Is is it just me???! [BeastyLeo latest rom]

Hi BeastyLeo,
I just flashed the latest release and i'm having lots of trouble The rom looks great and i so badly want to use it, but dont knw if i'm jinxed or something :-/ Please help me!!!!
1. The incoming phone call graphics is all messed up. The caller's picture and the caller info gets rendered 20-30 pixels below the top of the notification box and the bottom section gets cut off...
2. All the applications running started to behave crazy after a while. WpTask was active, and this is what happened - The task icons used to appear on the top bar (for example Activesync's icon), but the text used to be missing. When i brought up the context menu by clicking and holding the task, the rollout menu didnt list the name of the task again! I had options like Close, Terminate (with no Task names next to it like it would normally appear), and I couldnt kill the tasks at all! Even after i went into default memory manager of wm6, i still couldnt end the tasks. Only option was a reset....
3. The back button in the phone app comes with the sound, and now that slows it down for some reason
thanks!!!!
San

Ohhhh.... this is realy weird
Did you install the ROM with default options, or did you change anything?
This is horrible!

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick response!
I didnt do anything with the rom before flashing. The only thing though, was i didnt flash the radio file as i have 1.15 and i find it stable. The Tasks problem keeps happening, i had to roll back now to one of your earlier versions which works fine though....
Thanks, and i really appreciate both your commitment and great work!

If it's that bad I will try to do a bug release in a view days.
My harddisk of my laptop crashed and currently I'm trying to recover the data first. I feel sorry for you and I hope I can fix it asap.
-I noticed a view things with initflashfiles.dat after I decompiled our own ROM.
-Also PocketCM I'm not realy happy with, I think I'm going to take that out.
-Office I changed for our previous one.
Well... I'm looking into it.
Cheers,
Leo

Hi, i have the same problem in phone operation so that i have to use another one. One thing still in dark: when finished uprom progress, i check phone with my Exec close position but it was hanged the screen very dark, have to SR the PDA again working. I don't understand why.

Texting - word catchup

I've noticed that when I'm texting using the keyboard, it can take a few seconds for the words to catch up to what I am typing. Its weird, I'll be finished typing my thought, but I have to wait for all the words to show up after I'm done. I've turned off the autocorrect and other options thinking it was the cause .. but to no avail. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

also want help with this

I have the same problem. A friend of mine with a non-HTC, WM6 device also has the issue too. My guess is it's just WM6 being slow and not the fault of the device.

Same thing here...
but i think it happens to be due to the lag.
Because ill get a text message...and ill open it...and it will be on the screen.
Then i will open my keyboard it would switch to landscape and i will start typing, and if i look up, it would be as if the words were trying to "catch up" to my typing. But after like 5 secs it would be back to normal.
Maybe just the lag that comes out of openning the keyboard?

I think it's the lag too. Because if this happens when I notice my device is running slow. After I do a hard reset though, when it's the fastest, i don't have this problem.
The other day I typed a six page paper on my phone and there was no lag; I had just done a hard reset.

you guys try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436795
It worked for the Tilt. I haven't tried i yet on the Fuze but it was a game changer for the Tilt.

I would blame wm6.1 for the lagginess since all the phones i've used have this sort of issue. Add to that tf3d and your processor is working ot.

umma have to try this on my Spint Touch Pro

anyone tried this yet?

By the way my Fuze (with stock ROM) doesn't have a delay. It's one of the few things I really noticed on the change from the Tilt so I don't have a need to try it...sorry but hope this helps

This is likely entirely related to the amount of 'stuff' you have going on in the background, on a clean ROM you'd be hard pressed to get this to happen. The more stuff you pile on, the less responsive it's going to be. I didn't notice this behavior for the short time I was running the stock Fuze ROM, though, so a 3rd party program may be the culprit.

I think its because the OS give priority to redrawing the screen, and your text message comes second. Every WinMo phone I have ever used will lag a little bit when chaging the screen.

I just installed the cab and everything seems to be a lot faster. Once I get typing more during the day will be the real test but just some messing around typing words I didn't notice the delay. So far so good
Thanks for the link

Is it just me (showing my age) or is the font in a threaded conversation REALLY small? Anybody know where/how to enlarge it a little?
TIA!

It is pretty small if you ask me. I've found that rotating your thumb "around" the center circle hardware button zooms in / out on the text. It doesnt work so 100% smoothly (WinMo again probably lol) but it does let you enlarge text. you can also set your typing text and system font to be larger elsewhere but I dont recall off hand.

Do you own a touch pro?
Tell us,is it worth installing this cab?
Are you really seeing an improvement?

i just installed it it definetly seems quicker
of course when sliding out the keyboard there will be catchup just because its working extra but after a few seconds its all good and stays fast

Yeah I have a Touch Pro and I think its worth it. I've been texting all day on it and the catch up has been improved greatly.

