I'm at work, but I'll download and try this out over lunch. I originally had the same XDA_UC issues. I'll report back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FL5:
XDA_UC ran to completion for me with the new test rom. I see that you figured out what to do about the donation screen. Nice touch.

Now where are my big pretty wallpapers?!?

BTW, if you decide to go beta^2 and cook CHT2 into 21679, remember to cook in this reg key.

Cheers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Svein10:
Thats strange homerino85, I have installed CHT 2 on the beta and it has never been as fast as it is now!!! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FL5:
Truth.

When it runs good, it is sooooo zippy-fast.

But it is still buggy, and will lock up and crash at times, too. Some folk just aren't rabid over getting all the shiny newness if it comes at the cost of stability. Such is the way with betas.

That having been said, having tested UC for Seem, I think I'm gonna go test flash something else until the next beta drops.

Probably time to put the ORD link in my sig...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Svein10:
:) I even haven't had any crashes.... :) Yes I think you are an ORD, just put it in your sig!!! Ha, ha!

Hi seeM_ZA,

I'm very happy with your ROM from 17.9 (23569), magic speed, smoothness, memory management..no SOD's, what more could one want? :)

But have a question - why isn't possible use with your's ROM(such this latest) CHT+Language Pack R2 ? ...I got for some items(expl.: Messages, Mails) untranslated parts (well I can not remember to exact names something in this value : Messages_Options, Messages_Delete ....for me are this untranslated parts).

The same procedure is absolute functional on other ROMs (Energy, Athine - it was tested).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
Try the language pack on post 2.

EDIT: I removed the language files from manila and added them into that pack, I think I'm going to include them from now on though..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
I'm sorry I didn't see it :o I'm adding you now.. I've read your post, thanks for the feedback :) And thanks for reading all those pages :p lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] smithisize:
Seem, thought you may like to know I think I solved the weird keyboard problem, and it didn't have anything to do with your ROM (which we kinda already figured :) )

I was using NRG'z att layout cab from his ROM's, and it has always been kinda buggy, so I'm using a different cab now and it seems to be working alright :)

Regards, looking forward to next release!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DanWolfe:
I've been testing this beta since yesterday with CHT2. I didn't have the problems with XDA_UC that I had previously. I have had absolutely no problems at all. I did have to make the registry change (mentioned a couple pages back) to fix the positioning of the bar across the top that has the carrier text in it... Though, I'm sure if you cook in CHT2 that will be included. I've seen a couple bugs in CHT2, but nothing that has to do with the beta.

This rom is so fast and stable... I'm in love. Thanks Seem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ariost:
A big thanks to you, Seem. To me, your ROM was the difference between keeping my device (and loving it) or throwing it away. I'm running the 3.08. version. It may not exactly be the ultimate demon of speed(ocassionally it needs to think a sec), but compared to what I had before - it kinda is.

Bugs: the quicklinks don't always work all right (but you probably know this and fixed it in the newer versions).

Also when I reboot I always start with a red Vodafone screen. I wonder if that is normal. After a HSPL I ran Task29. It ran to 100%, then of course the only way I could do anything to the device was flashing the rom from the card. Shouldn't the starting Vodafone screen be gone after Task 29?

If that's not obvious enough, it was my first ROM flash. I do not intend to spend more time tweaking the device than actually using it, and I'm really satisfied with what this rom has to offer, so I consider maybe one more flash (if a newer stable version emerges) and that will be it.

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] andersondb1:
Hi Seem,

I added the caller history tab from Uzeb, and it removed the settings tab. i disabled facebook, music, etc to see if it would come back but no luck.

I made a shortcut using the settings.exe file in \windows to get me there but is there a way to have this tab and still view all the others?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FL5:
Task 29 specifically does not wipe two things: 1) Your Radio 2) Your Bootsplash

Both of those must be flashed independently from your OS ROM. Weird, right? No worries, though. You can flash your boot splash at any time without messing up anything else. Search the forums and you'll dig up a few alternatives. Popular choices tend to include the stock black screen that says "Touch Pro 2" and the newer white "HTC" screen.

Aaaaargh...

What a lot of people don't seem to get is that adding a Sense tab isn't quite so simple as installing your normal little non-sense-integrated apps.

To add tabs to Sense, you *have* to modify manila files. Just to make things not user friendly, HTC numbers the tabs within those files (sequentially, starting @ 1). If you know what you're doing, renumbering for a new tab is a cinch. However, cab installers are basically "dumb," and just drop in whatever number the cabber popped in. If you started off with one more tab than the guy that made the cab (in this case, probably the facebook tab), then your last tab's settings (usually Settings Tab) get overwritten. If you didn't back up that manila file, you will have to modify it manually to recover it. However, if you're not comfy with diddling about in your manila files, you may just need a hard reset to get things back in order.

