No, i am a very new member here and i have tested only the new one and there are no problems with this rom. I am searching for a powerful and comfortable way to adjust the Backlight, this is very important for me. If anybody has a solution, please let me know...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
My roms always include a shortcut in the top of the startmenu that toogles backlight low, medium, high. There is a nice application, the exe is called BL05.exe. I think in my 23016 rom's post I have the link. I also make that the button on top of the volume keys will also toogle the backlight when longpressed.

There is another great app called mkvlight but it requires a setup.

Do some search in the forum and you can find both :)

edit: btw, back to the topic, I think my roms are quite quick in terms of performance.

It´s always you choice what rom you flash...All Polaris Rom`s are good...flash some to find out your "personal best rom"
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chourmovs:
yes the same here, pcarv made good rom like this in the past but he release so much that i don't remember witch one :)

Megan is really well finished, beautifully and bug less unlike kostas,tranhinman and alex one for my last attempt
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ~DrDoom~:
@cruiserrr

I have searched for this app called mkvlight, but i have nothing found here for Polaris and in the hole forum i cant find something about that.

What i have found is on www.freewarepocketpc.net , there are 3 Apps for dimming Background. You can find them by using the searchword backlight. Or use this link: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-backlight.html

There are only one App that will be running, is named MyLight and it works very well. Only one thing is mysterious, it generates two icons at Programme Folder, i dont know why but it works.

@Topic

I am searching only for german Roms and i found only two here. The 3LIT3 VIII full was great and one from Alexander-Vogt1@gmx.de. The second one from Alex i will test as next one. But there are so many different Roms on his thread and i have no idea which one i have to choose? And is there a oportunity to dimm the Backlight? ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413137&highlight=backlight Try this first. If not we will look for the other but this is my preferred one now.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ~DrDoom~:
Thank you so much, exactly what I needed. :)

I have put this nice app on my "Start Menu" key and it has now a much better use! 1 2 4 7 10 these are my tested favorite Parameters.

Very very nice thing, it works great. :cool:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bkf1:
Hello again... I have flashed the new Kostas D1 ROM (WM6.5.3) and for now I'm impressed... so far I must say it's MUCH MUCH MUCH better ROM in stability&speed than last Megan v1.3 ROM (WM6.5)... BTW pcarvalho ROM 23541 (WM6.5.3) was the worst ROM I have ever tryed on any PDA I had...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] solvga:
Kostas D1 is good.

Thank you for this information.

I flashed the Kostas D1 ROM a moment ago, just after I saw your post, and I'm impressed, too. It's much faster than any other 6.5 ROM I've tried. It also takes less time to restart. But I don't know its stability, yet. :D

Sorry for my English.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
bkf1, I am not using anymore pcar ROMS since I am producing my own ones adapted to my needs but... pcarvalhos ROMs have always been among the best available and many others have feed themselves from pcarvalhos ideas and tweaks. Sounds extrange, I suggest you try another one of pcar or repeat the following installation instructions since they are one of the best choices available.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] vrflyer:
After trying all popular ROM's for a week, Megan ROM is by far the best(and stable), Alex's comes in 2nd, then Kostas & sadly pcarvalho's is just plain horrible.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pcarvalho:
hummm...let me guess...mixing COM branchs are we? guessing so...

to bad no one says whats good and whats bad per ROM...that would at least be usefull for the cooks...

cheers
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Innersense:
actually i think that pcarvalho is absolutely right. even if this thread is dedicated to the fastest (ok to answer that) and best (? hard to answer, according to every user personal preferences), i think it would be better to recomend the much stable and bug free rom.

so we should try to write 2-3 + and - for any rom sugested. that will help not only the users, but also the cooks.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bkf1:
Yeah maybe another one from pcarvalhos could be MUCH better I don't want to say otherwise BUT frankly I don't want to make my PDA testing-device only ;o) For this time I found Kostas ROM very stable&fast (I'm sure it's also because of work from other chefs like pcarvalhos) so there is no need for me to change ;o)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pcarvalho:
i guess you gonna miss on 23547 then ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
Hi pcarvalho, can you explain two lines on the main COMs? I am currently working with 28008, but I feel coriuos about 23547. I guess it is the one with the new time & alarms screen but what are the main differentes?

BTW, to all cookers, most of the Polaris cookers, at least me, have problems with the public releases of SYS+OEM*ROM packages (what to recmod, how to integrate nk with the kitchen, ghost screen and so on...). That is what we have so much 23016 releases around I think. Anybody willing to share other versions for EVK or willing to make a newby step-by-step guide on how to update SYS on the Polaris? Maybe then we see more and more good ROMS to choose on.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
Wow, you are like a wiki with legs !! Thanks for this wonderful post. I must say however my slot 0 is full of modules (both when I use amenatis or gullums kitchen as a basis) and I have always been very satisfied with performance.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
in the past i have problems with booting new rom and about 520 moduls (now 410-430)...i search and search and found this....with this my rom´s always boot and performence is good i think........so i hope this will help you :):)

only thing is...recmod needs many time

with kind regards...alex
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
Somewhere around in the xda there is a script to automate recmoding based on a list of files (can be launched from evk extrabuttons). Next time it comes to my eyes I will post the link.

