HTC Scroll/TouchFLO bug in cooked roms - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

so far, i have tried several wm6/6.1 self-made roms here on the forum which to my surprise have all the very same bug when htc scroll is intalled. i even noticed this behaviour on my wm5 which is an official build:
every now and then, when i try to close a window with the x-button, the right bottom menu pops up (if available) instead.
is there any fix for that? because i like the srolling behaviour but just can't stand this stupid interference. and what is even worse: apart from disabling htc scroll through the registry, i just can't get rid of this flawed application in the self-made roms, espacially with cloudyfa's latest which is by far the best rom for prophet nevertheless.
cheers.

Opera Mobile 9.5 build 781 works with AP 4

I just installed the newest opera and it seems to work fine over the previous opera that is cooked in. I only used it for a few minutes but it seems better.

Any extensive use results?
I like it!! Thanks again Irus. You're the man!
Have used it only for a few minutes, but I already have a good feelig about this. My www.smh.com.au webpage is correctly displayed now, whereas it was messed up with the alpha or pre-alpha version. I also feel that it is faster.
Life is getting better and better now....
Will later test the other things like internet banking, other webpages, youtube, etc.
Works on the Dopod U1000 stock ROM without problem.
Can anyone link it someplace else except megaupload? They keep telling me my country has no more available slots...
Thanks.
It Works in IRUS ROM
I am testing with IRUS rom and works.
Just remember , if you have FTOUCHFLO enabled, to set the exclusions for opera9.exe otherwhise the scrolling will be SLOOOOOOOOWWWW
Many improvements, faster, better rendering, settings menu'.....
I have tried it... but netfront 3.5 RC7 is still beter for me...
Thanks for letting us know. Yep, mostly looks nicer, better rendering. Some things are worse though!
** WARNING ** you lose all your favourites! Whoops.
How do I tweak this back to a more VGA-suited application? All menus are double spaced.
The favourites page is now on a grey background, looks worse than before (e.g. Transport for London favicon)
The bottom right popup button is now black instead of transparent. Why!
Also the popup onscreen keyboard bug is still there :-(

this version installs into /windows/opera9
copy the opera6.adr file from application data/opera9 to this folder and lo your bookmarks are restored!
I've been trying to tweak the skin file but it's not playing nicely. Maybe worth looking at some of the CSS files to take care of the other issues.
the rapidshare links are on page 2 in the dev and hacking thread, if ive got a sec ill get hem for you lot

I prefer the opera 9.5 onAP4 as the zoom is at an acceptable level whereas with this cab it is way too large.
I dont use RealVGA so I am not sure if this would improve its appearance.
I have used my bank site with no problems

in address bar type in about:config and you can change that and a whole lot more
thanks irus, I had done this with the beta but forgot how to do this
I'm on AP4 and just tried the megaupload file - won't install because of incorrect permissions.
Edit: I just tried again and this time it installed. Odd.
Well, I've been playing with this for the last hour or so and here's my impression. It renders better than the one that came with AP4. It doesn't scroll the screen with the 4-way like the AP4 version did, but I can live w/o that. It has a bug where most (all?) links can't be successfully clicked until you zoom in on the page - they appear to select by turning red, but the new page doesn't load. After zooming they turn red, then get highlighted, then the progress bar starts to show as the new page loads. One other bug, same as in AP4, it briefly shows each character in password fields before turning them into asterisks.
Edit: the link issue seems to be fixed if you start off at a large enough zoom level. Here are my Adaptive Zoom settings currently, although I may increase the zoom levels further.
Browser Buffer Width: 800 (pixels)
Maximum Zoom: 120 (percent)
Minimum Overview Zoom: 85 (percent)
Minimum Zoom: 85 (percent)
Virtual Screen Width: 800 (pixels)

