This rom starts where my older roms left off as far as "stripped down-ness" . My roms have AT&T connnection settings by default so no need to install and run HTC Connection Setup if you are an AT&T customer. Keyboard is Tilt layout so install KaiserKeyboard.cab attached below to change to Kaiser layout. Now onto the deets:
3.53.DK.02
- All Tweaks removed (cab included in rar)
- Removed Comm Manager (cab included in rar)
- Put back SIM Manager
- Clear Storage runs after flashing (no need to hard reset, but I still recommend you do)
- Overall more refined (I started from scratch on this one to work out some bugs)
3.53.DK.01
- starts where 3.51.DK.01 left off, nearly identical
- custsat.dll replace with no2chem's dummy file
- AUTD in CommManager replaced with 3G Toggle, cab also available below
3.51.DK.01 (4/24, radio not included)
- starts where 3.02.DK.05 left off
- removed help files from OEM_Lang_0409
- removed bmp's associated with help files
- removed DRM from OEM_Lang_0409 and SYS
- removed several dll's that are a part of Audio Manager and Streaming Player
- replaced NetCF 3.5 and SqlCe 3.5 with NetCF 2.0 and SqlCe 3.0 (for compatibility)
Stuff I noticed in 3.51:
- Addition of disptools.dll in OEMDrivers with new registry settings to go with it! I have no idea what this does and I'd love it if someone could enlighten me.
- AutoShortcut.exe and a shortcut to it that gets place in StartUp. Don't know what this does either.
- HTCCpl.cpl changed to MyCpl.cpl and mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml reflects those changes. These cpl's control some items under "Settings".
- New bluetooth registry settings! not sure if this is related, but the blue light no longer turns on when you reset.
- What happened to the Program memory? 85.32 down from the usual 101.32.
Issues:
- Microsoft Voice Command versions older than 1.6.19209 will cause lockups.
- Typing area does not show with IM+.
- No video when using CorePlayer in QTv mode.
- I don't use TCPMP, but I'm guessing this still does not work either.
- Using cleartype in landscape mode causes text to disappear.

DO NOT INSTALL RADIO 1.65.17.10 IF YOU WANT TO DOWNGRADE IT LATER, I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO PROVIDE A LINK FOR IT, Thanks ATW !
I've started to mod my cabs to install to their own folders under \Program Files instead of \Windows whenever possible to keep the directory as clean as possible. 3.51 has 814 objects in \Windows after flash and opens wicked fast through File Explorer. Voice Command still seems to be in the grey area for posting so PM me for the my new 19209 version that installs to \Program Files\Voice Command. Help files are removed from my new cabs. Cabs attached below with more to come.
Update: There were some issues with 3 of my cabs and I just removed them from my first post. I will re-up them to my second post once I fix. I need to apologize to the 23 members that downloaded HTCQuickGPS 1_00_220821_00, the 17 members that downloaded MSInternetSharing 6.0 and the 15 members that downloaded MSRemoteDesktopMobile 6.1.
click me if you wanna give a me a little somethin'

4/24 - Fixed QuickGPS and InternetSharing cabs attached.
5/13 - Added ArcsoftMMSComposer 5_0_31_19.cab

Great, time to flash again...

Hung on the Windows Mobile 6.1 screen right after the flash. Had to hard reset to get past that point.
Loading up my apps now to see how it works.

People might check THIS link to get TCPMP working on your ROM.
Have to admit that I haven't tried it with your ROM. There are at least 3 new ROM's available from the last two days. So I have to check out a lot
Great work btw on your new release! Keep it up!

akadonny, Did you make the APN/RIL changes on this AT&T build for us BBC users?

No. Didn't have any requests for this so never thought to include it. Give me a few minutes and I'll make one for ya.
Edit: I just took a look at your instructions for "Multiple Data Sessions". Was about to make a new rom when I checked my registry. If the only change that needs to be made is:
<parm name="AGPSNVSetting" datatype="integer" value="5" />
then my rom is good to go for BBC. Happy flashing!

I just reflashed to the 3.02 because this one kept locking up on me. I don't me SOD either, I mean total lockup with the backlight on full brightness for 5-6 minutes...
I might try the multi connection ROM shortly.

