TrueG SDK Port - No Crud​

Release Candidate 1​

Well it has been a while since I have released one of my ROMs, but it seems there is an interest in something like this.

I personally prefer to work with official code, so when I learned that Microsoft released a new SDK in Feb, I figured it was time to update my ROM. Previously, I was using a ROM I built from the SDK from last summer.

Anyway, here is the rundown....

SYS is based on 6.5.3 [23090.5.3.0] extracted from the official MS DTK [here]

XIP was obtained from xbeta.cn

OEM is a compilation of 5.11.520.2 (AT&T) and 5.12.206.1 (O2 UK)

I have attempted to remove every piece of 3rd party software that I can (perhaps too much, thus the label RC1). This means no HTC Bootloader, no AutoRun, no CommManager, etc etc.

All necessary drivers are intact as well as a couple of applications needed for hardware functionality (Camera, Sim Manager, etc etc).

Personally, I prefer a few more applications than what I have included here, but this is not for me, it's for those who want a ROM with minimal CRUD.

See the next post for what is included. I am open to suggestions to add back things that I have taken out. I can't imagine anything else that can be taken out, but I'm open to suggestions there as well.

I will post Touch Pro & Fuze versions, but really the only difference is a single registry entry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CWSLayout=1].

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
Customizations:

- Power Management enabled where possible

- removed unnecessary drivers & registry entries

Keypad shortcuts:

Short_PTT - Task Manager

Long_PTT - Camera

Long_Send - Wireless Manager

Long_End - Device Lock

Microsoft does not appear to support MMS natively, so you would need to install a MMS application if you need one. It might be worth while adding one in RC2.

RC1 Bugs:

- After posting I realized I included custom tsk files. The tsk file that is running after flash is like the SDK, if you change it afterwards, the font & menu sizes are back to 6.1 size. I will replace the originals from the SDK in RC2.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dcarr622:
This is very cool, might give it a try. I enjoy very clean ROMs and I like the "Microsoft-only" philosphy. However no MMS would keep me away. I'm surprised it's not built into Windows Mobile! I guess each OEM handles it differently.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
Yes, I find it very strange as well. Arcsoft MMS seems to be the only option right now, which is a shame.

Anyway, attached are two CABs that will install Arcsoft MMS for you. Install 1-Arcsoft MMS 5.2.0.22 VGA.cab before you install 2-Arcsoft MMS 5.2.1.37.cab. I found them here.

Then install cing_mms_setting[1].cab to get it configured for AT&T. Originally located here.

Hey, trued!

Sorry for waking the thread from the dead, but I would really like to hear if there's any active delepment on this project. I would really like to try your rom since it is just what I'm looking for but I do not see much feedback.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
No, I still have my Touch Pro, but I've had 2 or 3 phones since then. I need to finish work on a Samsung B7350 ROM, then a LG Fathom ROM, then LG Expo. I don't think I would have time for this one.

Anyway, there's been a lot of work on 6.5.3 since the SDK was released. You are probably better going with something newer anyway.

TrueG
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zekerijah:
Oh, OK. Bad news, I guess.

As a matter of fact, I tried it yesterday and it feels very responsive and fast.

I tried many roms, but they all have so many progs preinstalled. I guess I'd be very grateful if you could point me to the one you think is close to yours.

Thanks gor your reply.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
no, I probably couldn't help. It's been over a year since I used my Touch Pro, so I'm not really up to speed on current ROMs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HTC0017:
Hi Trueg,

Are you willing to share your kitchen?

Thank you in advance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trueg:
Absolutely, but I'm not sure if I still have a copy. I will have to check when I get home.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] WeAreNotAlone:
Back in Aug-2011 in another thread you mentioned you had been able to make a custom rom for the LG VS750 Fathom... that the flashing procedure was "tricky"..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16473896&postcount=41

Can you expand on the process - Preferably creating a thread on how such is done on the VS750?

LG VS750 Fathom is begging for custom roms...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
Hey all, I use my G1 and love it, Was happy with my MDA but now comes the debate.. TP2 or HD2, TP2 is still more expensive and I like the keyboard idea more.. but seems HD2 is stronger.

I know TP2 can install android os which sounds cool. But bottom line, should I forget about the HD2 and go after a TP2 or would you all say HD2 is defiantly better?

