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

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.

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 :-(

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.

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

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.
*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.

I found this quite entertaining and he had me until the stylus part.
I've put this in the Development section because whilst it is almost fully functional, it still needs a lot of development. Please be aware of this when you download it. I am not to be held responsible for anything that may happen as a result of running this app.
Requirements:
Root Access & a Custom ROM (StreakDroid 1.8.0 recommended (CONFIRMED WORKING ON 1.8.0))
Built under a 2.2 framework. If you are running anything pre-2.2 please be aware it may not work.
Please remember to remove all previous versions of the app before installing.
Simply open the app and press the "Menu" button. I hope you can figure the rest out! Enjoy!
"LED Notification FREE" has been uploaded in the Market. It has full functionality and it Ad Supported.
Please be aware that this version includes an "AdBlocker Check". This will block the app from opening if you have an adblocker installed on your phone. Sorry about this but i hate adblockers Alternatively, you can just remove all instances of Admob from your Hosts file.
Code:
[I][B][COLOR="blue"]QUICK HANDCENT FIX[/COLOR][/B]:
Open Handcent, press 'Menu > Settings > Notification settings > Popup settings'.
[B]MAKE SURE[/B] 'Screen on for popup' is [B]UNCHECKED[/B].
Handcent wont interfere with my app from then on :D[/I]
NEW TO 2.0.1
Asks for SU Access when the app first loads Fixes some weird error that happens every now and again.
Completely re-coded the SMS receiver. Much smoother now!
SMS and Gmail Notifications can be turned on or off
New settings page - done properly now, wont save anything to sdcard [you can delete your STREAKLED folder now!] Press the 'menu' button when you open the app for settings.
Permissions tweaked (should be less LED problems)
KNOWN BUGS
Changing orientation during the pattern causes problems. Just don't do it!
Notifications overwrite each other. So if an SMS message arrives and then a Gmail, only the Menu button will be lit, and vice versa.
Services cannot be stopped (only by uninstalling) FIXED - 2.0
Sometimes all the buttons will end up being lit, not sure why. [SHOULD BE FIXED]
TODO
Add options for turning the SMS and Gmail notifications on and off DONE - 2.0
Have different patterns for each DONE - 1.3
Improve the UI (sort of) DONE - 2.0
Improve the pattern flashing sequence (sort of) DONE - 2.0
Clean up the code (WIP )DONE - 2.0
Fix orientation issue
This will ALWAYS be available for free on here, on Modaco and on my website (see sig) but i have uploaded a 'donate' version on the Android Market Place priced at £1.50, just incase you fancy buying me a beer
Enjoy

I've put this in the Development section because it is not fully functional and still needs a lot of development. This is basically a proof of concept app.
Requirements: Root Access (tested on 2.1 but build under a 1.6 framework so it should work on 1.6)
All you have to do is run the application, hit the home button and receive a text (or send yourself one). If your phone is locked it will wake up and dim the screen and flash the home/menu/back LEDs in a nice pattern and then keep the screen dimmed until you unlock the phone manually.
The only problem is that you will receive a Force Close error message and you will then have the re-open the app for it to work again. I am trying to fix this but will not be able to look into it for a few days so i thought i would release what i've done so far.
I will be adding settings and more patterns as soon as i can fix this FC error.

Well... GREAT!!! Thanks! It works... Was searching this kind of app for weeks. Thanks again!
Great little app. Can't wait for thenext update
Nice work.
Just out of interest though, what's the dangers of having the screen on dim all night if I get a text message at stupid o'clock?
Wouldn't want to burn anything on my screen if that is possible.

Screen burn is an issue on LCD screens, hence why i set it to do a dim wake lock instead of a full brightness one. Saying that, i have absolutely no idea whether screen burn would still occur but ill test it tonight and report back
On a positive note i have fixed the FC error and will release the fully working version tomorrow!!
Nice work dude ! Look forward to a full release tomorrow.

No, i'm afraid not.
Without Root Access it will probably just force close.
Currently in the process of adding more LED patterns
It also now wakes the phone, unlocks the phone and displays an "SMS Message Received" popup which it then hangs at until you close it.
Do you guys think this is better or should I make it lock the screen instead?
What else should i add/change?

I'd prefer it stayed locked, also if I read this thread correctly, it leaves the screen on (but dimmed?) is that true? I would need it to kill the screen, because as noted, it could kill your battery if you went a long time w/o clearing the alert.
Nice work so far though...

