report .. sort of :)

hi all,

well, after almost a day of heavy duty testing, i can report this is (by my standards!) good rom .. most likely a keeper !

battery is good, from 100% at 7am, mail checking every 10mins, weather 30mins, 30+ sms, few mails sent, 10+ phonecalls, and it is 2.30pm it sits on 89% .. so impresive .. not that it has much to do with rom, i guess radio here is the important .. it is 2.12.50.

what i do like about this rom it is stock-like, with just a littlebit of make-up, that every rom lacks! if the rom is good and fast, it has so much of makeup, and if it is stock-like, it is so sterile .. so this is the best compromise i found.

i wanted to report some missing icons, but i have found the settings i have missed in totaly logical place for it, so that is very good from the chef ! i am talking about personal > input settings ..

but as nothing can be perfect :D i have found one problem also.

when i have a missed call, i get the icon in the top status bar (or whats that on the top where the batter icon is .. ) but in cht menu, there is no "1 missed call" text. i am using main home layout, and on the other roms i have used that have cht cooked in, or Artemis where i installed cht manualy (yes, 1.8.5) i always get missed call info on dynamic "curton-like" menu where calendar and missed calls are. so i guess that this error/bug is NOT cht related.

all in all i think i will stuck to this rom for few more days to give it a proper heavy duty test, as i use this phone for work. so will report later on ..

cheers

Igor

Yes, but you still lose all your data. The Hard Reset afterward it to clear up any of the little things that didn't get deleted before.

After you flash, you'll still need to import your contacts, setup your home screens, reinstall any application, etc. The Hard Reset isn't necessary, but after you flash, hard resetting isn't that big of a deal.

e-reader books

Hey all this ROM is certainly solid stable and great battery compared to many...well it is on my phone!.

Really nice work Kumar, I dunno what you've done but dont stop doing it :D

Thought I would share this (not my work) I wanted the E-reader tab with the stock books..I am actually working my through them!

Anyway I understand why Kumar has taken them out, but I found this page which installs onto the ROM with no issues ( I installed one that messed up my tabs) It just adds about 7 or 8 books
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joe_coolish:
I know right? Blah, I'd love to add that to the list :)

Swipe

hi again ..

when switching to swipe, i am getting the message

"The swipe package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited funcionality."

first time i had this error, i pressed OK, and switched back to full qwerty. but when tried to reproduce the error to report it back on forum, phone got stuck, and only battery out could help :(

not that i need swipe, just wanted to try it out, and got stuck. so i thought to report .. but ..

PLEASE dont tell me that this thread is like 90% others where Chefs publish their work, and after that do not give a damn about user problems :( i already quit all of tham as not be able to find solutions for some problems. i really hope, it wont be case here, as i really like this rom and would like to give my help to make it even better !

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osrix:
I can confirm that Swype is not working on 2.4 no msvc although mine does give the same error it didn't freeze my phone, perhaps Kumar has used the wrong package by mistake?

skr_xd seems like a very good chef for answering questions and giving support from what i have read in this thread
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicai:
i forgot to mention that in the meantime i switched to 2.4 msvc version, to see the difference to "no msvc" and hopeing that missed call issue i reported earlier here does not exist .. but still the same.

we'll wait and see ;) i really hope you are right :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Thanks for your feedback friends.

The thread has run through some pages and so difficult to reply individually and sorry for not doing so. Anyways, i have read through all the posts.

So far the issues reported are,

1. Swype issue - I forgot to change the device name when cooking as it needs to be TMobile HD2 for proper functioning. It will be rectified in upcoming version 2.4.1 coming very soon, hopefully by tomorrow;)

2. Missed call displaying issue - Please some screen shots if possible.

3. Text typing laggy in messaging client. (Coomon issue with HTC messaging client when it has more messages. Still, Will try an updated client in V2.4.1)

Let me know if there are some other things i have not covered.

@ gabriel.twl- Thanks for those comments & feedback.

@ stephen423 - Please check here, This thread is for Euro HD2 only.

@ osrix

Thanks for the feedback. But, i have included E-Reader tab anyways?:confused: Although it is not enabled in manila tab settings.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osrix:
The E-reader tab is included but not the stock books that usually come with it, it wasn't a criticism! the tab you included was empty of books, I thought you had taken them out deliberately!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
I think its a miss hit again:D

I have not included some registry entries to show the books. Forgot:(

The fuss happened with swype and Ereader because, i had to rebuilt my kitchen due to PC motherboard crash before few days for the second time:(

Anyways, will be fixed in upcoming V2.4.1

hey kumar just curious if you know any apps for full screen incoming and outgoing calls caller id fullscreen photos..i think that would be a great feature to have. and also any way to skin the sms..