Im looking to use this more as a pocket pc vs a phone. =)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Hello,

As anyone day for ages: Rhodium has the best keyboard a smartphone has ever had. If you type a lot - go for Rhodium. Otherwise, Leo is in any way better imho.

Greetings,

Happy Rhodium user :))
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] honestgabe00:
Yeah, if you are looking for pocket pc functionality I would go with the TP2. I can run Ubuntu on it, which you can't do with the HD2 (yet) I really really really can't say enough good things about the keyboard. But the HD2 is more horsepower for less cash. So if you need a keyboard for a more pc like experience, TP2. Otherwise, the HD2 seems like a natural choice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
Yea Im looking at HD2 specs.. quite impressive, flash camera, 5mp camera, 1 ghz processor (vs 528), wifi router mode (This one is big for me.. I use that on my g1 all the time, but if this built in one lets PSP, PS3 etc connect, then thats instant win!)

I heard from some the vk is not that bad. Big enough screen.

TP2 running ubuntu, I LIKE that idea ALOT. I always believe terminal commanding on a vk sucks.. but Id be willing to go for it. Processor speed and ram is always good to have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Johny_G:
TP2 is an awesome device, but I got used to typing on the display, and since the Leo's one is definitely bigger, I would choose the powerful HD2 now - with no doubts. I thought I cannot live without HW QWERTY keyboard, but it's all just about first few days (I hated the software keyboard for week or two). I recommend you HD2, although I'm TP2 user witch no major complaints :-).

BTW, TP2 can do WiFi routing with no problem :-). But the Ubuntu really sucks for now. Pain in the ass to move the cursor around.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
HD2 will have the ability to run Android too you think? Or can it dual boot?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Yes, for sure the HD2 will get Android thru hatret. I would get even a step ahead writing that HD2 will run the Android much faster then TP2 ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
When you do android on TP2 or HD2 would it have root access too?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I've used my TP2 as a wireless router for my laptop. Only tried with my laptop and my sisters imac, both worked.

Best place to check would be the android tp2 developer forums
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
WHOO HOO! Already sold out on CS. I got mine for 200$ I am now the owner of a HD2 =D ty all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wearefree:
It'll be nice to see a comparison between tp2 and hd2. I know reviews are all over the place, and I have played hd2 in the store (of course they're out of stock, it's just the display model I'm fiddling with), but always nice to see from a person with real hands-on experience.

I wouldn't mind the upgrade, except I can't justify it. As a current tp2 user I really don't care the keyboard that much (touchpal takes care of all the type I need, plus copy paste, etc), but one flaw I found with hd2 is the phone is locked in portrait in word when I rotate it. I was trying to access the larger landscape keyboard in word, and it seemed not available. In contrast, iphone does this a lot better. I wish I can achieve that w/o additional software (I know it's do-able with other software but why do I have to?)

HD2 has all the awesome hardware specs, and I would very much like to get one if I don't already own my tp2 (can't really do the upgrade though). However what deters me also include the dying wm6.5 OS. Granted I think I hate wm7 even more (c'mon, MS, don't make wm another iphone OS), and I prefer the HD2 hardware running android. Maybe this is what I really want:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
On amazon.com the HD2 is more expensive than the TP2.

But would be interesting to know, where you got your HD2 for $200 !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Good thing you chose the HD2. It beats the Rhodium in every way but the keyboard. But it comes with a great VK called Swype. I'm using that now on my Nexus One and its the fastest VK I have ever used! Nearly as fast as using my Rhodium's keyboard.

The Rhodium is extremely sluggish and the HD2 is not sluggish in any way. I tried one out a couple days ago and was blown away.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
uhm,... anyone can answer my question? Where is the HD2 sold for cheaper than the TP2 ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
I got mine with a 2 year upgrade for my tmobile contract. =) 200$
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Amazon and Wirefly both have it for $99 right now with a new line, and both they and T-mobile direct are offering it for $199 with a line upgrade.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Don-Carlo:
Thanks Mysticales and sirphunkee!

Oh ok,... I thought you were talking about retailer prices (without a new line or upgrade). Cuz I was looking at amazon for just the devices and the HD2 is clearly more expensive than the TP2.