Yeah, that's the only problem.
unfortunately, killing the screen freezes the LEDs in whatever state they're in, completely defying the point of the app
What i could do though, is wake up the screen, flash the LEDs but leave one on and turn the screen back off. This would turn everything off apart from that 1 LED and you could use different LEDs for different notifications. I'll try that out later.
Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Maybe the Back LED for missed SMS, the Menu LED for missed call. Something like that.
That would be cool, I'll await your work and give it a try.
Well, it turns out that works miles better than what i was trying before.
Basically, it now turns the screen on, keeps it locked, flashes the LEDs, turns the screen back off and leaves the home LED on.
Give me about 10 mins and i'll put up a working version. No FC error this time
Can't wait for this!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
First post updated with a working version
None of the options work on the main screen yet, but they will.
Enjoy
I haven't tried this yet, but I just want to say THANKS! No notification light was driving me crazy! I'm gonna install it now. I like that it would kill the screen but leave the LED light on. That's perfect!
**EDIT**
Well, it didn't work perfectly. Here's what happened on my Beta Streak....
With locking disabled (I use the 'NO LOCK' widget), it turned the screen on and said 'SMS received' and the home LED was on, for about 1-2 minutes, then both went off. When I turned back on the screen and read the msg, the LED went out.
With locking enabled, like most people would be using the app, the screen turned on for a few seconds while the LED pulsed, then both went out. No notification. When I unlock and read the msg, the home LED stays on. I have to 'clear' the app in the notification tray and lock then unlock the screen to make the home LED go out.
Seems like they're little tweaks that could be needed. If you can make this work and be functional, I'll donate to your Paypal! Again, thanks for your work on this project!!
Yeah, it's still pretty much in it's 'Alpha' stage
Cheers, for the feedback, i'll look into the errors.
I know that if the screen is unlocked the Home LED will stay on until you lock/unlock the screen, but that should be an easy fix (hopefully), and i've not set up the Thread's quite right i don't think which could be causing the timing errors.
I'll be spending all of tomorrow getting this thing working so i'll report back
Awesome! You are the man!
A thought for down the road development:
Earlier today when I was thinking about this, I imagined an interface where the user could "record" their own flash sequence for each type of notification they had - email, sms, mms, missed call, etc. Just choose which notification they want to specify, click record, then tap the capacitive buttons in the sequence you want them to light up, then end the recording. Interval timing could be recorded or specified manually. Just a few ideas!
Thanks so much for this. I'll give it a run soon.
Awesome work. Wanted something like this. I hope you will be able to add notifications for misssed calls and gmail as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Kubuntu for the HTC HD2 version 0.1.0
This release is intended to be run via Haret from within windows mobile.
A MAGLDR version will be released as soon and problems have been ironed out.
Consider this a Technology preview and as such is not intended for daily use.
08/01/11 2:30pm GMT: Sorry for the delay in release I've had a few breakthroughs and decided to implement the changes now rather than do several releases in one week. PM me if you can host the files for me.
What is Kubuntu?
Put simply its the debian based Desktop class OS Ubuntu built with the KDE UI instead of GNOME
Whats special about this release?
Built from scratch - Using Rootstock to create a clean fresh ARM Kubuntu 10.10 rootfs.ext2 image with which to start from.
Finger friendly - Uses Kubuntu's Plasma Netbook UI tweaked in detail by me to allow for optimized touch experience without compromising on screen space.
Some examples:
Hide titlebar and menu bar on maximized windows - Menu, close and unmaximize all tucked into the top panel.
Unmaximized windows have big buttons on the titlebar.
Large fonts in menus
Easily switch between open apps - Uses Desktop Effects to zoom out and present all open windows in a sexy grid, all from a quick tap of the top panel
Better experience - Some niggles from the original Ubuntu 0.2/0.3 release have been addressed:
Better Keyboard - kvkbd - comes with Kubuntu already
Better click and hold options - Thanks to Clickity you can customize your click and hold experience
Overhaul of connectivity options - Completely rewritten connectivity scripts to include intelligent notification tray icon and messages to inform you of 3G/Wifi/USB modes and Internet connectivity. Store settings and choose what option you require on startup. All accessed from a little connectivity icon at the bottom of home screen
==Note: Not quite finished this yet, waiting till i have finished it and packaged it into an installer so HD2 Ubuntu 0.3 users can have it too before i release my kubuntu build. Fingers crossed its only an hours work away.
What Works
3G - Added system tray notification support, Showing if 3G is on and also if it is connected to internet or not.
Wifi - Uses WICD. Default network-manager almost worked, it showed available wifi points but could never complete a connection, reverted to WICD
USB Host - connect lots of different usb devices. See this for instructions
USB Network (Not been able to use internet sharing as yet but can ssh)
SMS and Phone using latest ofono 0,25-1 and Sphone 0.0.5 - no sound tho
Battery notification! - Works perfectly giving status in taskbar, Icon shows charge level, plugged and unplugged icons too.
What still does not work - Mostly Kernel related I am not working on these currently I have simply made a new filesystem see htc-linux for info.
Sound
Bluetooth
GPS
Accelerometer
Hardware buttons not functional
No Screen Rotation
Suspend/Sleep - Power management set to turn off screen after 4 mins to conserve battery. Set in Power saver mode when unplugged Performance when plugged.
Q&A Bugs issues and Workarounds
There is no keyboard on login screen and I need to enter a password i I have enabled paswordless login so just click the (>) to login.
Keyboard Closed - Click on Home at the top left and reopen kvkbd.
Press and hold does not right click - Clickity should be on the taskbar, if not open from Utilities on Home screen. You can toggle the press hold action by pressing the mouse taksbar icon repeatedly until the icon shows the required function.
Freezes -
Can happen if your running something intensive. Wait a few minutes without touching anything and often it comes back to life do not repeatedly click anything you will make it worse.
Often its just one app causing the problem. Bring up the keyboard with floating shortcut and the following shortcuts may help (Click it once and wait a mo if your system is freezing):
Ctrl + Alt + Esc - Turns the pointer into a skull and crossbones app killer, next click on the unresponsive app to kill it.
Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Esc - Normal Close.
Ctrl - Alt - Backspace - restart the x-server
Other useful keyboard shortcuts
Win + D - Go to Home/Desktop
F11 - Fullscreen App toggle, only for some programs.
Alt + Tab - Switch to previous open window
Install Instructions
Extract the linux folder to the main directory(!) of your Storage Card.
If the linux folder is not located in the main directory of the Card,it will not work.
Note: This will not touch your phone's internal memory. WinMo or other Linux/Android builds remain unchanged.
Startup Advice
1) Save all your current work and start the HaRET executable in the linux folder of your SD card to boot Linux.
2) Wait a few moments untill you see the Kubuntu login screen. Do not press anything and it will auto login after a 10 second delay.
If you accidentally click the screen you will notice the password vanish and there is no keyboard! Never fear passwordless login is enabled so just click the (>) to login.
3) Enjoy
4) Shutdown using the power icon on the top panel.