Welcome to the world of cooked ROM's...I experienced the exact same things with my G1: current cooked ROM would fly for a day or two, then start to get bogged down with hangs, f/c's, and random reboots. I got so frustrated, because it always seemed to happen when I'm working or something else where I really needed it to work...

This is why I've had my HD2 for over 2 months now and have yet to try any cooked ROM's...the closest I've gotten is installing HSPL3 so I can change my boot screen...Reading this thread all afternoon and it seems almost 50/50 between people who say it runs great and those who have issues...not sure what I want to do yet...

No Lite version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
From my fulfilling experience, skr_xd/kumar is great! Probably the most helpful chef i've encountered, always listening plus giving out valuable advice and replies all the time, this is only my first rom with kumar, and the rom's still with my phone until now, i've never stuck with a rom for so long. LOL. He really helped me alot before i flashed and it's turned out to be great. He probably isn't getting as much recognition as he deserve over at the euro forum or at this thread at least. I think he gets slightly more over at tmous side. But it'd be our loss if he stops his development here!!

You're right kumar, anyways, i realized that the messaging client you used is version 1.5 (build 2016.1721) maybe you could incorporate this version (either builds seem to have good feedback) into your rom (to prevent any incompatibilities from installing by cab)? It has good feedback and seem to handle replying text messaging well with reading the space bar entry well as well. However if you find a better version, you decide which to include it if you think of changing it, since you know so much more about these than me! :) Just my opinion, but you make the decision bro! Thanks! (:

Maybe you could look for another opera version which renders page and handles pinch to zoom better? i'm not sure which version is good, but i've tried a couple of them but to no avail. Provided you have time and settle what's important in your daily activities first :)

P.S anyway, after another 2 days, i've realized that with the current radio 2.12 (haven't changed radio) i realized that it actually handles battery really well in standby, probably 1% over an hour or so. So it's pretty decent, however when using the phone, battery consumption is going down a little too fast. So i'm kinda in a dilemma whether to change or not. Just f.y.i i have one email account to sync auto once a day and weather every 3 hour with facebook (contacts) every 2 hours. I think that's below average use?

Nevertheless i cannot stop expressing my gratitude and thanks for your work and effort. Especially for your support over your rom and help! have a good day! :D

Looking forward to v2.4.1!! :)

Anyone experiencing intermittent issues with the last few ROMS 2.2/2.3/2.4 where after a while, sometimes a day or more, upon a wake from sleep sequence (press the power button), the screen will go completely black except for the icons on the top of the screen (battery/signal/etc.) and the phone becomes completely unresponsive? Also, when this happens, the slide to unlock screen does not show up and only a battery pull and hard reboot solves the problem . . . Trying to determine if this is just me or a more global problem.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicai:
Hello,

it aint working! i tried to changde the "name" and "Orig_Name" key .. it still says its not for the device ..

as for the missed call issue .. dont really understand what the screensshot would help, but here it is ..

you see in the top line, the missed call, and in the middle there still sits calendar .. as for in other roms, as in cht itself there should stay "missed call txt"

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
did you allow missed calls to show in cht editor under misc. settings? or show when relevant?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicai:
i am sorry for being such an idiot :D

of course not .. did not even knew that there is an option like that .. as by default cht stays on auto for both calendar and missed calls...

ok, my apology to everyone .. so i guess this is the rom worth to be on my phone :D

problem solved .. however the swipe thing still stays, not that i need it, just wanted to let know.

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
probably kumar don't need it so he disabled it. But still, you can go and change it to whatever you want. And i don't use swype too, but still kumar will probably get it fixed in v2.4.1. So you can flash it if you find it a niggling issue.

Thanks Kumar.... top quality work yet again.

i know it is stupid, but maybe contacts are dirty, and phone is loosing the card ? happened to me on diamond

Nope, i don't think the contacts are dirty. Just checked and clean as a jippy :-)

I'm gonna try energy rom now and see if the same problem exists.

I'l let you know...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Sorry. No idea for any easy process. BTW, the mms issue should be solved with upcoming V2.4.1 or atleast the mms fixes should work with it.

Thanks for the suggestions. But, didn't get much time to test those cabs. Let me check before next versions;)

Always have idea to include a autoinstall option. Lemme try to include in future version.

I'll try to change them in future versions;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
I have seen some sort of fullscreen caller ID before. Don't remember now:(

May be SPB have some also.

Reg sms skinning, there are few available for windows clients. But, i haven't seen any for HTC clients.

Most of the issues reported are due to newbies who makes mistakes in basic things and don't use the solutions available just witnh a simple search.

Iam not telling my ROM is 100% perfect. But, definitely not 50% perfect as you are thinking from those replies:D

Coming soon my friend;)

Hopefully in a day or two.

No issues for me with 2.4.

BTW, iam a heavy Calls, moderate messaging, Emailing, browing user.

