Yes, you will need to run mtty to be able to run task 29. The order is:

1. Put phone into bootloader mode (press volume down button while pressing reset button).

2. Connect to pc using usb cable and ensure usb is showing in white are of phone screen.

3. Start mtty and connect to usb link.

4. Type the following: Set 14 0 <task 29 <RETURN> Tas

k 8 <RETURN> (as you press return for task 8 unplug your usb cable while at the same time pressing volume down).

5. Reconnect usb cable when the bootloader screen appears and make sure usb shows in the while section (it may take a few seconds).

6. Unzip the rom file and the customruu.exe file into the same directory.

7. Run customruu.exe. This will flash the rom and will take about 5 minutes (you get a %age countdown on the screen).

8. When it reaches 100% the phone will re-boot.

9. As soon as the re-boot starts hold down both the up and down volume keys together, this will bring you to a hard reset screen at which point press the volume up button and let the system hard reset (you'll need to press volume up again to re-boot).

10. Job done.....

battery

@steve

i installed your slider Black Manbo IV on another rom, a rom with very good battery management (3-4% drop in 8 hours standby)

in the next 1-2 hours my battery drop with 7-8%

is it poosible that your slider to affect battery life also in elegancia rom, or i am just seeing things?

thank you!

As usual- look first at all the sticky ones on this forum..

1. HSPL,SSPL etc. - you need to decide what suits you. If your phone is under warranty by TMO be aware HSPL may revoke it.. You need to unlock it anyways , even for SSPL (and don't confuse SIM unlock with phone unlock- have to read about that too).

2. Radio- Most ROMs will not be compatible with 2.xx.51.xx radios. I can't tell you which is better between them all. It is 'try on skin' thing. Good reception is almost always opposite to battery life, and it depends on service provider, tower settings, etc.

3. COM2,5 : Two distinct developing groups, releasing WM6.5.x codes periodically. A matter of taste. Com2 ROMS are 21xxx and COM5 are 23xxx. There are also 23xxx and 28xxx that are from other developer groups, but they are not as quick to release as the others. COM2 are more conservative and stable (but boring) and COM5 are more leading edge, but sometimes buggy.

4. Chefs: A matter of taste. There are many talented ones, and obviously, being on Elegancia, Steve and Miri are two very talented ones. I am currently on their V8 from today, and impressed by it. You have to try few until you get the chef that cooks as close as possible to your needs. Parameters that matter is how much work you need to invest after flashing. With this ROM, I had to do very little, and i was pretty happy with performance 'out of box'.

5. How much XDA Junkie you will become - the more you visit this forum the more you get influenced and try. I am a 5 star junkie. Can't stop flashing even with a perfect ROM on the phone (V8 is one of those, BTW)

So welcome aboard..

Hi Miri&Steve, im having a problem with the weather widget, everytime i try and update my weather status it either gives me an error connecting or no weather data available. any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samuel clarke:
Why not use Rapidshare for the rom downloads?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BigE:
allow location service

Try this:

Setting.>location setting-> improve location. Also- soft reset. Sometimes the GRPS/3G service is the cause for the problem..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BigE:
100M limit

Maybe because Rapidshare allows only 100M files? Maybe because it cost 56 Euro per year for decent upload speeds? Don't get me wrong, i wish it was not on Hotfile too. They suck unless you pay 9.95/month. then they are great. it is on purpose.. Free good service is bad for business..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] quanics:
weather status

Did you go to the weather icon, and choose " enable location "
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] merk_maniak:
Still no go for weather. Hmm. Soft Reset x3, I Task 29/Flashed Twice. Tried the improve location (box was already ticked) Even went as far as to go out on my balcony to see if i could get a better connection.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] merk_maniak:
Weather still not working. It was working fine in 7.7, now it just won't give me any weather :confused: Could it be the 2.13 Base Rom w/ the 2.10 Radio? I know 7.7 was using 2.11 Base.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Did you enabled the location in weather tab/Menu/enable ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] merk_maniak:
Yes that was the first thing i did. Even adding my city as a location and trying to retrieve the weather it still fails. Im lost :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
So you don't get data connection?

Go to Settings tab, wireless controls, 3G, does it work, if not it will bring you to set up your internet connection, select automatically... wait 10s.

Restart and see if it works
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] merk_maniak:
Problem solved! The 3G button was unchecked for some reason? i ticked it to enable 3g, soft reset and now my weather is working again. Anybody else having problems im guessing the preset for the ROM is set to Non 3g. So if you're on 3g make sure you check that setting. Thank you for everbody's help :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] merk_maniak:
Haha just as you posted it i was in the process. Thank you steve&miri for this perfect rom :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] merk_maniak:
Just realized that the 3g button only makes it to "auto" mode. NOt sure what checking and unchecking that did but it fixed the weather :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] x-mann:
Weather working for me, This rom works faster then older 1 as i can spot, UI still is very good and beautiful, rest we gona see tomorow,

Thanx steve !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Guys, i also get good battery life like quanics.

I don't think the slider creates pb with battery, since i am getting a good battery life, at least better than stock rom, and the slider is only few QTC Manila files, same size as stock files.

First thing you should look at is the Radio...Try several until you happy.

Then I would advise you do 2 battery cycles (let it drop to 0% by itself, charge 100%, and do this cycle again).

And finally, Arkswitch. Just unistall it from Settings/remove and see if it improves your battery life :)

bug?

enabled the seconds hands on the analog clock. it works until lock screen the first time. after that the hand is not moving until soft reset. both standard lock screen and new style.cause it.. anyone noticed that? I must have screen locked, and I really likes the hand moving.. :(

Hi Steve,

Please be so kind to let me know if any direct link can be avaliable for downloading Elegancia V8. From my side I tried already all possible ways but was able to reach only 7MB. After that downloading stopped. Please if it possible and of course if you can send direct link for your nice ROM.

