I recently installed the Kaiser 10 button comm manager and a different dialer skin. I didn't notice this issue until after I installed both, but I don't know why they would have affected the icon in the title bar.
Basically the icon shows a full charge all the time even though the state of the battery might be 50% or something other than 100%.
Anyway if anyone knows how to fix this let me know!
Thanks.
The following registry change will fix the problem:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:00000000
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000000
Edit registry only if you know how to do so
Worked like a charm
Thanks for the registry edits, it did the trick. I'm running |RAPH|ROM|6.5|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 'Warhawk' (SYS 23016) ★ | Built Aug 11
Maybe this problem is common to EnergyROMs
nice one, i fixed mine to.
installed 3g dialler that was hacked to remove phcanovebmp in order to keep the new batt, 3g and connection icons.....
used the regedit and everything works like a charm now, thanks
[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.
Details:

*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.

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.

I'll TRY to cab it up but dont expect miracles! Aaaahahahahahah. You can grab the kitchen files I just posted and recook with that as an Option.
I scoured the web for a decent looking 3G icon in CommManager and they were not pleasing to the eye. I am NOT an artist, in fact I suck at it but mine still look better than the alternatives and I provide the black and white CAB of the images to match most themes.
Here is my 3G icon CAB for Comm Manager based on this post: http://www.fuzemobility.com/how-to-disable-3g/
Why do you need this? Because turning off 3G makes my Touch Pro (AT&T Fuze) battery last longer, about 2-3 days instead of having to charge daily. Low 3G reception areas cause the phone to keep looking hard for that 3G signal. EDGE network is a trade-off, my other software has support have plenty of web browsers that are optimized for low-speed, so I only turn on 3G when I truly need some internet speed.
Only for GSM phones
Does not work on Touch Pro 2 or Diamond 2. My guess is it will no longer work for newer devices as HTC has disabled this hidden feature in Comm Manager. Use my app, JZ SmartMort which has a macro/script to turn 3G on and off. It's the only thing I can offer for newer devices.
It will replace whatever button is in the 5th position (look at the screenshots below), usually "Microsoft Direct Push" is in that position.
To restore Microsoft Direct Push back to position #5 in CommManager, you can do either of the following.
Uninstall my CAB and it will reverse the single registry change.
Using the Advanced Config Tool (Right-Menu -> More Settings -> Comm Manager) the order of the buttons can easily be changed.
Modify the registry for that 5th button HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\5\(Default) change "3G" string that my CAB put there to "AUTD", which basically means MS Direct Push.
The most important thing that the CAB provides is the four images that will end up in \Windows folder. After the CAB is installed, you have to kill CommManager.exe if it's running or take a reboot before seeing the new button/image.
This will work on VGA, QVGA and other devices running the "Diamond" or "Opal" version of CommManager (verify with screenshots below) and it should work on all ported versions of CommManager as well.
Tested on:
HTC Raphael / Touch Pro / Fuze
HTC Tytn II / Kaiser / Tilt --- (needs HTC CommManager like shown below not the original blue Microsoft one)
Enjoy!

I ripped this white 3G button with a circle around it from Da_G's WM 6.5 Kitchen.
Above you see how it looks and from the attachments this is CAB that you would want.
please help me, Icons on Comm manager!!

Did you install one of my CABs? If so then why is 3G button not in the 5th position? I also noticed that your signature says that you a Kaiser / Tilt, which is a QVGA device. I just tested my 3G CABs on a QVGA device and they work just as good as on VGA devices, so this can't be caused because you installed my CABs.
Re-install your Comm Manager from links below, obviously stick to QVGA.

Lastly, please don't use this thread for general questions unless you installed my CAB's and it's causing problems. There are plenty of Question & Answer threads/sections on this forum to post your questions and this answer was easy to find with the following google search terms "comm manager qvga xda" and "comm manager qvga xda diamond"...

Interesting, I don't have Touch HD so I can't say for sure but some procedures below should hopefully answer this popular topic of HD.
Have you tried going into Advanced Config Tool and following the instructions from the first post to change CommManager button order around?
I'm pretty sure that I've seen Touch HD with the same CommManager as Diamond/Fuze uses so it seems as if it should work.
Post screenshots if possible... of CommManager and Advanced Config settings. I want to see if the button present or grayed out, etc... It's hard to assess anything w/o this sort of info.
Looks like a neat piece of software!
Two questions:
1) Will it restore the default comm manager when uninstalled?
2) Is there a way for localisation (ie show some other text than English)?

