[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
just download and install arkswitch, that is what I did ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Shurup:
Thank you. Now this rom is much more convenient!

Is it possible to set the opera as default browser in manila?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maqsur:
Thanks for the nice rom, really nice looking. Couple issues, which have been mentioned before I think. Toggle switch for vibrate and silent don't work.

Also, the alarm function doesn't work. I only get a text reminder, but sound doesn't go off, and I made sure volume up and sound selected.

Otherwise, good job. Thanks for your efforts.

Set the value "1" in [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER] to "\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\Opera10-armv4i.exe" and the value "0" to "Opera Browser" (not really needed).

Or simply import the registry file in the attached .zip.

Wont let me set up a hotmail account...wmlauncher problem..?

Is there a fix? i have installed sdkcerts but no change.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fedr0:
Well, I actually use my phone only with a single hand (I know, my hands are quite big) and I always thought that this multi-touch craze is just, well, crazy. Why should I use two fingers instead of one to do the same thing? Anyway, as you stated, this is my personal opinion.

Regarding the camera, I'm also a heavy flasher and I've never encountered any problems with Opera 10 and the camera on my HD2. I'm probably lucky, who knows. :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mythia:
The thing I always do is just download the windows live from marketplace, install it and then you can set up a Hotmail account, hope it helps :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xesisoj:
TNX! Flashing now :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] meegulthwarp:
I only use Opera 10 and it used to cause some conflicts with the camera. I always thought it was a memory issue but never looked into it as I don't use my camera often enough for it to be an issue. I haven't run into that problem on a VBNROM yet though.

I much prefer Opera10 and I think the only thing that v9 beats it in is pinch to zoom(which I rarely used anyway, but is a nice feature). Other than that v10 beats it hands down. Quicker, smoother, better layout of buttons and better looking.

Just flashed black RC3 its still quick as ever. Got a couple issues though:

- Flash in Opera 10 is real slow, almost seems like it doesn't work but if you wait long enough it starts but is unwatchable.

- CHT editor keeps crashing on me. I changed the default alarm to GAlarm, applied changes then quit. Upon quitting it froze the OS and only a soft reset would fix it.

I'll keep looking for more bugs but they are difficult to find, this ROM is so amazing!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
yeah thats what i did in the end. thank you!

wish latest opera9.7 was default browser.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
VBNROM Users : I will take note of the bugs/suggestions mentioned till now and work on them later..

Today I am very busy with the vbnfiles server move as you can see from my twit so most likely no updates but you never know...I may be just tempted to do something...lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sikarom:
Will anyone post a reply on the drainage of battery in the new rom LEGACY & TMOUS? A detailed observation would be better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Yes, a battery 'report' would be nice so I can further tweak/enhance the drivers ..

Btw... is anyone having taskbar icons flickering when screen runs any animation, etc, even when signal bars jump...

I am experimenting with some new+old drivers now to make the taskbar icons more stable...makes the ROM feel more stable IMHO
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tlra1984:
Hi Sanjeev,

may i ask is it normal for my hd2 ram 449.51mb and storage 268.01mb? after flashing TMOUS - 576 RAM + 1 GB Storage and 2.10.50.26.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colint3:
Build 24620

where can I find the dowload link for build 24620?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Since I flashed today at 5am Eastern time, with moderate usage, I am still at 83% ...

I do have a 1600mah battery so guessing that would be in the 70% range on a normal battery ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
On the first page ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
Using recommended radio, with twitter(doesn't update on standby on any rom?), mail(doesn't update on standby on any rom?), and weather(doesn't update on standby on any rom?) updating hourly, with HTC location. Running at 42% currently, started at 100% around 8:30ish am, its currently 7:25pm. Usage was mostly texting, no calls, and maybe 15 min browsing total. Not the fairest battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
For the non-TMOUS model... yes

Twitter (Not sure)

Mail / Weather : Updates on the schedule I set irrespective of standby mode

For weather are you on 'My Location' and 'Collect location info anytime' is checked ?

As far as battery goes, I am not totally satisfied myself... trying to mix some Asian drivers in ... they give better battery as compared to TMOUS stock ones
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] venky80:
Sim card contact shows only numbers

Sanjeev,

Great work ,

Speed is the killer feature,the sms scrolls so fast on the Manilla interface , i have not see that before in any Rom, not sure ,what the magic recipe is ?

i had to change to it to other Rom ,the only reason being, i was not sure who is calling ?

please fix this ,i want to get back to using your ROM :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Battery life is great here, but my phone is kind of a freak of nature I think I have been able to run apps that crash on other peoples, battery life has always been good but not this good ....

