New thread and update!
I decided a while back that I didn't like some things in PhamQuangs roms so I set about learning to cook. This is the first rom I've created that I was satisfied with. I intend on updating this with the newest com3 builds as they arive. Please post your issues in the comments so that I might attempt to fix them.
I updated it again, cooked in user customization. I also got rid of that awful blue and orange topbar wherever I could. I cant guarantee that UC will work but its worth a shot.
Version 4 loses UC, but customization finishes successfully now. Finished getting rid of MS' terrible color scheme. I probably wont update again till I get Notification and home screen task manager working. The clock now autosets from your carrier. Email setup wizard is now in, plus HTC's animated bootscreen.
Version 5 is now up! I got camera and homescreen taskmanager working. The reason why the phone doesn't restart after customization is because htc's connection setup is broken. To set up your data if the MS one doesn't autostart (I've had mixed results with that one) go to Settings\Connections\Connections and on the first page is a link that says Automatically Configure Connection. Tap that and you'll be golden. Version 6 will have HTC's Audio Manager, as that's my next goal to fix.
Version 6, contrary to my previous statements, does not have Audio Manager. It does however have the volume keys fixed, and HTC's Connection Setup now operates, tho not automatically. I'm not yet willing to claim that its better than MS' but now you have the ability to use either.
Version 7 will be coming soon. Auto connection setup now works. Mega notifications now works, is not mapped to the entire top bar tho. where the start menu used to be it gives the 6.5 default zoom thing. Phone canvas now has its position fixed and its scroll bar is gone. I went down to 23053 and it fixed the dialogue buttons and made poutlook stable. the new message button on the message tab now works. I wanna get this version with all the stuff I want in it so that the next version will just be bug fixes.
Version 7 is now ready to go. I ended up going back to 23060 so I fixed the dialogue buttons and got everything working. Audio Manager works now, as does USB to PC popup. User customization is now cooked in and does make the customization screen take a little longer but is very worth it. If you have issues with customization put this file on your SD card, it should fix it. I'm fairly sure I've gotten rid of the most of the brokenness but please post any issues you have.

I know the homescreen weather doesn't work, it has to do with the way it finds out your location. The attached cab sets the weather to show whats on the screenshot along with the registry info so you can set it to what you want.

I don't recommend this as a main rom just yet. Its fast but its missing some stuff and the camera doesn't work yet. As for battery life I've been running it all day and I'd say its doing better than Pham's roms with battery. I plan on working on it more tonight its just that my Opal is my only phone and with all the flashing I've been doing I've missed a considerable amount of calls.
Thanks for the hard work you are doing to help others...Keep it up, you will succeed.
hopfully we can try it tom. ... wanna c how that is... looks kool... kinda like it makes me wanna stick on touchflo instead of titanium... cuz i mostly use titanium....
i tried it... some buttons are missing in the Dialog Box (or i think it's called Message Box) and some of the TouchFLO's buttons are not functioning like in the SMS and settings tab.
tho i like it coz the unnecessary apps like yahoo go, opera, google maps etc. are not included, so storage space is good.
it's also having a hard time connecting with ActiveSync, dunno why... maybe because of the Rom version which is BesFen???
thanks XirXes!

I haven't experienced any activesync issues, either to my desktop or to gmail. Did you HR when you installed?
Is anyone else having issues with the email tab in touchflo? Every time I go to it touchflo crashes, I'll try to fix it tomorrow but I'm tired.
yes i hard reset... it can connect via ActiveSync but i can't transfer files but i guess it's a PC problem, i'll check it out.
rest rest rest
something is very wrong with this ROM this is the sixth time its doing customization.. rests then again it says tap the screen to setup.. going back to old rom!

Yeah, It doesn't work on our phones yet, I might take a stab at mortscript to get it working but its not a priority of mine. I'm gunna make a list of stuff that's broken and put it in the second post so people don't have to flash the rom and realize something they want is broken; and so that I'll have a check list.
aye can u send more screen shots?? does it have calender and stocks tabs on?? or at least calender???..lol
Touchflo 2d doesn't have either of those tabs.