Great question!
No, it will not return button #5 back to "Microsoft Direct Push"... You would need to use Advanced Config to change the order back... I guess I could create a CAB to restore back but Advanced Config is a popular utility, I would expect most users here to have that handy.
An uninstall will probably delete the image files from \Windows and leave the user with a blank button.
EDIT: look at the first post for a restore CAB which you should run after uninstalling.

I tested further and found out that my CAB will put the registry setting back to MS Direct Push when my CAB is uninstalled. This is the registry value: HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\5\(Default) = "AUTD"
Again, the answer is YES my CAB will put reverse the single registry change that it makes, I forgot about that general feature of CAB files.
I'm pulling the useless "restore" CAB from the first post.
Good mod but on my Htc Diamond doesn't work. If I put 3g icon to off in Settings i see GSM, but if I put it to ON i see on settings 'Auto' and not WCDMA (3G) so the diamond connect however to Edge (GSM).
Thanks

Is your Diamond CDMA or GSM?
Keep in mind this is not a hack, this is default functionality for that Comm Manager. My CAB simply changes one of the buttons to a predefined string in the registry, not something that I came up with. The only thing that I provide is the images... take a look at this website and you will see that this is a known mod for these devices but only GSM not CDMA versions of the devices. I will change the first post to reflect that.
Take a look at this thread, this mod has been out for a while:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/how-to-disable-3g/
When you use this mod w/o my CAB, the button will still work but will have an empty image which I certainly did not like, hence my effort.

My diamond is GSM version (With Sim) but UMTS, HDSPA and 3G Enable only with WCDMA Option..
'LouzeBerry' 6.5 ROM -- Version 061209 (changelog below)
This is my latest personal build. I'm posting it because I didn't notice any chefs putting together 6.5s with the standard TF3D, and I figured there might be people like me who are waiting until xboxmod gets done with converting the shipped version of TF3D2 to make the switch.
Getting to know this ROM:
* 6.5 Build 21812
* TF3D STANDARD with the FuzeBerry theme (turned off by default in favor of the new 6.5 Titanium interface; you can switch it in the Today settings).
* FuzeBerry for the 6.5 Titanium interface.
* Rhodium menu enhancement
* Tachi-style notifications (uninstallable)
* Opera 9.5 16277, Advanced Config, Google Maps, Titanium Customizer, Total Commander, Weathermaster (all uninstallable)
* HTC Album 2.5, with the social networking uploaders. I'm not crazy about the new behaviors 3.0, or about the fact that the uploaders aren't currently included in that version.
* Available with and without HTC on-screen keyboards.
* User Customization compatible.
(See further notes in next post)
061209B-KB - With HTC Keyboard
061209B-NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Updated to 21812. Scrolling is getting SNAPPY.
- Switched from HTC's Config Setup to WM6.5's
- Several updated packages, including a more WM6.5-friendly version of the HTC Task Manager
* Please re-download if you grabbed the original version. Corrected version is 061209B.
* If you have trouble starting YouTube: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3953769&postcount=124
Other recommended build:
052109KB - With HTC Keyboard
052109NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Returned to 21222 SYS. To put it eloquently, it's many much more betterer. Seems faster than the newer builds, and several people in the kitchen thread report minor bugs with 21231/2 they didn't see in 21222.
- Updated Google Maps. Street View!
- New Bluetooth driver. Da_G's description: It "has been modified to remove AVRCP being tied directly to WMP, that is it should function with whatever app you're using that supports AVRCP control now."
- New keyboard driver. The home key now calls the start menu (hitting the end key, as before, will get you to the home screen)
- Some new wallpapers. Hope you like indy chick rockers and/or bluegrass-informed acoustic alternative. Want an LB wallpaper that exactly matches the color of the current welcomehead (hey, I think it looks nice)? Download the "Blueback.zip" attached to this post (made it after the build).

MobileMatt, Mr. Fuzeberry himself, is now mirroring the ROM at http://www.fuzeberry.com/ may not always be the latest build)
Many thanks to Da_G for the kitchen, NRGZ28, Captain_Throwback, At0mAng for his own kitchen and patience, MobileMatt for creating Fuzeberry and mirroring LB, davitru for more mirrors, and all the other usual peeps.

