I couldn't agree more! This is exactly why I like WM 6.5.3, it is WAAAY more finger-friendly. I never use the stylus unless I'm walking and have to write a message. Everything else on the device is accessible by fingers only!

My friend has recently bought a Touch2 with WM 6.5 which he didn't like very much because of those tiny buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and small lists & tabs. The lack of a D-Pad wasn't helping either! All this made me appreciate my Viva and WM 6.5.3 more.

Jagan, I will post some screenshots of my SMS problem when I get the chance. I guess it's hard to explain my problem without actually seeing it.

@kabir_sardana

You can't run a direct comparison between our devices like that. Your startup programs are different than mine.

To get a better perspective try clearing your startup folder (backup the shortcuts in a another folder) and disable Titanium (and every other today item). And then do a soft-reset, and measure the time until your device becomes usable (i.e. opening the start menu for example). And post the results here.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] bevburn:
I agree also. wm 6.3.5 is much easier on the fingers. I personally have big fingers and find it difficult to use the roms with the start menu at the top.

THe start menu at the bottom brings freedom in this area. I feel like I have a brand new phone all over again. I went back to 6.1 as I could get all my apps to work and was looking for a 6.5 that didnt excessively drain the battery and could handle my apps.

Then came along pajerm with an excellent rom and now Jagan has done it again with a rom that is exactly in my favor having the finger friendly start menu at the bottom but with the advantages of excellent battery life etc

I have been asking around though is there anyway to get the youtube that comes with the stock version as a cab? As I need to be able to adjust to a lower playback quality allowing me to stream you tube videos without breaks!!!!

Windows media also plays videos that I have recorded with the phone. Extreemely impressive!!

All in all though I think that the chefs have raised the quality and performance of their cooking!!

Excellent work Jagan!!!!!

Everything works as intended...great job....this is exactly the rom i was looking for.

Just one thing, if anyone knows of a good kb (i got used to ezinput 2.1 from evo2.5, now using ezinput 1.5 and have some annoying things...i miss 2.1) then let me know.

great rom

i downloaded the rom and the batt life is really awesome. but 1 thing ive notice the spbmobile shell 3.5 sense UI doesnt work on this and im wondering why coz it worked when i was using evo2...

i hope anyone can test it on their phone also and come up with solution

Overclocking Evo Ultimate Beta.

Well,those who are enthusiastic on Overclocking Opal,y'l can do that now.I have overclocked it till 288 MHz.As it is,the ROM is fast,but still,i did try to do it on various clockspeeds...it is stable on 276 and 288...for more on Overclocking,please visit this page... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=718633
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] GFX:
OK, so here's a screenshot of the SMS bug that I have (it's not an a bug in the ROM, it's just annoying that's all):

Notice how the blue selector is very tall, and the text is too small and too close to the sender's name.

This actually happens after turning off threaded view in messaging. When I turn it back on the problem is gone! But I prefer keeping it off.

@shreyas18 I dunno why EzInput 2.1 didn't work for me! I installed it right after flashing, so I could hard-reset without losing anything, and my device got stuck at the boot screen. I would love to make it work coz I really miss the compact qwerty layout which is not available in the Finger keyboard unfortunately! :(

And you're so lucky with your overclocking, I couldn't get my device to run @288 MHz, it crashes instantly, so I guess you have a very strong CPU in there!

Thank you all, and thank you Jagan for this wonderful ROM, I'm enjoying it very much.

Well,i didnt have to hard reset the device after i installed everything..but yes,after some soft resets,i did face a stocked up boot screen..well,thats a problem of a past now,i am extremely happy wid it...well,id advice that you go in for a 2-3 hard resets and then start with the customizations.

Well,thats from my end..and for overclocking,i dunno if its a miracle,but i dont face memory leaks now!!!

Sorry if its making you jealous,seriously,thanks with the Overclocking part!!!its because of you i have dared to overclock....thanks again...

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] GFX:
lol, I'm not disappointed dude! This ROM is awesome, the SMS issue is just a cosmetic annoyance that's all.. :P

The GPRS problem (now deleted) is my mistake, I reflashed the ROM and it's back to normal, so I did it to myself somehow, I don't know what's responsible for that as I'm still investigating the issue.

Sorry for the mess :)

Settings Issue

On navigating to Start Menu->Settings->Personal->Phone->Text Messages, i'm stuck at this page. The Ok button at the bottom right does not respond and I'm unable to navigate to other options in the Personal Settings panel. I can press end key and come out but whenever I go to personal settings panel, the same Text Messages panel stays open and stops navigation again.

Has anybody seen this?

Also, I switched off keypad tones but the dialer still gives off tones on hitting the numbers

BEST KEYBOARD = FingerKeyboard ... but i will try to get full ezinput keyboard (HTC Touch 2) later don't have time. It needs some mega drivers i guess.

:)

Most probably, its a build related thing, i will see if i can mod that later.

Sorry, but where is the "Text Messages" tab? i was at Start Menu>Settings>Personal>Phone but couldn't find that tab :confused:

Seems its the alternative for text messages tab or whatever it is, thanks.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] aditya_r12:
The Text Messages solution is not an alternative. Once we've navigated to this panel, there is no way to come out and check other panels in Phone Settings, like Services, Sounds, Network etc. The Phone Settings panel always opens up the Text Messages panel.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] wway:
Make softreset and dont open "Settings" in "More" tab anymore. Because there not nothing so necessary.

