[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wstephen:
reDesigned Volume Control

Tried uninstalling the "A_C VolumeControl modded by Wajk". Reinstalled the Lme.cab under Windows Directory after a soft reset as adviced by andrey151289. Nothing changed. The "reDesigned Volume Control" still has to be invoked by pressing either one of the volume buttons on the side. Tapping on Taskbar VC Icon gets the same old rudimental interface, but I can live with it.

My overall experience with blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer 3.9 is that:

It has superb stability and still offering fast responding manila 2.5 interfaces - Want to know how I would come to this conclusion?

(a) I played the WWE version for some hours, have noted the speed and performance. I then, changed the manila language using the Manila Language Manager v0.6 which helped converted most of tabs into Traditional Chinese.

(b) It has been a global phenominence that one would loss the SMS Sound Notification after changing the Manila Language. So to restore the SMS Sound, which my wife argued that was inportant to her, I've solved the problem by renaming some 40 html/htm files from 0409 into 0404 I've found on XDA, I have actually translated the htmls into my language. And Now, the pop-ups are in Traditional Chinese. So my Windows Directory is hosting a duplicated set of these hmtl files.

(c) On the User Interfaces, I've also translated some 30% of the MUIs, installed HTC Messaging Client 2018.2222, and HTCMessaging4Hyper v10, translated the MUIs too.

Now, one can not easily notice it is a WWE rom by just seeing how my wife plays with it over her shoulder. Though it is laborious to begin with, in parrticular, on the googling part of the process, yet I enjoyed it very much because there have been some sense of achievement from time to time. The actually translation has not been as tedious as it was in my perception because the "copy and paste" function of the PC has actually eliminated a lot of typing works. Lots of them were repetitive phrases.

I expected a little sluggishness in the booting up and manila response after all these conversions. TO my VERY SURPRISE, the blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer 3.9 in Traditional Chinese is as FAST and as STABLE as it was in its WWE right after the flashing. My wife is liking the blackstone better, downloaded the Traditional Chinese User Manual, comparing the contents with those appears on the manila tabs and learning to use the new functions.

I am a noob, and believe me I could localise it's appearance and user feel in just more than a week using my free time after office hours.

No doubt it should be attributable to the persistent dedication of our chef Wajk and his careful architecture!

Now, I am going to be very busy in next couple of weeks, I reckon, on further exploring the flexibility and on the remaining translation works. It is going to blacken my eyes and it is going to be fun for me too. I may have to do some interim backups before proceeding further which I didn't do it so far.

Great work, Wajk. You have all my appreciations. I can imagine the power of the up coming version 4. Personally, I share the notion that the ROM should be kept slim, but there should be more candies (add-ons), like photos in landscape, afterwards.

Cheers, Great Chef!
