I cant find a rom that has a touch flow cube. I want the black diamond rom for my wizard to work with herald. I love that rom!!
There are many ROMs here. Usually the ones that aren't labeled "lite" "slim" or "clean" have the cube but the cube has to enabled.
cube
ive tried several roms and I got one that lete enable the cube, but I dont know how to invoke it. On my wizard i invoked it by setting it to a button. Im lost.
The WM6.1 ROM's don't have it.... :-/
well i don't know, i do kinda use it a llllot with the WM6 ROM's...
You have to set it up. You can set it to use a button or a gesture. I find it utterly useless, so I'm not the expert on it.
I didn't flash one yet... I was just assuming since the 3 here all said Touch Flo No Cube...hmm...maybe I won't miss the cube after all!!
I mostly use it for the photo dialer.. haha... i have like 18 "faves" now
Oh...ttran released Open Touch v3.0 Biggy has a cube..i think..
how interesting..........
Touch-It 4.41, which is better, has a Cube.
Worked for me and most everyone else whose tried it. Apparently the problem is his and not the software's.

thats strange, for my wing, when i go into the settings, it just has a half a box, and i cant click it.... i think it may have to do with that x button cab i had to install.

If you installed that X Button FIX then yeah it creates a useless Icon in the programs called TF Settings.
That IS THE SOLUTION! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GET THE HELL RID OF IT!
This has been said several time now in the forums!

Well you know the cube makes your Device SOOOOOO Sloww!!
And you allready have a applaucher in the HTC Home Plug so why cube ?
well... it doesnt seem to slow down my phone.. i also have the sprint home plug-in. i like having the 2nd app launcher and photodialer.. and sometimes way more faster than going back to the today screen and having to focus on which tab, then which shortcut to push. with the cube..i could be using whatever program i'm on..then with only 1 or 2 finger gestures, i'd be at the dialer or app launcher.windows mobile apps are known to run differently on same model phone and everybody has different tastes.. just cause i liked it doesnt mean you have to also.. and really, it didn't slow down performance for me... but activesync startig up in the background, hat slows mine down!
Hey, I was looking at the other threads about this and I searched on google, but no one was really responding to the posts, but has anyone found a fix for the comm manager randomly opening when you slide the keyboard, or look at a text message?
I am using:
Rom 5.2.19199 (im going to upgrade tonight, but i have read that this bug still appears in the newer one.)
Radio 1.64.06.04
Thanks
Did you make sure Comm Manager was closed properly and not just minimized after its last use? It sometimes "pops up" for me after closing other programs, but then I just remember to actually close it.
yeah im pretty sure, i mean, its not listed in the task manager or anything. It usually opens up under the messaging program when i hit the notification button on the today screen, and then type a message with the keyboard and then close out of messaging. (if that makes sense)
I'm seeing this too when closing the Opera pre-alpha and sometimes when closing Messaging. Using Dutty's WM6.1 RTM.
i'm seeing the same thing too on an i760. task manager doesnt see it as being minimized.
In the Dutty 6.1 ROM Thread The Bug has been discussed. Here's how you can make it happen.
1. Open just about any program.
2. Slide Out Your Keyboard.
3. Close Your Keyboard
4. Close your Program of choice.
5. Marvel in the wonders of Random Comm Manager

You didn't say what ROM you were using. I'm curious as to if its a WM 6.1 Thing.

I too believe this is the work of underwear gnomes...
This has something to do with FTouchFlo, I believe. I have the same ROM running and I used to have that happen to me all the time. After I installed SPB Mobile Shell 2 and stopped using TouchFlo and the cube as a test, I've never had it happen again.
Though underwear gnomes are just as reasonable an explanation.

Speak of the devil. As soon as I posted this, I sent an email and the dang Comm Manager popped up. My initial hypothesis appears to have been erroneous. Apologies.
Yep, I have it too but just never posted about it. Rom info in my sig.

