from the home screen shows the latest messages and allows you to browse through receive messages. Pressing a message loads the people tab and the conversation. Pressing "all messages" loads the WM messaging app as does "compose"

Unlike the hacks to remove messaging, notifications display and dismiss properly, the number of texts bubble works as it should and the LED behaves properly :) Looks like this Manila was specifically build for 2.1 style messaging.

An interesting package included is SMSRetry. A great feature of HTC messaging was the ability to send a text and if it can't be sent, it will retry when it can. This is sorely missing from every WM release but this package sorts that out. I still get "the message can't be sent" but it will retry in the background. Tried and tested :)

Bravo, craiglay! Yea, HTC should've fix their messaging instead of just admit defeat. Oh well....

hi all...

my topaz doesent have that messaging bug.

it only occurs when i install the brand new rom...with manilla 2.5

the 2.1 works like a charm.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumAround:

all the trouble starts with the messaging in Sense 2.5. :mad:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
I've been using it for a few days now, sending about 20 messages a day (hence why i wanted a solution) All works perfectly. This Manila was written with WM messaging and the 2.1 style Manila tab.

As I said, there are some tabs that don't work but can be hidden using the "personalise tabs" and theres some minor branding in the music tab but apart from that everything works as expected :)

My ROM is stock, the only change is the Manila packages and i've upped the PagePool to 20MB so you're free to tweak it to how you like

Craig
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's really a shame we have to use these unfinished hacks in order to get the second most important function on a phone working at all. The 2.5 messaging looks really nice, integrates beautifully with contacts and other social networks, but is really unusably slow. How hard can it be for HTC to fix it? The other solutions make it usable but aren't as nicely integrated into Sense so they have their disadvantages. All in all, my point was that there currently doesn't exist a 100% working solution for Manila for text messages which is epic fail!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumAround:
...probably so that they (HTC) can later release model(s) with 'working' messaging app. :rolleyes:

In fact the Official 6.5 Rom cannot use WM Messaging for MMS ???

I'm try several patch and Arcsoft programs, MMS message stay at 0% ... HELPPPPP
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurtleTech:
SOLUTION FOUND.

Before I was running a Dutty rom with sense 2.5 text messaging. Upgrade to Energy rom and perfection. Phone runs night and day better, text is handled with the windows text msg which is fine as it works without minutes of delays. MMS send receive just fine. Energy ROM rocks, Now if I can just get this BT tethering to work again. Much happier with Energy.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BumAround:
Workaround actually, not a solution. :)

I know NRG Roms by reputation, it's way cool... but the htc messaging remains the same. :rolleyes:

energy rom

it is now fixed with energy rom, It keeps htc messaging for its calendar / appointments editor etc etc. for actual messaging in the sms tab, new message brings u to windows messaging new message. all messages brings u to windows messaging. clicking on a sms brings u to the contact's tab with a skinned messaging tab with messages and a input box.

windows messaging is also somewhat skinned, with threaded view using an htc looking skin
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Bro Craig,

Is it possible to have this fix in a cab format so we can install it over our existing Manila?

I'm using a HD2, and the only way to experience sense 2.1 messaging is to install EnergyROM. If your solution works as a standalone cab, it'll be AWEsome!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
Sorry for delay, for some reason I dont get notifications from this thread..

I think too much changes deep in the system files for this to be made into a cab. You have the option of cooking your very own ROM though! Its easier than you think..

Grab osKitchen from XDA Dev's, and an official HD2 ROM you want to use as a base. Searching around will get you the Sprint Touch Pro 2 messaging EXT's and further searching will get you Arcsoft for MMS's. Mix it all together and flash.

Thats how I did it! I'll try and answer and questions

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hinsubria:
I tried all I found in this forum, but I couldn't solve the problem... I always get the ERROR [300] INVALID UPDATE TOOL

It seems that the only way to restore it is to load the original ROM, but I don't know which one it is (I suppose it's a WWE version...); I tried to get the device ID with the USB sniffer method, but it can't be read (Error!).

The internal label shows following:

P/N:99HCL042-00

IMEI:352442016058693

and there is a second label with

Can anyone help me???

Thanks a lot,

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] afn691:
First of all, did you search the Wiki ?

Possibly your IPL/SPL is too low.

If you think that's the one, try to download the WWE official ROM and try to flash it.

