Ok I dont know if its just me with my 2 wizards, but for some reason one thing i have noticed in the newer roms is a soft key lag. Like where the contacts and calendar keys are at. There is like a second or half a second delay. I know i did not have this problem on my other WM6 builds. And also On some of the Roms It takes about 10 revolutions for the windows folder to show up. On older roms it would take maybe 2 or 3 revolutions. I am on TNT 2.0 and i have noticed this problem on this one and also when i was on NBD 7.2 . Im gonna try 7.3 and also pandora 3.2 and see how those roms are. Also why do people use smartskey? What is the purpose of that. THank you very much guys
One thing that I've seen in a number of the 318 ROMS that Ive tested is that my clock seems to rendomly jump back to some date in 2006 (and reset itself to 12:00). Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a reasonable fix?
I like smartkey because it remaps the control of the volume slider to scroll function.
It also has the ability to fire off and set OMAP if you don't want to use BatteryStatus or XCPU Scaler.
I like using battertystatus cause of the battery and scaling. And also sometimes after a reset my phone goes into 24hr format.

Biggest reason for me to use Smartskey is that you can press and hold the right soft key and it will close the current app. Also like how it remaps the slide switch on the side for volume and paging. I turn off the D-Pad function on WM6 though as I like the smartdialer in WM6 (although with the reTOUCHed dialpad may go back to the D-Pad since it works differently).
Ok well that clears up somethings. But on to the original topic. does anyone else see that lag that i was talking about. Im on NBD 7.3 and its gone. But i was on tnt and it had it.

Hey guys,
As some of you might know, I've been working on Solace v4 for quite some
time now. Well, now I finally have a stable version with some bugs. The
thing is, I haven't had any time recently to go through the ROM and pick out
bugs, except for the few noticeable ones, so I've uploaded Solace v4 Alpha
for anyone who wants to test .
I will be creating a new thread with more information when the stable, non-alpha version comes out.
For now I'll tell you that it is Windows Mobile 6.5 with Manila 2D and just the basic programs. Screenshots can be found here.
Thanks guys!
Please note that some bugs are: Manila 2D Sounds page isn't working, PTT button is not linked correctly, and SRS WOW HD is not configured correctly

Keep up the good work,looks very nice,I enjoyed a lot Solace 3.1...I hope you will finish soon this ROM...
Perfect timing, I have my favorite " stable " roms ( one of which was 3.1 ) to use during the business week , but love to try new roms over the weekend. Will flash and let you know if I find anything. Thanks for the hard work.
Damm,
was checking your site some while to find out when Solance v4 (Alpha) would be released..
now this is it, dl now.
thanks
Fantastic!
Seems like years since 3.1.........
On the download now.
I´m testing yout ROM
It's like centuries passed since v3.1
Looks promising. Images are interesting and it seems to be another "professional" ROM for everyday work. Maybe this will be the reason for me to not trying to cook again
DL now and testing in some moment. (Have no free time to flash and test and flash and test and cook and flash...)
Thanks, mbarvian !!!
Have had it on for a few hrs now and it really looks nice. AE Button took care of assigning button 6 to comm manager and Weather4me. Still trying to get WKtask to play nice with 6.5 , Excluding shell32.exe doesn't seem to be working.
Also the screen seems to be very insensitive to taps and touches. Tried increasing sensitivity with Kaiser Tweaks but still requires multiple taps and a really firm touch to open things sometimes. The taskbar works great as does the M2D slider with a light tap, it just seems to be the main screen. But I am still tweaking the setup, so I am not prepared to blame the rom for this.
Other than that everything seems to be working great.
Glitches so far
Hey Mbarvian
Been running a few hours now and a couple of things I've noticed.
SMS - not working. Sent messages remain unread. I don't know if they are sending, but I'm getting no replies (and I am very popular so there must be a fault!)
On startup 'messaging' is displayed in the taskbar where 'start' would normally be. Don't know if this is related to the above
The M2D music tab doesn't seem to function - it hangs on searching but doesn't find my music. The 'library' soft key doesn't work and the options under menu don't turn on shuffle or repeat or go to audio booster.
Power button/Backlight issue - It's been a while since I've had this issue on a ROM, but when I press the power button to bring the phone out of sleep the screen flashes on but then returns to sleep - I have to press again. As I'm sure you know this problem was around a while, but solved in the end - I don't know how!
I've installed and run lots of applications with no problems, but TomTom 7 refuses to install - it hangs after I select the install location. This happens whether I select device or storage card.
Voicemail number doesn't configure in the dialer (just being picky now)
Red end button doesnt return to M2D home when pressed (I know you are a perfectionist!)
Volume control isn't available under notifications - had to install 'setvolume' and map.
That's it for now! - I'll have to reflash to another ROM until there is a fix for SMS bug as need this working. Be waiting to flash back after though.
I flashed stock ROM and radio before flashing - radio updated to the same as my signature.
hey man, nice to see u got ur alpha booting again... Im sure its much more improved than the one i tried out
if i get the time, i might give it a test, but no promises
keep up the good work and hope u accomplish ur goal of perfection
Another Solace Rom
Will try it out later today
Well been using for almost a day now, I can confirm all that brandall has pointed out, except I am not getting the double push to wake up bug.
I too flashed stock before flashing and unfortunately SMS is a biggee for me also, my kids seem unable to ever dial a phone, so SMS is the only way they communicate with me. Because of course walking from room to room in the house is too much of an effort when you can just text from the bedroom to the kitchen. But off-topic
Will need to switch for now but will be back when sms is fixed to explore further and again, thanks much for the effort, all the chefs put in a lot of time and it is appreciated.
little review
As everyone was saying the text messages don´t work for me either. This isn´t a big deal for me because I don´t text much anyway. I can confirm that everything brandall reported doesn´t work for me either including the double power button push. I had the same issue with Solace 3.1 ever since I started using it so I kinda got used to it already.
However, I was unable to start the camera or bluetooth.
Please someone confirm that this isn´t just my fault.
Before flashing v4 alpha I flashed Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.
Still love this ROM and will use it untill the final v4 is out :-D
...ohh...very big problem is SMS all day I´m waiting for my test sms...unfortunately sms still doesn´t arrived thereby this ROM is for me unusable
and I agree with brandall
So I respect your hard work.
Wow guys sorry for putting out a version with so many bugs. Ill try and fix them but some of them like the power button issue I have no clue on. If any chefs would like the share some solutions to these problems, please don't hesitate to speak up
Thanks for the feedback though
I'm always interested in your work, but reading SMS issue, I have to hold back for awhile. no offense, but SMS is primary for me.
One question, you mentioned WM 6.5 but the screen shot shows Start Menu & Setting look like WM6.1?
Seems the M2D you use is not latest with weather on Home screen. Is that by choice?
Hi,
I'm really excited about this, I put reply here so I can set the Thread Subscription and get all new replies to my inbox, do not know any other way of doing it other than writing a message.
I would love to test this one but unfortunately too busy at work now - can't wait for the full edition, I haven't used stayed with any other rom other than the solace 3.1 since I started to learn stuff from this site. so thanks !
Sorry for adding some more but found out that the sound control isn´t working In the Settings tab in Manila after clicking on the sounds icon, only blank menu pops up.
Also the battery indicator is showing only the decimal value like 100%, 90% 80% ... not showing the exact value so for example from 60% it jumps straight to 50%.
Opera browser 9.7 doesn´t even load, moreover it freezes the phone. However the Opera Mobile 10 Beta and also Opera Widgets work flawlessly.
The power button issue seems to be happening on more than just your ROMs and what I´ve found it´s Microsoft´s fault - here but the suggested cab doesn´t fix anything, at least not for me
The solution is simply holding the power button a little longer (which I cannot blame any chef for not doing this for me every time I need it ).
Mbarvian, please don´t take this in a bad way, I appreciate your work and since Solace 3.1 haven´t found anything better. Just trying to help...
I'm having the same errors as with v3 with sound, text/mms, random resets, browser doesn't function at all, sound icon still doesn't work, can't remap buttons, etc
I appreciate Mbarvian's efforts and when the Rom is ready I'll try to use it again but some of us can only wait so long, and unfortunately using a ROM where text msging doesn't work isn't possible.
I have the correct and updated SPL/radio as well.

