This is my first post, so please be gentle.
I only recently got my Kaiser (two weeks), and I've been toying with different ROMs. I tried QMobile 1.2, and it seemed alright, but I keep seeing Youtube videos about the "Cube", and it looks like it'd be really handy to have since I don't like pulling out my stylus. It seemed like QMobile 1.2 had "TouchFlo", but I can't seem to find the same "cube" navigation demonstrated in the videos.
I've spent 3-4 days doing nothing but reading the Wiki and forums, as I didn't want to make another duplication of a question asked dozens of times. I've got a notebook with 5 pages of acronyms and numbers, already
So - from what I can gather, Dutty's ROMs seem to be the best I can find that have this Cube thing, as well as what seems to be extensive customization.
My Kaiser is HardSPL'd and I've downloaded and installed QMobile 1.2, so I'm relatively familiar with the process.
This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361544) thread seems to be about the "Duttys DualTouch v4 RTM Release", which appears to be WM6.0 and what I want. After 30 searches across the Forum and Wiki all I find is discussion about a 6.1 version being available, but I'm not really interested in that until it's officially released (with documentation).
My verbose background aside, I can't seem to find a download link for this release. When I go to the Dutty's lives-in-eu site, I get a server-not-found error. A few pages back in the thread there is another link, but it was password protected.
If for whatever reason Dutty's site has been removed, can anyone else recommend a ROM that has lots of space, the "cube" (or similar finger navigation), slide to unlock and AT&T Tilt stuff (like a compatible radio and Connection Settings)?
Help?
I should also mention that I really appreciated the "Acronyms" sections of the Wiki and FAQ. My first reading of the board was nearly impossible with the number of acronyms. Perhaps someone could add something explaining the 'Cube' ? It seems like a very big feature for the Tilt / Touch, but I can't find a good explanation of what TouchFlo / FTouchFlo / Cube etc., really are, where they came from, etc.
Dutty's new ROM is not available yet. Friday is what he is saying. I use his v4 and it works great other than the damn weather plugin that I finally got P1tater to help me out with. Very fast, and stable.
Here is an alternate link for the V4
http://www.4shared.com/file/36654074/65521948/Duttys_Dualtouch_v4_RTM.html?dirPwdVerified=1f45688
This is the best cube.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102
Here we go.
Ftouchflo enables you to drag you finger across the screen for scrolling.
FtouchfloConfig is the app to allow you to access the cube. Once enabled you can "usually" drag you finger from bottom to top of your screen to launch the cube. If you can't get it try to reduce the duration from 100 to 300.
Dutty V4 is a very good WM6 rom. It is his current stable release. He is working on 6.1, and a lot of peeps on here are chomping at the bit for it.
Unfortunatley his download section is down (hence the page not found error on the site).
I'd recommend a Schaps or Alex rom at the moment, if you can't get dutties.
Alex has a Wiki page that explains wha is in each. There are 7 versions, including a cube one.
My advice to you is keep reading posts, and it will all start to make sense.
You can install anything you want (eg SU2U), try searching for the cabs or ask if you are really stuck or don't know what summat is called. you can use google, see the stcky on the ofther kaser post.
To be honest it is all down to personal prefs. All the chefs here are very good at what they do... Schaps, Dutty, Alex et al. It doesn't cost anything to flash a new ROM everyday (unless you muck it up ) so try all of the ROMS here and see which one suits your prefs best.
I think the server Dutty is using is down right now, and that's why you are unable to download DualTouch V4. Check the site: http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/cms/ every now and then, and if it comes back up, there will be a folder called DualTouch where you will be able to download the ROM.
For now, its possible to get the cube on the Q-Mobile ROM. Visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350011 and download the files. I believe this cube runs quite well. It has a different skin than the original cube, but poorlyduck has also included files to revert back to the original skin. Just read the thread and I'm sure you will figure it out...
Hope that helps...
Wow you guys all nailed it.
Thank you Dave for the explanation, I added it to my notebook. Is FTouchFlo something that HTC made for the Kaiser or did someone port it over? If so, whom? I'd like to see what else they did, maybe donate.
Thank you alltheway for that link, it looks like you've got a lot of stuff shared out there. I just finished the Dutty v4, so I'll be trying it...
And zakhir I downloaded that cube, the Vista one. Finally have one that works, woohoo! Thanks. One question though - is there anyway to make s2u2 work with the Cube? When I 'slide to unlock' left to right, I end up opening the cube and spinning it.
EDIT: Nevermind, found the answer to that one with Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360813

DCS v1.5
Give DCS a try!
I found its really fast and has essential progs.
I believe it is comparable to Dutty Roms.
You must of course flash a new radio

You can add s2u2 to the exceptions settings of ftouchflo... then you wont activate the cube when trying to unlock the phone from s2u2

Just curious why you chose to use older camera app
I saw the list of apps looks pretty impressive...but just have a question why you decided to base the ROM w/o the newest camera version.
Looks nice though...might have to give it a whirl...
My phone / coverage area does not seem to like the 1.58.26.20 radio however...so I will be changing that right away.

