ive seen him posting in a couple rom development threads on xda, but none started by him. i don't expect him to start a thread until he officially launches 1.0 dcdrom for the touch pro, as of now its just a beta for us to sample

Thanks for chiming in agrenwa. Just to clarify. If I have a long list of email headers within my inbox, that list scrolls fine. If I open a single email, once inside the email message, the scrolling does not occur. Can you confirm that within an email message, your scrolling works? If so, I will probably hard reset and not install any cabs until I test.

you are right when I open an email I can't scroll.
I'm wondering if this would change by installing manila/touchflo

Anyone install DCD's album manager cab? I cannot playback videos in Album Manager. It either shows a black screen or just crashes the manager. I had the same issue with album manager 3.0. It appears that the video codecs are either missing or just not working for album manager. I can play the videos in Media Player and CorePlayer.

Any idea on what is needed to get Album Manager video playback working?

I have the same problem and unfortunately don't have a solution. I ended up flashing another rom for that reason plus the fact that I can't slide to the next picture. I tried installing another htc album, and that didn't help either.

I have Album Manager 3.0 working fine with sliding, zooming, but the videos won't play. I've tried many versions of Album Manager and all show the same issue, so it must be the base rom which is missing a needed component. Oh well, at least I can play the videos in Media Player, so no big deal.

Ok- to clear up a few questions I see people asking here:
1) Full finger/kinetic scrolling (ala iPhone) is NOT native to the Windows Mobile OS in versions earlier than 6.5. The stock roms from HTC for the Touch, Diamond and Tpro use their own finger scrolling system, called TouchFlo (This dates back to the original Touch/Vogue, not to be confused with Manilla, aka TF3D). Without TouchFlo, the only way to get finger scrolling was to install a similar app like FtouchFlo/FtouchSL, which runs as a layer over the OS and works more or less the same way as HTC's. Personally, I found FtouchFlo to be more powerful and configurable than HTC's TouchFlo (you can set programs to ignore it if they have scrolling of their own, ie many mapping apps).
That's not to say that all 6.1 versions are devoid of native scrolling- Microsoft apparently started trying it out around build 20931 and onward. Their native scrolling only worked in certain specific situations, such as start menu programs and lists (contacts, file explorer, etc) However, the native scrolling did NOT work in pIE or messaging (IE6 and IE8 have their own built-in scrolling mechanism instead). In order to have system wide scrolling, you either need to have HTC's TouchFlo (or one of the Ftouch variants) installed, or move to the more robust 6.5 native scrolling.

I think what many of you are seeing here is a very clean 6.1 rom devoid of add-ons such as TouchFlo, so that you may add one of your choosing. Since it is a late 6.1 base, it has some scrolling, but specifically scrolling within application windows (messaging view) will not work unless it has its own scrolling engine.

2) Album view relies on another HTC app called Full Screen Player (writing this from memory, I believe that's the app name. If not, something generic to that effect) to play mp4 with hardware acceleration. In fact, Full Screen Player and WMP are the only 2 known applications at the moment to play H.264 video (normally a very CPU-intensive decoding process) with full quality on the Touch Pro because of proprietary Qtv driver hardware acceleration. (more on that here) If you're using Album, the videos may thumbnail fine, but just be a black screen without this other app.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion- let me say, as someone who was there rooting DCD on with his first titan roms, I'm really happy to see him taking a stab at the TP. DCD man, we should talk. Hit me on the chats one of these days. I know you read this from time to time!

I'm sure you helped some ppl out with your post. I knew about the QTV issues, but I din't know about album view needing full screen player. Hell, I dont use HTC album to play videos anywhow.
