Yeah, it doesn't seem to be very well recognized that using a GSM dialer will means there a good chance your phone won't dial 911. It was a problem with the Diamond/TP because there were no CDMA VGA phone canvas's that would interface with Sense. Using a GSM phone canvas usually results in 1) data arrows always active 2) messes up 911 (tries to dial a contact, not actual 911) and 3) ## codes don't usually work. I'm curious how a TMOUS HD2 dialer would work as it would have to be made for 911 to work. I think the main reason GSM dialers do not work is because most are from non-US branded ROMs that do not need 911.

You can read more about it in nsffan's thread's faq. It says he 'fixed it' but doesn't give any info on what changes need to be made.

For some reason my signal bar icon reads no signal when in face I really do have signal. Misleading but just cosmetic. I left my platonics Voyager pro home so I wont get to test the Apr 8th cookie 2.0 till I get home. But I did set a 0 page pool and I must say that this shit is snappy. Thanks for all the hard work.

edit..

had low signal where i was....

Hope this isn't too far off the scope of this ROM thread, but the only other issue I've had with the NRG ROMS is the light-colored font seems hard to read and the spacing/padding in between menu items makes it kind of difficult to get a happy medium between useability and function.

So after poking around I found a way to make the settings better for me, an aging guy who's starting to need reading glasses.

Got the info from mostly this post over on XDA and this one and made a cab file to fix it that I load into my XDA UC directory after a fresh flash.

It really only changes 4 settings in the HKLM>System>GWE>Menu> registry setting. I changed the "height" to 900 and the font "weight" to 700 in both the BarFnt and PopFnt keys.

Now I can finally see the Select Messages menu option from the SMS and email apps!

Edit:
After tweaking it around a bit, I went with 950 font size (ht) on the menu bar and a slightly higher size of 1100 on the popup.

Also included the cab file for changing the padding (the space above and below menu items). Those settings are in HKCU>Software>Microsoft>Today>Menu>
Changed MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding and MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPaddingvalues to 3.

I've attached the cabs and reg files so you can play around with them.

The only problem with the dialer I've had is that it seems like when I get a call when the phone is in "sleep" mode, when I slide the slider to answer it just gets stuck and doesn't answer the call. I've tried answering it with the hardware key, and same thing. Is there a fix for this? Is it related to the GSM/CDMA dialer thing?

when looking at HTC calendar with "week" view, my appt color seems to be blended into the background, just barely visable. Anyway to change this? I looked through this thread but did not find.

Using a Mar30 build..

thanks for the wonderful ROM so far...

You did not mention which ROM you are using...

If you are using any of the March.2011 ROMs, those have the Leo GSM dialer baked in. It may/not be related. I've seen other users post other odd slide-to-answer issues with these series of ROMs.

The test April.8.2011 ROM from NRGZ posts the other day has the Sprint MR1 BT and CDMA dialer baked in for testing out the BT hangup and various dialer issues. Try that one out if your time permits and see if it addresses items like this.

Interesting. I've rarely use that week view. I tried it on the Feb.27.2011 ROMs and seems to have the same issue. Did it display properly on a prior ROM you had, if so what date/version was it on? We can use that info to help narrow down what may have changed.

Wiki updates made, many courtesy of teradog and initial approvals by him for some of my items...

1. we are now including changelogs in the wiki, un/official. We will put in the exact changelog if available. However, attempts will be made to also include more detailed change information and unofficial items included as best we can.

Hopefully this will cut down on posts asking for changelog changelog changelog.

2. CHT185 mini how to. I know there are still a few folks preferring CHT 1.8.5 like me.

3. Dialer items, eg not being able to get the MSL on the Leo dialer.

4. EPST updates

5. Ring Tones via BT issue (BTAG)

6. other items, see revision history if you so desire

(older items)

- snooze options
- xda_uc info
- etc etc

Teradog also did a lot of clean up last month, so many thanks to him.


If you have any suggestions for items to be updated/included/etc in the wiki, please do not hesitate to ask...

Below has been a workable fix for those who were having problems with answering calls:

It seemed to happen to me when I set the data connection to disconnect after x minutes of inactivity. I created a registry edit [attached, see direct post] that works for me... it runs automatically from my XDA_UC folder. If you use Advanced Configuration, make sure to run this file afterwards. I found this fix to also help with MS My Phone connection issues I was having.
Note: Did not work on 01.Feb 28244 Standard ROM for some reason :/

Yes, the GSM dialers dial 911 just fine and they put the phone in emergency mode which kills DATA and you have to exit emergency mode after the call to resume data capability.

Here in AZ almost everytime it rains I end up calling 911 because some ignorant driver put themself in quite a predicament...