Sorry man connection is not that fast...downloading now
Installed this ROM for a while...
and I must say I am very impressed. Has a lot of nice features and is very very fast. I didn't have any issues with it. Great job my man...very nice indeed
The only thing I would change is have the Network Configuration Wizard pop up on 1st boot. Not that it's a big issue for me but that a lot of users might have problems on first boot
The Best of the Kaiser ROM Collection
'stainlesspc'! Great to see you cooking and thanks for this pure & simple ROM!
I've added you to my top ten cooks!
Even 'alltheway' is impressed
Nice one! Thanks!
My Feedback will follow...
A few more screen shots are way appreciated.
Thnx
WOW am humbled Thanks Guys.
alltheway - I will look in to the camera. I pretty much tried to keeo it simple and not to many frills and fluf to slow things down.
As for the Net Config Wizzard, How does one go about getting it to pop on the first boot ? I used it straight from Alex's packages.
Why I have your attention can you explain why it shows the 1.60.00.00 on boot and how to correct it ?
Again THANKS FOR THE KIND AND SUPPORTIVE REVIEWS
It is a testament to the forum

It was in Alex's packages adn I own a copy so I use it.
You do have to have a code to make it functional though
I guess I could leave it out for the general population next time.

I don't think there is anything wrong with putting trail software into a ROM. In fact I think this actually benifits the companies as a whole. If you like and use the software as much and deem is necessary to have then you purchase it.
I'm not sure how you would make the Network Configuration come up on first boot. I notice that when I did install it did not bring me to the normal installation packages like installing a .tsk home screen and that nature. I did a reboot and then the network configuration came up without any issues.
I am also not sure what it's coming up as 1.60.00.00
What OS build are you using?

I wouldn't understand why it would still show 1.60.00.00
I know that with Build 5.2.19716 The Rom is trully a 1.60.00.00
I don't know why yours would be showing this. I know that Sleuth255 changes his to a custom number like his name and then the number. I would perhaps ask him how this could be accomplished....sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi! I installed your rom but decised I liked Duttys better (no pun intended) but I can't seem to get rid of the enitial silver screen with the rom version info. How do I go about removing this?
I don't do Windows!
...or .net
There, that sums up why I wrote my own page pool changer
I do all my development on Linux, but this app will run on:
XP, Vista, Linux, OSX, Solaris, WM5 & WM6!
Thats right, edit the page pool right on your MicroSD flash chip while its still in your phone!
Heres version 1.0, I'd like someone who has a different page pool changer program to verify that mine modifies the file the same way on all platforms.
The program requires the eTcl runtime, which you can install to your Storage Card to save space. Theres a runtime for Window, WM5/6, Linux and OSX at:
http://www.evolane.com/software/etcl/index.html .
On my phone I run the Standard version, but I believe any of the 3 would work fine. After thats installed, it will create file associations for .tcl files.
Just click on pagepool.tcl and it should run.
Its the same pagepool.tcl application file for all platforms, so when I make an update, everyone grabs the same app file, regardless of your operating system.
Edit Jun 8 2008: Fix a bug that would make Duttys new V1 not boot after changing the pagepool.
Fixed bug caused by first fix, now version 1.1a.
Edit Jun 10 2008: Version 1.1b Added pagepool sizes 1,2,4 & 64meg.
And we need some screenshots and the application:
My impression is...
Wowwwww!!!!
Very fast at analyzing and modifying rom. Multi OS platform too. Tried it on L26 Diamond v5...Success.
Good job. Hmmm....I like this tcl lang. Going to try it.

What platform are you running? I'll be glad to point you to the best Tcl resources on the net. Start with the wiki at http://wiki.tcl.tk as everything about the language revolves around the wiki. I'm a professional programmer and have been using Tcl for over 10 years and it just keeps getting better.

