HTC Home Customizer v1.0 BETA 6 - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

It seems no one has mentioned this. Went to download HHC after flashing and hard reset and saw there is a newer version. My search shows that it hasn't been mentioned, so here we are.
http://www.pocketemu.com/news.php
Saturday 01 March 2008
- WM6 support only (previous WM5 support intact, new features may not work)
- Fixed broken plugin and audio manager downloading
- Changed the way appearances are stored. All appearances are now stored in zip files instead of folders to save space on your device. If you have any custom appearance sets, you must zip the files INSIDE the folder together, then name the zip file whatever you like. Take a look at the sets included for an example.
- Removed the "Pocket Hosts" method of redirecting weather. You must now be running a version of HTC Home with N2A's modifed DLL. If the entry is set in your registry, the customizer will remove it.
- Changed the weather DB location function
- Explorer dialogs are now alphabetical
- Added application downloads (only AudioManager works for WM5)
- Fixed some other minor annoyances
- Added a few sets to the repo (still working on the preview site)
- Updated downloadable Home plugins to N2A's modified for local weather
A couple things may not work properly as I could not verify all my previous bugfixes from BETA 4 to BETA 5 are intact. If you have a problem, be sure to post them in the forum or comment on this news item.

Nice find! I haven't seen anything about the update either.

it dont work for me getting errors after installation. could it be i need to compact framework 2.0
now using 3.5?

Hi:
THANKS!
I had stopped even checking for updates, because I thought it had been abandoned. I saw the developer was no longer answering questions on his site etc., and assumed beta 5 was as good as it was getting (not complaining, it is truly a great program).
Anyway, thanks for pointing it out

nicely done. thanks!

Thanks, will update right away.

TuMa v1.3 - BETA - WM5 ROM - Wizard Ported to BA

Updated to TuMa v1.3 ... all in the quest for perfection!
Apologies for the "fast" update to the previous ROM, but there were a number of things which DID need fixing and improving, especially the filesystem bug, and I believe I've accomplished that now.
All of the bugs and issues which were mentioned in the TuMa v1.1 thread (I believe) have been addressed - except for the BlueTooth disconnect issue. However, I have news directly from mamaich, that he is looking into the BT issue, and will hopefully have a solution soon.
The BIGGEST and BEST news is that my Phone RINGS after 1 RING now!
Although for this to work it is REQUIRED that you use a WAV file for your RingTone. Converting any MP3, WMA, or whatever into a WAV is a simple exercise - but it just uses a LOT of storage space. I've made a new "LoudOldPhone.wav" file, and set it as the default ring in this ROM. Test it out first and let me know your results.
TuMa v1.3 removes the LoudOldPhone.wav, and has all the standard Ring Tones converted to WAV format appropriately, so that ALL default rings will RING the phone quickly.
NOTE: The WAV file RULE applies for all NOTIFICATION sounds as well. Ensure that you choose only WAV files for these elements, and you'll have a snappy Blue Angel!
TuMa v1.2 (Wizard Port) Features:
- Originally based on the Wizard Port by mamaich
- OS and Application extracted from Himalaya, Jasjar, Wizard, and other ROMs
- Core Applications entirely contained in the ROM - Additional CABs not required
- EXTROM is now available again! You can repartition the EXTROM as you wish
- Quantum Timing (Thread Switching) set to 25ms timeslice (performance boost)
- Filesystem Performance improved (maximized), while still retaining reliability
- Notification and Phone Ring Time Improved (MUST USE xxx.WAV FILES!!!)
- Numerous other OS Level Performance Tweaks and Improvements made
- Useful Applications added to Startup Folder (easily disabled)
- So you can easily add whatever you want to this "base" ROM
TuMa v1.3 (Wizard Port) Features:
- Fixed Voice Command Registry Bug. Now you can remap the button as desired without registry hacking.
- Converted all Standard/Default Ring Tones to be WAV files for FAST Ring Times (with maximum volume)
- Fixed the Arcsoft MMS CABs to put the media files into the correct/best folders (avoid Ringtone issues, etc.)
- Fixed the HTC Camera CABs to NOT reset the MMS Manager DLL Entries if a different MMS Manager is used in future
- Added the RamDisk version of the Camera CAB for those who want to use it (must edit your EXTROM)
- Removed the Waterfall.jpg, and Flower.jpg default images, since I ran out of space in the ROM :roll:
- Fixed a Spelling and Versioning mistake in the v1.2 ROM
- Updated the readme.txt in the TuMa v1.3 ZIP file ...
There are presently 3 optional CAB files. During installation you may simply CANCEL the installation of the CAB file, and not have the feature installed.
i.e. Users with a SX66 will NOT want to install the HTC Camera application.
* MidletManager-TuMa.cab - Installs the Java Midlet Manager
* ArcsoftMMS-TuMa.cab - Installs the Arcsoft MMS Composer (NOTE: You must create an account)
* HTC Camera-TuMa.cab - Installs the HTC Camera and updates MMS for Camera operation on device
TuMa v1.3 adds:
* HTC Camera-TuMa-RamDisk.cab - Installs the HTC Camera and updates MMS for Camera operation on "Temp Disk"
Camera users will want to CHOOSE which Camera CAB they use. You can either rename the CAB file to be the same (without the "-RamDisk") or change the "Cfg.txt" configuration file to suit your choice.
I've included FULL installation instructions, and the "BaUpgradeUt.exe" and support files into the ZIP file. Please read the "readme.txt" file for full upgrading instructions. There is a SetOperator.bat file included in the ZIP which will make setting the Operator ID a "piece of cake" now. 8)
The EXTROM files are unchanged from TuMa v1.1 for those who are upgrading to v1.2.
The EXTROM files are different for TuMa v1.3. Use the new ones for best results. 8)
FYI: For anyone providing feedback, I will be leaving for Germany (from New Zealand) on Sunday, so I'll only have until then to respond and/or make any updates/patches or corrections. Hopefully there won't be any!
Most importantly now ... Download from here:
*** Edit: Fixed download locations ... again! ***
Download Tuma v1.3 (recommended)

This is actually a battery meter! Check out the "Battery Meter" in "Tools", and you can configure it as you wish. It's a very low-low overhead way of having the battery status at a glance. As always, if you don't want it - simply remove the shortcut from the "Startup" folder and it's gone.

