This Might Interest People - Especially ThingOnASpring!

This Might Interest People - Especially MY Dear Friend ThingOnASpring!​
I have been testing master Lt.Cmdr.Ivan latest ROM v3 for a long time, which is evident from my signature. The ROM is very stable!
When master ThingOnASpring came out with his latest ROM, I thought to give it a try. Especially, the ROM had build in HTC Home today plugin.
I found this ROM of master ThingOnASpring to be very unstable with lots of crashes and freeze ups. The freeze ups were like in olden days and when someone called, the Universal hanged up.
So, I went back to master Lt.Cmdr.Ivan ROM again. Since I like HTC Home today plugin, the first thing I did, was to install this plugin.
Guess What?
The ROM was not stable anymore!
It had lots of crashes and freeze ups. The freeze ups were like in olden days and when someone called, the Universal hanged up.
So, I did a hard reset and didn't install the HTC Home today plugin, the ROM is now working flawlessly and stable just like before!
Go figure!
KOR!

Thx,
Good to know, I'll cook the ROM without the HTC Home , which anyway I wanted to swap by rltoday!
Cheers

Depends which one you use, I suppose...
Ever since the homeplug came out I've been using it and I had some problems with the early versions. However I kept this version which seems to be stable it doesn't freeze the phone and works very well. The only problem I've found with it is that if you set the phone to vibrate using the homeplug it sometimes loses your default ringtone...
So give it a try and see what you think. You might need to have a look at Maimach's fix for the homeplug but as always once you do this it might affect the stability.

Dear wtpelzer,
Thanks a lot. Will surely give it a try. I did try master Maimach's fix for the HTC Home plugin.
I have already downloaded your plugin!
I see you are still using master N. N. Coung's ROM, like me. It is one of the greatest ROM!
Thanks again,
KOR!

Search for "HTC Home VGA - 6 Tabs !NEW!" on the first page of this thread. Thanks teixeirabmb, for letting us know about it. I'm running it on my Exec. Fonts look a little bit small, but still readable. Hope it helps...

is anyone having crashing with incoming calls with the htc home plugin??? i have installed a number of versions but cannot seem to get any to work without crashing my uni when someone calls me!!

in my case, universal freezing upon receiving calls happens whatever HTC Home Today plugin version is installed.
i haven't found a solution yet other than uninstalling the HTC Home, but you can try a temporary solution: remove the SD card from the slot & i can now receive calls without freezing.
can anybody having the same freezing problem confirm this?

confirmed!!

Well, as I posted yesterday, I'm running the HTC Home Today plugin posted by teixierabmb (links provided there) on my Exec, flashed with Ivan's v3.9 ROM. I keep my 8GB SDHC card inserted all the time, and I simply don't experience any freezes with incoming calls at all.
Cheers!

As far as I know, Jason's latest ROM had problems to properly handle SDHC cards. So, the SD drivers might really be vilains there...

hi drsqueggy,
do you mean confirmed that removing SD Card temporarily solved freezing problem?
i'm trying to figure out if its a registry hack related to SD (i.e. PIE cache to SD), the SD type & speed (tried MMC but freezes too), or what?
by the way my uni is a vodafone V1640.

I've tried the 2 SD drivers that come with the latest nncuong's rom, but the phone still froze intermitterntly on incoming calls (and keeps vibrating).
I won't uninstall htc home, coz i'm going to miss it.
Rant follows, please read it and check if you share my views about the question: -----------------
I'm beginning to think the Universal is flawed inside in its hardware, and nothing can be done for it.
With the universal, we have a slower WM6 than the competition, and a load of bugs that are still there from the veyr beginning. My Uni already froze a lot of times without reason, for example when I closed TCPMP, or when I opened the control panel. It seems like old bugs sometimes resuscitate from the grave
I miss the ability of other phones (and other PDA's too) to wake up and starrt to ring INSTANTLY when a call comes in, and not after 2 or 3 seconds.
And also that pause when you answer a call, where the other end doesn't hear you but you can hear him, is very bugging.
Let's face it: the Uni is not well engineered, either, as there are some components in the system that act like bottlenecks. Sure, SKTools benchmark give the Uni its say, but the truth is not that. Try installing a CAB file on the Uni and the same cab file on an HTC Touch. Guess what, the touch does it in 1/4 the time of the Uni. And guess what, the Touch's processor is the old ****ty omap 850 (a seriously-underpowered 200 mhz processor!). How could this be possible???
But the worst part of the history, is that every rom released only adds its bugs to the pile. I think they (the cookers) should unite and make some serious information-sharing, trouble-shooting and rom-releasing work together.
Heck, admit it, every now & there a rom comes out that use a "new extraordinary revolutionary mega-fast driver", only to discover, days later, that this driver is only mega-unstable and that it had already been tried months before.
I didn't have all those problems with my old Tornado's WM6 hack... they (the cookers) released a WM6 rom, and it worked flawlessy at first chance, way better than the original WM5.

