[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
lack of pinch to zoom is the main reason. unless it's already enabled in opera 10?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Totally concur! and I do not think pinch-to-zoom is in Opera 10 yet. :p

will try Merlion NG LEO V1 once I've thoroughly enjoyed your V2.70! lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
if this is indeed the reported bug, then I should have a solution, but will have to wait for a few days to test it as now its start of the week, back to work now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
for those who don't want to wait for the updated ROM, you can download the attached zip file, unzip it, and copy/move the file gwes.exe to \Windows folder. You need to use Total Commander (found in Start Menu > Tools) to do the job.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
1) Cookie is from xda-developers.com.

2) Facebook is app, not site

3) Opera hang, yes the pop up menu does not close, so cannot make any selection. Yes, tapping the back key does close the menu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
1. try the one modified by one of the user, it works for the COM2-based Merlion Leo, so it should work for Merlion NG.

2. Anybody else has login problem with the facebook app? I didn't install app becasue touch.facebook.com works perfectly for me, but if people are facing problem with facebook, I will have to install to investigate

3. Use the gwes solution posted a few post up. I will fix this in the ROM in the next release.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sev7en:
Yep, not yet on that revision. Anyway I am playing since launch that ROM and... it's really fast and stable: I installed a it least 15 applications and I have still 200Mb of free main memory. It's one of best rom I ever tried, congratulations!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fighter_foo:
Hi Zenkinz,

Did you install iGV(i downloaded from marketplace) and manage to get it working?

I got Error

An unexpected error has occurred in iGV.exe

Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Parameter name: index

Details tab

iGV.exe

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Parameter name: index

System.Collections.ArrayList.get_Item(Int32 index)

at iGV.MainForm..ctor()

at iGV.Program.Main()

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
will look into it. it looks like a problem at the iGV backend instead of the ROM compatibility problem.

in the meantime, you can use the filmscope (also found in marketplace) which I find it's more complete (since it is more than just gv)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
ok then, I will monitor the Opera 10 thread, and maybe would focus on upgrading the opera 9.7 to a newer build (from TouchPro2 apparently, and that's only if I can retail pinch to zoom feature)

anyway, thanks for the appreciation/encouragement. This ROM could go even faster as the current version of extendir used does not have cache enabled. So watch out for this ROM development :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yanto1826:
zenkinz.

Do u experience this issue?

Site display distort when using Starhub GPRS

Site display normally when using WiFi .

Latest Opera Build Though..

On Internet Explorer, the fonts also not proportional...

Attached thumbnails for your reference.

Regards

Yanto
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fighter_foo:
Ok cool, thanks for taking time to investigate.

I have filmscope installed as well. Only iGV not working ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
this has to do with the proxy automatically set by the autoconfig.

type opera:config in the opera browser,

go to network (or user pref, can't remember), and look for "enabled proxy for http". set it to unticked. it'll fix it.

btw, v1.10 upload in progress.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
v1.10 is released. check beginning of thread for more information.

next release, probably will add cookie mod.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] espaleena:
Would be better if it remain clean as some may like with cookie mod, max manila or just plain original.

Just my 2cents of thought.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
that's true. will listen for feedbacks more first before deciding. in the meantime, carina77's modification on cookie for Merlion ROM works very well in Merlion NG

click here if you want to use cookie mod and yet retain that operator logo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
sorry I overlooked your feedbacks/request.

Thanks, I will work on a "neutral looking but theme-matching" wallpaper in the next version.

My suggestion is to create a folder in your storage card, copy the PIMBACKUP.EXE to the folder, and you run it after you flash the ROM. There's little benefit to cook it in the ROM since the application is quite standalone and can run alone w/o any additional files.

I've the swype package. But am not cooking it because it takes 17MB, and not many people (including myself) are using it ... however, if there's a demand, I may consider.

Hopefully I would be able to implement UC (USer customisation) feature so that you can have Palringo as one of the app that automatically install for you after a flash.

task manager arkswitch is included now as you probably have realised.

actionbar, I will not include as I'm not a fan of mortscript (for tools/utility purposes like backup/restore, maybe)..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Pichunours:
Hello ZenkinZ,

Very good ROM, thanks a lot:)

I would like to know if it possible to have an "AZERTY" keyboard & a different slider for the next release ?