By not doing so, all my installed applications are still there after the upgrade.

When upgrading the ROM, it is VERY STRONGLY recommended (scratch that REQUIRED!!!) that you perform a full HARD RESET of your device, and Clean the Registry, and Format the Storage (read the readme in TuMa v1.2). By not doing so you run the risk of having corrupted registry information, and you will NOT have the benefit of the changes made in this ROM.
It will then run slowly, it will have problems, and it will give random errors nobody else has. In essence, your device will be running a new ROM with old instructions ... not a good look.
So, it's still your choice (I can't hit the buttons for you) ... if you don't do it YMMV. 8)
I luv u Tuatara ! :lol:
But I have question, why don't changing Splash Image??? :?:
Is it still have a color strip when u do hard/soft reset ?
How fast (percent) if u compare with ROM Wizard To BA v2 ?
Thanks
Nice release, Tuatara, can't wait to get home and try it out. WIll do the wiki page too.
I'm using your grea new update but for me the same problems ....
No bt Headest , and no mms.
I've had an hard reset but no cleaning registry ...

Like I said in the post above ... you NEED to clean the Registry (and Format Storage to get the performance increase). If you don't do that, you're running your new ROM on old registry settings, and you end up with something which MAY or MAY NOT work. MMS for example isn't working for you ... other things probably won't as well. Sorry, but it's an excuse to BACKUP everything (not registry!), and then clean out the chaff on your device.
Think about it as if you're upgrading Windows 98 to Windows XP. I can't really think of anything more "evil" ... If you ever did this, you know that you have to pray your machine still boots afterwards.
In other news ... mamaich is HOT on the heels of a BT fix ... PLEASE DO NOT PRESSURE HIM - It will be ready, when it's ready.
Watch this space [ ].
i am having a problem setting the record button to the record function on my sx66. it is consistently the voice speed dial program. i use windows voice command anyhow so i was wondering if you can make the voice speed dial optional unless many people find it absolutely necessary
Camera is installable on "Temp Disk" !!!
For the "cool toys" department ...
mamaich asked me if the additional CAB files could be installed into the "Temp Disk" (RamDisk) instead of into storage, since re-installing those CABs if power is ever lost is trivial. Well, I tried to modify the Arcsoft MMS, and the Midlet Manager - but I was unsuccessful.
However, (comma ... pause for dramatic effect)
The Camera CAN be installed to the Temp Disk, freeing up another 1.5Mb of Storage! This is especially useful for those who don't use MMS, and couldn't care about having Java Midlets running on their device!
Now you CAN have a device with the WHOLE STORAGE SPACE available, including your (now probably miniscule like mine @ 128Kb) EXTROM !!!
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/HTC Camera-TuMa-RamDisk.cab
You CAN install this CAB after uninstalling the original CAB, but you will need to soft reset your device to have the Camera detection & initialization happen properly.
Better yet, you can replace it in your EXTROM (rename the file and/or edit the config file) before doing the TuMa v1.2 upgrade. 8)
Removing Voice Dial ...

It is (or rather was) entirely optional in the ROM, but it appears that on HARD RESET, the Voice Dial software re-installs itself as the default button handler. *sigh*
This will again need to be added to the Wiki (as before KTamas), but at least it's easier for everyone to do now ...
"Record" button is fixedly mapped to Voice Dial
1). Open up "Regedit" and delete the registry entry "LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand"
2). Open up "File Explorer" and delete the "SD Daemon" link from the "/Windows/Startup" Directory
3). Open up "Buttons" (in Settings), and set your "Record" button
4). Return to the "Today Screen", and use psShutXP to Soft-Reset your device.
Presto ... you now have the "Record" button mapped to ... well ... "Record". 8)
Installation Hints ...
For those of you who could possibly still have a shred of patience, I believe it's quite worthwhile to add a little bit of "waiting time" in, when installing this ROM.
When your device resets from the HARD RESET, and the "Windows Mobile" welcome screen comes up and greets you merrily ... wait a little while until the "Blue LED" (on my iMate) stops blinking on the top left (about 15-20 seconds or so).
Only then continue and configure up your device. You'll notice that the alignment cursor, pages, cut & paste selctions, etc. are all 'lightning quick'.
This is because the OS is still booting, starting applications, and building up the registry information in the background.
So, take a little bit of time, and your device will love you for it. 8)
Tuatara
You did it again the ringtone resolve is just great mine rings about half way through the first ring with a converted mp3.
Did some testing with v1.1 yesterday and was happy with that but this looks even more promising..
oh well back to installing tom tom and all the other junk needed for work :lol:
will report back later and let you know how ive got on..
Thanks Again

Ok ... like with EVERYTHING in this ROM, I've left it up to you (the user) to add (i.e. configure) or remove (i.e. delete from /Windows/Startup) any or all of the elements you do or don't want. In this way the ROM is a BASE for anything you wish to do, without having stuff installed which isn't to your liking. (Ok, barring the Speed Dialer issue, but that's also easily resolvable).
To configure up your MMS Account do the following 13 step process:
1). Check that you have "MMS Configuration ..." available in your Outlook Menu. If you don't then something has seriously gone wrong. Did you install the "ArcsoftMMS-TuMa.cab" file through the EXTROM or manually? If not - do so now. MMS is NOT available in the Base ROM.
2). Click it, and just ensure that it comes up and is active. The about should say "MMS Composer Version 3.0.7.11"
3). Click [ok] and close it.
4). Menu -> Tools -> New Account
5). Enter "[email protected]" as your email (doesn't matter what). Click Next.
6). Detect settings ... wait ... Click Next.
7). Enter a username "mms" will do. Click Next.
8). Select "MMS" as the Account Type. Click Next.
9). Incoming Server = "mms", Outgoing Server = "mms". Click Finish.
10). Finally ... click "NO" to not download mail for this account.
11). Now go back to Menu -> "MMS Configuration ..." -> Servers
12). Edit and modify the "Sample Server" to your required settings ... (which I can't help you with)
13). Presto ... you now have an MMS account.
Hope that gets you up and going ...