You have to kill the old Opera if it is running. Otherwise you will get a permissions error.
techntrek settings help, but I'm not sure i liked them as much as the old default ones in the one installed with AP4. Anyone have a list of those? I didn't think to save them.
(You need to restart to make them apply, I didn't realise).
The settings do solve the clicking on a link in zoomed out view, although I'd rather be zoomed out more. It's an odd one, as you can still do the tap and hold click to bring up the menu and it realises you are on a link.
The big positive so far is that you get a progress bar in full screen mode now, so you actually know you have clicked on something. Otherwise I'm quite negative on this release.
The skin is too big and no longer transparent in full screen mode (the right hand corner arrow).
I've had the keyboard fail to display a few times, and as I work in tablet mode this is bad!
It doesn't seem to want to go to my homepage on start-up, but goes there if I click on home.
OK and cancel buttons just display as black boxes on pop-ups.
I think it feels more like a beta than the last build to me.
I made the Minimum Overview Zoom to 70, keep all other values, and also use large font size.
It works well.
Occasionally my onscreen keyboard pops up by itself. When I try toggle it off, the portion previously covered by the keyboard is not 'reclaimed' by the rendering mechanism.
Conflict with Tengo still not resolved.
Black font on black keys om some screen is annoying, but not big deal for me.
I like the big space occupied by the menu bars. Easy for fingers. Just don't like the space taken by each favourite items.
Overall, I like the improved speed and fantastic rendering accuracy as compared to the earlier versions, although it is still far from being stable and perfect. Mine freezes a few times forcing a soft reset.
I've now made this my primary browser over netfront 3.5.

That's not a bug. Lots of apps and platforms do that. It's to allow you to make sure that you've entered the right characters before moving on to the next.
Having played some more, I really like it despite the odd quirks.
The google reader gadget on my igoogle page now works, and google mail is working well (I don't think it did before).
Still had a few more issues...
Sometimes images don't show. You just get an empty box.
And sometimes in forums threads when changing page, or going to the next page in something like google images it doesn't always put me back at the top of the page.
Otherwise it just keeps getting better.

A bug - in most cooked ROMs and current official one

I found the following problem with most cooked ROMs (also including the last official one from HTC) /I tried that on fresh installations in every case/
I like AutoLock feature. So I made a small .reg file to modify one small entry in registry.
The moment this feature is on - if the device becomes locked, the screen goes dim. Problem is - it stays dimmed forever. I tried thousand different solutions - many combinations of registry values, power options, etc. nothing helps. If I lock the device manually - no problem. only with autolock. Anybody knows how to make it work?
Regards,
Vojtek
Maybe you should post your script, so that someone can have a look. Did this work on some previous ROM? Or has it been an ongoing problem?
Try using SmartLock, found on this site.

The official HTC ROM that I used to have before recent official update from HTC - worked very fine with this little registry mod.
The modification is as follows:
HKCU->ControlPanel->Backlight->AutoDeviceLockEnable
default value = 0
I change it to 1. This is all I do after totally fresh ROM update. that causes the dim to go permanently on from the next lock (doesn't matter if it was caused by auto or manual). even If I get back with the value to 0 in registry - problem stays. soft reset (and value set to 0) eliminate the problem.
one more thing - I never use auto-light sensor. My backlight level is always set to 2. with auto-light sensor - autolock works OK. however I loose a lot of battery life since auto-light sensor never allows backlight levels lower than 4.

Vojtek
check out Lumos, it'll let you backlight go as low as you set it to

Thank You for the tip. The tool itself is great. However it is affected same way by the autolock. Autolock causes device to stay dimmed permanently - even with Lumos running.

Vojtek
First off... I'm new around here & still a little flabbergasted by everything WinMo, but this site has already helped me tremendously.
Secondly, I can confirm the AutoLock bug. I updated my Touch Pro to the latest official rom last night. While running through AdvancedConfig (i think...) I noticed the AutoLock option & enabled it. 10 minutes later I was freaking out that I had stuffed up my expensive new toy...
Disabled, rebooted & all is OK again.
First of all - Advanced Config has nothing to do with it (to defend the author).
Second - thank You for support. I could not find a solution for this problem anywhere and I spent hours googling. For the moment I thought that my TP is failed. Seems that nobody uses AutoLock these days. I don't know how everybody's doing it, but without locking, my TP calls to different people (especially from Favourites tab) from time to time...