Thanks,

;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
"AZERTY" keyboard, if you are referring to those third party one, probably not, as I try to keep the ROM to as minimal/oem as possible, although I'm slapping myself in the face with a few third party apps pre-cooked into the ROM.

different slider .. will have to look around.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zigzagzok:
hi

does the rom support japanese characters as well?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Pichunours:
Hello,

I'm not referring to Swype ;)

I would say the stock keyboard on French Official HTC ROM, see hereafter :

And sometimes Arkswith crash...

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mythmanq:
please keep this ROM clean and just WWE + CHS

thanks for the great ROM, its wonderful and fast. I love the fact you keep it clean and speedy.

please keep the ROM with English and CHINESE only. There is not a whole lot of need to have extra stuff on the ROM. If other users want to they can install the other applications, like I do with Microsoft marketplace and Google map, etc.

Thanks,

Max
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Hi,

How is the HTC Messaging? Is it faster than Manila?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
for those who are installing the latest cookiemonster home tab mod, you can replace this file (after you have installed his cab) to keep the operator logo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rasumia:
helo, i realy like the icon sets, but i also want slider with same category. please try if ok for you. and icons are kinda small is it ok to make it kinda bigger with 4 column start menu? thanks for considering....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dearkhunake:
Thank for the great rom.

Your rom is the first mod rom for my Leo and it make me more very happy with my device than the official rom from htc that at least hang once a day.

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xdazero:
hi zenkinz, is thw remote desktop client removed in your rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yanto1826:
Hi Sir.. Cant find it ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
sorry, it's proxy section. should be able to find it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
yes it's removed, if there's any need I will create a cab later.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
not sure your question. HTC messaging and manila are two different software/function.

anyway, HTC messaging is fast if you keep the no. of messaging to just a few hundreds.

I used to just leave my messages there w/o any house keeping, but when I start doing that (force by the messaging cilent performance hit), i realised that 90% of the messages are deletable. So I suggest you just do the house keeping and you can stick with the htc messaging client.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
unlikely i will do anything further with the icons. it's very time consuming to create 300 over icons just for this purpose. if u think it's too small for you, switch it back to 3x3 you should be able to see it better.

thanks. anything that's not official is great. although I like to think mine is optimized for speed, storage and eye candies. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Yes ... that is what I mean.

I really hope to see the old sms style kind of speed on HTC Messaging.

Plus the old sms style ... search is so easy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yanto1826:

Got the Arkswitch error .... something about "not enough memory".
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
untick "use http" ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I just flashed to this Leo ROM.

After I restore back my data .... I feel that it is not as fast as Sense.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
FINALLY!!

About 8hrs after flashing ..... the ROM is up to speed.

Now it is as fast as Sense .... hopefully it get faster as it goes on ...

Well done bro!! =)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tonz22:
Askswitch some time error .... Now i remove it , Then use MMTaskmanager, It is very good...for NG Merlion..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
thanks for the feedbackx, I agree on the arkswitch stability issue. might take it out...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yanto1826:
hi bro..

it was not click at the first place.. hmmm..

sianz, cannot solve it, can't even use opera to view one motoring traffic cam.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
this is not possible. your settings must have screwed up along the way as you try to fix the problem. you may want to flash the latest version of rom (will be uploading v1.2 within the next 24 hours hopefully) and then carry out the above steps.

fwiw, I'm on starhub and I don't have the problem. so I can safely rule out the problem is due to the rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sonybeckham:
Very Nice,Thanks......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
v1.30 is now online.

some highlights of the changes

Updated Windows Mobile 6.5.5 COM5 build 23559

Added XDA_UC v1.1.0 to simplify your device setup after a rom flash

Added CoOkieMonster's Co0kie's Home Tab v.1.7.0 with further tweaks for Merlion NG (i.e. operator logo support)

Updated Dark Ninja's Desire Taskbar mod v3, with further tweaks for Merlion NG (folder & start logo)

Updated RSS Hub notification icon to be consistent with Merlion NG theme

Fixed some theme inconsistency
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sev7en:
Finally! Thank you very much for this new release... I am downloading it now ready for flashing! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
Thanks!

v1.40 is in testing :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Panda05:
Hi,

Just to check.. I usually rearrange my Home tab.. with v1.3.. I can't do it anymore.. at the Setting/Personalise/Home screen tabs page. it show that the tab has been rearranged to my liking.. but when quit to the Home page.. its still the original arrangement. Anyway to change it?

