Themes I added was Areo, besides the default all other themes are gone..
I made the choice to have ONE version besides one or more, just I found a cool medium between vanilla and limited 3rd party apps. I left out apps like the audio manger to save space, theres WMP why have ANOTHER music player?
different layout? get a skin
I'm pretty happy with this rom, NO Xing out issues and a decent program free memory

if the response to this rom is good. ill make a even more clean rom for you.

Sounds great.
The ROM looks very good but i experienced, the "OK"-Button sometimes seems not to work (using the stylus). Can anyone confirm this issue?
Happens to me f.e. after aligning the screen and installing programs

Double tapping does not always seem to work either. It seems the only sure-fire way to navigate is to tap start menu, and then go into today screen or programs or settings. Task Manager has so far been the only way I have been able to close items.
Barring that...I am loving how bare this rom is! With it connected to pc, active sync running...Storage= 47.46MB, in use 2.78, Free 44.69...Program= 51.96MB, In use 27.39, Free 24.57
Initial loading time seems a bit slow, but otherwise going from program to program is a breeze.
So how can this "OK" button issue be fixed, as it seems to be the only real setback to this.

nice clean ROM...wonder how much mem left after this installed...gotta try this.....get back soom...thanks alot....like the clean rom

maybe one of the senior members can help me out removing all the Touch Dllls in my kitchen, i used the one from double_004 cause i got TOO many errors on loons kitchen not sure why if its based off mattkr's kitchen since his was the first kitchen I used ever..

finally a vanilla rom! most of these roms are nice and stable but since i own a license to resco explorer i don't total commander and many of the other freeware apps. IMO resco is MUCH better than TC. i love google and WLS (rant) but i'm pissed @ ms right now for not adding my workplace to their db. i work for a new cvs/pharmacy store and we opened up back in february and a few months later a walgreens opened about 3 miles off from us and they are added and we aren't in yet. /rant

hi
Is it same version 5.2.1908 Build 18508.0.7.0, ported by Double_ofour mentioned in his post ?

Whats the base rom of this? There are many different base rom version numbers, and even different ports of the same version number. Would be helpful to know what this was built off of as some of them have various issues.

Another way is using the SIP's "OK"-Button.
Well I tested the whole weekend and I love it.
Unfortunately there's no touchflo integrated. (I love that cube) but i think, I can add it somehow. Have to search for it.

I hate Touch Flo lol
Version is CE OS 5.2.1437

Just have to say that this is an excellent ROM and the one I've been looking for, the only program that I don't need it's Tetris (btw it's not a good port), installed yesterday and works excellent (for me) after a few tweaks. I noticed that after speeding up the processor, the touch "X" problem dissapear.
It will get ran out of memory if you open a lot of programs (WM6 stuff) I just fixed removing reg entry for Windows Live.
Excelent work!!
Keep working, be happy!!!

UC& non compatible applications

Did your sdconfig failed cause install-troubly applications? Yeah, i know, its frustrating.
More about great feature UC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337 by Sleuth255
Here is a list of programs which doesnt work with UC auto installation. Please add some more, for which you know that dont work.
-gps today
-vtap
-dinarsoft memmaid
-satCE
-spb insight, pocket plus and maybe weather

IIRC PocketPlus worked fine for me. Although it has been a while.

i dont use any of those apps, so i cant tell, but did you try using the "hide" command instead of the lock command for those cabs?

No,i didnt. Dont know how to do that.
Problem with those applications is, that after install they pop up a settings window, not ordinary OK button in right top corner of screen. And that stops the auto install.

Mods, can this thread be merged with this one?

Touch Pro - Replacing ROM Opera

I just got a Verizon Touch Pro and I'm trying replace my ROM Opera Mobile (9.5b2392) with the newest Opera Mobile from their website (9.51b2723).
I installed the new version on to the device memory.
It looks a lot nicer and seems faster.
I have the new version set to default (the old version doesn't have that option).
When I use a program that has links and opens the system default browser when clicked, upon initially opening a program (say profimail, but it's not only with that program), it opens up the old opera when I click a link. If I close the old opera, click the link again, it opens up the new opera. If I close the program, go back in and click a link, I get the old opera again.
Any ideas? I hoping there's someway to just totally disable the ROM Opera Mobile.
The ROM Opera is also in programs too, not sure if there's a way to remove it from there, but I guess I could live with that.

Delete new Opera.
Get new Opera's cab.
Install new Opera.
It should replace old Opera.

You need to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643

That's what I did.
I just uninstalled new opera from the device, then reinstalled onto the storage card and now it appears to be working as intended.
Should it have worked installed to the device? Looks like it was conflicting that way somehow.
Only problems left are that I can't get rid of the old icon in programs....and that it doesn't go landscape when I rotate the device, only when the keyboard is open. The old Opera did rotate along with the device.
Was the ROM Opera some special build from Verizon that used the accelerometer?
Also, the browser link in TouchFlo3D still opens the old Opera. Any way to change that?

