I'm running the DCD WM6.1 ROM for my Mogul along with SPB Pocket Plus 4.0.2.
I've noticed that often the device hangs after a reboot while loading the plugins if I have Pocket Plus enabled.
However, if I use the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 plugin, which allows you to embed today plugins into tabs but not shortcuts and embed the Pocket Plus plugin into the Mobile Shell plugin, it works fine. (Sorry that sentence seems a little confusing.)
Anyone else have problems with Pocket Plus? Do you have any work arounds? I read something about applications all starting at the same time can result in problems but I couldn't find a way to delay the startup of a Today plugin...
I'd just use Mobile Shell but you can't put shortcuts into it's tabs other than "Home."
I have WM 6.1 & Pocket Plus 4.0.2 as well & run it with no problems. I integrate a lot of the Mobile Shell plugins into the Pocket plus tabs with no problems. DO you have the same problem when you run Pocket plus with the default tabs, i.e., no extra plugins running?
no problems
I have no problems with PP. Is it installed on the phone not the card?
I as well have the 6.1 + Pocket Plus 4.0.2, and I have had problems. Something is just not right. Usually, after a soft reset, it does hang. Takes just about 5 resets till it comes back. But, fortunate for me, I play around with a lot of different programs and have found these facts: 1) If Pocket Plus 4.0.2 is installed on the today screen, it would therefore be in the start up folder. And this is where the problem is. 2) But, if it is installed into another program that plays well with startup then, Pocket Plus is not the initial startup program and all works! So, as stated, SPB Mobile Shell is an excellent fix. But, I personally use Ultimate Launch. That program is the $*it! If your not willing or don't want neither programs this, I'm afraid will always happen. Maybe it's something with the rom or perhaps, Pocket Plus but, never the less it's there but, can be avoided.
yeah, i have the same issue, it keeps part of the green wm6.1 spash and the pp plugin is non responsive, if i let it sit it will lock up the entire device, if i hit the start menu key and launch something from there liek file explorer then close it right away its fine
In startup not the problem
I have alsways have Pocket plus in my startup. It is the core of my Home screen. It loads with no problems at all. There must be something else interfering as that is not the problem.

ive only had the problem with wm6.1, are you running 6.0 or 6.1?
6.1
I am running 6.1 Professional.
With which kitchen did you compile your 6.1 rom?
Hmmm... I have personally had this problem since gettin the DCD 6.1 kitchen with Pocket Plus. And so have many others. I can not possibly see how your not having the same exact issue unless you are cooking in a different kitchen or someone else compiled the rom (using a different kitchen).
kitchen
Flashed mine a while ago, but I am fairly sure that it was Randomize. It is called Storm 2.1
Please make sure that your device is cid and sim unlocked before installing the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...80#post1354180 Also put your device into bootloader manually by pressing the camera button and softreset at the same time
Ok first I just want to say thanks to eaglesteve for helping me test new BT stacks however, I was unable to get a bt stack that would do file transfer to and from phone or laptop and still have it work for bt headsets. I should point out that the bt stack that is in there does work just not for everything some of the files are from the diamond and some are from ap4 and I personally have tested using BT headphones, BT mouse and BT keyboard all at the same time and it works pretty well. I also want to thank ervius for helping me with xip porting and to cmonex for helping with anything I needed help with and thanks to Anunnaki for the animated startup and anyone else I forgot about
I added new splash screens that are in line with the startup theme from my last rom, hope u guys like as I did it myself
Ultra Vanilla: build 19521.1.1.0
added total commander over file explorer
removed stuff from cpl reg
added custsk to config.txt
fixed welcomehead startup
switched band to auto
changed quickgps reg settings to 7 days
changed default phone skin
enabled autotimezone
added tcpmp and all plugins in place of wmp
added easy config for wimp with hardrest option (will be explained in download folder)
Of course this is a uc compliant rom if you are unfamiliar with this then click on the link to find out how to make a sdconfig.txt file so all your apps are loaded automatically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
I have removed about 22mb of stuff but I kept all the reg settings and intflashfiles.dat settings also. So if you want to add any of that stuff back into the rom just copy it to your device and it should work.
There are no screen shots as this is Ultra Vanilla so there is not much to show off

