The Touch Pro aka Raphael is my first Windows Mobile device. The first time i got it running, i freaked out because I was expecting a fast and responsive phone. It was unbearably slow and it made me regret buying this expensive phone. Searching the net led me to xda-developers and I was able to make my windows mobile better.
The thing is, info on various stuff on the forums tend to be spread out and getting to figure out what I wanted to do took hours of my time searching and asking questions on the forums. So I decided to put up simple steps in one place and in one thread on the first things you would want to do when you get your Raphael.
INSTALLING PROGRAMS
I figured people who get their first windows mobile phone will probably not know how to INSTALL programs into it. there are two file types that programs usually come in with. there are the .EXE and the .CAB files.
.EXE files are run from the computer and the application will be installed to your phone the next time you SYNC it.
.CAB files, on the other hand, require to be imported to your phone. Connect your phone to your PC via USB, and copy the .CAB to the phone's memory. Run the pasted file on your phone using the built-in file explorer and follow the on-screen instructions.
1. Tweaking the Registry
You might want to tweak the registry of your stock ROM first to see if there are any improvements. here is the link to various Raphael tweaks tested by rhedgehog: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413562
To edit these registries, you will need a registry editor. There are a lot of registry editors available but I personally use Kilmist Registry Editor. Its free and works from the phone. Here is the link: http://www.brothersoft.com/kilmist-registry-editor-download-80725.html
1. Install the .cab to your phone
2. Run the registry editor
3. To tweak the registries, follow the path names as would with folder paths.
Here is another registry tweak that was said to work great http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432966
If you still aren't satisfied with the performance, I suggest flashing in a new ROM. Follow the steps below.
2. Flash in a new ROM - for GSM versions only
First thing you would want to do would be to flash its ROM. Flashing, as i figured out was a way to re-format your Poket PC much like a personal computer. There are a lot of ROMS available on this site made by generous people who give their time to making windows mobile a more pleasurable experience.
Here are the steps to be able to Flash your ROM:
1. Download the Hard-SPL made by the Raphael Elite Team. You should just follow the instructions on their thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
2. Choose the ROM you would like to flash and download it. There are a number of choices. Here are a couple i have tried:
a. ROMeOS² - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426099
b. DCS-Touch Pro - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421609
You should choose a ROM that suits your preferences and, of course, language. Most of the ROMS are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=440
3. Run the downloaded ROM from your computer and follow the instructions.
Now, you should have a faster ROM build than your stock one. SOme say the stock is fine but others, like me, have definitely gained big improvements. They have extra useful programs too.
When you have a usable OS running, the next thing you would probably want to do is change its theme. I see a lot of people asking questions on how to change icons, themes, touchflo3d, etc. and, like me, I hadn't the slightest idea on how to do it. I finally figured out how and here are the simple steps.
3. Changing Theme of Windows
To change the theme (not the TouchFlo 3d theme but the color of the title bars and all), you would want to go to: START > SETTINGS > TODAY
You will find that there are a few themes included with the phone and if you ever want some more, here is a thread where you can download quiet a few themes: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_USER_THEMES
To get the theme to your phone, just copy the downloaded files to the Root of your Storage Card and you will be able to see them in the TODAY settings.
4. Changing the Theme of TouchFlo3d
To change the theme for TouchFlo3d you will need to use Diamond TouchFlo3d config made by sushilange. Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
What you do is import the .CAB to your device and run it through there.
Here is a link to themes made by sushilange as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
Just import the theme to your phone, run Diamond TF3D config > Appearance, then select the fold where the theme is located. The theme will then appear on the drop down menu.
To add a wallpaper to TF3D, on the other hand, just scroll over the the settings part of TF3D and select wallpaper.
SOME themes do not require Diamond TF3D config. Some are downloaded as zip files wherein you EXTRACT them, and copy all the files included to the WINDOWS folder of you phone using Total Commander. The link to Total Commander is found in the next section.
If you want to revert back to your original HTC theme, you can always use Diamond TF3D config to revert back to your original files.
5. Changing the icons only of TF3D
Changing the icons is simple but you would need a program like Total Commander to access and paste files on the Windows folder of your phone. ROMeOS² already has Total Commander built into it but for those who don't have it yet, here is a link: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
The touch pro uses an ARM processor so choose that as your file
1. download an icon pack
2. unzip it (if it is zipped and not in a CAB)
3. transfer the contents to your phone (preferably in a folder somewhere)
4. copy the contents using Total Commander and paste it in \Windows folder
5. soft reset the device
I dont know if this works with a changed TF3D theme. I haven't tried it yet. I've only tried it on the stock theme.
I dont have links to icons as well, ive only used the HTC 3d icons found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421317 and posted by Blob8me
6. Changing the clock
Here is a link to Sergio PC's thread from the Diamond section on the clocks he's got: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420887
there are instructions there so just follow that. and yes, this works on the Touch Pro
7. Adding a Call History Tab to TouchFlo 3d
This modification helped me a lot. It puts your call history in a separate tab. Here is the link to the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410180
So there you have it. I am a newbie myself so to the experts out there, if there are any improvements i can make to this, please tell me.
hope this helps!
this is the way my touch pro looks after all these steps:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
maybe this can be a sticky to at least minimize people asking over and over how to do this and that, and veterans always having to suggest "search" for the answer.
VERY usefull.....just wat we needed...