Important Notes:
* Standard dialer, but skinned to look much nicer than it does by default.
* HTC Volume is omitted, because it won't change in-call volume without the HTC Dialer. Instead includes an app that looks almost identical
* Keyboard configured for the Fuze. Use this if you've got a non-Fuze Touch Pro.
* Removed certain redundant TF3D tabs. If you want them back, disable TF3D and unzip this to your windows folder.
* Any trouble installing items or accessing 'net with with JBEd? Go into JBed's network settings and manually pick the network appropriate for your carrier. Only a concern under certain network setups for the phone.
* Not everyone loves the Tachi notifications; they don't always act like you'd think. You can uninstall them under "Remove Programs." That will get you the default WM-style notifications. If you want the HTC-style large-button notifications (like on the stock ROM), install this as well.
* Beginning with 050609, the BioTouch files that are the core of the TouchFlo finger-scrolling are omitted, as they interfere with WM6.5's own scrolling in some cases. The practical upshot is that finger scrolling should be improved in many applications, but it won't work at all in YouTube. But using this application, you can scroll through YouTube (and lots of other stuff) nice and quickly with the scroll wheel. If you really can't live with this, install this cab for the old behavior (YT scrolling may still be choppy).
* Don't like the FuzeBerry look? Dirty commie.
--- Install this cab (updated 051809 - redownload if you got it before then) to get back the original WM6.5 icons in Titanium and the Start Menu.
--- Install this cab to get back the original Start Menu icons, but to keep Titanium in the FuzeBerry Theme.
--- And this to put TF3D back to the default look.
Warning: By doing any of this, you sacrifice super-awesomeness.
* Want an HTC Dialer back? Try the Tachi dialer. Caveats: It doesn't work in landscape, and the edit contact function won't do anything without TF3D2. But it does let you uninstall SetVolume and get HTC's Volume Rocker back (you can install HTC Volume w/o an HTC Dialer, but you won't be able to change in-call volume).
Older downloads/changelogs (see first post for most current changelog):
052709KB - With HTC Keyboard
052709NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Upgraded to 21725. Da_G says this is almost certainly 6.5.0.1
- New build brings a faster, slightly nicer IE. Also brings updates to all the widgets, and the return of the weather widget. They're faster and slicker than before.
- Minor tweaks and cleanup. Updates the "Rock and Republic LB" theme with a slightly different wallpaper (now matches the color of the welcomehead)
- Also adding today to Post No. 2: "Partial DeFuzeBerrify" cab, to keep the FuzeBerry look on Titanium, but to get original WM6.5 icons on the Start Menu. If you want more visual consistency on the Start Menu, but want to keep the grooviness of FuzeBerry elsewhere, this is good compromise.
052109KB - With HTC Keyboard
052109NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Returned to 21222 SYS. To put it eloquently, it's many much more betterer. Seems faster than the newer builds, and several people in the kitchen thread report minor bugs with 21231/2 they didn't see in 21222.
- Updated Google Maps. Street View!
- New Bluetooth driver. Da_G's description: It "has been modified to remove AVRCP being tied directly to WMP, that is it should function with whatever app you're using that supports AVRCP control now."
- New keyboard driver. The home key now calls the start menu (hitting the end key, as before, will get you to the home screen)
- Some new wallpapers. Hope you like indy chick rockers and/or bluegrass-informed acoustic alternative. Want an LB wallpaper that exactly matches the color of the current welcomehead (hey, I think it looks nice)? Download the "Blueback.zip" attached to this post (made it after the build).
051809KB - With HTC Keyboard UPLOADING - mirror by davitru
051809NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - mirror by davitru
- FINALLY organized the Start Menu.
- Speed tweaks
- Changed Connection Setup settings so it won't notify you automatically on first normal boot (was like this until a few builds ago). Make sure you run it manually if you're not prompted for setup during initial customization (you might be, depending on if/how you did your sdconfig.txt)
- Updated the Defuzeberrify cab from the post below (link is the same; file has been replaced) to include the folder icons for the organized start menu).
- Note (discovered after cooking): MP3 Trimmer is installed, but the lnk is missing from the Start Menu. It's in the Windows folder, and you can copy it into the Start Menu from there.
051609KB - With HTC Keyboard - mirror by davitru
051609NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - mirror by davitru
- Moved to 21232
- All MS Widgets now included
- Note: This is (probably) the last build where I'm leaving the Start Menu a big, flat mess. My weekend project is finally getting it organized.
051409KB - With HTC Keyboard - Mirror by davitru
051409NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - Mirror by davitru
- Moved to brand-spankin' new build, 21231
- Added "MyPhone"
- NetCF3.5 is now installed during initial customization, instead of cooked in, for better compatibility with 21231
- Minor additions/enhancements that come with the new kitchen
050609KB - With HTC Keyboard. Mirror by davitru.
050609NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier). Mirror by davitru.
- Fixed Initial Customization error in 050509KB version
- "Comm Mgr" in the Titanium Home screen now properly opens the Comm Manager, instead of the clock.
- The Biotouch.exe/Biotouch.dll files have been removed. See important notes in the next post on the impact of this.
050509KB - With HTC Keyboard
050509NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Moved to 21222, brand new build. With it comes improvements to IE, and possibly more responsive scrolling.
- No more freezes starting an SMS (hotfix was available in last version)
- PTT Button brings up new-style Comm Manager by default on Fuze
- New Welcomehead & Purple LB Wallpaper
050109KB -- with HTC Keyboard
050109NOKB -- NO HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboards easier)
- Moved to 21215, and a new kitchen. Should be snappier, and memory management should be better.
- I've disabled the automatic network setup on first boot. This prevents some people from having to go through it twice if something in their personal UC triggers it. Go to Start --> Settings --> Connections and select Connection Wizard to get set up.
- New Welcomehead, new versions of the wallpapers.
- Added in Adobe Reader
- HOTFIX: If you have freezes typing in names for an SMS, install THIS (only affects the KB build)

