DarkForce Team
first fo all, thy for that great german rom!!!! i just want to sent u a wish. would be great if u could include the usb hdd in the next version.
great work!
Suggestions:
Offer Two editions of each (with different sd size formatting -- size blocks)
Remove extra image files, music files and other files that dont need to be there.
Fix GPRS system. For India GPRS Networks (like Idea, Hutch, etc) when u set a profile for GPRS and APN and click the connect button nothing happens - it doesnt even try to locate the GPRS network.
Set default Higher Volume and higher bass by default since the media player n ringtones have lower volume by default.
Give the extra ROM all the extra cabs. If a user wants he can just delete it all using file manager else can use it for adding extra cabs if required. at the end of the day it makes no difference if its empty or not...the user can remove the files if required.
Integrate OMAP or whatever other Univeral Clocker there is and set it a higher but stable setting. Think of the speed we could get!
just a note
Hey there!
Love the rom. it really is one of the best.
Could you add the possibility to NOT get a sound when a normal sms is being sent? Its very annoying to hear that you sent an sms..
THANKS A MILLION!

Issue:
1) In test i have issue when stay connect usb and activesync (4.5) and do soft reset, universal freeze.
2) If setting only gsm (in registry) and do soft reset a time non always, freeze.
For test i have installed only SpbPocketPlus with close X active, and disable x from wm6. Rom radio 1.15 less delay that 1.14 and old version.
Best Regards
Very nice and reliable release but bluetooth headset causes occasional phone hangings. Same problem on every wm6 rom i flashed. Best bluetooth stack for my headset is in helmi 3.5 1.3.1
Thank u for the perferct work
The following is fe notes:
- the old office mobile icons (may be version, i don't know)
- The flight mode was not worked with me (closed all radios, but gsm didn't reactivate till i soft reset the jasjar)
- in a very few instances, the gprs was lost and a messeage that modem cannot be dialed come to me and i had to soft reset the device.
- once while the usb was connected, the devic freezed on incoming call.
I desire Italian language and ...videocall in your rom that is the best wm6.
Thanks.
This ROM is the Best !!!
European users hope that VideoCall tool will be ready soon........
Without videocall Universal seems bad........ this is my idea, guys.
nice job DarkForce
headset sign and incoming calls reception.
1 after you close the connection to a headset, for example to a car kit, the signal in the screen doesn't disappear.
2. times from the moment you receive a call and the button green to start the conversation takes some seconds (5 to 10).
3. what to change to have spanish language?
Tom Tom 601 issue
Hello,
With this rom I have strange situation with TomTom 6.01 - when I update 6.00 to 6.01 it says "no maps found" even if 6.00 was working fine and was with maps... Anyone noticed this problem???
Occasional lockups on softreset
Darkforce ROM (mine is WWE) is more stable than JW's (frequent lockups - don't know why). However, there are occasions when a sound alarm pops up, Uni hangs. One time softreset by poking the little hole will not normally get it to work only 4-5 times can resolve the frozen situation. Since it doesn't happen quite frequently (once per 2-3 days), I can do with it. Hope the upgrade will settle these issues.
I d like u can relese the CHS next version include CE-Star
Definitely the best WM6 ROM I've used so far! Great job!
My suggestion is that you not only unhide, but also unlock the Extended ROM. If you use some of the unlocking tools out there, they create a second folder called ExtendedROM, instead of unlocking the Extended_ROM. Which is a pain to deal with. The only thing that solved the problem was uni_ext_rom_unlock.exe which I found in this forum. It would be nice to have it unlocked already.
Thanks!
And once again - great work!
hi,
I noticed a couple of freeze when there is an incoming call and I only realised it when opening my universal and see the little box that pops up when there is a call.
Only solution is to reset
apart from this the rom is really nice
thanks and looking forward for an upgrade
This is the best ROM among the others so far, at least i found it more stable and no sudden lockup. I've been using this ROM for few days and experiencing only one lock-up so far, in which I was using intensively, Surfing with IE, MSN Messenger and Skype with LAN and GPRS connected.
I would expect the new update could fix / enable the keyboard backlight sensor. There are one or two minior issues on Bluetooth connection, but cannot re-produce at this point. I will report again if i can re-produce the probelm tonight.
Thanks
Pros/ Cons.. reccomendations
Hi Guys...
OK..
Reccomendations!
1. Make it vanilla!!
If not, then please make it so the voice control apps are installable by Cab. I prefer using MS Voice, and its a pain that i cant uninstall the other apps..
2. Fix Band issue!
Speaks for itself really!
3. Include scarybears checknotifications.
You have the same problem with this rom as a few others have had.. the same reason why prolonged usage always fails. Everytime an alarm is set, or reset takes place, there is a script or clock.exe entry made.. I use scarybear to "reclaim" this memory... It makes a HUGE difference!
4. Unlock & Unhide ExtendedRom as default
I know this has been asked before, however.. Make a cab to Hide it again...
5. Date / Time on one line!
Speaks for itself really!
6. Bottom bar thoughts....
OK.. The today plugin is a great acheivment.... However... There are some people (like me) who use Psshut... this still makes a bottom bar! Therefore the plugin is useless for me.. In fact it wastes the space on my screen.
So.. either make a cab to "add back" the bottom bar icons for comm-manager, power, backlight and orientation, OR make the plugin so it can add the icons from other programs!
7. Fix keyboard backlight Issue.
I know its a nice idea to have it react to keypresses.. but they sort of built in a sensor so it knew when it was needed! Not quite sure why yours doesnt activate the sensor.. but hey!
8. Fix the small errors in Buttons!
Not a biggie, but the icons are wrong under the buttons menu, and the text is missing on a couple...
By no means a full list, but all i had time for..
Dont get me wrong.. The rom is STUNNING. Still very fast, very stable, and apart from a few niggles... great in all aspects..
Keep up the good work!
Cannot remember least PHONE speak volume setting
Reboot device restore to default ?