Did you install Voice Command? Using any version other than 1.6.19209 will cause your phone to lockup. Took me a while to figure this out, but found it installing 1 proggy at a time. Also, radio 1.65.14.06 is required.

no voice command, had the radio from your first post installed too...
*however* i didn't flash the radio first... i just realized that. i'll flash the radio & then flash the rom to see if it gets any better.

I didn't know the order of flashing mattered? I flash my phone so much while testing my rom before release that I lose track of these things. I do however always do a master reset after each flash.
Anyways, let me know how it goes. I've been using this rom since yesterday without any issues.

i think it might since it hung during startup before i put the radio on.
reflashed the radio & then the rom a little while ago. loading up my apps to see if i get locks again

Right, well I found out what's killing it.
BB Connect seems to be making it die, which makes me wonder if it's the data connection or BB Connect...
EDIT: Loaded Alex's "clean" ROM & it doesn't seem to have the same issue.
EDIT2: Can't get BBC to connect on Alex's ROM, so 3.02 it is for a while longer...

landscape mode - issue with text
akadonny,
Loaded this new ROM on my AT&T Tilt and notice a weird issue (didn't have this with the previous version). In regular mode typing text via the onscreen keyboard is visible. When I switch to landscape mode all text that can be typed disappear or it doesn't appear until you go to a new line. I noticed this when I went to enter my Personal Information.
Otherwise it's working fine for what I use on the device so far.

I didn't understand you at first, but I think this may be by design. Just to be clear you are saying that you type using the on screen keyboard entering your Owner Information and when you switch to landscape the on screen keyboard closes until you tap the screen again. Is this right? I tested this and the on screen keyoard seems close under any app where you can type when you switch to landscape. I think I do remember the on screen keyboard staying open in landscape before.

Ok. So I loaded up the straight bloatware ROM & don't have any of the issues with an immediate lockup when BBC is installed.
Maybe when something was taken out it broke something else in another way that wasn't visible?
At least the ROM is decently speedy for a full on vendor one.

thanks for another release akadonny!
Seems to be running well. Does this have a differently sized pagefile?
Thanks,

At what point does it lock up? Installed the software to my Tilt, ran through the initial setup, soft reset when it told me to and now I have a blackberry tray icon. I click on the tray icon and I have several tabs. I've attached a few screenshots. The cab I used to install it is to big to attach, but I downloaded it from here.

Tomal 8.2 vs. TomTom 7 problem

Hi guys!
tailazoom told me here that tomtom 7 creates a slow refresh of icons after soft resets or long standby periods...
I tried to uninstall it and everything worked well again.
I'd like not to revert on tomtom 6, which don't have this issue, so the question is: what ver.7 makes to create random 4-5 sec. freezes?
Is there any fix for it?
Thanks!

I haven´t any problem with tt7 and tomal´s v8.2.
Go to this url, you have everything about tt.

Good luck!!!

Half fixed!
As I thought, the problem was caused by icons.
I simply created a new folder in \Windows\Start Menu\ called SD programs and moved all the links of sd installed apps there.
No more problems on Start->Programs.
The issue remains when I first access SD Programs. Device freezes for 10 seconds, then continue working.
The only idea I have now is to create an executable with the right icon that simply launches the program... So it would work...

Another little step:
after creating the new folder everything worked good, except while accessing that folder.
So I searched some launcher and I found VJBrisk which is useful to use an intermediate exe.
But when I replace in Start->Programs the links with the ones pointed to VJBrisk, I obtain the VJBrisk icon, not the one linked.
So, how can I change those icons?
The alternate idea was to create an exe which simply execute the program, and that contains the correct icon. Something similar may be made with MortScript, but it seems a little tricky to do...
Any suggestion?