Sounds good! Ill be watching for updates.
Hey smith great roms, especially the latest one here its simply amazing. I have a few quirks that I have found. For a while now the last few of you roms have a bug where it shows the old style comm manager when using the PTT button. But the link in Start menu>settings>connections>comm manager is the right kind. I use the comm manager a lot do disable and enable 3g to save battery and not being able to get to it quickly is very bad.
Also could you add weather to the WM6.5 home menu like the mystic series rom.
Otherwise great rom.

I agree if when using settings, personal, buttons, and select comm manager that it lets us select the full comm manager that gives all the options. This would be a nice feature. For the weather thing just use chome editor bro, thats what i do to add panels/pages/etc. Thats not a biggie at all.

That Comm Manager issue has long been on my "Bugs me, but not a whole lot, and I've got other stuff to do" list for a while. But tonight I took a crack at it and came up with a fix:
Go into \Windows\Start Menu with Total Commander, and rename "Comm MAnager.lnk" to "Communications.lnk" -- or whatever name you might prefer. Then go into the Buttons control panel and select your newly renamed link. From now on, the button will go to the new manager.
"Comm Manager" will still be an option on the list, and you can switch to that if for any reason you ever decide you want the old-style manager (not that I can imagine you would).
It'll be set up that way by default in the next build. Edit: This is fixed in the current build.
If anyone's curious, the problem is that the button was actually pointing to a "comm manager" link in the Appbuttons folder, not the one in the start menu, and so long as both had the same name, only one would show up in the buttons control panel.
-----------
For the weather, I'm shying away from tools and plugins that are still under very active development. They get upgraded too quickly for me to feel it's very useful to include them in a ROM (although I certainly have done a ton of ROM updates over a short time, that should slow down now that virtually all kinks are worked out). I recommend setting up an SDConfig.txt file on your SD card to have anything like that installed by User Customization on the initial boot (that's how I have both Fav People and Titanium Weather getting installed on my own Fuze).
Hi Lou
after 041709B i flashed your new rom. Since now its excelent rom. I try it and give feedback. Is there any way to customize TF3D (add or remove Tabs) and change softkeys in it?

John

Schaps advanced config 3.3 that should be cooked into the rom bro. Go to settings, more settings, then see tf3d towards the bottom for tabs and at the top youll see something for the softkeys.
Thank's bro i run Advanceconfig but i didn't know about more settings.
I believe those softkey settings in Adv. Config are for the stock Today screen (what you get if both Titanium and TF3D are turned off, and you're using traditional Today plugins), not for the softkeys that appear in TF3D. But you can change the TF3D ones with these registry settings:

Non, adv config soft keys settings also works for tf3d, just not for chome. Though there is a simple way with chome with reg editor, go to hklm, software, microsoft, chome, then at the bottom is the reg for the left soft key. Now in that chome folder is also every panel that is active on chome and u can click any of those and change those left and right soft keys if you like. Only problem is i have no idea how to link them.
For example, the left soft key url is :MSCONTACTS. Now i have Icontacts installed to the phone, how do i find the Icontact's url to repleace the above? Id be golden if i could figure out how to find programs urls and how to link them in reg editor.

