Re: cricket Roms
 

Everything was working perfect then all of a sudden the bottom bar just disappears and i had no way into windows/programs and just the keyboard icon stayed but i couldn't open it either, i soft reset, took out my battery and just turned off the phone regular and nothing i did fixed the problem, im gonna reinstall now and see ow things go.

Re: cricket Roms
 

Thank you for the feed back and I'll look into it.

Re: cricket Roms
 

I forgot to mention that when i used the Androkkid and when i tried scrolling thru the programs the screen would slightly darken and would freeze up and i just had to hit the end button to clear it up.

Re: cricket Roms
 

i did the gps reg edits and then installed RichesseGPS (compus) program and messed with the com ports and nothing and ideas?

Re: cricket Roms
 

A couple questions 1st?
What ROM?
Did you make all the GPS setting through QPST?
Does Google maps work? Start google maps, goto options, GPS setting, set to Manually to com 4/ bd rt 4800.
It could also be your program, I'm don't know that program.

Re: cricket Roms
 

I figured it out, i didnt know i had to be on 3g network to get the gps to work, where i live (Ak Chin AZ) im on extended premium coverage network and im only on 1x. and no i didnt do it qpst just thru the PHM RegEdit.

And i just switched to your WM 6.5.1 Build 21889 M2D Sky reflections ROM and i love it!

Re: cricket Roms
 

Ya I love that Sky reflections theme, the good thing is if you don't like it you can always change the skin. Just make sure that it's for the new manila 2d.

Re: cricket Roms
 

i have a question about the themes: where do i get the themes and how to install? I did see a theme folder when looking through the files, is that where they go? Ive found this on xda - developers, is it the right type?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974

i applied a new theme and now the manila wont start back up- just keeps saying tap here to launch touchflo and launching touchflo and just switches back and forth-any fix or ideas?

Re: cricket Roms
 

The themes you have linked above are for the old manila and don't work with the new version. There aren't a whole lot of themes out yet here are some http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575723. To get the touchflo working again try uninstalling the theme you installed, if all else fails you might need to hard reset. But it shouldn't come to that.

Re: cricket Roms
 

These look great Bro!!
I would try em if I was on CricKet.
Nice Work!!

I like the Reflection Manila!! :thumbleft:

Re: cricket Roms
 

I did try those old themes and the clocks were never visible. Do you know how to change clocks? I love analog clocks and just miss having them.

just came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566330 its clocks by twolf and i seen the clock that u had on the rom u made but will they work for me?

i have tried several .png images and none seem to work, the bar where the icons are keeps the sky reflections picture am i doing something wrong?

one more question: hard reset.........is that taking out the battery?

Re: cricket Roms
 

The thread you have referred above by Twolf will work with this version. To do a hard reset hold both the snd (green) and end(red) buttons while poking the hole on the bottom with a stylus.
You have me confused here what exactly are you trying to accomplish. Most if not all of Twolfs clocks are in cabs.
To install a cab you will need to go to settings/home/items and deactivate touchflo then install the cab and reactivate toucflo. I also recommend doing a soft reset. I would not recommend replacing PNGs unless you know what they are going to do and they also match the homesetting XML.
Also when it comes to the anolog clock I have not seen one that works with this new version of Manila very well. One other thing also before making any PNG changes backup the ones your replacing along with the HTChomesetting.xml.

Re: cricket Roms
 

I was trying to change the background on the manilla home screen.

Is there a way to get these clocks here to work with manilla? manipulate them somehow? there in cab file. and their widgets. http://community.pointui.com/topic/p...k-widget-suite

Re: cricket Roms
 

I see well to change the background you can change it by editing the following hh_fw_background.png and hh_fw_focus_background.png to the same image and size. Now keep in mind that you will also need to change the following hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png, classicblue_softkeybar.png, black_taskbar.png to match that image or you will have parts that look like the skyreflections. and again make a back up of the images and the XML before replacing them.

Re: cricket Roms
 

thats some work for me but im gonna give it a try. Any ideas on those analog clocks?

Re: cricket Roms
 

None yet unless you go backwards to the old manila 2d. And if you want to do that let me know and I'll throw a ROM together with it for you.

Re: cricket Roms
 

That would be awesome! Any chance you can do it with your WM 6.5.1 Build 21889? That rom works flawlessly for me and i would like to continue using it. Just a thought, can you also put Home2 build 2.1.04 in the rom also? If you can i can pm you my user name and password to you so you can download it, if not thats ok i can always put it on after. :wav:

Re: cricket Roms
 

I can build it with 21889 with the old manila 2d, now when it comes to Home2 I might be able to shot me your info in a PM and we can give it a shot. What's the worst that'll happen. It's always worth a try right!