Real VGA on x7510

Dear Tobias and friends,
I would like to install Real VGA and the other 2 DPI cab files into my Italian htc x7510 WM 6.1 pro but, beig really a newbye,...WHERE have I to put these files ? In wich Folders ?
2nd Question...Is there any risk ? It seems someone in the forum had problems due to the WM 6.1... Is there someone who tried successfully Real VGA on an Italian version ? With wich precautions ?
Thank you for an answer

I've used RealVGA on my x7510 since I got it w/o any problems at all. Works great and it makes the huge display really worthwhile.
When you install it be sure to install to main memory, not the flash drive or a storage card -- that's true for the RealVGA program and both dpi programs. Then reboot your x7510, open RealVGA, select whichever dpi you want and it will reboot again -- should then work fine.

Hello,
I try to use the sw but I have problems with the excel program, dont run if the realVga is intalled in my HTC 7510 spanish.
when I made the installation I have a message that said: Missind 128 DPI resources
ipsecvpnres.dll is not found.
Can you help me?
thanks a lot

I had a similar problem (not ony with excel but with any program with a box to edit a number).
I think that the problem is with the SIP keyboard that does not work on 96/128 dpi. Install another SIP keyboard (like resco keyboard) and all should work fine again.

Or you could just drop the three files in the attached RAR into your Windows folder...

missing msimit
Thank you all
I installed Real VGA and also the file you suggested but there are still problems:
1) first of all there is a message that msimit.128.dll and msimit.96.dll are missing. Where can i find them ?
2) some programs do not run properly: e.g. in Agenda Fusion 8.60 contacts, the icons commads at the bottom are not displayed.
3) If it will become necessary, how can I go back to the original display ?

you must copy the msim.128.dll and msim.96.dll to another folder, rename it to msimit.128.dll and msimit.96.dll, and copy back to windows-folder
if you want your original display with 192dpi, start real vga and set it to 192dpi, restart, ready. some progs are not working with that, eg s2u2 will not go back to 192dpi

Dear All,
I solved the problem with missing msimit : it was enough a files' rename.
Still open instead the problem with Agenda Fusion 8.6 (Developer One). At 192 dpi works properly but, at 96 and 128 dpi, even working well, the icon buttons at the bottom pages disappear, so that commands are not available.
Anyone knows a way to solve it ?

A Few Noob Questions

Hello,
I am a new AT&T Fuze owner and new in general to Windows Mobile "Professional". (Had a Symbian 60 Device Previously) I have been doing extensive reading and researching to figure out how to accomplish my goals but I keep running into dead ends. I have been searching forums and Google but I find that most information is formatted for people that have been in the community for a long time and understand all of the jargon. There seems to be so many flavors of windows and platforms that it makes my head spin and I also find that words like Smartphone, Pocket PC, Window CE, etc.. are thrown around very loosely.
Sorry for the preamble. Here is what I know so far.
Device = AT&T Fuze
CE OS 5.2.19971 (Build 19971.1.2.6)
CID = HTC_P4600 (Not listed in the WIKI here)
ROM = 1.95.502..5 WWE (10/20/08)
Radio = 1.02.25.32
Protocol = 52.39c.25.22h
First I was wondering if there was a positive way of knowing if a certain piece of software will work with my device and what that spec would be. Like does it go by windows version, phone version, both? Or at least some general rules of thumb what to take note of before trying a piece of software. (If it was designed for or works on other flavors of Raphael is it safe to try?)
My biggest problem at the moment is I can't seem to install anything anymore. I am getting a message about unsigned cabs or files missing. I'm hoping this wasn't something I did but it's a possibility. Some software "PPCPimBackup.exe" will still install but most won't like "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab". I even tried to make a simple .cab using CeRegEditor to adjust the city string for the weather tab in TF3D. Any help here would be most appreciated. I am very weary of all these so called "unlockers" out there and even read a thread here where someone bricked their device by installing the wrong software for the device.
Is the Fuze the same as the Diamond? (They look identical)
What is the preferred way to back up the entire device or is it even possible with standard software? Most of what I found backs up PIM info.
When a program (Taskmanager 3.1) says to minimize, where does it go? How do you bring it back to the foreground or do you have to install a taskbar manager?
I actually have more I want to ask but that probably wouldn't be prudent. I think if I could help myself better once I understand what software I can and can't use with my phone.
Many thanks in advance and apologize for noobing up your forum =P
Eidolen