In my case recmodding to much means a slower rom so I think that is the real cooking (ext packages and reg keys are only the spices)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
i know this script but not work on my win 7 and also not on my win vista pc...but thanks for the info

and yes recmod makes it slower but we must recmod because of the old device and also because the wm 6.1 nk

and with 6.5 nk i heared of many problems

and the list is the best for both speed and recmod...because it´s tested :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pcarvalho:
what do you mean "new time & alarms screen" its still the same on 28XXX and 235XX...if you mean time and day selection, my rom has a plugin for time and calendar selection its not WM6.5 related...

there are lots of How to's and tutorials around here...start at the main source of those files Da_G threads...

recmoding...you just have to lower the number of recmoded files...you dont need to follow the above...i never recmoded those and i can call my rom slow...just recmod enough files to allow the rom to boot...

btw 23547 has chat like email...compared to 28008...to bad there's no compatible htc phone canvas cause 28110 seems pretty sweet...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] reg66:
don't mean to come across as the post police, however...

i wanted info on the best rom, not how to cook. any chance you could continue through pm's or start a new, applicable topic elsewhere
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
Sorry for that! I fully agree! :o

If you like lite roms, try mine. Version 28008 has some icons still to fix but I think no bugs, fast and with lots of functional extras and plenty of RAM/Storage. My ROMS are oriented to people not using manilla and having lots of programs in the SD card that want to have handy. You will find lots of info on the links in the signature. Version 26016 also available. Besides that, I always recommend swtos naked ROM's for wm6.1. For french speakers I recommend amenatis ROMs.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] speakerphone:
I used kostas's for a bit, it's fast, but frequently hangs while trying to answer calls

I used Megan lite, but it gets slower. No idea why, if I don't soft reset, after a bit it can't even scroll the program list, with nothing running.

pcarvalho's page is a bit confusing for me vs other roms, plus it has m2d. I think maybe Polaris is already too slow to run WM6.5? Maybe I should stick with official 6.1 ROM ?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pcarvalho:
hi, my page is very easy...

rom version are on topic title...those are main branches i present...just download it...follow flash procedures...enjoy...

having m2d doesn't make a rom any faster/slower then its supposed to be (unless you activate that plugin)...i personaly haven't found any rom (wm6.5) that is "faster" then mine, cause all of us have same base...considering mine is fully loaded with ported stuff, it can still run as fast as any other out there, most are just suffering from a simple placebo effect...

hope you find what suits you best...

cheers
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] retsam88:
Ha ha ha ah.

Your page is 'very' easy?

It is so confusing, full of useless information and unorganized.

Don't take this personally, but no, your ROM page is a bit of clusterf*
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pcarvalho:
none taken...but you must be talking about the full thread my friend...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pinkstuff:
good so far

The roms are all good i have flashed them all and my phone flies like i have winmo 6.1 look the truth is we all have winmo 6.5 now which was never ever gonna see the light of day on our old polaris phones, now we have the pretty touchflo which only shipped with the guide polaris so we are all living sweet and it was all how much okay so Thank you very much to all the cooks. THANK YOU..

A HTC Leo type rom would be the cherry o top though
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cdrugo:
Where is the link for download HTC Leo type please?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Hi,

When i had a Diamond I used to use Brians themes. I really liked his system font, so i decided to update it for the HD2 and WM6.5.x.

Credit goes to bilbobrian for the original Idea!! - Thanks Muchly!!

This will not work on WM6.1, the fonts are named differently!

This will change the font of:

Manila

Pin Entry Pad

HTC Messaging

Taskbar (Top (Second Screenshot) & Bottom)

Total Commander

Windows Mobile Menus

Start Menu

Titanium Plugin (First Screenshot)

USB To PC Pop Up

Comm Manager

"Press & Hold" Symbols on the HTC Touch Input

System Popups

S2U2 Pin Entry Pad

(And More!!!)

UPDATE:

25/2/2010: Brians SYS_Font MEdt 25210.cab

Now it changes HTC Touch Input Fully

Fully Working with Opera (Symbols Fixed)

Fixed ALL other font issues!!!

Requests - How To:

How the requests work:

If I have the time to make CABs, I will BUT my work comes first and these are the rules:

1: Suggest And PROVIDE the font in your post

2: I will Post a CAB if i have time to fulfill the request

3: When you install, post a screenshot of the Font installed ON THE POST WHERE YOU ADDED THE FONT.

