Marketplace cab file

another one....if this one fails I am out of cabs lol:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
v1.70 has been uploaded to rapidshare. upload to 4shared is in progress. edit: 4shared link is up now too.

apart from the reported changes made to v1.70 (see below), one thing you should take note, that I've removed OOBE package, but like your feedback if you like to have it back in the next release. More about OOBE will be posted in next post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
ok more about OOBE, which has been removed in v1.70, and may be re-instated depending on your feedback.

OOBE, stands for Out of Box Experience, is a package made by HTC to simplify the user setup experience with a series of setup step by step screens when your HD2 first boot up. If you recall in previous Merlion ROM, and official HTC ROM, you will get the setup screens like Date/Time setup, Google Location service setup, mail/social network account setup, etc, in the first boot.

I reckon this setup is meaningless if you have scripts or backup/cabs that would automatically restore your accounts, etc. However, a couple of things you should take note since OOBE no longer runs

if after bootup, you see a pop up screen "Connection Setup", and subsequently it disappear and you see the manila screen instead, just tap on the hardware start button, and the "Connection Setup" screen will be restored.

"My Location" weather will not download the weather at the location you are in by default until you enable google location service for weather manually. You can do so by going to the weather tab, click on right soft key "menu", and select "Enable My Location".

Yes, there's abit of manual steps / glitches during the first boot, but this is just one time thingy, and it will save you a few MB. Some may say that our HD2 has plenty of storage space, so what's the big deal.

I guess I'm just trying to optimize the ROM (that's what we do anyway), but if it's at the expense of user experience (although in this case, its only initial), I would usually not do it. I like your feedback here, before determining if I should re-instate the package in future releases.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
think it's a problem on office side. Tap on the task bar (left hand side), it will bring up MMTaskmanager. Tap on left soft key "Menu", and select "Show All processes". Scroll down the list and select the item that has excel process. Tap on the "X" button to kill the process.

btw, in case you are installing filmscope because igv is not working. I want to say the latter is working well with Merlion NG.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Actually ... how many MB are we saving here?

Also ... I even accidentally activate a menu on the top of the screen ... which show icons like sound .... connection manager ... etc.

But everytime after I want to try again .... I can't get it back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wesleyho:
yep, manage to find the 'pxl.exe' and kill it.

flashing 1.70!! Thx Zen! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HTCHDHK:
Hi Zenkins, would it be possible to make CHT rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomguyz:
bro, one question when i replace ur operator logo the logo gone missing..... is this is normal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tonz22:
no problem for me, i replace starhub with singtel logo , use totalcommander or resco explorer to copy 256X64.png replace the old file in windows/

this is a new singtel logo for who use singtel mobile.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Downloading right now, and my humble donation once again sent, bro!

Transaction ID: 10997639TD225691Y :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lollypop:
I'm sorry but is there anyway that i can restore to the original icons?

as in the shortcuts icons that appear in Manila?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
I contacted Filmscope developer he said it is because OEM ID was changed by the rom cooker...I don't wanna flash a stock rom though...can you get me an original stock oem id cab or something like that register key...dunno?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
That can't be....I'm on 1.70 now....worked on 1.65 too.

Tried requesting for a cab direct from the dev?

Anyway, are you trying to locate it from outside Singapore? Not all apps show up even if you choose the location as Singapore. That might be the reason.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
i know my rom outdated lol....but dont wanna change because hard to put all back like i want now unless I get a backup app....sktools, resco or sbp? which one is better?

but I need do a reset anyway cos I messed up the bluetooth, so better get the new rom. If I do backup of all files will replace the good bluetooth files on new rom? :)

Maybe you right...yes I am outside Singapore...the app was suggested by a Singaporean friend...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
It ain't the rom in this case. Last time I tried to dl updated Facebook from US region. Cannot find via marketplace even though this was with the updated marketplace that allowed region selection.

Turns out even if u select the correct region you ain't guaranteed to find it. You need to be physically there as well. Besides, Filmscope is specifically made for local cinema schedules....not that useful for you.

iirc backup apps ain't that recommended. XDA_UC in this rom facilitates reinstallation of apps. For contact/sms/calender stuff I use Myphone....works good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jassmun:
Me too, I love your ROMs but I want to restore the icons to original.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
First, you've gotta find a pack of the original icons.