Well done mate! keep up the good work...I'll support ya wherever I can....
Btw.. a dutch guy made a tweak program to easily apply the most tweaks...
The tweaks are..(quote of what he said), I transalated the text to english:
As some people know, the pro has a virtual memory...this comes standard @ 3MB..with this tool you can tweak it to 8 mb.
the tweak adds 4 camera modes.
also apply's 4 icons in a row..
if a tweak has to be performed yet, it is marked in red..
- TFL3d Performance 1 = Cache Size
- TFL3d Performance 2 = Cache Size Enabled
- TFL3d Performance 3 = Speed High
- TFL3d Performance 4 = Speed Low
- TFL3d Performance 5 = Scroll speed
- TFL3d Performance 6 = Pressure on screen needed
- Camera Burst
- Camera Sport
- Camera Video Share
- Scroll bar 1 = Size of right scroll bar
- Scroll bar 2 = Size of down Scroll bar
- Scroll bar 3 = Icon Size
- Scroll bar 4 = Icon will be set to 4
- Scroll bar 5 = size of all scroll bars
you can download this cab @ http://downloads.itdev.nl/mobile/dtweaks.cab
Hope it helps...

INSTALL the Diamond TF3D config first. i guess you know how to install .CAB files? then look for it in the programs. run Diamond TF3D config, go to the "Appearance" tab, then select the folder where the theme is located. The theme will then appear on the drop down menu.

the wallpaper of the touchflo can be changed through the settings of touchflo itself.
go to the SETTINGS TAB of the touchflo, not the settings from the start menu, then click on WALLPAPER.
that should solve your problem.

i dont know the difference. i dont think there should be any difference between GSM and CDMA. in my opinion, i think it will still definitely work on either versions.

erm... slide your finger along the bottom part of touchflo, where the buttons are.. (like HOME, MESSAGES, PEOPLE, etc.) keep going and you should find one with the SETTINGS label...
i suggest exploring your phone first before doing anything i suggested in this post. that way, you would know what you are doing.

Uploaded a new keyboard. EZInput1.5 ENG/RUS
I finaly found it in 4pda.ru forum. After it worked so well I decided to make a package of it and scale down the gfx... then I updated dll's from a newer build... then I got rid of all nonsense in the reg... then I UPXed it... Then I set the registry to install all of the gfx to a separate folder in windows.
So I been busy this weekend.
The cab is on post3 atachments right after the UC folder. makes typing on the screen a breeze

Moved many files out of windows. they install By cabs.
These files would otherwise remain sitting useless in Windows directory.
Will be moving many more eventualy. results are noteworthy:
NEW: Flash Player 7 (not FlashLite) please test to see if it works right.
823kb = 0.8mb moved out of windows +113mb Related to home.
150 files that would otherwise be in windows
191 images related to HTCHome which would otherwise sit uselessly in Windows.
Windows folder loads in less than a second when set to NAME
Issues:
First boot is slow with the customizations. reason being that about 300+ files get copied to places that they need to go.
If the screen wants to go dark during the customization IT WILL TURN WHITE.
DON'T PANIC!!! just press the power button and it will resume.
Takes about as long as the origional 226 ext rom (LONG)
First boot has improved I believe. removed about 100 files out of windows (the so useless bitmaps that are already located in DLL's but reside in windows for no reason)
anyway, if the boot seems slow at first, let it go. once everything is loaded and the ram drops to about 28mb it will work fast and stable.
Today plugins are not enabled by default.
I will provide the blank extended rom ruu for those who may experience battery drainage after flashing any of the manila roms. (mine drained twice as fast) My battery lasted all day at work (12hrs) and only dropped to 93%