Hello everyone, It is time for me to finally make a contribution to this forum.
This is my first rom, and I have been working on it for way too many hours making sure that everything I use works. However I don't use everything and just haven't had time to make sure.
This is where I hope you will point out my mistakes so that I can fix them.
Notes:
CE OS shows 318 build because I used that nb0 (I couldn't find a bigger one)
Memory at startup is about 27-29mb free (with voice command enabled by default)
Also the storage memory, I synced my contacts and took some screenshots (informative ones) which is why it shows that number. You should get about 45mb before you sync 198contacts/caller id pictures, and not to mention about a dozen .bmp screenshots
The screenshots are edited obviously, to fit all of the icons

reserved for updates
By the way, I'm thinking of adding fring and replace the explorer with the one duty made.
What I will not add for sure because it can run standalone off of a card is :
TaskManager2.9; PocketXpdf; Google Maps 2 (they actually update); TCPMP; ClearTemp;Backup SMS.

reserved as well just in case (for fixes and files)

Will try it out, Thanks for your work.

Thanks S.V.I.
Downloading now, will flash later today and post accordingly
Have a good one

Nice Job, The only bug so far is that it took 6 soft resets to get it to recognize the Data AT&T Network.
1)Hangs a bit when adding an appointment, Newer Build does not happen

So at this time 29 people downloaded. I hope to get more feedback but I don't expect it from anyone until about 24hours with this rom.
Pumpiron579: could it have been a bad flash? or perhaps a corrupted archive?
I don't have that issue at all I set up network wizard, let it reset and it works immediately. strange that you had to reset so much. I hope that everything works now?
Thanx for downloading and trying

I don't know why that happened. That was a first for me. See if anybody else has that specific problem. If not, it was just something with my flash ?? Everything works great know. Been using it for 5 hours.

I needed three soft resets to get the phone to start up, froze on splash screen - after three resets, its all good........
Will update this post as soon as I use it a bit more

So far, so good - battery is at 100% fully charged, will use for a bit and update some more.
I did not hard reset after flash, so that may have been my issue.
Nice rom so far - will continue to update

3 soft resets? strange. I will upload a different upgrade utility. se if that is solved. Mine does not do that. I did a hard reset after flashing without my sd card.
It may just be that the thing may have become corrupted when uploading/downloading/compressing. I will compress it less next time.
Working on fixes for things that I have experienced. will probably upload again tomorrow late night. I really need more feedback other than that issue.
How is the battery? Is the pBar working for you? camera, mms, Live office? everything good?

I Have the xip from 209, I just used the nb0 from a different one because it is bigger. is it really important that the numbers match??
Also, for those who have the issue of having to reset 3 times (2 people complained) I am posting another link in the 1st post.

congratulations on your rom I have seen grinminded has helped you out in your rom...
definitely this is a very good rom
happy flashing brothers...

yes, Grinminded guided me in a couple of areas.
I plan to get rid of live and replace it with fring (all in one instant messenger with skype capabilities) I have used it before and have to say that it works, but has a flaw: while a message is coming through, it freezes, so you can't type anymore. the result may be a garbled instant message if you are not carefull. You guys think it is a good idea or not?
also, i need to get rid of menu animation in the registry to make it work a little bit faster (you can fix that in the reg your self for now, before I upload. sorry for the wait.)
I'm also about to add some battery fixes so you may have to wait for that as well.
I have to catch up with a lot of work at the moment. if you have suggestions, please post them. I will work on it as soon as I can.
happy flashing

Hey SVI,
I've read a number of your posts in a few threads and must say I'm really looking forward to trying this. I think our ROM flavors are very similar. I've DLed your ROM, but haven't had a chance to install it yet, since I'm on the road right now. As far as replacing Live w/ Fring, I'm kind of the mindset that Live tends to be a little more 'universal' right now and working pretty flawlessly. Fring can always be added by cab. Just my 2 cents. Thanks very much for all your hard work.

