has anybody come across a one button close all application for WM5.0? Spb 3.0.1 is too slow on WM5 and Wisbar Advance 2.4.....is also too much for what is needed. Something like Magicbutton but written for WM5.0 would br nice, nothing that requires much memory, but something that enables the closing of running apps without having to go into start/settings/system/memory...etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft had just written in that piece of code, as they are well aware that since PPC2000, that every application opened, remains so unless you manually close it down in memory (therefore hogging memory resources!) :evil:
Well if anyone knows of a WM specific solution, please do share.

I added couple files which they are usefull for you and they include the closeall app.
Install the cab files you'll see the close all, Reset and Running programs, which they can be clicked from the systray directly, after the installation they require a soft reset or else you go to Start>Programs>System open TrayLaunch and press Enable
GSPocketMagic++ is the most stable program I've tried. You need to put some amended bitmaps in to get it to integrate with WM5 but it works well...

Thanks guys. I'll try them both and let you know how I get on.
Damn!! My Jasjar is a Rocket!!

sub69: I don't know what kind of coding they used in that software you recommended, but it has boosted refresh rates and performance in general by at least 30%!! I know this sounds crazy but it's true! My opinion has completely changed about the speed of the Jasjar. It seriously Rocks! I couldn't care less if it doesn't stay this way, because it shows me conclusively, that future ROMs' will probably address the issues I have had thus far.
I needed this. Thanks a bunch sub69; best link I've had with regards to Universal software.
OK 1 gripe only: I've lost my two soft buttons on the bottom bar (any ideas?). It comes back and stays operational after a soft reset, but as soon as I use the 'close all' option of the program, I loose the soft keys! Damn..there's always a hitch!
Another positive though, the speed boost remains even after I have exited the program and revert to standard WM5.0 launcher!
P.S. I had at least 12 programs running simultaneously with no slow downs at all and 15 megs of Memory still available (tried to run out of memory, But couldn't). Very pleased at the moment, this is what I was expecting from the HTC Universal!! I'll test extensively before I comment further.
Thanks again sub69, u da Man!!
Mental...I didn't realise it was that good!?!
Not sure about the soft buttons, although come to think of it I have noticed they've disappeared a couple of times. Must've been when I hit "Close All" too?
Glad I could help, anyway. Do let us know how things go...

Still cannot believe it!! It's still going strong. Sussed the soft button thingy:Under start (GSPocket)/options/settings...uncheck the 2 tabs for'use exten task close' & 'Use Today skin'. That's it. It runs absolutely perfectly for me & with no need for amended bitmaps too! It fits right in wih my red or blue border themes (I only use my own jpegs now instead of themes - in the hope that I get no performance issues.....so far so good). Under menu settind tab I only select close all & setting (which gives me quick access to all settings in WM5.0..personal & system) and under 'click' tab I leave it as default 'Menu'. I'm so impressed with this software, I didn't think non-specific WM5 software coul be this good!
That site you recommended is also tops!
This software is so good that I must put up a new thread to inform all of your wonder find. I just hope all who try it get the same experience I'm getting. Thanks again sub69....I don't even feel the need for the next ROM update/grade...though I won't be turning it away.
Hmmm, not sure why you're that stunned. I'm finding it just fine - but certainly no faster than my JJ runs under PocketPlus 3.01, and the non-VGA graphics are a real step backwards. Anyone know how to solve this?
You mention a speed improvement; can you clarify: Before this, how long did it take to rotate the screen, and how long does it take now?
MagicButton (mbutton) works with batterymeter
Hi All,
I installed MagicButton (freeware) om my K-Jam. It works so far!
Cheers,

pocketpcfreewares.com is great! They do an RSSfeed showing all new and updated software, too, so its a permanent fixture as a "Live Bookmark" on my Firefox bookmarks toolbar.
I must fiddle with some .bmp's for GSPocketMagic++...
Can someone tell me how to install this? In laymans terms

That's the file you need to download for the Jasjar, then if you have an SD card reader, you can transfer it directly to it and install the .cab file by selecting it! If you don't have a card reader, let's hope you have a bluetooth dongle, as it's a small file then you can bluetooth it over. However if you have no problems with your activesync connection, just use that to dump the .cab file on your storage card somewhere or into 'My Documents' on the jasjar.
It's not complicated.

