[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Automan:
I have a question and a little help needed also...So here goes:

I have been using NRGZ28's EnergyROM's for quite some time and have also modified the bottom Softkeybar and buttons to be for me good looking with gold on the edges, etc. Can't post them I don't think because NRGZ28 owns EnergyROM, and it happens t be the ROM that all of my crews in Special Forces use to communicate. Like he mentions it's just eye candy, but it's also White and I kind of guess it's a Win CE 6.5 issue and the white logo is located inthe Shell32.dll, which I don't hve the Software needed to pull the Dll and change it....

So I have a small area that is the left bottom button that you hit to get t your apps and folders... Now the problem is ,is that I ave all this cool buttone, etc and have a app launch left button with a White Win Logo on it.

I can't find where to change it with Photoshop CS5 looking at all the imported manila files and all png's period?

Does any one have any idea how to change that, I thought that the "Energy.RHODIUM.23150.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.05" would have at least made a cover png in the ROM or place a png of the Win ColoredLogo over the coordinates of the white win logo launce button left botton andbe cool?

So I thought I would ask here as I have tried to get in touch with NRGZ28 on his Twitter page with no response..

So there,.... I am a programmer but an F-22 pilot first in the military so I leave the programming to the pro's.. and we have a lot going on right now... Can anyone point the correct direction, I have seen cab's with softkeybars that cover the white logo with the real win colored logo.

If it's in the Cookie 1.8.5 cht files or the Manila files please gove me the manila name or the cht name?

If the spelling of anything is off, sorry can't install the spell checker here.

Thanks

F-22 huh? Damn, that's a sweet bird. I envoy you. I'd just about give my right arm to go up in one (or any fighter really).

Anyways, I'm not sure about the answer to your other question. But I doubt that it's Energy specific so you might try posting in one of the more general forums like Windows Mobile Development and Hacking. Your best best is probably try the themes and skinning forum. I can almost guarantee that someone there can give you the answer to your question.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Perhaps if you posted a screen shot, we could assist you better. NRG doesn't mind you modding or changing his ROMs. As long as you don't steal credit for them, he doesn't care what you do with them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Sounds like you're talking about the Start Button Image. Now for the "normal" 6.5.X Softkey Bar, there's a PNG. The image used depends on the theme (tsk) applied. You'll need to check the registry to find which image is being used. The Icon in Shellres.192.dll is only used in 6.5 when the start menu is on the topbar or if the .tsk is missing the link to the image in 6.5.X.

HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\BubbleTile\BubbleTileFlagIcon

HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\BubbleTile\BubbleTileFlagDisabledIcon

If you're using the CHT 2.o SoftKey Bar, the image is \windows\CHT_softkey_win.png.

Slight Change in Energy ROM Home Screen..

OK Here we go, guess I should have done this in the first place.......Making these Cell sections for the teams I work with for darkness usage gets kind of frustrating, but it helps a lot as in the resent past...!!!

The imake with the item Pointed, that I need to change not only in this Sense today screen but also the Sensity also latest versions.

Hope the image shows on the post if not just use the link.

I really appreciate th help as I do beleive as a Commander in the military that some of the teams are really going to be very busy on the other side of the globe very shortly...

The Sencity theme ROM is great with the Today Screen but the white SoftKeyBar Icon Images Iwould have to change and also all of the pages of setup areas like the ticks for settings, etc. So I am just going to and try to merge the Sencity Front Home Screen flat appointment, etc areas with this ROM for the time being...

Thank You for all the help and I also wanth to credit NRGZ298 for a great ROM, not too much but shur as H**l as much as we need..

Sincerely

Why not ask about it in the .sencity thread? In the screen shots of the theme in the sencity thread, it shows that bar to be working properly.

The problem he's having, is he likes the Sencity Theme, but not the white icons on the slider & settings page, etc. So, he's trying to make his own theme, but doesn't know what _manila files to edit. The attached in the above linked post has the 6 files that manila uses.

