Wait so do I have to have the Rom on the microsd card as well? all the bootloader screen does is show SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G, then the screen flashes and usb, or serial shows up at the bottom. and that's it, it's all i can do.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aroelz:
ROM on SD card --> no need, if u want flash ROM using PC via USB.

when enter bootloader screen and usb, or serial shows up at the bottom then your phone should be detected in PC and you can continue to flash your ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] caelroth:
Omg thank you guys so much! I...I almost had a panic attack, I aplogize for my idiocy, so far it seems to be installing fine... phew!

Why don't you simply disable HTC Sence and enable Windows Default??:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
why have thousands of extra files that you are not going to use on your phone? Manila is like 3k files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
That's absolutely no valid reason to cook a build with Titanium only.

Try to ask the other ROM chefs! :rolleyes:

Has anyone had problems with orientation in pictures, both in android and windows mobile. Ive had several pictures come out sideways. Pictures taken in landscape when loaded on pc are displayed in portrait. Looked through some and have found 1 that has the correct orientation when taken landscape.

Has this been fixed in recent updates, dont see any mention.

Waiting for your R6 GTX 6.5.x bro Sanjeev :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
quite a few make titanium builds, ask energy.

Considering sense can take up about 40mb of program space, it does make a difference for the euro hd2's that are lacking in that dept.

Considering mobile shell only takes up about 10-12mb...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bzpwhx:
hello vbn! great ROM!! the black is fantastic!

two questions: the slider is very nice but if i install Facebook tab 1.6 i get one different tab (color) how to modify this to resemble at your black style?

the start icons looks great too where can i find more with the same style? i have programs like tomtom or resco...

let me know thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gus_chi:
Thanks again Sanjeev. The RC 6 Rom is operating at optimal efficiency and is perfectly capable of running Android. I quickly realized the audio enhancement and volume level boost you were referring to in Android. :)

How do you get the FB tab to work? I downloaded Meltwater's 1.6 FB tab and installed it and can't get it to work. No FB tab appears. I checked the Home Tab deal and it's not there. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated : )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Azrel37:
Album icon

Not sure if you're aware of this, but the Album icon is in it's normal icon not the PRETTY blackness. If you're trying to select it while making a quicklink, it looks like a normal black icon that belongs in the set, but once you pick it and make it, it turns to normal Album pic.

hey guys.. awesome rom.. love the performance and efficiency.. currently running darkstone 2.2 froyo build and works really well.. no hicups .. just the usual battery drain. although today, i was able to do almost 10 hours on a single charge! i have to mail accounts, made about a total of 30 min calls, and texting and the fb app all day.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
I would suggest trying the RC6 ... it has a more clean and new OS core

Thanks bro ! For cooking start with Chucky's kitchen from his thread ;)

:eek: :D :D

The slider doesnt include the additional icons like FB, Doc etc. You need to edit the manila files to match them or wait for my release :)

Nice and tx for confirming

Which black flip clock you mean ? The one currently in the ROM ?

I am not sure if FB install will work like this on my ROM ... will test when I get some time

Delete files : \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\*.bmg

Restart Manila.

This will clear Manila cache and you should have new icons on the CHT quicklinks

Hey Master,your RC6 is amazing,fast smooth, in one word perfect.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sentinel196:
Just flashed RC6. I don't like the new boot screen (animation). Its the same as EnergyROM. The old one was much more classy.

Other than that seems brilliant so far.

Hopefully I wont have any issues with SMS as I really dont want to have to go back to Energy again. lol

Awesome work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
The animation is called Animated.gif in Windows folder...There are cabs for others you can replace....it was a test using my GIF Animator putting my name on top of the frames ... when I get more time I will create unique anims for my ROMs ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sentinel196:
Well the test worked :) Thanks I might change it. Not that I plan on having to reboot often with this ROM :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Aha...tx for reminding that...let me fix that also then I'll release 6.2 :)

Yes it will ... once minor issues are sorted like the Vol bug etc...

Also thinking of a stock version WITHOUT any apps :D

Cool - will look forward to that Sanjeev.

Love the speed and battery of this rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sentinel196:
Ever considered preinstaling Arkswitch? It's an awesome task manager and most of the other roms have it cooked in now.