But I would rather my phone be a freak this way then the other way ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
Yes both things are checked. .12 is great but usage life is terrible! lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Can you describe your phone problem more please because I dont have any suh and no other user has mentioned
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ttodorov:
Hi Sanjeev,

is there any way I could make the Opera 10 browser the default one? I use my phone to surf a lot and cannot stand the IE or Opera9.7, love the reflow of v10.

I found a cab that changes a lot of registry settings here in the XDA forums, but after applying it tapping on any link from outside a browser fails to open any browser...

Regards,

~T
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Try this cab and Soft Reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Maybe take a vote on it to make it the default browser in the ROM, I would go with the majority, but I would vote no ..

You could just use the cab or re-install opera10 and at the end it will ask you if you want it to be the default ...

Not EVERYBODY wants opera 10 to be the default but not everyone wants IE or 9.7 ...

EDIT:

had to fix this post, re-read it and not sure what I was thinking, gotta stop having so many windows open , I think I combined two posts from two diff threads into that answer wow need some sleep....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Anyone ready to flash a test black version....this one is on steroids ! And has Opera 10 set as default with quicklinks also opening fine.

Test has to be for few hours so as to get battery idea
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
TMOUS version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
I'll do it!

PM me for quick communication with my Gtalk or MSN address. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
@Tito and watcher64 : Sending you the link via PM in 2 mins... lets call it RC 3.3 :D

(Yes its TMOUS compat)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
Sweet, PMing u my gtalk and MSN.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
@Tito & watcher64 : Check out the Opera10 icon now under Start-Internet ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tlra1984:
hi sir, do u mean the fix link is fixed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
sorry my statement was confusing...i meant internet bookmarks from quicklinks open Opera10 now ... used to open IE for me
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tlra1984:
ic.. kk.. i kinda desprate for the fix for quick link... :p

Tester available

Hi Sanjeev,

just got up now and saw that you are looking for a tester. I would like to volunteer. I must say your roms are fast and it is definitely coming of age with every build. So looking forward to test the new rom on my Machine.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] deviil:
It's gone silent

Hey whats up no responses coming in, feels like everyone left the room!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vozxx:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
@deviil : still here :D

The current beta is being tested out by Tito and watcher64 and myself...some issues were identified which I am resolving right now and as soon as we are good I will release a Beta2..

Will include you at that point (today itself)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sikarom:
Dear Sanjeev,

The feedbacks from Watcher64 and Tito about battery life indicates there are further improvements required. Will you please look in to that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I think you misread my post, I only USED 17% battery in about 16 hours ... that is a little over 1% per hour, I would say that is pretty damn good, even for my freak phone ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] deviil:
When can we expect RC3.3??

Does RC3.3 mean that you have tried 3.1 and 3.2? when can we expect it?:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
We are testing and helping squash some bugs, Sanjeev went to lunch, so we will get back on it when he gets back, and report ...

I can say it is still as fast, just bug squashing .....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
A bit smoother I might add. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
yeah that's it Tito , just tease them a little more. ......

when they come after you with the pitch forks and torches, I am going to pretend to not know you .... :D:D:D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brnadal:
I am stuck! :(

I have Cell Core Series installed on my HD2 TMOUS

i have 2.08 HSPL

I downloaded the black version it promted me to install task29 as step one.

Once i installed it my phone stays stuck on The boot screen of core cell series and it wont load the os so i can finish my VBN ROM install PLEASE HELP I CANT USE MY PHONE :((((

Much thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] birkoffsjunk:
Read the instructions first :p ;)

Hold volume down, reset phone by either pressing red button under battery or remove and replace battery... this will take you to the bootloader, then continue with the flash
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brnadal:
no you dont understand, i get out of the boot loader i tried holding up and down and even restored the phone but it stays on the first screen it loads of the OS and dosent show the usual, radio rom, etc numbers just stays frozen on the first screen it comes up to
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
First.....calm down :)

Now take out the battery...put it back...hold the vol down key and switch on the phone...keep the key held...there is no way you can miss the bootloader screen (Do not hold the Vol up key at this stage !)

