[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Shurup:
My phome hangs twice already after flash the semi rc 6.2 24626 and manila starts very slowly.

I will try to install the 24626 black version.

EDIT: I install always following apps (after hard reset and restore my contacts with spb backup, and cht setting) that I need every time:

- igo

- resco file explorer

- arkswitch with black skin (why don't you put it in your rom? it is one of the most important must have apps)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Has to be 3rd party app only...plz run the ROM bare for few hours before installing your apps to make sure its not ROM issue.

arkswitch : I have never had use for a task manager to be honest and I do not install any also :) ... Also I keep taskmanagers out for performance and battery issues
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
Where you found that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] deviil:
Sanjeev, clear stroke of genius!!!

Can we mod the buttons on the taskbar of the manila home to match the wallpaper??? i know we can mod the taskbar itself using CHT.

Can't wait to try and test this piece of art on my HD2.

Whats is the ETA???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
Hi sanjeev, nice to hear you'll be doing a stock like rom as well, but just a question, since one of the key components that make your roms look great is the superb integration of the nokia font into it, will you be bringing the nokia font into stock rom? Pretty please! :) hahaha

On point 2, i probably have ard the same configuration as you give and take, however i'm nowhere near your battery power!! LOL.

Anyway before you build and upload V7, would you include the newest htc messaging client into it? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] balles:
Sorry if it has already been requested... can someone tell me how much free storage and free RAM memory is available after a clean installation?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thesecondsfade:
Quite frankly, it doesn't really matter. Just cuz one ROM has more RAM available after a flash doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be faster. VBN's is by far the fastest and most efficient. There is plenty of room on the internal memory after a flash as well. This ROM is about as big as any other out there... smaller than lots.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] elytron:
Can someone tell me what are the exact differences between the 24626 and the 23130 build is?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patwang0311:
Different dev stream. Think 231xx is the COM3 stream (6.5.3) and 246xx is the possible HTC dev stream for 6.5.5.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patwang0311:
If I recall correctly, free main storage after fresh install was > 200MB, and free mem in excess of 210MB.

Anyway, I have been playing around with different ROMs and now back to VBN 6.2 semi again.

Still quite impressed with the stability, smoothness, etc.

Though I realized battery usage is slightly higher when not in standby (yes, I have run it down to 1% and let the phone shutdown by itself and charge it up to full). Just replying to this thread itself takes > 4% within 5 minutes. Overnight is still fine as my outlook schedule turned off all push notification overnight - have weather update hourly though with Location enabled - around 8% in 7 hours.

Using radio 2.12.50.02_2 from the factory 3.04 TW ROM.

Guess that's the price paid for aggressive smoothness (sense is very responsive - no lag at all!) in the expense of battery consumption - can't get it all, can we? :D

Anyway, still a very good stable ROM - tested VBN semi v6.2, still running it - no freeze or crash so far - though let it run to total flat battery once to calibrate - that's 1 reboot.

Keep up the good work!

And also THANK YOU! You are the best Sanjeev :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
There is a way to make them transparent using HDWall but at cost of some stability...have never used it at all so will keep it for the last ..

ETA is few days because I wanna fix everyhing up and make it perfect :)

Quickly looking at your issues, the first thing that pops in my mind is to try Radio 2.10.50.26 (You my not get best performance for your area but let me know the battery report.

I am running v7 (base same as 6.2) and last night lost 8% in 11.5 hours...with weather update 1 hr, gmail push active for 4 hour in morning (received 17 mails)...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
I always end up replying to your posts exclusively because hey are so long :P

My suggestions : Try RC6.2 24626 with HSPL 1.42

1) Slide to Unlock - You mean the lockscreen or S2U2 ? Using the default locksreen I have NEVER faced any erratic issues.

2) Shortcuts should be clean in v7

3) Youtube icon switched ? Didnt get you :(

4) Again, never had this issue. I can release a reduced touchscreen sensitivity patch if you want

5) Will check Twitter now in v7 to see i its behaving the way you described

6) Will check on Task as well. I know this was happening in some v5.xx

7) For GPS, you need to be in the clear outside. Try on the sidewalk without moving at all and you should get a lock in under 5 secs.

8) Will check this for gmail also. Could be gmail issue.

9) My battery is running exceptional. Just try once with the changes I recommended and let me know.

The newest messaging client is already in 6.2 (1.8.2018) ... if something comes up by the time I release v7, then will include it.

Yes, nokia font will be there in stock with a cab to revert to Standard HTC one for those who want a real "Stock" ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patwang0311:
Thanks for the Radio suggestion. That might be it. Though I won't be able to test it till next flash. Want to run this v6.2 till it freezes (hmm... will it ever happens??? Serious doubt it with the smoothness I got for the last 2 days :p) without reset.

