But this means it has the improvements of HTC's (un)official ROM which means spb DDB BitBit performance, right?

Very likely, cause its the latest build.
Need download link to try the rom.

i like this rom but I want to Reorganize programs into certain folders
How do i do this?
Also, is there any way to choose where/what folder Cabs install to?

Same bug as the leaked HTC one, text not displayed on landscape mode if cleartype is enabled.
Little else has been changed.

What do yo mean?... Reorganize programs in start menu or program in Program Files folder??...
If it is the menu, you can use Total Commander (free) and navigate to /Windows/Start Menu...
Do what ever you want to...
EDIT: And for the installation location, you can choose to install in internal memory or storage card... All apps will go to Program Files, but some will go to windows folder.

I mean to organize from in the start > Programs Folder
I want to put like all the audio/video programs in a folder called Multimedia or all utilities i.e. advanced config or kaiser tweak into a folder called Utilities.
Ive seen these types of folders on other Roms i've flashed and would just like to organize this one similar to those.

Just go to \Windows\Start menu\Programs, create folders and cut/paste the shortcuts, it's like any Windows.

wow, this thread is really quite... maybe everybody is flocking around the new diamond. well, i find this rom stable and ok for my everyday use. I've use several other rom but i have problem with japanese keyboard (lingvosoft), but i didn't have problem with this rom. maybe some software didn't play well with the keyboard.
Well, it feels like the very first experience with kaiser when using this rom as all about it is stock rom..

cleaning it up a little
Thanks for the clean stock ROM. I like its performance and love the fact that there isn't a ton of stuff added. I've cooked my ROM's using Alex's kitchen in the past and like mine to be even cleaner. Is there any way to remove some of the installed programs? I'd be interested in removing the following:
- sliding sounds
- voice dial
- task manager
- windows update
- apptodate
- messenger
- remote desktop
- windows live

you mean something like this
just go with file explorer(or resco explorer) or any other explorer you use
to
windows/start_menu/programs
and make new folders,named as u want ant cut/past your shortcuts into them

Just to further clarify, this ROM is based off of HTC's (soon to be released) updated Kaiser ROM discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390748?

yea thats exactly what i wanted. thanks guys

Ok, I'm having a problem with this ROM.
If I stilling SPB PocketPlus I start experiencing lock ups on boot (just as the today screen loads) or cyclic rebooting of the device (ie it just boots, then reboots itself repeatedly).
I "think" I also experienced similiar issues with just SPB Mobile Shell 2 as well.
I say "think" because I havnt done any definitive testing, but I've hard reset my device bloody loads today and I can't bring myself to go throught it again!!
If anyone has experienced similiar issues it would be great ot hear what you did to fix it, or if indeed it is even fixable!!
Cheers.
Syphon
EDIT:
I'm having some weird issues with this ROM, today I found my device sitting there just flashing the screen backlight on and off. I have also experienced the backlight turning off at weird times. It's not as if the power settings just timed out and the screen turned off, it seems to happen randomly (in that it doesnt always happen) but it happens when I press a button or a key. Very strange.
If anyone knows what could be causing this any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
PS.
In the meantime I am going to give the latest official HTC rom a shot, failing that I will fall back to the previous TLR release (which worked ok on my device IIRC).
EDIT:
Doesnt look like I'll be rolling back as the previous TLR ROM is not on the XDA FTP or on his FTP!! D'oh.

Flash Lite 3.1 & Internet Explorer?

Yes I have searched, however the results seem to be conflicting.
I have integrated into my ROM IE 6.0 as well as a Flash Lite 3.1 OEM package I found that I thought had the required ActiveX files and settings that would allow Flash support in Internet Explorer. After trying to view various sites with Flash in them it appears it doesn't work (you just get the banner 'This site requires Flash, click here to download' or something similar).
Now I have spent the last hour or so searching on here and via Google and can't seem to work out if this is actually possible. Some posts I have found seem to say it is possible with Opera but not IE, others say it isn't possible with either and others seem to say with the required ActiveX plugins it should work with IE 6.0?
Does anyone have any definitave answers?
Andy

