​

Hello guys & girls,

Here is the much awaited Evolution-Ultimate but its in Beta! It's because i alone can't decide its perfection. So join me and we will find out together its perfection. Let me know what all i can improve and remember than don't expect all features as its in beta so i might have intensionally removed some.

So the ROM is neat, clean and bugfree. And yes i didn't forgot the battery life, this time its more than that of Evolution 2. If you are a fan and love Evolution 2 then you have a good reason to upgrade to this version which you will ♥ :D.

You have been requesting for public release, i didn't ignored you but i was waiting for the completion of final version but i think until that this one would be a gift for you all!

What's More?

Go through the below feature list etc and grab your copy via attachments.

Edit: Goodbye, Touch Viva! Was a great experience to learn something new.

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] GFX:
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I really appreciate your work, I've been using your Evo2 ROM since it was released, and I'm amazed by your work! Never had any problems whatsoever!!

I'm sure this version will be of top quality. Downloading now, and will report my feedback after flashing..

Thanks again.

@guybrush777 This IS the correct version I guess. It was actually a closed beta when it was released in June. I believe Jagan will confirm my opinion.

EDIT: I will post my testing reports in the appropriate thread to keep this one clean.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Kurso:
Hi jargan,

Thanks for sharing the Betaversion :)

Is it somehow possible to integrate EzInput?

I just flashed the ROM, and it's just PERFECT and really FAST

I wonder if i can install Manila 2D in this ROM, i tried to install Manila 2D v. 2.0 but it didn't work, it kept saying "tab here to launch TouchFlo" even after a softreset i got the same result. Once i tab it tries to load then it says tab again, and it happen over n over.

Any help would be appreciated

And Jagan, many MANY thanks for the great effort and the awesome ROM, i loved everything on it
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] rksthakur:
I appreciate your hard effort..!

Thank You..for releasing most awaited Evolution Ultimate..!:D

I am a big fan of ur Evolution 2.5, using without any trouble..

Now time to give try to new member of Evolution series...

Will update you after flasing.

Thanks again for your great work:)

@rksthakur:Please read PM.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
You are welcome, and yes if you liked Evo2 then this one is something evolved form of that ROM, more fast, more batt life :D

@guybrush777 This IS the correct version I guess. It was actually a closed beta when it was released in June. I believe Jagan will confirm my opinion.

EDIT: I will post my testing reports in the appropriate thread to keep this one clean.[/QUOTE]

Yes, you are absolutely right :)

And you can post your results in this thread itself, i will keep the other thread for some other ROM testing.

I will test and let you know later, for now use fingerkeyboard, it has accuracy better than any other available keyboard.

Most probably you have missed some M2D package, right now i don't have my device to test but you can go to M2D V2.0 Thread and install all the required cabs.

And glad that you liked.

:)

Thanks again
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] lkachun9129:

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Sorry, m not able to understand your question.

Aah you reminded me, though i haven't included MMS and voicemail in this version you can expect in the final version or whatever the next ROM will be :)

And you are welcome.

Aah yes its another thing i wanted to do, will do it soon.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] P0yraz:

Manilla

I have been waiting for ths ROM since the day i installed Evo 2.5... What exactly is better? Depending on what is different only will I upgrade.

This doesnt have TouchFLO which i require.

Basically how is this ROM better than EVO 2.5?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
As mentioned in the first post,

Expect it to be a hell lot faster than EVO 2.5 and yes batt life will be like this Evo-Ultimate>Evo2>Evo 2.5.

More details, Try it or wait for others to report :p
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] P0yraz:
This is really nice ROM amazing great performance and speed Wo0oW it is wonderfull I really loved it I just need to instal Manila on it for touch flo right? and is it better to be on main memory or no matter where it is?

and I have just two problem here (ofcourse except MMS :D :P) first in

start>Settings>Personal>Input when you go to optin part there is no way to come out either ok nor windows bottons work there.

and I can't find task maneger at top of page in today and also other place :D is this my problem I just can't find it?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
No comments on Manila coz i haven't tested it yet.

But taskmanager, you couldn't find it coz its not there :p

My experience says, for windows mobile 6.5.3 default taskmanager or htc taskmanager = useless.

