Figured I would make a thread for this to keep the S2U2 thread uncluttered
A_C's wonderful S2U2 introduced support for weather forecast display if you used some apps to get weather, or you could use "User" generated weather data in the registry.
I never have good luck with those weather apps, but I am handy with mortscript - the following script works with S2U2 *and* rlToday, giving you the current weather and the forecast for today or tomorrow.
REQUIRED:
SU2U 0.95 or later, installed, with UserWeather enabled in settings
MortScript 4.1 installed
CHANGES:
In V2.1 I've cleaned up the system paths so they are not hard coded
* this should work no matter where you have MortScript installed
In V2 I've updated the script as follows:
* if your cellular radio is OFF, the weather check is skipped - it will try again on the next scheduled time (ie, it works right when you are in flight mode)
* if there is any runtime error at all, the script quietly quits now, and tries again on the next scheduled time
TWEAKS:
Near the top of the script, you must edit the various settings (see below) to get your weather, and to have it update as often as you want.
You can also change some lower-level parts of the script - if you don't want it to switch to tomorrow's weather forcast after 4pm, remove these lines from the script:
Code:
# get tomorrow's weather if hour past 4pm (>15)
if (hour > 15)
notDone = -1
endif
If you want to change what is shown on the S2U2 screen, edit this line in the script:
Code:
weather="W|"&code&"|"&hitemp&"|"&lotemp
Change the W to an S to get the Spb weather icons
Change code to ccode to show the icon for the current weather, not the forecast for the day
Change lotemp to temp to display the forecast hi temp / current temp
INSTALLING AND RUNNING
Unzip the attached zip file
Copy notiweather.mscr to /Windows/Startup
If you have run a previous version of this script, you can copy clearweather.mscr anywhere onto your device, and run it once - it will ask if it can clear the notifications... tap Yes. Then you can delete the script
Run the notiweather.mscr script by navigating to it in a file browser on your device and double tappping it. It should silently run - if it works you should see some data activity. Run S2U2 and see if you've got some weather.
It is safe to run the script manually to update the weather - it will also update the next run time to be whatever you have it set for in the script.
WEATHER PANEL ICONS
S2U2 has an incomplete set of Weather Panel Icons.
Go to http://www.desktopsidebar.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2441&pid=30068&mode=threaded&show=&st=&
Link for full stardock set of weather icons is at bottom:
http://www.desktopsidebar.com/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1489
That set includes the missing 33.png, among many others - unzip those into your gfx\weather folder overwriting what's there, if you're using UserWeather and don't have a full weather icon set. Seems to make S2U2 much happier - still not sure if/when the weather display is updated, will try and nail down some examples for A_C to test.
TROUBLESHOOTING/INTERNATIONAL
One user reports that the code used to automatically connect to the internet fails on his device. Changing the Connect() call as follows fixed it:
Original line:
Connect("The Internet")
Change to:
Connect("Internet")
Try that if the script complains for the connect call.
Original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1756216&postcount=337
Attached is a mortscript that uses yahoo's weather rss feed to fetch the weather and put it in the right place,right format for S2U2 "userweather" - so you can have weather even if you don't have a weather app
Unzip notiweather.zip, and then edit notiweather.mscr in a text editor...
You NEED to edit the file before you put it on your pda - at the top are three settings:
Code:
# USER SETTINGS, CHANGE AS DESIRED
# how often to try and get the weather
delayHours = 2
# your location (see http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ on finding your location)
location="95129"
# desired units for temp, f or c
units="f"
Change those as desired, save, and copy the script to /Windows/Startup
You can launch the script manually or soft reset.
The script uses the notification manager to run every delayHours and fetch your weather.
It issues a Connect call to "The Internet" if no network connection is present.
It formats the weather correctly and puts in in two registry locations:
#for s2u2 UserWeather
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\A_C\S2U2\", "UserWeather", weather)
#for rltoday
RegWriteString("HKCU", "\Software\emerym\", "Weather", rlweather)
If you are just using S2U2, all you need to do is edit your registry and add ShowWeather, DWORD 5.
If you also use rltoday, you can use that second registry value in your skin.xml to get a string with the current weather + today (or tomorrow if after 4pm's) weather and hi temp
Code:
<Registry x="119" y="52"key="key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\emerym\Weather" alignment="center">
</Registry>
If not, you can just ignore that, or even edit the script and cut out those parts...
It's all working very well. Thanks to A_C for this great app!
Lemme know if anyone runs into any issues.
Change log:
V 2.2: 15-01-2008 - use system paths from Mortscript to set up notifications
V 2.1: 13-01-2008 - skip check if cell radio off, handle errors cleanly
V 2: 22-12-2007 - first working version
V 1: unreleased test version
What version of Mortscript are you using? I'm using 4.1 and I got "DelayHours command unkown". 4.1 wants set DelayHours,2. So I assume we are using diffent versions.

I'm on 4.1 and it works for me. Is it because it should be delayHours = 2 ?

My bad. Somehow I still had Mortscript 3.1 loaded. I loaded 4.1 and it works perfectly. Thanks.

I put this mortscript on my device, and I do not get any errors, but nothing is displaying on my s2u2 lock screen. Do I need to wait for it to update?
I am using SU2U version 0.97 and MortScript 4.1. When I launch manually, I could get the weather infor. On the other hand, the auto update always complains of Mortscript not being able to be run. I had set the updating to 1 hour internal. Not sure if there is a limitation on how ofter Mortscript could be run or that 2 hours is the lowest interval that I can set.
It should "just work" with mortscript 4.1, however it depends on the installed mortscript being in a specific location.
For those who have problems, you might try editing the lines
# kill any lingering notification
RemoveNotifications("\Windows\MortScript.exe", "\Windows\Startup\notiweather.mscr" )
# set notify for myself at next time
RunAt( utime, "\Windows\MortScript.exe", "\Windows\Startup\notiweather.mscr" )
Near the top. They're going to need to have the correct path to the Mortscript executable - mine is in the \Windows folder, but it could be \Program files\Mortscript or even somewhere on your storage card.

