Lets share tips for freeing magician's main memory instead of replacing with 128...
Whats Ur tip ?
Here's mine:-
1. Learn how to use the built in applications to their max before adding 3rd party software.
2. Don't load anything into Main Memory that you can avoid. Use Storage and Storage Card instead.
3. Eye Candy = Memory Bloat. A recent Unit Conversion programme I tried needed 1.8MB FFS. A freeware equivalent which is just as functional but without the candy takes just 39K. Learn to live without it.
4. If you haven't used an app in the past month, delete it.
5. Delete programs that you only use to show others how cool your Jam is.
6. After a couple of months with the Jam, make a list of all software installed. Award points for the number of times you've used each app, and how inconvenienced you would have been if it wasn't there. Backup and Hard Reset. Install only those apps which got high use and inconvenience scores. This also gets rids of all the DLL junk that trial programs put in \Windows.
Do a full backup before first!
1. Use WinCE Cab manager to modify the installation path of CAB file before installation of the program. U could remove unnecessory file inside the cab too. (Some exe installation actually put the cab in yr desktop's C:\Program files or C:\program fies\MS Activesync, modify it w/ WinCE Cab manager before actually install the program to yr pda)
2. Use Memmaid (need $) or SystemPath (freeware) to move some DLLs to storage or SD card.
The following better do it w/ Resco File Explorer w/ "hide files in rom" so U know better what U can delete:
3. Some software (Resco file explorer, Pocket plus) leaves some "help wizard" graphic files in Windows directry after installation. Use yr photo album to screen and remove them
4. Many html help files in Windows and Windows\help can be remove safely if U never look at them before. (I wonder anyone ever look at them)
5. Remove unnecessory or unuse templates and file in MyDocuments
Even though I got a lot of software installed (including the MS Voice Command installed in Storage) . I still get 35mb of main memory left.
I cancel the extended Rom install then just install what I wanted. the patches and configuration Cab I installed. But I did not install fax software Caller ID etc which I never use. wow now I have a lot of main memory

How can you choose which apps to be installed? I don't want thw fax and intellipad...
Do a hardreset ( Softreset and on key ) .. and when U have set up the PPC .. and it says tap on screen .... U just do a PIN reset ( soft reset ) so it dont install the Extrom software.. after the softreset .. its a clean 2003 SE ..
U then use fileExplorer to install whats in the now visible External rom.
I didnt install any intelli stuff on my s100 and gained almost 2mb just on that. ..

Can I extract the Caller ID and install it separately...cause I use it, but I do not use other apps in my rom?...
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. If is some other apps like Caller ID I could use instead of CID?...pls suggest...
yes you can. it is in another thread here in this forum.
after hard reset and first time setup (set location, calibrate screeen) you will be prompted that setup is complete tap screen to continue. after you tap the screen perform a soft reset this will stop the auto install and you can choose what you want to put on your device by looking at EXT ROM folder. I've just finished hard resetting and have opted not to install JAVA midlet manager, Caller ID, and Fax. saves a lot of mem i think.
the only thing i installed on main memory is resco explorer, omegaone batt pack pro, sbsh pocketbreeze and pocketweather (3 out of 4 are today plug-ins and I wanted them to load faster) I have my tones in 'Storage' instead of \Windows\Rings\
Find this freeware and install it: clearnotify_install
It removes a lot the crap that end up in memory in a soft reset. It added like 8MB of free main memory back for me.

U can use a very usefull calc program...1-calc (not free :roll: )...you can install it on the SD card!

p.s. bnycastro thx for the tip!
I transfer dll files from tha windows/appmgr folder and put them in the system folder in the storage card. Then change the values in the registry with resco. Works great.

Can U give me more instructions how to do that...pls :wink:
Do U have some problems....like apps not responding or sth else?...cause if U read in some other threads if U change the default ring dirctory to the SD card after a while it put back the default ring tone...from windows directory. Looks like the SD card when not used is put in like "sleep mode"... :roll:

i'm with primoz on this! how do you know which dll are safe to move? and how do you modify the apps to look at which dll???
also would like to streamline my JAM (did a hard reset this am and did not install EXT ROM stuff except MMS client and the patches) am using 8.82MB of RAM for storage.
I have bought tweaks2k2 and did the scan/move of dlls it only moved 1 dll. it said i could do it manually but am afraid.
Apps in Main Memory:
OmegaOne BattPack Pro
SBSH PocketBreeze (I know it is a bit big but it is a today plugin so I want it loading fast)
SBSH PocketWeather (Used to have this in SD but it was very slow, again this is a today plugin)
Resco Explorer (of course I wanted this in main so I can browse other cards)

bnycastro I have done a hard reset as said in this forum. Before I`ve got about 13megs of used ram for appz installed in main memory. After a hard reset I have about 8megs of used ram and I`m happy . Some appz have installed in to storage, other (larger) on the SD card. From the ext_rom I just installed the MMS and caller ID....and some patches (don`t know why they are needed). I would like to upgrade memory to 128mb...but is too expensyve...and the only company that performs this is too far away (France I think)...

