Hi, liking your rom a lot compared to some of the others on here at the moment and would suggest a few items that you could put in your next release.

I have uploaded a nice picture that displays well on the manilla desktop, start menu and especially the lockscreen. I have a few more pictures but this is one of my favourites

Pimbackup to backup your contacts, it also keeps the pictures and favourites on there and good for a quick restore for people when they want to update your rom and restore without much messing about.

a swype keyboard that works fine which i have attached

View attachment Swype-LordYuz-3.9.10.10.5032.CAB

Could you possibly put in Palringo, its a instant messaging client for msn, yahoo facebook aim icq all in one program. You need to register a account with it but good thing is that it saves all login details whenever you upgrade a rom and need to login so less messing about in the long run.

last 2 are 18 button actionbar

, mortscript is needed for the actionbar but can be found here

and a task manager ie arkswitch

Thx Stu

Thank you again and Testing the Ng merlion Rom ...

thanks star, I will link your post to the download section.

not for RC. I'm contemplating which one to use. Anybody has any specific preference?

I might leave it as is for the 'official' release.

tbh, I like the rounded icon set but at the same time also hate them,

cos they r nice but once u installed other 3rd party app e.g. google map,

it will look inconsistent with the stock rounded icons in the quick start menu

there are 242 round icons for you to choose and replace the non round icons

I concur; there are many tasks managers available out there to pick and choose to suit one's preference. It is easy enough to self-install our preferred task manager. (Incidentally, Arkswitch is also my favourite).

P.S. ZenkinZ, thanks for the 2nd download site; downloading now and will flash later.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
thanks to all for your concerns, really appreciate that. my dad has finally gotten out of the critical conditino, and is now embarking a long journey of rehab, especially considering the severity of the stroke he had gotten.

nevertheless, v1.80 should be released in a day or two time. (v1.82 was meant to differentiate the first version of v1.80 I've build a week ago from the one you will be getting, but I've decided to keep it as v1.80 for the public release)

it'll basically have the latest Leo 2.13 driver & package, but the windows mobile build I've decided to keep to 23568 (instead of 23569) for better performance/stability reason.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] oceania:
hi bro, tat's excellent news :) Do take good care of your dad so that he will recover faster. Take care of yourself too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Yup....take it easy.

Take your time, no rush.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Hey bro ...

So glad to hear from you.

Glad to hear that things are looking up for your dad. So did he do a bypass or something?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Always great to hear good news & glad that things are looking up, zenkinz bro! No hurry on the ROM...though u can be sure I'll be contributing with my humble donation again! : )

excellent. patiently waiting
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
iirc the risk of having strokes occurs after a bypass surgery, not before. U dun usually do bypass after a stroke.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Har??!! Is it??!!

Then do bypass for what? Or rather when would a bypass be suggested to be done?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
When people become old their coronaries get blocked by cholestrol, a bypass surgery as the name suggests is used to bypass the clogged arteries to supply blood to the areas of the heart whose supply is clogged. they use veins taken from different parts of the body for this purpose.

A stroke can be caused by different ways... any thing which can cause blood to coagulate in the body can cause a stroke when a piece from that coagulated part breaks off (called an embolus) then goes on to block an artery in the brain. This block causes brain cells to die and give the symptoms of a stroke.

The so called embolus can be formed from a deep vein thrombus, it can happen to anyone, especially old people, when they sit in one place for a long time which causes the blood in their veins to coagulate and then all it takes is one piece to break off and cause a stroke. This is probably what happens when you see an old person get off a plane and then drop dead after some time. That is why they always advise you to move your legs after every half an hour in a plane. The embolus can also be formed from an atherosclerosing artery, a blocked coronary can also give rise to a hyper coagulable state and then cause a thrombus which leads to an embolus. an arrhythmia can also cause a stroke...

again an embolus can kill you in many ways if not treated promptly... if it reaches the lungs then it can cause a part of the lung to collapse and die due to no blood supply, blocking a coronary artery can cause a heart attack, and blocking an artery in the brain can cause a stroke.

Wouldn't a patient be on blood thinners after a bypass surgery? so how can that cause a stroke? a stroke before a bypass is more likely... i.e, if the stroke was initially caused an embolus from a blocked coronary!

Hope that answers both your questions guys! I'm a Med student. lol

@Zenkinz, I pray that your dad makes out of this ordeal in no time! wish you and your family the best of luck and best of health!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
Haha, I'm no med student. I'm just stating something a doc told me. :D

And with the power of the INTERNET, maybe here's some food for thought? :D

But don't take it from me, I'm no DOC. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
nice info.... wow I did not know they actually cooled the person down for a bypass, maybe America has new innovative ways of performing the surgery... but the traditional works cuz the brain cannot compromise any deficit of oxygen above 3 mins or so.. from the top of my head I thought they would just attach him to a heart lung machine and take the heart out side and perform the bypass and later on reattach it back.. the coolest part being when they reattach the aorta, the blood spurts out and goes pretty high cuz of the force of contraction. Thanks for the info though had they taught everything in my bachelors then there would be no use of doing Masters or any post grad degree! lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] d75ck:
New Rom, will give it a test... thanks :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
v1.80 is out

key changes

Updated OEM drivers and Leo EXT packages to v2.13 (from TMOS HD2)

Optimize Windows Mobile Kernel (clean up unnecessary files + registry tweak)

should be more stable than v1.70, and as fast if not faster.

PS: And thanks for the wonderful medical explanation. ;)

Possible to have a cab to switch Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese Input ?

Hi, zenkinz...I will continue to pray and hope that your father has a speedy recovery. I know how exactly you feel...coz I have an 85 year old daddy too. That's why I moved back to Hong Kong from the States to take care of him and mom.