thanks for sharing.
do you know about registry editor from total commander? Looks is not included
looks the button assignation for networks is lost (right side, over power button)and commmgr.exe is not present
Irus,
I just installed it and have the following questions/concerns:
1. I can't find comm manager so I can't turn on wifi.
2. My previous taxis/irus rom did not have any keyboards installed and I liked that about ultra-lite.
3. no real vga to alter dpi (can I install this separately?).

different people use different comm managers so i left it out
i kept default keyboard so people could choose their own
you can install that yourself
Ok.
Could you (or someone) point me to a comm manager and the realvga software to download.
Thanks!

GPS is good this time. Cold fix took 1 minutes and 44 seconds outdoor under clear blue sky. The same spot that I stood when I tested the Chinese ROM, which incidentally took more than 6 minutes. But Sprite Terminator still does not work. I think it does not work in WM6.1 period. With Wm6.0 it works.
Noticed an error when trying to navigate to bluetooth folder.
Also, it is strange that a number of my application acquired a generic icon for the application rather than the proper icon. Does anyone else have this problem? Edit: icon appeared after a soft reset.
Still installing application, but it feels fast. I think you have a winner here.

to be honest i noticed better gps fix but i thought it might be tomtom7 as i got a cold fix in under 5 min from in my house and did not use quickgps. so glad to here its not just me. also i know about BT problem i was trying to get the ms stack and the other stack that you tried that worked on file transfers, to coexist but no luck. glad you like it
Truly admire your passion, will only possible to test your latest on week-end.
irus,
I thought you had WIMP cooked in, but can't seem to find it.
Your spalsh screen is nice. The only thing I'm uncomfortable is the fact that you advertise to the potential thief how to do hard and soft reset. I'd rather that info be extremely difficult for the thief to obtain.
Cheers.
I wonder if it is just me. I noticed that occasionally the device seems to refuse to reflesh /update the screen, showing completely wrong info and image. For example, the icon of application often does not get instantly updated after an installation. When I was using my eWallet, when I click on the Field tab, it is not showing the screen for that but from whatever was left behind just before this. Some strange behaviour.
There is something strange with some drivers i think.. TT6 (i've installed the common application for anu LITE rom) screen refresh is very slow, changing menus I see a "fading" slow effect and a sloooow refresh rate. (you used net cf 3.5 right?)
Other suggestion
1)I will suggest to remove customer experience
2) Default sounds aren't working
3) too many SIP, they waste resources and memory

I think so too. The refreshing of screen is not functioning normally.
Anyone having problem setting up email accounts and connecting to them? I took several attempts before I managed to set up email account. It did not see the service provider I had set up before. My service provider was strangely not on the pull down list when I tried setting it up manually. Later, after it was set up, attempt to download mail results in something to the effect of invalid settings for connection.