Good App ! made my day, very useful and simple

Yep, using it myself now - but no speed change over PocketPlus (even after hard reset to remove PP). Using it cos I like menu and PP didn;t offer all that much more that other apps don;t give me.
I put the new HTC ROM on my Mogul, and now every time I use Internet Explorer, I encounter a huge delay when scrolling pages. It's especially bad on long pages, and gets progressively worse as I move down the page. By the end of a long page, there's a delay of a second or more between tapping the down button, and seeing the page scroll. The slider bar has a huge delay as well.
I searched for other users with this problem, but couldn't find anything. Any ideas how to fix this? The GPS features are great, but not at the expense of quality web browsing.
Thanks.
I noticed that too.
Nothing running in the background and with approx 18MB free
qu1nn
Same here- gps is not worth this problem- There has to be more than a few users with this same issue.
Another IE problem here, basically unbearable.
I tried to reflash back to 2.17 got an error twice. Mybe someone here with some ppc brains can fix this- I have no clue on this.. if it had a set of pistons in it I would have it licked.
no problem here, any of you guys running touchflo?
no touchflow- stock rom with no new programs. I have reflashed it 3 times.
I see there is more folks over on the geeks site with the same problem.
Same problem here. It is pretty unresponsive.
people still use pie? try using opera mini, or anything else.
use netfront or opera
Not for me
I'm on stock 3.35 and no problem here, before or after installing Pieplus.
I had the same problem. However, I couldn't stand the slowness of the ROM overall, so I switched back to No2Chem's 6.1 ROM and am loving the speed again! New radio, updated ROM, no sluggishness with PIE.

Can be a bad setting that create those crashes.? what's your opinion.?
The cause of this problem is \Windows\htcapi.dll. Uninstall the program that put it there and you'll be fine. Or just delete the file. If it came with a custom ROM rename it to something like htcapi.dll.bak.

This .dll is attached on other critical component inside the PDA or i can change the extension without any problem .?
It's not part of stock ROM, doesn't exist in your device as it comes from HTC. It's added by some programs like "Diamond Hologram", some tweaks intended for "optimizing" device performance, and sometimes ROM chefs include it in their custom ROMs. So if you get rid of it some programs will stop working. I've never seen an important program use it though, so it's safe to at least try. The problem with this dll is that it's taken from some other devices and isn't made for HD.

Ok i've changed the extension and soft reset..the browser seems to be ok now.! i've tryed to open/closed 3 or 4 times and the phone won't crash..! amazing.! but, why this .dll create this conflict with opera.?
I have no idea why this conflict exists, but generally if you take a driver from one device and try to use it on another you're asking for trouble.

Oh is right.! have you seen that in April will go out Touch HD 2.? the camera will have flash.! but i think that the Touch hd 1 remain the good choice..what do you think about.?
This is completely off-topic, but yes, I think HD2 will be my next phone. And yes, HD is a very good device to my taste.
but i am having problems with opera in default rom which is from orange
and even updating with new orange rom opera is not stable especially after enabling plugin in settings of opera
its all with out tweeks and moding
I have no idea what that Orange ROM is like. If there htcapi.dll in \Windows? If yes, rename it and see if it helps.
Apart from that, what plugin are you trying to enable?

unable to find file htcapi.dll in windows folder
i do not have exact idea of these plugins(i believe it to be java ) but opera settings >advance settings have option to enable plugins
The fact that there is a setting doesn't mean you have to change it, especially when you don't know what you're doing. Just disable them and live happily ever after.