The moral of this story? *NEVER* install Sense tabs from a cab file unless it is provided directly from the chef who cooked the ROM, and is meant specifically for that ROM. Those things aren't usually transferable, and people that make these cabs without providing adequate warnings/instructions need a hammer to the junk.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tiemen_S:
Not sure why, but I flashed the 23569 Beta (latest 23xxx available) and used some XDA_UC placed cabs. Ninjaduck Opera 10, Opera 10 integration and I ran a T9 dictionary cab (Dutch) afterwards.

For the first time since long ago I experienced some SOD's on the day I flashed, but it seems stable right now (one day later).

I'm not sure what triggered it, but it was right after some texting (and setting up everything). I also turned the CHT option "Lock on standby" off again (I usually put this on there) and re-enabled it in the Tools section of the Start Menu.

Not sure, will report if it remains stable now.

Speaking of CHT. I completely cleaned the 3 non-home pages you can adjust and made the "quicklink" level a level with a clock and the big music player. Though this seems lighter than the original set-up to me (all pages with something), CHT doesn't run as fast as I've seen it on your ROMs before. Reboot/sliding a couple of times doesn't improve a thing. Any idea why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] neforce:
I've tried many, many roms, but:

This is the MOST stable and fastest rom i've ever used!

It's so slick, so sweet and fast! I like it!!

Please continue developing! I stay tuned!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigchrizzieboy:
(hopefully) your asnwers

Can you share your dutch T9 dictonary cab?:) Another dutch user over here.

Could be many things, try the tips in my post earlier (1483). Most off the times it happend to me it was my SD-card.

Probaly because it's still a beta and it's not cooked in in this rom.

Personaly I think the 23569-build is not that fast and stable...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schumifer1:
After some more days living with the rom i can say that ram usage climbs too easily compared to at least one of the earlier rom that i used. That i believe is owed to the previous notice, that every program doesn't exit when the button is pressed

"-programs i use(sms, medical, gps, others) appear in the top right drop down menu (of the home screen) as if they are still there waiting for me to shut them down(after i close them). Anyway we can make the top right X button on every application REALLY CLOSE the program? I know i had this in other roms; that is why i ask."

Also is there a simple way to change the maximum allowable mms size (it is 100kb)??? And, are you sticking with arcsoft mms? If i wanted to try htc's app for mms, which cab would you suggest?

I absolutely, positively need to CHANGE THE damned BATTERY ICON to something i can check without hurting my eyes.

-which cab do you suggest for quickstartmenu (i like the current start menu but i would trade it in a heartbeat for memory!)?

Finally please point to me the roms you would like that i upload to rapidshare.com (here or in pm)

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Svein10:
What version are you using?

Regarding the Bat indicator, you can use another Task Bar if you want, it's several cab's out here, one is Brians Task Bar... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schumifer1:
3/9 21887 2016 cht

I do not want to change the task bar. It is more than ok for me. I just need bat and time indications always and simultaneously active. I know i had that before.

Svein have you also noticed that the apps don't close with their own x button but you need to close them with top right task manager?

Also how much mem do you have available after 2 days of full usage?

Are you using htc messaging? In arcsoft, do you know how to change mms size to over 100 kb?

Also, to the chef

I have heard a rumor about an fm radio version-or hack- that would allow its use without the headphones. Do you know anything?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FL5:
23xxx is a dog. 21679 is so incredibly better. 21680 is supposed to improve upon it even more so, and I rabidly await a 21680 build.

Dude. The X button behavior is in your standard windows 6.5 settings. You can easily make it close applications on a tap (default is minimize on tap, close on long press). Dig around a bit; you might find some other stuff in there that you like as well.

The mms size limit can be bumped up to 600k for ATT users. There's an easy cab fix floating around the boards.

My advice is to stick with arcsoft. HTC Messaging is a dog. It's a prettier dog, but a dog nonetheless.

You can basically go with any of the start menu replacements. They're all ugly, but they all allow you to toss the stock start menu, which is basically your only objective anyway, as you'll already have links to anything you actually use in CHT. MM has a new one in beta that got released this morning. Planning on trying it later!