Just a thought. No issue to install the CAB if you aren't keen on cooking it in. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Arkswitch was originally part of the ROM but removed to ensure stability and performance. Its best kept as additional cab :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
RC 6.2 Black 24623 is released (other build in morning).

Changes :

* All Manila sliders/checkboxes/etc converted to Black

* Keyboard tap selection backgrounds now black

* Volume Indicator Fixed - CHT quicklinks and Music/Video Sliders work ok :D

* Minor behind the screen fixes

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheRomMistress:
If by intro, you mean splash screen, you can always change it....I have always loved Sanjeeves splash screens...IMO, its what sets him apart from the rest of ROMS I have tried
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
i mean change it back to his pre-246, also the app minimizer/closer on the top right is missing, i dont know how.why no one has brought this up yet... did everyone forget or what
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I do not believe that is in any 6.5.x roms only 6.5 roms ....

that is what the back button and the home button is for in 6.5.x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
Do you mean the stock task manager built into the notification part of the taskbar?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] venky80:
It drains battery so its excluded in the build,.

You can find cabs for it like MM taskmanager ,have it installed
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] venky80:
Waiting for the colourful version ,I agree its hard to see in the sun
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
The stock taskmanager drains battery?

I know Arkswtch and MMtaskmanager do but i dont think the stock one does
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
no the app switcher... say u have opera, file manager, and windows media all open, the little list top right corner that lets you change btwn 'em??? also it turns into an x when ur on a prgm so u can cancel...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
it was in his beta rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
Ah right, the dutty task manager one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
how do u live without it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
I use the stock task manager as a quicklink, use that to switch between my apps and close them down. Why dont you use that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kunivone1989:
from where im coming from, its simply asking for 2 much...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:

RC6-24623-Black

Time and timezone are not set up automatically after entering the SIM pin.

Always have to set up timezone manually and disable/reenable the phone's Time Synchronization to sync the time.

I'm using Radio 2.12.50.02_2 as it seems to give me the best battery live.

What are the others experiencing?

Could it be radio dependent?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
@Task Manager Issue : I do not plan to include any task manager in the 6.5.x builds. Many already out there like ArkSwitch which can be installed as simple cab. There is no "stock" taskmanager for 6.5.x unless I missed something in last 2 yrs :p

If people were referring to 6.5 builds (2191x) , then it will be there in 6.2 which I will be releasing in few hours (Dont remember if I missed it in RC6 ?)

@Icons : d.signs was working on a v2 set but I am not sure how much complete they are...once done they will be included
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Azrel37:
Album bmg

I deleted all of the bmg's in the ProgLauncher folder and still stock Album image...I did happen to notice you didn't have a Album.bmg. You had bmg's for everything else but album. It shows, Adobe Reader LE, Alarms, then AmeBa Settings. There is no Album(s) bmg file.:(

Best Rom Ever - Since the day i bought my HD2, way back in Jan, i have been really unhappy with the battery drain of this phone. And then i stumbled upon VBN. Since this morning 7:00 am till now - 1:00 pm with normal phone usage and some net surfing and using wifi a little bit and using push mail, i have just lot 18% battery. Now that's something.

I am getting the best battery life ever!!!!

I am sold to this ROM for ever now (and i have tried many many roms before.)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Azrel37:
Noob question

So....essentially what's the difference between the 23xxx and 24xxx builds? I know they come from diff devices and possibly use diff com ports? I mean other than that, what's the "real world" diff. Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] murattiss:
Great roms thank you for your great work. Could not enable sun rays on homescreen, is it an issue or am I missing something?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Thats the GTX Theme from Dark Ninja...softkey bar doesnt come seperately

I am still unable to understand whats the issue you are having ? What build are you using and have you installed Arkswitch/X2 Taskmanager ?

Only 6.5 builds (2191x) have the standard HTC Taskmanager on top right...other 6.5.x builds do not have it natively and have alternatives like Arkswitch and X2

Yup...looks nice but will break the black look. However, I will definitely include in the stock ROM ;)

Real world difference is subjective and best way is to test them for a duration of 24-hr each and decide on one :)

PS : I personally use 246xx branch and works great for me. On latest 24626 Black ROM I lost 5% in 7.5 hours at night. I DO NOT switch to Airplane mode or anything. Its always on with H/3G and weather updating on My Location every 30 mins. Only email check is off in that time period. So overall I am pretty satisfied for now.