I would keep live messenger. 2 reasons I love this rom, 1) messenger, 2) M$ VC. when a rom does not have them cooked in, it takes up a lot of room installing them into the main memory. I use my messenger a lot.

I was working on this rom last night and decided to try out the "Live" and beat the $#!* out of it. The oem package that I have, is not very rock solid. I took the package out, and the performance improved. It runs in the background weather you like it or not. A far as messenger is concerned, I'm not sure yet. MS is letting people download Live Mobile in standard and pro. maybe they have updated and fixed some issues. I have also been working on the graphics for this monster (it's big) so not everything is black and white; originally I turned everything Grey to save space. I added some Reg tweaks having to deal with caches. the result is loss of ram (about 2mb). Will keep you posted, and probably update another version tomorrow.

My Fuze arrives in 2 days! What to do in the meantime?

So my new Fuze will get here Wednesday, and I'm trying to figure out the best sequence of activities so I can hit the ground running once I got it. Any suggestions?
P.S. My last phone was a Blue Angel, which I flashed and upgraded until eventually the radio stopepd working... and I lost the phone

You can start catching up on the ROM/radio threads so you can be familar with the device and its functions etc.. maybe look at screen protectors/cases for your fuze..

Ill tell you right now...
F*** the default ROM, dont even bother.
Once you get your phone flash HardSPL to it.
Make sure you found a ROM you think will be good, I suggest a 6.5 ROM you make, or any of At0mAng's ROMs, they are amazing.
Then make sure all the apps you want on your phone are ready to be installed.
FULLY CHARGE YOUR BATTERY. I cannot stress that enough.
Get a radio to flash to your phone.

LoL
Scratch ur hair lol

Well if you're intent on keeping it then I'd definitely get a nice case for it...I'm actually looking at a few right now The stock ROM isn't really bad with calls/call quality or anything else.
The only real problem I have with the stock ROM/Radio is that it is TERRIBLE with GPS. From a cold start you can expect about a 10 minute lock time with speed/position lag once you do get a lock and begin using it. So do some research on a radio that would best suite this...if its even that important to you..it is to me
I've read good and bad things about various radios, some say a particular one works for them, others say that it doesn't. I guess you'll have to flash and see..man that sounds dirty doesn't it... lol

Fap fap fap.
Heres a quick list of what (for me) you will need.
-New ROM At0mAngs stuff is good, Elite RC3 also, ROMeOS aswell.
-New Radio Try 1.12.25.19 or 1.08.25.20M1 You dont need the rilphone.dll but i figured it wouldnt hurt.
-hTorch by DeepThought (Light application, Brilliant.)
-PIMBackup Contacts BackUp Software.
-Advanced Config, Registry Tweaker as well as some other useful things
-Diamond Tweak, same as above but more related to Diamond/Raphael
-Nitrgoen 0.3.2, Music Player, Easy to use and nice on the eye.
I basically learned the ins and outs of my Raphael from www.blownfuze.org (if prompted for username/pass both are 'xda') d0ugie is a saint for doing all this so give him due credit.

surf for porn....
tvos

ditto what was said before.
i have the leaked att test rom upgrade and it works great for me. think about some skins, i'm trying out mobilematt's fuzeberry right now, or take a look at spb mobile shell 3.0. Gorgeous software, only it lagged my physical keyboard on the fuze (as did a program called battery meter - displays ur battery at the top of the screen - be sure not to install this). what else?
hmm i have finger menu installed, finger keyboard v2.1, cleanRAM, gAlarm, pocket Uno, skyfire mobile browser, opera mini, iris browser, spb tv, total commander, touch in call screen tweak or whatever it's called. hopefully you'll find a good set of apps

Looks Great
I'll give it a spin later. I just have issues with getting arcsoft to run for my MMS for some reason when tmobiles settings arent already in have set it up so many times in the past have it memorized but it seems to mainly be an issue on the 6.5.1 builds maybe its just an issue stemming from there

yeah, i always have problems with arcsoft, thats why I dont include it in my roms... if you want I can recook one with arcsoft installed and see if it helps your situation
Ugh, also forgot to add in facebook, I use facebook ALOT but idk about you guys

That would be great. like i said though might just be the newer windows build been noticing alot of builds where the MMS isn't working . consistant bug in windows itself i wonder?