NOTE: KTamas ... probably another one for the Wiki ...
Ok, it's there..I just assumed it was the same as previous one, in which i did that procedure, but MMS account type wasn't there. Shame on me
Nice work Tuatara

I am having the same problem with downloading. How did you fix it?

Weather PlugIn on HTC Home Page not updating.

The weather plugin is not updating on my tilt. I keep getting "Unable to retrieve data for selected city." Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem?
I've seen that too -- it's failed when connected to two different WiFi networks, so I think the problem is on the server end (accuweather.com, IIRC).
Good to know!
Same here, this morning I couldn't connect. Yesterday it was working fine, but last night I loaded in a new 'power status' application... Good to know it's not something I did!
Same here on my AT&T Tilt since Sunday night.
Mine just started this morning. Accuweather's site is working fine but since I'm not the only one it must not be my phone or connection.
I'm in the process of reading through and trying this fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
The HTC home apps floating around have been modified so that they use a custom city database that spawns your requested city's forecast. This is done via a weather server that's owned not by HTC or accuweather, but by a private person (he's a member on thee forums, N2A).
N2A recently made changes to the way the data is pulled from his server. No longer can it use the modified IP-based hosts entries (which is what it was doing before).
The best way to get weather working again is to install N2A's patched home plugin then add the city to the XML per his instructions.
I used the patched Schen 2.1 HTC Home plugin and it works awesome again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Why are we using his server instead of downloading from accuweather?

This plugin was made by HTC but never really intended to go to US market. The setup between accuweather and HTC only allowed for certain cities, and only a limited number of US cities are in the orignal database. The accuweather data just isn't there for all cities, I've tried following the syntex in the weather XML file and tried adding my home town. It just wouldn't work. So N2A modified the code int he plugin to point to his server. HTC Home Customizer does the same thing, when using the custom db, it redirects the request to N2A's server first.
N2A has made some changes and the old method is no longer working. You have to download one of his recently patched home plugins and enter the city zip code into XML file as instructed.
Ok I deselected my HTC Home in the Today settings and then downloaded "For other devices: UPX compressed" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187.
This is Schen's 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch. After this install I am able to add my custom city with HTC Home Customizer 1.0b without having to edit the XML files.
Just thought I'd share my success.
I had this same problem but that was from installing HTC Home Customizer. After I uninstalled HHC it still did the same thing. I had to hard reset and start from fresf again to get my weather working again. Does anyone using HHC have that same problem or did I do something wrong?
Could the program point to another server???
Could the software point to another server? ie:www.weather.com
www.nws.noaa.gov
www.accuweather.com
weather.yahoo.com
Hello, with the same problem since installing HHC.
ok people, this is an easy fix.
Uninstall prior versions, install the 2.1 version, find the weather XML file in \htchome directory, save the file to your PC, modify the file with the proper cities you want, goto the weather tab, click on the city and pull the new city you just added to the XML file. DONE!
It can be done in 5 minutes or less. This si not the fault of N2A nor the author of HHC. There's just been a change of the way the data is acquired, this was done to help users of certain networks to be able to use HTC Home.
Thank you smittyofdhs,
but "install the 2.1 version", of HHC ? or htc home plugin?

Newb trying to help!
Ok, here's the weather fix that worked for me. I am Currently using Dutty's TouchFlo Hybrid No.2 Final and HHCv.10b5 on my Tilt.
The following info was derived from N2A's post HERE. I just wanted to provide the instance specific fix for as it seems this might be a popular configuration. Hope its a good first post! Again this is what worked for me!
Pre-fix measures: In the HHC program be sure the weather database is set at Default.
Fix:
1) Install sdkcerts.cab to your device. Soft reset. (not sure if you have to reset but thats how i did it)
2)Install KaiserHTCHomeDLL.CAB. (Thanks N2A) This users post can be viewed HERE, This is the user that runs the weather server and has created the fixes. I belive! Much Credit to them.
3)Browse to My Device\WINDOWS\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml. Activesync and Copy this file to Your Desktop Pc. If your having trouble seeing your Windows Directory from your PC start file explorer from your device and browse to the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. Copy the file to My documents on the device then copy the file file to the PC.
4)On the PC, right click the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. Select "Open With" then "Notepad".
5) In Notepad each location will appear as so. <city name="Atlanta, US" loca="NAM|US|GA|ATLANTA " land="United States "/>
6)Copy one of these lines and paste it directly under the original.
7)Edit the new line to reflect Your City like so. <city name="Your City, US" loca="xxxxx" land="United States "/> (xxxxx represents the Zip Code of the city your adding)
You can add more than one city if you choose.
8) Save your changes.
9) Replace the current .xml file in my documents with the one you just edited.
10) From your device, Open Total Commander then open the My Documents folder, browse to the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml and select the "Copy/Move" option. Press the "Tree" button, highlight the Windows folder, press OK then press the "Move" button followed by the "Overwrite" button. Close Total Commander.
11)Select your city by going to the weather tab, and clicking on the area below "Weather". Choose your local town/city from the list.
12) Soft Reset.
Notes: The "US" inside the city name section of the .xml file can be changed to represent your state two letter postal code.
If your not using this configuration or just want more info you can visit N2A's post HERE.
Much thanks to all the pros that make this possible!