Try enabling it in Co0kie Editor options...dont remember but maybe its disabled by default
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ka911:

v7 Preview

I have been thinking on what all to change for v7. So here is what I have in mind (some is complete) :

* Maximum Manila Transparency

'- Calendar Done

'- Twitter Done

'- Weather Done

'- Music Partially Done

* Color base of black with a Touch of Color throughout the ROM (Wallpapers, Manila icons, Manila bases, etc)

* 63 clear color wallpapers already collected

So essentially there will be one production line only called "Clear" ...

Please provide inputs/ideas so I can incorporate maximum before release. The core base is very stable IMO and any minor changes can go along the way.

SNEAK PREVIEW

Wallpaper Set

Modded Startup Animation

Geez..u're really a hard worker man..

not yet finish d/l RC6.2, it's already plan to v7 >.<

anyway, is it any plan to release colored/stock version on v7 or later?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Yeah...want to really plan everything for v7 and release it big.

Yes, new iconset for v7. If d.signs has time then he will do from scratch or I will pick some iconset from here on xda which matches best.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
I really think they fit perfectly in your ROM. White on black.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
The other icons also have to match then like signal , wifi etc. or use the stock ones...let me see if I can find a better combo out there for v7
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
All the other icons are in the MetroTaskbar.

I installed the MetroTaskbar_cert.cab and then the Metro Custom Mod.cab (for the circular battery gauge).

I don't know if the SdkCerts.cab is needed with your ROM, but I installed it first.

And it looks great!!!:eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vlad48:
Sanjeev, and what about releasing a 24xxx build with stock icons and no other visual and sense modifications? If I can remember correctly there was such idea...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
OK...I think he only modded the battery icons so it should work fine with stock ones...have included it in a test version and flashing it in few mins...will post screenshot to see if it goes with the theme... (IMO the stock icons will be too white for my theme)

My current v7 is toned down with extra apps removed and iconset for now has changed to transparent Firestorm one...

Stock after this one :)

RC6.2-23130-Semi black first report

RC6.2-23130-Semi black

HSPL 2.08

radio 2.12.50.02.2

stable, fast, 4% drain overnight just after flash...

semi black is the best looking theme for me atm so plz keep it in next relase plz :)

nice call quality (had to use only .51. roms before)...

some icons are "bugged", when you put them as shortcuts in CHT they are shown as old stock icons (htc_people, youtube, compas, music, voice recorder, calendar, teeter, audio booster...) It was posible to fix this with jwmd icon changer, but its not posible to save fixed theme - after save those icons are shown as stock again.

WiFi and data working fine, GPS lock fast, no problems with music tab...

instaled applications so far:

garmin

igo

bandswitch

resco file explorer...

All working fine

Can you include tbattery and DINIK - Valeria - Hybridia Switches for CHT in next relase plz?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Nice report...I am sorry those apps and icons cannot be included... I am making only one ROM from now on (concept explained few posts above)...I am actually reducing the apps included to make it lightweight as all apps are available as cabs anyways :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
@pathologo : Here is what I got with the rounded battery % mod. I dont think it fits well so I am gonna go with the black ones for now. This will definitely be there in stock version though.

@Everyone : Here is the icon preview for v7 (Firestorm Iconset). Will include d.signs custom ones when he is done (Dont want to put pressure on his schedule :D)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sentinel196:
Great ROM once again but unfortunately I am not a big fan of the transparent CHT calendar and tasks. It makes it very difficult to read appointments unless you use a very plain background. ANy chance of a CAB to replace the background?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
When the v7 ROM is released, I will put cabs for reverting to non-trans also :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
Yea, this is OK, but it seems you installed the battery mod only.

To change the other icons, too, you will have to install the MetroTaskbar. Then all taskbar icons are circular.

Please see here how it will look like.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Nope, I didnt miss them , just didnt cook them in. But the whole problem lies that they are all white and stock-ish...so will keep for the stock version