And If you have more questions maybe put it in the relevant thread. HERE
Also I think you may have a burned up GPS chip. Try a different GPS program. GPSTest or something. But It would be better if you posted in the Thread that deals with Problems in the rom you are using.
two suggestions:
first: see if u have a-gps enabled. if so: disable and try again
second: try another rom... find one that's best for you.
i dont see how htc home plugin can affect this because i tested all possible combinations w&w/o it enabled and nothing changed. I had the same issue, igo freezing with dutty's wm 6.1 ROM when configuring and turning off assisted gps helped, as stated above.
My GPS worked fine with iGo until I changed the ROM (I had Dutty's ROM nr. 4). And that link that you give me, Jimmy, is related to HTC Home. I don't use it, like I said before.
Help please...
Still no answer... any ideea? Thanks

I'm not sure it's a ROM problem. iGo 6 itelf seems to have a problem dealing with AGPS. Mine also freezes after a while if AGPS is turned on.
I just leave it off and everything seems to work fine.
/drt
one thing i did was turning off the igo today plugin..and reboot..that should partially remove the conflict..
There are actually three different kinds of iGo problems I've seen with the various ROMs I've tried:
- Installation won't complete. Often, iGo will run anyway if you just do a soft reset when the installation halts. Often it won't.
- iGo runs, but once configured to find the GPS COM port, it hangs and hangs every time it starts after that. It may be related to AGPS, but I've seen this in ROMs that do not have that enabled by default. Also, I have no data plan and, as a result, no data connection with the tower.
- iGo installs, but won't start at all. Trying to start it results in a little screen opening animation, but nothing appears. The device is sluggish for a moment, then it's as if you never attempted to start it at all. This is the problem I have with Dutty's latest ROM. This almost certainly not related to AGPS since iGo has no GPS configuration immediately after installation. I don't believe it is related to the HTC Home plugin, since iGo runs fine for me on the AT&T test ROM, and it has the plugin.

