[ROM][06-11] LatROM 23569 - Clean & Updated

[Casabian]

I've been looking for a clean rom that didn't have all the junk so many others do. Went from Juicy to building my own with Calkulin's kitchen.

Flashed to this and it looks great, only problem is I can't find Activesync. Also was looking for information on people messaging ie how to remove it. Is there a cab to revert to normal HTC messaging. Anybody have a solutions to these problems?

Anyway looks great so far, hope you continue with it and keep us updated.

Yup, that's how I started along the lines of a clean ROM too...being a former Juicy user


RE: the Activesync, my bad. I think I may have been a bit too thorough making everything clean...haha. You can just copy and paste to \Windows\sync.lnk to your start menu in the meantime.


As for the original HTC messaging, I'm not sure why you'd want it (it's pretty slow and if you have a significant number of messages, sometimes crashes). I tried throwing together a cab to revert back to HTC messaging for you, but it conflicts with the new messaging client cooked in.

Anyways, if it's just the text bubbles you dislike, you can play around with these registry keys:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"People.Message.BitMode"=dword:0
"People.Message.ChatBoxMargin"=dword:50 ; hex
"People.Message.FontSize"=dword:2
"People.Message.ItemPerPage"=dword:a ; hex
"People.Message.ShowOldMsgTime"=dword:1
"People.Message.UseChatBoxUI"=dword:1
"People.Message.UseInputBoxSkin"=dword:1
"People.Message.UseNaviTitle"=dword:1

People.Message.BitMode - bit encoding mode for characters. 0 for 7-bit (160/153 default), 1 for 8-bit (140/133), 2 for 16-bit (70/67).

People.Message.ChatBoxMargin - size of margin between edge and max speech bubble width, default is 80 (0x50h).

People.Message.FontSize - size of font used for text messages, range 0 - 8, default is 2.

People.Message.ItemPerPage - max number of text messages per page, default is 10 (0xAh).

People.Message.ShowOldMsgTime - 1 to show time stamps on old text messages, 0 to hide.

People.Message.UseChatBoxUI - 1 to use speech bubble ui, 0 to use classic list.

People.Message.UseInputBoxSkin - 1 to use messaging client skin, 0 to use classic skin.

People.Message.UseNaviTitle - 0 to use classic header, 1 to use navigation header, 2 to use compact navigation header.

Thanks for the help and the above code, just changed it to 0 and everything is perfect. I found that I could use Activesync through the data services in the settings tab, so no real problem there for me anymore.

Great rom so far. My phone is finally usable. Cheers.

One problem their is 2 usb to pcs in the connections folder... whats the fix for that i kno a couple other roms have that too.. other than that Everything is the S***

Gave this a go as I always liked RZ's roms. Two issues I'm having:

1. I don't like the keyboard. If I try switching to any other keyboard through options it looks like it switches but next time I use the keyboard I get the default one. I also don't seem to be able to install any other keyboards like fingerkeyboard. The install seems to go fine, no errors. But I never get the option to switch to it, nor does the fingerkeyboard icon show up in any of the menus.

2. This isn't a problem specifically with this rom, I have had it with a couple others like Energy's and such. But it works perfect in roms like Tank Roms and Root Roms. Youtube playback is stuttery/jumpy that's if it even starts at all. Sometimes I have to click a video wait a min with the rotating connecting message, then click back and click the video again and it starts. Though it starts with a great chance of being stuttery/jumpy.

For your keyboard to change you need to get sip change, and that will allow you to change your keyboard

SIPChange.CAB

Your welcome
