What are the new/improved features in WM2003 SE?
Landscape mode.
All the rest is just for micro$oft to brag about their operating system :wink:
Kidding, it´s the following:
- VGA and QVGA that support high-resolution displays,
and a new landscape view.
The following modes are supported.
# Portrait / Landscape QVGA (240x320, 96 dpi)
# Portrait / Landscape VGA (480x640, 192 dpi)
# Square screen (240x240, 96 dpi)
# Square screen VGA (480x480, 192 dpi)
Not all devices will support switching between modes, i.e. landscape-only, portrait-only or square-only devices are possible.
- Phone Edition improvements.
Previously, you were unable to compose a number directly from the Today screen, now with this update, it will be possible. It will now also be possible to send a Short Message Service (SMS) directly from your contacts list. Lastly, there have also been some improvements on Voice Recognition features.
- Other Enhancements
Transcriber will gain the ability to use shortcuts. These will let users write a short code phrase that will be replaced with a much longer piece of commonly used text. Shortcuts can also be used to launch applications.
Much like Windows XP does, the Start Menu will now show the most frequently launched application icons. There is a new section in the Start Menu which will display the most frequently used applications. This is divided from the list of applications that appear because they are stored in the Start folder.
The second edition will also get WPA (WiFi Protected Access), which was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in an attempt to make wireless networks more secure.
The new version of Pocket Internet Explorer will also be able to force web pages into a single column, similar to the way NetFront 3.1 and Opera does. This will make reading web sites not formatted for handhelds easier.
That is what i got from reviews and news.
Ive seen other changes to, as a nice improved loading Icon that runs much smoother than the original one. (Maybe to create the illusion of something actually loadin :wink: )
This ROM is based on the Stock AT&T Fuze ROM.
Goal: A minimally-loaded, optimized for speed ROM, retaining all support for hardware-based functionality such as the accelerometer and FM Radio while removing all restrictions on security and features, with all removed applications/settings available as add-ons to allow for maximal customization without wasting on-board storage space. Almost 390MB storage and 160MB available!

Whoa, the network fixes are HUGE developments, I can't believe this thread has so few responses. Is your HSUPA fix the only current fix which exists for Fuze or is it present in other roms?
has anybody installed yet
Maybe they are are waiting for 1.1
I'm downloading it now ... Will try and respond with my thoughts.
How the ROM coming? In your 1st post u said some testing was needed. Is everything checking out?
Not sure if this was intentional or not but nothing appears on the AT&T tab. Can be easily removed with TF3D Config.

Great. I'm eager to hear back. I was hoping for a clean ROM with no extras and without TouchFlo 3D but this one looks like a good one also.
I used your original BlackJack Rom and it was excellent. Can't wait to give this one a try. Thanks, Da-G!

It seems to be alright. I've had one program crash on me (ctpnl.exe), not entirely sure why.
There are a few non-default settings established (x button minimizes) but all in all, not bad.
There are a few additions (FM Radio, MusicID, USB Drive option on activesync, etc) but all in all it seems pretty good. A lot less bloat.
I notice romeos roms allow HSUPA but I am specifically looking for the lightest ROM hoping for a snappy experience. The ATT stock ROM is very sluggish. Hows the speed on Da_G Fuze ROM? Thanks for the help
Beta 1.1 Posted, addressed the issues posted so far
Changoland: Unknown if any other ROM's have HSUPA enabled, I didn't think to check! Only saw that it wasn't enabled in AT&T's ROM and took care of it..
Slowly inching toward a completely clean ROM
TouchFlo3d
Is one of the reasons I like the TouchPro. Can you point me to where I can recoup it please.
I thought there was a TouchFlo 3d cab floating around somewhere, if not, when I finish paring the ROM down to a completely clean system, I plan to release cabs for everything removed, such that you can install .cab's and bring the ROM right back to the AT&T stock ROM, if you choose (the goal is flexibility!)