instead of making requests to cook programs such as GMaps;
Which gets updated too often
Manila Tabs:
1. Home: clock calendar...
2. People: set up your contacts (may have to press twice the first time)
3. Messages: SMS/MMS
4. Mail: E-mail. double tap the envelope to read/ use softkeys
5. Internet: Launch Opera Mini
6. Photos And Videos: slide pictures up/down launch Album Exe; pick favorite folder to display in today screen
7. Weather: add multiple weather locations/Softkey menu takes you to settings
8. Maps Search: lets you search using Gmaps and saves your favorite places
9. Settings: settings shortcuts.
10. Programs: 24 programable buttons to launch programs (dont think anyone has that many in their wizards )
THIS IS A BETA TEST. SOME THINGS MAY NOT WORK AND i JUST HAVE NOT NOTICED...
with that in mind, I have not made this thing pretty
Compressed a lot of the graphics and executables (Especialy in the manila package)
There is no audio manager
There is no HTC Task Manager... Quickmenu should take care of your task closing and hibernating
Where to find your favorite programs in QuickMenu 2.7:
Programs:
Album;BTExplorer; camera; FExplorerEXT; PIE; Opera Mini; Pictures & Videos; Task Manager(MS); Windows Media;
Accessories:
M2DC; Midlet Manager; MP3Trimmer; RC Mod;

Connections:

Please alow the customizations to finish.
I know they take long; but the first boot is the price You have to pay for an emptier Windows folder.
Also, In beta 2; the HTCHome.xml is loaded via the ManilaGFX.cab. So if you do not alow it to install, MANILA WILL NOT WORK!
I do not recomend installing any cabs that run in windows, or any cabs that you can not uninstall.
I do not recomend (personal opinion) to install audio manager to run in Manila. it eats up 2mb of ram
If you must install a Theme for manila, make sure it comes with it's own HTCHome Settings XML. even though my theme is based off of the standard skin, it is mostly PNG's and thus incompatable with the standard set of graphics without editing the XML.
Please note that when you start programing your contact, weather, and programs tabs, you will have to tap twice. this only happens the first time. (should)

downloading now looks good, how much ram does it have
Looks nice! It isn't that difficult to become a chef
can we have some screenshots?
I installed, seems to work fast and stable.
First one silly question:
How could I change the yellow/black background of the today screen?
It remains even if I change the today theme ....

Yup! That's something to take out of your next release, as it is no dice, good effort but ugly as sin
looks good...can't wait to try it
Can't run pocket e-sword on this (acutally SQLCE 2.0 installs, but is probably overidden by another version already installed on this ROM... same problem happens in the latest TNT ROM which has a later version of SQLCE installed). I think the culprit is the SQL Server Compact installed (used by Query Analyzer).
Nice otherwise though.
BTW your ROM doesn't have the newer colored Edge Icon and Signal Strength that other 2073 ROMs have
After few softreset the function button in the today screen at the bottom ( calendar, contacts by default) disappeared . The same was with the TNT ROM
Nice man!
IM GLAD TO SEE YOU STILL COOKING!!!! BRIGHTROM WAS A COOL ROM, I CANT WAIT TO REFLASH THIS BASED ON TNT'S, JUST FOR THE HOBBIE YOU KNOW! HAHAHA NICE TO SEE YOU CONTINUE THE NEW BUILDINGS COOK, WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH FOR POST ISSUES AND FIXES.
I HOPE IT DOESNTSUCKS MY BATT LIKE THE OTHER ONE.
OUPS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH "MUTATION" AND "DLL" DOES WE NEED TO COPÝ DLL'S OR JUST INFO TO WATCH CHANGES ON THIS PROGRAMS... LIKE TOUCHFLO SCROLL?
DOWNLOADING...
Fired up my Wizard for this.... I have one problem, I can't get my today screen to show 12 hour format. I changed it in Regional to h:mm:ss, went into the registry and messed with the nls overrides and put in
nls\overrides" , " S2359" , " PM"
nls\overrides" , " S1159" , " AM"
With my hermes that seemed to work but I cannot get it give me a 12 hour time format
I had to add this in the nls overide
STFmt" , " h:mm:ss tt...as the tt is for am/pm
Themes: download any tsk theme and it should change it. I'm sorry that you did not like the theme. It is only about the 25th revision. I guess I have to work more on it.
Not sure about the sqlce. I will switch it with another next time next time to see if that fixes the problem for you. I dont use it.
I have had quite a bit of soft resets to try out the problem of disappearing softkey buttons. did not have that.
I did have a problem with disappearing shortcuts when I unpluged the device from the computer immediately after flashing/ before I finished setup. that may be the problem. try reflashing and do not disconnect untill you are done with setup/first activesync pairing.
about the colored icons in the top bar: I tried to take appart the reasources for that particular dll to see the contents, and I saw the colored ones included. so it may be just areg setting. I will look into it.
That is all for now.
cant cook for about a week.
can you have some pic???

