i've been working with the 1.7 version for the last day without any big issue. very stable, fast and responsive... only minor issue found is that sometimes the dialer disappears but found a workaround to make it appear if i just shift it to landscape and back to portrait... if someone has a way to fix it, plesae let me know. can live with it though. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
I have tried various ROMs with builds 23544 and 23545 and they are both very stable and fast.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
Maesus,

Thanks; 1.7 is another excellent ROM. But how do I switch off the tone when using the Qwerty keyboard. First time encountering this tone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Goto Settings, Personal, Input, select Touch Input and click Options, "off" Typing sound.

By default this shouldn't be on. You must have done something else your side. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Car kit mode... I removed it completely from my ROM because other than T-mobile, I am not sure if other network can utilize it as in Car Kit mode it calls some specific apps. If the shortcuts / apps can be customized then I may put it back again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
Thanks. I must have selected this option in haste confusing it with another touch input setting. My apologies.

BTW, I have been using this ROM for a few hours, testing out all my applications. No problems so far; fantastic ROM. Will keep it for the weekend; driving up to KL tomorrow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
mmm... do you know what it's for then? What does my provider (I am on T-mobile actually) different when the device is in car kit mode? I thought it had to do with a special set of sound levels or different handling of the UI (bigger screen, louder)...

Do you have any idea why my g-profile isn't working whilst it was working on all your other roms (and all others)?

g-profile is a great app and I can't really do without.

If you're about to release 1.8 I may keep 1.7 on my device for another day. Otherwise I'm going back to smaberg's latest (had to hard-reset that one to revice after I used it for a while)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
Maesus,

I've been using 1.7 for a couple of days now and I have make an compliment for the speed upgrades and battery life. It is a big improvement since 1.6.

I have found one issue, but don't know for sure if it is me or a ROM issue.

The GPS finds sattelites slower then previous ROM's. I have flashed it using MTTY and flashed it back to compare with 1.6. With 1.6 it finds its location very fast again, switched it back to 1.7 and again slower.

With 1.6 time before it has a location is about 3-5 seconds.

With 1.7 time before it has a locations is about 10 seconds.

It's a not very big issue, because it still can locate itself and precision looks like it's exactly the same, just the startup is slightly slower.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fizzle101:
thanks for the amazing Leo V1.7 rom. but is there any way to change the send key rotation to rotate left instead of right? thanks

Almost Complete CHS ROM

hi there,

This ROM is really one of its kind.... :)

Latest OS Build...

Manila Max, ClearRAM everything coming together and all WORKING!!

Best of all.. the Ameba Settings ensuring all apps are properly closed..is in

No Music Tab delay issues..... Really one of the Best WWW+CHS ROMs around...

I would like to feedback that the Dialpad fix should be cooked in... to avoid the diapad going missing :)

Press and Hold "call" button to be able to rotate left..

Skyfire should be removed....

"Music" shortcut is missing in Multimedia

Remote Desktop Mobile should be allowed to rotate.

Excellent Work!!!

the tones were on after i flashed this morning

Threaded View for Email

Hi There,

Anyone knows how to make the Email in Threaded view?

for this ROM?

regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
frater, that car-kit-mode takes the assumption of user might hook up the phone to car dashboard and you can tap on the screen easily while driving. It is a landscape UI with some essential shortcuts to Phone (call or pick-up call), GPS, and others I cannot remember. Most of the apps didn't work at my place and most apps related require data connection. And I don't know how to customize it so it turned out quite useless.

I have tried G-Profile on V1.7 and it works. No idea why you got it bad there.

Even with 1.8 released, you still need to hard reset or run the Task 29 command, right? :D

Thanks for pointing that out and very interesting to know. But I have totally no idea why. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Yes. Settings -> Personal -> Button, assign the button to "Rotate Screen" (the one with .exe) instead of "<Rotate Screen>".

Please let me know the results as I cannot be 100% sure if this works with your ROM. There might be some other tweaks (registry) required.