In Sakajati's HyperDragon IV ROM, the Flash Lite 3.1 ActiveX Player plugin works perfectly with both PIE8.12 & old PIE for WM6. It is a rumor that FL3.1 does not work with pie. The FL3.1 he used is 9.1.115.134. Edit: Try google 'official fliash lite 3.1 cab', you can find this build, a 2MB cab.
Edit: There are two layer's function of FL, HDIV ROM works on both of them, (for both pie & opera, in both FL3.1 cooked-in & seperately installed cases):
Layer 1: .swf files, e.g. www.cnet.com
Layer 2: Stream video like .flv on www.youtube.com
In many cases ppl say it does not work means it only does not work with layer 2. Many reason can cause this. Mostly is RAM issue, coz FL3.1 is a RAM intensive app, check HKLM > Software > Adobe > Flash Lite ActiveX > Memory Settings > Dynamic Memory (in MB), on default it was set to 32 MB. I doubt that if RAM not enought FL does not even launch layer 2.
Beside this there's some hardware driver (like D3D & OpenGL) and also software crash issue may also involved in the performance or functionality of FL3.1.
I'll attatch some screenshots later on.
If everything setting well (like in HDIV ROMs), the YouTube playback quality should be as same as the standalone player, at least I can not tell the difference from my eyes.
Edit: On HDIV Rhodium ROM for example, I don't need to do anything to ensure the playback quality for PIE. But I need to release memory for Opera to playing same quality (like disable m2d, large start menu, shutdown animation, etc.) I think it is because Opera Mobile 9.7b1 itself consumes about 9MB RAM, while PIE8.12 only around 1 MB, the ram needed for FL to play the same .flv is same on PIE & Opera.

I have the IE 6 OEM integrated into my ROM as well as the Juggalo Official Flash 3.1 OEM and I don't think any Flash sites are working in my ROM. I didn't think that IE 8 Mobile was 'real'?
Can you post some URLs with Flash content that you know work with the ROM you are running?

www.cnet.com (the main picture on middle of upper part of the home page.)
flash.tom.com
on this page, there are two embedded youtube videos:

I read that, FL3.1 only works with flash8 & minus, if the flash content is flash9, it does not work anyway.
And even for Flash 8,7, or lower, it still can not play back everything. But it plays most .swf and most popular .flv.
Some screenshots here.Most 9f them for Opera, but you can find several for PIE.

No, not happening with any of them
If I go here:
http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/788572
I eventually get a box where the Flash animation should be (compared to what I can see via the browser on my PC) and if I press and hold where the outline of the box is I see a popup menu that says 'About Flashlite 3.1 ActiveX Player' but I never get the animation to display. If I click 'About...' it says 'Player Version: 9,1,115,134'

What D3D/OpenGL driver are you using?

I am using the Samsung Omnia D3D Driver as this worked much better with the various D3D sample applications than the HTC Class Action one. I also have gfxboost in the ROM, however disabling gfxboost gets the same results.

The ROM I used also use Samsung Ominia driver, see also Samsung Ominia Goodies.
I did notice that on WM6.5 ROM, the gpxbooster crashes with flash.(Not tested on other ROMs yet)
Think you have someway to test the D3D driver work or not.
Then install the official FL3.1 distributable player to see does it works to play with local .swf files. (Need to use total commander to associate .swf with the exe)
Install of the distributable player also helps the plugin to work in some cases, & the distributable player itself works (at least as a plugin for .swf).
If it works then the problem is association between plugin and PIE.
If it does not work, you still need to sort it out what is crashed with FL.
In my experience PIE is much easier to work with FL3.1 than Opera.
Edit: BTW suggest to take out everything related to D3D, graphics enhancement, & flash plugin from your ROM. And then easier to test them, bcz all of them works if you install cab & you don't need to reflash the ROM again & again.
In otherways you build a 'naked' ROM, after flashed the ROM first install FL see deoes it work with PIE. If works then install your apps one by one & see which one crashes.
Another thing is that the official Flash7 Player (flash.dll) should also work with PIE.

Any further progress & can you share further information here?
Edit: Avother point is in PIE maybe you need to set in options to let the website know that you are using PIE & not a desktop IE, otherwise the site will ask to install the flash player for desktop. You can still use the 'desktop view' to 'view full versions' after did so.

