[Q] Questions about cooked ROMs - TG01 General

Hello everyone, so by now we all have installed a vast number of cooked ROMs. Now the problem that I am having like so many other people, are these pre-installed virtual keyboards, once the chefs install them, there is no uninstalling them, updating them, nothing. Many cookers have pre-installed swype, however, swype 2.x has many slowdown issues relating to it and I prefer to install an earlier version of it, if I am going to use it, however that is just not possible, as when I do try to upgrade or downgrade to a different version, then my phone will freeze. I really don't think that cookers should install any virtual keyboards as they are very ease to install after the fact.
Next thing, FFBoy's roms have a different sd card driver in them. They really are totally free of any issues relating to the sd card. What other roms have this different sd card driver in them?
Finally, I am thinking of changing my radio in my device, are there any other radios to be afraid of.... or is it just Docomo's rom that permanently locks your radio and sim locks your device?
Thanks in advance,
-Kili.

Doesn't anyone love me?
Nobody love me!!..... sooooo sad.... the questions above I would have really appreciated some feedback on. Especially when I have pink eye!! I hate pink-eye (braaiinnnss)!
I messaged FFBoy, cuz man, it sure would be nice to understand a little bit more about his ROMs and the reason why his ROMs operate the SD Card better. Braiinnss... you know... maybe the reason why people don't respond to my messages it because they believe that they will get pink eye too? I am just here to assure you that you won't get pink eye... I promise! But seriously ... I have pink-eye... damn itchy red eye-poop-eyes. Anyhoo..
Lahboo ahndoe pea-zoo, (as they say in Japan),
-Kilifriendless. (I have friends but damnitt, they are all the real kind, I need some virtual friends!!)
PS: Someone add me as your friend, I have 0 xda-friends ... I feel like that kid on Southpark!

Hi Kili, i use ffboys roms, and i can install almost any virtual keyboard. he uses different drivers for his. unfortunately, he appears to have left the forum, he doesnt update his roms anymore in Miros rom7, try installing your CE-Star onthat and see how it goes. Miro used a different HTC EzInput in that, perhaps it may make a change

Thank you very much Olyloh6696, you’re the best, and you answered some of my questions too! One of my major issues is that I cannot use Garmin Mobile XT with other roms other than Windows Mobile 6.5.2 or earlier. With 6.5.3 or above, it has the bigger start menu and things on the screen are not aligned properly. It is really quite sad that I am such a perfectionist, I really don't like that 1/2 millimeter of blank space at the top of the screen. I think that I am also going to use FFBoy's ROM as well, although I will need to re-install everything and Swype may not work as well as I like but that is the price ya pay for not cooking things yerself. FFBoy's ROMs and Kevin P. White's ROMs are special I tell ya. I really love and appreciate all of MIRO's, but if I cannot add Japanese support to a ROM, than I can't even begin to look at it. I thought with all of my cool h4xx0Rn3zz that I could add a virtual keyboard if I really tried to MIRO's but, I couldn't, then I tried to bribe people to help me to fix it, that didn't work either, I even tried to convince MIRO himself to help me out, but ehheheheeh he is a busy guy and AND, I don't want to piss him off, he has done so much great work for this community and has NEVER asked for a donation in any way. I tell ya, I really appreciate MIRO and everything he has done for the TG01 community. His work is almost unprecedented, same with Cedesmith, Ffboy, my favorite Kevin P. White, and all the others who I have not mentioned... oh yeah, November dood..
Best regardz,
-Kili.
PS: I wish Kevin P. White would make just one more 6.5 ROM and add the SD card driver that FFBoy uses in his ROMs. That would be perfect, absolutely perfect.

Your welcome thanks for your help too, regarding my new batteries! yes i agree with you too about WM 6.5.3. personally i don't use 6.5.3. i find it very slow, unstable and battery life is not as well optimized. I strongly recommend Ffboys roms or kevinpwhite too. I like Miros roms s
too. If you are going to choose between a ROM, i recommend the ROM in my sig WM6.5(if you like sense) it is very fast has very good battery optimization, good amount of free RAM and ROM to suit your needs. It is about 95% bug free (only a few htc stuff don't work.)
(if you aregoing to try this ROM, use build 21808. the newer version has too many bugs and sms doesnt work!)
altternatively, if you want to use a clean ROM, i recommend FFBOYS WM6.5 Clean build.
FFBOY also has a good wm6.1 ROM built with all the latest drivers.
i think if you try ffboys ROM, your gps should work fine, and your SD Card
i hope everything works outfor you

Hi Kili!
I am presuming, you were not able to resolve the issue with CE Keyboard! I tried to google CE keyboard cab, but can't find it! So unable to install this keyboard on my rom to try it out. Let me know if you find it.
Regarding SD card drivers - I have never faced any issues with any roms and my SD card! What sort of driver issues exactly are they? (noob, yes that's me!) May be I might have faced these issues, but not realized them? :s
In terms of radios - I have found 1600,1700 to be good ones and 1700 to be the best for the UK, obviously for you it might change depending upon what sort of area you might wander into!

Oh, sorry, eheheh, it is not CE keyboard cab, it is CE-Star Japanese IME, CE-Star's Trail can be installed for 15 days, so whoever wants to help me out can do so by downloading the program either from CE-Star's website located here http://www.ce-star.com/products/CE-Star.php, or you can directly download the newest version of CE-Star from MegaUpload http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9FTAZUE1.
The problem that I have with the SD Card is this. When I install programs and applications to the SD Card, then sometimes those items show up as blank icons in my start menu. If you click on one of those blank icons, then your phone will hang for a few minutes and then give you an error message after. Using FFBoy's ROMs I never experience this issue, because he uses a different SD Card driver from a nand backup of an engineering tg01. Too bad he has disappeared... where did he go? I hope he is ok!
-Kili.
PS: Thanks for always trying to help my friend!

Ah, that problem - I have with all SENSE roms for few apps that I install via market place! I din't figure it was something to do with drivers as all these apps I install are on device memory! Never faced issue specific with icons in start menu in miROMs. However, to be honest, I always tend to replace my start menu so never see this ugly start menu for issues like that !
OK, now I know where I was doing something wrong for CE THING! I am on the case, Kili, gimme few days/hours (if you are lucky!)
ps: I am going to count all your posts and tell you how many of them you have definitely 'edited' hahahaha! There is hardly a single post that is 'non-edited'. I think you fall in the category of 'perfectionist' may be?

If you want to uninstall any cab as keyboard or any other and you can't do it from program manager. So you can do this.
1.Restart installation and before get to calibration screen plug your usb cable and synchronized your phone with mobile device center.
2. Then delete all cabs you don't want.
3. Continue with installation.
4. That's it all.
p.p I think there was a post about how to do that just look little bit around the forum. There are more posts just I am lazy to find it now :0P
You can install and uninstall everything you want.