Ok I will wait to try the ROM once it is added. Thanks for your quick response.
This is an awesome ROM so far. Fast. Stable. And the network speeds seem much better.
I love fast unbloated ROMs like this to use as a base to build up the WM phone the way I like it.
Now I just need to settle on a radio. I'm using .32 right now and are thinking of dropping down to .14 to see if it improves reception.
is anyone here used this with the att fuze and the att network?
This ROM was built on the AT&T Fuze, from the official AT&T Fuze ROM, and tested on the AT&T network, you should have no issues as far as that goes
Version 1.2 is coming along.. almost 370MB storage free, 145MB RAM on first boot..
Also incorporated a number of tweaks to speed up the device, it's noticably faster than v1.1.
For HTC-built MSM7K-based devices only! All MSM7K are technically capable, but only HTC's may have the correct drivers. Will probably not work on stock ROMs. I suspect the CDMA versions of the older MSM7K devices - pre-diamond - do not have the necessary drivers either. As far as I know, the first device that came with these drivers is the Kaiser, but IIRC they are also included in various Polaris ROMs.
About
Short and simple, GfxBoost activates "QTV" mode for specific surfaces. This makes for example DirectDraw display smoother and: a bit slower or significantly faster, depending on how you look at it. It also seems to have a small effect on Direct3D/OpenGL. Effects differ between different devices, driver sets, and ROMs - some see a lot of impact, some virtually none (it seems the older ROMs/devices see the biggest impact). If your performance degrades there is something going wrong, it does happen for some people.
Err, what?
Right, this is a bit tricky! If you will benchmark it the result will be lower FPS. However, it will actually appear faster. This is because normally, not all frames are actually drawn on-screen, and the timing of the drawing can be so it appears nothing is being actually drawn at all. This does not happen when using GfxBoost - more is actually drawn to the screen, and smoother. So, from the application's point of view, it can do less per second, but from what you actually see on-screen, more happens! If you don't understand what I mean, just take it from me: it definitely looks better
Some good effects
Manila2D is faster/smoother [Chainfire]
PointUI is smoother [Chainfire]
CorePlayer playback in DirectDraw mode is smoother [Chainfire] *depends on version and settings*
Titanium seems to be faster [Mikulec]
Diamond Hologram seems to be much faster [aussiebum]
Opera 9.5 seems to be much faster [undac]
SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 seems to be smoother [TITAN-23]
iGo 8 feels the love [draxredd]
morphgear feels the love [draxredd]
FinalBurn feels the love [FlorentG]
TouchFlo 3D feels the love [babijoee]
XTRAKT feels the love [babijoee]
Some bad effects
GfxBoost breaks WMP MP4 playback [FIXED]
GfxBoost breaks camera [FIXED]
GfxBoost breaks Fullscreen/Streaming Player [FIXED]
GfxBoost breaks YouTube [FIXED]
CorePlayer playback in QTV mode may break GfxBoost (may be fixed)
Devices reported this works with
HTC Touch Cruise / Polaris
HTC TyTN II / Kaiser
HTC Touch Diamond / Victor
HTC Touch Pro / Raphael / Fuze
HTC Touch HD / Blackstone
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 / Venus
Also works with, but not as much effect as with ^^^:
HTC Touch Diamond 2 / Topaz
HTC Touch Pro 2 / Rhodium
Update: it may still have _some_ effect with the Topaz, but I don't think anyone has seen any improvement with the Rhodium, so don't bother Seems the drivers on those devices are quite a bit faster already than the older MSM7K devices
Quirks
Alright, it took a bit of research, a lot of trial and error, quite a bit of hairpulling, a few hours of IDA, and an entire crate of beer to get this working on the few of my devices I actually bothered to test it on (Kaiser and Touch Pro). I think everything is now properly hooked up with HTC's own software so things like Camera and WMP also still work. If you run into anything, strange, well, first RTFM below, then see if you want to post it here.
TFM (The F*ing Manual, read it!)
Requirements
An HTC-built MSM7K-based device, sporting QTV and some similar nonsense. In general, I would say this this is the entire range between the Vogue and the Touch Pro, though I've only tested it on Kaiser and Touch Pro, and both are GSM.
Installation
- Install the CAB on your device
- Soft-reset (does not seem to be needed on all devices)
- Start GfxBoost and click Enable
Uninstallation
- Start GfxBoost (if not running) and click Disable
- Uninstall CAB as usual
- 1.2: You may have to soft-reset and uninstall it again, for reasons unknown
Upgrading
- Install new CAB
- Soft-reset
"What's this Enabled (Inactive) status?
It means another application is running that needs this chipset feature. For example, Windows Media Player, YouTube, Camera, etc. As soon as you exit all of those, GfxBoost should re-activate itself.
"I see no difference Q_Q"
If there's a visible difference depends completely on the application you are running and what you are doing with it (aside from it possibly just not working for you). The more graphical an application is, the more chance you have this makes a difference. I've seen no differences with normal "GDI" style applications (normal apps), but for example on my Kaiser the difference in Manila 2D is enormous.
"What about this video-running-in-the-background-thing I keep reading about?"
If done properly, that has the same effect as GfxBoost. Just not as easy and it doesn't think about other applications that need this chipset feature.
bla bla Coreplayer bla bla
Exactly!