Nice job! i would go through your sys and delete the MSalarm shortcuts. Its the most pointless start menu item. (Since it looks like you un checked it in the kitchen)

yea i did uncheck it, i never really noticed the icon stayed in the start menu

I used to have that issue with every rom I used as well. My t-mo wing is unlocked and i'm on att now. What I had to do is install a cab for the connection settings(cing_connnection_settings.cab), another one for the mms settings (cing_mms_settings.cab), and install and run the htc network wizard. The network wizard that's built into some roms don't work for some reason... anywho common sense would say that the cabs would take care of it but the network wizard i guess handles things that the cabs don't. Either way I run those items, let the network wizard do a soft reset and everything's cool.
Now I am aware thats for at&t it would be safe to assume there's cabs like that for t-mo.
Hope this helps and quells that issue.
So by the providence of god I managed to flash this rom via sd. I first installed Arcsoft MMS, soft reset. Then install the cabs for the connection and mms, then install the HTC connnection thingie. Then run the wizard for my carrier, and do a soft reset when it asks and I'm good. Managed to confirm this by mms'ing myself.

It's part of the initflashfiles.dat
I updated the initflashfiles.dat so it now has that icons among other things that match 6.5.1.

okay ivan, thanks for the heads up!

Ill give that a try . First order of business see if i can locate T-Mo cabs.

woot found those and the cabs for cooks as well

Well have to call no joy. Love the rom btw , just no luck on MMS added it and the tmo cabs , even tried manual set up of arcsoft no luck on mms for tmo open to ideas if anyone has any.

Hey my Wing is on at&t too, is there any way you could post the cing_connnection_settings.cab and cing_mms_settings.cab? I have alot of issues too going from ROM to ROM, that's why I don't flash as much as I want to, because it's such a pain in the ass to get the data/mms working.

My sd card isn't fast enough.. Isn't there a ruu version..?

bugs found
Thing has an issue when I soft reset... keeps rebooting after showing the orange windoze logo. Only way to get the madness to stop is to go into boot loader and eject my memory card and cross my fingers after I hit the reset button. This is with pretty much any 6.5.1 ROM I've came across.
Either than that, it's not that good on multi tasking, normally I run TCPMP and txt my buddies. With this rom in particular, when i get into a message and start typing, TCPMP or media player quits. Complains that there's not enough memory for the operation.
That's all i've been able to find so far, can't wait to see the newer builds get rid of these small issues.

Gonna try this baby tonite..

Awesome
the ROM is AWESOME !! great job man.. quick and responsive no issues at all. call quality also seems to be fine. the only issue i have come across is the dial pad.. the window displaying names disappears and the text scheme is white text on a white background.
hunting for a dialer as i dont have the heart to switch to another rom just now.
if someone can point me how to change the scheme / a good dialer i would be very greatful.
Update:
Observed today is the issue with the key mapping. i was wondering why i cud not setup my yahoo mail lol.. eg: the @ symbol is not mapped to Shift+2 instead it gives )
I have installed fingerkeyboard 2.1 from gianni (qvga) and it is working fine with no issues as of now.

Need someone to recommend me a ROM

I have been searching for recommendations on custom roms and since I am new I do not know if they are up to date.
I have heard of manial 2.5 and 2.1; but do not know what they are.
Also I heard there are custom roms of 6.1 and 6.5 but what is the difference?
To install a 6.5 rom do you need the 6.5 stock rom or can you do it from 6.1 stock rom?
I want performance, stability, speed, web browsing, and landscape slide out usable along with so it will work if I turn the phone and all sensors usable.
I am wishing to getting a head start since I am getting my Sprint CDMA TP2 in a few days. Any TP2 users here that think this phone is good and had it for a while?

NRG (aka EnergyRom) is probably the most popular ROM, i've been using it in various iterations since 12/09. It works well though Sprint picture mail can be problematic at times and I've been unable to disable HTC's texting/sms app (It can be ridiculously slow when you have a long conversation). 6.5 is a little more touch friendly than 6.1 but it's not a huge change. I use NRG's rom with sensity and CHT v2.0(cookie home tab which increases home screen flexibility). XDAndroid is also very nice (I'll switch permanently once they get the headphones working)

I have used nrg rom and have currently been using the superrom.
It's bare-bones and very fast. I had to add some of the .cab's that
i wanted but they are really easy to find. Phone has only frozen
on me like once and i have a large amount of text messages stored
on the phone.