EDIT: My suggestion though is to Flash the normal Energy ROM without the theme applied. Than, download the Sencity Theme CAB. Dump the cab using WinCE CAB Manager & delete the icons, etc you don't like. Finally, remake the CAB with only the files left over to install over the normal Energy ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Oh, I thought he was trying to edit the Energy ROM that he was using. I was confused since the .sencity themed Energy ROM already has that cooked in. This makes more sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Yeah, from what I get, he's a commander of troops using the Energy ROM on their devices & trying to make it as dark as possible so when they use them at night, it won't give away their position like shining a flash light in the air.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm a squad leader, myself, but I make sure that everyone who is planning to bring a phone with them turns the brightness all the way down. I normally like to use GTX. Even in the pitch black night, on the lowest backlight level, you can't see the device at all as long as you aren't stupidly waving it over your head. lol (silly new privates...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Automan:
Son;

I hate to say this but GTX is good stuff, but at two miles I could see the glow with an M2..Even at the lowest level you have to realize that you may be on the move and if you are then " You're waving it around ". Be safe out there and never use white background on cell as it's called Phos. Glow...

Good to see ya here though, wondered when someone would show up....!! Some of my folks are monitoring this build I'm trying and I will tell you this much, it's way harder to see a letter thats a grey color than a dimmed white back...We tested it and it and for sure that at two to three miles we could see main components lighter better than small letters dim lite..Just makes Sense <- Well go figure?

Take Care!! Be safe...! I have been doing this since Vietnam....

Now guess who got Moussahwe or what ever his name was in Iraq? Iraq troops got there and the Marines got there and both said they didn't do it.

We were standing 100 yards from them in black and listning to what they said? He was overdosed with Morphine after telling what he needed to..

1 of Fifty gone of list...

Take care again and good to type at you....

I'm out and working on this again....

Thanks for what you do Squad Leader....!

We'll be seeing you....and pls don't use GTX in the field, I know cool and and dead isn't cool, it's cold!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You missed the point of my post. I use GTX normally. When I'm in the field, no matter what ROM I use, The backlight is always turned all the way down. This is nothing new for me. Dimming the backlight keeps the screen in the dark. Even if you're using a black or dark theme, if you're backlight is set to auto or a high setting, it's easy to pick out.

Before we go anywhere, one of the things on my checklist is to make sure that all cells have the sound off and backlights turned down. My main point was that the theme that you use makes less difference in terms of visibility at night than the backlight control does.

Waving your phone around like an idiot will get you seen no matter which ROM or theme you use. Anyway, concealing the device is what's most important. I prefer to rely on the glow-in-the-dark equipment for its low light output and ease of concealability.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Porkrinds:
This may or may not be the right forum for this. If not, ask a Mod to move it. I figured since the Dev forum is where most people come to get better performance out of their phone, I would post this here.

This article on lifehacker talks about several basic ways to get some extra juice out of your phone.... without being too complex to understand. NOTE: This is a generic article about older phones, not the Hero CDMA specifically, so YMMV.

For new people trying to squeeze the most out of their phones, the guide hints on a few things I can link to get you started.

These links all point to the xda forums right here. They are HTC Hero CDMA specific.

Rooting: HERE HERE HERE

Custom Kernel for HTC Hero CDMA: HERE

Cyanogen Mod Roms: HERE (Stable) & HERE (Should be Stable)

Pure Android Rom: HERE

Stock based Roms: HERE (Stock/Rooted) HERE (Stock/Optimized+Debloat/Rooted)

Video Guides

The bottom line, it comes down to trial and error to get your phone running silky smooth.

Happy discussion!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Are there any apps on the market to remove bloatware? I keep reading about one called root explorer, but its not showing on the market...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeFFeCTiVE:
Use Titanium Backup...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Sweet, didn't know I could do that with tb
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
+1 on using TB. It's just safer IMO.