Hello everyone!
Many people asked me to create an English rom. After two weeks of hard work here it is! probably suffers many bugs and so it's still a beta. I ask you kindly to try it and leave me a feedback.
Features:
- This is a lite rom: FREE RAM over 60%
- Manila is not cooked in, but I leave you a Manila themed cab:
http://www.4shared.com/file/gRnpBXUr/2DManila_201919143204Pajerm_MO.html
- This rom is already overclocked at 276MHz and then do not install other overclocking tools
- If you use operamini here is the cab:
http://www.4shared.com/file/DM-6KS5d/mini5wm.html
- I made several customizations that I hope you like them
How to install:
- Flash this ROM as usual
- Reboot your phone
- If this rom becomes slow and you can not open the CommManager or homsettings then install this cab in the phone memory:
http://www.4shared.com/file/fndT0s2N/fp7_ppc_en.html
- Apply the Acid Green theme in homesettings, I created it for this rom.
- If you like manila now you can install it and then restart the phone
Download link:

Screenshots:
thanks dear Pajerm
will try it
I downloaded the ROM and have loaded it and my first impression is that it is a very fast, smooth ROM. Of course it is overclocked so that could help a little bit too.
I did have a problem getting the volume buttons to work and having it slow down and freeze when trying to get into the CommManager but after installing this that all went away.

The only thing that I've found so far is that Bluetooth doesn't seem to work.
Other than that this ROM is off to a very nice start.

i prefer m2d v1.2, can i use that with your rom??
yes you can..

You are right, the icon isn't there but it does appear to be syncing up with my headset.
One thing I have found is that with M2D v1.2 that I can't create a text message from the M2D shortcut. But if I go through the start menu to Messaging and then create a new text message it seems to work fine. Sorry, I did have M2D v2.0 loaded first but never tried texting from it before I hard reset and then loaded M2D v1.2.
Am typing this out as the ROM boots for the first time, have to say its off to an imressive start, the boot animation is sweet, super fast ROM!! The stock keyboard seems ever so slightly larger. makes typing very much easier, though i think there is a small glitch in the messaging section. the msgs dont get saved in the right order and instead of showing the time of recieving the msg it only shows the date. Tis' true that there is no notification of the bluetooth running but it does connect succesfully. Part from these minor issues this ROM is beautiful and can say without hesitation that this is one of the BEST ROMs i have ever used, will test battery life etc (bugs as well, if i can find any that is.)
Request you to make these changes ASAP, and there would be nothing better.
1) change the volume adjust style to that of stock (non-windowed type).
2) the volume adjustment bar and other such bars are extremely small and hard to use. Would be nice if you could increase the size.
If the problems cannot be addressed right away would be very kind of you to tell us how to resolve this problem ourselves, and i do hope i was clear enough to get my points out clearly.

I just hard reset the phone and then reloaded Manila v2.0 and I can't create a text message through M2D with it either. So it appears that it could be the same issue with both versions of M2D.
I do remember a problem like this happening with another ROM too. I'll try and take a look around the forum and see if I can find it and if they came up with a solution.

Thank you for testing my rom! I think that the messaging problem can be solved by setting the correct date and time...
Next rom will have htc volume control and a lot of other customizations that you never see in any rom...