Yea I also just did the suggested tweak and now it takes about half or less of the time to catch up. The lag is usually only a few characters now.

Touch Pro 2 (Sprint) Answer Call Slide Issue (?)

Hiya.
Longtime lurker, firsttime poster. I'm currently experiencing an issue with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. I've had it for about a week now, and this problem seems to come and go. I'm using the stock ROM and TouchFlo3d; though I've also been playing around with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 (love the widgets!). Anywho, the issue (finally):
When I get a phone call, the callerID pops up and I have the slide-to-answer screen. I can either slide to the left or slide to the right (now dip, baby, dip) (sorry). When I slide to the left, most of the times the entire answer button turns green and the phone just keeps ringing. Like, I'm TRYING to answer it... but it won't let me! About 20% of the time, though, it slides successfully all the way over and I can then talk. But - again - most of the time it just turns green and I can't answer it. Even if I press the hard button on the lower left of the phone (the "phone" button).
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions/tips/tricks on how to fix this? With slide-out keyboards on a touch screen phone called the Touch Pro (2), it sure as hell is hard to google around for an answer! RTFM didn't help, either.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me out, here.

Hi, a friend has the same device and had the same problem, he solved it by going to the site of HTC and get the updates and now the problem is gone, also is there already many rom update`s there to windows mobile 6.5
Succes,
Greetz from Holland

Thanks mate. Unfortunately, though - that didn't work. :\
In the download section at HTC's site, it states: "This update can only be applied to ROM version 1.20.xxx.x or previous, otherwise the update will fail."
I'm on ROM version 1.21.651.3.
I went ahead and tried to DL and install the CallerID Update - but it wouldn't install. I received the "This hotfix is not compatible with your device" error message.
Any other suggestions? Oh, btw FWIW - this runs Windows 6.1. 6.5 isn't yet available for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 (or so I hear). Thanks again!

Try this Site scroll to bottom of page,give your serial and see if you can download it,maybe you must unlock your CID first to install it

negative. Didn't like my serial number. Regardless, everything I've read so far has said you can't really upgrade a US/Sprint/CDMA HTC Touch Pro 2 to Windows Mobile 6.5.
*sigh*
If only the phone part of the phone worked... this would be one helluva phone!

Will see what i can do have a orginal wwe 6.5 (from htc site) for it, but i think you must unlock touch pro2 orelse it will say invalid vendor i will upload it today and put a link here
EDIT--you can download HERE the Wm 6.5 (download the 2 files,click the .exe) unpack and Happy Flashing...I Have NOT Flashed it,because i have no touchpro2
Greetz from Holland

I have the exact same problem
Anybody got this resolved yet? I am running wm6.5 stock rom from sprint on my touch pro 2...

I'm having the same issue with my stock 6.5 rom.
phone rings but sometimes either slide to answer and hard button answer does not work.
Since I have not found a answer to this I will be doing a hard reset to see if it fixes

Any luck? I still have this issue.

A mobile phone that won't answer calls....
... seems a lot like sex without orgasms...!
I have the Sprint HTC TouchPro2 with the stock ROM, no additionally software installed, and yawp! Maybe 15-20% of the time I am able to answer calls. Grrrrr. I've been an HTC user prettymuch from day one, and this is the *laggiest* and *buggiest* phone by far! Normally, I customize and flash ROMs like crazy, but I have *no* interest in doing so with this phone... it should work out of the box, and it simply doesn't.
I have insurance, and keep taking my brand new phones back to Sprint. They look at it, and tell me to come back in two days when they'll have a new phone for me - at least that part is hassle-free. :/ I am now on my FOURTH new phone - all with the same 'unable to answer calls' problem- slide to answer jst slides to the green and freezes there; trying to use the answer button (bottom left bottun on the face of the phone) doesn't work either, and a minute or so after pressing it, I get the message, "unable to open sendkey.exe" blahblahblah,*and* each0hone I've received has multiple other problems: severe lag and freezing, sometimes the screen goes black, or pixelated so you can't see anything, SMS won't open (using the winmo, not HTC SMS shell, even), etc., etc., ad naseum.
I figure this will keep happening until the WinMo7 phones arrive in January2011 (almost there, anyway, since it is now the end of December!), after which I can request one of those instead of this brick.
I've had to tell my friends and family to text me if they want to talk to me on the phone, and I'l ring them back.
(other things I *really* dislike about this phone are: no external camera button, no external internet browser button, no 'ok' button, no scroll buttons, no flash for the camera, oh hellz: the list goes on and on! And, really - I adore HTC... but! this is their crummiest phone by far....)