Hi,
Just to report that I've tryed many times, with differet aplications, with and without Ftouch and just never have this proble... (running Dutty's 6.1 19199)
cheers
This issue is already being talked about.... but we still don't have an answer or fix.
Here's a link to my thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1958220
I've also already PM'd dutty about it, and a few other people to see if anyones working on a fix for it but I havent heard anything back. It is terribly annoying.
I've tried re-installing the comm manager, installing different comm managers... and i've tried performing a few registry hacks, but it still does it.
The comm manager usually ONLY opens randomly, once you have launched the comm manager at one point or another. So if you never open the comm manager after you have soft reset, you shouldnt see it. However, if you open it... then close it, it will randomly appear.
It looks as if the comm manager is running in the background somehow, and CLICKING THE "X" doesnt fully close it, it just hides it. The comm manager also does not appear in the task manager windows or running program list in the memory. Weird huh?
This is happening to both my girlfriend and myself on both of our tilts...
Here is what we are working with:
Rom: Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19716 UC
Radio: Polar 1.58.25.14
To re-create the problem, just do this:
1st: open any program... (phone app, PIE, whatever...)
2nd: slide out keyboard
3rd: slide back in keyboard
4th: close opened program
And the comm manager will open back up.....
I use QuickMenu as my task manager and Comm Manager shows up in there like any other app. Closing it from the task menu stops it from popping up.

This isn't just isolated to Dutty's ROM apparently a couple people on the CUSTEL ROM are also having this. I wonder if they both started from the same base WM 6.1
Its not a WM6.1 thing as im using an original tmobile WM6 rom.
Rom 1.56.110.4
Radio 1.27.12.11
I also get this problem.
Well there goes my theory.
Can someone who actually has this problem say whether closing the Comm Manager through QuickMenu fixes things or not? I'm still pretty confident that it's just Comm Manager not closing properly and not showing up in other task managers.
Quentin's ROM; Q-Mobile 1.1 had this issue too.
In his newest ROM Q-Mobile 1.2 (WM6 ROM) he solved this issue.
If you are looking for a solution or fix, try to contact Quentin. Maybe he can help you.
BTW, his Q-Mobile 1.2 ROM is awesome. I'm running it for months already. It's fast and very stable.

Just tested that.. Yup if you Open Comm Manager and "close it" HTC End task Doesn't see it but Quick Menu does. If it is visable in Quick Menu It will pop up. Killing it Via Quick Menu and doing the same steps that brought it up before, it does not show up.
So Comm Manager isn't closing all the way. Which in itself it not a bad thing if it wouldn't pop up on Sliding out the Keyboard. Maybe... If its hiding in the back ground and you slid out your keyboard, since it switches to landscape mode Comm Manager is responding to that command switching to Landscape and forgot that it was "hidden." So If it could stay "hidden" during the switch from Portrait to Landscape and Back this problem would not exist.
commanager
i have a tilt with wm6 (2nd release) not wm61. i also have this annoying problem.
i noticed this after i installed poorly duck vista commanager. i don't remember if it was after the rom upgrade, though. please find a fix.

here is link
all buttons working (red button .......)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/8ger2y
and here is video of rom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozY9aKAMy58
scroll down for screenshots
My observations:
+ damn fast
- red/power button doesn't wors as power-down button and phone toggle
- no wireless/comm manager
- some bitmaps doesn't look very well (not a big problem)
- strange names in Buttons settings
- no palm messaging (but maybe it's jus me)
At the moment I'm going back to 6.1 with palm oems, but I do really cross fingers for you and your rom. If you'll put new version soon, I'm getting it! Great work!

thx to u next version will be faster then this (i belive)
i need port original applications form palm wm5 to more usable on this palm
1-2 days for it
i dont like palm messaging
original is better for me
I used default messaging for a long time (so called "lite" version of 6.1)
The biggest problem for me is comm manager and power button. Accidentialy I flashed again to your rom so I'll stick with this one now, try to configure it for my needs (it's just question of few apps to cure most of "problems").
Can't wait to see next version.
Best regards.

haven't tried the clean version, but on the new palm version, the soft menu is the old version and links like phone settings or today settings dont work. *have to use start menu*
also not able to connect to an exchange server. link to set it up in activesync seems to be dead.
red button, and wireless manager seem to work.
will check out the clean version as well.
edit: reset the phone. activesync, email, and exchange all work.
soft key bar still isn't like your first update *i assume it changed in 6.5, and this is the old version* and phone and today settings links in soft menu are still broken.
edit#2: seems the email account isn't listed in the accounts settings window. also at least one keyboard shortcut didn't work (whitebutton + P for brightness settings) i assume this has to do with the "weird" names programs have listed under buttons.
i want to update to 6.5 but is it possible to go back to orignal at&t oem rom afterward to will there be some problem....???????