Realized 2.12.50.02_2 is showing signal strength bar in the basement when I couldn't get any reception at all with the previous Radio (2.10.50.26). Could be using more power cos of that - performance/power balance again :)

Well, if your VBNROM has been so reliable and I won't be resetting, then we will never find out :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] venky80:
Working great

Sanjeev,

great job as usual. All seems well now.

Even the messaging issue (move sms) all those are working fine :).

keep rocking,

Just curious if you have any plans of changing the manila slider and also a back up utility that we talked about in the previous posts.

You work very hard, this will lead us to the Ultimate ROM.:cool:

Desperate for the v7.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] espaleena:
Excellent Rom

Bro Sanjeev,

Tried RC 6.2 & its uber smooth but I kinda feel weird for the black transparency hehe.

Other then that I have no issues, Thank You Sanjeev.

Hope there will be a GTX version on your V7.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
:) Thanks sanjeev. Appreciate your reply. I will download and try the RC6.2 right away. So i will have to use HSPL 1.42, does it make any difference if i use the original HSPL 1.42 or HSPL2 1.42? Because i have the HSPL2 (which you can choose between 1.42, 1.66 and 2.08) in my computer.

1) Nope, i'm referring to the beautiful lockscreen included in your rom. I never install third party lockscreen/s2u2

2) Nice to hear, your roms seriously rocks.

3) Sorry didn't make myself clear, i was saying when i assign certain shortcuts to quicklinks, icons like youtube is not changed to the same as the beautiful icons you have throughout such as camera etc.

4) I'm unsure whether it's the sensitivity. Of course i'm not adept at rom cooking at all, so you know best. But it's like there's glitches or random taps without me touching. One instance is while replying to a conversation message it scrolls up suddenly, or in manila.

5) Thanks for checking on twitter!

6) Thanks for this too.

7) Thanks for advice. I was actually having supper at the coffeeshop, couldn't get it to lock. And i tried it at home, both no luck. Will try further with RC 6.2

8) Are you using Push Gmail? Do you have deleted items and sent items synced? I do the necessary steps to get it to sync. But nothing happens (no sent items or deleted items appear) only inbox. I saw that you're using Gmail, so maybe you could guide me on this. (Anyways, i have tried with Push Gmail and Manual Set up without Push/Activesync, no luck)

9) Will do, thanks! Hope to get somewhere near your battery life too. :) I did a full charge and within 9 hours in standby (screen off and locked), battery from 100% to 77% :(

Saw that there's a new build for 2018 i think?

Nice to see the nokia font will be in ALL your creations!!

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post sanjeev, you're great man! Have a great weekend! Many thanks! :)

first report 5B-BLACK-LG-24623-GUL

5B-BLACK-LG-24623-GUL

HSPL 1.66

radio 2.09.51.03_2 and 2.12.50.02_2

applications - same as in RC6.2 report

Nice beta relase, not stable as RC 6.2, had to remove battery 2 times, stuck with HTC msg, once while sending msg and other time while setting vip-s (not sure why, cant reproduce it)

call quality is nice, a bit better with .51. radio

battery drain - less then RC 6.2, less heating during call's, GPS, WiFi... (its noticable so proly better choice for all non tmob users)

Btw, can RC6.2 work with .51. radio like some relases before? Cant find anything about it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Beta is very old as compared to RC 6.2 as you can see from the release dates :eek:

I am no longer making Legacy ROMs (.51 Radio Comp) because I now get the same performance and quality from .50 Radio and TMOUS comp ROMs
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
actually, considering the euro hd2 has half the ROM of the tmous hd2, for them, ROM size is very important as some of them have run out of memory.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
i actually agree with that dude, beta is actually better battery-wise
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darpforum:
yes its old, but its one of the best non tmob rom, bellive me I did try all

.50. and .51. have allmost same battery drain in standby, but during calls, wifi, gps .51. are much better for euro HD2, less heating = less power consuption

I hope you will reconsider legacy roms again :)

Anyone know is RC 6.2 only .50. rom or universal (.50. .51.) like some relases before?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dzatara:
I'm sorry if i offend u sanjeev but some things about last releases really bother me.

I notice that your rom drain battery very slow to ~70% after that it drop very fast to 30% and and average time for 1 recharge is the same (compare to 2 other roms). I dunno what happen but i think u miss something. I want to believe in your battery related teaks but they just don't work anymore for me.

Anyway the rom you cook is very fast smooth and beautiful.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
yep i think im on 24626, droppin hella quick, and with beta pewhhhhh probably 1 percent idle every hour, maybe more..., but yes its still fast.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sentinel196:
You sir, are awesome!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
RC6.2 is NOT .50 radio compatible... I agree that for Euro models, .50 radios are best and relevant ROM base also but I am not sure if it can run Android properly in its current form...I'll do a test ROM and see what can get Android running...if it works, you may see a Legacy model ;)

What Build, Radio and Country ? Here is my report :

Radio : 2.10.50.26

Country : Singapore

HSDPA/3G : Always On

ActiveSync Gmail : Always On (except 11PM-6AM)

Weather : 30 mins

I receive about 3 hours of calls daily on average split in about 20 calls or so. Around 30-40 sms daily, Opera browsing of my site and some forums around 1 hr split in a day and Remote Desktop for my server around 30 mins split.