Iswear this was a better rom than jagans...not trying to dissapoint any1,but i have found some problems so went back to the stock...well,the volume is a problem...but still,i liked the rom...
Test Drive
Today was first day of the test drive, noticed a few glitches.
1) clockspeed drops to 186MHz after a while, not sure as to y it drops
2) Manila (the one you included) has problems in the music section, continues to search and search.
3) Windows Media Player is unable to handle 320kbps audio easily. (Just skips tracks)
4) Not having the scroll bar i thought was a good idea but i did notice that some apps become hard to use such as OMAPclock itself (It uses a sideways scroll bar, i think and not having the scroll bar leaves us unable change clock speed manually,
5) Battery gets consumed really really fast, (its not a side affect of the overclocking). Only while the screen is running.
6) On install of Ezinput, the ROM has to be restarted but it hangs in the Primary Splash screen itself.
7) Realised mp4 is not supprted. (This isnt a glitch and not sure if it really does need to be include, this should depend on demand.)
btw, amazing boot speed!!!
As far as the Manila "Music" Tab goes, this cab file should help. Something i downloaded a while back right here at xda
Am amazed at your working speed. hats off to you.
you rom is good,but I can't use this. internet and Camera can't
star!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi all,
Since I was beta testing fxdj's 6.1 clean rom and different versions, I have created this thread. I have sent few feedbacks already in 6.5 thread but since that was cluttering too much for that particular ROM, I've decided to put everything here and if fxdj wants, he can continue his further developments and updates on this thread. I am happy to rename the thread if needed later on.
DOWNLOAD LINKS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BETA-TEST THIS 6.1 ROM-IN-MAKING
All credit goes to:
Fxdj for cooking
Mangasora clean 6.1 rom
feropont's kitchen
So here is the feedback for 3 clean versions and 4th Version which is nearly release candidate 1.
Fxdj said: "Version 1 (click to download): Should have about 4MB more RAM, be stable but may be lagy?"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 2 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Normal boot – no issues
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – 35 seconds
[*]Issues: After cab installation, the phone soft-resets and then freezes at Green Welcomehead screen. Battery had to be pulled out in order to restart the phone.
[*]Issues: The home button does not take me back to my today screen. I am not sure if in 6.1 ROMs the home button is meant to take me out of any program and bring me to today screen. I am presuming ideally that is what it should do. But in this rom, it's not doing that.
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
[*]RAM after hard reset: 151.07 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.
Fxdj said "Version 2 (click to download): Should have about 4MB more RAM, but I do not know it is stable in all conditions"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 2 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Longer boot. ‘Toshiba’ logo stays for longer time, don’t get scared. It goes away in few more seconds.
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – 25-30 seconds
[*]Issues: The home button does not take me back to my today screen. I am not sure if in 6.1 ROMs the home button is meant to take me out of any program and bring me to today screen. I am presuming ideally that is what it should do. But in this rom, it's not doing that.
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
RAM after hard reset: 151.83 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me. Although I don't see much difference between the first two versions, I think the second version is more snappier than first. The speed for both versions is outstanding.
Fxdj said: "Version 3 (click to download) is "connection" of both above. Should have about 8MB more ram"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 2 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Normal boot
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – 25-30 seconds
Issues: Home button issue again – it doesn’t take us to ‘today’ screen.
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
RAM after hard reset: 155.61 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.
But, BUT – yes BUT : This version, seems a little only a tad slower than first 2. You can only notice this slowness when you have quite a few programs running. e.g. I had ALL the start menu apps running i.e. “MULTI-TASKING” and I found it only a little slow (in microseconds) – I won’t call it slow personally.
Fxdj said: "Version 4 (click to download) is fixed for SPB icons, is RAM optimized, has HTC menus, working home key"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 4 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Normal boot
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – nearly 2 minutes
Issues: SPB icons, still blank (same 3 icons) - see screenshot
Issues: HTC Menu - Since I've not used it so often, I might be wrong. But I think the start menu isn't displaying correctly- see screenshot
Issues: Your tweak icons are all in start menu. I have noticed they were in a folder generally in other versions - see screenshot
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
RAM after hard reset: 145.85 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 295.97 mb
Comments: Home button fix works perfectly now! Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.
PLEASE NOTE:
I have followed a specific "safe" flashing procedure:
Hard reset current ROM
FLASH STOCK
Hard reset stock ROM
FLASH NEW ROM
Hard reset NEW ROM
Use it, test it, abuse it.
GO TO STEP 1
Reserved for screen shots etc.
It might be a good idea if users interested in a 6.1 ROM from fxdj, will come forward and show their interest here. Any suggestions for how the rom could be etc, would help fxdj to tweak further. Also big cooks like MIRO could tie-up with fxdj if possible to get some sort of sense (compressed one if possible) ROMs with 6.1 OS (with 155mb RAM to play, I think SENSE will flow smooooth!)
hi drupad2drupad,
thank you for opening this thread!
I am very interested in 6.1 ROMs as it seems that I get a much better battery life than with 6.5.x.
I would love a sense ROM with transcriber as an input method possible (the miro transcriber fix only works for 6.5.x ROMs).
Further it is maybe possible to somehow include a nicer built in lock screen. The problem here is that if you sync with exchange server the security policy forces you to use OS PIN lock screen of 6.1 and it is kinda ugly.
regards