Root Explorer works too (and I'm showing it in the market), but is dangerous if you're not sure what you're deleting. I think most bloatware is found in /system/app. Again, be cautious.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
how do I use titanium backup to do this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
Backup/Restore tab, then select what you want gone and click "Un-install!"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickh57:
If you have the Pro version of TB, you can also Freeze, disable an app (and make it invisible) without un-installing it. Then it can be unfrozen later if you find that you have a need for it afterall.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
well, i paid for the pro version, but it won't actually install from the market...and i can't get any support from their website. so i'm just out $6 on that one i guess, but i'll deff try that, thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
In case you didn't know...paying for the TB Pro Key in the market doesn't actually download and install the app - you still have to download the app itself (which is the one listed as free).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demize!:
Titanium pro let's you freeze and unfreeze if your not sure about system apps so it's good for noobs. Also the batch restore is worth the price alone.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
yeah diesel, i knew that... i paid for, tried to download, and install the Pro version, but it won't let me... the dev's webpage has this listed as one of the first problems under the troubleshooting page, but even after i did exactly what they said, it still doesn't work... and they don't have an email i can contact anyone. it sucks cuz i could really use the Pro version too!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FenderGuy:
a POS $500 paperweight that no matter what ROM you put on it Windows 6.5 will F up.

After many phone exchanges and owning Android and Windows phones, Windows 6.5 is the windows 95 OS of phones, period. The HD2 seems like a great phone, but that Windows 6.5 renders it useless.

The promising ROM of Core Droid on the HD2 can’t take away the lag, freezes and unresponsive that Windows 6.5 is. It’s just a POS OS for phones, have you tried Windows Mobile 7? So much smoother, if it wasn’t for this OS, I would completely hate windows mobile.

I had hopes for running Android on the HD2 and again the promising ROM of EVO Droid made it possible, but only for a couple of days. Running off the SD card is not ideal for heavy use and the way I use to my phones, I test them to the limits. I hate having to reboot the system, every time the phone lags. So for now, you may be able to run Android, but it has its limits.

So that leaves me with a paperweight. The fact that I have to take the battery out to reboot the damn phone was my last straw. My HD2 is smashed : ) and now I am going to go get a loaner phone and see what other phone is available for me. I hope to never own another POS phone like the HD2. I once said that with the DASH, fooled twice.

This is just my OP, and if you disagree, well that your OP also. I’ve had it with the HD2; it doesn’t live up to its “hype”
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
Ahhh... I can see your problem... You're an idiot. There's a little yellow button back there too that precludes battery removal. It's called a "reset button" in the trade... :rolleyes:

One can only assume that if you can't get something as simple as that right then all your other woes are of your own doing... I own an HD2 and manage a dozen of them - they all work very well with no complaints from my users.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acemonvw:
I don't believe this community should be in the habit of mocking its members. FenderGuy was merely stating his opinion, albeit, in a Q&A forum, but none-the-less, the response wasn't appropriate. I too own an HD2 and find myself sympathizing with FenderGuy.

When I had the 2.10.531.1 Stock T-mobile rom, it took about 10 - 15 seconds for for the music tab to load my music. There were a thousand 'fixes' and none of them worked. I finally had to get a different program, disappointed in HTC. The music tab wasn't the only problem. My phone would reboot randomly. I have tried custom roms, but I don't recall that they improved my WM 6.5 experience (no offense to anyone making the roms, I likely did not put in enough effort to make them work for me better).

The newer 3.14.531.1 T-mobile rom is 'better.' The music tab works fine, but I've obtained new problems. The weather never updates in 'my location' (I know there are threads on this topic). Also, my phone reboot when I plug it into a computer via USB. Every time, without fail, the phone reboots when I plug it in. And I have no resolution to this (if anyone has any idea... please let me know, I cannot for the life of me find any forum threads on this).

I like android roms, but they still seem less responsive than the native WM 6.5 and the camcorder still doesn't work (but, I truly appreciate everyone's work on making android on the HD2 possible).

Last, though this should've been my first point. I too find that I have to reboot my phone often. I have a case on my phone, which I have to dismantle, then remove the case of the battery cover, and then pull out the battery. This is an annoyance. If anyone suggests that it is easier to press that little yellow button than to pull out the battery, you must either have your tools always accessible, or you have managed to create and attach a bionic finger that has a release mechanism with a 1/8th inch-pointed tool hidden inside that can actually fit and press the button, because my fingers cannot press that button without these tools.

Actually, even if you did have a tool handy... It's way easier to just remove the damn battery.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
Ahhh. I can see your problem.... :p

Seriously... Lose the stock ROMs...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Hmm, I think I know where you went wrong......

by smashing the phone instead of taking the time to sort out the problem......

