[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Wheres this at I wanna try it out :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
;) it's comin....and if i do say so myself my HD2 is absolutely flying. Time left uploading... ~15mins
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
auuuugggghhh I cant wait. Damnit lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
haha have you updated your radio yet? it seems to get a good HSDPA signal here and so far performs well, it's also the one that comes with 2.11 base.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
No I havent yet. How do I go about doing that? Im pretty sure I know how I just want to double check
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Just like doing a rom, link in first post has info on all of it. just download, extract and run leocustomruu.exe.

I usually put mine into bootloader (vol down on power up) to do any updates but that's mainly around win 7 sometimes not connecting to activesync and my impatience to wait for it lol

I have uploaded a mirror to the new radio again in the first post. only thing missing is the task 29/hardspl stuff but you'll find it all in the link to flashing instructions.

btw 3.5mins remaining....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
ok lemme flash this radio I just task29'd
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Nice on bruv, rom is up let me know what you think. Long weekend here so i will probably do some more tweaking in the next few days.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Ill tell you how I like it, I was ridin with Kumars but it keeps freezin up on me after a few days
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
:) yeah i tried a few but i just wasn't happy with the speed or feel. Once you cook you just can't stop lol

This is still a beta, since the 2.11 is still unknown, so far so good though. hopefully a few others are keen to test it out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
This is takin forever to download...............................
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Ill mess around with this for a lil bit and give you some info on what I think bout it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
cool :) i'll do the same :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Is the radio update mandatory? Can someone post some screenshots?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] robiatti:
Just flashed the the Radio, and finishing the rom install now. I will report back after all is running.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
ROM available @ VBNFILES now :)

US -> here

EU -> here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] robiatti:
I am getting a ACTUI.exe error after installing Not sure what this is or if it any fault of the rom. but it does seem pretty peppy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
I had to use the tmo radio fix to be able to hear calls. Everything sounded like chipmunks before I did that. Also the internet settings are set weird. I didnt get a chance to test out MMS yet but everything else seems to be working fine. Oh yeah there are two lockscreens how do you get rid of the default one?

Also Norgan could you help me with skinning everything to be black?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
MMS is broken. You have to put your own settings in i believe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
yeah i have stripped the tmo internet and mms so the phone can be used in australia.

if you go into cookies home tab editor from the home tab menu under lockscreen settings you may disable the lockscreen you do not want.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
radio is not mandatory, just reccomended.

screenshots are on the way, having trouble with the apps i used previously on other roms to get them
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Will you help me make a black version of your rom with the correct tmo settings?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Hi KingSkeme,

You want everything black, as in taskbar icons and menu highlights? i can check my mods and see if i can put together a black rom, i thought it was black enough already though lol

as far as the tmo settings, perhaps i can use the original initfiles and operatorpackage and release a TMOUS specific build as well as my "International TMOUS" rom's.

Let me work on tihs for you and get back to you. As stated before i have hacked the TMOUS to work with normal 3g providers (Optus/Dodo in my case in Australia).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Yeah and also there were blue highlights with things. I put the dark android taskbar and it made it blue for some reason. Im used to the green highlights :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
well it's simple enough to make a vanilla rom with no colouring, highlights or taskbar. look for a vanilla build soon ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Cool I just want something straight black and then I should be able to handle the rest. I like the 2.11 update it helped a lot from where Im at
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Also I think with this release I think a lot of people would like it without the Tmo apps :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
which apps are not desired? the mobitv etc or the games as well?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Susasama:
So, we should Flash Radio before ROM flash? also where would taks29 fit in?

Flash Radio > Task 29 > Flash ROM > Hard Reset?

I think i have the correct order. I know task 29 is optional, but I like to do it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] unthinkablehero:
THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Yes, that's the correct order, at least according to all of the tutorials.

Also, I've been using the rom since this morning. No problems so far except in two areas:

1. Is there any way to keep the data connection live all the time, from turning it on to turning it off to turning it on again? I have to continuously activate data connection in the wireless controls settings.