This is definitely a conflict with the music tab of HTC Home, but only on some 6.1 ROMs (curiously not build 716 though). This problem doesn't occur in any 6.0 ROMs that I know of. It's not the plugin per se, but some component of the Today screen configuration that's causing the problem.

Is it sufficient to uncheck the plugin in the Today configuration and soft reset or is something more drastic required to resolve the conflict? The instructions linked to in an earlier posting seemed more like a series of black magic steps that happened to work.
Hi guys,
I think the subject says it all...
I have a Diamond which suffers from serious GPS lag (not fix!). This means that when I'm driving, my car is always up to 50m ahead of what TomTom or IGO tells me that I am...
I'm thinking about changing my device as nobody seems to know the cause of this...
So, I wonder if Rapheal has the same issue or not...
HastaSSSS
Here's what i tested for you on the way to work...
Using TomTom6 (6.032), driving at 30mph, using the tip if the blue arrow as my position (same as i always used on TytnII) i would say my car was no more than 5m behind were i should be. No issue going down the right road or turn.
Same situation as johnk1973. No 50 meters lag, but aprox. 5 meters.
Same problem here on Raphael, TT7 is 50 meters behind. Will test it tonight if it also occurs with TT6.
Same here with tt7 and igo8....
Now this is going to get complicated....
I had Diamond before and NEVER experienced GPS lag.
I tried almost every official and cooked ROM and had no problems with GPS.
Recently I switched to Raphael....
And guess what... GPS lag !
I used my Diamond and Raphael in identical conditions, with the same app (iGO 8).
I'll try to test it more.
I'll post if I find anything useful to you.
Cheers,
Sh*t...that means Raphael is a "no go" for me...
Unless we solve the problem...whatever it might be...
Please keep on posting your findings about this issue...I like very much Diamond and Diamond Pro....but I'm not willing to have a device without 100% functionality...
HastaSSSS
I have a Touch Pro with iGo8 installed. I realised this "50m lag" on my business trip this Monday but I thought it was due to the speed of the car (I was driving very fast for the most of the time). Now I see the problem might be a little more complicated.
On the other hand the 50m is not so bad - I never had a wrong turn, the acoustic signalization of iGo8 is very good. Nevertheless, I would be glad if this could be fixed...
And another thing - I'm not sure if you are aware of the charging problem while using GPS. My Touch Pro actually stopped charging because of overheating and was running only on the battery. So be aware of this fact too.
But this is a different issue, I'm sure there is a thread for this.
I dont have the problem with TT6.
I second this issue, both with TT7 and IGO8 (haven't tried it with another one yet)
Guys I had GPS lag on TT7 when I fist used it (Only tried it for 5min) it was awful. Mainly everytime I turned a corner whilst driving.
Then I did the following changes:
\start\settings\system\external GPS -> Set GPS Program port COM4; Hardware NONE; Access Manage GPS automatically.
Hit ok, wait 10 secs, switch off the device and then soft reset.
Now go to TT7 change the GPS prefences, to use bluetooth device and selected COM4.
No my GPS is perfect now, no problems at all. Have tried it with two different ROMs and no problems.
I have TT7 installed on the main memory and the maps on an Sandisk 8GB Class 4 SDHC card.
Radio ROM is 1.02.25.19 if that helps? and AGPS is turned on a up-to-date.
BTW it was exactly the same when using google maps.
Did you also try it by just setting tomtom gps to bluetooth? I'll give that a shot anyway before going into the register... tnx for the tip
Please keep in mind that you'll get an update of your past position only once per second. This means: The faster your velocity the more inexact the position will be, because the distance you'll pass in this second becomes longer and longer:
@30kmph: ~8m
@50kmph: ~14m
@80kmph: ~22m
@100kmph: ~27m
@130kmph: ~36m
Additionally there is the inaccuracy which comes with GPS: In good times you may have ~10m divergence on average. But with weaker signal (which one may have driving in a city) it will become even more. So keep in mind that GPS will tell you, where you've been one second ago (plus the divergence).
By the time I get my Diamond Pro, I'll collate this at the same time with my X500, which has a build in Sirf3 receiver.
I am having a slightly different issue with my TP using iGuidance 4. Although the unit aquires a signal faster than any other device I have used in the past, it seems to lag or freeze as I drive. It will not update the time, speed or position unless I press a button or something on the screen. There is another thread on XDA (I think in the Diamond or Kaiser sections) that claims to have solved this issue, but the fix doesn't work on my Touch Pro (in fact it completely freezes my iGuidance requiring a soft reset).
Hi,
I'm using Ndrive and TomTom 7.
on NDrive I don't have any problem, it's fast.
on TomTom is slow..
I thing the problem is on TomTom using this GPS of Raphael.

