Even after a soft reset, I got the message while Sense was loading up. Any other tricks or tweaks I can try to resolve the issue? Other than the memory problem this is the best ROM I've ever used!

I just checked memory, storage= 30mb free, program= 98mb free, thats one downside to manila 2.5....it takes up more space

first of all, I konw you been gettin nothing but "thanks, great rom" but its true, it really is appreciated.

Second. Is there a way to add a "games" folder shortcut to the programs under the clock since I only get 6 and on the old tf3d roms there was a way to add a games shortcut where it just opened the folder.

Third.the animted wallpaper on my today home doesnt work half the time, is there something special that toggles it or a way for it to show the weather animation every time I'm in the home tab?

thx...it's my pleasure :D

it doesnt appear there is a way to add a shortcut to a folder, there may be a workaround but I'm not sure

are you using the weather animation? if so, it will only play the animation after certain events, like going to the start menu & back or bring up the phone pad then go back to home. it doesnt play just by going from one tab back to home....I'm not sure why, but it is intended.....this has been discussed b4...

I have tried many autolocks previously & found most of them were not consistent. Then I found the one I've attached, it works perfectly!!! Best one I've found.

Take a look at the first file posted there (Applications - e-Natives Showcase Suite 1.1.0.zip). As previously stated, what I've done is remove the all the ways of opening the enatives suite task manager component as this is what cause our devices to freeze (i.e removed icons in start menu and changed the hold start menu binding).

This reg entry :
"SUITE_TaskManager_Path"="\\Windows\\taskmgr.e xe"
Allows you to bind the start button to any app you want, I've just chosen the default task manager.

The result is a functional X button close, no freezing at all, and an easily accessible task manager.


thx, I need to look into this, as I need a good solution for closing apps in 6.5.x builds....do you still cook in the task manager or just showcase?

all manila 2.5 features are cooked in only, no cabs

I know there are some that will work, I just have tried any.

well honestly i think manilla is looking for a wifi connection instead of the 3g data connection because it wont turn it on to use it. i have to use wifi to do twitter or weather and for facebook. but google maps finds the connection but nothing in manilla does. so i say go wifi until the bug is fixed

I'm not using wifi, I can log into facebook, twitter & weather works fine.

I don't think you really answered his question. ~60M total memory is most likely what it should show when you are using a manila 2.5 rom. With the diamond we have 256M ROM for storage, the resulting total memory you will see on your device equals '256M - size of unpacked ROM you using' (so if you have 62M total memory being displayed, the ROM was most likely ~194M unpackged). Manila 2.5 ROM's are much bigger than previous ROM's because of all the extra dependencies (I've never made a ROM that was over 130M, now I can't make one under 160M), this is why you are seeing a smaller total memory, and why you don't have nearly as much free space.

So you surely do have more than 62M of total memory, but you only have 62M that you can actually use. If you've ever tried to overwrite a file that was part of the ROM (i.e you didnt add it after flashing), you will see that you do not get back the space of the original file (i.e you can never get that back that space) and the new file will take up space from your 'total displayed memory'. (not just the difference, the entire file size)

Here's a question... I notice a lot of time that when I install a program it reduces the available "Storage" memory" rather than "Program" memory, why is that? I currently have 47Mb free "storage" and 89Mb free "program" and would rather have post flash stuff install there of course (btw, currently of a manila 2.1 rom for now, but been going back and forthe). Is there a way to make things install in "program" memory as opposed to "storage" memory?

I tried about 3 or 4 or these programs a few months back and they each had pro's and con's and were buggy. I just yesterday checked again and there had of course been some more recent updates. Here is the one i put on yesterday. It's lite and seems to be functioning bug free for two days..

That's because Program memory is a misleading label... Program memory is the phones actual RAM or CPU Memory, while the Storage Memory is actually the Storage space left on the device for programs and files. Anything you install to the device will lower the Device storage. The program memory will fluctuate depending on how many things the phone is trying to do at one time. Install to the Internal Storage when possible.

Exactly,

Program Memory = RAM available
Storage = Flash(i.e actually writable storage) memory available

Just showcase, htctaskmanager is uneeded with this setup.

I don't know if some technical point keeps this from being possible, but with Manila 2.5 so large, maybe something you could do would be to distribute your ROMs with two files? One would be the ROM file to flash, and one would be an additional zip that would be unzipped to the root of Internal Storage.

This way, all the programs like Opera that work from flash that you would like to bundle can still be bundled, and the whole thing together would still be fully working out of the box without the user having to install more programs, but it would save on scarce storage memory. The shortcuts to all of the programs on internal storage could already be cooked into the ROM.

Thoughts?

Ok, so I just flashed the 28002 w/Manilla 2.5 ROM and Opera 9.7 and now I have about 39MB of free 'Storage' space, vs the less than 1MB I had previously when running Opera 10.0. I had installed a few apps before, so I'll keep an eye on the free space that I have as I install some of the apps I had previously.

It is looking into the issue but i just want to check if anybody else is experiencing any issues syncing calendar. It was a painful process of me going in and deleting 280 appts on my calendar manually. hopefully its the server issue.

I haven't seen that problem or any others with several versions of 6.5.3. Did you use pimbackup..i tried in..once..and ended up with duplicates of everything which led me to http://www.apptodate.org/dupededupe.cab which you will find helpful if it ever happens again.

Resco File Explorer allows you to send a shortcut to a folder to the Start menu which you can then add to the quicklinks

thx, I'm gonna do some testing/flashing tonight and try to get it working.

also, I'll be working on adding some updates....

-12 quick links
-Opera 10 via EXT instead of cab/customization

I feel I'm missing something