Do not download this rom until you read the FAQ!
I will not provide any kind of stuff for stuff already covered within the FAQ.
I'm not trying to be rude, but a lot of people are not reading the FAQ before downloading and flashing my roms.
If you have an issue which is not covered by the FAQ, then I will be more than happy to help you as much as I can.

Mirror - by tiksister - rapidshare
How-To Flash the HERALD-USPL-beta3:
Download and extract both files.
Place the extracted OTP v7.1.nbh into the Herald-uspl-beta3/RUU folder.
Move the entire Herald-uspl-beta3 folder to the root of the c:\.
Follow the simple readme file.
Break down of how to flash this rom:
Then follow these steps:
II. How do I flash an NBH file?
a. USPL
Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO
Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.
Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

With random access you must do the following to enable contact scrolling.
Click on the contacts button at the lower right hand side of the screen.

==========================
M2DC
Just tried the M2DC theme manager on 7.3 Std, with a renamed .zip file to .m2dct file (specifically the KnobiSkin from the M2D skin thread).
First time, it locked up. M2DC continued with spinning icon until I forced a reboot. Touchflo was off after reboot, and after enabling it everything appeared to be the same.
Second attempt, I disabled Touchflo from today before applying the new theme. Got the "Applying Theme" prompt. After M2DC closed, I reactivated touchflow and new theme was applied.
Simple instruction for use of M2DC Themes on OTP 7.3:
Find a skin you like, download the zip file (not the cab),
Rename file to .m2dct,
Copy new file to the themes directory of the M2DC install directory,
Disable touchflo in Today settings
Start M2DC,
Go to themes tab (the first time it will back up the default theme),
Click the new theme then apply,
Restart touchflo.
Alternate for creating themes from skin CABs:
Run M2DC first, let it make the DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct file, Close M2DC.
Run the CAB skin of choice.
Rename DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct to OriginalTheme.m2dct (or anything else with same extension).
Rerun M2DC. It will detect no DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct and will ask to back up again. Let it make new backup. Close M2DC.
Rename new file to the name of the new theme.
Repeat for each skin CAB you wish to convert to m2dc theme file.
Note: The M2DCT files can be large (over 3Mb, 660 files backed up). Best to do this only if M2DC is installed on a large Storage card.
Note 2: Several times M2DC appeared to freeze when applying or backing up themes. It looks like it has problems if touchflo is not off prior to running. It does try to deactivate touchFlo then reactivate when done, but it doesn't appear to work flawlessly yet. It is better to deactivate the Today plugin before running M2DC on this ROM build.
Note 3: New mods to theme support in M2DC released today (Sept 30)

Well, when you test this rom you will have a lot more space left over.
Lets say around 25MB+.
Once I strip it down more I hope to have it working with something close to 30MB or more.
Oh, I forgot to say that you will still have the standard programs but not as many as on the biggy.
teasing me are you?
well i cant wait. sounds great already. just cuz 30mb free.

The rom I cooked today has 33MB storage and 25MB of programs.
But I just ran into some minor issues with the build during my use today.
Over all the rom is working great and the interface is not that slow either.
i just wish our wings had more ram and rom...and a faster processor

It's funny but I like the wing better than my bros tilt.
There are less issues in my mind, but then that just me.
Not saying that the tilt is a bad phone, I just like the wing better.
As for the memory its plenty for the omnia interface.
true.
from what i read, the tilt has so many issues that im just going to save up for a samsung omnia.
need me to skin omnia-like?
wow looks cool
can't wait to see this rom!! I like the interface. Looks like it has almost a Vista feel to it. If you need a beta tester, I will be happy to try it out.
Keep up the good work!!!!!

