Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

I actually prefer a new thread for a new version. None of this wading through to see where the new version picked up where the old version dropped off. I think some chefs like to see if they can hit that million plus views...:disgust:

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

Every time I attempt to download a rom from your site, it stops between 25 and 45 megs and claims it's completed. I'm not sure what is causing it, but this happens on two different machines(different OS) on two completely different networks (remote download). Is anyone else experiencing this?

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

can someone explain to me what Com2 means? also, what are the improvements on this build from the last build?

dcd	11-02-2009 07:28 PM

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

COM2 is the MS branch with the "old" GUI. The COM2 tag is there to avoid confusion as it will likely be my last release before the "new" GUI.

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

Personally, after trying the new GUI for a bit, I've decided its not ready for prime time use by folks like me (who use a lot of legacy apps).

I've amassed a lot of legacy and hard-to-find apps that just don't play nicely with the new GUI... for example, a foreign language font reader which I use a lot won't let me proceed past the setup screen without pressing OK- but there's no OK, instead there's an X to minimize the whole program. I eventually found a workaround using some hardware keys, but it was an annoying bug and completely unnecessary if you ask me.

Even Microsoft's own app screens just seem out of place, like this is a proof of concept and will be updated before it is finally released. I like the idea, but the aesthetics and app functionality aren't there yet. Maybe in the future. For now, DCD, thanks for keeping the old GUI alive a bit longer.

I know you didn't ask our opinions, but I'd like to cast my vote that you not declare this your last old GUI Rom just yet...

Meanwhile, thanks for the new roms! Will be flashing soon...

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

fuk yes, OLD UI FTW!

still rocking the 95 style (well NT really) StartMenu/Theme but with the new flashy Win7 actions!

LONG LIVE DCD!!! (no2chem seems to be MIA again, otherwise id say the same since ALOT of this fix's and such always seem to end up in the best ROM makers package -hint hint-, also always note that whenever he doesn't most for exactly 31 days the spam bots have fun with his comment system)

Hello DCD, I love your roms from back in the mogul days, I always come back to your roms thanks so much.
I noticed that the zoom wheel around the dpad is not working in the 2.27 rom, I use it to scroll in many programs.
also is it possible that battery life is weaker in this rom or is it just me, or maybe its too early to tell.

I installed a program called wktask which I always use its an excellent task manager and it has its own Ok and X box at the top right corner and it works well even with the new WM 6.5.1. try it out its freeware, here is a link

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

So, COM2 is 6.5, and COM3 is 6.5.1? Is that correct? I am currently running the stock 6.1 from HTC (July release for US Cellular) and would like to upgrade to 6.5, but don't really want to mess around with problems caused by the moved start button and all that. I used one of the DCD ROMs for my Titan and loved it. Looking for the most stable 6.5 ROM now for my Touch Pro...

Besides- with wktask, I'd STILL have an X on the bottom that doesnt do what I want as well as an X on top that does. Part of my gripe with the new UI is how messy and unfinished it all feels. Having a redundant X with different properties would make it even worse!

Sort of- 6.5.1 isn't an official name for anything- its just what forum-goers have decided to call the leaked builds with the new UI. And there are various forms of the new UI as well, I believe. DCD is using the one internally referred to as com3 for one of his roms, while this one keeps the traditional UI (com2). Correct me if I'm wrong, DCD.

But yes, as far as fast and stable for touch Pro, this may be your best choice, although be prepared to install a lot manually- his rom is very bare bones (which I LOVE about it).

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

Ah, thanks for clarifying that. As long as it has the basics (like his titan ROMs had) I am fine with installing all of the other apps. If I come across an app that isn't in the ROM and I can't find a cab for, I know a couple great sites to check...

OT: I have mainly been using MS 3.5 with TFDetacher to switch back and forth between MS and the TF3D in 6.1. As soon as I get confirmation that this will still work, I will probably upgrade :)

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

Have my phone backed up, going to work on gathering all the cabs I need for the flash tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

EDIT: flashed and some of the cabs reinstalled. A few seem to have finally gotten too old (they were pre-Titan programs) but that just means I need to find better ones now, right? I have to say the today screen is a LOT nice than 6.1. Haven't even looked at TF3d yet, not sure I really want to either, that's how much I like it as-is. Another great rom DCD, thanks!!

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

Ok, first off, I love the ROM. However, before I upgraded I could sync my Napster To Go subscription with my Touch Pro just fine. Now, I can sync with my computer, but Napster won't even register it as being connected. WMP will see it, but won't transfer because "The content provider has not granted you the right to sync this file. Go to the content provider's online store to get sync rights."

Nothing has changed other than the ROM. I have looked around the forums here as well as Napster's and HTC's, and have come to the conclusion that there was something in the base ROM dealing with DRM that is either conflicting now, or was accidentally removed from the build. I really don't want to have to remove all the DRM just so I can play music on my phone. When it works, it is 'click download, click add to device, enjoy'.

Anyone have any ideas? I have a full backup from SPB Backup (including registry) that I spent all day going through comparing to the current setup, but didn't notice anything that jumped out as a possible fix. I really do not want to have to pick between listening to music or having a great ROM...Willing to work with people on figuring this out, as I am not the only one this has happened to.

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

I had a similar problem with windows media licensing. Unfortunately, it's been a while so I don't remember the details. But I think the problem occurred even when I just hard reset. You could go back to the previous ROM to see if it's the ROM or something else. Sorry I can't be of more help. I remember posting here and/or xda for help, but I don't remember anyone answering.

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

I think I might have seen your post somewhere. DCD or any other devs have any news or info about this? If it was removed and there is a good reason (fear of riaa reprisals or the like) or if we are just a low minority of 'customers' that it was taken out to save space/etc for the masses, that's fine with me, but some news would be nice ;-)

Currently only have the following apps:

Total Commander
dcd taskman 2.1.34837
J.S. Advanced Config 3.3
Opera Mini 4.2.13216

If there are any updates for any of these, I will gladly take them, have a 1500mAh extended battery that goes down 1% every couple minutes, and the regular stock 1340mAh battery is a lot faster at draining. :???:

Re: dcd's hermann ROM 2.27 (COM2)

sadly id like to know whats going on...

schapps went MIA last year because of the buzz his AdvConfig generated (well mainly the mountain of problems that came about because he tried to make it NON device or series specific and the complaints about said problems instead of just reporting the problem... i think most dev's/chef's need to open a mantis bug tracker... IMO)

no2chem has been silent for almost 2 months now... and when hes silent and not on the trail of being godlike with his apps/fix's, the WM World as we know it weaps and starts to suck more

DcD, well hes not getting PAID (like a job), and i dont think donations are as much as they where once, i dont know if its school or work but i think hes busy as hell with IRL stuff... or lost his interest :(

IMO this world is going to shit fast... i really hate the TP but until i get a better paying job or get a free upgrade to the TP2 (1: on my 5th TP, 2: just because i hear the TP2 is SOOO much better with almost none of the problems the TP2 suffers from) im stuck with it... it doesn't bode well when some of my most loved dev's/chef's go MIA/Silent/RageQuit...