I'll try to answer some of your questions.
1) Normally, software will say windows mobile 5 or 6 as a requirement along with maybe .Net Framework. If it's for Windows Mobile most likely it'll work. Just have to try it and see.
2) Your programs are probably not installing because you may not have the required .Net Framework. I know Advance Config requires .Net Framework 3.5. So if you don't have it, install it. You can find it here or from Microsoft's website. You need the Windows CE or Compact version.
3) The Fuze is similar to the Diamond but don't go trying to install ROMs that are made for the Diamond. Use the ones in the Raphael forums.
4) If you want to backup your entire device, use a program such as Sprite Backup. This will make a full backup of entire system excluding ROM. However, if you want to do a restore, you need to make sure you have the same ROM installed, if not, it will create a lot of problems.
5) With TaskManager, when you minimize it just continues to run in the background. Program is still loaded and taking up memory/etc. Similar to when you minimize something in Windows. To bring it back, you can view the TaskManager and restore to foreground.
Hope that helps somewhat.

Wow,
Thanks you for the quick and non condescending reply. I've been surfing more since I posted and hopefully I could get you to elaborate on a few things.

I did the .Net install and it went without a hitch but still no joy. I noticed on the authors support forums that others are having the same problem but no clear solution has been posted. /Sigh
I was thinking I needed to follow a procedure similar to the one listed here where you have to install a certificate and make some policy changes in the registry but since I can't find any info specifically for the Fuze I haven't done anything yet other than download the certificate that was linked in that post.
I should mention I am not a complete computer illiterate, and am fully comfortable with the registry and even more advanced techniques if necessary. I should also mention that I don't plan on replacing my rom at all. Just want to keep it to basic reg hacks, software installs, and some theming once I get things working the way I want.
I did already change one registry policy key (0000101a) to "1" from a thread I found on these forums, as it is something easily changed back but of course it did not help.
4) If you want to backup your entire device, use a program such as Sprite Backup. This will make a full backup of entire system excluding ROM. However, if you want to do a restore, you need to make sure you have the same ROM installed, if not, it will create a lot of problems.

I understand what you said but what I was trying to figure out is how to recall it from the background. It doesn't show up in the TF3D task list when it's minimized so I was wondering if you had to click on the task bar or do some certain trick to bring it to the fore-front. The ability to move between programs easily is my biggest gripe so far as I seem to have to open and close the keyboard, hit home or back a lot to move around. I would love the ability to hit some hot key or some secret spot on the screen to launch taskmanager and then I could use it to go to whatever program I wanted.
I have seen a few bugs in TM_3.1 that cause crashes, but it is an awesome program and hopefully the developer will keep working out the bugs. If there is another program you would recommend that accomplished the same type of functionality I'd be interested in trying it out.
Thanks again for your friendly help.

Just looked at the contents of that cab referenced from that link I posted. It is just a Setup.xml file with the following contents.
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="SecurityPolicy">
<parm name="4119" value="144"/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Any thoughts?

As for .Net, the following is from Modaco, and I found that it worked like a charm:
How to install and use .NET Compact Framework 3.5
If you're a developer or have knowledge of .net Compact Framework, you'll be aware that version 3.5 has shipped. You'll be aware that it offers a number of enhancements in features, stability and performance, and you'll likely also know that it provides full backwards compatability with previous versions of the Compact Framework. What you may NOT know is that when CF 3.5 is installed on a device, applications that target previous versions of the Compact Framework will continue to run against the old versions, and 3.5 and previous versions will live side by side on the device. Only when new devices come along will we see ONLY 3.5 on a device.
This presents a number of problems, namely
• Users who deploy CF 3.5 to their device but use applications targeting older versions will not benefit from the 3.5 performance improvements
• Developers who develop apps for pre CF 3.5 frameworks cannot easily test their applications ready for when 3.5 only devices come along
Thankfully, help is at hand in the form of a little known Compact Framework 3.5 powertoy named '.Net Configuration'. The application, which is available at Microsoft, provides the user with full granularity of control over the .net CF on their device. You can see installed versions, change the used CF version for a particular application or change the used CF version for all applications run on your device! Perfect!
Sadly in Microsoft's infinite wisdom the application in question is tucked away in simple EXE inside the 6.2MB download and somewhat hard to find, so i've taken the liberty of packaging it up into a CAB here that installs it with it's own Start Menu shortcut.
- Run '.Net Configuration' from your Start Menu
- Navigate to the 'Device Policy' tab and select version 3.5
- Select 'Apply' then 'OK'
That's it, you're done!