Okay, I've decided to start this thread with the intention of collecting specific, practical, and working ideas on how to make this ROM a real speed demon.
Currently, my device is really fast, not just fast. I'm using 192dpi with Spb Mobile Shell and Diamond Interace skin, and every single click produces instant response. My TomTom 7 loading is also much faster (faster in portrait than landscape though) .The tweaks that I have performed however, is suitable only for the way I use the device, so not all ideas will be applicable to everyone.
Requirements:
==========
For start, let me say that my requirements are as follows:
- I do not use bluetooth headset, or bluetooh gps. I only use it for file transfer purposes to/from PC and to/from other phones.
- I do not want auto-rotate. That drives me crazy. I only want it done with my user assigned hardware button. However, I do want to use the sensor applications such as the bubble level. I use this to figure out the slope on my golf putting green, as a example of its use. (It's cheating in golf rule BTW, but I use it only for practice purposes, not during Competition)
- I want to manually initiate the QuickGPS data download, not automatically, and I do not wish to be reminded if it "expires".
- I do not use the sub-display or carry hardware keyboard
- I do not use the HTC TouchFLO, as I think that FtouchSL works much better. Just remember to exclude application such as Opera, Resco File explorer so that you don't end up having the half freezing effect.
- I do not use Windows Live, as I'm not in US or England
Tool needed
=========
You need to install FDCSOFT Task Manager to manage the services.
The idea
=======
To disable all unused services which requires loading as well as resources to run on a continula basis.
What services have I disabled?
======================
1. SubDisplay(SDM0)- this is only needed if I use keyboard and I want the subdisplay to work.
2. HTC Sensor Service (Athena)(SEN1: ) this is only needed if I want the device to auto-rotate globally. If I want it to rotate only for specific applications, I still can disable this if I use the SKKV GSensor application..
3. Windows Live (WLM0). I don't use this software, so why let this service run all the time?
4. Bluetooth Audio Gateway (BAG0) I think I only need it if I'm using bluetooth headset but not sure. Those of you with BT headset might want to see if the headset still works if this is disabled.
5. Bluetooth HID Loader (BHL0) I was surprise that all file transfer still works with this disabled.
6. Certificate Enroll Engine (CES0) Not sure what the function is, but my device works okay without it. May be those who connect to the corporate server might need this,
7. Credential Manager (CRD0) Same comment as for item 6.
Set as Manual:
===========
QuickGPS app service (Stop, and set manual).
Currently my File system cache is enabled with cache size of 8MB. My File System filter cache is 4096 sectors and Glyth cache is 64KB. However, I really do no know what is the most optimal setting here. Perhaps someone who has played around and experimented more than myself would improve on this.
In addition, go to the Proccess tab and terminate the following processes:
- BioTouch.exe
- SAPSettings.exe
These two items will come back after each soft reset, so you need to do each again. Anyone knows how to more permanently disable these, please let me know.
Today plugings:
===========
If you're using SPB mobile shell, you should be able to do away with almost all other plugins. I just tick the Home Tab in Today Item selection screen, and pin my most frequently used applications there. I might also place my news feed there later. With spb mobile shell, I now basically have the entire today screen vacant for just these two plugins. Before this, my iLauncher, sbsh weather, spb time, spb phone suite used to take a while to load up after each soft reset. Now, I no longer use iLauncher, SPB time, SBSH weather, SPB Phone suite. Spb mobile shell takes far less resources and loads, loads much faster, and works more quicly than having those four plugins. Part of my continual improvement process I guess to move on.
At present the VGA skin for SPB Mobile shell could not be said to be as attractive as those availabel to the QVGA users. Hopefully this will change.

I'm using 1.58. I do really think that there is a noticeable improvement in data connection speed using this version.
Let's use this thread to collect all the ideas specific to the Sogarth Base ROM
Cheers.
1) Disable SAPsettings too unless you have a car BT and you want to access the SIM data (SAP=Sim Access Profile)
2) Install NETCF3.5 using modaco tools NETCFCFG and NETCFv35 cab. You still have the 2.0 and level will work PLUS the 3.5 version to speed up some other appz
BioTouch
Hi EagleSteve,
This post is great idea. This lets us collect and verify all the possible tweeks which we need very much, as this ROM is great, but needs proper set of settings.
About BioTouch, I think it belongs to TouchFlo. I did not instal it (I run Irus Vanilla flavour of Sogarth's rom and FTouchSL as well) and I do not have BioTouch on my list of processes.
It is funy, I also did not install SubDisplay staff, but I have it on list of services, but in stoped state. To be sure I disabled it.
I wonder what about TaskManager(TMX0) and EnlargeStartMenu(EMX0). Both of them I have in stopped state. I do not use TaskManager, as I use WKTask, so mayby I could disable it as well.
I also do not use EnlargeStartManu, but I remember that once Sogarth said that some other apps or services relay on EnlargeStartmenu, so I am afraid to disable it. Any clues?
By the way my, battery status shows up in 10% steps. I think I have ommited something while installing Irus addons. I wonder what could that be.