Do you have local .swf files to test on the StandAlone player? If not find some here:
http://www.leconcombre.com/board/dl/us/downloadflas0us.html
Just click on the .swf file after download to the phone. If it's not associated withe player, can use Total Commander ( http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab ) or TaskMgr.exe ( http://www.dotfred.net/TM/TaskMgrv3.1_WM2005.zip ) to associate them with the exe found in the distributable player install folder.

If I associate .swf files with "\Program Files\Adabe\FlashLite\appzone.exe" then .swf files will play (or at least a couple of the ones from the link you posted will). .flv files don't play though.

What if you install Opera Mobile 9.7B1?
See the on site .swf work with Opera or not.
Follow the procedure in this post if you have trouble running Opera.
Edit: BTW, please check in your Windows folder do you have a file named IEActiveX.dll.(probably it is a hidden/system file)

IEActivex.dll is in the Windows folder - it was included as part of the Flash Lite 3.1 OEM package. As for installing Opera this isn't going to happen I need (want?) to get this working with IE

Just for probs sorting. If it works on Opera, the problem maybe the association between FL & IE. If it does not even work on Opera, it maybe something conflicts with FL3.1.

And what if you use DotFred's TaskMgr to register that dll file (IEActiveX.dll), and soft reset?

Well I can not figure out more suggestion now. It's whether the OEM package has some shortcomings, or you have something conflict with Flash Lite.
But definitely, Flash Lite 3.1 shall work with both PIE & Opera Mobile. Check here.

Thanks for your efforts so far. I will continue to pursue this as I would like Flash working with IE in my ROM, however it isn't a priority. I'd like to hear from any other chefs that have integrated Flash Lite 3.1 & IE 6.0 into their ROMs and what they had to do to get it working. I am not doing anything that clever in my ROM - just a dump of the official 5.2.19212 WWE ROM and then some re-heating - IE 6.0 included, various updates to OEM stuff and that's really about it.

Update internet explorer mobile?

First an foremost id like to complement all XDA-Dev staff for making such a helpfull forum.
next:
Im making a internet explorer mobile bizzness aplication for an industrial PDA
the motorola MC9090 with barcode integrated.
I allready made the aplication but tested it in a updated version of internet explorer.
My Q is: how can I update these 10 motorola machines with a newer updated version of internet explorer mobile without updating the whole windows mobile?!
Thankz in advance

never heard of any pocketpc inrom program like ie or wmp being updated by a cab

The easy way will just be to upgrade the roms, but you probably don't want to do that. I'm assuming they all have PIE 5. The newer versions of PIE are getting better (the initial PIE 6 betas were pretty bad, imo), but they're still quite beta in nature. I don't think you can use these, though, as they are built around WM 6.5. I suppose you could download a 6.1 kitchen with PIE 6 in it, then rec'mod (or whatever it's called) all of the PIE modules and make a cab file. I'm not sure it would work (pretty sure I couldn't get it to work, but someone else might be able to do it).
Long story short, it will be hard without flashing, and given that the new PIE's for 6.1 suck, I'm not sure it's worth it. I'd just go for a different browser, if you can use it. Check Meinnesys's browser review for a ton of info (he'll also say that PIE6 is crap, as I remember).

hmmmm maybe other browser then.
Yes that maybe right, Farmer Ted.
But, I've been searching and probably I will go for an opera browser or fennec.
This is a huge setback for development and if I use a proper browser the development time will be much shortened i just hope boss understands this.
Because he is pushing us to do it for pie. which makes no sense at as it is just a huge load of crap.
By the way is there a mobile browser that you recommend i take a look before deciding on opera or fennec?
Thanks for the reply and take care.