Thanks kindly but I'm guessing now that myself or a piece of software I've installed has borked my ability to install software. It seems I can install exe files but no cabs, including the one you posted will install.
As I've stated I have not made any attempts to unlock anything yet but have installed some software and made some registry tweaks. I wish I could see what exactly is happening like Procmon does for windows to pinpoint the problem, but I might just have to resort to a hard reset if I can't figure it out.
I'm open to any ideas but if I don't figure it out tonight I guess I'll reset tomorrow. Thanks for the guidance and help.
Cheers,
Eidolen

You might want to double-check that registry hack to make sure it's correct. Seems like a big coincidence that the one registry hack you've made so far is to allow unsigned cabs to install and the biggest problem you seem to be having is that you can't get unsigned cabs to install....

You might want to double-check that registry hack to make sure it's correct. Seems like a big coincidence that the one registry hack you've made so far is to allow unsigned cabs to install and the biggest problem you seem to be having is that you can't get unsigned cabs to install....

Yeah I gave that a shot but no joy. That wasn't the only reg hack I did but the only relating to "Unlocking". I haven't touched anything I wasn't pretty sure about. For instance I have looked at all the tweaks for speeding up the TF3D using cache setting but the numbers don't match so I never tried it. If I didn't understand what the tweak was I stayed away.
I did the PTT button tweak for voice/camera and played around with the cities for the weather app. Other than that I can't think of anything else I touched in the registry but I did a lot of looking.
On the other hand I have installed a good bit of software to try out. I have also rearranged my menu items by deleting shortcuts in the start menu folder. Even though I've done a good bit to the phone I think it might be best to start from scratch with a hard reset and start again with the knowledge I've gained in the past few days. My Opera browser has been getting a real workout with 40+ tabs going =P
I did find another thread here that has someone with a similar problem but the way it happened was entirely different. His fix was to wipe the phone and use the same software I was trying to install when I found this problem.

I took ecltech's advice and got Sprite Backup and made a backup already. I would rather fix the problem but it sounds like it might be difficult tracking it down so I'm prepared to start again. What would be great is finding some guide or general direction in what programs and or tweaks I should install and in what order and any other pertinent information regarding starting from scratch. "The Must Have" utilities and programs.
I can't believe how helpful everyone's been so far considering this is a developers board. I figured it was worth the risk to get chewed in the hopes of getting the best advice. With all the info surfing I've been doing it's clear that this is the site where it all happens.
Cheers and thanks again,

OMG!
I'm almost too afraid to admit it but at least I feel good that I figured it out on my own. I was smart enough to make a backup of the registry with CeRedEditor before doing anything major and remembered it had a compare feature. After loading it up It immediately occurred to me to look at HKCR\cabfile and that's where I found my answer.
I had downloaded a little free utility from SKTools called Cabinstaller that allows you to choose where programs get installed. Somehow the registry entry it made didn't correctly point to the executable. In any case I think I installed it late the other night and forgot about it because the exe files I installed after that installed fine. I should have tested it immediately and I wouldn't have had this problem. /sigh
Thank you everyone for the help and ideas and even though I've fixed this problem I still might do a full reset and start from scratch now that I got all mentally prepared to do it and start over feeling a little more confident in what I'm doing.
While it's on my mind right now and since I never got a solution for the question in my first post, is there a hack or small little program that will allow you to put a shortcut in either the top bar where the start menu is or in the bottom where the shortcut for the on screen keyboard is so I can invoke the Task Manager easily to help with navigating? I wouldn't even be opposed to a shortcut in the TF3D pop-up you get when clicking on the top right bar. It would be great if this could be done with a bloated program but not opposed to it if the program is useful.
Thanks again everyone. I guess I'll start a new post for any new questions. (I have lots but will try and figure out as much as I can by myself first.)
Cheers,
Eidolen