Thank you very much! I'll include Dialpad fix on next build.

Rotate left can be realizable. See the above paragraph. The reason I make it rotate right manually because auto-rotation (can be set by BsB Tweak) would rotate left. Auto-rotate - LEFT; manual-rotate - RIGHT.

I use Skyfire a lot to view Flash contents, I will keep it.

"Music" tab is part of HTC Sense. If HTC Sense is disabled, the link wouldn't work anymore.

No problem in getting remote desktop to rotate. :D

That's weird... hmm..

Even though 23xxx reported to have email threaded view, I've never had seen it and don't know how it looked like...

Enjoy your trip to KL. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fizzle101:
Yes, that did the trick. thanks a lot.

When the dial pad gets fixed then this will be my number one rom.

Again thanks for your hard work. your rom is truely amazing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fizzle101:
just one request. on the next release can you give us option for different themes or do you know how we can change the theme to our liking? thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] moisesz:
rename the background file you'd like to use to "MaxBackground.jpg" and copy it to windows folder using recoexplorer or total commander...restart sense and you are good to go. enjoy!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bigtom5000:
WOW

I must say - flashed so many roms, but yours AWESOME!!! So many enhancements & tweaks & stuff!!! And it still runs so fast! I'm really impressed! GREAT JOB BRO!!!

Skyfire and HTTPS Sites

Hi there,

Anyone have issues accessing HTTPS sites using Skyfire..?

I'm really impressed with how fast skyfire loads pages... but it does not seem to load https sites.....

Anyone has issues with this? or has a workaround?

regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
hi fychan,

I don't recommend using skyfire for HTTPS. I could be wrong on this but I suspect the way Skyfire works is actually through a proxy server. This proxy server is the one that loads all the Flash contents along with other normal html stuffs, compress to "Skyfire" proprietary format and sends over to your phone's Skyfire to display it out. This is how Skyfire can achieve faster speed than other normal browsers.

The same thing would happen if you use HTTPS for your secured information. Whether the Skyfire datastream is encoded, encrypted, I don't know. Maybe Skyfire thinks it is a safe bet not to send any secured information over its network is better.

uploading V1.8 today... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dacesilian:
Are you going to save it to SVN?: )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
No, I can't. Not that I don't want to, I just can't reach your SVN even though you tried to get it through port:80. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dacesilian:
Through port 80 it should work:( If you want to, we can debug it (what error does it write) and find working way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
ArkSwitch doesn't like CleanRAM.

On Version 1.8, if you hit CleanRAM and the phone isn't as responding as before, it is due to CleanRAM trying to take down ArkSwitch, which ArkSwitch doesn't like it.

Please add ArkSwitch.exe in the exception list in CleanRAM.

If you don't know how to do it, you can always use the cab attached here.

Also attached is the reg dump file of CleanRAM with ArkSwitch excluded.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
oh not arkswitch again,:(cant turn off the phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
I was using V1.7 in Spore and it was excellent. When I was on roaming in Msia, the WiFi icon appeared on the top task bar even though WiFi was not on. When WiFi was switched on, there were 2 WiFi icons. Not a big problem as it did not affect any functions of the HD2. Now downloading V1.8
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
I don't have this problem with my ROM. At most of the time, ArkSwitch does not consume any CPU power at all unless you use it.

If more people having problem with ArkSwitch, I'll consider switch back to Windows Task Manager. By then please don't complain about the finger-friendliness of Task Manager. :D

The 2nd WiFi icon hints you that there are other WiFi networks available. As long as you setup and connected to one WiFi, the 2nd WiFi icon will disappear. The WiFi might have been accidentally turned on unnoticed. Please try V1.8 and see if this problem still exists.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kramerty88:
Arkswitch works perfectly here, with the cab installed though. Without it gave some problems, but the fix works great!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ionrage:
Great ROM! Just luv it. Using 1.7 now and can't seem to see any notifications of new messages, emails of missed calls on the lock screen. I believe some have seen this as well. Any idea if this is resolved in 1.8? Also is the dialerpad fix incorporated in 1.8 or will that be in the next upcoming version? BTW, is it worth upgrading to 1.8 from 1.7 or should I wait for the next one? Thanks!!! Great work man!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
ionrage, yes in 1.8 all these SMS, miss call notifications are back, at least on my phone. :) 1.8 is a good build, the only glitch I have identified is ArkSwitch + CleanRAM, which the cab fixed it. This is only on V1.8 Max. The Cookie edition will have this fixed inside.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ionrage:
Okie doke. Downloading 1.8. Thanks! BTW is dialerpad fix cooked in?