Hi all,
Since I was beta testing fxdj's 6.1 clean rom and different versions, I have created this thread. I have sent few feedbacks already in 6.5 thread but since that was cluttering too much for that particular ROM, I've decided to put everything here and if fxdj wants, he can continue his further developments and updates on this thread. I am happy to rename the thread if needed later on.
PS: I am happy, very happy, to share the DOWLOAD LINKS with anyone and everyone who wants to test this for fxdj BUT, I will wait till fxdj confirms that he doesn't mind his work being shared. If he says he is OK, then I will add DOWNLOAD links for Beta-tests too

Thanks a lot drupad !
Of course I do not mind anybody other test the roms so You can share the links. More tests - more knowledge whether any of the roms is worthy to deal with in the future.
It should be added , the roms are based on Mangasora clean 6.1 rom so thanks Him for this rom and
prepared in feropont's kitchen so thanks Him too for His kitchen.
drupad2drupad said:
So here is the feedback for 3 clean versions:
Fxdj said: "Version 1: Should have about 4MB more RAM, be stable but may be lagy?"
My beta test results are:
[*]Issues: After cab installation, the phone soft-resets and then freezes at Green Welcomehead screen. Battery had to be pulled out in order to restart the phone.
[*]Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
[*]RAM after hard reset: 151.07 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
[*]Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.

It is well known problem of home button in my roms . I guess I can fix it in the same way ( in any of these three roms ) I did it for my WM6.5 roms. I think there is something with OEM packages, I partially cleaned up few months ago when I started my adventures with tg01.
I am really astonished this version freezes. I hoped it would worked the best
It was one time freeze or every time it freezes ?
So we have 3 versions and question which should be the base for adding some software ( of course SPB shell as a first ).

The freeze with version 1 was only for once. It followed cab install process after flash. Once I removed battery and started my phone again, everything was normal then on. I re-flashed it later on, and then the problem was gone. Hence I dont think it was anything to do with the ROM. May be a bad flash? or me being impatient?
If I was to choose from all 3 version, I would choose definitely the ver3 as it's got highest FREE RAM. So when we use TF3D or SPB MS, we still would have plenty of free RAM. But it will be interesting to see if two things can be solved before:
a) home button (for which you already know the solution)
b) The 3 missing icons in settings after we install SPB MS on 6.1 ROMs. It's not just this rom, but all other 6.1 ROMs too, that when we intall SPB MS, the 3 icons in settings don't appear. This makes it 'appear' less functional.
I have tried SPB Shell in ver3 today and everything works perfectly normal. There is no lag as such, but I still feel it to be less smoother than ver 2.
Ver 2. was the smoothest in operation even with SPB MS on it. But since SPB is taking up to 12-14mb RAM when used with 3D acceleration, I think having extra RAM on ver 3. is beneficial.

Could You give me more details because I have only heard about mentioned problems but I do not know what is exactly on :
1) Mentioned 3 icons disappear after SPB Shell installation at all or rather we have three "standard" settings icons ( gears icons or similar )
2) For what settings are the icons responsible for ?
Because I like clunky methods to solve this or other problems, maybe I would be able to do any kind of patch.

