All,
All, I've tried searching for this.... No luck.
I'm out on the road and my wife and I both use AT&T Tilts, stock WM 6.1 ROM, mine with no bloatware, hers with the bloatware. Mine is heavily customized from many tweaks from the great minds on this forum, her's with the exception of Kaiser Tweak and the Camera Upgrade has backgrounds from Microsoft which is about the extent of her customization skills and desires. So, whose phone do you think is giving us problems?
Today my wife calls and says that in landscape mode, she has no letters on any menus, and the titles to tabs are gone. I walked her through Kaiser Tweak (installed on both phones) to make sure Clear Type is enabled and to double check all the settings that might effect the menus or tabs in the setting screens. Autofill is also blank even though she has the 6 words selected through Kaiser Tweak. We did soft resets after each time we adjusted Kaiser Tweak to try to get some usefulness in landscape mode back. No luck.
My Tilt is fine. Hers is basically useless in landscape mode. If we can't get a solution form XDA, I'll just hard reset the stock AT&T ROM again, this time with NO bloatware and reinstall some of the more cool software folks from here provide that she might like.
We've got a way out if need be, but not until after I get home on Saturday next week, so if anybody has an idea of what we can do besides a hard reset, that I can talk her through, I'm all ears. Heck, I'll talk her through a hard reset before then, but if we can get out of this with out the hard reset, I think she'll be happier. She likes her phone the way it is....
Thanks!
Jim
Disable Cleartype?
I'm pretty sure that with the 6.1 ROM, you have to disable cleartype in landscape in KaiserTweak. I am also pretty sure that you are not the only person to have this problem, and that something about the 6.1 ROM doesn't allow cleartype in landscape. Just disable cleartype in landscape in kaisertweak and see if that makes a difference.
Dave
That would be correct, disabling cleartype will definitely solve the problem.

Main point of all this is: What theme are you cube users using and where can I get it?
Story:
So I have a tilt and was really excited to get the cube working on it. I got all the necessary cabs and what not from duttythroy ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336482 ). The home plug in was working everything was there and I was so happy. The only thing missing (since I am using the stock att rom) was the htc grey/black theme to match the cube. So I found this one on google ( http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-black-wm6-theme.html ). Looks good right? Well after installing, that is where everything went wrong...
Now my tilt keeps freaking out by constantly flashing boxes. It looks like they are minimizing boxes starting from the entire screen and then into the middle. It also seems like its randomly clicking things when it sometimes does this too. I thought maybe it was the touchflo cube stuff so I deleted that all. Still does. Deleted the theme. Still did not fix the problem. It does the box/freaking out thing even more when i play with the wheel on the side.
I want to say it was the theme but I have no idea. I am going to hard reset the device anyway to get all the bloatware off so if the solution isnt found its not a big deal. I am just wondering what all you cube users are using for your theme and if you could point me in the right direction to it.
I have Dutty's ROM and when I enabled "animate windows" it did the exact thing that your talking about. It was in "advanced settings" I believe, but that might only apply to the ROM I have, it's probably a registry setting.
GENIUS
You are a GENIUS my friend. After disabling window animation in kaiser tweak and after a soft reset the weird box thing problem goes away! Thank you so much. You just made my day... I would have never figured it out
So I recently flashed my ROM and everything is working just fine except I'm having one problem.
I don't know but when I'm in Landscape mode, a lot of my text turn invisible or the same color as the white background, so I can't read anything I'm typing in IE, Contacts Search, and some tabs don't show any text. I tried searching and couldn't find a fix, I was hoping White Screen was the same problem I had, but it seems do be different, if I can get a little bit of help it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Did you flashed any other ROM made available here?
I flashed it through I believe Kaiser Diamond V2, I'm just going to it over again, then I'll leave an update.
I think I saw something about that ROM (or perhaps it was the first version?) that had that kind of problem...
Leo's V3 seems to be much better...
I'm downloading that right now...
Ahh I see, I didn't notice there was a V3, and it clearly says it fixed the text missing in landscape. Thanks for the help, the Wiki didn't have that version!
I got a similar problem with the official 6.1 update. The cause was cleartype activated in landscape mode. Once it's deactivated, it works well. But if you know a tip to have cleartype AND the text correctly displayed, it'll be great
Bump: I would also love to see this working again.
I have the Official HTC WM6.1 for Australian TyTN II's and if Cleartype is enabled in Landscape much of the text is not displayed (especially on menus).
Any Ideas?
I have searched and searched, so far all that have the same issue as myself have not had an answer that works. I am bringing this to a new thread, in the hopes it will trigger some ideas on how to fix this.
I do know how to use the search system. I am usually a lurker, having the Diamond (NOT Pro) for a little over a week.
I have tried a number of different things to try to STOP the screen from waking up on a new text message. I have tried everything except the older version 3.2.. of the advanced config utility (I am reluctant to downgrade to older version as I have changed many things and have noticed that if you switch from one config utility from another will not work the same way, example is with TF3dconfig I removed the weather tab and forgot to reset all when I uninstalled it for the 3.3 version of advanced config. I try to re-activate the weather tab in 3.3 and it will not take-alas, another issue for another day). I have a Sprint version of the diamond. The DisableSMSWakeUpEvent does not work on my sprint diamond. It does not show up in the registry and when I create it, it still does nothing. This seems like such a silly thing to not have the option of adjusting in the oem configuration. The Pro has it, why not the non-pro version.
Many thanks for anyone that has a suggestion on how to get this screen to STAY OFF when a text comes in. Perhaps even a lock on incoming text that will be unlocked by the light sensor.
I have also discovered that TF3D does not like gsensor rotation. I wanted the text message to be landscape. Tried Gyrator 2, could not get it to reliably not rotate when a call is active. Tried changescreen, great easy to use, but TF3D overrides this. It works the first time or two, then the TF3D changes it to portrait. I did find that adding a rotate command to a registry entry (found in the forum) then assigned the 'green' phone button long hold to rotate. Works well and is easy as sometimes I do not want it to rotate.
Sorry for the run on, many thanks in advance for the help and insight.