1.8

What do you mean by removed Enterprise ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
g-profile is again not working in 1.8 like it wasn't in 1.7.

after loading smaberg's rom it works....

it's unable to change the profile...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
frater, tell me what and how you did. I want to reproduce your problem here with my ROM, although I never really used g-profile before. Which version of G-Profile, change from what profile to what profile etc... I just got the V1.1 G-Profile, installed, and added 2 simple profiles; then use Profile QuickSwitch, it can change the profiles properly. I need to know exactly your profile settings so I can copy exact your settings here, including the apps that you want to open or close along with the profile. If you're not comfortable posting here, you can PM me.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Yes, cooked in. :D Will update the change log again. Missed out this important one.

Removed IPSEC, L2TP, WINSCARD support. If you don't use this on your PC or laptop, you won't use this on your phone either. :D

My compliments to the chef!

Just wanted to say thanks to you 'Maesus' for this tasty Rom!

Been digesting other chefs yummy Rom's for a while, but fancied a change and v1.8 is now my first 'Maesus' Rom. I must say, I'm liking it so far (4 hour usage)! [^_^]

Please help!!

Hi all

Flashed from rom 1.43.110.2

radio was 2.04.50.22_2

put HSPL on my phone

flahsed using mtty to Maesus 24547

and upgraded radio to 2.07

all went well and then my phone restarted but when it restarts on its own it gets stuck on the balck screen with a pink circled arrow

if i hard reset it goes through the whole process again saying please wait and all looks great and then when it restarts it gets stuck on the same screen

the exact same thing happened when i tried flashing to Energy ROM

any help would be great before i go back to my 1.43 rom which i was getting about 8-10hrs out of and that is the reason why i flashed in the 1st place!!

thanks all
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] frater:
After factory-reset g-profile gets installed because it's installation is in /storage card/autoinstall

I then start it and create the default profile. Then I import the profile I saved on my storage card. Finally I do a soft-reset.

I'm doing this almost every day (loading a new rom) and it always works. Just not with 1.7 and 1.8. re-installing doesn't help either.

I forgot my USB-cable at work today, so I can't send you my settings.

Loading an old settings-file results to the same. I'm having this only with your ROM.

I do like your ROM and noticed you included the bluetooth toggle ;-)

The imdb link should work now, btw.

PS... What's the deal with unlocking the device? It pops up when I press the home key and then it immediately disappears again. Only if I repeatedly press home, the screen stays...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Thanks and hope my ROM becomes your regular daily ROM as well. :D

Please upgrade to Radio 2.08. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
It sounds to be something in your saved/backup profile(s) that specifically doesn't work well with my ROM. If I could duplicate your issue here with my phone, then it's easier for me to find out what's wrong with it... could I be missing any files or registry settings etc.

You can put your imdb in /storage card/autoinstall. :D

OK, stubborn lockscreen? When you press the Home key at Lockscreen, make sure the top part of the phone is not covered by anything. That is due to Proximity Locker. The Proximity locker is only active at Lockscreen. This helps a lot and ensure your phone is always in Suspend mode when you put inside a pouch or pocket.