Yes, it may be true and caused by other way of increasing of RAM.
It would be good any other person(s) test it but even if we not await any additiona tests, I will release cooked rom but people do not complain then, if any problems occure

I checked it under simulator. I installed there SPB Shell 3.5.5. WM6.1 was so called
"WM 6.1 professional"
What I noticed is :
1)
a) In pure system settings->system we have 15 icons
b) In settings->system under SPB we have 14 icons. There is no icon "Encryption" available in pure system settings
2)
a) In pure system settings->personal we have 8 icons
b) In settings->personal under SPB we have 8 icons too
3)
a) In pure system settings->connections we have 6 icons
b) In settings->connections under SPB we have 5 icons. There is no "USB to PC" available in pure system settings.
So I can see 2 not 3 missed icons. Are above missed icons the same as in real not simulated WM 6.1 ?

Hi,
The icons we are missing are:
System,
Personal and
Connection
The main icons. We get a text that says "system", "Personal" and "connection"
but on top of them, it's just empty space. When you hit that space, it takes us to respective sub-menus in SPB.
I guess it might be because 'system', 'personal' and 'connection' are 3 different tabs on normal 6.1 ROMS and hence have no icons of their own anyway.

I understand now. We have submenus but main three icons are absent - only texts say us what we have either "system" or "personal" or "connections".
Under simulator it looks better because instead any nice icon I have directory symbol connected with gear symbol. The same for all 3 mentioned icons.
So only problem seems to be how to change :
1) texts in Your case
2) this gear and directory symbols in simulator case
on any nice icons we want.
I will try to see what I can do with it. If under simulator it go ok, it should go ok in real system too.

Yes that's the exact problem!
I am more than happy to test version 4 with these changes, your magic and SPB Shell installed Also, is it possible to not have 'happy face' implementation and instead a 'black patch' that matches task bar colour? That way, even if by mistake a user was to click that top right corner, it would do nothing at all (in background obviously it will show this 'black patch' instead of smiley face).
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580568 shows a taskbar where such patch is applied. As I know you like making your own, but if not, you could cook this patch in.
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812337
By doing this, you will more or less create a 'SPB ROM' - but with your 'double tap' implementation - it will be safe for users to still get start menu back if they tap twice on top left corner.

Hi drupad.
I did some experiment under simulator and changed "personal" icon ( gear + directory 'book' ) to other icon so I think that in real system there should be no any problems with it. I only have to find nice .png icons for "personal", "connections" and "system".
Maybe You can give me them ? I do not like to deal with graphic, brrrrr .
What concerns "face" , I explained You few weeks ago in any other thread that "face" is absolutely not needed in 6.1 so I am not going to use it at all. As people say, locking WM start menu in WM6.1 gives nothing as far as increase of RAM amount is concerned so why utilize it at all ? Apart from SPB menu we will "get" natural simple menu . If anyone does not want to have such menu it can be "mapped" to SPB menu as I know , in SPB shell settings. Maybe I did not quite understand Your concept ?
Rest of my software will be applied of course.
What do You think about HTC enlarge menu here ? You know my attitude to HTC but as You know I fixed existing htc enlarge menu .cab ( so can treat it as my software ) and can apply it as a .cab to all my .cab files in auto cab install.
I hope my explanations make You pleased

Hi fxdj!
Yes that all makes sense! I keep forgetting that winmo start menu saves nothing on 6.1 !!
It would be real treat to get those 3 icons. Could it be used from 6.5 ROM? Because 6.5 rom has 3 icons for these. That way it might save you time from re-sizing etc.
I also wanted to ask you if you cook 0321 version generally for your ROMs or do you prefer 1600? I was reading through radio changing kitchen thread and couldn't figure out if 0321 was giving best call quality over all for everyone.
HTC Enlarge menu_fxdjmod - Yes!! That will save us from coming across any small icons at all!! There is a 'today theme' that makes the actual line spacing in 6.1 a bit more finger friendly. I will try to dig that cab for you and put some screen shots. That will go well with HTC Enlarge menu. That will give us an option to change 'today theme' + make overall 6.1 icons smoother and finger friendly like 6.5 but won't affect the speed and RAM.