A bump to see if anyone has a solution, many thanks for taking a look.
That this next question can result in my death here on XDA, but I might as well ask it.
So I want to flash my rom, and so far I've read through all the steps and am almost ready, but I'm worried that if I do so, what will I lose on AT&T's network?
Do I have to get medianet back? And myisp? What do I have to do once I've flashed and everything?

The only thing you will lose is all the AT$T bloatware. Most of te custom roms all have auto config and will configure AT$T settings and Media net upon start up . I have a Tilt and never have to reset connection settings after flash, unless you are using some obscure rom from a chef in Siberia.
Josh, shifu,TPC ,Pheonix, Sakajati, Solace, b16b,abusalza ,Athine,ai6908,...etc, all have auto config.
Haha, alright man, thanks for the answer and not killing me.
Ok, new question. I've just literally spent the last 5 hours searching through XDA's forums looking for a mod with a few specifications, but have not found one.
I want Windows Mobile 6.1.
I DO NOT want Manilla 2D (I like landscape mode, and no Manilla 2D landscape hack works good).
I want Omnia/D3D Driver.
I want Opera (any version) w/ Flash lite 3.1.
I want it to be slightly modified with a black screen (a little more touch friendly).
Finally I want a good amount of RAM and Storage. Anything more than what AT&T's TyTN II give's me is fine.
So from any veterans out there, are there any suggestions? I'm not asking for the best ROM since I know that'll never be answered, but I need a ROM with all those specifications. There's no way I'm downgrading to AT&T's sad excuse for a ROM.
Seriously, I'm not tryin to be a lazy-ass, I've spent forever looking. Me being a newb/noob I can't tell if Lite versions or Naked versions are better.
Half the things you're looking for can be added by you. So that cuts it's down to finding a rom without manila. Mostly
...Mostly what?
Oh the suspense.
Alright then, just two specifications.
1. A finger-friendly WMO 6.1 ROM WITHOUT Manilla (I like my landscape).
2. Has the 3D hardware drivers.
There's probably many ROMs like that, but it seems all I can find are M2D or WMO 6.5. Not asking for the best, just what are some ROMs that you know of that has those two specs?
Quick message to the mods. All questions answered here (or in other threads). Thread can be closed/deleted.
Big thanks to denco.
i think you haven't used manila2d...
you should know:
1. ROMs that include manila2d don't FORCE you to use manila2d...you can just disable it and use any other today/home screen plugin that you like
2. the manila2d "landscape bug" affects manila2d ONLY. what i mean to say is that ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS will run perfectly fine in landscape mode with manila2d DISABLED. moreover, ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS will work perfectly fine in landscape mode with manila2d ENABLED, with the caveat that the device will switch to portrait the moment you return to the today/home screen where manila2d runs.
i recommend getting the APRIL 10th, 2009 Hyperdragon ROM by SAKAJATI (www.sakajati.com). it has the omnia d3d drivers, it is VERY stable, it is winmo6.1, it comes with manila2d (which you can simply disable), and it is a medium loaded ROM (i.e. not too many applications preinstalled and not very bare bones either). my signature says i am using it but actually i am not because i am exploring winmo6.5 these days but if i ever go back to winmo6.1, it would be the ROM i mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph.
Alright, one last quick question anybody. I just flashed, everything seems to be working OK. But I have a different radio. If I switch radios to the one the ROM tells me I need, will I still have AT&T's service (last noob question guys, I swear)?
I don't really understand what switching radios does besides making sure cameras/texting/phone calls all work (which is most definitely needed). But will I lose service with AT&T?
So now I've flashed and everything's worked. I guess taking a deepbreath and just going at it's the best way to approach flashing.
Any senior members mind linking me to the M2D Landscape thread? I know there was one with the two M2D Landscape projects, but I've lost it now.
And once again, for real for real this time mods, lock and end this thread.
Hi everybody, I recently got a Diamond2 and found that the enormous amount of expertise and help available at xda-developers have really helped me enjoy this phone. The phone is not locally supported by any carriers or retailers in Canada so the availability of these forums have been a real help. I've run through most of the issues I've had with the phone (really like the Pro2 Interface better but was way to bulky) but have a few remaining that I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers for, hope you guys will be able to help.
I've downloaded and played around with what seem to be most of the prerequisite softwares: Advanced Config Tool, Klaxon, Changescreen etc. and have also made a couple of registry modifications to enable TF3D rotation and things like that. Here is where I'm getting into a bit of trouble. Although changescreen is a great app I just don't like to install a lot of things on my device and decided to try the regedit. After a soft reset it seemed to work great but was quite slow in switching over to landscape and back. At first I though this was a problem with the g-sensor so I opened up Opera to try it out and found that it was much faster. Obviously it's a lot less graphically intense but I was playing around with a Touch Pro2 before I bought the Diamond2 and it is also significantly faster, with the same processor and everything. I've tried to reduce the sampling time for the g-sensor down from 200ms to 100ms in ACT but that didn't really seem to help. Also I get some really weird lines across the tops of TF3D pages in landscape; in the All Contacts page for example the bar that contains "Search Contacts" will have at least three sets of distorted lines across it at regular intervals across the page. The wallpaper also seems to malfunction as instead of staying as it was, it will stretch across the width of the screen and as a result become extremely distorted. The dialer doesn't go into landscape but that seems to be a common issue. I've downloaded the Rhodium Phone Dialer although I haven't had a chance to install it yet, maybe that will fix the dialer issue.
I do have some app installed that changes the background of all tabs to be the same and this seems to have messed with the transparency of the tab bar and, occasionally the phone will fail to respond to screen swipes that would usually cycle through the tabs without using the tab bar. Maybe this app is also causing the other problems.
The help on these forums has already been a great asset and I was just hoping that I would be able to get some simple fixes for the issues with the landscape thing without having to install more software. Thanks in advance for any help, its all appreciated. Cheers.
PS, rom is 1.39.421.0 (47382) WWE
what you can do to improve things:
1. ditch stock rom and use tess rom
2. install flipit for rotation software - its better than the rest IMO
Thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry I wasn't able to reply right away, got a bit busy at uni.
I was a bit apprehensive about installing a new rom but the one you recommended is amazing. The speed increase alone is unbelievable, doesn't even feel like the same device.
Everything is working great and the rotation is really fast now on everything except TF3D. It almost looks like it attempts to rotate and then fails. The title bars rotate around and then rotate back. I've added the regedit, manually removed and added it back into flip_it, but nothing seems to be working. Aside from that everything else seems perfect. Hope you'll be able to help, and once again, thanks.
oh yeah.. forgot to mention about manila in landscape
go to search and look for At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak cab for topaz
install, and in the list of programs, there is option called Manila Rotate ON.
and thats it, you are all set...
hope this helps