Re: cricket Roms
 

Thanks for incorperating my sky reflection theme into your rom!! I spent alot of time on it. please give a little thanks, thats all i ask

Re: cricket Roms
 

if i install this rom do i get the cool looking taskbar like that?

Re: cricket Roms
 

Added the recognition, I had it on there and forgot it when I did my last edit.

Re: cricket Roms
 

Which ROM? Basically the home screen and task bars shown here are what you will get with the ROM.

Re: cricket Roms
 

if im currently runing NFSfans rom right now do i need to go through
the cricket tutorial you posted to use a cricket rom? Since my phone already has its radio updated to be able to use GPS and unlocked to have a custom rom?

Re: cricket Roms
 

The ROMs are pre configured for cricket. So if you are flashing from Bell then yes you will need to follow the tutorial. If you are already on cricKet then flash away my friend.

Re: cricket Roms
 

o maybe im thinking cricket is really something different from wat it actually is.
is cricket a new mobile carrier?
if so, which roms for the vogue available for bell have the cool looking taskbar?

Re: cricket Roms
 

CricKet isn't really new they've been around for over 10 yrs now. The are a child company of leap wireless along with Jump mobile. As far as cool ROMS specific for Bell, I would have no idea. I would start a search with the key words Bell WM 6.5.3 ROM and see what that brings up. Also there are alot of generic ROMS that only require a carrier cab. If you hit me up this weekend I might be able to throw a generic one together if you point out which one peaked your interest.



I flash phones and book freight on weekdays and cook custom ROMS on the weekend.

Re: cricket Roms
 

Installed 6.5.1 and I love it! The only negative is that my battery life went out the window. I thought it was my battery that was no good anymore but I have 3 spares and all of them drained down right away, overnight to be exact. Know anything that might help?\\:D/

Re: cricket Roms
 

What is your normal battery life?
You can adjust setting like the backlight and such but I have never had this complaint or problem.
My personal battery life lasts for 6 hrs of talk or approx 13 hrs standby. I also use my phone for a steady 8 - 10 hrs per day 5 days a week. and charge it about half way through the day, then again at bed time.

Re: cricket Roms
 

Well I was pretty much on the OEM batt life: Talk: 3.5 hours max. (210 minutes)
Standby: 240 hours max. The other thing that is happening is that I have 0 to 1 bars of signal most of the time on the 6.5.1 rom. I was previously on a WM 6.1 rom that the last person had flashed it to before handing it over to me, and that had no signal issues whatsoever, it was even picking up EvDO with full signal strength. I can't seem to get better than 1X now with AT MOST 2 bars (Very rare it actually catches 2 bars)

Re: cricket Roms
 

Sound as though it could be two issue.
If it was just power I would automatically look at the ROM. But with signal issues as well I would stear towards the radio because the OS ROM does not touch that region of the phone. With the 1X issue thrown in the mix I would say the phone has not been properly flashed from the beginning or it could be an issue with cricket. The OS ROM does not touch the region of the phone for EVDO/1X or those vital setting. Only a carrier shipped ROM will affect those areas in the PST and radio.

Re: cricket Roms
 

Hmm,any ideas or suggestions to get the phone to jump back on EvDO? I'm considering reflashing the original alltel ROM and then start from a fresh flash to Cricket, but I need a second opinion before I do anything else

Re: cricket Roms
 

I would personally use the Sprint shipped ROM in my tutorial.

Re: cricket Roms
 

I'm kinda new at flashing but I sit there for hours on end til I figure out what I'm Doing wrong. Thanks for the help. Flashed Sprint rom already, currently jumping back on your 6.5.1 rom

Re: cricket Roms
 

You will need to make the proper EPST settings along with making sure everything is correct in QPST.

Re: cricket Roms
 

Hey tried cricket then went back to my ppckitchen manila rom and the cricket boot screen still comes up instead of mine. any suggestions?

Re: cricket Roms
 

In ppck you can select your own boot, splash, animation, and main splash screens. If you don't select any it will just use the ones that were last put on your phone...

Re: cricket Roms
 

Got everything working right now, signal strength is still a bit iffy but I candeal with it. Only other question I have is: Is there any way to change the soft buttons on the HTC Home homescreen, they're both marked for "Contacts" when regularly one is assigned to Contacts and another to Messages (orsomething else). This doesn't happen in Moto Homescreen or Windows default homescreen

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile; WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50301; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version/10.00)

what version ROM? There are reg edits I will post tomorrow.
