Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

that is strange tho cause I have a xv6900 and I am using 6.5 21193 and I have no problems. and even when it did freeze I installed that fix and it worked like a charm. maybe try cooking a ROM without it then install it seperatly. you can also install htc streaming media player and go to m.youtube.com and stream them using that player

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Just installed looks great!!!!! Now I will change it up a bit and redo my four icon start menu witch I will share as soon as I get it just right and build both into my next Vogue rom. Thanks again.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

The menu options are reg edits built into what ever .tsk file you have selected in today settings. Some of the themes have the bew menu styles and some have the old ones.

I have that one I just want the SYS folder so I can build my own

Double poster!!! Look before you post!!!

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

LOL I know nothing about cooking a rom. I just flashed to Jdume's Vogue rom but I do have sprint so maybe there is some kind of difference between Verizon's and Sprint's versions that's making the solution not work out for me or it could just simply not working out. But it's cool I am glad that any of you all put any effort in this whole situation in the first place. Something may come up or I can just flash a different 6.5 rom and see what happens.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Jdume, waiting for your next version of 6.5 with all the fixes, I was thinking of installing your last version but if you are cooking something with the last few fixes, I can wait.. (wishing it is today :D )

Can I ask if in your ROM you have the apps : Google maps, PHM regedit, PIM Backup ? Have you tested with PIM backup where you backed up contacts from winmo 6.1 and restored it in 6.5 ?

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

I have mine posted here, it is pretty stable:

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Maybe tonight will see how it goes I can add Office,google maps, and a reg editor and yes PIM back up does work I have been using it alot lately:)

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

No fix, but I can confirm this problem. I also cannot get GPS working. I'm running the ?Alltel? 3.42 radio and GPS worked great for me on 20931.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Has anybody tried PAM or teathering yet? If so, are the registry entries the same? If not what are the issues?

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

I have not even tried GPS yet, after my next rom I'll give it a try and see what happens.

WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

I can't find the original post so I don't know who to give credit to, but someone posted updated .CPR files for the start menu. I wasn't satisfied with a few details, and the approach taken in them (negative left offsets for example) so I made some changes and just figured I'd share. This is a 4 column portrait layout with 32x32 icons and and selection that lies where I think it should.

Enjoy.

Rename from .cpr.txt to .cpr before copying to your \Windows\ folder.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Internet sharing and GPS both work fine on my rom.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

HEY JDUME DO YOU GETA BIOTOUCH EXE ERROR ON YOUR PHONE SOME TIMES? i GUESS IF I ACCIDENTLY SWIPE MY FINGER UPWARDS IT WILL DO THAT BUT I DON'T BE MEANING FOR IT TO HAPPEN. I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE THE MESSAGE DOES NOT GO AWAY UNLESS YOU SOFT RESET.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Same here bro has not happen for a bit now but I did get it 2 or 3 times.

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

DSI76 is whom your refering to, and you should complete the package with a 320x240.cpr file aswell for those who have landscape.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

in winmo 6.1 there was a config txt for touchflo in windows folder that you can edit to stop that I am assuming maybe something similar is in effect in 6.5 as well. I am trying to see if I can find it

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

Great job!

I found that I just had to do this for the StartMenu_Gridscene CPR files:

- Under Image ID="Image", just set Left="31" and Top="7"


Attached are my files for Landscape and Portrait modes.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

You are missing Biotouch.exe, I assume. Just add this attached Biotouch.exe file to your \Windows folder. This is a dummy file that does nothing, but will not cause the error anymore.

The real Biotouch.exe only serves the purpose of allowing you to switch to the next Email account when you swipe left/right with your finger in the mail app. It's really not worth it, because it can take upto 8MB of system memory!!

The one I attached will terminate immediately and thus won't take up system resources.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

has anyone been able to get the settings panel or any new panels made with chome configurator to work?

Freebsd!!!???
 

That supposed to be irony?

You inspire me.=D>

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

I've made no changes to other files though and my file isn't useful unless someone already has the other required bits so I don't think double posting would be advisable. :)

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

I've been meaning to ask a similar question. When I use CHomeConfig, I can add a new panel with pages and even after a softreset, it persists, yet changes like show/hide of other panels do not, and no change I made is visible on the Today screen.

Am I completely confused, or is the "Default Plugin" Titanium, and isn't CHomeConfig the tool intended to modify that plugin?

Titanium_xxxxx.cpr are the file that contain that config I thought as well, but I don't see my changes there either. I created a panel named test with a page named test1, yet there's no sign of those changes in Titanium_240x320.cpr as I'd expect.

Where have my expectations gone awry?

EDIT: I just pulled Titanium_240x320.cpr over to my PC, removed the Photos and PhotosCondensed elements and uploaded back to my phone (not sure if it mattered, but I modified file attributes on the phone first to disable read-only, and system to try and avoid simple file issues). The result was that the "Pictures" entry disappeared after a soft-reset. This leads me to believe that "Titanium" as a plugin is really just a host for other plugins. I expected to see "pictures" as text in the CRP but never did. That makes me think that "Pictures" is a plugin that's either got it's own file, or is built into a DLL somewhere else. It also seems that these CRP files just define where/how certain pre-defined elements are displayed for existing plugins and maybe they allow you to define how additional ones will be displayed. If I'm correct, my next question is, where do I find the actually "pictures" plugin to veryify it exists?