Why Sprite at all if space is a consideration? Doesn't the Xbackup that comes with the Jam work for you? Ir does Sprite do anythign different?
primoz: we are on the same boat as they say. i also have done hard reset and now only installed patches and caller id (no dialer and other stuff). The 128mb ram upgrade is also avialable in the US but I am in the Philippines the shipping alone would be expensive!!!
skagen: spritepocket backup is the best backup utility out there imo. it has scheduled backups (i.e. my pocketpc is scheduled to backup every 3am) battery monitoring (i.e. my pocketpc will run a backup when my battery hits 25%--this is user defined), you can make self-restoring backups (just tap and it will restore even without the app installed) it is very powerful (you can choose what to backup/restore) and worth the $$. this app has saved me from alot of heartache and headache a couple of times already you should try it out xBackup is poo compared to this app.

All of the above can be put into the 7.6mb storage, including the various crap that Resco spews all over the Windows dir Use whereismyram to find which files in \Windows are in RAM, use systempath to create a dir in \Storage, and move pretty much everything. I've got tons of apps installed on mine, but only 1.5mb of stuff in RAM - everything else is in \Storage or the SD card.
Primez...
Anytime I install a new software I always choose to install into my 1GB SD Edge card. You can use Cab Manager if you want a more detailed result of what files go where, but I just search the registry with Resco Registry and change the paths to point to the storage card. dll files I purposely put in system folder. I've had a couple of problems with very minimal software such as batter back pro. But overall I have 85% of my software in Storage Card. Let's make this thread better, so that we can avoid upgrading to 128mb's. I have like 30 programs already and have 35 mb's of main memory left.
Look in Windows\AppMgr and copy a dll file into the system folder in the storage card, do not cut it. You can do same with Windows directory. Then change the value in the registry in every instance that you find it. Then soft reset the device to make sure you get no errors. Start the program and see if it works. If it does, delete the original dll file and do a soft reset. Try the program again. If it works you're good to go, if it doesn't then you found a toughy and move on. Remember to do full backups, if you do then you should not be scared to do anything for you can always restore.

what does the AUDIO tweak do?
bnycastro
if this is your today screen, it is amazing but strange i dont see many of the applications u mentioned in today screen! and strange after u insalled all this u still have 38 MB free! even when i dont have EXT. Rom installed i have 48 but after installing some applications it gets to be 35
tnx for the compliment I think you misunderstood my post a bit... as you can see I divided the apps/stuff to storage, sd card and main memory. the things you don't see (i.e. fast cleanup, maimach tel extender etc etc are on main memory not on the today screen).
My Today Screen has 4 items only (I'm a minimalist I guess)
#1 Date (in built)
#2 SBSH.net PocketBreeze 4.3 beta 5
#3 SBSH.net PocketWeather 1.00.15 beta (inside PocketBreeze as a tab)
#4 SPB PocketPlus 2.5
My Navigation Tray has
#1 Zendrui's PocketZenPhone
#2 Bluetooth (in built)
#3 Screen Rotation (in built)
With PocketBreeze you get 3 default tabs calendar, tasks, and special events. If you get ContactBreeze you get to see your contacts on your today screen as another tab and with v4.3 and up, you can add most today plugins (even from other companies) into PocketBreeze as an additional tab (so in total you can get 4 to 5 tabs it saves a lot of space... really great). www.sbsh.net
As for the Audio Tweak it enhances the speaker performance of the Magician (some devices have this set to a lesser priority and by using this you get better sound, if your device is already set to a high level you have no need for this)
As for my memory being 38MB I just soft reset my device before the screen shot so maybe that is why it is that high. Also my skins and themes (for today, pocketbreeze, and pocketweather are all in SD; the current ones are in main memory but my others are in SD), my tones are in storage. I guess it is a matter of file management. Some people even move their DLLs to Storage to free up even more memory.