thx for test i repair it today
Just downloaded your rom, will let you know the details soon
Ok here is the review of this rom, the one with palm oem applications and commmanager,
Pros:
Fast and stable
Volume is better compare to 6.1
It has inbuilt mass storage driver which 6.1 lack
Shortcut are sorted in appropriate folders in start menu
Black Theme is default, which is very good
Display is better compare to 6.1
There are 2 flavour of Wmplayer
Comm Manager is now full functional
And More............
Cons:
Instead of green light to show the network now its showing orange,
Vibrate is not working
There is slight jerk in display while changing screen from one program to another
There is no Call screen, Mean when you are answering a call or had dialed a call you want be able to see the duration of the call.
Hi there, thank you very much for your great work. I have a quick question: My Treo has a German (QWERTZ) keyboard, will it be detected somehow?, or the ROM will asume its a QWERTY keyboard. I don't mind the OS being in English, that would even be better, is there a quick way to patch the ROM to make it work with the QWERTZ keyboard?
Thank you so much in advance.
About in call screen. It's all around ActiveCall and DialLookup plugins. Maybe changing some registry values will fix it (I had similar situations once and editing some registry solved my problems). Tomorrow I'll compare some of my keyes with working wm6.
-If your syncing to an Exchange server, the Manage Folders function does not work to be able to select addition folders.
-blank HTCSETTINGS icon under System.. appears to do nothing
- 2 PHONE apps under Personal settings. Different functions, but named the same
- There is something off with trying to go into Messages from the Today screen. Takes a few clicks to actually make it work. It doesn't do it everytime.
That's all I found for the moment.. obviously WLAN option does nothing on mine
I've noticed one more thing: there's no "white dot" indicating text input with active function key. It's a bit tricky when you try to type password and you don't see what you write...
But in general it works very well. But installing "hidelogo" caused reset loop and I had to hard-reset.
Great work!
EDIT:
Change HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/"Dial Lookup"/Type from 4 to 6 <- it will fix active-call-screen-problem Works for me.
i build new version today with all palm applications and battery test show me 14days
it is quickly then last version i upload it soon
it need some small fixes

Hi All..
Can you share which one do you prefer?
Touch-IT 5.05 RC2 (OR) Touch-IT 21202 WM6.5 RC1 ?
wat a good question u asked ther. for me, really really hard to decide.
wm6.5 got nice n smooth interface but cant get touch hd camera driver n all rhodium nice stuff.
wm6.1 v5.04 got all nice stuff n nice to cope with daily usage which mean more practical usage everyday.
in da end, i still choose wm6.1 v5.04 better la.. i feel like it got better ram management as it loads opera instantly from ram. more practical.
touch hd camera also provide better low light shooting. auto forus all da time also nicer.
besides ts.. u should make this thread as poll rather than ask like that.
I love Touch-IT v5...cant imagine me converting to the 6.5 rom...though I have never tried it.
Maybe I will if I have some spare time.
although 6.5 looks really nice, I'm gonna hold the update till the final version is released.
today, 5.04 works nicely, no problems at all after aplying the fixes found in the thread and very much better than the (really lite) stock rom-
Can't decide
I'm undecided... Its like I'm caught between two lovers... Personally I find the latest 6.5 ROM to be much better with RAM management, but like devalian said, the 6.1 ROM is much better for daily usage.
I was honestly expecting a lot more bugs in the 6.5 ROM but it actually worked exceptionally well. For those who haven't tried 6.5, I suggest you try it, those who haven't tried the latest 6.1, I suggest you try that also, either way, you can't loose.
lolz honestly mate i just got my phone tday and im on 4th rom ,and out of all those, and judging only on first impresions i like 6.5 i know there are bugs and stuff but nothing deal breaking ill keep the 6.5 for a while.
I am torn between my iPhone and Xperia X1. I want to switch my daily working phone from iPhone to X1 but the bugs in WM6.5 keeps me switches back to iPhone.
I am not a big fan of TouchFlow, the email envelop of the touchflow turned me off.
I prefer wm6.5. so far with wm6.5 RC1, the phone is fast (fast in scrolling, screan orientation..and others) and the battery can last longer (2 days).
However, I like the Opera browser in touch it 5.05 because it has a slider touch to change the zoom level and it has vibration feedback when clicking the link.
Until now, I have no idea why the opera browser in 5.05 different from others.

