OMG, thats really bad news I red today! Smart1 will not release a v3! Your WM6 v2 is close to perfect, just some small bugs left to perfection. Whatever may happen, I wanna thank you for this first: GOOD WORK!!!
I may not have posted alot until now, since I prefer reading first, digging into it, then posting. I´m still pretty new to PPC world (compared to those who live in here..), and I don´t want to spam and pollute.
Now someone asked for list of bugs in smart1 WM6 v2 to fix them / cook a new ROM based on it, so I step in because these bugs are something I know about - sadly.
Maybe you smart1 could give all the files needed to build it to him, to make shure things dont get messed up on rebuilding? Don´t know how this is handled in here.
BUGLIST:
Bugs I have myself & they are confirmed:
- Backlight switches OFF after Softreset (really bad at night..)
- PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets (-> cant use device with PIN enabled edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will NOT test this.)
- Email Password gets lost after SoftReset (reenter on boot)
- IR not working (did not check manual reg fix avail.)
- WLAN in Comm Manager does not always switch ON/OFF propper, does not switch ON after several tries
- Delay of 0.5-1 sec on most Softkeys (1/2, Green, Red) + 1 & 2 cant be reasigned without problems (cab)
- second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history. (never tried, but as workaround I suggest disablin the feature at your cellular provider. edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will test this.)
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.
- Links inside emails produce an error
Bugs I dont have myself but confirmed
- Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation. (fine here, maybe depending on G3/4 or model)
- Incoming MMS does not work.Outgoing does work. (Cant confirm, hate $$$ MMS)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- Could not get Internet Telephonie (SIP) working, may be wrong settings
- Sometimes dialing a contact does not work (from some views/windows). Will check the circumstances
Bugs some people have but not confirmed so far:
- MobileCalculator.exe not starting (works fine here)
- Pocket Outlook (Messages) does not start after a while (had this once, guess its some inteference with other soft)
- If you want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, you receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom. (I can not confirm this at all.)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer. (not completly wrong, in general sofkeys lag)
- System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back (had once, someone else confim please)
from 18.04.07:
- Display is not kept opp when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination (I dont get this. Get opp?? Why not just lock device or use Mortsaver)
- The phone turns itself on frequently throughout the day when you have an Exchange email account. This is confirmed after a hard reset, and doesn't happen until the Exchange account is entered. (Guess Mortsaver could be used as workaround as long as not fixed.)
- BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing. (Uhm, does WM 6 support HTML mails at all? I don´t need it, if i need formated text i attach it)
- Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically.
I Confirm these bugs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
To get a clean & bugfree WM6 on prophet (maybe) I suggest following system:
- Everybody reads the whole tread before he / she starts posting
- Everybody thinks twice before posting if the post matches the topic
(Smart1 v2 Bug Collection - not: How to flash ROM or Please add finnish language.)
- Everybody posts bugs that are not already known .
- Everybody confirms bugs if they where not confirmed once
- Everybody falsifies bugs if they do not appear on their device
- Everybody posts tested solutions to confirmed bugs
- Nobody posts requests or problems with flashing or any other BS
- Nobody quotes complete posts just to add a single line
I will read this tread and update this post to collect all known bugs into this single post. I hope some mods keep an eye on this tread and keep it clean from "I have a problem and I am to lazy to read - PLEEEASE HELP ASAP" posts. Excuse me if this sounds a bit rude, but I just red trough 90 pages of the smart1 tread....
Even if we can`t cook ourselfs we can still judge the taste...
Please keep this post clean!!!
A
bug I find: afetr using some time, the messeage can't be used!
thanks
Problems happened to my prophet
1. Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation.
2. second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history.
Bug with tasks?
I have only one complaint and this is about tasks.
If I want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, I receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom.
I don't know if this could help others.. I had the same problems as you other guys in this thread with the phone part. (No missed calls list, PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets).
If i then flashed firts to NVID of WM5 rom, then to Smart1's WM6 V2 and after that i flashed to the radio rom of version 2.61.29.. Then those problems dissapeared for me.. I have a full call history list, and the phone does ask me for PIN everytime i soft reset! I haven't had these problems at all after i did this.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.