Then you can use CSMI or JWMD icon changers to change those icons back individually.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bouya_k:
Waouw

Installed your rom this morning

Very very fast like a lot

wonderfull work !!!!!!

Little one

I have a logo for my operator but I'm not familiar with product to edit image.... Can somebody do the attached image with transparent background ?

Thanks a lot !!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
bro zenkinz, I'm on 1.70 now... simply AWESOME!

Just a slight glitch though... camera flash refuses to be enabled... :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Just flashed to v1.70 this morning.

Yes, very fast.

New icon for sms .... NICE!!

Also .... after I have flashed .... I "sashimi-ed" my phone .... and everything went smoothly.

So easy!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tonz22:
try this..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Strangely, no such problems on mine...flashing is really a game of chance. :(

Previously I also reported mtoolbox to have problems, so I tested it immediately after flashing. It worked fine. However, after installing apps with XDA_UC, it failed.....really hard to narrow down what is the problem...so leave it be since mtoolbox not used at all.

But camera flash does seem to be rather important. Does it work on a hard reset?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
I only just discovered it... wouldn't wanna HR at this point in time. I hope zenkinz has a cab to correct this though.

mtoolbox also doesn't work for me... :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xunus:
i'm on 1.70 now. Having problem with HTC messaging, it won't change to landscape mode. Anyone know about this?

CURRENT DEVICE

Leo

Current ROM:[WWE+CHS]Merlion NG Leo v1.70 ★23568★SENSE.2012★BASE.2.11★XDA_UC

Current Radio:2.10.50.28.02
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wesleyho:
:confused:I also encounter camera flash problem when on 1.65. After a few soft and hard reset, camera light just wont flash. Guess what ? I just shake the device and sudd the light on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Yeah....but seeing how it worked on a fresh flash, and only after installing stuff then it failed, and looking at the long list of stuff I've installed with XDA_UC.....heheh....gonna be headache for zenkinz to narrow down what's the problem with mtoolbox....luckily no problems with flash. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] slo_mo:
Hi All,

Been trying this ROM since yesterday and I like it a lot. Thanks to

bro dZenkinZ for this :D.

Slight problem though, I cant change StarHub icon on START menu.

Tried all method I know and only this icon cannot change.

.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
And you know what? I actually did what you did - shaked my Leo and VOILA! the flash works again! LOL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I am on 1.70 now also.

My HTC Messaging is able to auto rotate to landscape mode.

Think you wanna check again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] slo_mo:
Hi, Is there a CHTEditor that can work on this ROM. I tried my old

cab and also download a new one but both giving me error.

.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] theory_87:
I had no probelm using CHT 1.7.1 Editor
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomguyz:
I'm now with 1.70 and it look great .... but the mtoolsbox still giving me some problem .... it works in the start but after few installation then it having problem.... but so far it work fine for me .... great work
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
Yeah...after reading our cooker reply it became clear that region was the issue here. The widget dwveloper told me that it only covered the spore cines although he allowed me to have a link to try it out and now I am green with envy coz it is really cool. :D

Dude you just made me not flash a rom now.....I really hate to have to install all my apps, insert keys all over again, patch, hack, registe keys, crack, download, skinning, replacing manila files, etc... you name it...it is time consuming lol...I really need a new rom now but everytime I think about those things I just give up...I will wait for a rom with no bugs so I can have the last flash until I get a new phone in a year+...

PS. Green of envy coz HTC Evo Sprint SIMPLE BECAUSE IT HAVE EVERYTHING MISSING/I WANTED IN LEO...frontal camera 1.3mp, 1GB internal ram, kick stand, better battery, on top of that it has a 8mp main camera, 7.2 HD video recording, 4G, WiMAX, hotspot up to 8 users...3.5 mic ontop, etc....the only phone Can say beats my HD2 fair and square....oh well I better flash a ROM soon. I will check again later to see if there is a cab for the flash bug. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
WTH? XDA_UC helps us get back to speed quickly after a reflash. You high on anything? :D

I'm not having any camera flash bug.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] slo_mo:
I manage to get CHTEditor running, Now I would like to ask if anyone

tried to change the theme of this ROM, so far I couldn't change the

StarHub icon on the start menu, only this icon can't be changed?

.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Yes ... I agree with you.

I just flashed to v1.70 .... partly because I just got "Sashimi" and I just want to see how it works.