1. The phone canvas is too dark and the touch keypad is too small I can't use it outdoors
2. When the phone is in lock mode any incoming phone call will make the phone not responding
3. battery life is short ( might be a bug in the software, I charged the phone to full before went to bed, in the morning I checked the battery it is still full so far so good, I then used the phone lightly just view emails and made a couple of short calls, bluetooth and wifi is off. During lunch hour I checked the battery again it was 50% already. with the stock rom I normally use the phone for 3-4 days under the same usage)

In my opinion the WM6.5 Touch-it is far superior. im loving it at the moment
Im not a manila fan so i go for wm6.5 rom.
I find TF3D boring, not appealing and troublesome to add program 1 by 1.
Why? The flip clock is always there with [Call history and Calendar] which coulnt be changed. I prefer it to be something like CommManger or MSN or something else. 3days and I getting bored already. Moreover you can only change the background image for Home screen tab and not others. Although there's something floating around the forum which let you change every wallpaper of the tab, i find it troublesome (yes im lazy) and not attractive. Its still the same ol tab just with different background. *Manila fans will hate me for sure
So i go for WM6.5 with something new - (Titanium) home screen & menu. Adding a weather & Windows Live tab to home screen, changed the honeycomb column, install some basic need program and my device is ready for use.

So you're saying it could actually function for everyday use? I was under the impression the ROM was more or less ment as a preview for 6.5. I didn't realise there were versions of winmo 6.5 floating around which could actually be used
Does stuff like ms exchange, mail syncing, work on winmo 6.5? Do apps made for winmo 6.1 work on 6.5 aswell?

Yes, I've been using this ROM for everyday use since it came out (only annoying thing is answering the phone when it's on keylock)
MS Exchange works (mail, calender, contacts)
Most apps work fine, some show minor glitches (in PIM BackUp it's impossible to deselect messagefolders for backup)

The phone thing is actually a big downfall for me, by keylock do you mean tabbing the upper button or keeping the lock key pressed?

I think he meant the keylock by software where you have to slide to unlock. I do think the keylock(slider) not too perfect at the moment.... and I don't use it.
like in thread. I cooked WM6.5.3, build 28205 with Palm OEM. All works: sleep with red button, messaging etc. Without CHome etc (lockscreen too).
Known bug is not opening Start after tapping icon on the screen. You must open Start with hardbutton.
Please test, I try to fix any bugs you find

oh, really ? I fix this when I could.
Thanks for your efforts! The WM6.5 work for the Treo has slowed to a crawl. Nice to see there are a few of us that still like the Treo's form-factor.
Wow, I really like this ROM. I thought nav's was cool, this is even better! As with nav's ROM, I'll pitch in with some bug reporting.
-Palm's messaging app cannot be closed. It can't be exited, apparently, when I tap the close button on the bottom right it won't close the program. I used Wakutask to minimize it but that's the closest way to minimizing it on one tap (another way to minimize it it to open Start ->Show Today and it should go to the RAM.) Unfortunately, I am unable to use the Task Manager to close it as well. Only a Reboot will clear it away.
-Where is the "Keyguard" control panel applet? I want to turn off keyguard but cannot find the option.
Some other none-Palm related issues:
-When I install FileExplorer Ext, it freezes the phone randomly. Could be a probem with it, so I use Resco explorer for installing cabs :/
-HTC Task Manager doesn't work. Does anyone know which task managing progam is good for the new close button position?
-The aforementioned Waku Task works as designed, but as I mentioned earlier the close button no longer works at the top right (it would if you enable X-button skinning), but having active tasks still on the top bar is great
So, seeing how good this ROM is, minus the above issues, I'm wondering what should we call this ROM? Mietas edition?
Thanks again fo keeping the Treo alive!
more bugs
1.it did not let me to install new programs. I did an hard reset and then i succeed to install softwares.
2.i installed spb keyboard, and when i entered to menu in this software it freez and i needed to do a reset.
Oh this is issue is tottaly awesome. I didnt hope, that someone make new stable rom, with palm oem things. how much free ram is after installation? Want you fix the remaining bugs shortly? I didnt already install it, but i'm going to try it tomorrow.
Many thanks from treo user from czech.
I fix bugs as soon I get a Treo. Probably this week.
Thanks for reporting bugs so much
What about stability, RAM etc?
Finally had the chance to install it. Nice work!
1) I have to admit that I do miss the 'Zune' look of the earlier version's homescreen, but will gladly give it up for the stability and features of this ROM.
2) I had an issue trying to select a ringtone on the Phone Settings Screen. It looks like there is an extra dropdown menu covering up the one where you actually select the ringtone. Once you managed to select the proper dropdown, you could change the ringtone, it just took a little fiddling.
3) When I tried changing themes for the today screen, once switching off the AT&T screen, I couldn't get it back the way it was before the switch. Some of the menus, fonts, and graphics had changed (for example the lower menu bar on the home screen), and the only way I could find to restore it was a hard reset.
4) As others have said, clicking on the Windows logo on the home screen doesn't do anything. You have to use the Windows button on the keyboard.
5) I didn't have the issue reported by mangatron regarding the Messaging app. Mine seems to work fine.
6) The Phone button issue reported by libal is present for me too. It appears to be the menu box that popped up when pressing the phone button, only it goes blank, and as reported it does not go away by leaving that screen. Soft reset does clear it.
Any chance you could share your kitchen with us? This would allow us to make a few of these fixes and will allow us to port to other versions.
Also - When using any mail program it will not allow any reply to an email.
Hmm, Messaging app works fine now. Maybe I had to receive a few sms first, or I suspect my sim card wasn't playing nice with the ROM.
I also use AE Button Plus to map the OK button to actually close programs. That does wonders.
The old battery indicator that used to be in WM6 is half in the top bar. Well, I say half because I can see a part of the lightning icon (when you charge your phone), and a bit of the left shows up. Any way to clear that? Or a bug maybe...
I would like to note people using this ROM for the first time:
-It's always best to clear data after flashing ROM's. Hold Power button and press the Reset button underneath the MiniSD cover. That should clear the old installation setup you had previously, which should fix installation errors.
-The phone may seem sluggish at first setup, just wait for it to load what needs to load, and after you soft reset, everything should be smooth.
-For those that wonder about program compatibility, I tested a WM2003 era program (MADE Text Editor), and it simply overwrites the bottom bar with it's WM2003 style icon style bar. Works fine
As for stability, RAM, the phone operates a bit slower than WM6.1. SKTools benchmarks puts the graphics rendering nearly 100 points lower than WM6.1, and almost 200 points lower than nav's WM6.5 ROM. Maybe if we use his specialized ATI dll it might be faster? Because the CPU is also a bit slow, but only by 1 point, although RAM access time and Main Storage Read/Write is the same as WM6/6.1. I don't really want to tax the RAM, I tested Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u and it operates the same way as on WM6/6.1. I don't want to test Beta 3 because that uses up twice the RAM than Beta 2u.
So far so good though, with a little bit of fixing this ROM can be a winner
Can this be used on Treo 700WX?
or is there WM6.5 ROM for Treo 700WX?