You should tell where you found/bought the device and which was the version you were using before having the device dead.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akademik_acheeba:
im using vista64. it shouldnt matter which version you are using because drivers are automatically installed when you connect via usb. when i first plugged in my tp2, it automatically set everything up. dont try to configure the modem crap in MyComputer, but rather just hook up via the internet sharing app on the tp2 or if your laptop supports wifi, enable wifi on your tp2 and search for the signal on your laptop. the above mentioned forum topics should have more than helped. its easier than you make it bro.:cool: btw, are your carrier internet settings correct? here are settings for Tmobile and ATT. hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
For sure give this thread a read: Wifi Internet Sharing

It's the easiest way to turn your phone into a router and get internet on your laptop. That said, if your laptop or desktop isnt wifi enabled then you'll just have to teather it using "internet sharing" I havn't seen a rom yet (even my stock ATT rom had it I believe) that doesn't have internet sharing built into it as a standard option in the com manager or in the connections settings.

2. Follow the att instructions but my phone has the media net setting locked and I can't edit them

"Media Net This connection is pre configure. It cannot be modify'

3. installed all kind of drivers still not recognized as a standard modem

Is it a rom issue?

Drivers issue?

att plan that has to upgragded to tehter "won't go there"

Unlocking the phone?

Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Have you tried connecting the laptop to the phone via Bluetooth (if you have that option on your laptop)? I was trying to get Internet Sharing going this way, and once I paired the two, I got an option to use the phone as a dial-up modem, rather than just sharing the phone's ATT data connection (which sounds like exactly what you are looking for). For some reason, I got this option when I connected via Bluetooth, and not USB. Also, I'm using XP, and not Vista, so I don't know if that will change the options.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akademik_acheeba:
which rom are you using?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akademik_acheeba:
ok so if you are using the stock rom, why cant you connect? your settings are automatically set up on a stock rom. you must have done something in the connections settings to screw up your connection. just reflash the stock rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quiquerc:
Well thanks for all the help and suggestions but the problem was the actual phone

I went to ATT and changed the unit and now it works fine I was able to connect via internet sharing using wifi apparently there was hardware failure with my original tilt

Thanks you for all your help!!!

I found the drop poll very informative. I was hoping a screen scratch and protection poll might be helpful as well.

I do not use a screen protector, I carry my phone normally and I have no scratches.

This poll mostly applies to people who are not using protectors.

We will assume that screen protectors work and prevent screens from scratching.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Gr33kJag:
Hi all, my Hermes/JasJam LCD screen and front panel stopped working a while back with the whiting out issue, funny artifacts and non working buttons. I have pulled it apart quite a few times to make temporary solutions but none have lasted enough.

So now I'm looking to buy a used Hermes and jack the screen part off it and place it on mine. Now I know how to do this but what came to my mind was:

Buy the newer version of the Hermes and place it's front part on my old jasjam which would be like a mixed/modded Hermes.

So I saw the O2 Zinc and the TyTN II and i really like the front panels better than the original hermes ones. So, before I buy one of them, does someone know if the ribbon cable is the same as the original one that connects to the phone's mainboard?

Any help much appreciated!

[Omnia II General] PGS17:
Dear community,

thank you so much for this huge forum and your many efforts to help new smartphone users like me in getting used to Windows Mobile.

Please let me first give some info about my device:

-Samsung OmniaPro B7610

-Windows Mobile 6.1

-afaik, there is no branding on the phone

Since I do not have an internet flatrate in my mobile contract, I was looking for a complete-no-cost navigation software for my phone. Thus I found We-Travel.

When I wanted to install We-Travel, my Java KVM (Aplix Jblend 20090908a) told me that there is a problem with the authentification of the certificate (Note: It did not say that the certificate is expired!).

So, after several forum threats, I came to the conclusion that my KVM was causing the trouble. I replaced it by a late Esmertec version - the installation of We-Travel worked without any problems. However, I could not use the software, since my display does not show me information about what is currently running when I start We-Travel. The installation of We-Travel itself was strange, as well. The phone asked me several times to choose "Yes" or "No", but the display did not show for what to choose.

Now that I have installed Esmertec, the KVM does not tell me any info about the current installed KVM-version. I tried Jbed 20090506.2.1 ,20090416.5.1 and 20090217.5.1.

For better understanding, I made two screenshots.

This is the home-screen when I open Esmertec:

(I am not allowed to post outside links...)

Here you can see the "About-screen" where normally version-infos are displayed:

(I am not allowed to post outside links...)

As you can see, there is no input there, no matter which of the 3 versions I install on the phone.

Esmertec is also not shown at "installed programms", and I cannot reinstall Aplic Jblend since I do not have the .cab on my phone and cannot find a late version to download.

I tried several soft-resets before and after the isntallation of Esmertec - did not solve anything.