I personally use opera mini 4.2 v8 version. It's crazy fast, but may be too lite for business. Check out Iris, it's basically like PIE, but better.
I've never used Fennec, but from what I've read, it's very alpha. I'd suggest avoiding it for now.
Opera Mini and Skyfire both do their rendering on a proxy server, which makes them fast. I guess that security is lower in that scenario (although you can change the server in opera mini). They might be nice, though, for business because you could set up a single user account for all the devices, and if needed you could set up a library of bookmarks that everyone could access.
Iris is nice because it uses PIE's cookies (only browser I've found that does this), and it can import PIE bookmarks. You can set the Iris cache to the storage card as well in settings. (You can also do this with PIE, but it requires registry edits).
UCWEB6 is also fast (a little slower than opera mini), and you can import PIE bookmarks with it. It is also a light, mobile browser, and it does the rendering on your device, so I guess it's more secure than mini if less quick (in my experience).
I've been using Opera Beta 9.7 some recently. It is quite nice, and fits my tastes. I like browsers that quickly render pages in a single column. You can set it to do this, and it does so reliably. I don't care for the normal Opera, which renders pages beautifully like you see them on a desktop, but you have to futz around a ton to get it so you can read what's on there. This is all down to tastes, though, and a lot of people don't like the mobile-view. The beta version will work fine for you as long as you don't enable the 'Turbo' mode. Turbo mode is very beta, and it doesn't store cookies (or history, I believe). It's basically the same as Opera Mini, anyway, but not quite as fast.
If you find that none of the alternate browsers are suitable, I'd suggest making some registry tweaks to PIE to improve it. In particular, move the cache to the sd card, and also increase the # of connections or threads or whatever they call it-the tweaks are available in sk tools. Just max out all of them, and see if things work better.

Here is a cab that re-routes your cache to the storage card (it must be called storage card and not 'sd card'). It also sets the default download location to the sd card, increases the max connections per server to 8 and has a tweak to increase download rate. These are the actual keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"History"="\\Storage Card\\Temporary Internet Files\\History"
"Cookies"="\\Storage Card\\Temporary Internet Files\\Cookies"
"Cache"="\\Storage Card\\Temporary Internet Files\\Temporary Internet Files"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Default storage location]
"All Files"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\My Downloads"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"ReadAllBytesThreshhold"=dword:00000400
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000008
You can also increase the cache size; here is the setting for 20,480 MB. For some reason, it's not sticking on my fuze, so I didn't include it in the cab:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content]
"CacheLimit"=dword:00005000
You need to soft reset after installing the cab. Oh, and I posted this with Iris (over my mobiler). It was kind of a pain in the butt, but do-able.
Edit: What the heck, the second cab increases the cache to 20 MB. Only install if you have the cache on the storage card. And soft reset after installing.

Web browser woes... I need some help.

Alright... Here's the low-down. I'm using an AT&T Fuze with the updated official ROM. I am having more problems with web browsing than I ever had with my old device...
Opera Mobile: Randomly refuses to load images. I just get the empty box that says 'image' at the top. Reloading does nothing and the context menu doesn't appear. And when images DO load and I want to save them, I'm forced to save them in a folder on the root of either my device or storage card (i.e.: "/storage card/temp" but not "/storage card/temp/images") and am forced to go in later and organize the files into the correct sub-folders. Plus, I can't set the default save location to the storage card, so I have to change THAT every time I try to save an image, too.
Opera Mini: With the stock Esmertec Jbed, Opera Mini isn't allowed to save or read files from my device. Way to go, AT&T. We appreciate you trying to protect people from themselves, but you guys suck. I tried downloading another version of Esmertec Jbed from the forum here and OM is able to save images, but half the time they don't display fully (I get the blank squares that OM likes to use as place-holders while it loads the image). That, and OM locks up with that modified Jbed...
Skyfire: Promising, but why can't I disable javascript? I keep getting popups that are obstructing the screen and I can't get rid of. That, and it seems to be overly sensitive to screen taps. ("No, I didn't click on that! Go back! GAH! Stupid popups!")
IE: Well, it shows images that Opera Mobile refuses to, it lets me save those images when Opera Mini won't even think about it and, as opposed to Skyfire, it gives me no option to ENABLE javascript. It does, however, throw up all over itself if you try to view a page that wasn't designed for a mobile browser. Sometimes it even locks up as a result...
Which brings me to my question for you fine folks. Can anyone offer a solution or fix for ANY of the above problems? Any one of these browsers would be fantastic, if not for its crippling flaw. I've read a little on this NetFront browser, but I don't know how I feel about PAYING for yet another browser.
Oh, and MiniMo/Fennec drags my device to a crawl, so that's no good...

You could try Iris Browser: no flash support but it a good browser.
D'rath
PS: FEnnec is an alpha version

Thanks, D'rath! Iris works WONDERFULLY! All the nice things that Opera offers (tabs, 'flick' scrolling, accelerometer screen tilt) and it actually displays the images I ask for!