You do need to run it once - assuming it runs correctly the first time (see the note above regarding the path to the executable) it should update the weather right away - you should see the data activity and then, within a minute, the weather should update if you've set S2U2 to use UserWeather.
I'm going to check tomorrow, I am pretty sure I can get rid of the path to the executable in the code - sloppy on my part, sorry! That's the hazard of releasing scripts you write for your own use
I am hoping this can get working...I miss having a temp on my phone. I used to be a big fan of weatherpanel, but it left a lot of undeletable junk on my phone.
I have MortScript 4.0, does that matter?
Also, mine was in an A2DP folder, I just copied it to the windows folder.
Just tried this, and still no luck.
I am running WM5 with a Treo700wx.
OK...
I installed MortScript 4.1 and got this working.
It gives me tongiht's forcast, but gives me a SUN with CLOUDS. It seems to be the wrong icon.
Also, any way to edit this to display the current temparture.

Sure... you've got the source, do whatever you want with it
You can put the current condition icon for display, instead of the forecast...
Note this line:
Code:
weather="W|"&code&"|"&hitemp&"|"&lotemp
code is the "forecast code" for today. If you put ccode in there instead, it will show you the current conditions icon instead. You could also put temp in place of lotemp if you wish to show the hitem/curtemp in S2U2
Oh wow...
This is beautiful!
I love the customization.
Wow...And this comes from an RSS feed right, so If I wanted more weather, I could get an RSS grabber, right??

Yep - they have quite a bit of info in the feed. I just grabbed some bits to make s2u2 and rlToday weather displays. Enjoy! If you do something cool, post it back here.
Just what I was looking for!
This is just what I was looking for! If I try to run the program again, while it is already running, what happens? Does it create another instance of the program? Could I use this as a means of manually updating my weather?
Thanks!
Thanks for the script, it works great. Can you tell me how to change it so, it will not get tommorrows forcast but, always display the current/hi. I changed it to "temp" & "hitemp" and it works great but, at 4pm it shows tommorrows forcast.

Actually, the hitemp will change at 4. The temp will always be the current temp.
I am loving this script.

Delete or comment out (put a # at the beginning) those lines to stop having it look ahead to tomorrow's forecast. Or change the 15 to some larger number - it's a 24 hour clock there so 16 is 4pm, 20 is 8pm, 22 is 10pm...
That's cool but, how do I change it so it will change the hitemp at say, 11pm instead of 4pm? Thanks for the help.

It's perfectly safe! Run it anytime to update the weather and reset the "next update" time for you.
It uses the notification manager to run itself in the future. If you look at the chunk of code at the top of the script where it says
# set up for next notification
you can see that the first thing it does when it runs is, it removes its own notification request (which does nothing if its not there, but keeps it from making multiple entries if it is there) and then sets up the next one... then it gets the current weather.
So you can run it whenever you want to refresh things.

11pm is 23 in 24 hour time, so if hour > 22, then you want tomorrow's time - change the 15 to a 22 in the if statement...
if (hour > 22)
and from 11pm you will have the next day forecast
Or you can just delete the whole block, because it will always show the current forecast without that block of code. So after midnight, the current forecast should be for that next day, right?
[ROM][VZW][12.27.08]VZ Nav ROM 2.1-lllboredlll P2 GPS Edition-(WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20931)
PLEASE SEE POST #2 for issues / FAQ's.
Its here!
Ok, I updated the ROM with Bored GPS phase two technology to bring you the easiest and fastest way to get GPS running on your XV6850. The instructions have been updated for use. Only MAJOR change besides asthetics is how you launch the GPS fix. I made it a little simplier ;c) See updated instructions below!
I also added some eyecandy, fancy icons in taskbar, battery percent over battery icon in 1% increments.
Preface::
This ROM is based on the eRice kitchen like my last couple ROM's. It has a modified version of the llllBoredllll GPS Fix. I modified it to create a link to PPST.exe in Programs -> Navigation -> Installation. In that folder you will also find three other installers for the latest version of Google Maps (with the new feature set)and Live Search. All tested and working with GPS locks usually under 60 seconds.