Can I ask where to read and get this rom?
I am also new to Topaz.
Running on stock ROM
been reading around. reading on the various rom threads to decide which to use.
I am looking for something stable, fast (aren't we all?) and 6.1. Still got Manila and hopefully with Titanium built in. Also if possible with ringtones removed.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

Almost there
Thanks for the tip about the tweak program, installed it and followed your directions, manila is now rotating. However, its still incredibly slow; in the range of 3-5 seconds for transition to landscape and then around 1-2 seconds back to portrait. Also, those distortive lines I described earlier are back.
I was hoping for the kind of speed seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPVgN5QuzO4 but I do realize that its a different rom. I've disabled and enabled TF3D and also done a soft reset, but no speed increase. I was thinking it may be a hardware issue but everything else works fine. One thing I have noticed though is that since installing this rom some programs get stuck half rotated and the other half of the screen will display the TF3D home page. Once again, thanks for all the help so far.
P.S. If I disable TF3D the blank today screen will rotate at the same speed as in that video if not faster. Also before when the menus rotated but not TF3D they were rotating at the same fast speed.
yes, I know what you mean.. at this stage, manila rotates pretty slow for me too...
I guess at the moment, we have to live with it... the slow rotation only happens on tf3d2 rite? the rest is ok...
as with hardware issue, I am sure it is not, cause topaz is still relatively new...
btw, Manila 2.1 is around, and manila 2.5 is coming too... so, maybe they would give better performance .
btw, the youtube link is a rom made by Tom Condon, and as you probably know, he is very active in building rom for topaz too... why dont you give him a message, or try his rom...
Tha
sorry double post again..
Sounds good
Glad to know that it wasn't just a one off issue. I'll give his rom a shot, was kind of wary b/c of the comments that said WM 6.5 was slow. Would you be able to direct me to somewhere that I'd be able to download TF3D 2.1 alone without a rom upgrade or anything or maybe even cooked into the TESS rom. Thanks for the incredible quick reply and for all the help so far.

Ye, sorry about that didn't quite follow the forum all the way, I guess I'll be waiting. Thanks man.
