[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Yup, it was the sim card that I kept forgetting to remove :D

Now as for the settings, I can't remember if I've been using Co0kies Home Tab or BsB Tweaks. But up until now, I've been able to access some settings that make it so all the Windows Mobile default settings are there in a fodler called Settings, in the Start Menu and then another folder is created or becomes visible, labeled Manila Settings. With that, I'm able to access all the hidden settings like SIP default.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Ok, that's what happened when i installed that hotfix(camera crashed). Working fine now! Looking forward on v1.8! Great work on the ROM!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noobtp2:
suggestions for v1.8

HI!

I like Opera 9.7 more than 10

Total commander is not useful at all (at least to me I never have had a reason to use it over explorer)

Showcase would be great just not sure how it would impact your roms!

Speed and stability as always! : D

Keep up the amazing work : D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stank0:
Add Arkswitch

Ditch Total comander and TeleNav

Possibly provide cabs for people who can't live without them.

Opera 9.7 is just fine for me since I use almost exclusively Skyfire. Although slower, IMO much better browsing and supports all media. (Hulu anyone?;)

Add BsB tweaks and CHTEditor.

??? Taskbar skin???

Otherwise your rom is perfect. Thanks for your hard work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hoangiscool2:
I definitely prefer Opera 9.7 more. You should add Chainfire's 3d patch for the next version. I think it helps alot and made the slider scrolling more responsive. For some reason 1.6 premium was noticeably faster than 1.7 premium.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omarrpa:
Video Recorder Issues and Other things in 1.6....fixed in 1.7?

Hi Kumar,

In the 1.6 version:

The HTC video recorder did not properly start up. It would have to be started twice (or more at times) to get it to see the video on the screen.

In rare occasions, when I'm text-ing, the phone would become very slow for a period and return to normal. There was no other apps running in the background.

Sometimes random touches occur, which appear like touch points I've made to text or make a call. It's strange that it gets queued up and executed after I've finished performing an action.

While the phone overall quality has improved with your rom upgrades, the Sense UI becomes a bit sluggish. For example: Switching between different tabs in the call history log.

This one is mentioned by another member that I've started to see more and more recently as well. When I'm stationed at spot, the connection type would change to one of among H, 3G, E and G. I never saw this weirdness in the Stock rom.

Do you know why this is or have they been addressed on the 1.7 version? At any rate, I'm very happy with your rom. Keep up the good work and more donation will follow :)

Thanks,

Omar
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] henryblank:
I agree,I would like to see v1.8 be very stable,so that I can stay on one ROM for more than one day ;->

some suggestions:

I see no need to have two versions of Opera, just leave one in.

do what's needed to extend battery life - this should be a top priority

in the lite version, SMS is different to the Classic - I prefer the Classic SMS but i don't want all that TMO crap, telenav, blockbuster, barnes & noble, etc.. can you wipe out ALL TMO boat from the Classic? If people want this crap, they should keep the standard ROM from TMO.

Thanks! I'll be sending you some $$ here shortly..

Henry
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] henryblank:
Also - in V1.7 every time I send an SMS and recieve a notification "SMS/MMS Sent" then I have to click on DISMISS .. this is a pain, can it be removed please ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hoangiscool2:
Yea I agree. Please remove all the TMO bloat crap. I don't see a reason to upgrade Opera as it is working great. The current HTC SMS is fine with me in the premium.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DeekoVB5:
haha what? If you want to use the included GPS or e-Reader software you should use the stock ROM? That doesn't make any sense at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DeekoVB5:
I'd prefer the standard task manager and file manager, as well as just Opera 9.7. I like that this ROM is generally fast, stable, and close to stock. If people want all kinds of mods and changes, that's what ROMs like Energy are for...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] henryblank:
I agree, what I meant by removing the TMO bloat is to remove those apps which are trial or pay services, these IMO are gimmicks to get more $.

if you need them, then add them via cab .. that's my stance.

Looking forward to v1.8 ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sanagapa:
agree. no trail or pay services .. better those are added as CABs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ferrisnox:
I would just recommend to others if you haven't tried Opera 10 give it a go. It wont goof up your old opera install, just don't choose to make it your primary browser.