*Free Memory on boot
With TF3D running = 65 Megs
Without TFD Running = 71 Megs
Instructions UPDATED 27 Dec 08:
1. Flash phone - Phone flashes and autorun kicks in and then reboots.
2. Phone now displays welcome center and you click on screen to continue. No need to calibrate, I did it for you ;c)
3. Next hit start -> Programs -> GPS-> lllboredlll GPS fix.
4. Select OK to proceed with update. When that is finished select OK when prompted to reboot.
5. Now Dial *22899 and activate. Phone will reboot on its own.
6. Now we need to enable GPS in windows and verify the PRI update worked. Start phone by pressing green button. You will need to make a call to do this. Dial your voice mail. It should ring in to it no problem and the carrier should stay VZW on the screen. Now click Menu -> Options -> Serivces Tab -> Location Settings -> Get Settings -> Location On -> OK ->ok
7. DONE!
At this point you are done and GPS is unlocked. You can start installing the included GPS apps if yiou choose.
**The included apps have been modified to put the shortcuts in the Navigation Folder under programs. They are the latest versions respectively as of 20 Dec 2008 11:49PM Central Time. They can be uninstalled later to accommodate updated software! Don’t ask in the thread because you will look really silly as I have answered the question here.
Installing Live search and Google Maps then making them compatible, Step by Step!
How to set up Live Search
Start-> Programs -> GPS -> Live Search
Select Menu -> Settings. Arrows Done to GPS COM0 and change it to GPS COM4. Select Done
Now select Map. This brings up the default map. Next turn on GPS by pressing Menu -> Center on GPS.
It can take a few minute for a first fix. After that it much quicker. I also recommend toggle Center GPS on and back off again if it doesn’t pick up in under 90 seconds as a matter of fact the program will force you to. If it forces you to then click Ok then toggle “Center on GPS” off then back on and it will lock quickly! First lock is always hard on fresh flash. After that you should be good to go.
How to set up Google Maps
start -> Programs -> GPS -> Google Maps
Select Menu -> Options -> GPS Settings
Select Set manually and then arrow down and select COM4 then change baud rate to 4800. Now click ok.
Now Select Menu -> Use GPS and you will then lock on!
How to set up TomTom 7
Just install and run. It configures on its own. Atleast ver 7.45. I am running it without issue.
Remember: Be patient! It may take a couple soft reset to get it to work but it will. Trust me. Worse case scenario I had with a flash was I had to try twice in Live search then exit live search, toggle location off and back on, restart Live Seach and it locked instantly. Most of the time it will lock on the second try. Its been about 90% consistent under 60 seconds for me. A brand new phone took only two tries with live search and it got it within 15 seconds on the second try.
Note 1: This was done on a brand new in Box XV6850 straight from the VZW store and worked as stated above. These were also conducted using the stock Radio. This was done in the office basement of my house completely below ground. These are results are repeatable as I have don’t them at least 25 times now on two different phones.
Note 2: I have not applied anyother fix to my phone other than the steps listed above. I have not applied the aGPS fix either.
Downloads: www.scottcrosler.com
One last thing to remember, this is the ROM I run on my phone. I am sharing because I like to not because I have to ;c) This is not a full time job for me but I put in more hours on these forums than 40 hours a week! hehehe.... THANKS!!!!!
THis post reserved for future growth!
1. Carriers other than VZW are discouraged from trying the ROM. I cannot honestly tell you what would happen which is the ONLY reason I would discourage it. I am on VZW with a VZW phone. If you wanna send me one of those fancier models I woull gladly test it for you ;c)
2. I will eventually post cabs for Large start Menu and Large title bar. There are 100's of them out there. If someone can grab them I will post them on this post. Any help on this is great. I dont have time to look around for things i dont use and I got another project going on that will keep me busy most of tonight and tommorow. So once again, if you have these cabbed up already grab them and post them PLEASE!
Bugs
1. SYM key does not work right now. More than likely because Diamond Sip is gone. I have not confirmed only taken the report.
2. Pictures on Pic tab (disabled by default) dont flick up or down. I have not confirmed only taken the report.
3. TF3D is reported to not take special customizations. This has been reported but not exp by myself. I will look into it.
Thanks a lot. Can't wait to try it out. Downloading now!
Works great and the graphics improvements are really cool. When I boot I have 62.59 MB free! As always, thanks for all of your hard work on this.
Mike
I've gotta tell you story about this gps guy who was hacking away at pri's and chit. Well he decides to load up this new SUPER SWEET rom you posted and he sure did think it was nice. As he plays around installing and testing things, he decides to fire up the gps (you know that thing he's been all over for weeks). For some reason it wouldn't connect. So he goes searching and searching to see whats going on. After about 5 minutes or so he has a light bulb kick on in his weary weary head. he forgot to turn the location on..... hahahahahaha what an idiot.....
Nice ROM Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this new ROM.
I flashed to it and have noticed that are better than expected! WOOHOO!
I did that the Diamond Keyboard is not on of the SIPs loaded. Is this something that you did on purpose?
I have 63.10 MB free on first boot but I after running Opera and checking around, the memory dropped to 59.18 MB. Pretty awesome!
I love the skin for PSShutXP. Completely matches the TF3D theme.
I have tried to get the GPS running but not having much luck. I will keep trying but I was getting mixed results with the last ROM. I live in Brooklyn NY so I would expect that aGPS will be the best option for me as there are too many things going on here for un-assisted GPS to get a solid lock. Oh well.
Thanks for working so hard on all this for us!
Thanks for the update, I'm downloading now....very excited!!

****, forgot to put that I stripped out SIP. I will update first post. Thanks for the reminder.
Sip is like 6 megs of Ram and really doesnt do a damn thing that the normal MS SIP does other than take up more screen space. To me a keyboard is a keyboard..... Doesnt have to be pretty just A-Z and some numbers and symbols ;c)
EDIT: about your being in NYC... I have heard time and time again people in NYC cant get locks, any big city with tall buildings and lots and obstructions actually. Try to get into an area where you dont have much around. Once you get that first lock... Its all cake from there....

I modded it to take out a logo and the word Diamond Shutdown. Its the OEM from PPC geeks with my Special Touch ;c)
I just noticed one thing. Not sure if it was intended or not. When I go in to the touchflo picture viewer and go full screen, I can no longer "flick" the pictures. It wont let me do anything with the pictures. Like I said, I dont know if that was intended or not, but I thought that I would let you know if not.
Mike
I noticed that Clear Type can no longer be selected/deselected. No big deal for me just wanted to let you know. Also noticed that my SYM key on the physical keyboard does not do anything.
I also noticed the landscape settings as well.
This ROM is AWESOME!
Is there any place I can get the keyboard BTW. I like using it better than the standard SIP.
Thanks

I'm actually looking into which is best right now. I guess a kitchen mod is about the easiest. If I do it in a cab I've got to delete the key then install the key. From what I've tried so far it will make a double entry.
I was outside tonight after posting the last few times and tried the HTC GPS tool to see if anything was getting through.
I was able to get up to 7 used but I couldn't get any fixed.
I ave it set to Q7500, cold start, 4800 and com 4.