I can confirm that! I have the same problem!
Grt Rom, just a few glitches.
1) the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
2) System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back
Can live with the above 2 problems, other than that i think its a fabulous rom, quite slick and quick. Hope someone can pick up where Smart1 left off.
Turns itself on with an Exchange email account
OK. Scratch the title of this post.
The problem exists when a PIN is used with the 'Lock' applet in Settings -> Personal -> Lock. When you have a PIN set to be required at startup, the phone will at times turn on by itself. Also, if you let the phone sit by itself for a few minutes, you will be able to turn it on with the 'end call' button! I have repeated this after several hard resets with no apps installed.
I originally thought an Exchange account created this problem because my hosted Exchange provider requires a PIN to be setup for the phone to communicate with the Exchange server. But, I know the Exchange account has nothing to do with the problem.
BUGS
BUGS
RINGING
Sometimes the phone does not ring as normal (sms do notify!), it displays only on screen without making any sound, not even vibration.
Happened once after weeks of usage:
SYNCRONIZING
Syncing with laptop not successfull. After all my calendar, contacts, to-do and task were deleted on unit. After that ActiveSync does not want to syncronize with phone anymore. Not even after deleting and creating a new partnership. The unit keep changing its ID; WM_Administrator1, 4, 6 etc.
Hardreset and reinstall of AS4.5 so far works.
GENERAL
*Display is not kept off when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination. I dont use any exchange-account.
*Fast battery draining (tried every radio-rom, now running 2.07.20)
More bugs
And ofcourse;
Incoming MMS does not work. (outgoing does work!)

For me, this is the biggest drawback. Which apps do have installed, and have you tested them to determine which app might be involved in turning the device on by itself?
I have also noticed that I can even get the device to turn on with the end call button at times...
Do you have an Exchange email account?
EDIT18th Apr-07 08:48 (GMT+1):
BUGS
Still no incoming MMS, Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
Have not been able to reproduce contacts/calendar deletion via sync yet (it appeared after some weeks last time, fresh install now only 3 days)
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically. I therefore have installed the cab-files in folder "\extended_rom\" manually via total commander. If that has something to do with it)
I Confirm these bugs:
Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume.
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Wow, amazing how fast this gets confusing. People please try to keep it clean!!!
If you find out something is not caused by the ROM itself (like Bongachalla just did), please edit your previous posts and delete these Bug reports.
As far as I understand Bongachalla had 4 Bugs (no MMS receiving, No Ringing from time to time, Sync deleted all contacts on PPC and Touchscreen activating by programs (check our Mortsaver for this btw.)).
Did all of these bugs disappear after your reinstall or what?
Please try to be exact with your bug reports and check if they appear with a clean installed ROM before you post them. Please search on board if there is a fix for them and post solution together with report if you find some. If you get any error message google it to find out what causes it.
This helps us all and raises the chances that someone will take the time to build a rom with bugs fixed. Thx.
BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing.
No more bugs?
Maybe you did read the original Smart1 tread, so you know he revived his S200 and announced release of v3 in the next weeks. So I guess its time to post any unknown bugs and confirm the known ones, so they can be fixed in this (I guess final)release.
Thank you for your help.

Another bug not yeat reported
I've looked every where and didn't found anything related with this bug.
My sms just get erased from the Text Messages folder each time I do a soft reset.
using smart1_wm6_pp8mb_NEW.v2 and the Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21, followed the instructions and runned all the cabs in the extended_rom.
Did i do anything wrong or is this really a bug
No bug ... its a config of the SMS store!
I dont want to spamn this post, so can you just redirect me to the instructions on how to change that? so when i do a reboot, the sms dont get lost? sorry for the off topic([email protected])
You can't change it! If you reset with your stylus you will probably loose messages.
Use pxshut or similar or turn off (hold power for three seconds)
The reset hole is for emergencies only. This is discussed in great detail in the Fantastic 1.1 thread and the Smartv2 thread.