Ha...ha...ha... I think you gonna be one of the SIFU (Master) here in XDA-Developer Community.
I'm flashing L26_V5 again but with 16meg pagepool and todays date ...%50
Update: Cool, 81.55 megs free, just as Tayton got with a 16meg page pool.
So for L26_V5 it works fine after being edited on the phone itself.
Thanks Tayton for the howto and thanks Kyphur for giving me a screen shot to base my program on.
Sometimes I spend hours contemplating the layout of a gui.
Update2: Changed pagepool to 32meg, flashed, and phone shows 65.50 megs free, 16megs less than the previous 81.55 megs. Good, now I can go back to 16megs an use my phone again.
Incredible work
Thanks, mate....

Don't worry. It won't brick other phone if they follow the rules. The first one is to know and learn about HardSPL. If it still happen then it's all mistake done by themself who never learn to read the WIKI or at least go through the posts on specific threads regarding the issue of interest.
So my suggestion for noobs is..... LEARN FIRST..READ THE WIKI AND THEN, FULFILL YOUR NEEDS.

Fixed a critical bug
I just fixed a bug that would make Dutty's new V1 not boot after changing the pagepool.
Reason: I hard coded byte 2 of the pagepool, that doesn't work
Please fetch a new copy. Its now version 1.1
Hopefully I was the only one who spent 4 hours trying to boot a corrupted ROM.
Booting up to Duttys Diamond V1 w/16meg pagepool now, looking good.
Hi,
Will this work for WM6.1 ROMS?

Yes! Actually, I've only tested it with WM6.1 ROMs.
I'm running Duttys Diamond V1 with 16meg pagepool right now.
Confirmed! The Dutty's Diamond v1 modified by this tool works nicely as expected.
I've noticed that all ROMs have 2 dates and 2 pagepool points to edit, except for HyperDragon III WM6.1 WWE ROM CE OS 5.2.19588 Build 19588.1.1.4, which only has one set each.
Does anyone know why? Does this correlate with other page pool changer apps?
Ok, apologies for starting a new thread on what's probably been done a hundred times. But I notice info is scattered around literally 1000's of pages so I thought I' just start a simple one here to a pretty simple question.
I'm getting a stock Orange e650 and want to put Manilla2D on it, or just WM6.1.
I've read up on the SPL etc, and Dr. Martin Gonzo's WM 6.1 zip seems pretty idiot proof with very clear instructions. I'm pretty confident about flashing it.
However, I've not found a simple guide to Manilla2D. Does Manilla2D sit on top of 6.1? ie, I install WM6.1, and then the cab files for M2D?
The .zip I have has various .cab files which I imagine are executed on the device. But when and how?
I basically need a solid guide to installing a stable Manilla2D build.
I'm happy take pictures and write up a guide as I do it if one doesn't exist. A sort of 'noob's' guide from a 'noob's' perspective.
Thanks
Because there is no simple way to get manilla 2d to work on a smartphone^^ Try allshadow.com forums, there is a thread with guides!

I don't know if manilla runs on 6.0, but 6.1 is a definite improvement over 6.0!
the first treath is now renewed
with it its now very easy to get manila working but at least with neo and wm6.1 rom the upper symbols(like mute signal strange etc) are white boxes.(maybe another 96dpi hack will solve it runs smoothly on my vox except landscape even with installed patch it wont work.
Anyone interested in making a 6.1 ROM with Manilla2D already installed? Is it by any means possible?
DID DO
But the 96 dpi hack eems to make things impossible to use on a daily basis
try the random audio manager that keeps loading
Ok Guys
I suppose that you all know about the the 3.14 Rom by now .... I must admit that it is quite fast compared to the previous stock builds from HTC.
However the mystery comes here. This version comes insalled with Manilla Build 2018 and to my suprise
- There is no Ereader tab
- There is no Documents tab
- There is no Facebook tab
- There is no Manilla TV tab
- There is no FM Radio tab
- There is no Manilla Today Page tab
It would be really cool guys / chefs / developers alike if we could have CABS for the above-mentioned tabs. There was a project over here which had 5 of the above tabs added to Manilla. However with the latest build of Manilla, there is an error (an unknown exception) when Manilla launches. Unfortunately this project (of the extra tabs ) was discontinued.
There is also a ROM out there (by Netdgr if I am not mistaken) which has some of these extra tabs included (and also includes the FM Radio tab) but this ROM is unfortunately in French
I would really wish some help from you fellows so that maybe we introduce a section where new Tabs are posted by developers and people would be able to add/remove Cabs individually so that they can customize their Manilla.
if anyone can help out or maybe let people like me know where to find the different tabs (cabs of them), it would be greatly appreciated if you could post your links here. The more tabs the better.
I thank everyone again for being such a great community. The HD2 is truly a good mobile but XDA does really make it rock!
Regards
Al
are you talking about a stock 3.14 rom? i didnt think these tabs existed as part of a stock rom and they were made by the chefs (i could be wrong on this)
id love to see an fm radio tab! im currently running cleanex dse v6 so ive got a facebook, documents, gps and tv tab. no e reader tho
I dont think those tabs are in stock Roms.