Odd. The Subdisplay service should be defined in X7510_Subdisplay, so if you removed that, the service shouldn't be there either. It's definitely not in my list, and I removed X7510_Subdisplay.

You're correct that the HTC Task Manager depends on the TaskManager service. Removing PACKAGE_Diamond_TaskManager and PACKAGE_Diamond_TaskManager_0409 will remove that service from the list. Also, EnlargeStartMenu isn't needed - I think you're remembering when I mentioned Diamond_LargeTitleBar (and the corresponding LargeTitleBar/AP21 service), which is notably more useful.

I TaskManager is the tool you use to view the services is'nt it?
Enlagestartmenu could be safely disabled AFAIK,but personally I like it. I do not like the enlaged bottom menu text, but I like the enlaged text for the task bar. Anyway, don't be afraid to stop it and see what happens. If it does not have any ill effect, then go ahead to disable it.
Now that you mentioned it. I thought battery could change in 1% increment in WM6.1 so I also wonder why this changes in 10% increment. That does not bother me however.

HTC Task Manager is too limiting in functionality, which is why we're using FdcSoft Task Manager. I suppose I would go ahead to remove that.
Edit: Actually I do not have any task manager service in my list. I think this is because I had already gone into Start/Settings/System/Task Manager (the white one, not the dark one) and under button tab, I uncheck the Enable Quick Meu on today screen.
Sogarth, from end user's perspective, what is the difference between EnlargeStartMenu and LargeTitleBar? That information is needed before I go ahead to change it and do the correct enabling/disabling.

My understanding is that EnlargeStartMenu gets you the oversized start menu and menus. LargeTitleBar gets you the status bar "magnification" (where the entire screen gets filled with whatever notifications you have).

So, enlarge menu is for the top part of the screen, while large title bar is for the bottom?
I hate big text at the bottom. It makes it necessary for me to scroll my menu items, and mess up the text in a number of applications.
Okay, I now know what the Large Title bar is. It is the guy that gives you the full screen (with the title System Status) with the Data Conncetion Icon, Phone Signal Icon, and Volume Icon when you click on these otherwise small icons on the task bar. Okay, it is useful.

EnlargeStartMenu enlarges the Start Menu and all other menus (including the ones in, say, Resco Explorer). LargeTitleBar only affects the notification icons, I believe. For example, if you tap on your signal icon, does it come up with a black screen labelled "System Status", with magnified versions of all of your other notification icons? That's LargeTitleBar.

Thanks. Removed. Don't have a bluetooth car phone. Even if I have it, it would not make sense to use it. Athena is already a good speakphone.
What about the biotouch? I regret having installed it since if I ever want auto-rotate I could use SKKV Gsensor. Where is the registry entry to remove in order to get this service out of the system for good?
Edit: found this folder: HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch. Can I delete the entire key? Will it inadvertantly remove also the component needed to run BubbleLevel and the other sensor based program?

BioTouch is for TouchFLO. To completely disable TouchFLO, you should be able to disable the SmartTouch service. Unfortunately, I'm actually not sure where Biotouch.exe gets started from. I'm looking right now, though....

Yes it has NETCF 3.5, and some applications could have problems. I prefer to have BOTH using the modaco tool to have the full compatibility

I've seen lots of conflicting information about filesystem caching. Thing is, according to Microsoft, all of the numbers you think you're changing either do nothing (since the values are actually loaded in XIP), or the numbers only affect SD cards (post from April 13, 2006 2:13 PM).
Now... that being said... guess what? We can muck around with the XIP ourselves! So maybe that would be an interesting option....
SmartTouch service
Can anybody tell something about SmartTouch. Is it with TouchFlo, so if this is not used then we could disable SmarttToch as well?
Edit:
Sorry, didn't noticed previous posts.