I think you're probably right about starting again from scratch. It would probably be less work than tracking down what's causing your problem and then you'll be starting with a cleaner slate for installing everything going forward.
There are a few different threads on here about what constitutes "must have" apps for the Fuze and the one thing I can say is that no two people agree on the list! Your best bet is to seach out those threads and see which ones you think would be most useful to you. A great place to get started is at http://www.blownfuze.org using username and password 'xda' (without the quotes)
My suggestions for the generic must haves are:
Total Commander
PHM Registry Editor (or whichever reg editor you prefer)
Diamond Tweak
Diamond TF3D Config
Other basic programs that might be worth checking out depending on what you do on your fuze are:
PocketShield or S2U2 for locking the phone
TCPMP Core Media Player
TorchButton for using the LED flash as a flashlight
BeyondPod or pRSS Reader for RSS feeds and podcasts
GoogleMaps and/or Live Search
Good luck!

Sprite backup is included in your Fuze as original software. I always keep a full backup copy on my Sd card of a good clean WM 6.1 install with all the must have tweaks done already. You will find it saves alot of headaches when you mess something up trying things out. After that I do a weekly backup as I add more and more stuff over time.

does diamond TF3D Config or diamond tweak work with this ROM version?

Thanks yzf750, I am preparing to do just that. I am getting prepared for a hard reset now once I notate what I want to keep that's on my phone already. Hopefully I can get it set up by the time my SD card arrives this coming week and can do the backup to it for keeps.
I read a blog post about doing a soft reset after a hard reset to prevent the ATT software from installing and I think I really want to try that. I just need to make sure I install the stuff I want to keep like TF3D manually afterwards. I'm hoping to find a more detailed guide for the procedure than what was posted though.
I'll post back and report if the smoke genie escapes or not.

some n00b guidance
Ok so i have been looking at these forums for a few days now doing homework before i even get the phone(its ordered). So my questions are
1. if i have AT&T unlock the phone(i know someone who works there so i hope they can help out) do i still need to do the hardspl to change radios etc?
2. Whats really the difference between all these roms built by users and just using BuildOS(im assuming this works on GSM phones and not just CDMA because its from PPC) to build your own ROM? and do most of these tweeks come prebuilt into these roms or do u still need to to other stuff? i.e reg tweaks etc, like i think it would be better for me to just build a rom with BuildOS with the apps i want etc and not keep flashing all the time
3. Is GPS still a problem for people?, i think ill just use tomtom or garmin and hope for the best as its not a huge concern. After looking around i guess its just a matter of finding the radio that works best for the individual, so anyone in the .US new england area have any recommendations of the best radio in the northeast like NYC area?
4. whats a good order to do this stuff?, i plan on using the phone for a couple days or so as stock just to get the general feel of the OS in general. then prolly flash the ROM with a custom BuildOS ROM(unless someone can provide the difference between BuildOS and say PROven ROM), then do w.e else needs to be done. ive seen the recommeded tweaks, just not sure if they still need to be done with a flashed ROM. not really looking for a game phone more office apps like RDP and irc etc, sys admin tools
Basically i think theres just a ton of info on here which is a good thing but im just getting started on Winmo although flashing etc dosent intimidate me so im eager to get started just a little unclear on some things and cant seem to find the answer just surfing, so any help or links to some stuff i might have missed is appreciated. Pretty much just want a smooth runnin ROM thats not stock of course, decent gps reception and the apps i want. thanks all