Coming up for V2.4.1 by tomorrow;)

No difference. But, you may consider flashing V2.4.1 with updated drivers from official base Leo 2.14 and some fixes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Thanks friends:)

Thanks for those suggestions. I'll definitely take the better opinions.

The messaging client i have used was the latest version. Let me try getting back to the 1.8 version AGAIN, which i have used before in my previous versions;)

I have done some modifications with opera in 2.4.1. Lemme know later;)

I don't have any issues with my both HD2s, with Nokia 16Gb class2 card & SanDisk 16 Gb class2 card. Try formatting again in fat32 format with default allocation size.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joe_coolish:
yes, I've experienced those things happening. In my cases, almost every instance of that happening is because I had an application (usually HTC Facebook or email) that is using the radio to d/l lots of data and the radio usage has a higher priority than the unlock (?). Usually I just go crazy pressing the hardkeys for a while until the unlock pops up. Then I either kill all the tasks, put the phone into airplane mode, or do a soft reset. But it is because of applications that I'm running (almost positive)

I've also read that it could be because of the crappy stock 16gb SD card... Haven't replaced mine yet, so idk if that is why :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
Follow kumar's suggestion or you could also try formatting your sd card with the phone's format tool. You could also try a task 29 before flash. It could be a bad flash or your sd card has issues. Because i can use mine perfectly fine and mine's the default 8gb card that htc provided. (probably the worst there is) hahahaha :D

Thanks kumar! :D Great work nevertheless. I have no idea which version is the latest, but i noticed the one included in premium msvc 2.4 is v 1.5 build 2016.1721 and the one in the other thread is v 1.8 build 2016.1228/2015.xxxx i'm not sure whether is there a difference between those two builds (2015 and 2016) haven't personally tested the cabs from there. The messaging client included in yours is fine, but personally i find that it couldn't really handle fast input especially it always skips the spaces. Not sure whether it is the same case for you and other users. But you should make the decision ;) Hope it's not too much work for you, and since ultimately it's your ROM. :) Regarding opera it's nice to hear you've made some modifications to it! I think it's gonna be super! :D See that the thread title has been changed to v 2.4.1 [SOON] already! Thanks for your dedication and hard work! Cheers bro! :D

edit: i noticed a minor graphic glitch (the phone dialer option at the bottom middle screen overlaps the All People softkey bro! Doubt it affects the performance and function of phone though! Heard it happens in some other roms too! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] abs99:
skr_xd - thanks for the responses and considering my requests, very much appreciated, I'll await your next version, especially interested in a "lite" version that eliminates Sense and best for SPB Mobile shell.

joe_coolish - I'll have to see if I can figure out what might be causing this intermittent lockup problem. I am a fairly heavy user, and I do have a good range of apps installed, but in terms of applications running at the time this happens, I think I only have the following:

Active Sync for Exchange sync

Windows Live for Hotmail e-mail sync

SPB Mobile Shell (latest version 3.5.5)

Task Manager (usually either TaskFacade or MMTask)

I do install the File Explorer enhancements and also the Save File enhancements although I've used these on other devices without any problems. I am also still using the OEM T-Mobile 16gb memory card. All of my installs go to system memory . . .

I really can't figure out what is causing this but I have noticed lower frequency of lockup on 2.4 beta versus earlier builds. How is your device configured, perhaps we are both running same application to cause the issue?

great rom no problem so far but I really wonder although you remove many stuff from rom why it has 153mb free space? it should be almost 180mb :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Thanks for the feedback. Let us know how it goes in long term;)

Thanks. But, there are some additions like E-reader,Doc,manila Tv and facebook tabs along with Google maps and other programs which takes a lot of space. Still, i'll try to remove some unnecessary files (not programs/features iam telling about)to have more space in upcoming ROMs. Count on them;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] abs99:
I think there was some issue resolved in 2.07 for 6.5.x builds - you may want to check it out.

I suspect my issue is related to the task managers I've been using - I've decided to only use the built-in task manager from skr_xd and the one that comes with Mobile Shell (mapped to my hard key) to see if the issue resolves. The funny thing is that with 2.2 build this was happening at least 1x/day (and had MMTask installed), now with 2.4 build and only TaskFacade installed it's only happened 1x in the last week or so. If I still can replicate the problem with the task managers removed, then I will test the Hou Ming software as a possible culprit, although to your point, those additions have always worked well for me in the past.

It would help if anyone else has been using either TaskFacade or MMTask and can report if they have seen any random lock-ups.

So far excellent performance is a little quicker i think, and thanks for the books in the e-reader Tab:)

what happened to the nice dialer tho? or did i install that by mistake :eek:

One thing , I downloaded the first link you posted with MSVC, but no msvc on this one? It doesn't matter to me as i dont use it but maybe the files are mixed up?

overall an excellent release, Thankyou Kumar.