I utilized 321 radio in the past but now I have 1600.
321 the best ? Hard to say . Some people have GPS problems with it
and I can ensure You it is buggy as far as battery charging is concerned.
I wrote about it in my WM6.5 thread. Even with orignal battery driver
user can not see any progress in charging. Only after system restart one can see that battery has been charged. Anyway, like in case of my 6.5 rom I can issue it with two radios - 321 and 1600

drupad is my main tester and I sent Him today cooked rom for tests.
It should have the same functionality as my 6.5 rom. If anybody want to test it too ( maybe 3-pin methods will be required ) please let me know so I will publish link to it. drupad also has my permission to give link to anyone who will want it.

Thanks drupad.
It seems it is time I have to flash it myself so that to fix found errors
but I will see maybe it will not be needed.
But as I can see from screenshots, system menu seems to be enlarged ? Start menu is not displayed correctly
because in my oppinion I did mistake and one can see my three directories in the start menu not original items.
I can also see that software that should be in separate directories is all in "programs".
I can see files from my "WOWHD" directory and my "Tools" directory. What about "Power" directory ? Is it absent too
and its files are in programs directory like other files ?
And what about Your feelings ? Is this rom prospective and worthy to deal with it to fix it ? It seems the forum dies
Anyway, people will be very pleased because of free RAM
Can I ask You about whole rom registry ( via fdcTaskManager ) ? Maybe I will find there some answers .
Maybe I will be able to prepare something before 16:00 so that You could test it - if You feel like of course
And finally, could You execute fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.exe You have in \windows directory ? Tell me two things
after execution:
1) Did the software display any warning/error message
2) If it did not display anything , check whether "three settings" have still only descriptions without icons.

The 'power' directly comes as it self but not as an icon in 'Programs'. Its as an item in start menu.
I have attached whole start menu in screenshots with this one. You will notice that you can't see these icons when using without SPB. You can only see your 'loose' icons in Programs when we see through SPB menu.
In another screenshot - you can see that there is no 'fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.exe ' file in /Windows directory. Could this be the reason why the icons are missing? May be it din't cook the file?
Let me know what you need to do with the Registry and I will attach screenshots for them too!
What worries me is the absence of everyone in the forum. I am getting a feeling that this forum is dying slowly. Probably because it's 'upgrade' time for most users and everyone is moving to different handsets (hopefully not iPhones!) I have my upgrade due in few weeks too but I will be around in forums from time to time as I've literally loved TG01 since day 1!
radio 321 is the best, reasonable for uk compared to the other official ROMs. Good luck

Exactly ! Two files ( maybe ) are missing. One fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.exe in \windows directory and fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.lnk in \windows\startup directory ( can You check it ? ). I have problems with dsmeditor so maybe it is why it did not add the files to .dsm file.
I will do needed fixes tomorrow and I hope this version will be correct at last and I will be able to create new thread
and because I found my USB cable I will flash it too. Who knows, maybe it will be my favourite rom not 6.5.

BTH. Is the upper bar "original" ? I mean it is the same as in Toshiba WM 6.1 system ? Mangasora ported sys from xx56 to xx57 and as I remember my tests of His rom, I did not like it too much. Is it possible to change upper bar to the same I have in WM 6.5 ?
I would not like to install any "android like" and others.
And why You do not like iPhone ? I do not like too it because .... I do not like it . The same as HTC software...

more people will still visit the forum. i have been here from the very start when the roms were first made. the forum use to be very big then! but it has shrunk considerably. if you take a quick look at the hd2 forum, see how big it is! there are always 1000+ people browsing the hd2 forums at a time! (view at xda index) many other forums have large support aswell! soon my tg01 can become my flashing phone when i get a new one, so i'll be able to beta test.. i was actually going to order my Desire S on sunday, but o2 changed the tariffs round...
but soon i can test for all cooks but as you know fxdj.. i am busy these few weeks