Thanks in advance.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
1- it will use GSensor. Yes you will not see the nice flow on Music and albums.

If there is a way to get it back, just let me know as I am not aware of any solution so far.

2- look around, sure you will find it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
If you know how to make it work, just let me know. I looked around and didn't find the solution :p

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
hoo, hoo, hoo

it's christmas in may:D

what a beautiful rom you have here steve&miri. just flashed it and WOW!!!

i've noticed you didn't take into consideration my suggestion for 3G assigning in wireless control tab. it would be nice, but i can live without it;)

one other - to complete your excelent work, for next releases, maybe you'll skin also the keyboard a little. as it is now it doesn't fit to your rom. just an ideea.

thank you for excelent work!

best regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dunc001:
Steve, great work man! Played with it a lot and very happy so have just sent you a lot of beers (2R608941JA5870402)! Have loaded it on to both of our HD2s now. Strange thing is happening - my phone, which has had many ROMs flashed before is working perfectly. My wife's phone which I have just upgraded ;) to V8 from the original shipped ROM, has exactly the same stuff on as mine but keeps freezing with an empty Home screen (no quicklinks, clock, weather, etc). Sometimes the whole phone freezes and you need to remove battery to resolve, other times hard keys work so you can access start menu and use soft reset. I flashed the latest radio from your first post then ran task 29 before flashing using Shardrak's repack, then flashed V8 and did a hard reset. Any suggestions as to why one is playing up and the other is not? :confused:

Have you seen the Manila Tracker thread in HD2 Themes & Apps by the way? Looks like an essential ingredient for V9...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Try to update to 2.10.50.26 please as it was the one coming with the 2.13 Rom. It works fine here for me
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Hi Noris, sorry mate what was the 3G assigning, i don't recall :p

Keyboard, already in 8.5 changelog :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Hey Man, this is very much appreciated :) We work better drunk :D

Do you both of you have the same Radio ?

Manila Tracker, is that the GPS tab ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
here you are mate

and here:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Ok will see what we can do
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
you are the best:)

thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dunc001:
Yes, both on 2.10.50.26.

Manila Tracker is the GPS tab yes. I've been waiting for days for the release of the V2 in english to give it a try.

The only visual tweak I've made is to the phone dialer - I'm using DJCedric's Black & Blue Dialer as I think it fits better with all the other visual delights in your ROM!

I can also confirm that the latest release of Advance Home Tab works perfectly too.

Finally, did you give any further thought to slightly fading the non-selected slider icons?

Keep up the great work guys. How much further can you go with your ROM...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
I have a suggestion. Flash V8.0 using RomUpdateUtility.exe.

As usual create a folder and add all the files attached here into that folder with V8. Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, it will flash.

Let me know if the Mobile works better

Any link to Advance Home Tab ?

Wonderfull work. I have been testing your rom for allmost one day and i haven't got any problem, only that my location is not working so i added my city and its working.

Nice colours, icons, customizations, ... really grate work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
David, location not working? please enable 3G, run quickGPS and googlemap and try :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
few initial observations:

cookie ME will change some of the beautifull steve's icons ans have some minor bugs - it's a no go for me

that's very strange - this method was advised for Blackstone. i tried myself, as i also have problems with my location, and, weird, somehow it works. but with major flaws - it shows a city that is not even in my country:eek:

one other thing - elegancia rom i definetely much power eater then other roms, maybe twice. but that beauty came for a price, right?

if you steve and miri could find some tweaks for that, then you'll be 1 step closer to the rom's holly grail (no reference to dutty:p)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
Noris, for me no power drain here.

I always advise the following:

First thing you should look at is the Radio...Try several until you happy.

Then I would advise you do 2 battery cycles (let it drop to 0% by itself, charge 100%, and do this cycle again).

And also look into Arkswitch. Just unistall it from Settings/remove and see if it improves your battery life

Or maybe also you have the feeling it drops fast as you spend your time playing with Elegancia, trying music, wifi, bluetooth to see the taskbar icons maybe games :p

HTC Messaging Visual Enhancements

First of all, thanks for such great ROM Steve and Miri. I have tried so many ROMS for my HD2 and once I tried the Elegancia, I have stucked with it. I do have one request for the future. Will it be possible to "colorify" the threaded messaging to show 2 different background shades for the conversation? It seems that you can and have made changes to icons etc... so I thought it might not be too much to ask. But I am not an expert. What do I know :) Thanks again

Is it possible to change the left key on the homepage from phone to contacts and if so how do i go about doing that i've done it before with a different Rom just need to be pointed in the correct direction..

And also again just personal preference is there a way to make the flip clock white with black print, i liked the clock as a std HTC one...

Does this rom use updated graphics drivers? (For example, Chainfire's patch)

Can anyone with a TMOUS HD2 test a game and tell me if it lags (like "Ferrari GT Evolution")?

Is the battery drain issue from the latest WinMo builds fixed? I know EnergyRom has trouble. Also, can the dialer be used? It can't be used properly in EnergyRom.

question

I made a folder called autoinstall on the SD card. Am I supposed to take the files out of their folders or can i just drag the folder with the cab files and xmls in like that?

I ask because i wanted the bottom task bar with with the blue instead of the 4 colors and i got the 4 colors instead. i put the folder there for the blue color.

i simply dragged the folders into the autoinstall folder without taking the files out of their individual folders.

is it supposed to work that way?