Dont screw with the startig method. Just leave it as default. ONLY change the chip type.
Also, if you "use" that many and cant lock sounds like a nice quick soft reset will fix the problem. Most of the time anyway. Could be a funky driver issue.

|RAPH|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 3.0 'Phoenix' (21731) ★ || Build date 2009/6/5 ||
Welcome to my ROM thread!
This ROM is the "3.0" series of my ROM line, and it's designed to have the latest and greatest applications and improvements.
Because of this it may not always be as stable or bugfree, as a stock ROM. However, I can assure you, it's much... MUCH faster than any stock ROM on your device. I build my ROMs for speed, therefore this is a "performance" ROM. Battery life is not important here
The ROM is being continuously developed and bug fixed and there's almost daily releases. I've decided to name each release by the date when it was released. For example, 50109 would have been released on May 1st, 2009. I should also mention it's UC compatible and more info about that can be found here.
This ROM is currently based on the 21728 Windows Mobile 6.5 OS core, along with all the new goodies from the newly announced Topaz and Tachi devices.
It's got the new new Manila interface, new HTC enhanced finger menus, new notifications system, album, FM radio and MP3 trimmer, connection setup etc.
Starting with the 51809 release, the ROM was recreated from scratch. The result is much, much lower RAM usage and general snappiness and speed were vastly improved. Therefore I decided to rename the ROM "Phoenix" as it was 'reborn' just like the mythical bird
If you own a Touch PRO, use the "Keyboard Selector" application under Utillities (after you flash the ROM) to select the proper keyboard layout to use. The ROM comes with the Fuze layout by default.
What you will find in the downloads directories:
"Standard" includes the new TF3D2 (Rhodium Manila) along with the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 today plugin(Tianium)
"Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version.
"OldManila" includes the older TF3D Manila (as see on a stock ROM), plus Titanium.
"Plain" is a build without manila or titanium.

If you want to try a nice theme for this ROM, try MobileMatt's "Fuzeberry" them at this link http://www.fuzeberry.com/ It works well with this ROM and he will update it soon to skin more icons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This build currently uses the RILPHONE.DLL from the latest ATT 5.11 release, along with all the 5.11 version drivers. I recommend using 1.14.25.05 for a radio, for best performance with this ROM.

Video preview of the ROM here > YouTube Video
Pics coming soon.
Known bugs
The lock screen interferes with the HTC Dialer application. It's best not to use it for now. If you have to, you will have to deal with weird behaviour from the dialer!
If you want to use the microsoft dialer instead, open up Advanced Config under Tweaks (in the Start Menu) and disable the phone skin (first item in the Phone section). Reboot...
Goodies
- If you want to go back to the 3 row Start Menu download the attached cab.
- If you want the original slider as seen here >
- If anybody wants a high resolution wallpaper for Manila for THIS ROM, download the cab below. THis will set your "default wallpaper" as the current background in Manila but.. you'll see it on ALL tabs
Make sure to disable the wallpaper in settings after you install the cab, and let it set the "default wallpaper" to get the full effect.
- If you want to use the great white folders that geok made for this ROM... Download and install the attached cab
JUST A REMINDER: this is a GSM only ROM. ROM for CDMA version found HERE. OR YOU CAN TRY YOUR LUCK HERE. READ BOTTOM OF POST (coming from the chef himself)If you just got your FUZE and this is your first time using a custom ROM you may need to START READING HERE FIRST before you proceed.
======================================
For everyone: words of thought from the experts!
"A general rule if you don't see your unique problem mentioned anywhere in this thread, chances are you're the only one with the problem and YOU did something to cause it.
The random hard reset problems have been around for a while. I've never experienced them myself, but I bet it has something to do corrupted blocks in your internal flash chip. I recommend searching the forum for raphdiag.nbh and using it to format your flash storage.. then install the ROM again" NRGZ28
======================================
"Please remember folks that there are a lot of variables here and the ROM is just one of them. You may have any number of the following issues
1) a bad flash
2) an incompatibility issue
3) a settings problem
4) a large RF source in your pants
If several people all determine that they have done XYZ and have problem ABC it may be that NGR can do something about it. Until such time, you have some troubleshooting to do. Namely;
1) Flash the stock ROM and spend a few days noting the behavior as you add your software
2) Flash an NRG ROM and use it a few days without adding software
3) start adding software until the problem occurs." ..BigBadger
MORE BATTERY SAVING TIPS FROM BigBadger
• There is nothing special about this ROM to make it use more power than other ROMs except that it is tweaked for performance over battery life.
• Make sure you follow all of the flashing instructions to the letter. Especially the part about hard reset.
• Backlight is set to high. You might want to change that.
• 3G is on by default. Recommendation is to turn it off when you are not surfing the internet.
• If your radio does not match your rilphone.dll you can get crazy bad battery drainage. Make sure they match. There is a separate thread for that.
• Check to see that some application is not still running in the background. Check, do not assume.
• Check to see if the screen is still on when you expect it to be off. Soft reset can fix that issue.
• Some radios work better with some carriers and locations. Asking everyone to tell you what radio to use may not give you the best answer. Be specific about your situation.
• The battery meter will not settle down and give accurate readings for a few battery cycles.
• For the first few battery charging cycles, try to charge with phone off and then allow battery to get down as low as possible before recharging.
• The GPS sucks the battery dry. If you want to keep track of yourself, consider something like GPSToday that only wakes up the GPS once in a while.