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
EDIT: This should be enough. try flipping your screen/sliding your keyboard and see if the screen changes orientation.
Now put your device on standby, and turn it on again. If orientation stays the same - you're done. If not - try steps 5-7, although they seem to be irrelevant.
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps
So now, if you need something to help you rotate your screen on demand, you could use this small app that i've made.
its called ScreenRotate.exe (naturally), and you use it like this:
usage: ScreenRotate.exe <command line argument>
0 : Rotete to angle 0
90 : Rotete to angle 90
180 : Rotete to angle 180
270 : Rotete to angle 270
CW : Rotate clockwise
CCW : Rotate counter-clockwise
MIRROR : Mirror the current angle
If nothing will be specified at command line, nothing will happen.
.NET CF 2 is needed.
I really recommend using it along with FTouchFlo.
This way, to rotate the screen manually, you just need to drag your finger the way you want the screen to be shown, from top to bottom.
I find it quite comfortable while driving...
Those are the changes you'd need to change in FTouchFlo to make it work with ScreenRotate:
DownUpApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
DownUpAppCmdLine:mirror
LeftRightApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
LeftRightAppCmdLine:cw
RightLeftApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
RightLeftAppCmdLine:ccw
Thank you so much... I have been looking for this for sooo long.
This is the perfec way to make it stick in either Portrait / Landscape.
There have been many users such as myself who have wanted our devices to stay in landscape and this is the perfect hack.
Thanks again... Cheers
BTW -> Tested and works on my Hermes
Just added it to the Hermes Wiki (Can be found under regisrty tweaks although it's not a reg tweak)
happy to hear that!
you're welcome mate.
I have a tytn hermes with satin black and in the notifications tab there isn't any notification named "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent". I have searched in the notifications tab in task manager and also in the notification queue in memaid. So when i soft reset the device everything goes back where it was (auto rotate screen). Any help? Thank's
EDIT: It is working perfectly even without this notification. I just tested it. So everything OK! ThanX again

actually, you're right.
i guess the notification has nothing to do with it,
i don't remember what made me think it does.
i'll edit the hack accordingly.

Unfortunatelly I have found 2 bugs. I have a tytn hermes with black satin medium installed. The first bug is that with mis1 unloaded the device can not connect with the pc anymore. When I plug the device it is just being charged but active sync won't open at all. The second bug is that I can not load mis1 again. No matter what I have tried the device mis1 won't be loaded again if I had unloaded it. Any ideas?
Ok i found a way to reload this specific device (mis1).
1. Run taskmanager.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll) (it is unloaded if you have done everything described on the 1st post)
3. Long-Tap on it, and choose "Set Manual"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and choose "Set Automatic"
5. Soft reset your device

Just solved!
The ActiveSync troubleshooter (menu: Help/Troubleshooter for ActiveSync) offered to clear the "Enable advanced network functionality" check box. While trying to do that, an error message "Failed to disable RNDIS ..." was popping up every time. As per this suggestion, I removed virtual COM ports from Bluetooth settings and then it was possible to clear that check box.
Immediately thereafter ActiveSync woke up on the PC and offered to create a new partnership (because I deleted everything in frustration earlier). No problems for half a hour.
Then I left the administrator account and logged on as the usual limited user. ActiveSync again was unable to connect until the advanced functionality check box was restored. Does it seem that those both accounts will require different settings? Dunno, I haven't checked yet.
On my Wizard, with the TNT Rom (August 08), I don't see the device MIS1, and I don't see the event in the TaskManager.
Any ideas how to disable screen rotation, when I slide the keyboard?
Thanks in advance
Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM 1.03.651.4
The MIS1 solution did not work for my phone (Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM 1.03.651.4), but I found that this does:'
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\CamAppActive = 1
Presumably the device thinks the camera is active and thus doesn't rotate the display.
Obviously this will return to 0 after soft reset, so I used TaskMgr 2.9 to export the entry, then added a startup shortcut to import this entry with the /silent flag.
UPDATE: This fix interferes with data entry in Opera. When I try to type into a google search box, I get one character, the box looses focus, and I gotta tap on it again to type any more. Severely annoying. Goes back to normal when I change CamAppActive back to 0, and close and reopen the keyboard. I may make an exe to toggle or just make two reg import shortcuts.
Way cool!
Works for me too on a Kaiser, with old Dutty ROM.
How in the world did you figure it out? Look at that key?
Thanks, Jeff
It made perfect sense, but admittedly I tried changing everything under "Rotation" before I tried that one.
Item #21 on this list clued me into that area of the registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
El Zilcho.
Bupkis. I've been knocking my brains out trying to disable autorotation, but still have manual enabled. (I've got some apps that play nice only in landscape, and some only like portrait. Also, I'd like to be able to slide my keyboard out really quick-like to enter some quick text, then slide it back w/o messing with screen orientation.) I tried the MIS1 disable, but no-go for me. Also tried messing with the Rotation entries, specifically the SlideKey key, but apparently that value is volatile and changes with each slide. Oh well! Unless there's a way to lock the SlideKey value so it can't be changed, that'd fix my issue. Hmm.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I've got the Tilt (8900 I guess?) with vanilla OEM 6.1 ROM, modded only for no-bloat. (Did the old battery trick after reset/reinstall to prevent bloatware.)
EDIT: After I typed this up, figured I'd try using Settings>Screen (or somesuch) to just fix perspective. Still auto-rotates. KaiserTweak and Advanced Config can't get it to stick on one or the either, either. Editing registry turns up same results. Settings right now say it's fixed at 0 degrees but it still autorotates.
Late-breaking edit, 14-JUN-10: Got rid of it a few months ago anyways, moved to a Rhodium. No D-pad, so no more worries about those games that didn't like rotation, as they needed the D-pad to work anyways, and the TP2 doesn't have one.
Doesn't work on touch pro 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5928161#post5928161
That's what I resorted to!
Wow
Wow, pretty hard core fix! On the Sprint Touch Pro 2 Stock 6.1 my reg entry above only works to prevent rotation when the keyboard is slid out, it will not help with the autorotation provided by the sensor. I however put together some .reg files, with my perceived essential fixes including disabling sensor rotation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651166
So, following post 'step by step' didn't change anything with my screen rotation settings. still automatically rotates all the time when I don't want it too...really frustrating. This is about the 4th hack I've tried with no success. Does anyone know what the proper solution is for the HTC Rhodium? I'm running stock AT&T Tilt 2 Rom WM 6.5.
I know there are programs you can install to take over rotation control...I'm just looking for a reg change or service hack or something to stop auto rotate from ever happening.