Regards.

PS. When is v1.4 ETA?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
ok bug noted. not sure if it's due to cookie mod but I will investigate, it happens in v1.50 as well :o

and you heard me right. forget about 1.40, 1.50 is in testing phase. If no problem in the next 24 hours, I will release.

edit: Found the 'cannot rearrange tab' bug. Will be fixed in 1.50
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jack9999:

bug report...when using garmin mobile xt, the startup screen for the garmin is still shows part of the sense theme at the top...but screen is ok during navigation...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
Looks like I have to take the plunge once v1.50 is up! :D

Thanks again for all the hard work put in, zenkinz!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
this is a known bug due to the WM6.5.x layout of taskbar & softkey bar. I can fix that by running ameba or enative position fix, but I rather not do that just for one application. If you want to fix it, you can install either of this app to re position the window.

v1.50 may have some scope change. extendir v2 b1.07 is not stable for daily use so I will be taking it out. It's still fast nevertheless, just not as fast as it could be :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dualshoc:
thanks for the clarification...thanks again for all the hard work...hope that you'll take out the arkswitch and keep back the task manager u used in the merlion ROM...keep up the good work...support from singapore
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fychan:
remote desktop shortcut missing

Please verify the following....

1) remote desktop shortcut missing and allow autorotate?

2) SMS hotfixes do they still have to be installed on you v1.3 or more?

3) Allow Start Menu Grid to autorotate?

4) The default background is excellent.... it would be good if it can be animated :)

5) cook-In Cookie Home Tab Editor v1.7 ?

6) Arkswitch is ugly.... MMTaskmanager is better or best if there are none of these...cooked in?

7) Cook-In Opera Mobile 10? (without pinch to zoom not much impact..) important is FAST... loading... and startup...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
1. no plan to include, will find time to publish it as a cab

2. no need

3. no plan at this point. maybe in future releases

4. no plan to do this.

5. no plan to do this, as it will bloat up the windows directory. can post it as a cab (with the appropiate icons) and you can use xda_uc to install it automatically

6. will plan this in v1.60. v1.50 scope is locked down already (can take out things but not add in things :P)

7. no plan to do it until pinch to zoom is supported.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
good news. Managed to sort out the problem with extendir v2 b1.07 so you are going to see remarkable improvement in the performance.

attached is the comparison between 1.50 and 1.00
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:

Hi,

Some small request...

1) Can include the no-Demo Flashlight app?

2) Can enable Owner Info to appear automatically?

Regards.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
got abit of small hiccups on v1.50 at the last minute, when the performance booster (i.e. latest version of extendir) I've re-added back break the document reader. Finally managed to fix it although there might be some side effect which I will explained in another post. Not a big deal, and good thing is the side effect can be easily overcome.

So I will only upload v1.50 tomorrow.

Alright, will queue this up to next release (hopefully)

The bonus for v1.50 is new messaging client (v1.5 build 2014), Not sure how much of performance improvement it will bring, but it's working well for me for now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
v1.51 is now available online!

Yes it's v1.51 instead of v1.50, since there's a fair bit of bug fix meted out on v1.50 even before it got released :P

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please remember to do task 29 before flashing v1.51, if you do not have the habit to do mtty/task29 in your ROM flashing routine. This is because there's a change in the XIP between v1.51 and v1.x and if you don't do it you might end up with some issues later on.

some of the key changes found in v1.51 includes the following

Updated Windows Mobile 6.5.5 COM5 build 23563

Updated Radio ROM to v2.10.50.08.02

Updated CoOkieMonster's Co0kie's Home Tab to v.1.7.1 with further tweaks for Merlion NG (i.e. operator logo support)

Updated HTC Messaging Client to v1.5.20141131.01

Updated Shadrac Extendir FS driver v2 (beta 1.07) for file system performance improvement (SPB benchmark indicates 500-700 pts improvement)

Fix "cannot rearrange home tab" bug

Take note that with this version, the performance of the device should be fast, but you may find the following anomaly

1. Storage card content missing

This is currently due to a bug found in Extendir v2 b1.07. The content is

not

deleted, just that Extendir somehow does not display content under certain circumstances. Just take out your storage card, and then put it back and the problem should go away permanently. Do not just soft reset, as the missing storage card content may come back again. If taking out the storage card and putting it back doesn't work for you, please let me know.