Ya i know that but i meant items like: Handy Launcher and Pocket Weather (May be u used it in cutom tab of Pocket Breeze)
I have somehow the Same interface like yours, but without Pocket Plus ( cause it has conflick with Calligrapher) and With Extra Others like:
- EGRESS, as cutom Tab
- Ptravel Alarm
- Kbattery

i do the same already and have 48 MB of space, but after installing some apps i loose it although i install most of the pplaications, even the ones that use today screen, on Storage and not on Main memory.

This is exactly what I did, PocketWeather is my 4th tab in PocketBreeze. I did not put the Handy Launcher Icon on the Navigation Tray Since I want a clean looking Today.

What does the Date/Time hack do exactly?
The default for pocket pc is you have the time on the upper right hand side of the Start Menu Bar this hack adds a date to that. A few apps also do this (omegaone's batt pack pro and wisbar).
That's cool. Saves me another line on the Today screen!
Good one!

Moved all help files to Storage Card (to save RAM)
Moved Caller ID Pics (made my own gifs for groups) to Storage
Moved Templates for the Camera and MMS Apps to Storage
Deleted/Moved all crap installed by IA Caller ID and MMS
Also with u haveing changed the ringtone location to the storage do you find it slows the jam down at alll?
Thanks in advance

I tried this hack, like a million times... and it deos not work completely....
If my device is turned off... or I use the alarm.... the phone goes back to (windows defult ) ring tone...
any ideas????
thanx in advance :wink:
@J273: This is really easy to do. Anyway here goes. I am using Resco Explorer 2003. - with hide hidden files... and hide files in ROM setting checked.
Moved all help files to Storage Card (to save RAM) - goto \Windows then Sort by Type then scroll to files with *.htm as extension select them, cut and paste to desired location.
Moved Caller ID Pics (made my own gifs for groups) to Storage - in IA Caller ID Tools>Options>General>Storage Path for re-sized Photos: just choose \Storage
Moved Templates for the Camera and MMS Apps to Storage - Checking under \My Documents\Templates and \My Documents\UAContents\Templates\ you will see the templates for both Camera and MMS you can move these or delete these as well. I don't use MMS Templates and rarely use Picture Themes so I moved these as well.
Deleted/Moved all crap installed by IA Caller ID and MMS - Again after a hard reset (and installing stuff from ExtROM) you will notice alot of RAM is already in use. If you check the ff folders you will see alot of stuff that is pretty much useless. \My Documents\UAContents\Templates\ and \My Documents\My Pictures and even \My Documents (I think a wav file some 3gp and a midi file is installed by MMS) anyway you can go ahead and move these or delete these stuff as well.
Ah also remember to set your photos and videos storage to a Storage Card instead of Main Memory. (sometimes we forget this after a hard reset :roll: )

Move DLL to storade/storage card
Hi to all
How we can move DLL to storage/storage card.
I think that is very important to speak about ways of recover space in main memory.
Thanks to all
Re: Move DLL to storade/storage card
There is a registry setting to specify to use other locations (eg /Storage) to store system DLL files. Or U can use Memmaid to do it for U.