I don't have icontact installed to check it, but looking at the cab, it should probably be:
\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe
Just added this to the first post:

The issue was supposed to be resolved a few versions back, but I just discovered I goofed on the registry key. This solves a conflict that exists between WM6.5's own name-lookup and the HTC keyboard's name-lookup.
Problems with 5-1-09 rom
Hey there. It's the noob again.
I flashed your latests rom yesterday and have noticed the following issues.
Just want to make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong or if this is a "feature" of the rom.
1. When I want to close an app, I click on the X in the top right hand corner. On previous ROMS, that would close the app, but now it just minimizes it.
2. Have you found a way to link soft keys for CHOME yet? Advance Configuration manger changes the keys, but after you reboot, it reverts back to default (contacts).
3. When I click on the toolbar for a notification (Examples: sprite backup report, New email, etc) it takes me to the Notification screen, I tap the notification and: sprite asks to review the report, I tap yes and it just takes me back to the Home screen. On Emails, I tap the “New Mail” and nothing happens until I tap “close” or “Dismiss All”
Thanks - Markmi300

1. This is a configuration choice (all my ROMs have been this way). You can change it by going to Start -- > Settings --> System -- Task Manager (note: there are two different control panel items called Task manager, you want the one with the gray icon). Select "button" and you can change this to the behavior you're used to.
2. I haven't been looking for a way to change this (I like the default just fine for this), but check out the threads in Development and Hacking for CHome/Titanium editors. There might be a way to do this under there; not sure.
3. That's the Tachi/Topaz-style notification screen. It's not perfect, in particular when not paired with TF3D2. Aware of the flaws, I made it uninstallable. It's listed as "HTC Tachi Notification Enhancement" under "Remove Programs." If you uninstall it and so a soft-reset, you'll be back to the standard WM-style notifications. I've flipped-flopped in the past on dropping it entirely.
Just cabbed this up, and will add it to the first post:
If you want the HTC-style large-button notifications (like on the stock ROM), after you uninstall the Tachi notifications, install this.

Thanks Smith.
See - That's why I'm liking this Thread and your ROMS more everyday.
You actually HELP people. Where on other threads that I've posted, my questions usually just gather dust.
Thanks again.

I help where I can. But in all fairness to the other chefs (many of whom I owe thanks for their help with packages, questions, etc), their threads are a lot busier so it's a lot easier to get lost in the noise. .

Nice! Ill be sure to test it out for u tomorrow. Looks nice. Thats funny, "i swear thats his name". Ever see that movie "romeo must die" with jet li? Thats where i got deeeeznuts from, haha. When i joined here i have no idea why but that came to mind and i thought it would be funny. This place is the only forum thats my screen name. Then again the other forums have nothing to do with this kind of material.
I just developed this little Profile Switcher App in Manila Style.
First of all, big thanks to Michiprima who developed the great Manila SDK (I hope he will continue ;-) ).
Please post Tipps and Wishes.
Please donate over Paypal to st.staudacher[at]gmx.de if you like.
It runs on WM05 + and needs .net CF 3.5
Change Log:
Version 1.2:
- Manila OnOff Switches
- Comm Manager for Bluetooth, Wifi and Phone
Version 1.3:
- New Programm Icon
- New Symbols for each Controller
-reserved-
Update to Version 1.2
Dont want to be rude, but HTC CommManager do the same and even more...
Some tips
No QVGA support? It is working fine on my QVGA device only icons is big
When i launch, for example, Bluetooth program exit. For launching second function i need to reopen program.
BTW thanks for program.
No problem, there's nothing bad in critism if its objective.
Your right the CommManager has nothing more to ofer then HTC's, but the profile manager is a missing piece.
I combined both.
The exit after any change is wanted.
I didnt have the time for qvga version, but for a donate I make one for you.
Nice work. However, what do you think about adding more profiles, to be more specific - could you remove comm mgr options (wi-fi, bt, flight mode) and focus on more profiles with different options? For example, besides normal, vibrate and silent, could you add 3-4 custom profiles which can be edited?
Sadly, at the moment I dont have the time to do that.
It would be much more difficult because the three are the profiles windows mobile supports stocked others are created with tricks.
I like it the way it is, but it is a bit slow to launch for a quick switch, it would be great if you could work on improving the speed.
Very good idea, that´s what i was searching for!
1.) Can you add some language files? I could make the german one, just tell me how to do that EDIT: Okay, not seen that you´re from Germany too..forget my senseless "try to help"
2.) It´s really a bit too slow to compete with other commercial alternative (G-Profile e.g.)...is there any possibility to solve this issue?
I'm happy to here some positive feedback.
Yes I'm german that shouldn't be the problem ;-)
And I know even if this App contains only the simpliest words and not a couple of the, it looks nicer if one Systemlanguage is in every App.
I'm able to make a frensh, spanish, russian and hindi version, too.
I'm shure I would find a translater for italian and more languages.
As soon as I have the time, I will make a version supporting laguagefiles.
The performence is on the one hand depending on .net loading time, and on the other hand the feedback in here is much to less. Therefore I'm not willed to spend hours of work in optimizing performence with low effectivity.
I'm sure you understand that.