2. Garmin appears to be running sluggish on this device

This is again due to extendir v2 b1.07. The workaround is to create a shortcut in your start menu such that it points to QuePPC.exe in \Storage Card\Garmin\App folder. Somehow, running the app from storage card is much faster than running it from the device (which Garmin installation process will copy QuePPC.exe to \Garmin\Que.exe)

You may ask, so why would I release the ROM with extendir v2 b1.07 despite the above known problems

The answer is simple. The performance boost that extendir v2 b1.07 is so significant, that I cannot simply ignore it. No doubt there's bug (as reported), but you would expect that from beta product, and more importantly, the problem can be resolved easily with solution that needs to be just applied once and you will very soon forget about the problem. Try v1.51, and I think you would agree that the performance gain is worth all the effort when you flash v1.51 on your HD2.

I'm working closely with the developer to fix the problem in extendir. So hopefully we will get all these sorted out in the next release.

manage to fix the phone canvas position for incoming call. Install this cab and reboot. Let me know if it works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fychan:
I notice that when we are in the phone app and we select "All People" (lower left hand corner of the screen) and then subsequently select "BACK"

You will notice the phone pad icon in the bottom center of the phone app will go out of place... :) Anyway to fix this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coolfire:
I believe this problem i inherent in 6.5.5. Maybe the experts or even zenkinz himself can confirm this? :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
yes it's inherent in 6.5.5. It has been 'hacked' before to align the SIP icon properly but this is one that still couldn't be aligned properly.

Hi

Greetings from a fellow Singaporean

I am going to switch over from my TD2 to a HD2.

Your Rom will definitely be the one I use. Mainly because of the Asian WWE (retains chinese fonts reading and writing) and the great feedback

Just a couple of questions :-

1) I got absolutely no experience with UC. From what I read, it restores all the previous installed programs and tweaks from the SD card. Am I right?

2) So to use UC, I just need to run it and place the SDConfig.txt file in my SD card?

3) If I choose not to use UC and insert a formatted SD card after flashing, will there be any conflict?

4) Regarding the Default eBooks from HTC, are the y just a bunch of ebooks?

Thanks

Thanks for the great work!

disable "Message Sent Successfully" for SMS

Hi there......

I have already tried the following..... and still not able to disable the SMS sent notifications.

ANyone have any idea how to disable it..... its really really really irritating :P

I dun face the problem previously leh..... only this recent version.....sigh...

but really see feel some performance improvement so reluctant to roll back....hehe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\

If “Settings” branch does not exist, create a New Key with name as Settings. Then highlight Settings, and then create a new String Value key with value name as SMSNoSentMsg, with its value data as 1.

Hi Zenkinz,

I have just installed your rom.

I was using the previous ver.

I am on Singtel. :P

i noticed the phone signal drop drastically and moves up and down.

i even have totally no signal when i put the phone in my pocket

As I set a pin for my phone, somehow, when i left it in my pocket, the phone radio was shut down and rebooted...and i know bec i need to re-enter the pin.

do you think this is more like a radio problem?

i am using v2.10.50.08.02

thanks!!!

have you done a task29/mtty prior to flashing v1.51?

greetings!

1 & 2. You can refer to the FAQ for the link that tells you more about the customization you can do with XDA_UC. But if you just want to auto install certain cab file, just create a folder XDA_UC in your storage card, throw in the cab file in it, and that's sufficiently. You don't need the SDConfig.txt

3. Just make sure you only insert your sd card after the second reboot, as UC kicks in after the first reboot.

4. just sample ebooks from HTC. you can download the app in the forum to add more ebooks to your HD2.