I require a password/passcode level of security on my device - which the Lock/Unlock feature doesn't provide. Unfortunately, the current security implementation in WinMO 6.x doesn't allow the Today screen to be seen like the Lock/Unlock feature.
As a result of these shortcomings, most folks tend to use a 3rd Party lock application such as: S2U2, mLock, etc. as they provide the desired flexibility.
HTH,
very familiar with this issue. I'm working on it too. It affects the WM6.5 lockscreen for sure and I thought it was a problem with only that. Bugger that it affects official ROMs as well. Good info though, I can stop concentrating on the lockscreen and start looking at power mgmt.

WM6.5 Scrolling Help

*Let me start off by saying that i searched both xda devs and ppc geeks for answers to these questions and still havent found anything that solves my problems. I usually am able to find answers to my questions and thats why this is my first thread*
I flashed my Alltel touch pro to a 6.5 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509544) and I have a few questions about the scrolling feature in wm6.5. These questions pertain to all 6.5 roms and not specifically the one that i have on my phone now.
1) When i want to use a kinetic "finger scrolling" method in contacts (and most other applications like file explorer), i realized that i have to hold my finger down on the screen for about a second then i can scroll kinetically. If i dont hold my finger before i scroll, the whole list scrolls just like how it did in wm6.1 contacts. Is there a way i can keep the kinetic scrolling without having to hold my finger down for a second?
2) In 6.5 the start menu, the kinetic scrolling works well but after flicking up or down, it seems like i am only scrolling page by page. No matter how fast i flick up or down, i can never get to the bottom of the list and just wind up going a page down. Is there a way to get continuous scrolling?
3) When i scroll down the home page to favorites, there is a link to internet explorer. I prefer the Opera browser and was wondering if there was a way for me to either change it to Opera or be able to flick to the left or right and be able to start up Opera.
ANY HELP?!?!
ANY HELP?!?!?
I had this same problem.
Do a hard reset, take the battery out, put the battery back in, then do another hard reset, then take the stylus out, then put the stylus back in, then do a hard reset, then push the D-pad button 17 times, then do a hard reset, then you should be good to go.

Im not looking for some stupid joke, I want a solution to my problem. Ive already tweaked with the registry and cant seem to change the scrolling to my liking. Are there any HELPFUL people out there who could answer my question?
I honestly think it has to do with your rom. I am using 6.5 and i can flick up and down with ease. You can try a hard reset and see if that helps and if not just try another rom. NFSFAN has a nice rom, but the scrolling freezes for about 3-5 sec after a while. The current rom i am using (Energy Rom from ppcgeeks) works fine but there is a time issue with it. It goes back an hour by itself, but there is a fix for it. Or you could try dodge longhorn's rom. Both are pretty stable. If you flash and need a fix for the time issue just pm. Hope this helps.
Just Flash Mighty Rom 6 and you'll be good, scrolling works perfectly.

yeah youre right it has been just that rom. Ive tried others and they dont have the scrolling problem but i wish there was a way to fix it. ive tried energy rom and it looks nice but has been slow for me
Like MOBGansta 184 said mighty rom 6 is really stable and fast. The only thing is that it doesnt have TF3D2. So if you dont mind having TF3D, then thats prob the best rom out there.

Ya, thanks anyways, it doesnt seem to go away for me, and i flashed Chrome rom, and it is fixed now.... thanks anyways, and again, great ROM, chrome isnt compared to it. but i like Wifi
am downloading it now (v13).. lets see. will update on ur link if i run across any problems
This is a great looking ROM. Like its almost ripped out of the TP2 or a Hero. Very quick and responsive. One noticeable isssue Ive had is a resizing problem when texting in landscape. Other than that, im also pleased i barely had to install anything, like almost everything i needed was there already.
Kudos
Just flashed this rom and I'm very happy with it. Runs very smooth and fast.
Only thing is I can't find the keyboard selector. Was it cooked in or do I have to install it? It seems the fuze keyboard is selected and this makes using the hw keyboard on a TP kind of difficult.
Awesome work on the rom!
Is all the hardware button working?