$99/$199 with a new line/upgrade is still a really good price,... they dont sell that cheap in Germany. Even with the most expensive service provider contract (about $150 / month fixed costs) you still have to add $300 for the device. Ridiculously expensive.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
It helps to balance out how much WE have to pay for an Audi or BMW over here :D

Do US T-mo devices work on the european T-mo network?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] berrywr:
I bought the HD2 for my mother-in-law; I kid you not; my M-I-L but she's the cool type; anyway, I got the device 6 days after I ordered it March 24 and like all HardSPL2'd and flashed it with NRGZ28's Leo version of the ROM I have on my Touch Pro2.

Personally, I'm on the fence. I am absolutely in love with the Touch Pro2's form factor and keyboard. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know there's twice the horsepower under the hood of the HD2. We have 3G in town but where we live we have EDGE and if there was any one thing that stood out between my Rhodium and her Leo and that was how smooth Opera, Skyfire and MIE pulled up web pages and pretty darn fast despite EDGE.

Where the HD2 also excels is on a windshield mount and there above all using yuor finger pads really shines. I use CoPilot Live 8 and no problems at all using it there or any of the homescreen functions.

I use my TP2 for CoPilot Live 8, internet, email, text, taking pictures; games while I play a little I really have no interest. The TP2 was introduced by T-Mobile as the device for business professionals and the HD2 for entertainment and I really think that's how this is going to shape itself out and of course the keyboard.

Look, I put the 16 gig sd card in my TP2 and it ran the movies flawless. The games loaded and they ran flawless.

The HD2's form factor is my biggest issue; it reminds me of watching the Star Trek series; particularly TNG and remember those pads? That's what this device feels like in your hand; like holding the edge of a coffee plate. Body Glove makes a case for the Touch Pro2 that can take a beating; the HD2 is fragile and I've yet to see a case for it that can take the beating the case for the TP2 can. What's in T-Mobile stores today is a clear case and a kick stand and if there was ever one device that cried out for a screen protector this baby is it.

The HD2 is one of those devices I like and I don't like and T-Mobile introduced the device at a price set lower than the introduction of the TP2 and I bet the house had they introduced the TP2 at $199; they'd been sold out too, but up to about a week before the HD2 launched TP2s went for $269.99 with contract.

My data plan is T-Mobile Web (Unlimited T-Zones) and it's no secret its identical in every function as Unlimited Web for Smart Phones; difference is $19 cheaper at $5.99. Retail vs Contract or $449.99 vs $199.99 or $250.00 difference. That's a payoff of the device in 13 months if I choose not to factor my older MyFaves Plan vs Even More or Even More Plus into the equation. For those of us who have been with any one provider, let's be real, a device with voice, text and data isn't exactly cheap.

For those of us with grandfather plans it isn't just how cool the device is; it too is do we go it without a contract or with a contract; however for us a contract forces us to change our plan. The irony of it is, there is nothing in T-Mobile T&C that says T-Mobile Web is any less of a data plan than web2go or Unlimited Web for Smart Phones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
Ill agree there, Web browsing is actually ENJOYABLE now on the HD2. Which is good!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Rhodium is my choice for 1 reason: KEYBOARD

All comes to this:

Rhodium = Keyboard

Leo = Bigger screen / faster processor
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
You forgot.

Rhodium = Keyboard AND Android ability.

Leo doesnt have that yet. =/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Diesel-30:
The HD2 is not 3G where as the TP2 is. right? That's another one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] scariola:
That's a big negative, both are 3G capable. HSPDA too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mysticales:
3g vs HSPDA what is that? I know after I flashed to energy, it shows my data as H instead of 3g.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AlkamistStar:
Choosing the HD2 is a good choice, but for me personally, i'd go with the Touch Pro 2. I love the keyboard, form factor, and how its supported by the XDA community, and in general. My biggest gripe is that there is no multi-touch on the TP2 (ironic since its called the "Touch Pro 2" hmmm) and that would be my deciding factor in upgrading. Thankfully it's not THAT big of a deal, so i'll be waiting for the TP3 (only if they have multitouch. if not im getting the HD2), or WinMo7 (after its initial release...because right now...its just not worth it).

i have the touch pro 2 vzw version unlocked for tmobile and using android currently to test out the xda application. playing with both devices, i can say that the touch pro2 is a powerful device. the new builds of android, ubuntu and windows mobile makes the touch pro 2 extremely reliable.

however the touch hd2 is gorgeous and extremely fast. but as far as community development, its only windows for now (which thatll change for sure)

personally its up to you. i like both devices but in a pinch i use touch pro 2 because of the keyboard and panoply of applications with a keyboard. i think thats what it boils down to whether you want a keyboard or not. the touch hd2 has a very responsive capacitive touch screen so typing on that screen is a blast (just have to find the best keyboard available)

up to you i guess

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] myknyte:
The way I see it, here's the breakdown

Rhodium = Keyboard / ANDROID / UBUNTU / SPEAKERPHONE functionality (easy 3 way conference calls, mute button, sound adjust etc)

Leo = Bigger screen / faster processor / 3.5 Audio Jack

(possible forthcoming = ANDROID / UBUNTU)

(maybe bigger battery as well?)