Install Arkswitch, the best one for Evo-Ultimate. Search the forum for it.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] JoxeeM:
Good work in this rom

~ But the keyboard no are the ezinput :(
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Welcome, Glad that you liked. It will be great if you post the EzInput keyboard version you installed, see above our friend JoxeeM is sad :p
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] wway:
People! It is a very Lite rom. And it is a BETA!

-No Manila.

-No Ezinput.

-Original WM theme and icons. (It is very good)

-Stable only US region. (it is only one little problem for me, because I'm Russian... and I have programs, which are freeware only for russian region... )

(Original task manager you can find in "windows/taskMgr" and then create a shortcut in "windows/Start Menu/Programs")

I love this ROM, because there is only all necessary for work and nothing superfluous.

I can instal only that, what I really need. (PhonEx, SPB keyboard, Arkswitch, Core Player, Resco Explorer/Registry/Photo Manager.)

ROM very fast & stable. Very long battery life... That's all i need. :p

Thank you once again Jagan2!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] user28:
Thank you for replying. Lets wait and see if Jagan can reply for a few more days. I checked your lock screen thread as i noticed it in your signature... wow really good work.. can u share the satus bar icons or a cab file which can give that appearance.. really i like that. Can u share some good taskbar programs which can represent colourful icons (if you came across any good ones).

By the way downloaded your WP7 lock screen and the N3 Beta. But my device is saying as the installation is unsuccessful.

Clueless as to what is wrong. I am using HTC touch viva with Jagan's Evo ultimate ROM.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] marcopolo:
Hi There,

Thanks for your hard work!

I tried flashing my cell phone as instructed in this forum however at the end of the wizard and after the update was started, it gave me an error that the image is currupt. Can you help me understand this problem and I will really appreciate if you could get me solution too.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] marcopolo:
Hey Dude!

How did you do it? I have already wasted my 7 hours on this and still researching. I tried flashing my memory many times with this and other ROMs also but it always give me "Corrupt Image" error.

Can you or someone else in this thread help me?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] elmad83:
Is that error 270 after flashing 2% completion? If so, refer to one of the thread in the same section as 'step by step instructions to flash a ROM...'

You need to unlock the device to allow custom ROMs to be flashed.. Called SPL..if not done you get error 270.

This may help you.

To get accurate help/suggestion.... write error code..as every code means a different error.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] gauravbaadshah:
hey jagan

when can we expect the final release of the ROM?

we all know you must be working real hard and must be super busy with your stuff. :)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] waseemshaaban:
Great ROM

Dear friend.

it is really a great ROM "as usual"

would you just make it with M2D and when would we expect it??

thanx man,

Help!

Dont' know why but I am not able to install this UI sucessfully on my OPAL. It just hangs my smart phone once all the installation gets completed. Any solution?:confused ::(

Thanks.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] gp.triple:

what's the name of this UI?

is androkidd or another?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] marcopolo:
Thanks for your reply, it was naong MobileSense 3.5.3.20100206.en and it did work after I did a hard reset. This issue has been resolved.

Thanks buddy:)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Hi,

Glad to see once again!

Aah yes i won't miss regional setup in final version and MMS promise!

Yours,

jagan2
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] wway:
Hi, and I glad to see You here too!

MMS... I think it's useless, but if people really needs... )))

And Without Russian region too, I won't refuse this ROM... Has already adapted. )))

But if only these 2 things appears, then ROM will be simply ideal. (I think, not only for me...)

And you will have less work. ;)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jmpnjimbob:
MMS

Is there a quick and/or simple way to get MMS working? At least that way one of the two things just mentioned will be up and running and be closer to a final ROM (and possibly keep people happy).

p.s. And yes, I'll be happy to post a link to the EzInput keyboard once I search the forums to find it.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jmpnjimbob:
EZinput

DONOT QUOTE THIS POST AND REPLY

I've just downloaded the Beta and have it installed. Thanks for releasing your Beta. It's always nice to get a new ROM to play with. :)

I've installed the EzInput keyboard, Manila 2D v1.2 and ArkSwitch plus a few other minor apps. Will also post my findings here as they come up. So far so good.