[APP]: Config Tool for TitaniumWeather

Application Description:
This tool is designed to easily switch weather locations.
Although Showaco's TitaniumWeather has a list of cities preconfigured some european users find it unconvenient using the built in Configurator since their city might not be present or needs to be specified using the LocCode.
This tool allows you to build you onw preferred places and easily switch between then by selecting the Location in the dropdown.
You can add or remove Locations. When creating a new Location you have to specify the LocCode (you can get the locCode for your city here: http://www.accuweather.com/world-index.asp?partner=netweather) on initial setup. Once you sepcified and saved the item, it will be added to your list and can be easily selected through the dropdown list.
Once a location was changed, you need to run a full update.
The configuration is saved as an XML file, which you can backup and/or restore, giving you an easy way of backing up the configured Locations.
Application Details:
- Name: tWeatherConfig
- Version: 1.0
- Author: Bluenote77
- Supports: Showaco TitaniumWeather
- OS Support: Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5
- Requirements: .NetFramework 3.5
In developing consideration:
- Option to automatically cause TitaniumWeather to run full update once the location is changed
- Option to enter a city name and providing an automated lookup of the LocCode
Fell free to use it and let me know if you have any further suggestions.
I have been using the tool a lot now and it works pretty fine. However, in case you should have any troubles using it let me know.

R [WWE|GER|FRA|ITA|NLD] |July 4| Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯ 6.5|21916 / 6.5.X|29022 * Sense 2021

Welcome to the "EnergyROM" thread !
This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Touch Pro2 (Rhodium) device.
This ROM only works on GSM devices, flashing to a CDMA device will make it non-bootable (flash a stock, or CDMA specific ROM, to recover from that).
I do make a CDMA version (Sprint, Verizon, Altel, etc) and that's found here!
The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs about twice a week, as new builds come down the pipe or as new software/updates are available.
I build my ROMs with four main goals.
Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
Speed !!!
Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
Stability through private beta testing before public release
I pre-configure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.
I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!
Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.
A 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner. This build uses the same stock system that came with your device. This is usually the fastest and most stable build, but it's also the least fancy
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A 29022 Build that's the latest in Microsoft's development with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys, making it all very "finger friendly". These builds reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. Most people choose this build... Why else would you install a custom ROM ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.
It's definitely the fastest way to get in touch with me and please don't be afraid to tweet me if you see major issues with the ROMs.
I generally do not answer "support" questions on Twitter, as it's really not the proper medium for that. Service packs and quick fixes will always be released as links in my tweets and that's definitely the fastest way to get a fix for a ROM.
To follow me on twitter, click here!
This post features all the Cookie Hometab based ROMs I make.
The original ROM is the "energy" version and that's a good starting point. All the rest, are themes applied to that ROM.
They all come in two versions, Cookie 1.8.5 and Cookie 2.0 (the ROM filename will be labeled "Cookie" and "Cookie.2.0, plus the name of the theme)
You can see more screenshots of these ROMs a couple of posts down.
The two Cookie versions look pretty similar, but Cookie 2.0 has multiple sliding homescreens/freely moveable widgets (similar to Android) and
quite a few more features and speed.
My own 'Energy' style
This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !

'Standard' ROMs that have no addons installed on the homescreen. Stock Sense 2.5 !
'Energy'
This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster
This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.
There are no homescreen addon-ons in this ROM. The best speed and the most stock functionality.
'Reference'
This ROM is mostly for people that want a close to stock ROM with the stock visual style. It's also perfect for doing your own customizations.
A lot of the cooked in apps are removed in this ROM, the Start menu back to the stock 3 row style
Sense and everything else is back to the default HTC green.
ROMs mostly created for enthusiasts...
MaxSense UI (android style homescreen)
This is a complete rewrite of the Sense homescreen, by maxycy.
It features a 3 screen, Android style, homescreen with widgets! The widgets can be placed ANYWHERE on the three screens.
75 Quicklink accessible on all tabs
You should really visit the original thread for this mod shown on the next line to see all the features!

Titanium (ROMs for raw speed!)
This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...
ALL my ROMs have Titanium built in already along with Sense, but THIS ROM is Titanium only.

Very fast startup time. You find any startup wizards in this ROM. You'll be up and running in a couple minutes after flashing the ROM.
XDA_UC is built in. It will import your custom XML and REG files from your storage card after first boot.
My own Settings Exporter application is found in the Tools folder. Use it to export all your settings after you customize the device. When a new ROM comes down the line, use it to import everything and save time.
Everything is setup to use the phone right after flashing. Sounds, notifications, etc
The HTC Messaging client is removed, leaving the windows built SMS client for much faster texting...