How to restore start menu icons original layout? (3 big icon 1 row)

Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Chrisuk80:
My bad

I installed radio 2.08 and all seems to be working

i have read sooooo many posts on this site (which is an amazing site) that i was sure it said to have radio 2.07 to enable 512 ram

anyway, so far all works great

except i clicked the clear ram and since that my phone is slow, i mean like click a button and wait slow!!

is this because all the programs that are in RAM to make them load fast are not cleared out but why would that make the phone and menus slow!!

excellent ROM, love it, will be keeping it on

congrats on the really great work :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
Hi s7or4x,

I just pulled out the 2 files

Please install this.

Using Resco Task Manager

Hi There,

I'm actually not a fan of ArkSwitch... :)

As its not so finger friendly....hehe

WorldCard Mobile CAB

Hi There,

Anyone knows where to get the worldCard Mobile cab that comes original with the HD2?

Keyboard/Typing

Stupid question, but is there an easy way to remove/uninstall the CHS keyboard and also custom the keyboard. I'm from London and only need English alphabet/numerics.

Pre-defined short-cuts to self-created text would nice too! [^_^]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
hello fychan,

start menu background is "stretch" to full screen, rather than "split". You can try to take a 800x800 size image as background. I think it might help.

input taken, ArkSwitch will be gone next build. :D How about Showcase? I dropped it long time ago because it's not working well.But not sure about now.

You can extract the cab from the original HD2 ROM. save it somewhere before u flash a new ROM. Or you can search in the threads here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
hi fazz. There's no stupid question. :) but actually hard question this is. Sorry to say it's not possible to remove CHS keyboard as it's built in the ROM. You may install WWE only IME keyboard cab, but I cannot assure it will work well. You can try.

Key. Board. Ing.

Thanks Maesus, I think I might try and mess it up if need be because I'm thinking of installing the CoOkie version of your Rom... maybe. Either way, I'll see what happens and if nothing works, I'll install another keyboard like Finger thingy etc.

Call me blind, but I miss being able to write on the screen (old school stylus user) and after seeing the very KooL transcriber box pop up for Chinese text, I'm jealous. I so wish I could write in Chinese now and make real use of it!

Hmm... so, this has me thinking... is this transcriber input box available in English? I'm bothered by it too, because when I look up a contact for instance, I'm stuck with the old school numeric keypad... 1=ABC 2=DEF etc. Not fast at all. [-_-]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] s_john8686:
It happens to me on the earlier ver 1.6 max, when I went over to Singapore the Wifi icon appeared on the top bar. I tried so many times to disable it but no success. Then I only to realise that this "wifi" icon is replacing the "roaming" icon, ie. when you roam to another country normally there is an icon to show up in the top bar and in this case (ver 1.6 max) it takes on the Wifi icon.

So if you turn on the real wifi, there will be 2 wifi icons on the top bar :eek: Not a big issue though, just make us worry a little :D To me I can survive with that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
You are absolutely correct; I forgot about the roaming icon. Yes, it seems the WiFi icon has replaced the Roaming icon.

(Edit: I forgot to thank and compliment Maesus for the improvements made to reduce the bootup & installation time (after ROM flash), as well as the higher program storage space now.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
no, unfortunately this transcriber is only available for WWE+CHS. I'll try to build a WWE-only test ROM and see if I can add transcriber in. The old-school numeric keypad at contact is a "bug", or "feature" of CHS IME only! WWE and even CHT IME doesn't have it! Must be a "bug", but a welcomed one. :D No idea how to make it back to normal "keyboard".

wow, I guess my Taskbar skin is not a complete one. I am using this taskbar. Can you guys reply to his thread and see if anything can help?

Thanks jchoong for your support! I'll always try to improve the user experience of my ROM. :o

Task Manager and Registry Editors

Personally I felt the ROM is too overwhelmed by System Tools and duplicates..

With Resco Explorer + Resco Registry + Resco Task Manager its sufficient since they are such fantastically finger friendly apps...

Hence, with that it makes the following apps totally redundant:

1) Total Commander

2) ArkSwitch

3) Task Manager

4) PHM Registry Editor

Hopefully the above can be removed to save some bytes...heheh

Of course... there are some guys out there still prefers these free apps ;)

Anyway not too big a problem... still love this rom...