2. Is there anyway you can integrate Tom's Autoinstaller? Would just make reinstalling apps sooooo much easier.

Otherwise, you have a really solid rom here. Thanks for addressing the problems of everyone here. Please continue in your progress and the good work that you have been doing. It really does mean much to those of us who are never satisfied with just having a stock rom. Again, thank you for all of your hard work and endeavor in the hd2 scene.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Hi Thanks for the feedback :)

As long as you have something connecting it will be alive/connect. (i.e. i use exchange push and it stays live)

Autoconfig is there with Autorun and SDAutorun, do i need to do something to have it work?

I have a final beta coming that i think/hope will be ready for some final feedback and then a final build
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] unthinkablehero:
dang... hahaha... wow... thanks for the quick reply. sorry if my questions are a bother, i just like how you already jumped on the 2.11 and cooked something out of it already. I look forward to the next one. thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
haha yeah it's 2.30 pm here on a long weekend, so i get to cook (in the future :P) while you guys are in the middle of last night.

I think this one is good, so far all seems well. screenshot is up on first post and upload has around 25mins left.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Damnit I was just getting used to 1.1.....smh haha but hey man everything is cool...except when I installed Dark Ninja's Desire taskbar all my volume stuff got all crazy.

And to answer your previous question yeah all the bloatware that came with the original rom. I think the only thing I personally use outta all of that stuff is the Transformers "app" but thats it. It was cool having games until you find out they are just demos
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] unthinkablehero:
You are the man... that's all I have to say. I saw the screen shot. I'm loving how it looks. Simple and minimilistic. Loving it. Also, I usually use MyMobiler to work on the phone from the desktop. It also provides for screenshots. I know you already did it, but I hope it helps you somewhat in the future. Also, thanks for adding a battery icon that tells you what percentage the battery is actually at. You have no idea how much myself and many others appreciate that. Okay, last thing, I promise before your new rom comes out... do you suggest a task manager besides the one already built into the phone?

Anyways, thanks again for your quick replies and for working late night to bring us your rom. Will remain a devoted follower of your roms. Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Thanks, it's very rewarding that, even though this rom is just how i want it to work (never happy with other roms lol), that others can enjoy it.

Even though i do this mainly for my own need to customise my own phone, i do enjoy producing it for others to use and don't mind making some tweaks for it to be more usable for different needs.

I have put in Arkswitch as i think it's the simplest way to change between and manage tasks, as far as the built in task manager program, i have used the standard htc/winmo one. i don;t knwo of any better than arkswitch for killing and switching running programs.

I hope that answers your question. I noticed the "admin" side of arkswitch isn't there, i'll add the icon to the tools menu so it can be tweaked to your liking.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
fair enough, i have organised the menus more so it's not so cluttered by those apps and considering the size of flash on these phones i'm not overly concerned with making a light version. I hope this is a good compromise for you ;)

Due to the tsowen taskbar i use, this may be the issue with your Dark Ninja taskbar (although i have the option of building that in as i have the ext's ready for that.).

Edit: I have decided for final build i will release a light (moddable with tmou bloat removed) and a full release with the taskbar and apps in the final beta.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] unthinkablehero:
Well, it really is appreciated. As for more tweaks, here's what I've done to your 1.1 rom to make it more to "my liking"

1. for the start menu (since the honeycomb layout kills my eyes), I use this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587631 (hope that helps others)

2. I usually like having everything transparent, so I follow this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=660557

I hope I've contributed a little...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Cool, i see that start menu is more like the touxhextreme/winmo7 menus. I think i will leave that as an option since it's quite a big change.

The transparency is very cool, i might look at some of that. I have some of the manila transparent mods already.

btw final beta is up and ready to go.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] unthinkablehero:
oh yes... flashing final beta now... will report back after messing with it!!!! hahahah... Thanks again man, really do appreciate it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Hope you guys enjoy my rom, i have added a poll to get an idea of what rom users are after. I will use the results of this poll to assertain the releases.