I added to the StylusLock description how to go to sleep immediately, by just pressing the Power Button and inserting the Stylus. But maybe you did know this already.
Thanks ZuinigeRijder, this was answer to all my locking needs!
For GPS purposes, it would be nice to have option to lock/unlock with lets say long keypress (home, back, answer, hangup -key), since its bit tricky on my mount to take out stylus for unlocking.
But anyway, this is best so far. I also love your idea to keep app simple and low resource eater.
(I will post duplicate of this to Diamond side also).

No - Every time you want to un-lock the phone with the lock enabled you have to remove the stylus? To re-lock just insert the stylus? You can switch the "software" on and off for when you want it enabled or dissabled?
To me EN4CER69 this is a bit of a "Doh...!!!!" type question? If you didnt have to un-lock before making or answering a call - then the phone wouldnt be locked now would it????? Sigh.....

While the software is promising I am not sure how convenient it is to pull the stylus in and out before you can answer a phone call. See the video above for the app in action

Stylus Lock
I have trailled Stylus Lock for a few days now.
It took a bit of getting used to, mainly due to the lack of on screen notification of the lock state.
My main gripe is that the power button was disabled in the lock state. This forces me to use the 'Turn off Device' in the Power settings, set to something like 40 seconds. Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?
Once more thing - I realise that this is called 'Stylus Lock' and I think that function is great. However, I think a simple pattern of keying the hardware keys as an unlock method would be a great addition.
That would solve the problem of not having to take the stylus out just to read an SMS or answer a call.
So what I'm saying is that this application is great. It is stable and worked as designed.
Just 3 comments
1. Do not like the Power Button being disabled. No chance for immediate power off when locked.
2. Screen Notification
3. Alternative Unlock using a pattern of key presses.
Thanks

Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?

You can do it like this.
While Stylus Lock enabled you are done with your tasks and want to put device in sleep mode and locked - Press power button and then insert stylus. Device goes to sleep and you feel lock vibration notify. To wake up device, simply pull out stylus and it unlocks also.

Stylus Lock
I have trailled Stylus Lock for a few days now.
It took a bit of getting used to, mainly due to the lack of on screen notification of the lock state.
My main gripe is that the power button was disabled in the lock state. This forces me to use the 'Turn off Device' in the Power settings, set to something like 40 seconds. Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?
Once more thing - I realise that this is called 'Stylus Lock' and I think that function is great. However, I think a simple pattern of keying the hardware keys as an unlock method would be a great addition.
That would solve the problem of not having to take the stylus out just to read an SMS or answer a call.
So what I'm saying is that this application is great. It is stable and worked as designed.

1. Do not like the Power Button being disabled. No chance for immediate power off when locked.
2. Screen Notification
3. Alternative Unlock using a pattern of key presses.