Its much faster, has speed dial and synchronizes your bookmarks. There will not be any updates for 9.7 so move on. The only downside to 10 is the pinch zooming but you don't need it once you get used to tap zoom.

I agree lose the demo apps & games.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DeekoVB5:
To some, that's a big deal? Why move on to something that might render a little faster but is more difficult to use?

I'm sure they'll add pinch zooming to Opera 10 at some point, and when they do, it certainly makes more sense to upgrade.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I've been running Lite 1.7 since last night. So far, the only thing that I've noticed is that it seems slightly slower than the Premium 1.61, which I thought was odd. Otherwise, the ROM seems to be running very well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bgkilian:
In a future ROM, I sure wish the MSVC "Announce incoming calls" and the "Announce new (SMS) messages" notifications to a bluetooth headset were working. I admit that this is probably an HTC thing, but I still am hoping. Thanks again for the excellent work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
My thoughts:

No need for Total Commander

I'm fine with Opera 9.7

I've been using MMTaskManager, but not necessarily stuck on that if another is better

Also, I'm running the Lite 1.7 version from yesterday and thought that it didn't have HTC/Sense Messaging. However, when I use the Home Screen Tabs to get to "Messages" and then select the message, it looks like it's bringing up the HTC/Sense Messaging app to use to reply to the message instead of the Windows messaging app. Is that supposed to be the case?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] henryblank:
I too am seeing this, I would like to see this fixed for 1.8, including the 'DISMISS' pop-up when sending an SMS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] FrEsHaZzBuRu:

what happened to the change log??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Anyone liking 1.61 Classic over 1.7? Had a few issues When I switched to 1.7 Classic but I'm not entirely sure if it's the version number or Classic vs. Premium.

DINIK Glass Style Slider, now makes an annoying black bar between it and Phone/Menu buttons. And a few other minor issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I actually went from Premium 1.5 to Premium 1.61 to Lite 1.7. The only thing I've noticed is that Lite 1.7 is slightly slower. Tough to quantify, but it seems just a tad slower.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I think I'd have to agree with you about 1.7. I'm now going back to 1.6 Classic without Voice Command.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Odd pink color problem solved

So I finally figured out what was creating pink colors on my screen (not the ListPro issue which remains). It turns out that the cheap Write Wright screen protector I put on my device, has scratches on it that have caused it to create rainbow stripes that can only be seen at some angles. No worries because it was just a temp protector until I got around to buying and installing a much better one by Brando.

Edit: I take it back! :(

After another flash back to 1.7, after Task29. I see the pink colors around some text. anyone else have this problem??? If you're using Classic 1.7, could you please go to settings in the slider And look at the word Application in the list of settings to access. Does the word Application have pink coloring at the bottom of both p's in the word? I keep seeing this show up from place to place and when i scroll settings, Application is still showing it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dallastx:
Uhhh yea that's a wish list alright..You my friend need to stick to lite ROM. Or cook your own ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Thanks for the inputs friends.

I'm at work now. Will reply to the questions later after i return from work.

Building the ROM in progress.

Test ROM is up inbeta section.

If anybody wish to TRY, you can download from there;)

Initial chagelog for Premium Version 1.8

1. Updated XIP & SYS from WM build 23563.

2. Reverted to some Leo 2.10.1 packages to fix some issues reported.

3. Tweaked the ROM to get smooth sliding in manila tabs.

4. Removed MobiTV, TeleNav & Block buster(cabs will be made available with the release version;)

5. Added Arkswitch taskmanager with Dusk theme.

6. Added Facebook tab V1.2

7. Few other minor fixes.

Please remember that this is not the final changelog for V1.8 premium.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
I have tried a few things in 1.8 for better speed & stability. Let me know.

I can't include full version as it shareware and not free one. Sorry.

Try 1.8 & let me know.

I want to leave it to user for additional drivers installation as it is easy for installing and also sometimes may affect battery life for those don't use it.

Thanks for the support.

Most of the issues are fixed in 1.8. However, there is no reports of Video recorder or random touches issues. Anyways, try 1.8 when it is out or the beta one if you want and let me know.

Notification problem is solved already.

Most of the changes are made in V1.8.

Thanks.

Thanks. Please try 1.8 and let me know.