Anyway, I would like to thank you for the great rom...while I mostly speak and write in English, I do know how to read and write Chinese, ie. Traditional Chinese. Therefore, I am just wondering if there is a cab so that I can change the handwriting from Simplified to Traditional Chinese. Thank you for your attention. My prayers are with your daddy and your family. take care.

mail with attachment problem

Thank you Zen for the great Rom and hope your father will get beter and beter!:)

Now i face a question for reciving my gmail from pushmail system.i don't know if it happen before with this rom.

Everytime i get someone's mail with file name of traditional chinese words, the file's name will become some kind of alien words.

i can't open it even i know it is a word or excell file.Someone pleaes help me:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
Try this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6493125&postcount=53

This is the only CHT supported chinese support pack that I found... I am flashing my phone as I am typing this so cannot test it for you (but I did install this once.. but forgot on which ROM and what I noticed, but I did see traditional characters.. but maybe you can try sogou's input or the one provided by baidu and see if it has an option to change the input format to CHT.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
hey!

can you see the extension of the attachment or does it show up as an unknown file format? It happens with my a lot (but the common factor is not traditional characters.. it gives something like UNKNOWN_PARAMETERS and there is no extension.. the only way to counter this problem is by clicking and holding the link and then click save as... change the name of the file and then add the correct extension in the name (.doc .. if its a document file... .docx if its office 2007) then save the file where ever you want. and open from there.

I have no idea why many attachments behave this way.... but I just know the fix... try this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mhwlee:
Hi, Osama Shah...I will try out the CHT cab later tonite. thanks..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
@mhwlee

I checked the Chinese forums and they said that if you have the CHT fonts or database available then any input software can help you type it... The CHT cab that I linked you to comes with a transcriber for inputting.. dunno if there is a keyboard. A good input keyboard as I said before is from sogou which you can find here

hey man, ur roms are gooooood... i've recently flashed 1.70 and it's really fast and snappy compared to the stock 1.66 singtel rom i was using. However, there are times when i tried to access the programs button or start tab to access the programs page, it will hang for as long as 5 secs or till i soft reset the phone...

Hi, Osama Shah, thank you..actually, I installed the cab you gave me yesterday and it works great. I do not know how to type Chinese using the keyboard...I just use the handwriting part.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
it has to do with the extendir. *.vol won't be able to restored and according to the extendir developer, he's aware of the problem but he's not putting this on high priority, and I agree with him because I think there's better way to restore data back to our device than just restoring the vol files. Use PIMbackup or MS Myphone to restore messages/pim data.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] theory_87:
ok... PIMBackup is quite laggy after backup and Myphone is not very user friendly (the website). Will try the sync with outlook.

A few small problems

Hi Guys,

No answer to following things. Anyone have any ideas thanks.

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???

Hangs easily after restoring SMS & Call History

I installed 1,80, everything went fine until i restore my SMS (500s) and Call History (300s) from Jeyo Companion, it hangs immediate when i tried to access the messages or write a new one...

Anyone experiencing this, it did not happen when i was on the older versions....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gbhero:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kenkiller:
maybe something to do with the extendir problem mentioned in the previous page?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Osama Shah:
to all the people whose rom feels lagging after a backup.. its cuz your phone is sequencing your messages and contacts after you backup. the best way is to keep it on charging (so that the screen is switched on and does not go into standby) and keep the message inbox open, and then let it be that way for around 5 to 10 minutes and then perform a soft reset. your phone will be quick and blazing after that. It just needs time to catalogue or sequence or whatever the term you would like to call it (index?) your data.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
exactly. thanks for helping to explain it.

Hi! i've been merlion user since 1.50 ver, (the 2nd day i bought my HD2). it's really a good rom! thanks to the author!

1. i'd just flashed 1.80 last night and everything seems to going fine until this morning when i received a call, it totally hanged and i've waited for it to continue running but only suceeded once or twice (for the whole day today!) hence, i (pen-reset) each time after i receive one call. This even cause to unable to make outgoing calls also...

2. the lock screen didn't showed up when i want to unlock the phone, only the bottom buttons lights glow but the screen just blank!! but after a while the screen came back and everything went fine... then when i'm testing to make a call the keypad just wouldn't appeared, even if it appears, it hangs after i press 1st key or 2nd key, luckly the home button still works, but now the phone button won't... (i'd tried using another phone to call my phone, it still won't accept calls only the bottom buttons are glowing...)

3. this happens after i inserted my sim card

anyone has any idea what's going on? or did anyone experiencing this situation?

thks!

i think i might found the minor solution for this sms overload problem...

this morning i started to delete my old sms (over 3k++ of sms...aiks,sorry), the same i'm posting this i'm still deleting sms from my phone as i'd just backup from pimbackup last night after i reflash 1.80, the deleting seems to be slowly getting faster (deleting thread of course) and at first i need to soft reset the phone each time i delete (waited for around 3~5 mins), now still can delete 3~5 sms threads and it's been half an hour since i'd last soft reseted!

so u guys out there might need to try to delete ur very sms(s) and see how it goes....

tune in again later this evening as i'm coming to about 1/5 of my loaded sms!

Strange icon, bottom middle of screen.

Hi Guys,

Running v1.70

Have a strange icon at bottom of screen, between the 2 soft buttons.

Looks like a small mobile phone, with a triangle above.

If I touch it, the triangle toggles between pointing up and pointing down, but doesnt appear to do anything else.

It stays on top of all other screens, but other than block the view of what is below, doesnt interfere with other screens (ie if a button under the icon, the button still works)

If I reset, it goes away, but comes back at some stage . Not sure what I do to bring it back.

Any ideas??