There's really no need to apologise! We appreciate your efforts.
If you knock up an SMS fix I'll jump back on the ROM to further test - I need SMS working though due to the masses of girls that text me.... I wouldn't want to let them down...
Or maybe I made that up.
Look forward to your update!
Hello All,
First of all - sorry for my english
Secound - I'm new in Android, my previous device was HTC Touch HD (aka Blackstone) - so I'm a little used to WinMo 6.5
I bought my Sensation last wednesday. It is a stock S-ON RL device (info about ROM is in my signature).
I have non-root'ed device.
Until yesterday (saturday) everything was O.K.
I set up a lockscreen with weather and one custom button (pointed to task manager - built one, not downloaded from Android Market).
Today morning i noticed issue with lockscreen.
There is no buttons above lock ring (any of them), and there is no weather shown.
I did soft-reset my device several times and that doesn't help.
When i go to "home screen" => "personalization" => "lockscreens" => and select (screen 1a, 2a) any of them, then return to "Home Screen" and press POWER button (to activate lockscreen) and again POWER button to see actual lockscreen (screen 3a) - I still don't see any of the four buttons (and weather)...
What's wrong? Anyone have ideas?
I don't see any setting, which could disable the four buttons....
If I wrote something ununderstandable, please let me know
Have I done something wrong? Why yesterday everything was OK? Could something be wrong during night? :/
Sorry for poor quality of screens, my work-phone is prehistorical
Any help would be appreciated
Thanx in advance

I also had this problem several days ago.I tried many methods to slove this problem.Include wipe application data... But all my efforts are in vain.At last,I have to use "Factory data reset" to slove the problem.
At last I found this problem caused by Titanium.Backup When I use Titanium.Backup to restore my system data.The problem appear.
I hope these information can help you.
Had the same issue, solved.
Run the Setup App again
Keep clicking next
Turn screen off you should have the apps and widget back
If this works, pass it around on other forums

Hi
Just dropped by to ask some guestions bcs seems there are some knowledgement here I wish u understand my Engrish.
I bought a week ago SGS2. And bcs default is always default I begun to customize the outlook, like we all.
My first problem mostlikely is a hw problem bcs one of the dot missing on the clock on upper right corner. I mean it is now 07.30 not 07:30. Not big deal anyway. But then I saw also slight flickering of the icons on the bar. The rest of the screen is ok. On/off didnt help nor reseting the phone to its factory defaults.
Another problem is the wallpaper which seems to zoom automatically after cropping it in the menu. I tried both options but both of them do the same scaling. Im using ADW Launcher. The same problem was with Go Launcher and with EX version.
Third problem is dead buttons. At least email and Maps dont work. I thought I have done that icon customizing somehow wrong but they dont work also on TW launcher.
Should I RMA this piece or.... ?
I appreciate it if u could post ur toughts to my email bcs it's easier to get possible replies. Thanks in advance.
Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.
I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.
I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.
Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday
It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...
The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.
I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.
Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages
With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).
Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.
I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands
The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.
I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?