Update 1/13/2009
Folks,
I know I said that I would be back on 1/2/2009, but due to hard times in my life that will not be possible.
I'm going through very hard times in my life rite now and rom cooking has to come in second place for now.
The few months off from rom cooking did make me realize the most important things in my life.
I love cooking roms since I feel that my roms some how or another make a difference in peoples lives.
That means a lot to me but then again it's just a hobby and I have a real job and life that I must take care of first.
I've fallen behind on my tech certs in the past year since my mind and time was spent on cooking roms instead of updating or obtaining new certs.
Now I have to spend the next six months trying to catch up on the things that I've missed or have fallend behind one.
This is not a good bye, but a delay, I will be back once I've completed my CSSP.
===========================
Folks,
I no longer own a wing/herald but will continue my work until this version has been completed and all major bugs have been resolved.
To be on the safe side, please make sure your device is HARD-SPL before flashing any of my upcoming upates.
The FAQ will cover how to Flash, HARD-SPL and etc your device.
Thanks again for your support,
=======================
I'm currently on vaction and plan to come back after 01/02/2008.
Hang tight folks, I did not forget about you, just taking some time off.
Please continue to help each other out in the mean time.
Happy Thanks Giving, Merry Christmas and New Years in advance..

You don't want touchflo?

There is a lite version without 2D and it's in the mirror folder provided by coburn_c.

input as to which method of installation is easiest??? anyone???
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just search for the cab and install it.
I did not include it since there are many people that wanted to install their own stuff.
A lot of older apps due not support NETCF 3.5 and thats the main reason I did not include it so they can install NETCF 2.0.
I hope that answers your question.
Please remember that its very hard for me to make everybody happy.
Thats the main reason I cooked so many different versions.
I could have just cooked one version and left it at that.
Here you go bro: NETCF 3.5

I had to rename the thread so people will not get confused.
I'm still working on it today and hope to have at least one ready.
Please hang tight,
great job bro,

General Customization & Tweaks by Stylez post 3
what is Titanium Ultimate?
its an idea that drkfngthdragnlrd and i came up with to have most all plugins available on xda in the rom, and being able to change the titanium layout(cpr) to different styles with one click big thanks to drkfngthdragnlrd, he worked really hard on this...if you like it you should donate to him for helping me so he may want to do it more in the future. this has taken us awhile to put together, it may not be perfect let us know if you have any problems.
how do you use the new titanium cpr changer?
its simple, go to start menu\Utilities\ titanium cpr changer and open it. you will see a page with the different choices(like the screenshot below), just make your choice and click "ok"....no need to soft reset the theme will change without it
here are some screenshots of the different cprs that are available now, with the default blue/black theme from me. also drkfng has included a couple of his themes as well, will post screenshots of those later.

Q.I'm trying to add a new panel to your titanium theme using cHome editor. Never had any problems with any prior version of your product. It seems to be working absolutely fine. But when i exit cHome editor, it doesn't appear on the front screen. I can disable r enable existing panels, but not create new ones.
A.The custom chome that is in rom is from ibrythill wm7 project, if you want to add plugins you need to go check out his thread in dev-hack forum or you can disable wm7 with a cab in tpc_tweaks folder in my documents and will have default chome and can add whatever you like.
Ibrythill
Q.How can I get Manilla to work in landscape.
A.Manila dos not work completely in landscape. It is a known issue and M2D has been hacked the best it can be for now.
How to customize titanium weather radar for your area.
In v6.1 i updated the titanium weather to v4.2 which includes radar. i left out the urls because they are in my area so you can customize however you want. the information is stored in the registy, and you can edit it two ways.
HERE is where you find out how
Q.When you plugin exchange as your mail source, the icon turns from the little mail symbol to a big red circle with a white X.
A.Try adding a second email act., doesnt even have to be a real one i dont think and the red x will disappear. the icon is in brozeres.dll but for some reason it wont show all the time...its random and has always worked for me but for some this happens occasionally.
*For anyone desiring to add custom cities to the Manila Weather tab, here is how it is done.*
1. Download & make a copy of the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml HERE
2. Modify the file to include your info. See the examples below and/or just copy & modify some of the existing lines in the file:
Quote:
<city name="Idaho Falls, ID" loca="83406" land="United States"/>
<city name="Idaho Falls, ID, US" loca="NAM|US|ID|IDAHO-FALLS" land="United States"/>
3. Copy the (edited) HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml back to your device (your storage card or My Documents)
4. Disable TouchFlo in your Today Screen settings (I don't believe this is necessary)
5. Using TotalCommander copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file into the Windows folder (if the file already exists, just overwrite it.)
6. Do a soft reset
7. Go to the Weather tab and select the city that you added, refresh, & enjoy.