Its not in my had friend:D

Still, will see what i can do;)

Will look in to that sms thing.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
The ROM is no yet completed friend:D

Partial beta change log is posted now.

Thats really sad:(

Try the V1.8 & update please:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fdxgnd:
Hi. First time posting here. I have been using this rom since the beginning. I just have a quick question. Once in a while when I turn the phone on or switch apps the start button will show up briefly in the top left corner. Is this normal or possibly there is a fix for it. Thanks for the great rom and keep up the good work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DeekoVB5:
Hey, are you still planning on making a Titanium version? I'm still on 1.5 classic - been waiting on that Titanium version before updating.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Couldn't find a fix from my side till now:(

As a matter of coincidence, just now i was thinking about the same:D

Yes. Should be up in a day or two before this weekend.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Just downloaded and flashed to Premium 1.8 from the beta forum. It appears to be running as snappy as Premium 1.61 was.

Now, there is one thing in Lite 1.7 that I would LOVE to have in any version 1.8, though I'm not sure if it was in Lite 1.7 because it was the "Lite" version.

If you are in an email inbox, when you select "Menu", in Lite 1.7, the "Select Messages" option was in the screen. With 1.8 (and the prior 1.61 and 1.5 versions I flashed to), you have to scroll to get to "Select Messages". I realize it is only one extra swipe, but I use the method to select "Several" messages at once for deletion. It would be great if 1.8 had the "Select Messages" option from the Menu on the screen when it comes up.

I can provide a screenshot if this wasn't clear.

Also, for AshMa, yes, evern with 1.8, I can see the "tails" of the "P"s with some pink in "Application" on the Settings screen. It's pretty faint and doesn't show up well in this screenshot, but it's on all the lowercase "P"s:

Other than that, I've only had the ROM for about two hours, so I'll report back any other issues.

Another AWESOME ROM from Kumar! Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Alright! Now we're talkin'. Can't wait to try Titanium on this bad boy. I've been loving all the ROMs so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Nano3:
oh...

i think i just bricked my device after flashing to this rom... what do i do now?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mOrrI:
Yeah I'm waiting also for 1.8....

I'm using the Kumar's Leo P1.4 WWE at the moment...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Also, a minor request (or someone point me in the right direction if it's there). The stock T-Mo ROM had Bubblebreaker. My kids love that game, but I don't see it in the Windows folder in the ROMs I've flashed. If this is indeed missing, I'd like to request to have it added or someone point me to where I can download just the game.

Thanks!

Can someone help me getting my phone back to operational usage please? my phone will not active sync. it will only go up to the first tmobile screen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
1. Remove and reinsert your battery.

2. Press & keeping hold the volume down button, switch ON the device

3. Connect to PC.

4. Flash the ROM again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Nano3:
followed instructions... reflased... phone is doing the same thing... umm, what am i doing wrong? maybe im using the wrong version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
What is your device actually?

Euro HD2?

Tmobile US HD2?

Tmobile australia HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Nano3:
tmobile us hd2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
You have flashed the wrong ROM friend. This thread is for Euro version.

Don't worry.

Your device is not bricked as i haven't included any radio.

Just download from here and install in bootloader as i said before by holding vol down.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Nano3:
Thank you... what a newb i am. question, does your rom come with the cookie tab stuff?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aagvain:
prefer mmtaskmanager

i do not use total commander

prefer 9.7

thanks for your roms. they really enhance the user experience.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Yes. The premium version have.

How to update the radio to 2.10.50

I have the RUU_signed.nbh file for 2.10.50 but how do I install it I have installed the premium rom on the phone at the moment thanx for the help guys

Ok I think I got it sry
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ferrisnox:
Is it possible to get a full list of apps included for 1.8? Im pretty exciged for this build. I got pimbackup installed, so I wont have to worry about my contacts this time.

Also in the screenshot above the start button is multicolored is that default in the rom?

Thanks keep cooking.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Sorry, that screenshot above is NOT the default start button in the ROM. I'm using a different set of task bar, slider, and bottom bar icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MirasHD2:
Please share. Which ones in specific? That's an awesome look!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
THANK YOU!!!! Because of your comment, I now know that it's not just my device. I was worried that Something may be wrong with my screen. Then again, I did flash back to the stock rom and the problem doesn't show up anywhere running stock.