Maybe this is my problem with AgePhone and it's crackling sound in this rom. I believe in Irus Full, there was .NETCF 2.0 and I installed NetCF3.5 afterwards. Mayby this AgePhone uses 2.0? This means I should go back to kitchen and try to cook my version of Vanilla wit Necf2.0 and then install all the rest from Irus addons.
I wonder if I can omit this endless customization loop, as my first attempt ended up with it so I dropped it and went to Irus version, only to find out that it was there as well. Maybe it was not in the rom, but in my extended rom. I've opened it and found some config.txt with cabs to install. I think they are from my original HTC rom 6.0, but am not sure.

If this is the case, it would mean there is no point playing with the pagepool size, right? Might as well have 0 MB pagepool like what irus is doing with his latest ROM.
Victoria, Agee Phone works
I just found that they have new version, 2.62. I installed it and it works well. Great. so now I can stay on this rom at last, as all the other things seem to be solved.
Edit:
wuuu. It is not working on 3G/HDSPA. It only works well on WiFi. It is strange, becouse my office is connected to internet through HDSPA dongle. It means that some network settings in this rom make VoIP connection such a poor one. I have to further investigate.
Hi guys, I have been going thru tis forum for quite sumtime now and i must tell u that it is the most comprehensive forum dedicated to xda range of fonez.
I'l be picking up a HTC P3400i tomorrow. I remember seeing a thread on installing a software similar to the htc touch flow onto a P3400i.
But sumhow, i cant find it no more. I would be amazing greatful to whoever can get me the link to that thread.
I kno im in for alot of flak for posting tis thread, but i really did search the whole forum but codnt find anytin.
Again, im sorry for wasting a thread.
Apologize!
Hi did you get it ? even i am looking for the same . Can you please mail me the link if you get it . My id is [email protected]
Thanks
There are 3 ways to get TouchFlo on P3400i:
1. Upgrading to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with TouchFlo Embedded : TouchFlo performs best when it is embedded in a ROM. Study about rom flashing a bit and the pros and cons associated with a particular ROM and then upgrade to a windows mobile 6.1 ROM with touchflo embedded. That will give improved performance along with the goodies.
Be warned that its a dangerous process so take utmost care. Plus before flashing a ROM make sure its for your phone or not, plus if there are any limitations with it, if any. For P3400i, only one ROM is available as of now and that is Lomlom's fusion 9.0 ROM for new gene. The thread for that is in this part of the forum itself.
2. Installing the original TouchFlo (Manilla 2D): Original Touchflo that comes with HTC Viva, Touch Diamond etc is known by the name Manilla 2D, so search for this name. You can find it on this forum, but beware, in case of a P3400i, it makes the phone very, very , very slow and you will have only 9 MB of phone memory remaining after installing it. Plus, you cannot uninstall it fully without doing a Hard Reset. Simply saying, its not usable.
3. ThrottleLauncher : is a great app that works and looks almost same like the original Manilla 2D but its not that fast too. the good thing with it is that it wont make your phone very slow, although it will be slower than default. This is the safest way to try TouchFlo technology ion your phone. Otherwise, upgrading the ROM is the best possible way, albeit a dangerous one.
Thanks for the quick response I appreciate it very much
I am new to PDA phones and p3400i is my first one and so I don't have much idea about the technical aspects like ROM. So, I would like to try out the safer throttleLauncher i have gone through their website and i have few basic doubts can you please clarify
1) what is soft reset ?
2) To do soft reset do i have to install a new software ? where can i get it and how to install it?
Pardon my ignorance
Thanks a lot