My apologies to everyone. I did a search and used the first link that I found here on XDA for the EzInput 2.1 keyboard. I have since done Hard Reset my phone, and installed EzInput v2.1 from the following link.

This is a link to pcarvalho's EzInput v2.1 keyboard for QVGA devices from our forums.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535326

Please read the post thoroughly so that you understand and download what you need to get the keyboard up and running.

Another app that you will need is Sleuth255's SipChange. It is what allows you to change your default keyboard.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=271008

I have found that when I try to change the keyboard options that this doesn't seem to be working. This could be because this is a Beta ROM, I don't know for sure.

It Works,have to hold and release the icon for 2-3sec's and then the menu displaying keyboard options pops up.

You can always try the older EzInput v1.5 keyboard.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426281&highlight=EzInput+qvga

This post has links for various phone resolutions as well as various other accessory packages that you might need. So read the post carefully and make sure that you only download files for QVGA devices.

Once again, sorry for the confusion. Good luck.

Mod Edit/Suggession:Well, y'l can use SKTools for customizing keyboard options and preferences,delete a keyboard,if after a soft reset,the default keyboard pops up instead of ezInput.SKTOOLS>INPUT OPTIONS.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] P0yraz:
Thanks again man it really works well for me I'm going to install some apps right now and may I ask what is the name of keyboard you used for 2.5? (I'm new on windows mobile and I don't know and I forgot the names) is it what the others recommend to install?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Kurso:
I already tried this, but to me the same problem as reported in the thread happens: After rebooting, the Phone freezes in the bootmenu and I had to reflash the Evo Ultimate Beta Rom....
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] wway:
Reflash??? :eek: :D

Check This! => Touch Viva Hard reset
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] P0yraz:
I just installed it and now my phone doesn't comes up it freez on ever first page
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Kurso:
Yeah I meant Hard Reset, I just used the wrong word ^^

If you refer to the EzInput, then this is what I already said and you have to perform a Hard Reset.

If you refer on flashing the Evo Ultimate Rom, then you should check this thread first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685025
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] P0yraz:
Thanks I did hard Reset

ROM Reviews!

Well,not much on this coz i found the ROM somewhat similar to the other in the present EVO series.not much of a disappointment though,it performs exceptionally well in the rash conditions i put to it...not much problems[nil actually] since i'v flashed it since 11hours[approx]...still,Jagan,i'd like to see a clean 6.5[start tab on top] from you,which has hTC's task manager!!!Not forcing,still,its a request!!!

Love this work,Thanks!

Respect & Regards,Shreyas.Moderator.

hey guys... i wanna know that ... is there any way to hide or remove the start menu bar????? from this rom..??

the rom is great....

speed is like light....

but i just wanna know that is there any way to do so...??!!! :D

:)

thanks in advance..... ;)

Whats the problem???

Please eleborate....

sorry i didn't discribe u carefully...

i want to say that how can i

get this type of start menu...

from this....

sorry i didn't describe properly... :(

I don't see a download link in the OP, did the author take it down???
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] neo1234matrix:

is there any thing that full screen keyboard in horizontal mode...????

we are not getting the fullscreen keyboard in that mode..... :P

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jmpnjimbob:
start menu issue

This is a reply to neo1234matrix a few posts earlier.

If I understand you correctly you would like the start menu to appear at the top of the screen versus the bottom as it does now, correct?

jagan2's ROM is using Windows Mobile version 6.5.3. From what I know all WM ROMs from version 6.5.3 and up have the start button located at the bottom of the screen.

To get the Start button at the top of the screen you are going to have to find a ROM that is using WM 6.5. There are ROMs out there using WM 6.5 but you will have to look around a bit.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] kabir_sardana:
could be better!

i am currently using evo 2.5 and dont have any problem at all so will not flash to evo ultimate because a few reasons

1) touch flo is very imp to me

2)everyone and also i want ezinput

3)do not like the start menu bar of this version of home screen.

one question - is this 6.5.3 and evo 2.5 was 6.5.1? and whats the diff bw the 2?

speed and battery are totally fine on evo 2.5 for me and those are the only 2 things better in this rom i think and the 3 above features are not there. this is beta version so i hope u add 3 above features to the final version. when approx will you release evo ultimate final?

btw your roms otherwise are so perfect that htc should use them on opal as stock rom!

thanks for making the a mid range phone like viva feel so high end!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] kabir_sardana:
he wants it on this rom only i guess... thats y hes asking...otherwise he can install evo 2.5!