So I flashed to v1.70 and activated the "Sashimi" .... Wow!! Whatever programs I want on the phone memory .... is installed on the phone memory .... and whatever I want to install on the microSD ..... goes there also.

Not bad.

I know that there are alot other customization that can be done on "Sashimi" but because I don't install much 3rd party program ... so didn't explore it.

Perhaps you could check out "Sashimi" also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
High??? nah hahaha just need sleep....XDA_UC is that the AutoInstal folder thing?

Hmm...no bug for you but few reported it will wait for more feedbacks...but I will certainly flash the rom this week. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
Thanks for sharing...I will give it a go and see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Hope that all is well with bro zenkinz... he posted on Twitter that ur has some personal emergency to attend to atm, so has to either halt or slow down Merlion NG development for the time being...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomguyz:
Do any facing before that I have a problem on making a call with speaker on. So far I face the problem once, my phone get hang. so I need to open up the battery and start agian ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sambaxxx:
I instaled your rom hi is great, but my flesh on camera not working.Can U help me.

Thks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Yah ... my flash is also not working.

But heard that bro Zenkinz got some emergency to attend to.

Hopefully everything is ok for him.

So meanwhile, have to bear with this "without flash" bug.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] theory_87:
Wield. My flash is working fine. But i prefer the force flash to always light up rather than lighting up upon click on the shuttle button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ssseeel:
Using 1.7 with GTX installed. Camera flash works well. The 'send' button in messaging is now in chinese. Anyone have this problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I just tried again this morning ... the flash worked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xunus:
Yeah, my 'send' button in messaging is also in chinese.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
What is GTX?

Which "send" button?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] robinkyh:
hmm...i am another singapore HTC HD2 user..wish to ask...when we sign with starhub for HTC HD2, they actually free us Dinner Dash and guitar hero...but its gone after format the SD card...any method to get it back? same with starhub TV apps also....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xunus:
If i'm not wrong, its the GTX Sense. This is the send button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Both using GTX theme?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Ah...no wonder....u guys using BSBTweaks to add that button there right?

I dun think zenkins thought of u guys doing that.....the Send button on the bottom right is always in english. But the one added using BSBTweaks is something different.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ssseeel:
never use BSBTweaks to add that button. Anyway to get it back to english?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
there is no flash bug....when the battery goes below 20% flash turns off automatically, just recharge your mobile to above 20% and you'll be fine.

I got a question for you guys,I'm using smaberg's rom and he does not have thee chinese nls file.soo chinese support is not available throughout the rom..installing a separate file takes care of it in most places except google maps...can someone do me a favor and go to google maps and search for china and then search for something in china and let me know if you see chinese characters in the pop up menu and the list of addresses cuz I see boxes here when I search for addresses..I found this problem in a friend's asian official rom too and am inclined to think that the problem could be with google maps..so please let me know your experience...p.s I am using google maps4.1...

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
That's strange....mine doesn't have that button unless I turn it on in BSBtweaks.

You can remove it via Graphics->Manila Send Button in bsbtweaks. The bottom left button will still work fine for sending the message. Of course, if you insist on having that button then you'll have to wait for zenkins for a solution.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
It's a ROM problem, Google Maps chinese works fine on Zenkin's :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
guys, things will take a slower pace, as my dad just got a stroke so more time will be spent with him now although I'm still working on the rom (e.g. i just steal an hour to put 2.13 and 23569 build into merlion ng) just not as fast pace as you seen before or as any other chef
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
Zenkz, take care and pray your dad has a speedy recovery. ROM updates can wait!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] theory_87:
hi, do take care... family is more important...

btw, this rom is perfecy except for one bug. i can't save number frm sms. the work around for now is dial the number and save it from the call history
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Take your time...Family matters most....this rom is pretty much perfect for me at this point. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Hmmm...works for me. Go into the sms thread, Menu, Save to People, New contact...enter name, done.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wesleyho:
me too, no problem at all to save via sms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Bro, we can wait.... ROMs can wait too. Here's to a quick recovery for your dad!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dejazz:
Get well soon, for your DAD

Sorry to hear about your dad. Most important thing now is take care of him.

We can wait. We hope he'll get well soon.

May God bless all of you........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] slo_mo:
Take your time bro, family more important. Hope your Dad recovers soon.

Dun worry about us, you've left us with a very fine ROM.

.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] qazokm123:
Hopez your dad get well soon .!