1.Soft reset mean press a very little button that beside the USB port of your gene...it's a reset buton like your PC.
2.up 2 you... you can soft reset by many way install program that make your gene has a soft reset button on the gene screen.
Yes, as PlaiNutto stated, soft reset means to restart your device using the reset button provided at the bottom of the phone, beside the miniusb port that we use to connect data cable and headfone. Its a small hole near it and the button is inside so that it is not pressed accidently. You can press it by using your stylus.
Soft Reset is same is restarting your phone after shutting it down by power key, but it doesnt gives the applications running inside your phone a chance to respond or shut down. Power key provides a little time for apps to shutdown. So Soft Reset button is used when because of a faulty app, the whole OS is stuck and power button is not working.
Soft Reset does not removes any data at all from your device.
In addtion to that, there are many apps available that provide you to soft reset your phone just by running them. But they are only useful if your phone is not hung.
I hope this will clear out all your doubts.
One thing about throttle launcher, install the app only in phone memory, even if it prompts you to select a location at the time of setup. And after installation, goto Start Menu> Settingd> Today and here on the items tab, select only ThrottleLauncher as today item and unselect all other.
Rest you can customize using the configuration utility provided. Please read the documentation about this application from its website to get full benefit from it.
In case of any furthur queries, you are most welcome.
Thanks a lot for the explanation.
I understand it perfectly now
I have another doubt
The second step in the installation procedure is
" Unselect the today plugin if you have it activated "
(http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/84-094k)
How do i do it ?
In Menu > Setting > Today there is no option to unselect any plugin. There are options only to select a theme and picture and there is a tab for selecting items. So how do i unselect the plugin ?
And also before installing any applications the programme memory is 55 % full so if i install throttle launcher will it slow down my mob drastically ? Is there a way to free the programme memory?
Thanks a lot.
The Items tab that you are talking about is the one used to unselect today plugins. Actually, Today is the screen that you see after exiting all the apps on your phone, the Desktop. On this today screen, there can be various items running like the HTC home plugin, Tasks plugin etc. These items are called Today plugins and can be selected or deselected from that tab. Since throttle launcher uses the entire today screen for itself so there is no space for other plugins. Thats why it is adviced to unselect all the items on the Items tab except for Throttle Launcher.
Filling up of phone memory does not slows down your phone abnormally, but ya, this memory is needed for contacts, sms, mms, email etc so exhausting it completly will cause problems. Also note that since throttle launcher is a processor intensive app, it will make your phone a bit slower.
I would recommend that you stay away from throttle launcher or Manilla like apps. They are not worth so much of the effort. And since you are very new to Windows Mobile, you wont be able to configure throttle launcher easily to get full benefit of it. The best option for you is Manilla 2D cooked into the ROM of your mobile, but since you are a newbie, i wont recommend that too. I think you should enjoy your mobile with its original capabilities and later when you become more confident with the internals of the WIndows Mobile OS, you can flash your phone with a good ROM. I too used a Manilla 2D cooked ROm on my gene for sometime, but none of these custom ROM provide as good functionality as the original one, there are errors here and there on all of them.
Rest is upto you, you decide yourself. Enjoy Windows Mobile buddy and keep exploring it, there's an ocean of possibilities inside this OS
krazy...THANKS FOR THE INFO..
I have an Alltel HTC Touch Pro, and decided to try the SPB Mobile Shell.I love it. Except for 1 huge detail: I don't like the windows media library setup.
I really actually enjoyed the touchflo3d audio manager, it was neat, versatile, and very FINGER FRIENDLY, unlike wmp...
Is there any way to use the touchflow 3d audio manager on SPB Mobile Shell?
If not, can anyone explain how to use the htc audio manager? It appears to be a usable substitute:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308366
That forum is for the Wizard, and I don't see why it refuses to work for the TP. There is a CAB file for the software in that thread, and it appears to install correctly, with the program file in my program list, etc. However, even after a soft reset, when I click on the audiomanager program, NOTHING happens. It exits the program list, and simply goes back to SPB Mobile Shell.
Help?
Hi,
i'm very interested in this too. Is there any answer?

you can download this version which i modded to include Smartlyrics. If you get an error telling you to many people have download it than ask if someone can post it as i no longer have the cab.

Hmm, that is not a solution i think,
you still don't get a mediaplayer-like widget for audio manager.