StylusLock
Youtube video StylusLock in action on wmpoweruser.com. Note that this video is version 1.1. New version 1.2 has a StylusLock indicator and only vibrates now when locked or Stylus LockMode is enabled. This saves a bit battery.
Version 1.2.1
* Found the problem why the icon was disappearing. So now I do not need to redo the locked icon each 55 seconds No CPU usage again.
* Apply the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really locked
* Remove the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really unlocked
* I had a lockup of the TD today (with version 1.2), so I do not hope this version is buggy
* Added the missing sources (forgot to put under source control
Version 1.2
* Added StylusLock indicator when locked. Works for TouchFlo3D screen as well as other Today screens.
* Because the StylusLock indicator is now visible if locked, it no longer vibrates when unlocked (saves extra battery)
* Kept StylusLock as simple and small as possible (only 1Kb in memory) and does still consume no CPU (check with TaskManager!!).
* v1.2 is even a bit smaller then v1.1, although the StylusLock indicator has been added.
Version 1.1
When the stylus is put inside it will only vibrate if "stylus Lock mode" gets enabled and/or the phone is getting locked. If there is no vibration, you know the phone is not locked and "stylus Lock mode" is disabled. Added source code.

1. Just push the Power button to go to sleep, before inserting the Stylus.
2. This is added in version 1.2.1
3. Although the TouchPanel and Hardware keys are locked, still the hardware buttons area is sensitive. So I am looking into another lock/unlock method in addition to the Stylus.......but be patient......

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)
FAQ 2

:::ONLY ONE ISSUE:::
When InCall Partial back button is displayed.
EVERYTHING else is easily fixable.
FAQ 3
Saving space for updates.
Using 7.3.1
1) Activesync is always on. Even after turning it off it restarts in background after some time.
2) Battery status icon on home page always shows full. Had to install a third party battery meter to show correct status.
Since this thread popped up i guess the issues i have that are notable.
1. activesync always re-opens im aware of a reg change that is possible to stop this but haven't been able to find it yet.
2. that back button when calling is REALLY annoying lol, someone needs to get/find a fix for that.
3. battery bars are inaccurate, i used one of the first things kidnamedalbert suggested and it works, until i soft reset the phone then it doesnt.
4. weather back round was first not alligned correctly, but it fixed itself after an install and uninstall of the feng shui theme.
5. still completely usable and i love this rom a lot
The fix that I have done:
* Using vistahide for battery status. Remove the today screen battery status icon using Schaps advance configurator.
What I can't fix:
* Half of backspace button is shown on call status screen. However if I lose the signal (happens very often in my apt ), the backspace button does not show.
Customizations, which may be useful for a few:
* Install vjbrisk to redirect calendar to thumbcal. After installation, rename vjbrisk.exe to calendar.exe, and rename a thumcal shortcut to vjtarget.lnk, then post the new calendar.exe and vjtarget.lnk in the \windows folder to redirect calendar to thumbcal.
* Reinstall newest google maps to main memory. It simply works after reinstallation.
my issue is when u flip the phone when its on the home screen it doesnt fit and it always goes back to portrait mode
I am having the landscape problem also, if it does flip to landscape it is cut off. Most the time it won't even flip!
I am having a problem with the Device lock, after a reboot the device lock works fine but once i unlock it...i can not lock it again. Which sucks because if i try to take it out of the belt clip when i am getting a call it always pushes the call to voicemail!
I was just about to search for these issues when i seen this new post. I'm going to search now...maybe someone from here will be in that search with the answers =)

Thats the thing i do try it manually, when i click on the Device Lock the phone beeps so i know i hit it but it never locks. I have tried using the shortcut under Accessories, tried putting a shortcut under Programs, I even went into the Windows folder and clicked Devicelock.exe. All of them do the same. i think it just might be corrupt. Can you up your devicelock.exe from your Windows folder?

yeah that always happens to me. and i solve by holding end key and unlocking and DeviceLock works again

The Same! With Version 7.3.1
And:
If I direct via Startmenu e.g. to the accessories folder and then want to go back, it sometimes happens, that it needs some minutes to show all Icons or hangs up!
PSShutXP doesn't safe the settings for an automatic reset!
And last:
If I want to add something to Programs Tab I have to press 2 times on the "+" Symbol on the button. the first time only the wait Symbol appears and fanishes, but nothing happens!
The same with adding weather and Contact

Heres an issue, when using a headset for music when you go to audio booster to try to change settings on the equalizer you CANT check the "On" Button. This was a problem with the STD version as well and thought that it was fixed in this release(OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final ) and it still isnt . Is my headset not compatible or is this just a bug with the software?
for me its google maps. when i had another rom on open touch biggy i believe it worked with the proxy last week. now it says i need data. yet my email works and the web doesnt on the opera anymore.

