After a flash with your rom I just get to the Bell screen and it freezes there, I don't see any other posts like this so I don't know what is different on my phone from others. I am able to load another rom and it boots.

Does anyone know what is going wrong?

Same issue with the Verizon version on my Touch. Loads the first screen and then nothing. Waited for about 10 minutes.

There was a last minute rush to build them...you should never archive an OEM folder, and building 2 roms at once....It causes non-flashable roms. I rebuilt using the OEM setups, and they flash fine. I'll re-up them this sunday as it is time consuming. I won't rush this next time.

Lesson learned!

Ok, I will wait till next week to flash the rom then, at least the issue has been solved.

Here is an update on the Bell, and maybee other NBH packages. When updating the v1.4 Bell SYS, it didn't get deconstructed correctly with all the needed files. I used the same sys for the Bell 2.14 M2D rom, so the problem carried over. I will be fixing both of these soon and check the others for flashability. The OEM packages are good, and...That is what this project was all about. The NBH rom packs were "extras". So I'll fix them as soon as I have time. Keep an eye out for v1.41 and v2.141

RSTG_Bell_M2D_NBH_v2.141

This one I tested and here is the changelog. I'll get to the others as I can...

-- rstg_xxx_m2d_v2.141 ------------- 11/6/2008
- Fix for kitchen errors that prevented NBH from flashing correctly
- Added GPSToday Application v0.9.9.3 w/GeoMail and GeoTagger.
- These will be updated over the next week as my time permits.
- Updating a "streamlined" Kitchen where ALL you have to do is insert the OEM package you choose. No more decompiling.

Edit: Maybee I shouldn't try to maintain 15 different kitchens on the ol' HDD...

Thank you for fixing this rom, I will be loading it in a few minutes, I am starting to Like M2D, at first it was very limited and didn't offer the versatility of say Ultimate Launcher but it has improved lots. I tried Dette's and the Cristal roms, Cristals was really nice with a couple of problems but heavy on the battery. So I would love to try the M2D interface with the offical Bell rom and see how it fairs on power consumption.

The battery life is great on this series. But watch out for GPSToday, it can suck it dry quick. It's accessable through the launcher tab and starts on boot. It can be disabled in the program or by deleting \windows\startup\gpstoday.lnk

Ok Loaded the rom and it looks great so far, I just had a quick look as I have to get some work done but this weekend I will finish setting it up. I have set up the stock bell rom and used spb clone so I can go back to my original set up stock rom, now to set up 2.141 and back it and the 1.41 later, that way I will have 3 roms of choice that will take a few minutes to change.

I really like what you are doing, making stable base roms that people can build on and get the most of there phone (stable rom, low power consumption, and only the programs you want).

Thanks again.

Oh 1 question, do you know how I can get the power displayed on the top, not a biggy but nice to have a quick look at rather then digging for it.

I'm glad your getting some use out of my monster! Are you customizing the NBH or using the OEM package? Just curious as to what is being used....

I have used VistaHideBatteryGuage, or more recently Batti v2.4 which has more options. Here's an OEM, you may have to search for a .cab.
OEM_Batti-2_3.............................................Batti Battery Guage v2.3
And my boss has let me off early saturday so I can update the others, You gotta be good to yourself!

I loaded the cab version of the above and it is the one I like, simple and out of the way. I have yet to make or customize a rom, I bricked a wizard a year ago and have been not as keen to experiment as i have a 3 year contract I am on.

I do find the power consumption of Manilla a little high when using the phone (internet and MP3), I am not sure I want to stay with it, I think I will try Ultimate Launcher again and load it up with programs and see how that fairs against Manilla once I have backed this up and loaded the 1.41 rom. I found SPB PocketPlus to be pretty good, maybe the best on the power side, I was surprised that fully loaded with apps I could still listen to music (MP3) and the phone didn't even get a little warm and the battery held up good.