Now we have a FAQ system. Feel free to PM me with changes/additions to this!
EXTRA: If you installed a ROM using CHT 2.0 and Sense keeps restarting, the solution is here.
NO NEED TO FURTHER COMPLAIN OR REPORT THIS ISSUE!
1 - THE BASICS:
GSM vs. CDMA: This thread and ROMs are for GSM phones ONLY! If your phone is CDMA (Sprint, Verizon, Altel, etc.), CDMA versions of this ROM can be found here. Flashing to a CDMA device will make it non-bootable (flash a stock, or CDMA specific ROM, to recover from that).
How to check if your phone is GMS or CDMA: Look the model number under the battery. RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD210, RHOD300 are GSM. RHOD400 and RHOD500 are CDMA.
Different flavors of the ROM: This ROM is offered in several flavors. Please read the #2 post to better understand each and pick the one you prefer.
The numbering system used on the ROM: The ROMs have different builds, identified by a number such as 216xx or 219xx. To learn more about what the numbers mean, some differences between the builds, and performance benchmarks, check this thread.
ROM Language: Energy ROMs are available in English and a few other languages. The Chef is progressively increasing the language options, based on demand. However, keep in mind that it is unlikely that there will be a version for every single language, so complaining about it won't help.
New versions of the ROM: New versions are posted often. Usually twice a week. There is a changelog in the 3rd or 4th post. However, the Changelog isn’t always up to date. Often the most current changelog is made available first at the Leo (HD2) thread. In order to keep the thread clean, please DO NOT keep asking what is new, or complaining that there is no Changelog. Either wait for one, or flash the ROM and see for yourself.
How to flash the ROM: There is an excellent guide here. Also, make sure to read topic # 4 below ("SUGGESTED SEQUENCE TO INSTALL A NEW ROM"), with a suggested sequence to install things progressively, and help you to pinpoint any issues you may have with a new ROM.
Radio: Radios are separate from the ROM and control the phone's communication hardware. This ROM DOES NOT change your radio, the same way that flashing a new radio does not change your ROM. Radios may work better or worse depending on your service provider and your location. Radios (and discussions about them) are found here.
Battery: This ROM is set for performance, and it is likely it will use more battery. However, after flashing a new ROM, it takes a few charge/discharge cycles for the battery gauge to stabilize, so please refrain from posting comments/complaints about battery life. Some good hints about the battery can be found here.
Carrier Provisioning: There are many different carriers, and some require different provisioning. If you are experiencing issues such as sending/receiving SMS/MMS, or your physical keyboard is not mapped corrected, you MAY need to provision for your carrier. For AT&T and T-Mobile, go to Start > Tools > Carrier Provisioning and select your carrier. For other carriers, go to Start > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks and either select from the drop down menus to edit or click on New to add a new one (you may need to contact your carrier to get the configuration information).
For AT&T, carrier provisioning can be performed automatically through XDA_UC by copying energy_att.cab from \Windows to \Storage Card\XDA_UC.
XDA_UC: EnergyROMs use XDA_UC, which is a tool to automate some of the installation and configuration steps. There is a good thread with XDA_UC hints and tips here.
2 - TWEAKS:
Add-ons: NRGZ made a few add-ons available on his website. To check them, click here.
Settings: The Sense interface has several settings, including the ability to remove tabs or change their sequence. These settings can be found on the last tab, called… Settings! Additional settings can be changed with BsB Tweaks, and Advanced Config, both can be found at Start > Tools.
Screen rotation with keyboard closed : Some applications already have the screen rotation activated by default. In order to activate others, you either go to Start > Tools > BsB Tweaks > Menu > Rotation, or install a program such as ChangeScreen. If you are familiar with editing the Registry, additional applications can be also be added at HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor.
Changing the Time Zone: Go to Start > Settings > Clock & Alarms.
Changing the soft keys on the Home screen: To change the left soft key, use Start > Tools > BsB Tweaks > Menu > Left Manila Softkey. There is no user accessible way to change the right soft key.
Closing or changing the soft keyboard: The builds running Windows Mobile 6.5.3 have a special way of dealing with the soft keyboard. If you tap on the the right side of the keyboard icon, you get the menu which presents you with a choice of soft keyboards. Tap anywhere on the icon to open or close the soft keyboard.
Disabling internet push: Newest versions of EnergyRom have internet push enabled. If you prefer to disable it, the instructions are here.
Notifications: If you are not receiving a notification (such as when you receive a SMS or e-mail), or want to change your notification settings and sounds, go to Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications. Click on the drop down menu to select the event you want to configure. If you want to manage the led notifications, install the cab posted here.
The phone no longer asking about USB connection type when connecting it via USB: Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and check the last box (the one that says “Ask me first…”)
FM radio: Newest versions of EnergyRom were modified to allow the use of FM Radio without headphones. However, the headphones also worked as antenna. So, if you don’t have a strong FM signal in your area, you may not get any station. Some people resolved the problem by plugging the headphone adapter (the rectangular dongle) into the phone, and sticking the stylus into the adapter's headphone jack. This way, the stylus works as an antenna.
Sending MMS with AT&T: Run the Carrier Provisioning at Start > Tools, select ATT 2. The download and install this CAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1271445465 to adjust the maximum size to 600k.
Twitter tab: If you don't flash new ROMs very often, or if you get many tweets in a short period of time, you may want to clean them once in a while as ALL of them get stored on your phone, and this can cause performance issues. To do that, turn off Sense (Start > Settings > Home > Items > uncheck HTC Sense) and then delete the files in \Temp\twiteng\Db. Make sure not to delete any other files in the \Temp\twiteng directory. The other folder stores your log in token file. After doing that, do not forget to turn Sense on again.
SMS "traditional" look: If you don't like the new style of SMS in some of the EnergyROM builds (the "balloons"), you can revert back to the traditional one by installing this cab, ripped from the stock ROM.
Increase the Number of Allowed Recipients in Group SMS: The max number of default contacts to send a group SMS is 10. You can change it to 50 by changing the registry entry
HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\MaxRecipients
Change Windows Mobile SMS Client skin: To change the "skin" used for Windows Mobile SMS Client ONLY please follow the directions in this thread. For example: The Astronaut Manila skin is available as a .CAB and will revert your SMS style back to "default" or "original" style. Additionally, you may choose to further customize your own style by making changes to the CSS (documentation is in the posted thread).