Mad love for Brian's Task Bar! (Seems to muck up my soft keys in tmail in Simplicity though, for some reason...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Svein10:
Thanks schumifer1, unfortunately I don't use that use that version, not shore if I tried it.., so I can't help you with that one.. :( I use 23xxx and the newest simplicity_26_September_21679_BETA with the start menu in the bottom... The beta is the best up to now... :D

Regarding turning FM radio on without the headphones, I have tried it, and because the headphones functions as an antenna you are not able to find any stations... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] smithisize:
October 1st final ROM? :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FL5:
Final roms are for those without a sense of adventure!

Go for a 21680 Beta! It's fastolicious!

(BTW - you can cook the HTC volume control into these builds! The 216xx series keeps making me happier and happier!)

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DonS:
How do you change the CHT settings to have two rows of icons on the home screen instead of one? I cannot seem to find that setting in the CHT editor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
Wow ;) I have to admit that wallpaper looks too awesome haha. Thanks to Lechux for that one :) I'm glad you're using the new sig pic as well. Thanks bro (^^,)

That's because it's found in the Edit Home layout -> Advanced page ;) Have fun! (^^,)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DonS:
I agree with these statements. Keep the core ROM very minimal. What would be perfect would be to have links to download the latest ROM early in this thread and another message with links for where to download useful CABs. I have a folder on my memory card with the CABs for the stuff I install after flashing. I don't use XDA_UC. I just have my stuff all in one place.

I believe this approach will reduce the number of times we have to flash our devices. While some of us have gotten good at setting up a new ROM, it would be better to not have to do it so often.

I bought this phone to USE it, not spend a half hour every day running task29, flashing a new ROM, and then setting it up again. No matter how good I get at that, it then takes another half hour to sync all my contacts, notes, tasks, and emails for multiple email accounts. Who wants to spend an hour every day or two flashing a new ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DutchDanny:
Go to Menu @ taskbar--> Edit Home layout --> Level 1 - main Home --> Click advanced @ bottom --> And here you can change what you want.

Hope it was helpful
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DutchDanny:
I realy like this rom ! !

Keep it Simple ! !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
I totally agree with you. The only reason I've released 3 ROMs in 4 days is to try and fix the bugs that were in the ROMs (I mean, they weren't small bugs you know). From now on I'll release them a lot less frequently, I'm still not sure how frequent though. XDA_UC is not that different to keeping all of your cabs in one folder. It's pretty easy to use and it's gonna speed up so many people's setup times with this ROM. I've modded it a little so that it won't bother you AT ALL, if you don't want to use it. And if you're worried about size, it's only 161 KB (^^,)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] turku:
Installed the new rom yesterday.

It really runs great!

Still have issues with the system notification. Still phonenumber instead of contact name. Is there a way to fix it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
I posted about that and deleted it by mistake :o

I think its normal for windows mobile to show the number instead of the name. You can try this cab which does fix it. But it also adds some icons in the notification bar that I think are ugly. If anyone knows a better solution please go ahead and post it (^^,)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tumdace:
Totally agree. Was stuck in NRG roms cause I hoped that the next one released would suddenly run better.. nope, just add more useless features I dont need and slowing it down further.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tkalli:
Just installed your 23121 July 27 ROM.

Very nice work.

It is fast and I just started to check various menus.

Did not find Owner Information in the Personal Folder.

Haven't seen any mention of this, so it may be only me.

​
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
Hey guys :) I need to ask a big favour from one of you kind souls ;). I've just set up my Paypal donations account, and I'd like to test it out. So could someone please transfer the minimum amount allowed by Paypal (I'm not sure what it is, but one cent would be ideal) to my account? I don't want to put the button in this thread until I'm sure it's working properly.

PM me if you're interested (^^,) Thanks!

About the Owner Info thing, it's not only you. I forgot to add that tweak :) Edit the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide" to 0 and you should be fine. I'll make sure it's cooked in that way in the next release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] keeshond:
Agree with you on the NRG things. It has too many features.

I've installed this ROM (27th) yesterday and until now I haven't seen anything unusual. This is really cool :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tumdace:
Just installed the 23121 build, July 27th, and love it. I think it runs faster then the july 25 21911 build.

I even threw swype back on there since im addicted to it now.

I was looking up stuff about CHT's lockscreen causing memory leaks. How do I disable it?

PS Just ran into an issue. None of my location/data services are working. I cannot download satellite data in QuickGPS, I cannot get weather location data. It just wont work. (3G is saying full bars).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
It's disabled by default. (^^,) Enjoy!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mnementh666:
Quick potentially stupid question:

Did Swype get removed from the 21911 Rom?

Did I flash an old version? :D

Glad to see the work you're putting in, greatly appreciated, and this is the kind of ROM I was really looking for.