these settings are the settings that are preset. Hence nothing changed. the lag on the diamond is bad but this is awful.

Using Igo8 very intensively with my TP, no lag at all. Compared it this morning with my VW passat stock nav system, and again, i notice no lag.
I have the settings in the posts above, and have very little lag. I am using QuickGPS instead of AGPS, but all else is the same. My main probklem is how long it takes to get a lock (much longer than on my old Kaiser), but since installing DCS's ROM and doing a hard reset immediately after that does seem to have improved - I often get a lock from cold within a minute now..
Rowan
I believe the reason that some people are getting horrible GPS lag while others get nothing has to do with the Radio ROM versions that came installed with the device. Most custom ROMS don't update the Radio ROM. It's 12am and I'm posting this from my TP, so I'll just tell you that the Radio thread is stickied in the Raphael ROM dev forum.

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC Touch Pro since october 2008 but are still unable to use the gps with google maps.
Google maps is preinstalled on my device but can never use the gps to locate my position.
Now I heart something about unlocking your gps of you htc touch pro before you can use your gps in google maps.
This is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490400
I don't know if this is suitable for my HTC Touch Pro too.
I hope somone can help me.
Thanks a lot!

what rom are you running right now? Assuming you're using a GSM phone, I doubt verizon's method would work for you. Try flashing a new rom.
Rom version: 5.05.404.1 NLD
There is no newer rom version.
I bought my HTC Touch Pro without a carrier, so my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked.
But I can't use my GPS with applications as Google Maps as long as my GPS is locked.
But I don't know if I can use the fix which is discribed in the link I placed.
In GoogleMaps: Menu > Use satellite...
and wait for a fix... (could last up to 4-5mn depending on reception conditions)
But before, check in GoogleMaps options that you have let Windows to handle (integrated) GPS.
Yea it sounds ass backwards, but what he said is true. If your turning it on hitting gps and you get nothing,, thats about right. Wait a bit and see what happens. I use my phone for geocaching almost daily, and am running the stock att rom. My gps works perfectly besides the fact that it takes around 30 secs to lock. However trying to run (most) third party apps WITHOUT googlemaps running first. It will just sit there all day and never get gps. (depends what program were talking about but most will never get lock until google maps is running)
what radio are you on?
Also, I had a terrible time getting a GPS lock with Google Maps on my unbranded Touch Pro.
Recently I downloaded the latest version from www.google.co.up/gmm (think that's right enter it into your Opera browser) and it has improved tremendously. No GPS locks a lot faster - less than 30 seconds, whilst previously it would take minutes or not at all.
Try downloading a newer version and see how that helps.
Thanks!
All of you!
I download a new version of Google Maps and installed it.
After that I set all the properties the same as I had under Start>Settings>System>GPS.
And after about 20 seconds I had a fix and it worked.
(and this was in house)
Now just at the street I get a fix in about 5 seconds and I have a log of zero until one.
So thanks all!

Hi pedro! Is this version of garmin working properly in your td2 ?
Im having screen freeze problems while moving with or without destination and even with a simulated route. The app still works, if I zoom in or out, it starts moving again, and while freezed I can si my actual speed too.
Also noticed a 40 meters lag to my actual position.
What is your experience ?
Thanks.