All seem to be working on my touch pro including volume control.
I had to install the fuze / pro keyboard selector to get the hw keyboard working correctly.
Home button
Is there any chance to make Home Button open Manila Home Tab instead of WM start menu?
Hmm I installed chome editor 1.6 and now the lower left button (next to the start button) always says action and when pressed tries to start the htc action screen which isn't there. Is there a way to restore this?
First I want to say Thank You for such a beautiful ROM. It's fast, finger friendly, and professional looking. (Love the slider)
A couple things I have noticed are as followed:
1. Under the Notifications options, when I select "New Text Message", then try to select a different sound it scrolls the window behind the drop down box... not the actual drop down box. Same goes for the "Event" box, but only on some. Hard to explain.
2. Minor but annoying - When waking up and the device is locked, the clock jumps to the bottom of the screen then back up to the top.
3. Another Minor thing - "Start" occasionally shows up on the top left of the screen. Is it always supposed to be there or never? I know it brings up programs.
4. GfxBoost (lol "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE") has some icon issued on the bottom left and right. Bottom left (you can only see 1/4 of the windows logo) and bottom right (Don't know what it's supposed to be)
All-in-all i feel this is a fantastic ROM. I'd love to see what else you got up your sleeve. After about 16 hours I was down to 64% battery with hardly any use, but then again I was in the office where I get ZERO signal!
funny, I can only confirm the first issue. This happens only when using a sweep to scroll. When the slider is used it scrolls ok. I have also seen this pn the activesync screen when selecting message delivery schedules.
I'm running without manilla btw. I love Titanium
I am not registered (yet) on the other forum, hence posting here.
Installed v13 and its amazing.. fast and nice graphics..
Only one issue uptil now. In call recording is not working. It gives an error (something like cannot start ICR, wrong certificate etc..) Can I unistall ICR (not in the remove programs list) and install autocall recorder 1.2 instead? tht gives me more options..?
thanks
Thank You
Very nice ROM, thanks! I haven't gone through everything, but all seemes good so far!
Hey herg!
I had no idea you were a chef too! I flashed your rom and it is kick ass so far...
Aside from TF3D being a little sluggish (not that I care since I no longer use it... iPhoneToday all the way... for now ) it have not seen bugs.
BT file transfer - oK
3G connection - oK
ActiveSync - oK
Battery life - pretty good so far
GPS lock on - to be tested later
Wifi - to be tested later
I will try to report some more later on, but so far... kick ass!
love it
i havent updated to D-fresh-est but your doug-e-fresh is an amazing rom thank you for your contributions buddy im flashing this sucka tonight

in 6.5.1 builds the keyboard selector is gone. Instead, hold down the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and the selector pops up. That's the good...the bad is that it makes it harder to toggle the keyboard off the screen cause pressing it leads to he selector instead of toggling but that's the build, not the ROM. I'm still loving the ROM

Sprint TP 2 stock ROM - Wifi and lock

These Qs probably have been answered many times, but my searches did not return meaningful answers
I'm running stock ROM and do not want to change at the moment until Sprint ships WM 6.5. SO I have 3 issues that have been bugging me big time:
1) How do you force applications to use WiFi? The only way I can make it work is to disable the Phone in Communications tab. There must be a way to do it w/o flashing a new ROM, right?
2) I always thought having a sliding screen lock is a matter of finding the right setting. Well not really. I know and tried the free program called S2U2. However I did not like the interaction it had with the phone and my hands free. Things were slower and the additional layer did not add to better user experience. So is there a way to get the sliding screen lock on this phone w/o flashing non-stock ROM?
3) The call answer slider. Who came up with this? The split nature of that slider bar puts your chances of successfully answering a call at 50/50. I like my chances better with the old style on my original TP. Any way to get that back w/o flashing a new ROM?
Pardon these simple questions, folks, but the have been nagging me for weeks now.
youre in the wrong forum, this is for the Raphael or the Touch Pro.
