[Omnia II General] MonkeyMHz:
Hey, I'm going to be getting my Omnia II tonight and I have a few questions that would be great if you guys could help clear up.

New GUI/UI's without having to flash ROM?

Im afraid I would brick the phone, is there ways to get a GUI without flashing ROM? If not how dangerous is flashing?

What exactly is ROM?

I know you have 512MB of it on the Omnia II and that it stores programs. But can I install apps outside of ROM say on the 8GB storage or a SD card that you put in?...

Free Memory Problems?

Alot of people say theres not much free RAM on the Omnia 2 making multitasking almost impossible. Is this true, is there a way to free up more while keeping a decent looking GUI?... And why is so much reserved?

Additional Help:

Were can I get a Free GPS program for Omnia II that doesn't use Data Plans or induce any extra costs?

How do I install games in general, like Starcraft Brood War?

How do I get started developing for the Omnia II/Windows Mobile 6.5 (im familiar with C#, C++, .NET, XNA)?

Is there any safe, easy tweaks that I should know about for the Omnia II?

Thank you very much!

Hi

all of a sudden my camera has vanished.

touchflo 3d shows the camera tab but the icon in the tab does not work.

the camera shortcut no longer exists in programs and is not an option to add to the start menu either.

it's gone.......

"Camera" is still in the windows file but nothing happens when i tap it.

anything that uses the camera just doesn't do anything when i tap the relevant "camera" button.

I am using the newest stock ROM from HTC and have just reflashed it to make sure that's OK.

It's just gone?!?!

help very much appreciated.

thanks

don
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Hi donster22,

Please try the following:

Download and install Advanced Configuration Tool

Open the program after installing to your PDA, and try changing one of the camera settings

Encode photos in portrait mode

to no and hopefully this will enable your camera again.

Perform a Soft Reset and then press the camera button a few times and hope it works.

Have you tried a Hard Reset?

Regards.
[Touch HD General] donster22:
thanks but no joy. tried the app etc but no change.

i have hard reset and reflashed the ROM but still no camera....

very frustrating. it was there yesterday but today nothing.

help.............? :confused:
[Touch HD General] 2dy:
i had that problem also

sometime it worked sometimes not, and even when it worked it didn't do well( no focus and errors)

after a while my screen stoped working (just like the camera)

they had to change the motherboard, atleast that was writen on the warranty

i think maybe u have the same problem
[Touch HD General] donster22:
HTC UK Service seem to be great. Rang them about this yesterday and they are collecting the phone this morning.

Fingers crossed they can fix it!

Worth noting that the phone had also started turning itself off randomly and not able to turn back on until the battery had been removed for 30 minutes...?!
[Touch HD General] donster22:
phone back. new motherboard, camera and front screen - was there anything else to change? very impressed with the htc service.
[General Questions and Answers] Aafi-rocks:
Hi guys,

Is there a System restore utility for Windows mobile.. like the one we have for Windows PC.

It would be really usefull as we all keep xperimenting with our phones..

System restore would be better than Hard Reset..
[General Questions and Answers] stylez:
Moved as not software release.

SPB Backup\Sprite Backup you will still have to hard reset but will get you back to current state.

How To Install?

Change Icons threw Icon Changer Software

Use one of this programs:

01. JWMD Icon Changer

Or

02. Change Start Menu Icons (CSMI)

I prefer The first one "Icon Changer".

This two Programs let you change icons, for Programs in Start Menu. After you change Icons in Start Menu, the Icons gonna also change in the quick links in Manila Home Tab.

JWMD Icon Changer V2.6b for Windows Mobile 6.5

Changing the Icon:

-long press on an item to popup the context menu and click Change Icon. A picture browser will show up for you to browse for an PNG image.

System Requirements:

- Must have .NET 3.5 Compact Framework Installed

- Windows Mobile 6.5

Features:

- Changing/Removing the Icon

- Can create New Folder

- Saving/Loading Themes

- Sorting Start Menu Programs

- Register shortcut files

- Changing the Animated Bootup Screen (the 2nd bootup screen)

- Chaging Microsoft Bootup Screen (the 3rd bootup screen)

Change Start Menu Icons (CSMI)

This program lets you change icons for programs in start menu and then, of course, in the quick links on the home screen. You can associate any PNG image (with transparency also) to any program in start menu: works both for applications AND folders. You can also reset* the original icons if you wish.

Change Icons threw Registry Editor

01. Open Registry Editor and go to HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start.

02. Inside HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start we'll look for a key with the exact name as your shortcut, in our case Google Maps.lnk (full path: HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\GoogleMaps.lnk).