+1 :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acemonvw:
Lol, yeah... I know I know...

Perhaps when I have more time, I will try the custom roms again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FenderGuy:
The peanut gallery has spoken :)

Let’s see the reset button can be either yellow or red right, and you have to actually get a pin or something to poke it to reset, so taking the battery out is just another way to reset the phone when the reset doesn’t work, after all the HD2 is perfect ? :rolleyes:

I could care less if you manage your clients phones and I doubt they are so perfect as you claim, like I said it's my op the HD2 is a POS

I use to work for T-mobile and guess what the #1 phones that has complaints was always the Windows Mobile phones, even now when I went back to get a loaner the HD2 is still the #1 issue phone with customers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
I see your problem... Windows Mobile is a tad too complicated for most T-Mobile users... Go and get an iPhone, it's for people who can't or don't want to think for themselves...

I've managed Palms, iPhones, Androids, Windows Mobile and Blackrubbish... Windows is, by far, the most reliable, configurable and sensible business solution. But I'm just the "peanut gallery"... You carry on in your little utopia... :p

Get lose of the STOCK ROM'S like

say's

And if u are installing new rom's read the installation guides first!! there are 10+ guides at your disposal

Now the chance of a problem is decreased with -99% believe me:D

If u getting android... read the installation guides first!!

How strange or stupid that ppl keep saying that Android builds are unreliable, with constant freezes and such...... I have NO problems running 5 different builds for days with no issues and no restarts... I do restart the phone once in a while but only to switch to different builds....See that's the beauty of this phone we can switch to many different roms, both Windows and Android. And to break a phone bc it froze shows being very immature. Instead should've found a reliable Rom there's Lots of them here. It never seizes to amaze me the ignorance of some people .......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derek0228:
My honest opinion

When i first got my hd2, i was super excited with it. I thought it was the best phone ever. I'd already worked with WM so i knew something about it. The HD2 was great, but after few days i was bored of it. I found nothing to do with WM, as there are almost no GOOD apps for it. Then, i came to XDA, and read about flashing custom roms. I was afraid of bricking my phone, but i flashed a custom rom anyways. After that, I flashed like 5+ custom roms on my HD2, and I looked at it and said: Now this is more like it. But i was missing something. WM, custom or stock rom, has almost no GOOD apps. So, i decided to try android on my HD2. I've used more than 10 android builds on my HD2, just for fun. After putting android on my Leo, i can honestly say I think it's the best, most versatile phone EVER. I currently use WM, Android and Ubuntu on my HD2. It's so much fun. Why would i want a phone that has everything there, when i can have my HD2, and get excited when a new custom rom is made, or a new Android build comes out for it. My Leo is more than my phone, it's my hobby.

i am about to try another rom, so which back up method will restore the most info

looking at apps/ accounts/ contacts/ games saves etc etc

i have titainuim back up also have clockwork or is there a better back up method that will make my phone like it is now but on a new rom(where i will most likley have to do data/cache wipes before i install it)

thanks for any help
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
short answer, no. The problem is if you restore the system settings and the framework is significantly changed you will end up with multiple Force closes, titanium backup will allow you to restore your apps with data but avoid restoring system data if possible (it is possible to create a flashable zip of titanium to flash from recovery so it's installed when you boot your new ROM) also ADW can save your desktop configuration and restore it and I use SMS backup/restore to restore my SMS's, your contacts etc should be catered for by google which will also try and restore some other settings and your apps.

BTW: Do a NANDROID backup before installing your new ROM, this is a snapshot of your system state which can be used to restore it to it's current state should the new ROM not be to your taste
[Desire HD General] panyan:
with a new rom, i suggest just installing everything afresh so there are no compaibility problems. I imagine with titanium backup you could restore savegames :)
[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
whats nandroid?

so when people are flashing a rom every other day they are having to reinstall everything???
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
this is what i want to do too. Install all apps from the market fresh, but use titanium to restore any data associated with the apps.

However im not sure which setting to use in titanium. When i click batch, there's 100 options. If i choose "Backup all system data", will this restore only the data like gamesaves etc?