Hello,
I'm new with HTC devices, now I have a Trinity with Rom 1.15.405.
My old device was an Eten M600. Well, even if the Cpu is the same, I feel a bad performance on all gui operations, such as menu opening, tapping reactions, keyboard response...
Is this normal? Any hope it can be fixed in next roms?
Possible fix
I too have a Trinity for some weeks now and I understand what your saying this is possibly todo with the ROM on the device i.e it's still needs fine tuning and performance should improve with each subsequent ROM update - I hope!
Try using a registry hack to improve performance... just a suggestion but try using the following file - definately helped with mine.
This doesn't seen to help..
Another idea for you
I too am always on a mission to improve performance even if it isnt broken I try and fix it if you catch my drift, and have soft and hard reset my device over 200 times in the three weeks that I had it. So I have almost everything to improve performance generally. I found that installing the first file in the first post helped, try installing the attached file it contains alot of registry tweaks that I have played with and these have also helped further I would say it has improved general performance by around 20% and have made my Trinity a pleasure to use.
Turn on the following after you have installed it (you will need .Net Compact Framework installed as well to run this software):
0. Speed up the Display (this really works well)
1. Optimum Cache Size for WM5 (this really works well)
2. Increase the transfer rate in SD/MMC cards (this really works well)
3. Max TCP windows size
The rest are more general tweaks but add to the flavour...
4. Optimized cache option for Terminal Service Client
5. Smooth scrolling in Pocket Internet Explorer
6. Allows users to synchronize the device clock with NIST Internet Time Service (ITS).
7. Enable ClearType in Landscape
8. Wake Up PPC in full Power Mode (not sure about this one but won't hurt)
9. Disable Bitmap caching (not sure about this one but won't hurt)
10. Move PIE temp files to any of your storage cards
11. Animated Windows (this makes the GUI feel faster as you get some action)
NB. The trial Version will run 3 times enough to do your fixes but then you will need to buy it to further modify or revert to original settings.
Let me now what you think.
More tweaks not just for GUI but good performance
More general tweaks...
Make A2DP output stereo (joint stereo by default - why I wonder? well heaven knows) and change sound quality to excellent, these tweaks made a bloody big difference to listening to music via BT Headphones.
You can also unlock and mount the Extended ROM
Download and install the following (Hermes Registry Tweaker) - http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3311
I'm more and more disappointed by Trinity. Installation of Compact NET Runtime gives "out of memory", even if it seems to install anyway. I have 33 MB Storage and 17 MB Ram free memory after reboot (soft reset), no apps are running.
I tried a wmv video encoded with Pocket DVD on both Trinity and M600. Well, on the M600 it is much much smoother... My sister's K-Jam (Wizard) plays same video better than Trinity, even if it has only a 200 MHz cpu.
Hmmm curious
I have had most devices from HTC - and to be honest trinity has impressed me greatly, especially after all the tweaks.
My Trinity plays video encoded for 640x480 (vga screens with no issues it cuts straight through it) including Divx, Avi, Xvid, WMV using CorePlayer, I am suprised that you are having this problem.
Why don't you do a hard reset then install all your apps onto storage except for .NET CF. Then do all the tweaks I suggested I am hoping you then end up with one of the best windows Mobile 5 Devices out there with 3G.
Don't give up it wll be worth it - especially when they enable GPS as well.
I'm not alone:
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=3688.msg21932
Curious
I think I will run some benchmarks! Results posted very soon.
It has a desturbing sound on the higher tones and the bas is muffled. I tried the fit4 program and changed to the best quality, it sounded a little bit better but it was hard to hear, beacuse now the music skips even more thnat earlier. You know you ger music for a while, it cuts of for a second and then comes back. Now it does this every 5 seconds.
Very sad
Guys am I using the same device??? I don't have any of these problems apart from the occasional skip if I am surfing the NET!
ROM HTC__001 1.15.405.5
Trin100
I am baffled.
I'm attaching Spb Benchmark tests, go here to visualize them:

Strange... my trinity works perfect. Its fast and reliabel. What today Plug-ins do you use. On all my pocket pc I noticed that most of performance issues were caused by today plug ins. Remember: They are always running in background...

Will the fit4cat tweak enable a2dp stereo as well as improve the a2dp soundquality, or do I need another tweak for enabling the stereo?
Thanks!
Use this to enable True stereo!

Hi, here u go, use the attached file to enable TRUE stereo. Sounds much better. The fit4cat tweak just improves performance.
Thanks a lot, my friend! Much apprechiated.

i got this device yesterday.
what a performance
Try disabling the custom phone skin and use the standard OS skin. You'll lose caller prediction, but on the Universal (already a fast phone) it made a big difference.

How can I do this?
Hi people,
I have just got my new Touch Diamond 2 and it's beautiful. I have spent several days googling looking for the best place of expertese for tweaking and customising, and it seems this is the place. I have never owned a Windows Mobile device or a HTC before, but I'm PC savvy and I want to tweak my new phone.
Among other things, I want to:
Be sure my phone uses Wifi when available instead of contract internet
Tweak the TouchFLO home screen (including analogue clock and RSS)
Find a list of the best and/or most popular mods/software
Where do I start and what do I need!
Congratz
As I've heard and noticed from my own TD2 is that it always uses wifi over data. But if you really want to be sure you can disable Data Connection in the Communication tab whenever you want to surf.
You can also in All Settings => Personal => Buttons configure that long hold button disables Data Connection.
As for tweaking I would download Diamond Tweak and Advanced Config
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
http://montecristoff.webs.com/diamondtweak.htm
First law of windows mobile: keep the internal disk clean!
Install every new piece of software on the memory card.
For my TD2 I got a 16Gb microSD card and started with Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 to tweak all storage-related paths to folders I created on the memory card.
A good place to start looking for tools is freewarepocketpc.net. A lot of more than decent free applications. The ones you don't like can always be removed in settings/system/remove programs, and replaced by commercial tools.
I disagree.. I used to install everything on the external card; and found two major disadvantages:
- some app will run a lot slower!
- if you use your sd card to store music video and other stuff
you better not have to change it...
I m more inclined to install less apps that filling the memory card with it.
The main use I have for the memory card is to store backups, documents, music, and install cab files.