TIPS AND TWEAKS/FAQS FROM PREVIOUS THREAD: HERE
TIPS AND TWEAKS:
1. I too have found myself liking Titanium. I have had good luck with Titanizer by twolf http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501584
2. .......for those who do not like the TD3D2 messaging and want to use the old WM interface Kryzsiec's post might do the trick
3. by:Hemant Nrg, as a habit i install on xboxmod update 1d for tf3d2 for your every rom and i am not seeing any all people crash. Even the facebook tab is working at my end. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=186871&d=1242790496
4. There is a very simple registry change you can do to increase the MMS size. However you will have to search for it as I have no idea which thread it was mentioned in. Maybe somebody else in here does ... HERE OR TRY THIS as posted by deeznuts
5. More folder icons! by geok
6. MORE MMS Limit tweak by: Pumpiron579
HLKM/Software/ArcSoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/ mmscsetting/Sample MMS
Change all the values to 1024000 or 1228800 that way you can send 1mb or 1.2mb files over MMS.
Then Change;
HLKM/Software/ArcSoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/ UI/size Limit
Then set the SendDefault and/or RecvDefault to a value of your choosing. I set all mine to 1228800.
7. Anyone a idea how i get my hotmail account on this rom?
by: anothersmith How about this HOW TO CONFIGURE HOTMAIL ACCOUNT ON YOUR DEVICE and GMAIL ACCOUNT BY: bapski
by: warri Youtube Bug work Around: Okay I Found a Small Work Around. It appears ONLY the HTC Youtube application is bugged. you can install the "Official" Youtube application found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495327 and it works. (it auto updates when you run it as well) (going to make sure the auto-updated one runs as well)
Youtube bug solved/background change When Changing Wallpaper, Take the jpg that you want your manila background to be, and rename it homebackground.img then drop it into your windows folder overwrite the existing one. Reset Tf3d. DONE. Youtube Still Works. DO NOT use the wallpaper button on the settings tab, or you will not beable to use the HTC Youtube App.
RED Screen When picking Photos If you are having an issue with Red Screen During Choosing Contacts, or Wallpaper pictures please download THIS FILE . Disable TF3D move the htcphotopicker.exe to your windows directory, restard TF3D. Done.
9. by: gjakovic Hi EnergyROM lovers, You know the problem on people tab where for contacts with multiple numbers manila will call only the default one!? Well now it is fixed I ported the code from Topaz and recompiled the embedded LUAs in manila files that caused the problem. Enjoy! Although this is a Manila problem I have decided to post my fix here to contribute to great ROM and bring it closer to perfection.
P.S. Since this is a new port please report back if you find any issues.
Instruction for noobs: Stop the manila: Start->settings->today->tab Items-> uncheck TouchFLO 3D, use Total commander to replace the files in Windows directory with the ones in attachment. If having trouble, edit the propreties of the original file and uncheck the option read only. Enable manila again.
People tab fix by gjakovic.zip
FAQ'S:
1. by:NRGZ28 Seems that Captain Throwback found the problem with the All_People crash! I omitted the httpclient.dll file from my rom and that's what's causing the All People page to crash. Here's a cab for the fix, until I can release a fixed ROM
2. Again hope I dont get flamed but I cannot seem to get picture rotation and thought it was working in 51809
goofeyass: hergs HTC Album 2.5 cab works great, pictures rotate and seem clearer. You can install this cab over this awesome Rom.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ynjlvtjawvc
3. It's a great ROM, but can anyone tell me how to active the Titanium view?
at10ti0n: start -> settings -> today -> Items tab -> check "windows default", uncheck TouchFLo 3d
4. I downsized my start menu, and now it looks great and is even more user friendly. Now if I can just get File Explorer on the start menu with a better looking icon...
at10ti0n: Another thing you may want to look for it the "re/Start" program. it is floating int the forum somewhere. I cleaned up my menu and it helps to re-prioritize the items in the main window. I only wish I could change the sub/sub folders. HERE
5. I'm absolutely hating new TF3D scrolling currently. The icons when u scroll, are just too low, its too near your thumb. Is there a way, perhaps a manilla file replacement, that can put it back up a lil higher, as it was in the OLD TF3D? Shep was able to do it, but shep doesnt really reply questions : / also if it helps, showaco's all tabs pictures cab, does solve it, making it higher. however, scrolling TF3D with showaco installed in landscaped is screwed, being off centre to the right any solutions?
gjakovic: TRY THIS
6. can you possible make another manila file that is the lower position but clear in all tabs . as in transluscent no matter what tab your on , for the past few builds it seems that its only clear on the home tab for me. THANKS !
gjakovic: TRY THIS
7. Can I return the start menu icons to three in a row?How?And could you return the phone.exe icon in start menu?
NRGZ28: HERE
8. I´m not sure, but I hear the ringtones and the alarm more quiet than older realeases (of course with volume at maximum), anyone notice this too?
bauerpavel: ...full is like superloud a.Audio_Full_Boost.cab b.Audio_Lighter_Boost.cab
9. Is there a cab floating around for a "Fave People" entry on the 6.5 Start screen?
BigBadger: Look here: 6.5 PLUGINS!
10. Its official BB connect doesnt work on WM6.5. Have tried now on several ROMS including this one. Its no go, both 21232/21234 Builds. If anyone has a workaround this please let me know. Or if anyone has got BBConnect to work on WM 6.5 please post
HappyHammer: A quick search would reveal there is an easy solution to this. Either edit the registry as described in this thread or search for Taiseer's cab. I have BBConnect .106 working fine on EnergyROM 52209
11. Is there an issue with SocialNetworking (upload to facebook) from Album? It isn't built into this ROM and I was curious...
kwill: heres a cab to put the album with facebook upload back in and the account manager in settings. i use it and it works fine. i really havent noticed what the album 3.0 does for rhodium manila. i actually dont use tf3d2 enough to notice. HTC Album + SocialNetworksEngine.cab
12. MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY THE CHEF HIMSELF!
13. Can't Sent Text Messages! When composing a new text message the address to: turns to a number 1 after I hit send, and will not send to the person. So instead of either a phone number or John Doe I just have a number 1.
Should be: Looks like:
John Doe 8:30AM 2kb 1 8:30AM 2kb
Hey whats up yo? Hey whats up yo?
Strangely, if John Doe texts me first, I can reply to those messages just fine. Its ONLY new messages that wont work. Also, im not getting a text message can't be sent message, it seems like instead of sending it to 3305551234 its sending it to 1.
Tomik1: Try this registry setting: HKLM\System\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete\MaxSuggest ions=0
14. I didnt see any answer to this and was wondering if anyone has any solutions. If i am on a call, and someone calls me, i get no notification until it is missed. When missed, It beeps telling me that i missed a call. I noticed this on the last 3 builds (52009. 53109, and 60109). Any clues?
outphase: Fixed! Change registry key /HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/CallWaiting/Sound to CallWait.wav