And don't forget, it is BETA.

Editing the Start Menu...

Well,if anyone has a problem of scrolling down the large start menu,well here's what i found..well,in the file explorer under the windows option,go in the start menu folder,make new folders as per your choice and cut-paste the programs.you can also delete the unwanted folders from the list.well,here's the screenshot view if at all,y'l don't get me!!!:P
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] GFX:
You can find the USB connection program in the Windows folder. It's hidden by default, but you can see it using Resco Explorer.

A simpler way would be to make a new shortcut, and let it point to

"\windows\usbtopc.exe"

then move the shortcut to the start menu, or just keep it in your storage card.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jagan2:
Setting tab - for now i assume it's a build related problem.

And since it's beta ROM which concentrates on Speed, batt life and windows media player so shortcuts, connection setting have not been included properly.

Successful overclocking to 276???[well,got that frm your signature]
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] JoxeeM:
CURRENT CLOCK SPEED:288 MHz

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Sendoloco:
hi jagan

from venezuela

spanish?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] GFX:
Yeah, it's stable @ 276, 288 crashes my device.

From my experience in PC overclocking I learned that overclocking is mainly dependent on your hardware.

For example, if you take a bag full of identical CPUs and try to overclock them one by one, you'll find that you're not getting the same result for every CPU.

Some will probably overclock by 10%, some by 30%, even 50% if you're so lucky, and maybe some of them will not overclock at all.

And that's why I said earlier that you're lucky with your CPU! Because you've got a rare piece of hardware dude! :cool:

@Jagan Maaaan your ROM rooooocks!!:D Very stable, and fast, there's also something better in IE, I feel it's faster than Evo2. I'm guessing that the 235xx ROM branch is improved somehow. I like it more than the 25xxx that you used in Evo2.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Shreyas Jani:

Well,the ROM does rock.i mean i haven't returned to my stock after getting my hands on this...well, only problem with me is the ROM doesn't have the Task Manager which the stock rom has..this makes navigation[multitasking to be specific] from one page/app to other a bit tedious.In the Stock/similar 6.5's to the stock,i just tap the quickmenu and bang...the whole list of open apps is there before me,thereby making my wok more easy...i use opera mini 10....i am not sure if its a warez,but i guess it is a freeware.if anyone could confirm this for me,id post it here..thats the best i have ever used...best because i can open multiple tabs on it.even the IE on this ROM is good,but the scroller for zoom is what provides a glitch while browsing...

Well,@Jagan,i'd like to see something similar to the stock...the 21XXX build which has the task bar on the top...just a suggestion,not compulsion...

As always,the ROM is too fast & with the overclocking,my device is an envy for all my friends and WM users!!!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Shreyas Jani:
Overclocking....

i think 288 is the highest clock speed to which an Opal user has over clocked the device.i think its Karthiksk and myself...I suggest do not go beyond this...We have reports on 300MHz,still,be safe and play under 288MHz only..

Hi, Shreyas i have announced this many many times that use Ark switch task manager with windows mobile 6.5.3 ROM's. Just try it, forget that HTC task manager which comes when u press the drop down button - its crap. Search the forum for Arkswitch!

Whenever you hardreset, or flash a new ROM all the partnership your phone made with your PC gets lost. Now all you have to do is connect your phone to the PC via activesync then go the Windows Mobile Device Center > Mobile device setting and then setup a new partnership.

Opera Mobile, Mini, Opera all are free! and almost everyone uses Opera Mini or Mobile it's like a essential software for mobs. And its better that users download Opera Mini 5.1 or Opera Mobile 10 from official site (latest).

Great Work!!

Thanks jagan2 for releasing the ß-version. Your ROM is always most of the best ROM for Viva out there. But then, here's is my two cents. This merely just an opinion of me. I still love your ROM as what it is. : )

Overall was perfect. IDK either it's the ROM or what since I'm not much of a chef for cooking ROMs, but I do love the rectangular shapes menu rather than this circle-ish. I think that's the previous ROM version. I love the way WM 6.5 is with the sliding menu style. I'm not much fan of Manila2D since I don't pretty much use the widget, just not atm. But even with it, it wont give any difference since I can just disable it. The keyboard need times too get to used to it. After a while, I pretty much get used to it with the gesture backspace/space. I love that function. Although I love it, I do miss the EZInput with have a proper keyboard arrangement. If only the keyboard you use have the arrangement as EZInput, it will be awesome. : D Another things that really comes in mine is the oversize font. IDK why, I see them like super huge. I normally see them in few places, but I do remember one place that is ActiveSync. Everything else just works wonder.

For the mean time, this is one of best ROM I ever tried. Everything is handy and smooth. Great job on ß. Hope to see nice real deal on the final version. Good luck.

There will be a setting in there about asking you first about USB connection type. This may have accidentally become unchecked. If you select it you should then be asked what kind of connection you want the next time you sync up.

Update: It appears that the USB to PC shortcut is missing fromthis ROM. Does anyone know if it is still in here and we just need to create a shortcut for it?