I might vote for removing CHT maybe providing a cab or link to it... but that's your call, not mine :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tumdace:
Did you see what I added about data?

I cant get it to work no matter what I do, about to do a hard reset. Any suggestions before I do that?

Ill donate when I get home from work in a couple hours.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
Do you have swype on the 27 July ROM? If so, I slipped up. It's supposed to be removed from all my ROMs, but the download link for the cab file is on the first page, second post :confused:

I'm actually really considering that or maybe even having two versions, standard sense and CHT.

Thanks for the paypal thing bro (^^,)

Sorry I never saw it. I'm sorry man I've never experienced that. I've noticed that my location in the weather tab updates a lot faster and with a greater success rate when connected to WiFi. So you could try that. Could everyone else please confirm if their QuickGPS + my location is working?

Also, is your normal data connection working? E.g browsing opera on 3g/edge.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mnementh666:
Huh... weird. I have "simplicity_27_July_21911_2011.7z" file, which I flashed, no swype installed after the fact... Oh well... no big deal. Just thought I read wrong or something. :D

Not a problem!

Works perfect with your rom except for the online album feature. I guess it' up to the chief to make that work. I know that not many uses the facebook tab, but

I really like it and it´s the only way I use facebook. So my suggestion is to include it to the rom and make sure the online album feature works :-)

OTHERWISE THE BEST ROM OUT THERE BY FAR!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
I'm a big facebook fan myself (^^,) I'm definitely going to get that facebook tab up and running one of these days, don't worry. Depending on it's size, I might try to make it's installation a choice (gotta love XDA_UC).

And yes I love that valkyrie icon set as well. I might be doing something with that too, we'll see ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
I've noticed that the lock on standby option, together with having a pin code to unlock causes some unwanted SODs.

Change wallpaper mode to "Regular" somewhere in CHTEditor, if it isn't already. That makes the most noticeable difference.

Don't believe all the hype these new SYS builds get... :rolleyes:

I actually plan on releasing final ROMs soon, I'm gonna be writing final exams in two weeks so I won't have time for cooking. Final ROMs are also for those who actually use their phone for what they bought it for :p. Unfortunately this means that those suffering from ORD won't really stick with simplicity, buuuut that's an unfortunate (and necessary) sacrifice.

HTC Volume control is cooked in.. Unless you mean the pretty transparent one, while listening to music/watching videos? I think that's just a reg entry away.. It's a bit too buggy to me, unless a newer version fixed that..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tiemen_S:
I don't use the PIN and wall already was set to Regular. I'll just keep trying different settings until your final version is out. If the lag remains, I'll just go for non-CHT :).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schumifer1:
True, the x button was in the settings, but i had never had to change it before, so i did not remember it!!!

As for another taskbar, i don't want to hog down the phone with extra candy.

If the chief has something in store for the battery icon i will wait.

BSB didn't do the trick. I still don't have both battery and time indications on the taskbar, but i will search some more...

Also, good to hear that we are reaching the "final destination" with simplicity. Fully 100% behind him on that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] seeM_ZA:
I don't have anything planned for the battery icon. Use 216xx build for time + battery indications. Using a different taskbar won't hog down the phone in any way :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] FL5:
1. Because CHT2 is so much faster, it is easy to give in to the temptation to add more stuff to your homescreen. I have been doing just this over the past few days. All the new gadgets and wizmos seem so tantalizing and fantastic at first, until you notice how much of a drag they put on the thing.

HD wallpaper puts a huge drag on performance, as does adding in free links or widgets.

Reverting to a setup that more closely mimics the way I had CHT1.8.5 set up brought me back to being much faster.

To get more like 1.8.5, change the setting that makes quicklink and widget pages independent, then change widget pages to 1 instead of 3. Everything but the quick/free links will be stuck in place, but your quicklinks pages will dart across the screen for you.

2. But... but... I LOVE hype!

(Seriously though, is it not better or something? All I know is what these magical intarweb forums tell me.)

Further, who says I'm not using my phone for exactly what I bought it for!

(I'm not... but I hardly thing that's relevant at all! I am enjoying it!)

3. I'm not really sure what I'm blathering on about with volume controls. They all function the same, and none of them spend a huge amount of time onscreen, especially when I change profiles for the office by just flipping the "vibrate" toggle. So, yeah, the aesthetics of having a "pretty" one as opposed to the white screen with the two sliders are kinda goofy. To be fair, I'm sleep deprived and crazy this week.

4. Looking forward to the final build :p

Simplicity always gets immediately flashed.