Connection setup wont work automatically but if you go to Settings\Connections\Connections and on the first page is a link that says Automatically Configure Connection. Tap that and you'll be golden.
Camera doesn't work yet, I don't know why but there are a few things in this rom that are just stubborn. I might make a cab to install the camera as a temporary fix if you want it but there is other things I want to get working first.

So,
With a bit (more like a ton) of help from the Flashing Junkies post from Sleuth I have managed to completely setup my phone to do EVERYTHING I typically do before I start using it. My provisioning does all of the following
Installs apps
Sets up my buttons
Customizes my start menu
Changes all the config changes I make with Advance Config
And a whole bunch of other stuff, which I will share with everyone once I have everything set up... there are only a couple of things I need help with right now that i am hoping some of the WONDEFULLY AWESOME EXPERTS we have here can help me out with.
1. How can I disable ALL of the today plugins in a rom so I can enable only the ones that I want.
2. How can I set the Media Net network as the default for internet (See my attached XML file for how im setting these up, it looks right but it just doesnt work)
3. How can I setup e-mail so that it will NOT delete off the server when I delete messages.
I've attached my XML files for creating the network and grps setup as well as my e-mail account... but I cannot figure out why the network stuff doesnt work properly and why there is no setting in the xml file to not delete stuff off the server
I run the network connections in the order of Network > GPRS > then Planner
That should be the right order and im 99% sure my settings are right
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance!
ba dump da bump bump...
any ideas?
I wish I could help you with that stuff..Heck I just got my exchange server and wifi in a cab finally.
I hope you will share your xml file for changing alll your settings etc that you have so I can look at it and make my own.. thats awesome
good luck!!
I most certianly will... being an annoying perfectionist, I want to get everything setup 100% before I post all the stuff I did, I will be honest the XML is quite easy (although I have a programming back ground) I went from not knowing ANYTHING about XML or provisioning my device to knowing how to do this stuff blind folded.
As soon as I work out these few quirks, I will be writing up a nice little n00b tutorial on how to do this. with a bunch of links I used to set everything up. I just want to work out these few issues first and finish the few customization items I have left!
Interesting subject
Cool, Gotta check this out!

I'm not an expert but I set up my today plugins like this:
<!-- Resco Today Plugin -->
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Resco Today Plugin">
<parm name="Enabled" value="1" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Options" value="1" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Selectability" value="2" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Type" value="5" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Order" value="5" datatype="integer"/>
</characteristic>
<!-- HTC Home -->
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home">
<parm name="Enabled" value="1" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Options" value="0" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Selectability" value="2" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Type" value="5" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Order" value="0" datatype="integer"/>
</characteristic>
My guess is used the ENABLED parameter to disable the ones you don't want.
By the way...I've been trying for ages to disable the sounds & events for notifications and it still doesn't work
Yah, I saw that reg setting to enable them, but not every rom has all the same plugins installed and enabled when you first hard reset it... so I want to be able to universally say "Disable everything" then go in and turn on just the ones I want...
Oh yah! i havent even thought about setting notifications yet!
(except my ring tone and ring script)
Ok,
So after digging around and reading a lot on MSDN, I found no way to disable all plugins on the today screen. I also discovered that XML provisioning does not like certian kinds of characters even if you use HTML coding
so... that being said, allow me to introduce my first (and very basic) application to the XDA forums.
TodayDisabler.
What it does is it opens the protected registry keys that control what items appear on the today screen and sets them all to enable = 0
I purposefully wrote this app with no interface so that you can use it in your provisioning to disable all items on your today screen no matter what items are currently enabled.
How To Use:
Place the item on your storage card wherever you want
Use the XML: or CPY1:/CPY2: (SDCondig.txt) commands to copy the file to a location without spaces (maybe \windows)
Use the EXEC: (SDCondig.txt) command to launch the file
I would recomend using XML to delete the file afterwards so its not wasting space on your device (a whopping 9k) or maybe so you dont run it accidentally and disable all of your plugins
Now that all of your plugins are disabled, you can use WAP provisioning, CAB files, or reg files to enable just the ones you want!
I know I am still reletively new compared to others. so if any of you are a bit unsure about running any of my app, I would be more than happy to post the source code to this application
hi, i wonder if someone can help me to do a white wm6.1 theme, i figured out that the .tsk file can be open if i change the file attribute to .zip, in the folder and i get this 7 files:

I've spent ages trying to customize a theme for my Diamond, with partial success.
The best theme editor I've seen is ThemeGenCE, however it is far from perfect, not to mention confusingly designed.
The main problem seems to be that that there are far more items in WM6, each having their own colour settings, than there are settings in ThemeGenCE. You will also need to start with a different theme file because the program will not handle the HTC Black theme.
I created my own theme including wallpapers in ThemeGenCE and then used other software on the Diamond to tweak more of the unhandled colours. I'm using a software bundle called UI Tweaker to set many of the colours (including the solid task bars) and another program called RC Mod to set the colour of selected today items.
The problem with this approach is that I will lose my changes if I flash, hard reset or even switch themes and there are still some settings that are not handled. It's shocking that MS have not bundled all of the relevant settings together in a colour control panel applet. Even Windows 3.1 had one.
HTH.
Edit: I've just checked and it looks like the only solid task bar colour possible is black. I don't know why, but I think this is crappy backwards-compatible design by MS.

Confusingly designed ! It is because when I began to write it, that was initially for WM 2003... I gradually adapt it for WM5 & WM6.

I send you a PM ... Have a look to your box.
its impossible to make white tsk theme...
xml is confusing, try MSCEInf (from poster above). its useful
also look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439400
Idont understand why it cant be white? My tought was to only change the color code on the titlebar and bottombar on the htc black theme. Does it work with wm5 themes? I only want i white, the design dosent matter
its impossible to create a white theme unless you use something like wisbar
"Edit: I've just checked and it looks like the only solid task bar colour possible is black. I don't know why, but I think this is crappy backwards-compatible design by MS."
I have managed to get perfect white upper and lower bars. The only thing that is impossible for me to do is change all the icons in the upper bar to black (such as 3g, wifi, signal strength indicator, battery indicator...etc.. can't seem to locate where in the registry all those items are at.
I used dbExplorer to remove the Repllog.exe entry that starts on a timer and both ceipui.exe entries. This is a replacement mxip_notify.vol to be used with cooking.
I still have the problem of ActivSync starting by a timer and I have concluded that Something is adding this entry back to the db
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: SOLVED
This provxml sets Peak Frequency and Off Peak Frequency to manual.
This has the same outcome as creating a fake server just to change the settings. We should be able to cook this in our roms, just drop it into an OEM folder and update the DSM
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Sync">
<characteristic type="Settings">
<parm name="PeakFrequency" value="0"/>
<parm name="OffPeakFrequency" value="0"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="KeepAlive" datatype="integer" value="0"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
The attached cab only has this xml.
I recommend installing the cab while repllog.exe is running because it automatically removes the entries from notifications queue. I'm not sure what effect this will have if repllog.exe is not running and a notification entry exists to restart it.
I might be wrong, but if this something only adds ActiveSync back if it's not present, wouldn't it solve the issue to keep the entry and set the timer value to something very big (if it can be set).
Edit : ok, I should have checked before, there is no parameter in time_change event.
Ive been doing some testing and it seems that it only happens to me when I use QuickMenu to kill it. If I use FDC TaskMgr, the entry doesn't get added...
What irks me is that AS doesn't close when I disconnect from my PC.
Anyway, when I use QuickMenu to close AS, it adds an entry to start repllog.exe with "/remote /h" to run 2 minutes after I killed it

Hi Selyb
This is the answer, works for me well
selyb, does this hack applies only to WM 6.1 or also to WM 6.5?
To my knowledge, these should work on WM 6, 6.1, and 6.5
I was trying your updated mxip_notify, but when cooked along the provxml into a ROM, ActiveSync doesn't start at all when it should (when the phone is connected to the PC)... I have to manually start repllog.exe. Do you know how to solve that?
Sorry, I really don't. I haven't done any hacking/researching for at least 6 months so none of this stuff is fresh on my mind now
Please, if you don't have touchscreen problems don't try to fix what's working well.
1 - straight lines fix with stock sensitivity install the normal one
2 - Straight lines fix + ghost press fix (for who has them, it's a little bit different than bsbtweaks) install "with_reduced_sentitivity.cab"
Feedback is welcome.
SOFT-RESET AFTER INSTALL.
To new users. This try to fix this problem.