I have been searching for recommendations on custom roms and since I am new I do not know if they are up to date.
I have heard of manial 2.5 and 2.1; but do not know what they are.
Also I heard there are custom roms of 6.1 and 6.5 but what is the difference?
To install a 6.5 rom do you need the 6.5 stock rom or can you do it from 6.1 stock rom?
I want performance, stability, speed, web browsing, and landscape slide out usable along with so it will work if I turn the phone and all sensors usable.
I am wishing to getting a head start since I am getting my Sprint CDMA TP2 in a few days. Any TP2 users here that think this phone is good and had it for a while?

I have tried about 15 already and have just decided 'Mighty Rom' will be sticking around. Very fast and stable it seems.

I hope it doesn't have the same flaws as energy rom. I think I will stick with the stock Rom first. Can you list me any internet, text, calling, landscape mode, sensors, physical keyboard etc. any other possible flaws it may have? Is it wm 6.1 or 6.5 layout?
Can you link me to the most up to date mighty rom thread and original maker?

The HTC messaging problem and sprint picture mail problems aren't ROM specific. HTC messaging can take 20+ seconds to load when you've got a ton of messages(it doesn't affect the web browser or email), you can bypass this by clicking all messages before replying to a new text (this opens the default text client rather than the HTC one). There are fixes that are supposed to bypass HTC messaging entirely but they don't seem to work.
The sprint picture mail problem is due to sprint picture mail not really sending pictures but instead links to pictures (you have to install arcsoft messaging and some other files to make it work). Sharky's rom may not have this problem (since it was developed specifically for sprint) but pretty much any other custom rom will.

Sounds like you already got your answer! Try my ROM Check my sig. for my PPC Geeks thread. Seeing as how that site is more geared to CDMA, that's where all my ROM action is.

Are there any other roms that are made for Sprint winmo 6.5?
How much memory RAM does your rom have on boot up sharky?
I just today noticed on stock I am unable to send/ receive text messages but can call and browse the internet. Problem happened after a few installs like flash lite, nfs shift, resco explorer, and maybe sktools cleanup has ran and broke it. So I plan on moving on to a custom rom.
Do any custom roms change radio? Because I HOPE NOT. I don't want an SAR change lol. SAR level change will be bad.

in refferance to sktools clean up.......you have to be carefull what you delete esspecially in the invalid registory entries and values mode......i usualy leave that alone unless i no for sure what i am deleting wont affect the phone.....and also just go to your file explorer/mydocuments/regsrybkp and restore what was deleted....

I couldn't find registry backup anywhere.

got your reply my friend..get back to you in a few hours...

ok...i am no expert...ther are a lot of smart guys in this forum when it comes to ppc's...thumbs up to them...what i no about this is experience because i have deleted 100 things before i learned...i no that if you use the registry cleaner in sktools it will tell you that things are invalid and so on....when they are actually valid....why, i dont no...but first check to see if back up deleted entries is selected to yes.....in your sktools program under tools menu go to settings...then scroll to invalid registry entries and at the bottom of that list you will find that option...the same for invalid registry values...if they both are yes then everything you deleted should be in your files program under 'registrybkp'....mine is under 'mydocuments'/'registrybkp'.....and if the deleted entries are there just tap on each one and they should automatically restore...and last, if for some reason you dont have any backups then a hard reset would be my advice to you.....i hope that helped .....good luck and just keep going by trial and error!

MR.X ROM! is super fast but you cant send picture mails

I'm not allowed yet to post outside links, so you'll have to search Howard forums for this:
Touch-Pro2-Tips-Tricks-amp-Registery-Modifications

I have maybe a dumb question. What does a cooked ROM give me, more functionality and features or just cosmetic modifications?
Thanks

All of the above. More stability as well. Phone rarely freezes to the point where it needs a hard reset and also no screen of deaths.

Is there any way I could get manual or at least a list of features for each ROM?

It's either on the rom forum page or you check the rom out yourself. Usually the original poster in the first post will list a list of features and give pictures for their rom. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and don't forget to thank me if I helped.