If everybody who uses this buys me a beer, I will be a very happy and/or drunk Chainfire. Please make this happen. See the link in my signature - it's not there for decoration!
Release
Yarr, it r here!
If you are updating GfxBoost, please first "Disable" and "Exit/OK" GfxBoost! Don't forget to soft-reset after installing the new CAB!
There are multiple downloads here, the GfxBoost.cab is the (now old) 0.7, the other are the new 1.1 and 1.2 service versions. Note that in the service versions, the settings panel is under Settings -> System, not under Programs!
You only need to install ONE of these. Older versions are only still available because they work for some people while the newer does not (and vice versa). Do not forget to soft-reset after installation, waiting a minute or two, then opening the Start -> Settings -> System -> GfxBoost and clicking Enable!
(Downloads < 1.1: 3820, 2043 old 0.7)
great job as always Chainfire!
keep up the good work

Originally I thought this was an issue specific to the Fuze/Touch Pro family but now I'm not so sure since I've seen it on Omnia emulator images as well as on the Treo Pro devices (although to a lesser extent) and the Touch Pro 2
After upgrading to the latest ROM for the AT&T Fuze or the Verizon Touch Pro I'm noticing some issues related to the rendering of all comboboxes/droplists and tabs. The overall height has shrunk slightly from the previous ROM releases.
This defect actually makes it less finger-friendly as there's a smaller touch target with the reduced height.
Has anyone noticed this and is there a registry tweak/fix or anything to address it? My solution in the past was to downgrade to an older WM 6.1 ROM that didn't exhibit the problem but it seems to be some pervasive issue with newer images of WM 6.1.
For reference here's the two ROM versions that I've identified for the Fuze and the Touch Pro that exhibit and don't exhibit the problem:
Fuze Touch Pro Control Height Issue
1.02.25.32 1.03.605.4 No
1.14.25.35 1.08.605.4 Yes
Without a screen cap, I'm not sure what you're talking about. But you can change menu font sizes with HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt. Increase the value for Ht to 1100 or something along those lines. There are other values in the GWE registry you may want to play with.
I have attached a screenshot showing the differences in the two ROMs on one of the standard screens (the GPS setup). It appears that the default item height for tabs and droplists has been changed to be a few pixels shorter
I like the new version better. But seriously, I don't really see this as thread-worthy-there's barely any difference between the two. It's definitely not two-thread-worthy.
I was hoping someone knows if there's a setting in the OS that can actually be used to adjust this. It seems to be something that has started working it's way through all the WM 6.1 ROMs.
It actually causes some applications that expect to have edit controls and droplists render at the same height to look less professional and introduces a discrepancy between hi-rez and standard 240x320 devices. As an application developer I just want to know if there's a way to fix it.
Consider too that by having a smaller droplist/tab control you actually are going to have a smaller target to use when trying to interact with the control. I don't know about you but the original tab controls were hard enough to hit with a finger on a device that's designed for "touch".
Well we all know tattoo has only a resistive touch screen. It will never support multi-touch or Pinch to Zoom.
But I've seen some innovative ideas for this.
One is long press and zoom.
: you can long press on screen and you get to drag up or down to Zoom In/Out.
next one is Circular Zoom.
hope we get one of this features on our Tattoo with 2.1 upgrade, and we get it soon.
Please HTC, Upgrade us.
if any one has a alternative tool like this to use with 1.6 already, please reply.
There won't be any system wide solution for this since they most probably won't add such things to the API. Unfortunately they don't care about resistive touchscreens.
One of the alternative browsers (Dolphin or Steel) has pretty cool zooming feature - hold and move to zoom in or out button...
yeah
i have no answer for this but yeah the circular motion to zoom would work just fine,
the old htc touch mk1 and touch dual had this feature.
problem is the apps that were rotational aware were of course windows-ce apps and not portable to android.
now you have mentioned this i do wonder why htc didnt include this feature, it worked so well on resistive screens.