I can't readily compare to 6.1 because I haven't used it in a long time, but this ROM is definitely snappier than nav's 6.5 version. It loads faster, locks onto AT&T much faster, and web pages seem to load faster too. I'm just using it stock, I haven't added any additional software to it. I had nav's ROM on my Treo for several months, and would not go back from a performance perspective.
Having said that, I can confirm Z3rx's report of not being able to reply to emails. It just returns you to the Inbox when selecting reply either through the menu, or using the left action key. That's a big problem for me as I use e-mail quite a bit on my phone. Hope the OP doesn't disappear, as so many of the Treo 750 cookers seem to do after an initial release.
just wanted to say thanks! i also lost confidence in new wm6.5 roms for our old but good treo 750!
keep up the good work man!

Hmm, I can only imagine with nav's ATI driver this Mietas ROM would be a whole lot better, nav's was good basically for font rendering (pretty much every program launched) and Camera quality. The rest, was like you mentioned, it wasn't optimized in a lot of places, most notably for it's RAM management and I would suspect CHome/Titanium existing in his ROM further slowed it down.
Other than that, isn't signal clarity/reception dependant on the Radio Firmware version? Although I wouldn't be surprised because Nav's ROM does not pull both CAP_package and the Carrier database from EXT Rom like Mietas' ROM [probably] does (which would explain it being able to lock on faster, a similar experience I had with Tacoman's WM6.1 and the Chinese WM6.1, with Taco's pulling from EXT Rom while the CHS one didn't)
I would like to add that I currently am using the Database from what was most likely the final Official ENG ROM released by Palm, Vodafone Version 2.30 which according to my digging contains the most up to date Carrier Database (that's where all the world's wireless carrier information is kept). I could imagine if you had this you'd have even better results with your wireless carrier.

I'm on AT&T, and did not change the radio firmware when I flashed this ROM. On Nav's ROM I manually set up the AT&T config, but did not have to here. Could be the difference I suppose.

I agree that I hope the cook does not disappear, which is why I have asked for his cooked kitchen so I can make further improvements or port other version (23541)... however I have not heard anything back.
The email issue is a big problem as many times I can not even start a new email.
Please share your work so we can make a great rom!
Thank you, i was specting for something like this for about a year, anyone has some pictures of this new ROM working???
how the radio works how can i change the radio to get a better signal? here we have 850 umts and gsm 1800