Once there flash the ROM using another CustomRUU.exe or you can use the one I packaged....as soon as Task29 is done...phone reboots...DO NOT LET IT TURN ON...as soon as it goes blank...hold the vold down key and keep it held till you get the bootloader

There....thats the full explanation now ... you made me type so much :)

If still doesnt work, ,birk will deal with you :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dzatara:
You should press and hold "volume down" when it reach 100% to enter in bootloader and then you can continue rom flashing. i guess you miss that part.

Anyway you can do it again. video
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brnadal:
THanks alot man i was really skeptical of bricking my phone i just thought i had to go back into the os and activate sync but i did as you said worked fine much appriciation to you thanks for your time love it thus far
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] deviil:
Whats the status on RC3.3

Sanjeev, whats the word on RC3.3??:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
For Beta Testers, RC 3.3 Black TMOUS is available in beta folder for builds 21667, 24620 and 25020 :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] burger:
w00t thanks sanjeev, not used to IE for browsing :p

knocking off, going home to flash the RC3 I downloaded last night.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dzatara:
After one day with RC3 I can say that now I'm officially "VBN Rom Addict" :D

Excellent ROM! I wish i can redound with something to this project by feedback a bug or anything wrong but there is nothing to add. It's just perfect - beautiful, smooth and battery efficient.

I just wonder how incredible it can be more than this in next releases.

Thanks Sanjeev
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
How about an even more battery efficient ROM :eek: :D ...

One of the RC 3.3 Beta Build is giving me the time of my life !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] d3l1:
two questions:

- what's the difference between 24620 and 25020?

- do your ROMS support SPB Upgrade Mode?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Thats the million dollar question but as far as my research goes from the Chef's Central and Da_G thread, 246xx is another HTC branch (no idea where) and 25xxx is from Sony Ericsson

The way I see it is changes in the base exe/dll and the way they respond. So I am keen to test them all out...who cares which branch they come from as long as they 'perform'

Not tested yet but on my list of todo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mad_ssc:
hello,

1st post on that forum after many hours spent on it ... thanks Sanjeev for this great rom, i was previously using ROMeOS4 by monx ...

i am testing RC3 GTX version (1st VBN rom i use), great, except small minor things :

- secure box in message is not here, in my case, i can't restore message stored in it with PIM backup (maybe you choose to remove it since the begining?)

- "normal" icons instead of "beautifull" icons are displayed when apps are putted in quicklinks for camera, rss, maybe others, i didn't test them all

- 2 programs appear twice in the list for quicklist settings : alarm, task manager

most important :

- 2 quicklinks can't be setup, even if i use 3x3, 4x4, 5x4

(sorry if my english is not perfect)

thanks a lot for your work :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Oh ... btw... i am on RC 3.3 Build 21667 and for the last 2 hours i lost only 1% :eek:

- 2 calls about 7 mins total

- Weather hourly on My Location

- Activesync 10 mins

Maybe coincidental...maybe not...who knows :D :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dzatara:
Just wonder where i can find the d.signs's icon set for this rom (GTX)?

I already install some apps with colored icons and i want to change them.

There is no folder "d.signs" or "icons" in VBNfiles :rolleyes:

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
* Thanks for pointing out the icon issue on quicklinks...i'll look into that

* Programs duplicated on the quicklink select list ?

* CHT Quicklink issue is partly fixed...now on the 3rd page some links dont come up...more checking on this

PS : All fixes are currently in RC 3.3 Beta

the iconset is not available as standalone download...only via the ROM...

gtx iconset is not yet ready and also additional apps

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 2b2b:
me too ;-) ?!!! =:-)

strange thing in RC3:

a restored email-account (@gmx.at) is not fetching any mails any more, no error-messages, simply non fetching. switched also back my radio from .12 to .10 - so no idea, if that's the fault. maybe also a question for the solution with window-live package?

I found all the games in the windows-folder - but missed the shortcuts in the startmenue - no issue to create them, but...

I did only manage to get opera10 - no trace of 9 ;-) - I dont't care about those different versions - but why has anybody 9, and me only 10 ;-) ??? (do I have to do any kind of reset after flashing ?)

tnx - please, please beta ,-)

RC3.3 BLACK TMOUS VBNROM-25020-Test

Having this version up and running on my HD2 for about 2 hours now. No major bugs so far.

My Setup:

SPL: HSPL 1.42

Radio: 2.10.50.26

Battery: Stock

Flashing method: Using FlashaholicRUU > Task 29 > Radio > ROM > Hard reset (twice) > Initial system setup.