you are much more lucky than i am, i cannot download any data via this link
What exactly is the PagePool_Changer.exe used for in the roms folder?
Also in your manilla theme the stocks icon pops up on the slider when it passes over the stocks item, this has been a issue in all the 2.x-3.x roms that have used your custom theme.
The only reason why I am point this out is because it doesnt fit in with the rest of your theme and someone else might perceve it as a "glitch".
Other than that I have not stumbled upon any other problems, its great rom like alwase
damn, just finished installing 51909... whats the fixes for this version? the all people button working?
Can you please post changelog (when you get time)? Thanks
is there a change log? do I need to re flash from the previous version?
MSN i the new one ?
just letting you know that you have linked the wrong directory. you need to add the raphael folder.

Old Manila
Dear NRG
Is the Old Manila extracted from the latest 5.0 WWE ROMS or is it older??.
perfect work
Some people are never satisfied!!!
He does not post the ROM they complain.
They complain and BEG complain and BEG for the ROM, so he post the ROM early they complain of small bug on a Overall smoking build
He fix the bug, Post a new thread to keep the crap out of it, still they complain and re-adds the crap; then complain of needing change log ( HE SAID HE WOULD POST A NEW THREAD TO RELEASE THE ROM WITH THE FIX INCLUDED IN THE LAST THREAD) what more change log is needed?
NRGZ; Thanks for the continued efforts BRO!
Thanks! Just made my jump to 6.5 and this is fast!
One thing I've noticed is that Internet Explorer doesn't work? Can't connect to any sites. Opera works fine.
Thanks.

v1.5.0.3 RELEASED ! - [email protected]:15 - DISCONTINUED
RockClock is a simple FREE Alarm Clock for Windows Phone/Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Professional devices with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 (and above).
Being my first ever .NET application, RockClock started life as a simple wakeup timer…which would simply turn on my Blackstone and run another program for me at 30 minute intervals. Then a friend found a freeware font whilst browsing the web and suggested I adapted my program to be a simple alarm clock and 'RockClock' was born.
Main Features:
- 4 Alarms, which will wake the device from a standby state
- Alarm Sound selection
- Adjustable Snooze timer
- Toggle UI elements
- Countdown Timer
- Stopwatch with laptimer
- Vibration option
- Clock colour selection
- Finger friendly UI
Please leave comments or bug reports as some feedback on my first ever program would be great.
POSTS SINCE UPDATE START HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5875656#post5875656
Things left to do:
- Sort the alarms on the Clock screen into time order
- Flight-Mode On/Off Option (...having issues with this!)
- Quicker settings interface
- Integration with the System alarm clock so Manila and other applications recognise when the next alarm is due (…maybe)
Tested on WVGA (Blackstone) and VGA and QVGA device emulators.
If you like RockClock please feel free to donate… and inspire me to create more apps...or simply upgrade my handset!
In the event XDA Dev's becomes unavailable a mirror of this program is available on my site, which can be accessed by scanning my avatar or clicking HERE.
.
The ZIP File contains both a Windows Mobile Installer file or you can optionally install the CABS from the CABS folder in the ZIP.
Thank you very much. I will give it a try
Installed but could not run. Didn't even get an icon in Start Menu.
Tried running the EXE directly from the installed folder and I got these errors.
Tried it on:
1. Dopod D810, wm6.0 stock WWE ROM
2. HTC Touch Pro2, wm6.1 stock WWE ROM
both with .Net Compact Framework 2 & 3.5 installed
Hmmm...thanks for trying it out...it seems that the program I have to package this up is a bit naff so here's the CAB for the .NET SQL component.
Hopefully that'll get it working until I sort out the packager.
Got it working on my TP2 after installing the second cab. But I don't see how this is much different than the manilla alarm clock.

But what if you don't use Manila? And what if a person wants to develop something that started as a fun project?
Will give this app a go on my TouchPro2 running WM6.1 without Manila!

For me it's nicer to look at at night when I'm charging my phone and don't have a clock in the room than looking at the manila screen which is REALLY bright when on charge.
Any chances to get this for QVGA?

Sorry didn't have the device emulator installed....I just installed it and tested it and it seems to be working okay with both CAB's installed.
I've also amended the first post to say it works.

Yes good point. Would like to see touch scrolling on the setting page and maybe a snooze button when the alarm goes off.
I agree that this will look better at night with the darker color scheme.
After installing the RockClock cab i get a message
Code:
proc ok
invalid handle
The shortcut to launch the app has no icon, and launching the clock gives
Code:
The file rockclock cannot be opened. Either it is not signed etc etc
I installed the clock on the storage card and first the second cab too, then i tried to install the second cab in device memory, but it is the same.
Edit: After installing both cabs into device memory the same error "invalid handle" comes up, the shortcut has still no icon, but the clock launches now.
While setting the clock up i saw there is no option to select the alarm sound to be used. Did i oversee it or is it not there? I set one alarm and pushed the power button to put the phone in sleep, without exiting the appl. At the time set the device did wake up and a bip bip sounded (i would prefere to be able to choose some other alarm or an mp3). To be able to access the settings again i need to exit the appl. and start it again, but this gives me the error:
Alarm schedule failed!
Please exit the application
and try again.
Acknowledging this error message starts the appl, and i can access the settings again.
Now if i set up an alarm and then exit the appl., it starts up at the set time, but then the above mentioned error pops up, and by the time i tap ok the application opens but no alarm sounds.
This are my findings up to now.