Htc Touch Pro (Raphael 500) Running Android , How to overclock?

Alright so Yesterday I installed the android os on my touch pro (raph 500)
i orginally have windows mobile 6.5 which is preety fast
but android is really slow!
i turned off all the settings which i would think it used alot of memory but still no help, so i started seeing videos on overclcking?
can someone explain to me on how to do this,
with links to the download
i really need to speed this up ,it would be amazing if it worked.
also if you give me a response that helps me , ill donate 10.00+ to you .

I do not require funds as I enjoy helping out!
From THIS thread and THIS post:
Overclocking
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX ( suggested 600000-640000 )
but it is very unstable if you try to get higher than 650000-700000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically, you add that to the startup.txt file somewhere between the parentheses with an added space between the next command. Keeping in mind, with added OC, you may and may not notice a difference in stability. I honestly never use OC and I am using FroYo from THIS thread. Additionally you can try out Gingerbread Alpha from THIS thread. Please leave feedback in their respective threads, thanks!
n-Joie! (Enjoy)

thanks but this is my startup text :
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2182
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 acpuclock.force_turbo=1"
boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so which am i supposed to edit, sorry im a noob lol
& u said that was the one you used,
is it fast?

Actually, I can't use that one because I have an at&t Fuze. If you have a RAPH500, you might want to use the following:
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2182
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX"
boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where XXXXXX is equal to a value between 600000-640000
Additional note: make sure you type something like 600000 or any value up to 640000

lol thanks im trying to see if theres a difference in speed.
but you used froyo?
is that running fast?

It's running fine with sync and a few other apps running in the background. I would be mindful of livewallpaper and HQ video at the moment as this project is currently still under development, at best. At least that is what I have noticed as far as performance is considered. I have also run a stripped Gingerbread alpha build (the one I linked you to earlier) and it is running faster/smoother than FroYo. To be expected without all the bells and whistles...
NOTE: Speed is relative to performance at the moment. Hence why I say it's still under development...

intresting ill test that out in about 15 mins
but does yours take a long time to come out of sleep mode?

Hmmm, that might be the notorious sleep of death SOD. I usually do something that most don't like but I sort of turn off the screen time out by first making the screen time out greater than 10 or 30 minutes. After that it should make things easier as far as disabling the auto back light/screen timeout feature. Keep in mind this is only a work around, I believe there is mention of actually fixing this issue. You'll need to download a free app called batterybooster (use the link if you want to read up on it a little). Once installed, run it and look for the far right icon and tap it. Set the timeout to Never and you'll notice a decent performance enhancement in the screen off and screen on.
NOTE: You will need to manually turn it off from here-on. You can try to play around with the setting but I find it somewhat problematic. Meaning that if you enable the timeout, it might and it might not work.

alright well i tried the gingerbread and that didnt work it lagged .
i tried froyo , it was amazing then i found out wifi didnt work
so now im back to the regular android one i had before ill be trying to see if theres a difference now that i "overclocked" it .
but thanks for all the help.
ill post back if i need something!

Odd, wifi(wap not wep) works for me... Must be a random occurrence? Have you attempted to update any files and are you using OC? Probably best to stick to a stock-like startup till you get a good feel of most of the basic functions, which may or may not include wifi, gps, 3d and camera; these should be on the "to be worked on" list of things for the devs to complete.

NVM I got the wifi to work now .

Glad to hear about the wifi success story I don't know if I could walk you through that as it seems that wifi can be temperamental ( or just mental )
The only way I could get out of the SOD issue was to try for that work around (setting it to never timeout with the app mentioned) and to set a pattern unlock

well i set it to never timeout and i have a lock pattern
but since it never times out it wont lock .

also now im starting to notice froyo is rebooting for some weird reason automatically .

Calm down, that is kind of "usual behavior" . There are quire a few things going on and the OS is attempting to "handle it". Sometimes it can't and just quits instead of freezing up ( which would be the lesser of two evils ). To get it to lock, you will have to turn it off manually (power button). Unfortunately, I think if the keyboad slides out, it self unlocks (kind of a self defeating purpose, more or less). If you turn the screen off and wait like 10 seconds then turn the screen on (power key), you should see the lock. I can't say for sure but it does work for me. I don't really have much time for troubleshooting today, as I am at work currently but do look over the threads I linked you to earlier if at all possible.

okay so i turned it off using the power button and it booted to windows mobile (odd)
then i tried running haret.exe & got this message:
"The file HARET cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. IF the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
im not sure what to do.
i tryed reformatting the card and installing fresh files, which didnt work so now im left questioned?