Haha. I was thinking the same thing! Only 'cause I don't even remember what a stock rom looks like!!!
The 3.14 rom on the HTC website is Stock rom, not Cooked rom!!
tray to use a cooked rom instead.
Generally Note:
I will not fill up this thread with help for installations of one of these cab files.
This will be done in the owner thread. But a short PM after installation with

The Manilla Today Page tab is also possible. I use on my own. There two
threads here on xda. Search for manila today page and then for my avatar name.
- MTP thread for the HD2 (link to the 1st posting)
- new MTP icons (link to my post)
Installation info's:
- In the cab file there is a file named 26948339_manila. This is the tab control
file. But this file is for a clean ROM. So i think it is better to edit this file on your
own. If someone needs help. Please ask me
- There is also every time that you startup your phone, a popup that tells you
that MTP is started. This can be switched off.

HTC will bring a new one in the next 10 days, i hope. Because some languages

again, i hope. Because the 2.5.1921 is a very intensive development for everyone

Sorry to disappoint you but you are wrong .... the ereader tab emerged as part of T-Mobile's ROMS and Dutty was kind enough to make it a standalone tab. So please don't come tell me "the chefs did it ..." .. its not the case at least with the Ereader tab.
I am not too sure RE the Documents tab either... If I am not mistaken it has originated from another stock ROM (probably US TMo again...)
As far as the FM Radio / Manilla TV / GPS tracker / RSS Tab as mentioned ... and Facebook tabs... they are all done by the chefs over here ... but so far they have been presented as part of ROMS...
Don't have me wrong guys. But personally I prefer stock roms, cool homebrew stuff done by developers at XDA. I am not into total customization of the HD2... I am sure that there are many people out there which share the same opinion.
Again it would be REALLY COOL if we could create a STICKY with all the cool tabs which the developers create ... so everyone could customize his / her Manilla as he or she wishes....I don't think that any of the tabs hog the HD2
As for the age thing re the HD2.... By all means HD2 AIN'T OLD .... it outspecs the HD7 for f**k sake! .... I think that HTC realised that ... and I don't think they really like the HD2....This little baby .... is capable of running WP7 .... and Android like a charm.....Microsoft's attempt at saying that the HD2 DOES NOT have enough hardware buttons was ridiculous! the HD7 has 3 ... the HD2 has 5! More buttons does not mean less specs.... stop doing marketting HTC and M$.... it sucks....
Well where were we? Oh yes .... if anyone has ... any useful info please post here ... I will do the necessary research and come back to you with LINKS and pics if possible ... so we could make this one good thread Things should have been tried and tested to work ........
Many thanks
Al

If you were referring to me ... I always used stock Roms .... I love cooked ROMS mind you but I usually prefer the standard feel of the phone ... but some extra tabs won't hurt .... Never had a documents tab or ereader tab ... but read on pocketnow .... about it ... and these were introduced by Tmo US .... Then Mr. Dutty was kind enough to create a standalone app... but tab does not work on build 2018 (manilla).....

The 3.14 rom on the HTC website is Stock rom, not Cooked rom!!
tray to use a cooked rom instead.

I KNOW that it is a stock ROM .... but there is no need to revert to a cooked ROM if I just want to install a couple of CABS .... again there are people like me who just want to customise some little things here and there ... they don't really want heavy modding ...
a HUGE THANKS...

HTC will not support any more tabs in here roms. Because the HD2 is to old for this guys. Ha, ha, to old? The HD2 is at this time the best what you can get with this big screen. And i know so many people with a HD2. Also in different beta groups. And co0kie says: my HD2 is holy .
On questions about the tabs ask me please. Possible i can help out. But use at 1st a PM please.

Maybe you never tried stock Roms ... but always remember that the chefs (who are brilliant by the way) .... always cook their rom versions from the original rom ... I have nothing against it ... but if I just want to add an extra tab or 2 and with the rest I'm happy why not keep the rom I'm happy with ?
Again ... I have looked at dozens or roms out there ... many of them have one thing and do not have another .... but at the end of the day ... it' all boils down to taste really ...
I have updated my posting #7 about the HD2 tabs. In this case the Manila Today Page info.