WHATS NEXT FOR HERESANDYBOY?
Working on XUBUNTU rootfs at the moment - should be speedy
Testing KUBUNTU 11.04 MOBILE currently - its no where near usable frankly may be better to wait for a proper release.
Will be keeping an eye on htc-linux for new kernel updates and Ubuntu for HD2 for improvements and fixes.
Pictures and Videos
New Pics, More to come soon...
KDE on HD2. AWESOME!!!
OOOhhh, Exciting!

My apologies to everyone for the delay in release.. I have a few more bugs to iron out mainly performance issues and i've expanded my own software to handle network mode notifications etc even further so it should be fully comprehensive. Im also looking into modifying sphone to work better on HD2, I've already revised the icon set so the ugly black and white network signal icons are now beautiful. I will release this as soon as I am happy it runs perfectly. A couple more days and you will have all my efforts to play with! Please anyone get in touch if you can host the download for me and I will send you a copy as soon as I am ready.
The wait is almost over!

A nightmare has befallen my HD2, the usb port has come loose and I am unable to charge it to complete this work, I have just ordered a cradle with spare battery charging slot so when it arrives I'll finish the last bit of work I have to do. I managed to sort out most of the performance issues and am really happy with the battery life, general usability and finger friendliness. Theres just a bit of testing to be done on my custom made software and its ready to go! Devastating I cant test usb host mode. Guess I'll have to find a HD2 with the spare parts I need on ebay as repairing the usb is not an option, theres nothing to solder back its torn the connections on the board.

have you looked at following the tracks on the board towards the closest part, and solder a wire between that and the connector?
it's close to what i done on my modified usb hub to bypase the diode which original protects the host usb port and controller chip, so the external powersupply powers everything.

Hi everyone!
Very first post in here, I really want to thank everyone for all the answers I have been finding for years here!
But today, I am not able to find a solution to my problems, with this amazing rom... So here I am.
I have followed the instructions to install this rom, as usual. I even changed my recovery and installed succesfully the latest Philz recovery.
Everything that I read that went wrong for other people went actually good for me. Problem is I identified three things that don't work, I searched this whole forum and the internet with no success:
1) page buddy does not work. I get the small vibration when spen is detached, i get the favorites in the notification bar, and the spen icon on the top left corner, but the actual spen related page (homescreen) does not show up!
2) smart alert does not work, no vibration when phone is "shaked" while an unread message notification is displayed...
3) the keyboard does not automatically switch from typing to writing and vice versa, when spen is detached ornpluged back in.
If the dev or someone using this rom can confirm / help, it would be awesome!!!
Many thanks in advance