If I'm even somewhat right about this, I think the reason that CHomeConfig isn't behaving as expected is because it's editing the wrong files. At first I thought that maybe it was editing something like Titanium_480x640.cpr instead, but that's not the case. Since SOME of my changes are visible between runs of CHomeConfig, it's clearly persisting SOMETHING. Just don't know what yet.

Still sleuthing.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

From what I understand the default panel configuration in the cpr file is for when you create new panels, they use that as a default setup.
I was thinking I'd make a new panel layout in the cpr and try it out.
Something else I just noticed is that it doesn't seem to use any dialing rules. It always dials 1-***-****. I've verified that the dialing rules are setup and that the area code is correct in the custom connection settings. I'm not sure what could be causing this, and at the same time hoping my carrier isn't going to charge me long distance for local calling. lol

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Okay, I need you Exchange 2003\2007 guys to test this out for me please!

I added a few things to make it more user friendly. I think I have the new Windows Live working, which also threw in MSN Messenger. We have the ability to xfr files via Bluetooth, and I added PocketRAR 3.80 in since there was no file compression software. Flash Video should be able to be played now.

I did not like the stock dialer. This has the Vouge Dialer, which you can make a custom dialer for it easily with TDial (Attached below)...just be sure to select the Vouge Dialer when you are building yours, not the Touch Dialer. I skipped the startup animation this time, so this does boot a little quicker....still not quick enough though.

Office Mobile is in there too, and the Advanced Config and a couple of other tools to keep an eye on what is going on. I added the <Phone Tools> folder again to be sure you can access ##778, ##3424, etc. Just click the icon instead of actually dialing the numbers.

RAM on boot averages ~19.5 MB. Slightly lower average than Beta 1.1, but the initial RAM on boot (the first boot) was 17.41 MB for Beta 1.2 vs. 12.93 MB on Beta 1.1.

Still shows <Contacts> twice on the Titanium screen. Plan on fixing the CPR on the next attempt at perfection if we do not have any major issues.

Try it out.

Titan 21193 Beta 1.2 (with text file)

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

Thanks. Don't even remember what is was that didn't work for me visually, but being a dev that deals with HTML/CSS, the left=31 approach wasn't "pure" and would likely have required additional consideration later so I did my best to use centering and containers to get the same effect. Changing to a 3 column layout now require 2 (I think) changes. If you haven't seen it and/or responded already, look a couple posts up for my question about Titanium CPR files. I'm guessing you already have the knowledge to address that. :)

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

What? :newb:

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

You don't need Biotouch for 21193. The 6.5 scrolling works for everything in my rom without Biotouch, including swiping left/right to the next email folder.

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

That's right, I forgot to mention that! Simply use this registry tweak for 6.5, so that the old TouchFLO scrolling is disabled:

Re: WM 6.5 StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr 4 column
 

I think this problem is only on the Vogue and what we do is put a dummy biotouch.exe in the windows directory and this esentually kills biotouch so you no longer get the error from swipeing your finger up or down witch would normaly call for the cube. I may be wrong.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

This is what I use awile back to kill biotouch found it over at xda. I think there is a txt file in one of them and it tells you the reg. entry to edit as well as replacing biotouch.exe and brn files.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

You guys are still using the Cube? :mrgreen: This is all you need to do to disable that memory hog:

However, this has nothing to do with the touch drivers. The registry entry I mentioned in my previous post enables the driver found in the SYS, and disables the touch.dll/biotouch.dll in the OEM folders.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

This didn't come up because anyone is using the cube intentionally. It came up because I asked why an "up" gesture was causing a biotouch.exe error on one of the ROMs being distributed.

Thanks for the tip on eliminating it.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

I just noticed something interesting....My builds do not have Titanium in them. This must be why I am not experiencing the same issues that you guys are discussing. My build shows "Windows Default" for the Today screen settings. And TouchFlo is not needed. The more unneeded files you cram into these builds, the slower the devices are going to run with 6.5.

So my question is, Why worry so much about the Titanium plug-in when it was designed to emulate the 6.5 Today screen prior to it being available to us???

Just thought I'd bring it up so we can get on to developing WinMo 6.5 to run as it was designed, and then move on to the extras.


You cannot add Nitrous Oxide to an engine with with 2 dead cylinders and expect it to run 9's in the quarter mile. So why add features to an OS that isn't running at 100% yet?....It isn't logical.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Im really feelin this ROM...I like it alot. I have a few issues though. After I flashed it got stuck in the customizations and I had to soft reset. this happened twice as I flashed the ROM again to see if that would help. Also I have not gotten the internet to connect. A little insight on how to make this work would be helpful.