-Speed: Very smooth and fast

- SMS notifications: OK

- Side volume control fonts: OK

- Internet with Opera 10: OK (but with no real zooming only pre-selectable zooming factor in 'setting'. Only version 9.7 have pinch to zoom function, if I'm not mistaken)

---> Actually, we can enable basic tap to zoom in Opera 10 by creating this key in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera]

Create a key name "Defaults" without the quotation marks of course.

Then create a DWORD inside the "Defaults" key, name "ZoomSliderEnabled"and give the dec value of "1"

The structure will be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Defaults]

ZoomSliderEnabled"=dword:1

- Windows Live Hotmail: Cannot setup hotmail account caused by missing a component/WML launcher : You should install 'Windows Live Messenger' from Marketplace first before setting up your account.

- Outlook email: OK (Tried setting up my gmail account using Outlook (not through Google Mail specific wizard). Everything is working)

- Battery power consumption: 76% left after 2.5 hours of heavy usage (Microsoft Direct Push is set to 'On' etc.). hmmm...Not as good as RC2.1 but I'm just testing it for less then 3 hours.

-No lockup so far

-GPS fix: Less then 7 sec(in a quite bad weather condition) (After running quickGPS)

-WiFi: OK

- Bluetooth: OK

- Others: Still testing....

Overall verdict: Very Good ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] n_god:
It's an almost perfect ROM for me. "almost" because there is no DOCUMETS TAB :( but rest of it perfect :D

Also I recoment to add this to your ROM "XDA UC" "AGPS FONCTION" "TCPMP" "TOTAL COMENDER" "DATA CONTROLER" and "ADVANCED CONFIG". These are not fully necesery but they are very use full.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Just use sashimi to install your stuff after boot, this rom is lean and mean, let's try to keep it that way ...

but I do agree that AGPS needs to be back in there ... Unless you are just enabling it via registry , then cool ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] n_god:
Yes I know that but it could be more user friendly if they were cooked in it's just an advise :)

I do'nt know is it a real bug but XDA MARKET doesnot work. it gives NETFCv3 error :S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] overshadowss:
July 18 ROM

I've tried the July 18 ROM .. its look nice :D I liked the them and the performance ..

I had 4 issues

1-speaker icon never change when you change to vibrate or silence from CHT links, but it works if used hardware volume.

2-I had SOD 2 times :(

3-applications like "advanced_configuration_tool"- "BsB Tweaks" and "Data control" r really important and it would be a nice idea to cook them into your builds :)

Nice work dude the ROM is nice :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
AGPS is enabled always inside...but I will include the settings panel for it in next

:eek: Xda Market is not working ? Which ROM version ? Thats not nice since vbnfiles officially supports and hosts it :D

1 - Speaker icon issue from CHT in Beta RC 3.3 is also there ... will check on it

2 - No SOD on latest Betas so next release should be ok

3 - Never used them ... again they can be installed afterwards since not everyone uses them
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
The XDA market place is actually down , has been for over 14 hours ...

You may see the NETcf error if NETcf messages is not installed, it will throw a general NETcf error if the messages cab is not installed and it fails to connect ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
The xdamarket web is currently off because VBNFILES was under maintenance and I have not been able to set it all up back yet....in few hours it should be all ok

Noob question

Sanjeev,

Can i flash this TMOS ROM ,my flash size is 512 ???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cyphol:
Can I answer this question? Hehehe...

Yes you can. It's a universal ROM. Meaning, you can flash it on either TMOUS or Worldwide LEO/HD2 device. But please follow the instruction carefully as suggested on the first page.

Happy flashing. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dzatara:
Hi Sanjeev

I am using RC3 on nonTMOUS Leo with radio 2.10.50.26

My Sim card isn't 3G sim card (i never find a time or reason to change it) and its PIN protected i found that when i soft reset my phone when it login the pad for PIN code doesn't appear every time => i don't have network coverage. I have to restart it several times till it appear. I wonder is it from my card radio or from RC3.

I simply disable SIM PIN and its ok now
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] livingspring:
Using the RC 3.3 build 24620 with the 12.50 radio

battery life is significantly improved (lost 3% since 10 pm last night to this morning on standby)

SMS is working fine(cant find the secure option though)

No bugs noticed since I flashed

Will update after using the phone for a little longer

never had an SOD on my LEO