Hmm, I just updated to Slideme 3.41, keeps FC while loading catalogue. I un-installed and installed it again, same. I'm on Modaco 3.2.:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sisbell:
Based on the forum posts on slideme, it looks as though they had a bad update about 5 days ago. This update doesn't work on Android 1.5 devices, and a number of 2.x ones as well. On some other devices that it still works on, a lot of missing apps. I'm not sure when or if they will issue a fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlideME:
The problem is related to a 1.5 issue.

There is no FC on 2.x

sisbell is simply personally attacking us as an ex team member. Ironically, he was involved with this product in the past and we've been fixing all his mess.

We will patch this as soon as we finish our testing, most likely tomorrow.

re: catalog updates, apps populate as they're being fetched when you enter each category.

If you need a version today, you can get the 3.4 also from site.

Excuse that we did not test thoroughly on 1.5's before a release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sisbell:
I fail to see how this is a personal attack. I'm just giving a user a quick rehash of what I picked up on the forums and twitter. If SlideME is not testing its releases, how is that my fault?

You're definitely monitoring anything mentioned about us and first to post a negative comment anywhere on the web - and you claiming you're not personally attacking or just wanting to damage..? How did you manage to post here? When was the last time you posted on XDA? When was the last time you used your twitter, http://twitter.com/sisbell ?

It seems you got nothing better to do, than follow what we do or what is mentioned about us.

Not to mention that most of the issues are due to your own crappy code you left behind, being cleaned up.

I seem to be getting a notification to say I have a message but when I check the message it just says downloading. So I rang vodafone and got them to send me the APN details and re-entered them. Got my friend to resend the message and it worked.

The day after the same thing has happened - I have not changed my APN so not sure why this is happening. Standard messaging app on cyanogen latest. Did a bit of searching but all seems to be related to APN issues and activation which I know this isn't.

This is a strange problem, when I first flashed a ROM on my G1

I remember not having any data connection at all.

I had to use wifi for any data transfers, and to Sign in with Google.

Upon reboot though everything was setup right, you should check

if it's a bug with your ROM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb222:
Still didn't fix. It's the same on edge, 3g and wifi.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erlern:
I use to have this problem and it was frustrating to manually switch between using MMS APN and 3G APN. Try this....

in Your 3G APN, under the APN type, type in "default"

in Your MMS APN, under APN type, type in "mms" and make sure your "Proxy" and "Port" settings are also entered under MMS proxy and MMS port.

After putting these things in, I can automatically switch between MMS and 3G and the downloading will actually start downloading and not just remain stagnant with nothing to show. Hope this works.

Sorry if it does not because I am not in the States. But let me know how it goes :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb222:
I didn't know the apn settings for U.S. T-mobile so I tried a work around that worked! i flashed the base htc rom, then newest cynagen, then fastest 3.0.3, then Blue Magic MKllr1, then metamorphed an expresso theme. All no wipe. MMS works! I still would love to know what goes wrong from one rom to the next.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invario:
I apologize for reviving an old thread but from a quick search, I didn't see anyone with the solution I figured out.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G on TMO and this same exact thing happened to me. Someone sent me a picture MMS and it got stuck on downloading. I tried enabling and disabling Wifi, made sure I had 4G, etc.... Nothing worked. The MMS they sent me still said "Downloading" and was stuck. There was no way to abort/redownload/etc. Meanwhile, I could send/receive other MMS just fine.

Finally, I tried going into the messaging settings and disabling auto-retrieve. When I went back to the thread, lo and behold, there was now a download button!! I hit it and presto, the MMS downloaded!

Hope someone finds use from this.

Another bump, this was the fix. I had data disabled to save battery when an MMS came in. It was forever "downloading". Data on/off, reboot phone, didn't matter. Flipped it to manual download, turned on data, and hit download. It came right through.