Also I notice that in all of Kumar's rom versions I've tried, that when you get to the set up screen after a first boot, the screen asking you to select a wifi network, is raised up above the screen so that the words are cut off at the top and there is a white bar at the bottom. Not a real issue because we only see the screen once but it was just something I noticed......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Petulinek:
When will be new version friend please? Im using 1.71 and is super, but but I believe that the new will be even better :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
No problem. I got the Top Task Bar icons and Bottom Bar from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637858

Specifically, the "Steve 007 - Taskbar 4 Colors Windows 6.5.x.cab" and the "Steve 0007 Bottom bar.cab".

For the slider, I got it from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5803170

Specifically, the "DINIK - Anastasia - Slider v1.6.cab" file.

I really like how they look together. But I'll probably try some others just to see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Hmm, I did not notice that set up screen on first boot. Interesting.

As for the pink "p"s, I'm not too worried since they don't seem to bother me. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Thanks mate. I think you are telling about the default wm menu which is taken over by the HTC menu in premium version. However, there is some tweak to show more items in menu list. Please search the tweaks thread in HD2 section.

If you can't find i'll try to check myself.

Actually, the bubble breaker was not working in wm6.5.x. Let me check it again for some solution.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have added Arkswitch which is better i think.

No. I didn't add any MOD otherthan Co0kie's home tab. I just left to the users to add custom MODs as per their personal preferences.

I think it may be due to cleartype option enabled in landscape.

Try to change this setting and see how it helps you,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]

"OffOnRotation"="1"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Oh, just a note for those who are thinking of upgrading to 1.8. Since 1.8 already has Arkswitch as part of the ROM, you do NOT need to run the cab that you may have for Arkswitch to install it in 1.8. I tried that and it seemed to lock up my phone. A soft reset using the reset switch on the back fixed it, but just in case someone upgrading to 1.8 thinks they need to reinstall Arkswitch, you don't need to do that.

Man, I need some sashimi or something to make it easier to install the cabs that I have after I do a flash. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Actually, the packages we are using are NOT developed for wm6.5.x.

The bottom bar is thin in wm6.5.x(235xx) compared to wm6.5(218xx)

Also, it is in the case of taskbar. So, the issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Thanks dear.

Actually, iam using the same packages for TMOUS and Euro.

The testing phase is ON for TMOUS ROM with latest 23563 build.

So, it should not take much time and hopefully by tomorrow i'll release the new version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Thanks for the suggestion for the tweak. Searching now but not coming up with anything yet.

Also, bummer on the bubble breaker. Not a critical thing, obviously, but my kids were asking about it last time I gave them my phone to play with.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
I haven't tried it. try and let me know:p:D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Thanks! Unfortunately, the "Select Messages" is the 11th item in the menu. :(

I wonder how the Lite 1.7 removed some of the items on the menu so that it was shorter and the "Select Messages" would show up. Was Lite 1.7 using a different version of Outlook?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
As i said in my previous post, the menu popup which you had in lite version is the default one from windows.

The one included in premium is HTC Menu Enhancement. Hence the difference. The HTC menu enhancement actually have more options but slower compared to default one.

But, have you tried 11 in settings? is that not working?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Tried the reg change for cleartype and it didn't change anything after a soft reset too. Oh well, I guess I'm seeing colors :p

Now you guys are talking about menu's and so I'm wondering if you're talking about the same thing I'm trying to figure out. In Classic 1.7, how can I access the Windows settings menu for things like SIP/Input and all the standard Windows settings that are hidden by Sense? I was able to do this with 1.5 and 1.6 but now I can't seem to unlock it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Ahh, I see. The HTC Menu Enhancement takes over and adds menu items.

And yes, I have tried 11, but the screen is only big enough to show 10, so it doesn't allow the 11th item to be shown. I need to either find a way to eliminate one or more of the items in the list or get it to a smaller font so it displays more than 10.

Not a critical thing for me, BTW. I can live with an extra swipe up to bring up the "Select Messages" menu item, but I do it so often that it would help. I will keep searching. I was just pleasantly surprised that Lite 1.7 didn't have it, so if you do release a Lite 1.8, I'm probably going to jump on that.