Thanks to pjcforpres for these great tips
For those of you with batter drain issues, there are many things you can do to improve it besides Hard SPL and Radio...
1. Open up advanced configurator and turn on all the power saving options(They are all turned off)
2. Put it in stand by mode when you aren't using it
3. While talking about screen using up power, turn down the back light.
4. Avoid WiFi when running on your battery
5. Make sure you have properly conditioned the batter .
Q.What happened to the Loud volume?
A.HERE
Q. Does this rom have a 3G dialer?
A. No. You can find one HERE Thanks Go to Philux-X

WOW!!!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!! WM6.5 with the SUPER RAM and with M2D instead of CHOME (bleah!)
I can't WAIT to take a look at this!!!
You are the jam in my jelly roll!!!
Congratulations TPC
Just finished installing, the first part of installation completed even before I could finish my bowl of cereal when I disconnect my device from my PC. Only 39% of program memory in use 113.09MB storage space available on the device, looks very good so far, tell you guys more later.
Happy flashing
So far so good, flashed this morning when I got up, quiet time before the kids get up and go to school. Did my " Mr. Mom " stuff this morning, setting up in between. So far no hitches. Could not get my @live.com email working. All the settings were exactly the same as I have always used ( have it set up as a pop3 account ) but kept getting " error syncronizing " totally could not figure it out or get it to work. So I set up WiFi and tried it again, and all my email downloaded, no problem. Turned off wifi, and tried to retrieve using GPRS again and everything sync'd fine. Go figure.
All other tabs work fine music,internet,pictures,weather, except YouTube does not launch from the internet tab. Opera launches, this thread launches, but not YouTube.
Other than that, just one lazy stupid question that I am too lazy to figure out for myself , " how to switch to Chome ? "

go to settings/today/itemes and check windows default---this will uncheck tflo push ok and you will have it test it good and let me know what all you find, thanks
So far it's been working great. Was able to make a small donation, sorry it couldn't be more. Keep up the great work.
TPC:
(1) As I've told you before, love the ROM;
(2) Hate that darn Start icon ;
(3) The issue with the "All Programs" not being displayable after you open and close it from the last ROM still exists;
(4) Check your PayPal account. It should have gone up by a number 2 and a number 5. Enjoy and thanks for the ROM!
J
Thanks TPC,you rock.
thanks for the donations guys! well i think next release im going to leave all the taskbar icons stock, and let everybody use whichever ones they like not sure about the manilla programs tab, it always seems to work for me
very very nice. took about 5 mins in all to sort.
some menus are a little buggy. searching through contacts in phone menu seems to make all contacts black (as if all are selected).
other than this, nothing major.
nice additions in this recipe
thanks buddy
Small question/favor?
Is there anyway you can make a .cab that will enable 4 rows instead of 3 rows? I have alot of stuff installed and scrolling down for 10 seconds isn't fun lol. Also I am not a fan of M2D so I am using the default look of 6.5. When viewing the clock the soft tab has programs listed as the left one. Is there anyway to make a fix to where it will say contacts? I am used to always going there to look at contacts. Other than that everything else is working smoothly for me. Thank you for your hard work and keep up the good work!
I don't have any money to donate.. but I do have a dog I can put in a box and ship to you.. lol

PointROM v 2.0 Windows Mobile 6.1/PointUI 1.51a ROM - DOWNLOAD (LZX Version)
By Ace10134
Summary
The first T-Mobile Wing ROM with the original PointUI cooked in! If you loved the original PointUI (v 1.51a), then you'll love this ROM! It's got the amazing interface of PointUI, and some other enhancements to top it off!
How to Flash This ROM