Do you have any idea what to do?

There are not many alternatives to Esmertec - I would love to use this KVM...

Thank you so much for reading until here - maybe someone has an idea?

Warm regards

i tried searching the google for solutions to these, but couldn't seem to find any solutions in the "other" forums that came up in the results. i was hoping someone here might have an answers.

coming from WinMo, the biggest annoyances on the hero for me are:1) when i'm playing music off the phone and i receive any sort of notification, the music pauses for like 2 seconds plays the notification sound pauses then resumes the music instead of the just playing the notification sound over the music the pause happens even if i have the phone set to vibrate mode...just no notification sound..this is extremely annoying. 2) also i noticed the power button and end call button are the same button which is ok, but when i'm leaving voicemails i have a tendancy to just hit hang up when im done however i noticed that if the screen goes off during my call and i press end call it just turns the screen back on instead of ending my call...extremely dangerous when leaving messages..

does anyone have any solutions or workarounds for these?

thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
The AOSP 1.6 roms solve the issue with the end button, as it is the ONLY way to hang up a call in vanilla Home Android. Notification w/ Music? Didn't test that yet, but the 1.6 roms are definitely worth a try. I'll get back to you on the music notification thing. Hope this helped.

EDIT: Apparently it solves both issues. Hope I helped you with this. If you like Sense UI, the AOSP roms aren't for you, they do away with Sense.
[Hero CDMA General] ajaholic:
Can you clarify this a bit? What do you mean by it is the only way to hang up a call? Are you saying in AOSP the screen just stays on for the entire duration of the call?
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
if you press the "menu" button after the screen shuts off during a call, it'll turn back on, at which point you can either press the red button, or the "end call" button on the screen.

Or, if you pull the phone away from your ear and see that the screen is off, and want to end the call, hit the red button twice in quick succession, and it'll turn on then hang up within a second or two
[Hero CDMA General] defaria:
The idiot who decided to make the power button and the hang up button one button should be shot, IMHO! Yes there are workarounds and ways to handle it but they require too much thought and it's just way too easy to hang up on somebody.

Also, the interrupt the music (or podcast) to play the alarm is dumb too. Additionally it's not like they pause the music rather the music runs onward and, if you happen to be listening to a podcasts where the words are important you can miss key concepts and have to rewind.

I've flashed the 2.1 ROM with HTC Sense. I would not put it beyond the HTC guys to have messed it up and made it so that the alarm still interrupts the music. The power button thing is definitely not solved in this ROM.

But by far my biggest complaint is improper handling of AVRCP. 2.1 is better but it's still not even good. If I start Google Listen and am listening to a podcast then I can hit pause on my bluetooth headset and it works. If, however, I navigate away from Google Listen then the pause button doesn't work at all. Often it'll start the HTC Music app and then I'll have both the podcast AND music playing. Brilliant!
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
just a thought but maybe you should have looked into the phone before purchasing. and being rude and saying that the 2.1 isnt any good is really insulting to all the devs that have worked really hard on that rom considering that it was built well before the kernel source came out. and im sorry but if you cant remember to hit menu and then end instead of just end then maybe you should just get a flip phone. as far as the notification over the music goes, gee lets think about this, your listening to music and you get a text hmmmmmmm maybe you want to be NOTIFIED that you got a text.

my advice. Either go back to a winmo phone or get a flip.
[Hero CDMA General] ajaholic:
i don't think he meant to insult the developers..the hero is definitely a great phone and androids is awesome, but there are bugs and what better way to solve them them to point them out and discuss them.

its not so much that you cant remember to hit end twice or press menu and then hit end, but its the fact that you have to take the extra step. and text messaging thing, yes it lets me know that i have a text, but i would have known that if it played the sound concurrently or if it just flashed the lights, but ok that's not major issue i understand some people like to hear the sound separately. however, if i have the phone on vibrate and am playing music, it still pauses the music when a notification comes even tho it doesn't play the notification sounds..that's just plain ridiculous.

i mean if i'm paying for a high end phone i kind of expect to manufacturer to have done research and testing in UI and human interaction to address these kind of issues.
[Hero CDMA General] ajaholic:
btw i found this app in market call "proximity sensor" that kind of fixes the end call problem. when you are on a call it uses the light sensor to detect if you have the phone up to your head and it dims the screen and turns it back on when it sees light. the only hickups are if you are in a dark area you have to hit back to get the screen back on as there wont be any light for it detect and also it doesn't turn off the screen just dims it..so might kill your battery a bit quicker, but all in all i tihnk it's pretty nice.