Video Codec suggested settings: If you are copying a video to play on your phone, these are some setting a member successfully tested:
Xvid/Divx compatible (h.263)
File Extension: m4v or mp4
fps: 23.976
Resolution: 800x480 (400x240 for smoothest video)
Video Bitrate: 600-800 kbps
Audio Bitrate 128-192 Stereo
This was tested with AVS Video Converter. Results with other encoders may vary. VBR (variable bitrate encoding) will give better quality if you encoder supports it but will take longer..
Splash Screen: The splash screen is that initial screen that shows when you turn the phone on. Usually it shows "TouchPro2". Some ROMs change the splash screen, but EnergyROMs don't.
If somehow you changed your splash screen by either flashing a different one, or by flashing a different ROM that changed it, and you want to revert back to the original screen, download it from here. To flash, follow the same procedure you would execute when flashing a ROM.
NOTE: Performing Task29 DOES NOT erase your splash screen (or your radio).
Physical keyboard repeat rate: In Settings> Personal> Buttons, there is an "Up/Down Control" tab. There, you can adjust the repeat rate and the delay before repeating for all hardware keys (despite the name "Up/Down Control"). Both are set to the fastest settings on EnergyROMs.
Playing music with screen off: If you want to be able to play music with the screen off to save battery, install this cab. NO LONGER NEEDED AFTER AUG 22, 2010 as the change is already cooked in.
Changing the environment variables, such as default save path for cameras, documents, etc.: To change the default locations, go Start > Tools > Advanced Config> Locations and make the changes you want by either picking the right folder from the drop down menu or by clicking on "browse", and navigating to the folder you want, and then clicking on "Select". Do not forget to press "Done" in order to save your changes.
Increasing the in call volume: If the volume while in call is too low and you already adjusted the volume to the maximum, install this cab, and restart the phone.
Enabling Cingular Video for AT&T users: Apply the cab posted here.
Additional Tips & Tricks: Can be found on this post created by JVH3. It also has his reviews of ROM versions.
3 - SOLUTIONS TO ISSUES:
ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE OVERCLOCKING YOUR PHONE AND EXPERIENCING ANY ISSUES, FIRST OF ALL TEST IT WITHOUT OVERCLOCKING. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING WEIRD ISSUES AND END UP FIGURING OUT THEY WERE BEING CAUSED BY OVERCLOCKING.
Lack of memory to run programs (aka memory leak): If you are running out of memory you may experience correspondent error messages, or find out that some programs are unable to open, or that they suddenly close. Windows Mobile and many applications don't handle memory well, causing your phone to run out of memory to process the applications. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT OF THE ROM, so please DO NOT post complaints, or bug reports about it. A quick solution is either multi-task less, or reboot your phone regularly to "recover" the memory. An excellent analysis with some suggestions was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7005311&postcount=21054
Wrong physical keyboard configuration: If you are using AT&T or T-Mobile, and you are experiencing issues with the physical keyboard key configuration (FN not working, for example), you need to run the Carrier Provisioning that can be found at Start > Tools. Another alternative is to use a key remapper program such as this one.
Wrong or not getting “My Location” (on the Weather tab or Home): Your location is determined according to the cellular towers nearby. Depending on where they are and on the signal strength you are getting, you may see a wrong location. However, not all towers work for this despite the signal strength. Possibly they just don't send the request. Possibly they don't return the result. Some people reported that switching 3G off or off/on helped, but results vary. GPS and the ROM itself have nothing to do with it. An alternative is to add your city by clicking on the clock at the Home screen and then on Add City. The location feature depends heavily on Google's data about location. If Google's servers can't figure out where you are, your "My Location" feature will simply not work.
For people with AT&T: one member successfully fixed the location issue by installing the latest stock AT&T ROM (which updated the Radio and Rilphone) and then flashed the EnergyROM. His location then started to work fine. See his post here. MAY BE similar procedure would work for other carriers, using their correspondent stock ROMs.
ActiveSync unable to synchronize via USB: Some people reported that going to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and disabling 'enable faster data synchronization' worked for them, but results vary. This issue happens more often with Vista/Windows 7.
ActiveSync showing error 0x85010013 on the PC while trying to synchronize, unable to contact Exchange: Try the solution posted here, which was reported to have resolved the issue.
Incorrect unread count (SMS or e-mail): Normally this is caused by a PIM backup that was restored. Two solutions (a procedure and a cab) can be found here. Microsoft My Phone (under Start > Tools) is a better alternative to backup your PIM and other things such as documents, music, pics, etc.
Incorrect unread count (voice mail): Leave another message for yourself, retrieve and delete it. It should resolve the count error.
Phone showing there is a voice message but there is none: This may happen once in a while. To clean it, leave a voice message for yourself, retrieve it, and delete it. This will clean the notification.
Lack of weather updates: Sometimes the default weather server is down for a while and updates fail. An alternative would be to switch to Conflippers weather server, or enter your own in. The Weather City Editor created by JVH3 has that option, and can be found here.
Displaying some non-English fonts: If you installed a non-English font (like Chinese) and is having issues, or if you prefer the old font used (Tahoma) than the new one (Calibri) try this fix by changing this registry entry: HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm =Tahoma or by downloading and installing this CAB. Either way, perform a soft reset afterwards.
Strange characters on Quick Shutdown: If Quick Shutdown (the application that runs when you press and hold the power button) shows strange characters and you have changed your Regional Settings to something other than "English (United States)", then you will have to install a more current version of Quick Shutdown that supports other languages. It can be found here.
Difficulty in getting a GPS satellite lock: You may want to try this solution, which uses aGPS to obtain a faster lock. If you want to automate it using XDA_UC, check this post here.
Call waiting issues: There has been two types of call waiting issues identified:
1- Some people reported that their phones do not get a call waiting beep when they are on the phone and there is another incoming call. If you are experiencing this problem, a solution was posted here.
2- Others report that instead of getting a call waiting tone, the second call causes the first one to drop. In such case, the solution is here.
Garmin not working or freezing: This is caused by Ameba's position fix. Make sure Garmin (My Device/Garmin/que.exe) is in the exception list for position fix (NOT close button exception) or disable position fix. Access the options for this using the X-Button application in the Tools folder.
XML file not working with XDA_UC: Make sure it is in unicode. For details see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...56#post6312056