Dark Ninja Android Taskbar QVGA.cab

or are you talking about the upper and lower start?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] GFX:
OK everybody, here's my report:

Before I post my results, I have to say that I overclock my CPU to 276MHz. And I have installed all my previous programs that I had on Evo2.

Improvements over Evo2: (both ROMs overclocked and have the same programs in startup)

- The ROM is lightning fast! I can feel a 25% boost in overall speed.

- Boot up speeds are 20 seconds faster. Can now boot in 1:40, was 2:00 in Evo2. (boots in 60 seconds with no startup programs! :))

- WiFi more stable somehow! I used to have some random disconnections before, but now it's perfect, even on "Best Battery" mode!

- Battery life seems to be better, however I don't have a lifetime estimates because I installed the ROM less than 24 hours ago. But I gotta say I'm very impressed so far!

Bugs/Problems:

- Tried to install EzInput 2.1 (from pcarvalho) and it crashed my device so I had to hard reset. Installed FingerKeyboard 2.1 for now, and it works great.

- Installed Arabic support from MOBiDIV (found here on XDA) and I have no problems with Arabic writing/reading.

- I have a weird issue in the text messages program, the SMS preview text (in the list of messages) is too small and too close to the sender name! Never had this issue with Evo2. If I increase the text size in the device options the problem persists, the size is bigger, but the preview text is still too close to the sender name! Any idea how to fix it?

Other than that it's all perfect. This is really the ultimate ROM from jagan. I don't know how he does all this, but his ROMs keeps on getting better every time. Keep it up man, and thanks for all the hard work.

What I like most about the Evo series is their lightness. No additional programs, and no ugly UI customizations! It's all default, so it becomes our playground! I customized it according to MY needs. I respect that very much.

I will update this post when I have some more results.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
@jmpnjimbob: Thanks for your explaination.

@neo1234matrix, kabir_sardana and all others who don't know about the different Windows Mobile version.

Alright, there are different versions of Windows Mobile:

Windows Mobile 6.1 - Iam pretty much sure that you all are aware of this version (It came with your device as stock ROM! and WM 6.1 is no more developed)

Windows Mobile 6.5 - In simple words all the ROMs that have start button on top are powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 and it was officially released last year October. (Example - It's stock ROM of HTC Touch2 or Mega, Evolution 2.5A is also powered by Windows Mobile 6.5). Also this version is still active in development.

Windows Mobile 6.5.1 - The builds that were part of the transformation from WM 6.5 to WM 6.5.3, it is basically a mixture of WM 6.5 and WM 6.5.3 (It has Start Menu at bottom). It has been never officially released and its no longer used by chefs.

Windows Mobile 6.5.3 - Windows Mobile 6.5.3 is the most latest version of Windows Mobile (Latest than WM 6.5). Now many don't like its Start button at bottom (especially touch viva users) but if you actually use it for sometime, you will find its a hell lot easier to use than WM 6.5. It's because WM 6.5.3 is designed for finger friendly, you will not need stylus often if you have a ROM powered by this version. Example:- Evolution 2 and Evolution-Ultimate Beta.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you are one of the MANY who think that higher the build number = The latest build and version then let me tell you it's NOT how u think! Each build is comes from a particular branch [See the below quote]

So now for example let's take two builds 1. 23686 and another 2. 23012. Now these two builds are from diff branch (note the build numbering pattern) so the build 23012 (which is lower in number than the other build) can be actually a higer version/latest version than build 23686!

I hope that was easy to follow.

If anyone finds someone asking the same question as neo1234matrix plz link him to this particular post.

Then this rom is probably not for you. Its powered by Windows Mobile 6.5.3 so you can't change the start button location.

Thanks for the compliments.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
See the attachments of the first post.

Great observations, even i too didn't knew about boot speed lol.

That SMS thing i can't get exactly what u mean, u send me details via PM later. Great that you customized the ROM according to your taste :)

BTW no comments on Windows Media Player? It now plays video :p

And you are welcome.