Thanks for your feedback and for being willing lab rats for my beta's.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Downloading the newest version now. One more thing I can think of is that you should have the task manager in the notification tab
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
not sure what you mean by having the task manager on the notifications tab? are you talking about manila home page or somewhere else?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
like this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
ah..i see how do i do that? lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zombierockstar:
Loving your ROMs Norg!!! Thank you for your hard work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] unthinkablehero:
okay, i've been messing, tweaking, running it through its paces. The only issue that I found so far is that with the headphones plugged in, when trying to make a call, it freezes. It might just be me. Otherwise, everything seems solid so far. It runs pretty smooth for the most part, actually downloaded ALL of the attachments from my email accounts (387!!!), and set up went without a problem. Games play well on it... oh okay... when playing music through the speaker, the quality is kind of scratchy... still able to listen, but its noticeable. Same with the phone call when the voice is coming from the other side. So far, that's all that I've found wrong with it. If you have any suggestions on how to take care of those issues, they'd be most welcome. Anyways, except for those things, the rom is pretty quick, responsive and no glitches for the most part. I'm going to keep running it through the ringer, let you know if I find anything else.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
The double voice thing is fixed temporarly (atleast for me) when you put the phone on speaker then off again...But yeah how that task manager is up above is what I was talking about. Also the call volume seems low compared to the stock roms
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
have you tried playing with audio booster for the headphones issue?

when the ship 2.11 ROM comes out I'll update the drivers.

last thing to try is the 2.10.50... radio, I'll do my own tests on this and get back to you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Susasama:
When can we expect a Final release? Looking forward to it/them.

Edit: You stated to mess with the 2.10 Radio, and i saw in OP, that it said recommended is 2.09. And your signature says 2.10. Which should i get? I'm gonna download and play with final beta until final release. need to know which radio works best/efficient.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
I have been testing 2.10.50.08 but just updated to 2.10.50.19. I will update the reccomended radio once ihave had a chance to play but at this point 2.10.50.19 looks fine and .08 is no probs.

The 2.09 radio is the stock radio to match the 2.11 base so that's why i have reccomended that.

As for the final release, i am hoping to get a hold of the 2.11 ship rom from tmo for this, if not then i will continue with this build. I have been working all day and cooked several roms working towards the final. As i fix/add things i am adding them to post 3 for the final release.

If you want me to put a date on it then lets say my R1.0 will be ready in the next 24-48 hours as long as i hear no other issues come up fromm beta testing.

I would like to test/resolve the reported audio issue before releasing though, i beleive this is the only real bug in the rom and it seems relitively minor but will be nice to resolve, perhaps with the ship version of 2.11 base rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
has anyone found that headphones cause the phone to lock up when using phone or fm radio (anything that uses the headphone out basically).

I'm thinking it may be radio related.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] momun:
Chipmunks

Nice and smooth Rom, but using the recomended radio and other radios I can not hear in comming or out going calls. It looks like im the only one having this problem, so I task29 and everything and still the same problem. Is their something that im doing wrong.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
i am seeing this in some of my private builds, but had no report on the beta releases. i'm testing some things now i'll let you know if i make any headway on this specific issue. (i thought it was the srs wow package i just added, but may be not.)

This is why i want to wait for ship 2.11 before building final release.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alodar1:
I can confirm this also. Missed 3 calls in rapid succession this morning. sound was on.....signal good. ended up receiving an SMS sent by the same person immediately right after.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Susasama:
Just used the fm radio, didn't find any stations then locked up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Release rom is getting close, sorted the headphone issue. Will have a release very soon, but for now i have something for you.

a splash screen suited to the tmous leo to replace the "stick together" screen from tmobile. something more fitting to our nice sexy looking devices :P

Screenshot:

Link to rom: (splash only, simply flash like you would any rom

http://us.vbnfiles.com/xda/norgan/Leo/NorgzHTC_Splash.rar
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zombierockstar:
Great work on the splash screen Norg!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
thanks, i am thinking of doing an RC release soon. based on 2.11 xip and drivers but 2.10 oembase drivers as these sem to work better for scrolling, headphone and some other small things.