And I run it for 2 days straight atleast with 10-20% remaining on 2nd day end.

Can you make sure of the battery by running the ROM bare without any 3rd party apps for atleast a day.

Thank You :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gabriel.twl:
Hi Sanjeev, i hope you didn't missed my reply post above. Before you release v7 hope to have a little clarification on the above bro. Many thanks. :)

can u share with me those allsome wallpapers????
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
If I was going to suggest anything it would be to get rid of the windows button on the bottom bar, it is redundant .... just for example I have it gone, and the first button set to "All People", with that window button gone you get a much cleaner look, IMHO.

​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Sorry..cannot share yet...will be coming in my v7 ROM ... maybe after that :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Yup...I have that in the kitchen already but I do not like pressing back button al the time then...its kinda trade-off for me...but I'll do one style and put a cab for the other way around :)

Btw..you using HDWall or something else to get the transparent softkeybar...I tried but didnt get the desired result
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
I have a v7 beta build ready (24628) ... who wants to test ... i am looking for feedback for Apps (audio player, album), system utils (bluetooth, wifi), UI (manila, menus) .... you get the idea ... only serious people reply please !

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patwang0311:
How can you top 6.2?

Semi Black 6.2 build 24626 still running smooth after so many days.

Think I will pass on the new build - staying on 6.2 till I get a freeze :p

btw, battery usage is getting better after a few days of using it. Push-notification + hourly weather update + Location Service enabled. 10 hours approx 12% with occasionally screen on when there is an incoming email notification.

Display switched on seems to drain battery quite quickly (reading book with iSilo takes around 6% an hour) but I can live with that given the smoothness in everything :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] adam20pl:
Is v7 colour or still black?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Digi421:
I am truly sorry for asking this stupid question, but my brain seems to have gone AWOL.

What's the bar (highlighed with red borders) in the screenshot? And more important, how do I disable it? The reason being is that the trigger area for that bar is exactly where I want the ArkSwitch trigger to be (and I never use that bar anyway).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Its a mix...similar to screenshots posted few posts above

ArkSwitch is supposed to take care of that...its the standard 6.5.x notification curtain...not sure you can remove that in kitchen without breaking a few other things
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Digi421:
Indeed, however it seems that the ArkSwitch "hotspot" area is behind this notification curtain.

Anyway, I love this ROM, even with that WM notification curtain :)

Great work, thanks to you and all those who help to develop and maintain this.

Have installed the RC6.2 black. In the time I had 2 times hanging my phone. First time I've answered a call during the igo was running. Second time I've answered a call during the core player was running, After ending a call with the red button my phone was not responsible.

I don't need a taskmanager, but a switcher, e.g. to switch quick between igo and a coreplayer. How do you switch the programs on your phone? Do you know any alternative usable switchers for our phone?

Lockscreen Issues

Hi Sanjeev,

I have been using your roms for the past few days. I must say that u have done a great job in bringing various goodies in one rom. However i have noticed an issue. When i receive any sms, missed call or email there is no notification icon in the lockscreen. I am referring to the option where i can click on the unlock button and the icons for the notification would appear on the screen, that is missing.

Also when i get an sms, i dont get an icon in the top notification bar when the phone is locked. I believe someone else also reported this issue. The phone vibrates, however there is no sound or notification. I have ensured that the ringtone is assigned correctly and the notifications are also active. Could you check for this issue.

Cant wait to get RC2. Also when does the rom in full colours get released?:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Yes....those issues were noted in RC1 ... will try my best get them all sorted out ... if they delay the release of RC2 ... I will make cabs for some fixes and release RC2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] American-Seller:
Thank You so much! It's a magnificent wallpaper and the ROM is excelent too.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Verified...not there in RC2 ;)

Thank you :) and yes the bluetooth issue I am aware of ... still looking for the fix... it was there in Dutty's thread somewhere I vaguely remember...

Anyways ... doing a final mix to get the best base now (thanks to Gavin's pointers) ... hope to see all such issues gone...

Ok Thanks.

I flash your RC1 Black ROM. Its a nice ROM, but i cant start Opera.

"The file Operal cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the Problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

You have a idea why?

And the Name of Bluetooth at the Settings are wrong.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wout:
Dear Sanjeev,

I don't know what rc2 will bring.

Because this rom is nearly perfect !!!

You could even stop cooking all together and I think I will be reflashing this one for months.

(really can't help myself and flash about every rom for every phone since 2005)

The Speed.....

The Battery life......

The Stabillity ......

Especially combined !! This is really unseen by me, on any htc device I had, and any rom I flashed.

Thx for this peace of art.

Wout

Did I mention the absurd battery life..... normally it's at about 0% on any rom at the end of the day.

With this one its at about 70% !