04. Change the value of Icon string to "\Program Files\GoogleMaps\icon.png" (which is our example case, but paths and icon file names can vary according to your liking).

06. Prefer clearing HTC Sense's icon cache.

07. Go to your Device's \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher Folder and delete all the *.bmg files inside. These are icon caches that will be recreated upon next boot.

08. Restart
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dinik:
Troubleshooting Help!

If some Icons still the same after Restart?

01. Prefer clearing HTC Sense's icon cache.

Go to your Device's \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher Folder and delete all the *.bmg files inside. These are icon caches that will be recreated upon next boot.

03. Delete All Old Icons from the Quick Links Menu in Manila.

04. Restart

If by clearing HTC Sense's icon cache, the Icons still doesn't change?

01. If you try to use a custom icon which have the same filename of one of the images found in \Windows then Manila will always load that original instead of your customized one!

In order to easily fix the problem, just rename your icon .png (Not that one in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher).

02. Delete All Old Icons from the Quick Links Menu in Manila.

03. Restart

04. And change it again in Icon Changer (To the renamed .png file).

P.S.: This bug affects ONLY manila, therefore in the start menu everything will look fine BUT in the Home Screen you will always have the original icon!

05. Restart

If the Icon don't shows up in Icon Changer, so you cant change it from there?

01. Go to \Windows\Start Menu.

02. Duplicate (Copy & Paste) your .lnk (that don't shows up in IC).

03. Open again Icon Changer. The Icon now should be viewable.

04. Change the Icon.

05. Go again to \Windows\Start Menu.

06. Delete your Original .lnk and rename Your New .lnk to what you whant.

07. Restart

You may want to add a note on how to get rid of the vibration since you have Showcase in your rom. I haven't tested your rom, but it probably vibrates when you press on either of the lower corners of the screen (Start and Close buttons).

I just checked out the screenshots at ppcgeeks and I have to say, I like the icons that you are using. Did you cook them in the rom or are they included in the "Icon Activator' cab?

One last thing, there really is no need to flash to the latest stock prior to flashing a rom. The important part is to have the device unlocked.

Other than that, welcome to the forum :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
alright thank you for the pointers :) and the icons are cooked into the rom but you need the icon activator to add the registry keys to be able to see them. I didn't want to overwrite the stock icons in case someone doesn't like the new icons.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
alright everyone. I would like to know what you would like to see in the next update. Be it applications, icons, anything let me know
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codf4ther:
I've been using your rom regularly for the last few days and I really like it. Here are my suggestions (in order of priority)

#1) Use a sys from the 23XXX series (Outlook view by threads option)

#2) Set your alternate keyboard to be the default (default MS keyboard sucks)

#3) Total Commander

#4) Long Press End Key from Mega

#5) Remove Showcase (it conflicts with some package I'm installing...let the user install whatever TM they want)

#6) HTC Menus?

The following I add by cab after flashing so are not such big deal, but you might want to look into them. If you need links to any of these let me know and I'll send it over. One option would be to add XDA_UC to the rom so we can just throw these cabs in a folder after a flash.

#7) Mega Bluetooth Manager (BT systray icon)

#8) 4 column start menu

#9) EzInput 2.1 from Mega

#10) MS Voice Command

#11) Livven SimpleGloss themes (with Hero options)

#12) Advanced Config 3.3

#13) Titanium Weather plugin

#11) Update MS MyPhone to 1.5.2410

#12) Mortscript

#13) ArcSwitch Task Manager
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
do you happen to have a cab for htc menus that works with wm6.5.3?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codf4ther:
I do not. I tried several from Rhodium but they wouldn't work. I believe vin was using the OEM from Mega on his last roms.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
alright ill give it a little searching first. If I dont add it in next update it will come.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] btong:
Would there be any problems tethering with Bell with this release? ie will i be charged?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codf4ther:
Thanks

I haven't had a chance to flash this rom yet, but I wanted to reach out and say thanks for being so responsive to things I put on that wish list last week.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
no problem, the new rom is a real treat and it has been the most downloaded version. Also if anyone you like to commit on it, don't be afraid:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
If you don't have internet service, you will not be able to. However, if you do have a data plan (make sure it is unlimited), you should have no problems doing this. Will you be charged? More than likely unless you have unlimited data.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
sorry I missed your post. but ya egzthunder is right if you have unlimited data plan or mobile browser as many companies say you will be in the clear.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
One point that I forgot to clarify. Many companies will be able to tell if you are tethering based on the type of usage that you are getting (keep in mind that most of them can actually see what you are doing online), so there is a chance that you will get charged if you are trying to tether without the plan add-on.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
if your with bell your safe for sure. I tether without being charged all the time:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] btong:
Perfect, that's all I need to know. I am with Bell with the $10 unlimited browsing. Thanks you so much, great rom!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
please let me know what you guys think of this rom:)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codf4ther:
I'm not a big fan of the boot screen. I'm not sure why cooks feel the need to customize it. Change the welcomehead.96.png image if you want to personalize things, that way people can easily change it out if they don't like it.