20.64 MB Free RAM and 35.21 MB Free Storage Space on fresh install (LZX: 20.16 MB Free RAM and 45.19 MB Free Storage)
PointUI basically replaces the entire today screen! It acts as a Today Screen, Start Menu, CommManager, Lock Screen, Task Manager, Contacts List, Volume Control, and probably more!
Touch scrolling (not TouchFLO) - Very smooth scrolling through everything. And, PointUI has it's own scrolling, which is extremely smooth
Speedier than the default T-Mobile ROM
T-Zones Data Plan Hack is already set up (using epc.tmobile.com)
Threaded SMS
Doesn't automatically delete your CAB's upon installation
EzInput keyboard - Finger friendly keyboard
Finger friendly Volume controls - Both the PointUI volume controls AND the Windows Mobile volume controls are finger friendly!
When in PointUI, you can use your Volume slider to navigate. Slide up to return to a previous menu, and slide down to scroll down one

Microsoft Voice Command
Not Installed
Windows Live - For your Live e-mail, messenger, contacts sync, and profile status updater; Download free.
IM (That the default T-Mobile ROM had installed) - I recommend using Palringo IM, which is free and has multiple chat clients, including Facebook chat
Adobe Reader - Free Download
T-Zones - Who used it anyways???
Bugs
Office Mobile cannot be accessed through PointUI's program launcher. Go to a Windows Mobile window (like File Explorer), press your Start button (on the phone, not on the screen), and then click Office Mobile for now.
Found another bug? Tell me, please!

ToadLife - His kitchen is wonderful. A perfect starting point for my ROM. (He got the kitchen from Ivan, who got it from someone else, so thanks to everyone before ToadLife!)
Ivan - An awesome cook who wrote wonderful guides. He's always willing to help.
The Community - You guys all make this so much fun. Keep up the feedback! (good or bad feedback)

Wow, that sounds great! Oh, but will pointui have any skins or applets added in? Because whenever I installed it, I never completely liked how limited the default applets were.

Remember, this is PointUI v 1.51a
PointUI v 2 (pointui.com) is the one that has a bunch of skinning abilities and installable applets.
But, I included the "old" version since it's different, and I like it more. I was disapointed with the new "remodeled" version that they made (pointui v 2), so I went back to the old one.
Sooo....Answering your question...skinning is very limited with this. It is possible, but there aren't many skins out there, since no one is really developing for the old version. They all moved on to version 2, where skinning is easy.
And the applets, they also aren't customizable, I believe. I'm considering making a ROM with PointUI v 2 cooked in, and then you will get full skinning/applet control. Maybe you'd like that more. Tell me what you think!
No, you're right. The main reason why I preferred PointUI 1.5 to 2 is really the lockscreen applet. It was very stylish. For some reason, the lock applet is exclusive to the pro version of PointUI 2. Besides, 1.5 is probably lighter than 2. So 1.5 would be the better choice for memory.

Yea. I haven't looked at 2.0 for a while. And I don't like paying for things.
But, if you'd like to test this ROM, I'm uploading it to Skydrive right now...Slow connection, but it'll go up there soon.
Download link is up there now. Still a pre-release, but you can download and try it out. (.7z compressed, so use 7zip to extract!)

No
I tried it, but I couldn't get it to work. Then I figured I should just try to make a working Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM, modify it, and learn how the kitchen works. Heck, I've only been "cooking" for 3 days now. I gotta learn a lot, I think. And it's tough finding a really quality guide online.
About the PointROM...I created v 1.2 now. Just some minor changes (working on removing extra crap and theming the OS). The Skydrive uploads will see day of light on every .5 versions. So 1.5 will be the next up there (around tomorrow).
Can anyone create Windows Mobile theme files??? (.tsk) I need some help with that. If anyone could find or create a PointUI theme for the Windows Mobile part of the OS, then that would be awesome. I had no luck with it. I'm also working on skinning the dialer (I might include Phone Canvas) and also replacing all of the WinMo icons so that they match PointUI. If anyone could create the .tsk theme, that'd be great.