Hi,
I have installed the latest WM6.5 Build 21725 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605) on my HTC Touch Pro.
But I have a problem (which occurs on all tested roms) with the lock screen: I lock the device. The lock screen appears fast and is immediately responsible. But when I go to suspend mode (by waiting or pressing the power key) and then let wake up the device, I have always to wait a lot of time until the lock screen is responsible to unlock the device. This is very annoying and I want to fix that "bug". Can anybody help me?
Same here. And does anyone know how to remap one of the softkeys to lock the screen? Instead of have to push start >> lock?
i had this with a 6.5 rom
what i did was after i turn backlight on i quickly press the hangup buttton and then the slide works fine
this may have to do until the rom becomes more stable

Thanks for your tip, but it doesn't work
Sorry this was gibberish
then im sorry i cant help
all i can do is ask youve tried this on a 6.1 based rom
this is a knowing trouble because of the beta
Hey pilot... this is a real kick on the ass cause nobody answer this many times users needs a third party app to lock their devices... i didnt lock my device... i just turn it off and disable all the buttons you see... its like a locked simply and crapy phone function.
well i know it looks good que but the problem i had was after a while in standby the buttton would shift to any side however i know the phone wasnt crashed due to the little arrow animatiuons kept going as normal all i did was tap the phone down button and then it worked as it should mind you this was davie ducks v8 on the hd
I figured out that the lock screen is immediately responsible if you set a password. But I don't want to slide AND then type a password
just slide the time bar at the below screen before slide the lock :| i got this bug after upgrading into a 6.5 rom :| now it's done by myself :">
remember at the time of the OPs question 6.5 was very buggy
a lot of the latest releases are a lot better
Laggy
I also have this laggy problem when clicking the right key to bring up unlock screen, takes a while for the unlock screen to appear.
Was looking at ThrottleLock which looks good, but not compatible with 6.5.
I hate iphones so don't want S2U2 !!
Looking forward to update
Correction
Correction, just tried an older version of throttlelock app 0.6, and it works with windows mobile 6.5
Is there some way to just turn the lock screen off? I hate how slow it is on my backup phone, an LG KS20
You may have it in settings-personal, if not, go to HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen, and change 'enable' from 1 to 0. Then, you'll have to old-style lockscreen. If you want to see the lockscreen settings applet, then change 'ShowLockScreenPicker' from 0 to 1. You may need to soft reset (but you may not).

Thanks Ted! Works perfectly, for some reason the Lock Screen settings applet won't show, but that's not important as the first registry key solves my problem.
Yeah one way is to set back original WM5x/6/6.1 LockScreen but I have solved it another way... Maybe you have noticed that the new WM6.5 lock screen has delay ONLY on first run so what about put a shortcut to "\Windows\Startup" to lock device on startup (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock - working also with WM6.5)? I mostly don't need to use the device in first seconds after startup so everything necessary can load to memory and then after unlocking my device is everything relatively fast ;-) BTW you can set lockings with tool named Smart Lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032).

The problem with the 6.5 lockscreen is that it kills gwes.exe (at least in my experience). Do a soft reset, open up a task manager and look at gwes.exe. With dotfred's, I'll start at maybe 15 MB, and as soon as I open the lockscreen (I get the delay, too), the gwes usage jumps by about 6 MB, and none of the ram is released. It makes my device buggy over time. Gwes.exe is bloated enough with 6.5.3 roms, you really don't need the lockscreen killing it like that.
I don't know if it's an issue on a stock rom, but the cooked ones have problems. In the 6.5 cooking thread, Da_G said a while ago that it had to do with how most kitchens compile roms. They compress all files the same way, and ignore flags in the dsm's that say whether or not a file should be compressed. He's said that cooking an uncompressed rom fixes the problem. I've tried making a cab of the lockscreen and running it that way, but I still get the initial delay and the 6 MB ram-tax on gwes.exe, so whatever is breaking the lockscreen during cooking because of the forced compression isn't in the lockscreen packages. Anyway, the lockscreen is cool, but I personally hate what it does to gwes.exe, so I don't use it.
What your saying about cooked vs. stock is likely correct, as I had briefly owned an HTC Pure (ATT branded Diamond 2), which shipped with 6.5, and there were absolutely no delays with the lock screen. On the other hand, I still haven't flashed 6.5 onto my X1, so I don't know if its just that my LG can't handle the lockscreen with its 400mhz qualcomm.