I can't get some of my usual cabs to install without losing start menu items. I'm guessing its the cab I use for 4 icon wide start menu, but I'm not sure. I'm doing a hard reset to see if I can find it. The icon set you use looks great, but man its taking me forever to find things. I guess I was just hardwired visually to the old icons.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] antinerd:
...so, does your ROM have the tether-safe hack, like Nfsfan's and Vin's ROM's? Or does Bell just not check the data use with the Unlimited Mobile Browser?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
i have never heard of this tether safe hack. internet sharing just borrows the phones Internet connection so the company only see it as your cellphone is on the net. However, if you download too much they might have reason to look into you.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Now I get it... You are talking about Titanium and more than likely you are referring to Program Launcher. You may need to redefine the shortcuts in there since it is very likely that the shortcuts for calculator and the programs that you cannot get to work have their exes or lnk located in a different folder. CHome Editor should give you the tools you need to re-define these. Good luck.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
thats correct:) I dont have htc calculator as well:P
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
wow... that was a long shot :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dhwagner:

I just flashed to this rom and my data connection wont connect

I'm with bell so i'm assuming i need to set up the connection. any ideas on how?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Run the provisioning cab if you haven't done so already. Then go into connections and ensure that the connection that was created has the right username and password. Finally, check under EPST and ensure that the username and password in there are correct too.

I like the idea of a barebone rom. I don't have a or use data on my phone. I need:

3. I use titanium (it can show outlook tasks) but I like manila

4. I like utlities that make changes to my phone easy (CHome editor)

5. Pim Backup - a must

5. calculator

5. games are ok

6. a list or separate zip of other software would be nice.

bare bones added let me know what you guys think:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Does_It_Matter:
For your barebones version, is there a way to tweak RAM usage to increase the speed?

The 6.00 (last build, not the 5/20 23566 build) was slowing down on my vogue and requiring reboots.

I flashed back to NFSFan's 6.1 rom - that sucker is fast and stable for days.

I'm like previous poster - I don't do much, maybe a random game, phone calls, and SMS.

Rarely do much internet surfing and I might fire up Google Maps, but thats about it.

Main thing about NFSFan's is how snappy and quick it runs.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
one reason for that could be that NFSFAN was not running the new 6.5.5 roms, but i also played with my pagepool a bit which if i set it right will speed up some things. Do you remember the app you were trying to use that caused the phone to be sluggish?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Does_It_Matter:
No special apps at all, I always had it on the Manila screen

I think that's what its called.

Not the Windows home screen.

seemed to be slow coming out of sleep mode, slow getting into the dialer.

I have sprint, so always had to load the sprint dcd cab.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] brandonledski:
hmm...and your running B-rom V6 or the barebones version?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Does_It_Matter:
Running the V6 - not the newest 23566 build, but the one just prior.

I was running it... flashed it back to NFSFans 6.1 Sprint rom currently.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] r3ddrag0nx:
question: my phone reads storage memory is critically low. if storage memory is not increased, other programs may not be able to start. use file explorer to delete files that are no longer needed or move some files to a storage card.

my problem is that the phone freezes right after it displays this critical message. i cannot press ok and everytime i reset, the message pops up again. is there some way i can get the phone to boot up equivalent to safe mode in windows so i can delete some files? i do not want to lose all my contacts again ^^''.

any suggestions would be appreciated

UPDATE: activesync worked while it was frozen and i managed to free up a meg of space. good enough, heh. however, i do not want it to happen again. i have this file: cprog.log that's about 80mb? which i cannot delete (sharing violation) located in the DebLogger. is there someway to remove this?

can i delete such files as facebook.vol, cemail.vol, etc?

what else can i delete?

can i make it so msn msgs, txt msgs, emails, attachments are saved in my 2gb mem card instead of locally?

UPDATE 2: some of my icons are gone. i am unable to access my calculator, notes, file explorer, etc from the start menu. how do i re-add the tools icon and advanced icon?

thx

last question i swr lol: if i want to return to original rom, how do i do that? cooked roms seem a little buggy and complicated for me the NEWB ^^