I feel like this increased ghost presses in my keyboard. Reverted to v2!
The sensitivity is hd2 stock so that is possible. has ppl said they didn'tlike the reduced sensitivity i did not mess with it.
i can create a cab with v2 and v3 togheter for who needs both tweaks or use bsbtweaks to reduce sensitivity and this to correct the incorrect lines.
so far seems okay - i didnt go for the reduce sense as i have a mirror protector that helped but will give you my final verdict at the end of the day - its better to give it realistic testing then to blitz a few message out

thank you, that's what i need!
I installed this onto 1.61 with decerased sensitivity by BsB Tweaks. This makes me type faster and with more ease on the default manialla keyboard. I tested it in Notes as well, and I can draw straight lines. Straight as an arrow. Or almost.
Thank you for your work!

cab on first post
Thanks for the quick reply. But sadly it had no effect on the shaking screen issue or the strange drawing of straight lines in notes (still like a heart monitor lineprint...). But typing seems to be a little better. Could you attach the original .cab as well (just in case)?
did you soft reset ??
Sure I did. And after the reboot the very first thng I did was trying to draw straight lines in notes... With the mentioned success :-(

try the new cab. you also seam to have the ghost presses
No difference with the new cab (uninstalled the former one and did a softreset before installing). And yes I ocassionally do have the ghostpress issue but very rarely. But your .cab definitely improved typing accuracy. Screen feels more responsive and precise while typing.

so use the new one that also fixes the ghost presses give your feedback then
Looking forward to try this .cab. Hope that helps! back in a few minutes of testing
Well, this cab helped a lot, especially in the Sense Home tab (where i had the most discouraging issues)... even if there's little jittering here and there, this cab made the difference! i think you're in the right direction, good job
(all this stuff really pisses me a lot... 600 euros for this device and having THESE issues... is absolutely a rape! )
Anyone else have this problem? Doesn't matter if the phone is idle or in use, the data connection just turns off. It doesn't have to do with it being a bad connection either because it does it at my house all of the time and I'm 3G'in with full bars there.
I didn't notice it with the old ROM. I'm running stock 2.13 ROM with CHT 1.8 and editor, 3d driver cab and zim's touch sensitiviy cab.
This is different than the known issue where the data goes out and you lose your passwords and mail account settings, then have to reset up the data connection.
It basically just turns off the data and if you turn it back on in the wireless settings, it's fine... Seems too random for it to be something put in place by Tmobile.
Any ideas?
Hey crisis
I'm still running the originial 2.10 stock rom, but I've noticed that happening occasionally on mine as well, especially right after closing opera (9.7), and at a few other inconsistent times too.
It seems like it started soon after I installed several utility tweaks, including the "touch_x power management on" cab, which enables several power management modes across the phone but doesn't specify exactly what each one does. However, I seem to recall that activating those same memory managment features in my TP2 caused it to shut off he data when it was idle just like this. Have you run that cab? I'll paste the reg values it changes, so you can check to see if any of yours are that way...might have gotten changed even if you didn't run the cab. The "L2TP1" and "PPTP1" keys are where I would start.

Thanks! I'll check it out and post back what I find. It's very possible that it is happening when I shut Opera down. I just haven't pin pointed exactly when it's happening. I like the idea of it turning off to save battery life if I'm not using it, but want to know that is, in fact, what is actually happening... Hasn't caused me any real problems yet.
I haven't installed the power management cab... I'm starting to think maybe it's part of the new CHT maybe? I'm gonna dig through that thread and see if I find anything on it.
I have noticed when I idle my phone for a while and just listen to music and have to power off on my phone it does that. I dont think it is a big deal. T-mobile I guess charges for data by minutes used I think. I notice when I hit the taskbar it shows a counter when i am using data. I think if I had everything set to update automatically like every hour I dont think it would go into that "idle" state. I turned everything to manual because I dont want my battery to drain when it is constantly updating.
I have noticed this but it has nothing to do with opera. I don't know what causes it but I have to constantly go in and it'll say data connection off and then I go to turn it on and it stays off then I gotta click it again to turn it on. it's almost like the software thinks it's off but it's still on.