Temporarily set IE as default browser

I'm using this medical program UpToDate a lot at work, but it only works well if IE is my default browser. But, except for this, I prefer to use Opera.
Can someone please make a script/program to temporarily set IE as def. browser? What I'm thinking of is a Mortscript which, if started,
- first sets IE as default,
- then runs UpToDate,
- if UpToDate exits: set Opera as default browser.
Would this, or another solution be possible? Can someone help me with this, I have no experience in programming.
To be clear, UpToDate is working for me (it's not the problem with a white screen you find elsewhere on this forum), but if I open an article for the second time in one session, it open in Opera, and links cannot be clicked anymore. Others are having this problem as well.

BUMP?
Can someone help me with a short script to temp set IE as standard browser and upon exit set Opera back as default?
Thanks

I`m also looking for this ...
Cheers~

There is a thread on which several solutions are posted..... a quick way to do this is go to internet explorer, under tools option other select tell me if IE is not default browser....., then exit ie, then lauch again ie, you should see a windows that says IE is not the default browse.....would you like it to be?... or something like that, select yes and the fire up uptodate..... in a second I will post the link to the thread with other automatic solutions....
Anyway, there is a problem about scrolling in uptodate, but there is also a solution, FStouchl.... If you know mortscript, could you write a mortscript that launches fstouchl when uptodate is lauched and close it when it closes? thanks...
link to the thread, here you go....

anyhow, I am on dutty's HG1.7 21898 and I do not need to use any kind of hacks to run uptodate, not even selct ie as default, only fstouchl .... just my 2 cents.

Thanks for replies.
The fix you gave is functional if UTD is not working at all (white screen bug). UpToDate is running well for me, but there is aother small bug if I open an article for the second time in one session, it opens in Opera. This can be solved by making IE one's def. browser. So I was looking for a script to temporary do this.
Do you experience this bug as well?

It's not a major task, so I'll write you an application to do it. I'll have a play around and try and get something together for you this afternoon. Just one thing - what's the UpToDate exe called?

OK thanks. The UpToDate exe is named UpToDatePPC50.exe, and for me it is located in \Storage Card\Program Files\UpToDate.
Could you please make it revert back to Opera as default browser upon exit of UpToDate?

Basically, you'll need to rename the current UpToDate exe to something else (not decided yet) and I'll call this application UpToDatePPC50.exe. That way, your shortcuts will run this application instead. It will read the default browser (in case you ever change it to something else) and then set it to be IE. Then it will run the program and finally revert your default browser to the original when you exit.
It's pretty straight-forward, but I'll PM you with a link when it's ready for you to test. Once you're happy, I'll attach it to this thread as a zip. Hopefully, I'll get something to you later today

This has actually turned out to be a much bigger job than expected. When I first saw this I was under the impression that the default browser was identified by 1 registry key. Unfortunately, that's not the case. There's a LOT of registry keys that are affected by your choice of default browser.
I'll still do this, but it won't be soon as I already have some major projects underway. All I can suggest is subscribing to this thread so you get an update when I've done something.

Johncmolyneux , I hope that you will not forget about this !

I now use the Mortscripts that are available for this for using UpToDate, they work fine, and only one extra tap is needed. You will find them if you search this forum for UpToDate.

I`ve did but no luck .. Maybe I`m missing something . Could you be more precise ?
Cheers~

I'm glad you found a way to do this. I've just not had the time to even look into it, so it's a relief to me that you've got it sorted. Nice one mate

To clear things up: we are talking about the "white screen issue"* here, not about a license issues or things like that.
There are several solutions here on XDA for the white screen problem. I've tried them all, and now it is working. I'm not complete sure which one solved it for me though .
I'm almost sure this worked for me:
2: Install dr. Tom's UptoDate fix (which is a .cab.).
3: After that install Mortscript 4.2, also a .cab (to be able to run the scripts)
4: Download the two scripts and place them on your device. (one for uptodate and one for internet explorer)
5: Open the uptodate script in a text editor and check if directs to the correct location of the uptodate executable (depending on if you installed uptodate on your device or storage card). Modify and save if necessary.
6: Run the uptodate script to start upto date. Run the IE-script to start IE. You will notice IE does not work after running the UTD script, untill you run the IE script again. And vice versa.
Good luck!