At the time set the device did wake up and a bip bip sounded (i would prefere to be able to choose some other alarm or an mp3). To be able to access the settings again i need to exit the appl. and start it again, but this gives me the error:
Alarm schedule failed!
Please exit the application
and try again.
Acknowledging this error message starts the appl, and i can access the settings again.
Now if i set up an alarm and then exit the appl., it starts up at the set time, but then the above mentioned error pops up, and by the time i tap ok the application opens but no alarm sounds.
This are my findings up to now.

The sound settings have not yet been put in place as detailed in the first post. Not sure why the schedule is a problem, will look into that because it uses the standard CeRunappattime API call but I might know what the problem is.
I believe the rest of the issues are caused by the program that does the packaging for the cab installer..I'll have to find a new one.
I tested the program today on an P3300 and the shortcut icon did not appear but everything installed okay, the icon and program install fine on my blackstone though so I will try to find a new packaging app.
I'll put some changes in place and upload a new version when I can but as said earlier, I'm completly new to all this so it may take a while to perfect the code.

Ok...thanks for your replay, will test the new release as soon as available.
I think I've fixed it! I've also tweaked a few bits and added the ability to choose your alarm sound for now.
I'll make the alarms have independent sounds in future builds.
Testing it atm but will post it soon if it works as expected.

I've still not fixed it yet...am re-writing the alarms procedure atm but am new to this so please be patient.
I'lll update the first post when it's done.
I'm interested in your application. But I got the same message on my HTC Touch HD. I don't find the app. in the suppression programs list : how can we uninstall it (until problems will be fixed)? Thank you.

Wallpaper Changer - WaPaC 1.4
Created by Rapid
Now OpenSource (see the bottom of this post)
Because I don't have time to develop this application further and the current state of the program is fine for my use, I share the WaPaC's source by the community now.
A few terms, what you need to consider, before you use the source and consider to develop it in the future:
The WaPaC name needs to stay as it is, or if not and you use the source code, you need to mention it!
You need to mention my name, as the original developer of this program and where are the sources came from
You need to mention mohitsapru's name, as the developer of the scheduler component
I need a PM (or email) about the releases where you used the source or the release of a new WaPaC version
The future versions needs to be Windows Mobile version and Resolution free a.k.a. needs to work on every WinMo versions (5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.X) and all resolutions!
I created a wallpaper changer application (WaPaC), to the scheduled wallpaper changing on WM's Today and on Sense. Tested on Samsung Omnia 2 with Sense 2.5 and everything is working fine.
The program is not a beta anymore, but still under development and may contains some bugs.
Changes in 1.4
No maximum files number anymore (maximum folders number is still 100)
A "Change NOW interface" added to select the needed UI to the change
Now the settings app shows the next time of the schedule
Random and continuously change setting added (you'll see randomizing popup window sometimes)
Intervals minimum set low to 1 minute with 1 minute steps
Besides the interval, now you can change the wallpapers at a specific time, like 8:00AM every day
The "back to the previous wallpaper" function is added and accessible with the "-prev" parameter and will change all choosen UI's wallpapers back to the previous one (not 100% if you use more than 1 directory for wallpapers storing).
The installer creates a "Change Now" and "Previous wallpaper" shortcut
Because I cannot create a setup.dll, the additional shortcuts is downloadable from the bottom of this post, but you need to edit the files, if you're not install the app to the device.
Several minor and major bugfixes
Changes in 1.3
The program is now compatible with CHT 1.8.X. You can change the wallpaper of the Home tab, All tab and CHT Lockscreen.
When you plug your phone to USB with Mass Storage settings, and the needed folder is not available to the WaPaC (or you deleted a selected folder), the app not crash.
Context menu added to the Selected Folders list to remove folders (if the folder is not available anymore, etc.)
The application is pops up a warning in the case you not select any UI, when you want to save the settings (not when you uncheck all).
Changes in 1.21
The folder changing bug fixed (when you tap on a folder and jumped to an other in the selected one)
Changes in 1.2
Redesigned interface
Separated setting for "Change on Windows start" (If you have an earlier version installed, then you need to uncheck and save, then recheck and save the "Start with Windows" option, because the shortcut contents is changed)
You can choose Minutes or Hours format at Interval settings
Interval changed to 5-1440 minutes or 1 to 24 hours
"Change NOW" button added
"Change only in idle state" option added (This means, if you're using the phone (the backlight is on) in the time when the scheduled change comes, the changing is delayed)
Maximum selectable folder number is 100
Changes in 1.1ß
- Folderselection is now free
- Maximum picture number changed to 10000/folder
- No need to refresh the list when you put new pictures in a selected folder
- Selected folders list stored and displayed after start and easy to modify.
- You can add a folder to the selected folders list by checking the checkbox near the folder's name. You can remove by the same method.
The program's not listing the directories with the following names:
- Windows
- Program Files
- Application data
- ConnMgr
- Documents and Settings
- Temp
Changes in 1.03ß (1.02 skipped, because some real trouble):
- S2U2 background change added (not tested)
- Settings saving corrected (HKCU\Software\WaPaC\)
- Interval steps changed to 5 mins
- Settings application supports all resolutions (tested on VGA, QVGA, WQVGA, WVGA, Square)
Changes in 1.01ß
- Start with Windows option problem fixed
- Clear Sense Background option added
Features:
- maximum 10000 pictures from multiple folders
- changeable interval from 10 to 720 minutes (12 hours)
- chooseable user interface to change background (Today and Sense)
- same wallpaper for the 2 UI or not
- start with Windows possibility
- not use memory at all, the changing starts with schedule and then quit
- separate settings application (only WVGA resolution supported yet)
- you can start/stop the scheduling in the settings app
Special thanx:
mohitsapru for his help
It is possible the program is working on other Sense, Manila or TouchFlo versions than Sense 2.5, if the wallpaper stored in the same place.
If you want to test it, download the cab and please give me some feedback and ideas, if you have any, to improve the app.