When you say you turned it off, did you hold the button or just press it once? If you pressed it once, then, that is definitly not "usual" behavior. I recall having that issue once upon a time but for the life of me, I don't recall what I did to recover from it. However, it sounds like you are attempting to run from a shortcut that references the program(haret) that is no longer there. To resolve this, I need you to confirm that you are running from the microSD and not a shortcut. Also, you aren't formatting under windows, right? If you are formatting from windows, that would be a "no-no"
Find something like the HP tool (can be googled) that everyone else talks of or even something like the free version of partition wizard should work.

i held the button and it gave me options
1) airplane mode
2)shutoff
3)vibrate
i did try to make a shortcut but i deleted it and now when i checked i was running it from the actual application.
lastly, i did format from windows but i downloaded hp format tool
and formated my device in quick format.
reinstalled the programs and it still gave me the same error message,
please help, i really miss android =(

Try deleting data.img and letting it recreate the file. To clarify about the screen off issue, when you press the power button once (not hold), what does it do? Also, which kernel package are you using and have you attempted to download a newer kernel package yet?
Also, try THIS kernel package; I got it from THIS site. It looks like that kernel package is specific to our devices.

soyes 7s mini phone- How to disable "assist touch" ? gets turned on each boot

soyes 7s mini phone- How to disable "assist touch" ? gets turned on each boot
I got a cheap mini phone for dog walks,
soyes 7s
got it rooted and works fine, but there is an assist touch settings that enables a floating button after each boot. I can disable it in accessibility settings, but it is enabled again after a restart.
I have looked in the files in root, but have not found anything yet that might enable this setting each boot.
Now created a task in macrodroid with autoinput that disables it with a button.
Any slight chance of any help regarding a setting that is activated each boot?

I’d like to know this too. I’d love to see someone create a custom rom for this cool little phone. I love it.

have not found a solution, but with macrodroid and autoinput made it toggle the setting. So after unlock the settings screen is opened then toggled. Not pretty.
Also installed xposed on it.
Very cool little phone. Perfect with a bt earpiece and audify that reads incoming sms-email and caller name. Used Vphone S8 before, but this android thing is better and not much bigger.

Thanks for that. It’s fun with angry birds too lol. I’m really surprised the geeks haven’t jumped all over this. Low cost of entry and super cool and useful toy. You wanna meet girls, take this out on an elevator when they are all messing with their phones lol. I have mine set up to look like an iphone and it’s ace. Even found a silver Apple logo for the back on eBay. It’s a conversation starter. Way more capable than an Apple Watch lol

Hi. I just received mine. I bought to use in the same reason as you did. I saw that the phone is consuming a lot of battery in idle. I tried to root but I couldn't. With tools do you used to root yours? Thanks a lot.

Awesome! Now it is working. Thanks a lot! I just installed xposed and now i am going to change some things and see if i can improve my battery. I will come back latter!

I installed the xposed installer and just installed the framework it suggested. arm7I.

OK My device is rooted. What is xposed? How does it work? I’m new to android. I’ve downloaded it from the App Store but can’t make it do anything. What tweaks work best and how do I get them installed?
I'd like to be able to tweak the home button functionality to be able to mimic iOS and activate voice search etc.

I have this phone too lovely little phone i have installed holo launcher and dropped the dpi down to 130dpi looks awesome now.The only thing is we need to find out what’s drawing the battery so fast in general use.The phone itself sleeps like a baby pretty good in standby anyone have any ideas.And would be nice if we can get a sub forum going for this device as i think its getting very popular.

I think the main issue with the battery is that its too small. Id love to see 4g on the device.

I don’t know about that because it does a good job at standby time something seems to be draining it when in use may be some app or background process.I am sure we have plenty of people here with the know how to get it running better. I know this phone has been selling like hot cakes and a growing interest in the phone because it so well built and does not look so cheap and decent performance for that crazy size of it.Also i have been testing hotspot on this phone and the battery life is amazing when using hotspot to my ipad very impressed definitely a very handy feature of this phone.

Mine is also changed to 130dpi, looks much better now. That sim tray is a work of art lol.

yes, this phone is very snappy for the size. Feels faster than the two android watches I have, that are not used. Needed something that can be tucked away connected with bt and a voice notifier.
The xposed module "app settings" is good to tweak certain apps dpi and font size. I think my overall dpi is 120-130.
Also setcpu profiles to save when screen off and 900mhz screen on, only max cpu with incoming calls. Then greenify and amplify.
For me it last 2 days of dog walks, or 4-5 hours on connected to bt with a few short calls.

Do you have any issues with app icons moving around changing locations? I’m using an IPhone X launcher.

no, but i use Nova launcher. Not paid much attention, mainly for accepting incoming calls