Garmin is working properly on the TD2 but Garmin is superslow. I don't understand how Garmin could be de market leader of the US. maybe their PNA versions works flawlesly, but the mobile version is useless.
yeah, seems so in my TD2, although in my previous N95 I didnt notice this issues.
Also I wonder if im the only one with this problems, because I see so many people saying they are using this app, and nobody is talking about this freezing problem. The few threads I've found are realy old.
Just use g-confiq app and ur problem will solved ... Like mine ... Hehe ...

Hi,
I think it works properly, no freeze, but it quite (very) slow. Im using it for hiking, so I dont mind the slowness so much. But for car navigation its really useless...
Yes, the screen rendering is pretty slow in 3D mode.
But if you change to 2D mode (Plan view), then it's better and there isn't so much lag. I use if for in-car navigation and use 2D (Choose "Track Up") and it's OK though a Garmin PND would work much better. But then you can't use Google local search etc. and it isn't always in your pocket...or store GPS locations of you WinMo Contacts.
I moved from a Polaris (qvga) to Topaz (wvga) and I find Garmin XT renders the active route lines too narrow...there are dlls specific to wvga that got installed but I guess the pixel density wasn't sufficiently considered. Of course you can see a lot more on the Topaz but everything's a lot smaller unless you set a more zoomed in view.
Cheers
Garmin mobile xt 5 on my wife's TD2 works fine. infact it tracks and refreshes better than my Nuvi 200, which is a p.o.s. to begin with. The TD2 is using Asian ROM (coz that's where we are), dunno if that makes a difference.
BTW, thanks for the G-config. not only is it good for Garmin but pretty much any other app out there. Real handy. Cheers.

I've been using Garmin XT from v4.x in my old P1i (with BT GPS), now I'm using v5.20w in my Fuze and also use v5.20 in my wife's Nokia N85.
What i noticed to far is that rendering 2d&3d in the QVGA Symbian phones works OK, but the VGA WinMo version is (as I read in other posts) not only slow to render but also goes about 40 meters behind the actual position.
Whenever going faster than 80 km/h (in a highway of course) i see Garmin crossing streets 2 o 3 seconds AFTER I actually passed through them.
As a placebo try using it in 2D with minimal map details.
As for the hangups I can tell I do have them every ones in a while, not very often though.

Whenever going faster than 80 km/h (in a highway of course) i see Garmin crossing streets 2 o 3 seconds AFTER I actually passed through them.
As a placebo try using it in 2D with minimal map details.
As for the hangups I can tell I do have them every ones in a while, not very often though.

I've the same problem as well, which is inconvenient because you need to constantly check the upcoming turns.
Workaround for Garmin XT freezing
Hi I had freezing problems with this latest version of XT running on my O2 Stellar. It drove me nuts so I eventually emailed Garmin. They repied on 4th.Dec.09 saying it is a known bug with the speed camera database, see verbatim extract from Garmin email below ;
GARMIN replied : 'Unfortunately this is an issue that we are currently aware about and in the process of fixing. This problem is down to the Safety Camera proximity warnings around particular areas. For a temporary fix you will need to disable the Safety Cameras on your device you would go in to tools, settings, proximity points then disable the safety cameras.'
I have disabled speed cameras as it says and it has not frozen since.
Lets hope they update the software with a fix

@shimmer401
Install the BsBTweaks cab file. Run BsBTweaks. Soft button "Menu" below right. Select "Rotation" from drop down menu. Click soft button "Option" and select "Add Application" from drop down menu. Click "OK" at prompt and it will take you to program list. Choose Garmin Mobile XT icon. After GarminMoXT runs, shake the phone a few times until a prompt saying that GarminMoXT has been added to BsBTweak. Soft-reset and you are done.
I'm Using the ATT Tilt 2 AKA Touch Pro 2. And I barely get any freezing issues. It works great on my phone, a bit slow, but its quick enough for the upcoming turns even in 3D mode. I hope that Garmin still does come out with a fix for the slow visual graphical probs.