Thanks, gonna try on VGA - WM 6.5.5 - Sense 2.5.2012 and report back!
ps. why don't you attach the program here, too?
Hi Rapid81
This looks a great little app.
I have just tested it and unfortunately I get an "IndexOutOfRangeException" error when I hit the Load folder's list button. It starts to look at my whole sd card and then bombs out with that error.
Maybe adding the option to choose the folder without indexing the whole card is the way to go.
I am running this on a Touch HD with Energy 16 May 23569 CHT ROM.
Hope this helps.
Look forward to testing the next release.

I need to look through the whole system, because no SelectFolderDialog in NETCF. Maybe more than 100 folders contains pictures. I rised this number to 1000 in 1.03.

Wow! Couldn't even install it yet and you release an update!
Going with 1.03 then.
I've been waiting and hoping for a new wallpaper changer since antworks doesn't seem to change the today screen without locking up after a while. Glad to see yours has S2U2 changing and Sense as well.
I'm also getting the same error when it tries to load all the folders, and would agree that rather than try to index all the wallpaper, just allow the user to choose the folder. I have a 16Gig sd card, so it takes a lonnnng time to try to index that if I ever want to make a change.
Keep up the good work!
The biggest suggestion I have is a problem I have with other wallpaper changers. If the phone has been in standby when the wallpaper changed, when you power it on it takes 5-10 seconds to come on because it is loading the wallpaper. If there was some way to refresh the wallpaper beforehand so it would just power on instantly, that would be awesome.
S2U2's own wallpaper changing appears to not change while the phone is in standby. That's pretty cool too because it saves battery, plus fewer things running that might cause an error, say in the middle of the night, which = no alarm in the morning.
I tried to write my own wallpaper changing script with mortscript, but was never able to get it to be stable, so I appreciate what you're doing very much.

My problem is, there is no SelectFolderDialog in NETCF. That's why the application runs through the storage. If I'm creating a SelectFolderDialog instead of this method, you'll select only one folder and no subfolders o more separated folder. I'll try to came up with a workable idea, but I'm not making any promises.
This app change the wallpaper when the phone is in sleep mode. The phone does not came alive, just change the wallpaper in the backgound. You can't see anything about it, just the new wallpapers when you unclock your phone.
I guess I solved this "I want to select the directories on my own" and "why the apps runs through the whole system" problems.
Now you have a "file explorer"-like thing and a second list where is the app stores the selected directories. The directories stays checked and reloaded on settings app restarts.
Still testing, but if I'll not found problems, I'll upload it soon.
The solution is not 100% finger-friendly...
Something like this:

Been testing it this afternoon. The folder selection is very helpful, I can get it to run now.
It appears to change the wallpaper in all 3 places (S2U2, today, sense) just fine. I've noticed though that the spinning "busy" icon starts up and keeps going and going until I do something like click a tab. Then it pauses for a bit and makes the switch. When the phone has been in standby and I power it on, S2U2 will have the "busy" icon on its screen and will wait until I unlock into Sense to make the change.
I did have a couple instances of it freezing up, I thought this might be due to trying to change the Today background, since Antworks autowallpaperchanger would do something similar. It wouldn't freeze all the time, just some of the time, and I would have to not change the today wallpaper to fix that.
so far this is exactly what i was looking for. thank you very much for this!
Not even sure what started this problem, I did so many different things to get wallpapers I confused myself, now I dont know wich is causing problem. Can you help?
was getting errors when restarted phone about WaPac so I removed the app and soft reset etc. Now I get following message....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The file "WaPac cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or onew of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

So I reinstalled, same problem, removed same message...
Any ideas, I guess Im not completely removing all I need to???

If you checked the "Start with Windows", then you have a WaPaC.lnk in the \Windows\StartUp. That's all. And I recommend you to stop the scheduling before you remove the app.
Been testing without S2U2 just to have fewer things running.
When the phone is awake, if the scheduled change begins to run it won't finish until you force a screen refresh by hitting the windows button or something like that. It just sits and thinks forever with the spinning icon on the screen.
Are there any executable modifiers such as "-now" to open the program and force a screen change immediately? It would be great to be able to make a shortcut to switch the screen on command.

thank you-easily fixed
wow. welcome to computers 101. sorry for all the hub-bub. I will take it slower so I can better tell my 'issues'.
Will also keep checking back on this app-sounds great, Im just not the right person to be dealing with beta and giving anyone feedback yet.
Thanks for the link info.
Okay, so it doesn't seem to like switching the today wallpaper, which antworks didn't either. It tends to lock up from time to time if I ask it to change the today screen. Any idea why this is? Like I said, antworks changer behaves the same way. I can't figure it out.
I'm running WM 6.5 stock Sprint rom with Goodthings2life's tweaks. Sense 2.5. Touch Pro 2.

What UI do you use? When I alphatested the app, and I not used any UI, the background not refreshed, just after a program open and close. I cannot figured out a way to refresh the empty today right now, but I'm looking for it. But when I used Sense or Windows Default, the Today, Start Menu and Lockscreen changed properly.

Just using Sense UI 2.5. It is weird because it doesn't lock up the phone every single time, just some of the time. I don't have the weather animations going, don't have animated wallpaper. No start menu/lock screen modifications, all stock.
I'm not using S2U2 right now as I test this, but it would change just fine, Sense would change just fine, it is only the today/lockscreen that causes a problem. It seems to be something about the refresh, because the phone would lock up before the screen changed, but after rebooting the wallpaper would have changed. So, I know it isn't the copying of the files, that is being completed.
EDIT> Think I just figured out the problem, after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600892&page=4
It most likely is a file extension issue, which is why it works sometimes and doesn't work other times. It works until the random function hits a file that is the wrong extension and locks up. Although, that doesn't explain why the images are there once I reboot. Anyway, I'll test by splitting the file types.
EDIT 2> Well, hosed there. All my files are jpegs.