Yeah I saw those button settings but couldn't work out what they meant. What is this long hold button? Is it the dial button that if you hold puts it on speaker phone? And how would you configure it for disabling a data connection, I don't see and option that would allow this?
I have seen that freewarepocketpc website, and had a snoop around. I have an 8Gb card coming today (hopefully!) and I was waiting to get that to install software on it. I read that might slow down some apps, now I'm not so sure what to do. However I want to avoid installing a load of software to try it out, then uninstalling it. It is windows after all. That's why I wanted some recommended software from people on here.
Question: Will that configuration tool allow tweaking of the TouchFLO stuff? Has anyone changed the clock on the TouchFLO Home page thingy?
Thanks all for your help
You have to chose the tab "End Key" under the Button setting menu and then chose the "terminate data connection" option
Ahh I get it now, had a look at those keys thanks. Going to use Advanced Configuration Tool when I get my memory card (still not here yet!)
The best single piece of advice I can give any TD2 owner is to ditch TF3D and at least try living without it. Your rewards will be more available memory, faster operation, increased functionality, full use of applications' today screen plugins, less (or no) bugs, and the cost is it doesn't look as nice.
In a couple of months' time, WM6.5 will be out and then even the looks will be there.
After much research I have ditched TouchFLO and got SPB Mobile Shell 3. I keep hearing about bugs but I am yet to encounter one. I have to say that SPB Mobile Shell 3 is what I would have expected to have on a phone like this. TouchFLO looks good, and I have a friend that loves it, but you can't customise it very easily. Simply having the widgets in SPB Mobile SHell 3 makes it a better, mnore customisable and quicker interface.
I currently have Total Commander as an explorer replacement. I'm not sure if this is the best, but I have yet had time to do proper research. It's supposed to have a registry editor in there, but for the life of me I can't find it :/
Had some serious fun with video playback. I wanted to play full quality (not HD) dix files, DVD rips and the like. After much fun with different software I found that Coreplayer blows everything out of the water. My expectations had dropped about what I might be able to watch on my phone after having problems with other media players, but Coreplayer can play full movie DVD rips with no stuttering and it looks awesome.
Still some fun to be had tweaking, for example finding out if/how java stuff will work, trying to find something for email/sms, and some "cool" apps to impress my gran.
I'm no expert but purely from personal experience the first steps are:
1) Install Resco Explorer
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp
2) Install HTC hotfix for Diamond 2
(http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=563)
3) Install .NET Framework 3.5 (requirement for a bunch of 3rd party software)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en
4) Install SKTools (needed for many things but especially for next step)
http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_products.html#tools
5) Use SKTools to disable ActiveSync (results in huge improvement of battery duration)
5a) Disable the repllog.exe (which is the application behind ActiveSync) associated with ""AppRunAfterTimeChange"" in Notifications Queue
Alternative way is to install Dotfred's Task manager and kill repllog.exe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175757&postcount=50
5b) Follow the steps 1-7 in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288352
5c) Install eLiAs_ASyncKiller.cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3048077&postcount=40
6) Install HDTweak for various tweaks (eg for improvement of TouchFlo response)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505)
7) Install sdkcerts (needed for "cosmetic" interventions eg Hall Feica fonts in TouchFlo, slpashscreens, topbar etc)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3661976&postcount=80
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3861405&postcount=2
8) Install Diamond D3D Video drivers using the first attachment from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475493&highlight=ATI+3d+driver
Before installation download and run the fourth attachment (Lights.exe)
Install the drivers and then run Lights.exe again to see the huge improvement
9) Install G-Config (for forcing applications to go into landscape mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3848546&postcount=3
10) Enjoy your Topaz
P.S.: Backup your Contacts, Calendar etc frequently

According to htc europe:
If you move to the Settings tab in TouchFLO, the top part of the item descriptions under Communications (WiFi, Bluetooth, phone, data) are slightly cut off. If this happens, please download this hotfix to solve the problem.
So I think the answer is yes
Oops I forgot the very useful CleanRAM from htcaddicts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514333
I use its embedded scheduler so it runs automatically every 3 hours claiming back megabytes of RAM
Mark it as step 11

Double click on "\\Plugins" and you'll reach the hidden options including the registry editor. I've been using Total Commander for years on various ppcs, it's all you need for registry work.