When ship rom comes out i will do a full 2.11 and release that..

check back in the next 12-24 hours once i am happy with testing on this rom. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Have Fun

Release Candidate up now!!

Please try and find anything wrong, so far i cannot fault it. One small issue on the incoming call screen where there is the gap at the top, it's minimal impact and hardly noticable.

This is using all 2.11 and 23563 aside from the core OEMDRIVERS folder, i found that the 2.10 oem base drivers perform better and have no aparent faults as in the headphone issue with the 2.11 drivers.

I have been using this all day long and still have 62% battery, that's with several calls, gps, wifi and playing with some apps.

Hope you enjoy, I have put a lot into this and I think/hope it shows in the results.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BJohnM:
Quick question

Are Word and Excel inlcuded? Don't see them on the list, so just confirming if I need to go find the cabs.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
yes office 2010 is all there, including onenote and sharepoint workspace.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alodar1:
Twitter login is not working correctly. Tab the screen or use Data Services to setup account brings no response. Eventually the screen comes up....but won't connect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alodar1:
I was able to resolve this with multiple hard resets.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
hmm my twitter worked perfectly. ensure you do a task 29 before flashing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] momun:
No bright adjustment

I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. On the backlight adjustment I am only able to adjust on external power and not battery power. I have reset the phone but this choice is not avaiable, any clue?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
do you mean from the manila settings page? the option is not there right?

If you go to all settings then system and power it is actually there. i'll check into this.

I'm working on incorporating some of the newer drivers for an RC1.1 build.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
On the 1.8 release when I would get a MMS it would freeze my phone up and wouldnt show me the mms. Im going to flash the RC right now I'll tell you how it goes
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
I'm working on RC1.1, some updated drivers and not sure if this is some other stuff i was playing with but i saw some issues after it being on for over 12 hours and after taking several photos with the camera.

I have updated a large amount of oemdrivers to 2.11 and so far looking good. Hopefully i can release an RC1.1 then when ship rom for 2.11 shows it's head can look at a full release with different builds (i.e. light and premium)

Let me know how you go with RC1
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Ill tell you whats up
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
can i9 take it that no news is good news? lol

RC 2.0 now up in second post. 23566 with nearly all new ext packages from the recently leaked huashan device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, for your mobile pleasure i present, NorgRom RC3.

With all new visual refinement and latest available packages based on build 23568 Windows Phone 6.5.5.

Many performance tweaks and refinement of packages this rom delivers a beautiful balance of looks, speed and battery performance.

(i used this yesterday and it only chewed through 10% battery for the entire day. This was with minimal use of course but with constant facebook, twitter updates and active net connection.)

I am on wireless right now so uploading is a bit slow but it's on it's way now!

Hope you enjoy :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
takin FOREVER to download but Im about to flash it and test things out.

Nevermind...downloaded in no time using Megaupload
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KingSkeme:
Is there anyway to change the windows bar with "phone" and menu" on the bottom to another color? Right now it has a blue lookin type of deal and Id like to change it up but I dont know where to find something that would do that

Oh yeah also I had a question about the clocks....how do you change it up so its the default looking one because right now it has the GTX default clock
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] norgan:
the blue overlay came up at one point, all i had to do was remove the image associated with it, i thought i had fixed this with a reg hack.

here are the settings:

;taskbar transparency

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar]

"SoftKeyBarThemeImage"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar]

"TaskBarThemeImage"=""

that should get rid of that colour and make them transparent.

the clock is the swiss type that matches an actual watch i have lol, i am not entirely sure how to change it but it's a c00kie home tab clock. you should be able to install additional clocks as per the c00kie home tab thread.

let me know how that goes, i did recook this after making some changes to my live rom and had not reflashed it. i will do some further testing if the above doesn;t allow you to resolve this.