4: I will add the CAB to the first post along with a link to your screenshot.

I think this is fair since I cannot screenshot all the fonts!

Fulfilled Requests:

(These still need tweaking, but they work ok)

Mystic DejaVuSans.cab - Screenshot

Mystic SegoeUI.cab - Screenshot

Enjoy

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zorbakun:
Excellent work mate, just what i was missing, keep it up! :)

Well if you are taking requests, can you kindly provide a cab for "DejaVu Sans" font (attached below), i like it a lot and it supports international characters, which i need most. thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Hi! That looks very cook. Your work is much appreciated!

For my everyday use I prefer something classic - so could you PLEEEASE make a CAB for ordinary Segoe UI? That would be very very nice! :D

One question: do your CABs change also the Manila-font that you're obviously not using though?

BIG fat THX in advance!!!

great work.

i like this front it's awesome
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gfreek:
I used to love using this font on my old Touch HD, it looks so cool!!:)

However a word of caution guys as much as I like this font, it wasn't so practical when it came to using on opera browser the font was not so reader friendly with most website!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Mystic DejaVuSans.cab

Yes it should change manila!

Mystic SegoeUI.cab

There you go.

Please can you both provide a screenshot of the font and attach it to the post you requested the font on. (I cannot keep installing loads of fonts for screenies so please provide)

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Glad you both like it!!

I agree sometimes the font is abit hard to read, but it looks so cool!!

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kostasalfa:
WOW! Good job!! Do all the fonts have problem with other languages??

I tried the first cab and had problems with greek characters apearing as squares..:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] riz157:
mg great work thanks. the only problem is internet not able to read anything can this be fixed so that interndt is viewed in different font?love the fonts tho
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
How do i get the new font to reflect in the HTCMenus? it looks fine when choosing the default WM Menus, but the "in program" menu fonts used by HTCMenus doesn't pick the new font up. e.g. Open Resco explorer, select menu and the HTCMenu that will pop-up is not using the new font, or even the old font but something like courier new (monotype). I'll take a screenshot and attach in a bit.

Segoe UI

Courier New

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Hi,

Unfortunately, i have only tryed this with English Char support. If you can provide me with a font that you like with greek Char support I can see the differences and whether I can update the fonts to support.

If not, i will only be able to use fonts that contain support for the language that you can provide me.

MG

I think i know which the internet fonts are, I will try making one that has the font i have but uses a standard one like Tahoma for internet.

(im not saying that i will get it working 100% but ill have a go.)

MG

@both: Im currently traveling to Scotland i should be arriving there this evening, so once i unpack, ill relax and look at this for you!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I like to have the Zune font on my device, so I can get a taste of what WM 7 will look like :) . Does anybody have that font?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
That would be cool! I think they use a modified Segoe UI or Segoe UI Condensed on the Zune...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
AH! Mystic did the Segoe font already, is that one different from the UI version you think?

EDIT: I saw that it is the UI version that he did. I give that one a try!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
I think I found the font... someone extracted it using Restorator and posted it on esnips... its based on Segoe and its called, wait for it, wait for it... TADA... Zegoe... (go figure...)

I have the file but I'm not sure I can post it here so I will err on the side of caution till someone says its ok...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
Lemme know if it works for you... I had to use WM default menus instead of HTC Menus since application menus (aside from Manila of course) used the font in the screenshot above...

What ROM are you currently on?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Zegoe? lol. Post it as zune-like fonts. I think nobody has a problem with that :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
Here you go...

Zune Like Fonts...

http://www.esnips.com/doc/a918f708-6305-40fe-b567-34175c6144da/Zegoe-UI

Maybe MysticGenius can whip up a cab that will enable this font for all application menus as well. I prefer HTC Menus over WM Default. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Thanks. BTW the problem with the fonts you described above, is something that is caused by the new 2.07 and 2.09 based tmous roms. I think they did install a whole new range of fonts called ascsan.tff ascser.tff and ascmon.tff. (do a search with resco file explorer on *.tff).

BTW I have copied the times new roman font to my device to use it with the Freda ebook reader. When I install the SergoeUI font Mystic did, I get the times new roman font in some parts of Sense (wheater, shortcut texts etc). Very weird.

I will get dirty to get this problem fixed. I like custom fonts. I had the nokia font on my device and that really looked cool. I don't use it anymore because it also changed some menu fonts to the ugly courier font.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
I have no cab for courier New i posted DejaVuSans.

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
The font problem, as appleflap mentioned, only happened to ROMs that I used that are based on 2.07 and 2.09 when I was on 2.05 and below I could use custom fonts across all applications.