Am using 1.51, HD2 still strong going.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Funny ... my "send" button is the "back" button on the picture you posted.

And I don't have the button with the chinese wording.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dualshoc:
bro, hope your dad will have a speedy recovery...slo_mo is right...you've left us with a superb ROM so no worries...all the best
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Hey bro,

Sorry to hear that.

Please take care.

Like what other bro said .... ROM can wait .... and your v1.70 is very fantastic already.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oceania:
Take care bro... family comes first.

God bless and wish your dad a speedy recovery :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lollypop:
Speedy recovery to yr dad.

I do have a small problem here:

1. My MSN (running on data connection) will auto log out after a while of idling.

2. No matter how i tweak (BSB tweaks or HD2 tweaks), the 'WiFi stand-by cannot be activate.

3. How do i set the 'X' button to min instead of close app?

i need help as i always need to be online 24/7 in my MSN.

& for the Wifi, every time phone goes sleep mode, Wifi d/c
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tonz22:
for wi-fi try to use this app : WiFinostandby
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
1. That's a MSN problem. Suggest use some other app that allows MSN.

3. Search for AMEBA.

Also, just for Zenkin's info, landscape mode for GMXT doesn't seem to work....it basically cuts GMXT mode into a square screen, as if rotating it changes the screen to a WM Standard screen, with the remaining part of the screen garbage. Not sure if this is just me..... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] qazokm123:
It is the same for MapKing2k7 with B2bTweak-Rotate.

SquareScreen.

Anyone cant pinch to zoom in opera 9 landscape mode? I am facing this problem, when i am running opera mobile 10, my native opera 9 cant boot up as well
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Pinch to zoom works fine in landscape.

OM10 has memory issues. Last time I tried it, it made the camera app fail to load up constantly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cpum:
can´t download your new 1.70 version, maybe the link is broken....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Moby58:
After a couple of simple fixes (I hope)

Hi guys,

Have installed v1.70 and almost all is working fine.

Just a couple of small probs, that someone may have an answer to.

1) Think I have the wrong available photos on memory card thing. 16gig card, with some stuff, shows room for over 22,000 pics, with camera set to 5mp. Seems a bit high. Tried the HTC Official fix, but 'wont install on my ROM version'. Any ideas??

2) Trying to install a GPS program (Manilla GPS Tracker). You install main program, turn off Manilla from the Today screen, install the fix, reboot, and reenable Manilla. How do I temporarilly disable Manilla in this ROM?

3) When the phone is asleep, and a reminder goes off, there is the audio, but the only visual clue is the alarm clock in the top bar. I then have to touch the top bar, Then touch REMINDERS to fiinally see what the reminder is. I am sure that on my old Touch HD, the reminder popped up on the screen, and then I could select dismiss, or snooze options. Anyway of getting this back, or is always gonna be 3 or 4 actions???

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mhwlee:
FM radio stop working since I flashed 1.7

can anyone give me some suggestion or help to bring back my FM radio function. Since I flashed 1.7, my FM radio only gives out a "hisssing " sound but with good reception as shown in the screen. Any suggestions ? thank you in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I just tried.

The radio signal is very bad but can still manually tuned to the channel I want.

But since I don't use HD2 for radio .... so didn't bother me.

Great news peeps! zenkinz may be releasing v1.82 this weekend!

Great ROM, thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
That is great .... but how is his dad?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
zenkinz bro doesn't update in Twitter often, so I'm not sure... but I am sure that higher powers have been watching over his Dad, him & his family well. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thec00l:
great to see a wonderful app done by fellow singaporean. =))

just a question can we change the starhub logo to singtel as im using singtel =x

thanks..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nikomomo:
there's a link to the logos on the first page. use total commander (included with Rom) to cut n paste the logo into \windows. hope tis helps!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thec00l:
alright.. thanks alot for the prompt reply =)

btw.. After locking the screen using CHT lockscreen, the top taskbar seems to overlap the top taskbar in the home screen istead of clearing the home screen top taskbar.

cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Hey zenkinz, just flashed your rom for the first time and first impressions are very good :D I'm liking your unique icons and the general feel of it. Also the little gsm provider logo at the top is pretty cool :D. If your interested, I made a couple of versions for T-mobile, v1 is the whole logo with the writing, v2 is just the 'T'

I made them as cabs as it wasnt letting me replace the files in windows.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sev7en:
