Hey there. First time I've started a thread in here in a while but these 2 issues have been plaguing me for quite some time... Ever since I've been using Comm5 builds as a matter of fact.
For my first issue - I have a visual glitch in my phone canvas(See screenshot below) that has really started to IRK me.
Facts:
WM Version:
Code:
WM6.5.5 Build 23563
Phone Canvas Build:
Code:
PACKAGE_LEO_TMOUS_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_62120113626_0
Device:
Code:
You guessed it.. T-Mobile HD2
I've also attached the phone canvas itself so you can look at the actual files I'm using.
Now for the second issue - When I go to add a new task that has to have a start/due date assigned to it, I can't select a new date. I click on the date box and it auto-fills but doesn't let me actually use the date picker or the WM Calendar Popup box. In essence, I can't actually set dates for my Tasks when I need to add them. This would be much less of an issue if there was a better 3rd party tasks application available but sadly as of right now there isn't one so I really need the WM tasks app fixed.
As I'm sure you might have already guessed from either my signature or the first half of this post, I'm using the 23563 build from Da_G's thread.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
DH
Bumping this. Still have the problems and still seeking an answer.
+1 on not being able to set start / due date for tasks.
the date entry looks like it is selected, and one expects a date picker to popup, but nothing.
Bumping again. Still seeking a fix for the phone canvas and tasks in WM6.5.5 build 23563.
Bumping this again... Please help. The Tasks issue isn't nearly as important as the phone canvas glitch but honestly they're both driving me crazy...
I'm really desperate to get this fixed... I've searched for almost a week now and exhausted all my resources to find what is causing this issue.
Hi there friend,
Try HTC's website for downloads on your phone they have tons of bug fixes available. Some reason they only have the downloads available on the backdoor europe side, but looks like same phone - so at least it can point you in right direction.

Thanks for the tip. I just checked that link and unfortunately none of the fixes available on their site are relevant to my issue.
@everyone else - Still seeking a fix.
hi. Finally found a working alternative for the buggy tasks in 6.5.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591794
works with the built in tasks, so they sync as normal with outlook, and since i am using cookies home tab mod, i can alter the default program to open when i click on a task to be this rather than the built in tasks.
Not ideal, i would have preferred to fix it, (i tried by cooking in an older version of tasks.exe and tasks.dll, but no joy) but better than no start/due time for tasks!

Curious to know if there is a program that will enable the press of button (icon) to perform a couple of tasks such as:
1. not to turn off after a time limit and
2. leave the back light on.
Would be useful when reading eBooks and then simply press the icon to go back to the original settings.
Generally I would recommend Mortscript for macros and scripting, but keeping the backlight on etc - why not just extend your settings > power > backlight timeout? I never have this problem reading books.
However, I've written a research app called VJElectrify (search on the board for info about it) that would do what you asked for. But I'm sure there are better solutions.
V
Hi Vjay, did a quick search but didn't find much. Are you able to PM me VJElectrify?
The reader I'm using is Mobibook which has the autoscroll feature. Unfortunately because your not pressing the page up/down it auto shuts off.
Thanks in advance.
PS I like your togglenew program. Would be great if the keyboard icon would disappear though. Keep it up.
Regards Paul
frigit: what OS are you using? VJElectrify is currently Universal only, but it could be rewritten I guess.
ToggleNew must be quite an old version, I don't think the newer one had that bug anymore.
Can you read through this thread until you find an updated beta?

Thanks for the prompt reply Vijay.
I have the XDA O2 mini. (WM2003se)
I have just downloaded the 23 October 2005 beta version. Is that the most up to date? Sorry I can't remember which one I originally downloaded. Paul
I think that's correct... tell me how it looks.
There will be a new version coming out at some point soon.. when I get some time!
VJElectrify is really only WM5 test code right now, it's designed to be obtrusive since it keeps your screen and battery running. It could be made to work on Wm2003se, but you'd be much safer just increasing your backlight timeout. If you really want it, let me know, but I'd rather not put it out yet, it's too alpha..

CHEFS: Disregard what I said below. I'm not convinced this is an issue in the ROMs after all. At least not yet. Mods, feel free to move this to the regular Raph forum or wherever's appropriate. Still investigating ...
-----
Hey Chefs -- Looks like at least some ROMs floating around are missing the latest Daylight Savings information. I discovered it using Proven, but since you guys build on one another's work, I'd be surprised if it's not in some of the other ROMs too.
Fix is here:

WM6.1 roms have this build in. That fix was from wm 5 and 6.
This is the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 (Pocket PC and Smartphone) update to address DST related issues in 2008 due to revised Daylight Saving Time laws in many countries.

That's what I thought, but the issue I described with my scheduling problem was indeed fixed by installing it.
Maybe something in my setup is an anomoly -- can any one else check on their post-March 8 events and see if they have a similar problem? And then see if this fixes it? It likely only comes up if you create an event in a system that knows the correct DST, then sync it to your phone.
It's possible that my DST information was overwritten somehow by some other software I've installed, but I can't think of what. I'll experiment after a hard reset and see if I get the same problem.

It is possible the fix was accidently removed from you rom. Or an older file was used for compatibility.
Stranger and stranger. The issue came back. Reinstalled the cab, it was fixed. Then it came back again (not sure if a soft reset triggered it, or possibly a sync with nuevasync). So probably not a ROM issue after all. I'd invite any mod to move this thread somewhere more appropriate. Still investigating ...
yupp i just looked at mine and it seems to have the same issue. I'm running RRE V4.4
edited
could have happened through outlook sync
I appear to have solved, or at least worked around, this issue by turnign off the option to change time zones and clocks in settings-personal-phone-time zones.
I imagine this is either: Something screwy with AT&T, or an unanticipated issue with AT&T's US settings and the ROM, since the ROM wasn't built specifically for the US (but certainly works on US devices).
I'd also guess that these events might correct themselves once we're actually in the DST period, but appear wrong until then. Probably because AT&T would compensate for the DST on its official clocks, as not all phones are smart enough to just work with the GMT behind the scenes and adjust appropriately.
However, just like before when I "fixed" it with the cab -- timed events have been corrected to their right times. Existing all-day events remain on the wrong day. New all-day events show up on the correct day.
If you believe something is missing from a rom, please post it in the thread for that rom so the chef would actually see it.
I -think- I finally found more on this:
It seems to come up if the phone is both:
1) Set to get Time Zones and clocks from the carrier
AND 2) If the registry setting to automatically change over for DST is turned off (this can be found in the misc. section of Advanced Config).
At least, this combo seems to cause it on AT&T.
If I'm not mistaken, these are both the default settings in the ROM I've been using.
It would come up if you create a time after the DST switchover (March 8) in something that syncs with the phone (in my case, my google calendar). You'd see the entry on the phone be one hour too early after it syncs.
Just a note: I'm still testing to make sure this is really the issue, but it seems to be bearing out so far.
Hi ladies and gentlemen
Most importantly, does anyone have new ROM to recommend? cooked or stock, whatever as long as stable, i.e. it could pick-up incoming call without HANGING.
BTW, is this P552w codename "Galaxy Mini2". Found allot of 'thai / india" site talking about it but don't understand.
currently using ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509548
Was OK to begin with then same problems appear later on, i.e. can't pick-up incoming call. The stupid ASUS P552w HANGS.
stock V5.4's radio is sucking power, hence life short, then Asus release V5.12 with upgraded radio firmware/protocol and solve the battery short life-span problem, but daily usage stability is extremely bad. Nearly everyday have to soft-reset.
backlight flicker and is unstable. Checked 4 other units from the shop, all same problems.
HK Asus Service Centre changed the screen for me in 24hours, was fine then problems occurs but not as much anymore. Found a permanent BLUE dot but dissapppeared just before I took it in for repair - dam !!!
Mapking's GPS to identify current position takes 3 mins to lock-on is it Mapking of this phone?
HTC Home version 2.1.1.005.772 for today installed OK, but does not work - any good advice??
SCLPC++ 3D version 0-051 Cube 4-sides installed OK, but does not work - any good advice ??
FTouchFLO 1.4.1 installed OK, but screen calibration does not start at all, then force RUN - HANGS - any good advice??
FTouchFLOR configurator installed OK, operates well, but no effect, cube does not pop up.
Overclocking does not work from XPUScaler, HomeScreen, 9000 Turbo, freeclock10d, speed v11, tornado power control. Any good advice???
Thanks to all in advance.
Update ROM again from http://all-cooked.blogspot.com/
Yesterday used the 21502 version - it does not have Asus Today and no Asus GLIDE. Even faster response due to less items. Tested allot of 3rd party software on it, many wrong settings done, hence
This morning update to 21231_WM7_titanium, matching with HomeScreen ++ UI Clock as today and clone HTC cube by SCLPC++ , launching via left soft key. Haven't found application to allow sweep up to trigger the cube to start. Also does not have Asus Today and Asus GLIDE.
FTouchFlo seems not compatible.
Anyway have overclocking software to recommend?
Anyone how to enable HTC Home version 2 on this P552w ????
Anyone have clone HTC Home to recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Asus GLIDE soul dead, vampired by HTC ~~~~~~
feel like an idiot now, but what the heck, report for sharing
original HTC Home version 2 working from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322439
well well well .....
original HTC Cube working partially from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336482
problem now is touch_screen too sensitive, can't scroll, due to FTouchFlo. Haven't found a suitable / matching setting yet.
original CUBE is able to appear via flick up, but very difficult due to wrong screen sensitivity. CUBE also closed down, but does not flip left and right, probably due to sensitivity issue I guess.....
both not full-proof yet, some missing links / bug where icon taps not dissappearing or whatever.
most probably not the software, but me
installed and uninstalled countless stuffs and times, many simpler buttons and link not working already, hence probably registry screwed up badly by me.
Plan to revert to ROM of 21502 version - it does not have Asus Today and no Asus GLIDE. And no msg appear after every reboot saying read the mort something. No many other background themes wasting space and file search time.

ROM 21502 has a bug, outlook email and sms does not work
reverted to 21501 since 11th July.
But ROM 21501 has another bug, Alarm not showing saturday - hahahahahaha
anyway, all in good fun I suppose.
Still can't get HTC Cube to work properly. Entire touch screen becomes too sensitive and every single apps open with the slightest of slide up.
Cube is extremely difficult to launch, 1 in every 50 of so
Saturday not showing in alarm is not ROM bug, is SPB mobile shell bug. Happens on ELF Onyx 5 beta 44 as well.

Started using ABM30's 1st August release of 23016 for P552w. Nice Win7 spalsh start up, no more mortscript click OK every turn-on, everything else seems fine.
I still have unstable issue, I start to suspect it's the hardware. I used to keep "turbo" for CPU, now reverted back to "automatic" and seems to have more stability.
update more later.
Conclude ABM30 28011 MegaNIGHT ROM perfectly stable
Hi guys,
Just for sharing, incase someone wants to know if there was ever a conclusion to this topic's title. Yes, finally a perfect no bug stable rom found for incoming calls and others..... at least for me anyway.
Thanks to ABM30's release of CE5.2.28011 MegaNIGHT with Manila2D. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524607
Before you flash:
understand the risks, ideally have flashed roms before, have hspl and spl 3.7, maybe not ideal for people who use it daily as a first or only device due to possibilities of things not working straight out of the box.
New Download:

A lot of changes addressed, I believe there may still be issues with the camera though
***Please note this is a test build(not Tested) do not complain if you brick your device, I welcome feedback good or bad but please respect the amount of time it takes me to cook these ROMS, if something doesnt work be patient as I have a full time job and a family that come first***

If there is no interest I will still build one for you 2 to test, and we can see where we go from there. Hopefully have something for you for tonight or tomorrow depending if I can sort out the problems with my kitchen
Hello I would be a tester but the problem is I don't have a original WM6.1 Dutch rom so I can't reverse to original if i want to.
I heard HTC wil come with an update when this happens it is possible for me to test roms till then i will stick to the original rom.
got experience of rom flashing with wizzard, Iphone and a MIO A701.

Maybe I Can be a backup tester
I plan to flash in the next few days, but I'm not experienced with this. But I have read up on the subject for some time now so I've read about the things which go wrong from time to time and I'm aware of the risks. Be glad to help out though, i'm sick of my beloved x7510 being so sluggish
I will be your tester. Hope your rom work well
Just flash your lastest build rom. Your Roms is not for X7510. The flash errors occurs

Heck yes I still want the ROM!! I'm always interested and once we work out the bugs, I'm sure everyone will be on board. I'm willing to help out wherever I can with this and if it means walking me through the kitchen and creating the .nbh then I'm game still.
Just my two cents...lol
will try and put a beta together when i get home from work probably be around 1am gmt, will pm download link to beta testers and update here and twitter when its up
Its done Beta1.01, links to download sent to selected beta testers, please do not publicly post download link until tested fully and I release a version for general release, feel free to post feedback here.
BETA testers, make sure you are on SPL3.5!!!!!
Try out as much as you can and then report back any issues etc, please try not to request things that are available via cab install as its not worth me installing specific software etc at the cost of module space in the native kernel. This rom should be very quick due to modifications to the space used in slot 0 of the native 6.1 memory kernel(0 modules). Also please be aware that some issues may be down to me using a leaked beta from MS and I may not be able to change some things.

6.5 Beta Issues:
1. The memory allocation sucks badly. Only 30mb left for program memory. This is a problem for running other programs or simutanious ones. There also appears to be a memory leak because the memory is going down slowly. A soft reset takes care of this for a little time.
2. Audible manager does not work. My personal feeling is take it out, never use it anyway.
3. Some of the icons do not render well. I would be more than happy to create a couple for you to insert in there place: Comm Manager, Clear Storage, Backlight and others. Not smooth on the edges.
4. G sensor works well, but again, not really a use for it. I would add it as an extra .cab to install for an additional cab package.
5. Real VGA - Another personal preference. Although I don't mind it being there.
6. VueFlo - Really? Wow, haven't seen that in a while and haven't tried it yet.
7. The Calculator wants to be in portrait mode at all times. Not a big issue, but I usually never use my device in portrait mode.
8. The ROM is fast, actually blazin fast for 6.5. I'm still trying to get use to the bottom bar but I do believe I'm stuck on 6.5 now. Very stable rom and runs without any hiccups.
9. SMS text received. When you click on notification and it opens the sms, it doesn't mark it as read. You have to click on it or scroll up onto it with the arrow keys for it to appear read and then no new messages waiting to be read.
10. The dialer....strange. I don't know if you have added a new one or if it is a component of the new 6.5. It does not render properly in portrait mode and the names/numbers on the left of the dial pad is very annoying. You cannot read the full name of the contact that comes up. The dial pad is not all the way on the screen. You can see the right numbers are a little off the screen.
11. Quickmenu - Don't understand why that was incorporated. The x doesn't close even though quickmenu is set up to close it.
12. While in the sms/text screen to read or create a text, when the phone rings, the caller id does not pop up. That is a bad one for me. I like to see who is calling before I answer...lol.
13. The Comm Manager isn't the normal one. I understand the quickness of it, but I prefer the original style. No issues with bluetooth or connection to the internet via media net.
I do believe that is it right now. I would literally call it a RC version. You did a great job, but like I said, the memory consumption is to much/great to be used heavily. I'll look forward to your next release.

This in the dump from the original rom, I will remove at some point but involves digging into OEM files, will do this when closer to full release
7. The Calculator wants to be in portrait mode at all times. Not a big issue, but I usually never use my device in portrait mode.
Think I removed this calc but not sure now
8. The ROM is fast, actually blazin fast for 6.5. I'm still trying to get use to the bottom bar but I do believe I'm stuck on 6.5 now. Very stable rom and runs without any hiccups.
I recmod a lot of modules meaning that memory slot0 has zero modules in leaving it free for just the device kernel
9. SMS text received. When you click on notification and it opens the sms, it doesn't mark it as read. You have to click on it or scroll up onto it with the arrow keys for it to appear read and then no new messages waiting to be read.
Maybe a feature of 6.5 **not addressed in this build**
10. The dialer....strange. I don't know if you have added a new one or if it is a component of the new 6.5. It does not render properly in portrait mode and the names/numbers on the left of the dial pad is very annoying. You cannot read the full name of the contact that comes up. The dial pad is not all the way on the screen. You can see the right numbers are a little off the screen.
**possibly due to the build having the bigger bottom taskbar, cant remember if I included advanced config, if I did disable the phone skin, if not search for advanced config and disable**
11. Quickmenu - Don't understand why that was incorporated. The x doesn't close even though quickmenu is set up to close it.
**Removed I think**
12. While in the sms/text screen to read or create a text, when the phone rings, the caller id does not pop up. That is a bad one for me. I like to see who is calling before I answer...lol.
**Not address yet, but may be fixed through other changes, please report back**
13. The Comm Manager isn't the normal one. I understand the quickness of it, but I prefer the original style. No issues with bluetooth or connection to the internet via media net.
**Removed, back to original**

I appreciate the fixes and await the release for download and install. I did do some research and the 0409 and other res are an integral part of the new 6.5. I found this weird because of the consumption it takes up in windows, but what do you do. Let me know what size icons you need and I'll fix the ones up and shoot them over to you. If it comes down to it, I'll strip the original and replace it with a doctored up one.

I found this weird because of the consumption it takes up in windows, but what do you do. Let me know what size icons you need and I'll fix the ones up and shoot them over to you. If it comes down to it, I'll strip the original and replace it with a doctored up one.

Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.
im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.
Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.
He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news
Wifi doesnt work

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.
seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > Access Point Names > press menu and add one with your settings for your provider