Any ideas on how to get the new Opera to use the accelerometer? Is that possible?

I replied to your howardforums thread. I got it to work.
Basically you need to install two programs, they are listed here
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=11993391#post11993391
The Gyrator 2 to use the accelerometer
and

to replace the TF3D operal.exe with the new one.

After some work, I got both working.
That's great. Thanks!

Opera beta2 on Topaz

Hey,
Did anyone here succeed to install and run the new Opera Mobile beta? I installed the beta, but can't run the program - nothing happens. I just click on the program and nothing opens, however the originally supplied Opera works just fine.

No... I couldn't get it on either. Whilst I appreciate that Opera opens so quickly, it sucks that they've integrated it into TF3D and haven't thought about upgrades...

well i did install it but i`m not 100% if it works,
I`ll tell you what happens:
after install i go into Start and press ADD program - u must scroll down a little and at the end (under the default simple Opera, there it is "Opera 9.5"
the browser opens just fine but to be honest i c no major diffrence (Java does not work either) so i`m thinking it is not rly the 9.5 beta2 that is working - maybe i`m still running the integrated 1

Open the main menu of the browser, and go to Help. Scroll down a bit, you should see the version there.

The default (built-in) browser is 9.5?

Yeah, version 9.5, build 16277.

Anyone wanna dig through registry and se? I guess the "browser" button points to a specific program directory..
Perhaps try and replace the opera 9.5 files with the beta2 one? I might when i get home.

[Q] Unlock for the Mango Beta Emulator?

Now the Mango Windows Phone Dev Tools beta is out, can we get an unlocked emulator image soon...

I've been playing around with the Mango Beta and stopped by XDA to see if an unlocked version is out as well.
I tried out the Bing Audio (Shazam type thingy) and it worked in the Emulator and picked up the song that was playing.
Bing Vision opened but was blank obviously. Not much more to see until we get an unlocked image.

Does IE9 display the web pages in the emulator?

IE9 in Emulator
Yes the emulator displays webpages in the Mango emulator.

Hey. To answer your question, I've tried to get it unlocked, but Microsoft has added some sort of weird security mechanism to the device-any recompiled image causes it to lock us out of the homescreen. Not sure what to think of it, but I'm sure we'll figure it out sooner or later.
(For reference, I was the one who unlocked the NoDo emulator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942656)

Thanks for your efforts Jaxbot, I can't wait for an unlocked emulator to see what else Mango may bring to the table!

From the previous leaks, we already know that there are a lot more features hiding in Mango that Microsoft has yet to announce. It comes to no suprise that Microsoft has implanted additional security to keep those features under wrap.

Hope we can get this unlocked soon. Would love to be able to check this emulator out in full

yeaah unlocked version would be really great =) But Version for HTC 7 Trophy would be much greater

I really don't get why they restrict it so much. It makes it impossible to test all those integration features etc...
But what sucks the most IMO is that you can't switch on "airplane mode". That way I always have to test this on the device, without the debugger

The emulator itself has a security mechanism, or are there internal integrity checks baked inside the ROM?

I really don't know... but from what I can tell, the emulator loads the ROM just fine, but the Compositor screen doesn't want to load.

What tools did you use in the NoDo ROM to unlock it? I suppose these tools are from WinMo 6.5?
It'll be interesting seeing Mango as is develops; like Windows 8.

Any Progress?

Partial Unlock... sort of
I managed to get access to a small set of features of the emulator with no hacking whatsoever.
I visited youtube.com from IE and tried to watch a video. It redirected me to the Youtube app in the marketplace. Naturally, I couldn't install it but I clicked on the Share button (I found later that you can also do this by sharing a page in IE9). The only option available was Messaging and so I enterd the Messaging App[/U]. I clicked the attach button and I entered Camera Roll, from which I could enter the Camera (and I saw that button that is supposedly used to choose the front/rear facing camera ). From the message app I pressed the + to add recipients and I got a list of the people in the phone's memory. I added the first person and pressed it in the recipients list and I chose open. I clicked on his address and entered the full Bing app and Local Scout. I called the person and chose to add another call and managed to acces the People Hub. In the people hub I was asked if I wanted to import contacts and was able to sign in with my email account and got access to the Email Hub. (Oddly Yahoo! appears only if added from the email hub and not from people hub). You can also access various settings for the apps.
I believe that by cleverly tapping on the UI it may be possible to enter other apps/hubs too.
WARNING: I got some weird behavior in Internet Explorer (see screenshot). It appears that after all these steps the opened and saved tab in IE gets bugged (happened 2 times). After exiting the emulator, I could't open it anymore using Tom's XAP installer , see attached error screenshot. I guess that somehow by entering the email accout, the emulator altered the save state (which could be quite interesting). I opened the emulator from Visual Studio and it got back to normal.

Any updates on whether an unlock is possible now that the SDK is final?
I'm actually trying to figure out if WP is the right upgrade after using webOS for years, so being able to use a Mango emulator fully for a few days would be pretty helpful...