Look here, I made a little write-up for the basics using a stock ATT ROM. I ran this routine actually twice on my phone (ROM flashing junkie) so it should be fairly complete.
I have to note that, in most cases at least, I know what I do and can "recover" from a ROM flash within ~ 30 minutes, having all software, tweaks and contacts restored.
Regarding ROMs
That's an open can of worms with two next to it waiting. Read the threads and read the problems and decide later if you want to flash or not. If you are not used to WinMo phones it's perhaps better to hold back a week or two.
Some ROMs are built from original Raphael builts others are based on WinMo 6.1 but contain partially applications and tweaks from other HTC devices. The latest build # need not to be the best. For example RRE's ROM is based on the original ATT ROM and he created a really nice good performing ROM while other Chefs rip out first all guts and basics of a ROM (making it "naked") adding features and programs later. That's a more or less political discussion what's better and what's not and you have to decide yourself based on what you read and/or experience. For MY part I know Monx/HT from the Tilt times and always appreciated his work and speedy ROMs and he continued the same line on the Raphael/Fuze though it took him some time to come where he is right now.
As said all political in that regards, almost all ROMs out there ARE GOOD and have advantages in the one or the other area.
Tweaks
Yes the tweaks work even for a stock ATT ROM with ATT's TouchFlo/Manila (though I think it's plain ugly).
GPS
Again a difficult subject. For example the stock GPS (enabled or disabled assisted GPS settings) works kinda well with google maps BUT doesn't perform as expected with 3rd party GPS apps (TomTom, iGO). Keep in mind a lot came from other devices and for example iGO on the Tilt rocked down to the street number with no lag at all where the Fuze is doing more "guesstimating" than performing (compared to the Tilt).
Backup
Do a PIM backup once or twice a week and do a FULL backup once a week or if you installed new software after you confirm that you like it. If you wreck your phone for whatever reason AND you stay with the SAME ROM a full restore will work.

Just Wow!
That's an impressive piece of work there. I haven't stopped reading or poking around while I'm waiting for my SD card to get here and had quite some experience today. I did read the thread regarding doing a "Non-Bloat" Install and actually started to do it but stopped when I realized there still seems to be some residual bugs to the process. I figured for now even with the little bit of confidence I've gained I'd wait on that a little longer.

I forgot to check the memory and storage readings sadly but I figured this list could be checked against the full bloat version to see what processes and services could be killed. I figured I'd play with a full working install so if anything didn't work I would know it was from myself or software I installed instead of guessing if it was a side effect of the no bloat process. Also I could learn what the bloat was and strip it away.
Once I decided on Bloat I started a Log/Diary of everything I did for my own reference and thought it might be useful for troubleshooting later. Everything was going smooth until I decided to take on the behemoth named RealVGA.
Luckily I made a full Sprite backup previous to playing with it and am reinstalling that backup as I write this.
If there is one piece of advice I could give from the little knowledge I've gained so far is that most of the upper-end hacks/tweaks software that is available are living breathing complex entities and are not to be taken lightly. Each one needs to be thoroughly researched and understood before using unless you have an older device that has been supported for a long time. I find very little information on using most software regarding the Fuze even though it is very similar to other devices. Truth is, it is not identical which can make things hairy at times. Anyway the more you fail, the more you learn.
For other Fuze owners out there I'll post my personal log so you have an idea what programs I had trouble with and what I tried to do to resolve them. For sure I had huge problems with RealVGA as well as PocketCM and PocketCm Keyboard. It's a shame too as they all are outstanding upgrades.
Well I think I'll be ready for your tutorial when my card gets here so I will be sure to report back to let you know how it went. I already learned a lot just from reading it. For one I didn't know you could do anything over usb if you cancelled the ActiveSync. I just used that trick while restoring my phone and still haven't done a sync. I'm sure that guide will be a huge help to many like myself.
Huge Thanks!

RealVGA is nice but not sure it's worth this effort. Just too many problems.
Noticed graphics in TF3D are much slower and laggy now as well.

Good info on this subject is hard to come by. Most ppl seem to have good luck with this app.
Went to re-tick the skin option in RealVGA but it was still ticked. hmmm
What I think is needed is an app that could swap resolutions on the fly with a hotkey. ( Prolly not technically possible)
At least you could have normal usage and only use for certain apps that really benefit from it.
After another reboot the "Disable phone skin" is checked again. Guess it can't be unticked.
Un-ticked "No enlarge title Bar" in Diamond TF3D Config
I am able to open the "Programs" link from the start menu, wonder why settings is screwed.
Tried settings again, no joy, was able to use home key though this time. Not locked up.
Start menu does not work now though. Yikes, had to use reset this time.
Throws arms in the air!
Hard Reset =(

You are funny eidolen.
If you want copy the files I provided to your device (since you don't have a DS yet) and play with it.
You'll hard reset anyway when the SD arrives - LOL