The courier new is probably one of the new fonts that come with 2.07 and 2.09...

Will check and update here so those who wish to use custom fonts can do so in 2.07 and 2.09

Thanks for your Font cabs... Will the Zegoe ones I attached suffice, btw?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4D3:
Hi,

I cannot download the font without installing software, can you upload here or RS?

this is an interesting font issue, but i dont think it will be a hard one to fix.

as appleflap said, we need to search for .ttf, then get a completely obvious font, maybe a script style font, so you will definitely see the font when applied.

and systematically replace the system fonts and see what changes, i have just searched and there is 21 ttf files, and i already use 6 of them. so this leaves 15 "Unknown" fonts:

ascmon.ttf
ascmonb.ttf
ascmonbi.ttf
ascmoni.ttf
ascsan.ttf
ascsanb.ttf
ascsanbi.ttf
ascsani.ttf
ascser.ttf
ascserb.ttf
ascserbi.ttf
ascseri.ttf
sorts.ttf
symbol.ttf
wingdings.ttf

there is the "ascmon" set, and the "ascsan" set and 3 other files.

Hope this is a good start, i cannot start replacing fonts not as i am travelling, but i hope appleflap or pongster could maybe make a start?

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Hi! Thank you very much for your help!! Segoe UI works good - see the attached screens. The only (little) Problem is the fact that the font seems to be bit too big so that in some cases e.g. the 'g' is cut on the bottom. If it had a smaller dpi-value it would look even better, I guess.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
A minor breakthrough...

Ok will upload fonts here in a bit...

Meanwhile I searched for .ttf's in the \Windows dir and I found a "cour.ttf"... I assumed that this is installed by default by 2.07 and 2.09 for the ebook reader (well its not on 2.09 but it means they will probably add it back since the main epub font is courier new... your guess is as good as mine)

So I further assumed that All other applications are choosing cour.ttf by default when applying Manila or HTC Menus....

I renamed cour.ttf to zcour.ttf and rebooted...

et voila... All applications are now using the default Sense font (Helvetica Neue OTS) and NOT Courier New!

1 down, 1 to go... now I need to find out which of your fonts is the actual Segoe UI used by Manila so I can rename that and somehow force all apps that use HTC Menus to use it!

Zegoe-like :) (doesn't look too good on my desktop, Win7, but hopefully it gives us the "Zune" look on our mobiles...)

View attachment 283908
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
Which of the fonts are the actual Segoe UI that you used for Manila Menus? I ask because maybe I can rename this to cour.ttf and have that be applied by all applications. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] orzech.miron:
MysticGenius, can you tell me how to get this... i dont exactly know what is the name of this part :P look a the image :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
That's Windows Phone 6.5.x - can get it by flashing a custom ROM. But here's definitely not the right forum for that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] orzech.miron:
i know that is wm 6.5.x... i have miri rom 6.5.x but i want this theme (is this correct nam for that? :P )

But ok, i didnt say it correct :|
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Now that's weird, because the cour.tff file is actual replaced by the cabs mysticgenius provided. But thanks, I think we are one step closer to a solution.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
i think so... now all my Manila menus are back to the default (all apps menus, manila menus, photos menus, etc.) while my start menu and applications use Segoe UI... much better now but I'd still like to change everything to one font...

when you take out your Times New Roman or rename it, do you get the Segoe UI font system wide?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I couldn't take out the Times New Roman font but I could rename it :confused: (that is, after i renamed the cour.tff font-file.)

Anyway, I'm back to default manila. Now, let's solve this little problem
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dragonkaiser:
can u make a cab with this one ?

i allready install it in my phone by replacing .ttf in windows folder (don't know how to make a cab). It look nice (for me) so I thought to share it and ask if you can make a cab with it ?? :D

i have every thing in one font (windows and manila) to do so i rename zetkon in: cour, HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin, HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman, HelveticaNeueOTS, tahoma, tahomabd.

and voilà .....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
I also can't seem to delete any system fonts, even the ones I've renamed... they remain "locked or in use by another process"... tricky, tricky...

How do we delete these files so we can start fresh? I am also back to default Manila fonts in all menus system wide... Start menu and App fonts are Segoe UI...:cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I've replaced all asc....tff files with the (same) Segoe files (pffff, dull work :) ) but no luck. I attached a zip with the fonts, so if you want you can play with it.

The problem is where the heck does the system get the old manila font from. All the font-files are replaced now on my system (except sorts, wingdings and symbol, but those files contain all just symbols, so they can be neglected)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
Thanks. so you still DONT have Segoe UI systemwide? wow! this is tougher than we probably thought...

MysticGenius may have some ideas... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
How do I replace the asc...ttf files if they somehow claim to be "locked by another process"?

What File Manager do you use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yeah, we need some mystic powers here :D