Opera displaying an error message every time you boot the phone: If every time you power or reset your phone you get an error message such as "You tried to access the address file://localhost/at, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page", and your ROM is 21xxx, this may be due to PushInternet being enabled by default. In order to disable it, install this cab.
Stuck at "Launching HTC Sense...": If you get stuck on this message or if Sense is not loading even though it is checked under Settings > Home > Items, try deleting the folder "Application Data\HTC\databases" on the SD card, if any. Sense will recreate it and it should work fine. If you want an application to do it for you, check this post. NOTE: In the most recent EnergyROMs some changes were made and this folder may no longer exist, what is normal.
Freezes: This post addresses several possible reasons and solutions for freezes. Attention: Overclocking your phone may cause freezes. Test it without overclocking to figure out if OC is the culprit.
Problems with SD card: If your SD card has problems, it may cause the two issues listed above. If you want to check its integrity and fix any issues, please follow the steps on this post.
Wrong SMS Timestamp: If you are receiving text messages (SMS) with the wrong timestamp, what may cause them to be in the wrong order, a solution was posted here.
Unable to add a contact from the dialer: On the Aug 28 ROMs, there is a problem with Sense that prevents adding a contact from the dialer (someone calls you and after the call you want to add that person to your list of contacts). This should not be a problem in the most recent ROMs, but if you experience the problem you can use Pyrorob's fix, which can be found here.
Wrong time: Several people outside of the US reported problems with time after the US changed to/from daylight savings time (aka summer time and winter time). If your clock is one hour (or more) ahead or behind, do not use "get carrier time" and disable "automatic change time zone and clock" in personal -> phone settings.
Non-Transparent Contact Background: In some of the recent ROMs the Contact page has some reddish background that makes it difficult to read. The solution (a cab) to make it transparent can be found here.
4 - SUGGESTED SEQUENCE TO INSTALL A NEW ROM:
When flashing a new ROM for the first time, first disable XDA_UC or anything else that automatically installs or configures the ROM. Simply do the carrier selection when it comes up.
Download new ROM
Disable XDA_UC and the like
Perform Task29 on the phone
Enter Bootloader
Flash the new ROM
Select carrier
Do some basic testing
Set up some basic stuff manually
Do some testing
If all goes well, and you want to ensure XDA_UC is working fine, you can then re-enable XDA_UC and then Task29 and flash again. If you then seem some odd stuff (like Sense not even loading) you can start to troubleshoot your XDA_UC stuff.
Also, be careful with what other programs such as SPB Backup, PIM Backup, CHT import, Sashimi, etc. restore, as sometimes things don't translate well from one ROM to another.
5 - HOW TO POST A QUESTION ON THE THREAD:
First and foremost, read at minimum the last 2-3 days of posts on the thread to make sure the question was not already answered. If that does not help, then use the search feature of the thread. If nothing is found, then post your question to get help. In the majority of the situations, someone already experienced the problem and a solution was already posted.
In order to get help from other XDA members, when posting a question please make sure to include at minimum:
The ROM you have (Sense 2.1 or 2.5, build, date)
The device you have (there are variants of the Rhodium)
The Radio you have
Your location
Your service provider
The steps you took to get to the problem so we could try to reproduce it
If you tested it with a bare ROM to confirm it is not something you installed/restored
Any pictures showing the screens affected (if applicable)
6 - HOW TO REPORT A BUG:
If you believe you found a bug on the ROM, please report it by sending a Private Message to me, and I will compile a list to be sent to the Chef.
Please make sure to include the items listed above on #5, plus any potential solutions you may have identified.
ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE OVERCLOCKING YOUR PHONE AND EXPERIENCING ANY ISSUES, FIRST OF ALL TEST IT WITHOUT OVERCLOCKING. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING WEIRD ISSUES AND END UP FIGURING OUT THEY WERE BEING CAUSED BY OVERCLOCKING.
XDA_UC FAQ
​
The XDA_UC cooked in my ROMs is modified from the stock XDA_UC made by Noonski. Great addon, by the way... Noonski did a great job with this !
The version in my ROMs is trimmed down to fit the needs of my ROM series.
Some of the extra features are:
It will copy shortcuts (.lnk files) found in \XDA_UC\Start Menu\ to the device's start menu folder (\windows\Start Menu) in the hierarchy that it finds on the storage card. For example: Let's say you have a navigation package on the storage card, like Navigon. If you make a shortcut to the navigon.exe file as Navigon.lnk and copy it to \XDA_UC\Start Menu\GPS\ as "Navigon.lnk" then on a fresh ROM install it will copy any shortcuts it finds there to the same location on the device, so it'll end up in \Windows\Start Menu\GPS\. This works for other folders on the Start Menu as well. Just put the shortcuts in \xda_uc\Start Menu\ in the folders you will like the shortcuts to appear to, on the device.
It will copy a custom splash screen from \Storage Card\XDA_UC\welcomehead.192.png to \windows automatically and overwrite the one in the ROM.
It will copy a custom Sense background found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\wallpaper_sense.png to the device and set that wallpaper as default in Sense. So rename your wallpaper as "wallpaper_sense.png" and drop it in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\ and on the next ROM flash that wallpaper will become your wallpaper in Sense.
Other than that XDA_UC works as designed by Noonski and it will do the following things:
It will automatically import your PPCbackup (*.pib) file found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will install custom XDAS scripts found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently install CAB files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will install special CAB files that require user input (such as Agreements or any type of prompt) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD
It will silently import REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently install REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter, as exported by my own Settings Exporter, ONLY if the "automatic" file is also present in that folder (and it most cases it should be, enable that option in the Settings Export application's menu)
It will silently import XML files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently import CER files (usually Exchange certificates) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently run custom MSCR files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
That's it, but don't forget to checkout the Addons folder and look in the XDA_UC section for tips and tutorials on how to export your email/wifi settings and various little .reg and tweaks you can add to your XDA_UC collection.
As always don't forget to check what installs automatically before reporting a problem with the ROM. Most of the time, if you notice you have a problem that nobody else is experience is because one of the cabs you dropped in the XDA_UC folder is installing automatically while you don't even think about it.

Ok ive set that and ill see how it goes.
To get around the Manila mail been slooooow ive now copied the tmailsms.lnk from the windows dir and placed it in the start menu, programes folder. I then went into the properties and unticked hidden and system and ticked read only (had to do this because it was getting deleted everytime i soft reset). I also renamed it just to "Mail". Now i can set it to one of the quick link tabs on the home screen.

Don't you guys have a job or something? I'm eagerly awaiting the new rom as well, but I've only had the time to watch for a new one since 10 hours ago.
I would assume any time that takes longer than normal would end up being a full update because when he just tweaks and adds packages its usually done daily so think of it that way the longer you wait the better the new rom must be because it takes longer to cook in a new version of manila or 6.5 than it does just to tweak and add updated packages. So wait in anticipation of somthing great when it takes a while. And let the man breath, please I fix phones and computers and run a video store and working for other peoople is gratifying but hard and tireless work so let the man relax.
New ROM comin soon!!!

Latest Tp2 EXT Packages! Updated 6/24/10

Please check this link as this thread is no longer the most updated at all times (it will be updated just not as often as this one->)
Click here for most updated at MobileUnderground
***Edit***
As to not want speculation and rumors the reason is because I am on there more than xda because its easier for me to get the packages, work with them, talk to the guys I need to for fixes and upload. This has nothing to do with anything but convenience for me. This thread on xda will be updated 1 time a week where the one at MU will be updated as the packages arise.
So to be absolutely clear: The reason for this is because its more convenient for me. Thats it.

What is an EXT?
As someone once explained to me and ironically enough I saw it again in the oskitchen zero thread, an EXT package is not actually real, its actually just how the kitchen interprets program versions installed in the rom, and the dependencies and registry entries etc, and spits them out so you can mess with them, okay so I am leaving alot out but you get the idea.
The LowDown
I want you to keep in mind that this is not perfect. I am afterall a human being but I will do my best to test each package before I throw it up and if there are issues what it needs to be fixed. Also I NEED YOUR HELP, see a newer version of a package seen here? POST IT, also tell me where I can get that package, it can be in CAB or EXT form. What I will do here is try to keep the latest versions of base sys packages for the rhodium updated. And also provide you a download location, so instead of having to search all over the place you can just come to a one stop shop.

MobileUnderground Thanks to OS
If someone could through some mirrors up thatd be great. I dont do this for donations, if you really feel the need then donate to your fav cook.
For latest packages check Leo 3.01 and 1.80 (SKT so you need to get 0409 from the 3.01 and hope, they are fully compatible).
Here it is on rapidshere:
Packages_HTC_Rhodium.7z
My fault, there are even newer from Huashan (not usable Manila though since it is OMAP) and HTC Oboe (concerning only WVGA devices)
Thanks os old buddy I'll get it updated by days end. Looks like most packages will convert fine. And the Manila from the other one is too bad. Thanks for the rs mirror as well. My plan is that this will make it easier for newbies to get comfortable. Os did I ever thank u for teaching me as a newb? No? Well thanks buddy
Hehe

hey guys wanted to explain that the only reason I havent thrown these packages up (the new ones) is because I have been haveing major issues getting some of them to work I think I have gotten the right combination of them now, just gotta figure out why the messaging isnt working (messaging doesnt want to send the texts and really quirky) Even still ill upload them tonight.
Updated with 2015/2016 packages!
**EDIT**
Added testrom running those packages. (The phone canvas is fixed if you download the two packages phonecanvas & video telephony and put them into the exfolder make sure to remove Phone Canvas and Video Telephony that are there.
Can't we stickie this
Hey is there a mirror for the 2015/2016 packages? The filefront link isn't working.
I just tested it, and it is working. enable popups cause it comes up on top of your screen
Yeah, I like filefront for a number of reasons mainly there really isnt a waiting time, and the downloads are pretty fast. Again if anyone would like to mirror please do so. Or even if someone would like to repackage the latest ext I have in a 7z that doesnt require 1.5GB of memory to uncompress (Had to as my upload speed takes forever so extreme compression was necessary). Also For those of u haveing issues please make sure to recmod notification enhancement or u wont boot, also Config AP isnt needed and causes an error about not finding the copilot cab if u dont remove it from the config text file.
aestivalisakito,
I just wanted to say thank you for adjusting these to work with the 21xxx builds, Do you happen to know if these packages not adjusted only work with the 23xxx builds or do you think that 23xxx's the min? Very interested in the HTC Messaging Client as I saw some reg entries that peaked my curiosity which I think HTC might have fixed the msg lag completely but not 100% sure, and I hope they fixed the Secure Box bug possibly in the 3.01 rom (Or it might be OS Build related).
Thank you again highly!
Standard Cooker (Still Learning alot)

It still doesn't work. Basically, I click on the link in this thread. Then when I get to filefront I click on the download button. It takes me to the download page where my browser says "waiting for 205.196.121.183" then it says done and nothing happens. Then, if I right click and save as the "click here" it gives me a "COMPLETE.7z" file with 0 bytes.

Just downloaded from filefront, works fine, check your AV program suite could be blocking it.

Still nothing. The other two filefront links works fine, but this one doesn't for some reason.
Is it possible to have Ext Packs 2015 uploaded with winRar, cause I have a "system memory allocation" problem with 7Z, strange cause the other works perfect
Thanks