Your also going to find at some point that the more and more tweaks and modifications you make,more problems will start sufacing. I was a rom flashing junkie like many on this forum for 2 years. Since I replaced my prior phone with the Fuze I am running just the stock rom without bloatware and a FEW select tweaks (includes radio change). It runs fast, works good and I dont have to soft reset it all the time.
Take a look at every custom rom, Im not putting any of them down, but after time the threads on them become 100 plus pages long, the number of other fixes to get them running right become impossible to keep track of. It becomes a daily job of just trying to keep that rom working without breaking some other feature or getting it to work right. They put out weekly fixes on most custom roms. They start out with the right intention, but it soon becomes just a bloated non oem rom after time.
Its addicting and fun, but at some point a person just wants to use the phone instead of hard resetting it all the time, flashing roms nightly and trying to figure out how to fix stuff in each rom.
I reached that point now and my fuze is outstanding without having to spend days tinkering with it. It is snappy, reponsive and ALL the software I have installed on it works, and the GPS works flawlessly even inside my house.
But again, your "hands on" approch as your doing now, is probaly the best way to learn

teh bestest
between these last few posts and my little chat with our neighbors PPC on there irc channel i am pretty confident i know what the deal is now, you guys have been a great help, i think im going to play a bit with some roms of course but eventually land on a bloat free standard rom with some added apps like putty and irc etc for sysadmin work, on that note yzf750 could u tell me exactally what u have running on yours sounds like its what im looking for.

uni strange behavior, need opinion/technical advice

Greetings!!! earlier, i posted a message at Tomal's 8.9 ROM thread regarding the strange TCPMP program that keeps on running after getting my uni out from standby state. aside from tcpmp, i noticed that taskbar indicator was running on its own as well.
thinking that its a ROM problem, i reflashed using same Tomal's 8.9 but after few minutes, tcpmp and taskbar indicator run on its own again.
then, i decided to DOC format and flashed it wit same ROM but no better result. again, i did format once more and installed tomal's 8.81 to check if its just a software glitch since after experiencing the foregoing, easymoney 1.0 does not seem to work properly unlike before.
surprisingly, same problems appeared just like in 8.9 as mentioned above, hence, this thread seeking for your technical opinion guys if what i have encountered is just a software/ROM incompatibility or my uni's retirement will be forthcoming due to hardware failure.
your opinion on this matter will be highly appreciated. once more, many thanks in advance and more power...
phezthie

Hi as far as i remember tomal's 8.9 doesn't have tcpmp ... so did you install the tcpmp after reflashing ???? if not then check your sd card... in sd card go to program files and delete the tcpmp folder (if there is any) see... as the programs installed in sd doesn't get erased when flashing...
and if you did install tcpmp player after reflash try another version of tcpmp...
Hope it helped...

hi rajiv, both versions of Tomal's ROM have TCPMP bundled in its multimedia folder. at any rate, i will remove TCPMP folder as suggested and check if it will do the trick, tnx again. regards mate

Can't really delete the pre-installed programs or folders that come with the ROM. Check your startup items in windows and try from there.

Check the following:
1. \Windows\StartUp
2. Open DF's TaskManager, go to process tab and check the running processes
3. Open DF's TaskManager, go to notification tab and check the entries
4. Do the DOC format twice (i.e., task 32, task 28 55aa, task 28 55aa), then disconnect the battery for couple of minutes. Reconnect the battery and flash a confirmed previously working rom.
If nothing is observed abnormal then HW fault is suspected. If you have more Uni then try exchanging the keyboard membrane....

i'm now constrained to buy extra one, imate jasjar, unfortunately its a 64uni also, no 128 available yet
regards

the culprit? SD card
i found the solution to my problem
earlier today, i flashed using v8.9 (zaxxman). thereafter i removed the sd card after installing the cabs i needed and made a hard reset. since then, i never experienced tcpmp and homeplus taskbar indicator to run on their own. likewise, easymoney is now running perfect.
as it turned out, its not a ROM problem, applause to master chef Tomal of course, and more importantly, such discovery saved me a lot since what i need to buy now is the card and not another unit as i intimated earlier.
many thanks to all... cheers