I tried it, but I couldn't get it to work. Then I figured I should just try to make a working Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM, modify it, and learn how the kitchen works. Heck, I've only been "cooking" for 3 days now. I gotta learn a lot, I think. And it's tough finding a really quality guide online.
About the PointROM...I created v 1.2 now. Just some minor changes (working on removing extra crap and theming the OS). The Skydrive uploads will see day of light on every .5 versions. So 1.5 will be the next up there (around tomorrow).
Can anyone create Windows Mobile theme files??? (.tsk) I need some help with that. If anyone could find or create a PointUI theme for the Windows Mobile part of the OS, then that would be awesome. I had no luck with it. I'm also working on skinning the dialer (I might include Phone Canvas) and also replacing all of the WinMo icons so that they match PointUI. If anyone could create the .tsk theme, that'd be great.

Sure, I could do it. I have a theme maker lying around here somewhere. Could you just give me the background graphic that pointUI uses? That way I could use that as a reference. Since it's a 6.1 theme, it won't have fancy transparencies or stuff that the 6.5 themes do, just a basic gradient at most. Also, downloading and flashing now. (though that seems a waste if you're going to post a new release tomorrow...)

Well the next release shouldn't be anything major. I make minor changes so that if anything goes wrong, I can change it.
And I couldn't really find the PointUI background anywhere. I say, just use the background color from the Applications menu inside PointUI. I have that color attached. It's a solid color. Then I guess the top and bottom bars should be a lighter blue than the attached file. That would look good. And you should make them the glossy bars, not those flat ones that lots of ROM's use now. Think you can do that? That would be awesome. I could cook you a special ROM version with some of your programs cooked in or something, if you'd like.
Oh, you know what, you should try to make the background image so that there's that little blue glowing bar at the bottom. You can see it in the attached image, right at the bottom.
So can you make that work as the background? It's a pretty simple image. And anyways, the Today screen won't ever really be seen, so it's no big deal. What I care more about are the WinMo Bars theme. Make those a nice PointUI-ish blue gloss color. Use your phone and screenshots as a reference. If you need more PointUI screenshots, I've got them all on my computer.
I look forward to seeing the theme!

LZX is no problem. The most trouble about an LZX version is uploading it...my connection is slowwww. But yea, I'll make LZX, how about on the 1.5 release?
All in all, a nice ROM, there's just the problem of it being nearly stock. Many of the nice things that make WinMo a joy to use (nice SIPs, finger-friendly enhancements, task managers) aren't there. Of course, this is just an alpha build, so I'm sure all of the improvements are on the way! (also, keeping voice command is a nice touch, especially since I got a new headset)

Finger-friendly enhancements - It's PointUI!! How more friendly could you get!! And then the soft menu's are a little larger than stock. Honestly, tell me what can be improved, and I'll work on it.
Task Manager - PointUI IS a task manager. From the home screen, click on Applications and then on Currently Running. There you can go into a running program and then close it (by tapping on the Start Menu while in the app, and then clicking Force Close. How would you like that improved? (I can't change anything inside PointUI, remember)
SIP (On-Screen Keyboard) - Yea, I know. It's the default WinMo one. I'll change it sometime, possibly. Recommend a keyboard for me to cook in, then.
Voice Command - I figured I'd keep that in, especially since that dam iPhone has it (and acted like they invented it, like they do with everything).
But it seems like you're liking it so far!! V 1.5 will be coming up soon, with more complete theming. V 2.0 might be more of a full release. Tell me what you think!
Just looked at your screenshots...You're not supposed to even use the old Today Screen!! The point is that it's a PointUI ROM! That's why I did nothing with the Start Menu's size, because you will never touch the Start Menu. But yea, I like that keyboard. Give me a link or name to the keyboard.
Love your site ace...wondering whats the free ram and storage on your new rom

About 22 MB Free RAM, and about 37 MB free Storage Space upon booting it up (with PointUI running).
After using the phone for a few hours (running Internet Explorer, etc), I closed all of the apps, and RAM was at about 18 MB. So, it holds up pretty well!
I'm not writing up everything about this ROM yet, since it's ever changing. Expect that storage space to increase as versions go.
And a ROM with SPB MOBILE SHEL 3.01, LIKE SONY ERICSON SXPERIA. The User flash if have a key bought or not.

Yea, I could cook in the Trial version, so that it's legal still. But for now, I'm making the PointROM real perfect.

PointUI freezes, right? That's not really "frozen", it's a bug in PointUI. When trying to scroll through a list (usually the Applications list), scrolling freezes, and no touches on the screen are registered. But, it still works by using your D-Pad. So, go up to the Return arrow with your D-Pad, and then your touchscreen will be working again.