Hiya, great post~!
I have the Diamond2 as well... wouldn't I want to install 'Diamond Tweak' instead of 'HD Tweak'? Are they essentially the same thing, or does HD Tweak offer more functionality for the Diamond2?
Cheers,
Diamond Tweak is for the older version of TouchFlo, use HD Tweak.
Since the Ozone Rom is only on one carrier, we should put together a list of items to include/exclude
Exclude:
Get Applications
Getting started
Modem Link
Remote Desktop
Visual Voice Mail
Mobile IM
Mobile Email
VZ Navigator
Include
WMWifiRouter
Thoughts?
Definately exclude all the bloatware from Verizon.
Including Google Maps, Microsoft MyPhone (Not sure if it is in 6.5 by default or not?), and maybe a few games that are good on standard. I also use Facebook, but that is a little more specialty along with Opera.
Lets get some ROMs cooking! I miss 6.5 on my Touch and can't wait to get it on my Ozone.
include :
-winmo 6.5 - A MUST!
-soft reset
-light dimmer
-titanium panels ( YUM YUM )
-custom graphics all around..icons, battery, signal..etc etc
-text msgs retry ( i actually like it )
-Net C.F. 3.5
-Skyfire
-mp3 trimmer
ur exclude list is perfecto!
as i think of more, ill def post in here!
I'd honestly like a rom with as little as possible added in.. I want to be able to install only the programs I would like. Kinda like a fresh install of windows desktop.
But in all honesty, I will be happy and will put in some donations to whomever creates a nice rom.
That exclude list is indeed perfect.
Perhaps it would be best to keep the essentials to the ROM that need to run from the main memory. Programs like google maps, youtube, facebook, and such can be added per the users discretion. Typically, I install all potentially heavy memory programs to the storage card.
1. Obviously WinMo 6.5 and all of its customizations.
2. I would like to see IE6 cache moved to the Storage Card.
3. An upgrade to Mobile Office (create new documents and copy and paste). Not sure if that is possible. Alternative would be adding Documents to Go.
4. Internet Sharing or WMWifiRouter.
5. Total Commander or Resco Explorer.
6. PHM Registry Editor.
7. Soft Reset Button.
To me, that would be the basics. Anything else could be added by the user later to their particular needs.
I'd like to keep:
**Visual Voicemail
**Remote Desktop
**Quick GPS
Internet Sharing
HTC Audio Booster (a more universal equalizer would be better though, not something just shackled to the headset)
Office Mobile w/ OneNote
the current Com Manager skin (its nice, but hey, as long as the new one is functional, I won't complain any)
MP3 Trimmer
Speed Dial
HTC Voice Recorder
HTC Video Recorder
HTC Camera
I'd like to see added:
Talk2Me (if it's leaked yet?) OR
one of the standard Voice Command apps (MSFT or Cyberon)
Total Commander
Skyfire
Windows Live w/ Messenger
MSFT MyPhone
Advanced Config
dotfred task manager (is there a smartphone friendly version?)
I'm a ROM purist, so I only like barebone stuff in my ROMs. Keeping it simple, stupid. Lol.
Does anyone know if these apps can be updated once they're written to the ROM? Or would we have to reflash the new versions? In my experience cooked versions of Windows Live have been unable to propperly update since the program core files are R/O.
Good luck figuring out the GSM/CDMA probs ookba. Delicious chicken dinners coming your way once I'm running your 6.5 masterpiece.
Can Internet Sharing (ICS) be added to the Comm Manager?
I'd had to agree with the majority on the bare rom thing. As a person without vision (only light perception), the less visuals included, the better. I'd also add USB to PC to the list of inclusions though, as it's a nice app.
Also, I cna't seem to be able to run comm manager - it doesn't open and I don't get why. ODD. Maybe my screen reader is not letting it open?
Regardless... Customization can in deed be added in later, and you could provide links to websites with the tools for customizing.
Good luck!
-Tomi
include:
generally speaking phone hosted software... im sick of getting roms that require me to use/have a data plan... where i come from data as an add on is ridiculously expensive.. try $100/month++ for the most basic phone package with basic data
voice recorder
gps test 1.04
pim backup (or something like it)
resco explorer
all the google maps stuff etc can be downloaded easily
or can be offered on a "WITH DATA" rom
Make sure ##778# and ##3424# works on the new roms....
