Saving for FAQ.

Oh sure, I thought I was supposed to put that one up. :)

I'll work something up and keep it right here, post #7 on the first page.

People - PM me with things that should be in the FAQ. I promise to try to get to it once a day, ok?

[ttran001]

Go for it, let me know when your done and I will include it in the next rev.

[cangri87]

Comming soon!

Not sure of the release date yet.

hey Ttran... any ETA? on due date?:D

[tnewman]

i need instructions on how to get touch it

[Kuuf]

i need instructions on how to get touch it

Touch It is not Open Touch
And getting it -> download from the links in the Touch It topics, read the explenations. And if you have any questions left, they'll probably help you :)

@TS: Waiting patiently :)

[coolmen777]

i need instructions on how to get touch it

For Newbies, I would start out with reading stickies (especially WM6 on the front page, Sticky #2). There are other FAQs on this forum, you are a new member, please READ, READ, and again READ all guides and as many discussions as you can, pick the version of touch-it, open touch you like, then download it from the thread, and ask questions in that thread! Thanks and good luck!

[hidavi]

Just hope it has a different interface than that LG stuff...

[cangri87]

one favor Ttran..
can u put S2U2 to v0.97 or any newer one on this rom?
it would be appreciated greatly.. :D

[ttran001]

S2U2 will not be included in this rev, since too many people did not want it included. You can always download it and install it.

[ttran001]

No LGMenu, until it's fully working.

Hey ttran,will there be the new SCLPC cube? i hear that it runs much better than the HTC cube and it has better/more capabilities/uses. thanks.

:-) Oh boy....

[ttran001]

Hey ttran,will there be the new SCLPC cube? i hear that it runs much better than the HTC cube and it has better/more capabilities/uses. thanks.

Hi,

I've tried the SCLPC cube before and it does work pretty good. I'm the type of person that if some thing is not broken don't fix it. The current touchflo cube works great and seems to be very stable. I've never really had any issues with it so it does not look as if I will be replacing it.

[aron4588]

Thanks for the update, but I asked all beta testers to pm me with their feed back.

The reason for this was that I did not want a public beta testing as with v2.2, it cause too many issues.

Please report any new findings via Pm.

Most of your findings have already been reported by the other beta testers and I have or currently working on resolving all issues.

Thanks again,

[ttran001]

Hi,

I'm still in the building process and wanted to get a list of apps that most peopole are using.

I already have my listed created and some very useful apps included but wanted some user input before completing this rom.

Please only post apps that are freeware.

[nextpimp]

Hi,

Are you refering to the wheather button on the home screen?

Its a today plug-in.... for some reason i cannot attach files... I was looking for a link in this forum but could not find. Weatherpanel and some themes can be found here.... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=98153&postcount=1

[fishwiz45]

hey, i noticed there are others besides me wanting a tweak that allows htc home weather to update via proxy connection. ivanmmj was considering to work on this b4 his pc problems and seemingly burn out with work stuff. it would be fantastic if this tweak could be solved and included in a future release! thanks!!! love biggy 2.4

[mahd-leb]

this looks sounds like it going to be a great rom about the apps .... are u going to make htc album the default pic viewer and ..it would be great like if some not so usefull apps wouldnt be included in the rom...
like in ur other rom there was apps that i never used and would have prefered space instea of them

[droppedd]

it would be nice to have ANB Software Web Viewer - http://www.anbsoftware.co.uk/download.php?id=13
they just released a new version... it adds tabs and some other cool stuff to PIE, and it's super small (98KB installed). It does have a weird issue (for me at least) where it seems to crash if you close it with the X button instead of file-> exit, but that might just be me.

I would also say the last.fm player would be nice, but that's still in really early development, so maybe that should wait a few more weeks.

I will get with ivanmmj about this issue, and hope that we can figure out a fix before the release date.

I've tested this along with a lot of other apps, it was pretty good.
And I also ran into some strange issues with it as well.
So, I'm not likely not going to include it.

Also,

I'm going to include Opera Mini..

[aron4588]

may i ask what java are you using, are you using the one ivan used?

[ttran001]

may i ask what java are you using, are you using the one ivan used?

Hi,

I'm using EsmertecJbed, after talking to Ivanmmj I spent more time redoing the packages for it and got it to work. In the beta version I did not include the signed version of opera since I was not sure if I would include it in the final release. I'm running beta to with the signed version and opera is running smoothly.

I was also thinking about making opera the default browser but then there will be folks that dont want that.

Most likely once the rom has been release I will add how to make opera the default browser in the FAQ section.

Hi ttran

[simplicity05]

That's why I'm asking for which apps people are using the most.
Then as stated before there is be a slimline version with very few apps installed.

I typically use:
-Google Maps
-JBed/Opera Mini (who'da thunk it :P)
-MS Word
-MS Excel
-HTC Home
-HTC Album
-HTC Home Customization Tool
-Total Commander
-The PBAr Battery Monitor
-Battery Status to overclock and view CPU/Mem usage
-The secondary start menu you put in I'm in love with - think I hit hibernate 100 times a day. No problems, just anal like that haha
-Glossy Black Bars - be cool if we could do other colors. The black I'm starting to tire of.
-Disable Cab Delete - if you could have this cooked in, I'll FedEx you a Killians tommorow morning :P
-The games are fun, but I prefer just to play DopeWars (http://dopewarsppc.sourceforge.net/). Haven't done a single drug in my life, but I still have fun with it :D

[luda420]

t-mobile im client will not connect and sends strange text messages:confused:

thats the only issue i have with this rom everything else works great:D

[hidavi]

I use the Action Screen and Internet Sharing.

[drewdown227]

I use the Action Screen and Internet Sharing.
how do i even get to the action screen i havent been able to figure that out.?

[hidavi]

I went to the Buttons setting in the Settings section and set Button 4 to "HTCActionScreen." However, in Touch-It 4.4, I had to make a shortcut for it in the Programs shortcut folder for it to appear in the list for that option, so you might have to do the same in this ROM. Can't say for sure as I've only used Touch-It 2.3 and 4.4, never any Open Touches.

[Gurm]

My default browser is Opera Mobile (not Mini).

Frankly I don't like the whole "someone else is caching all my GET requests" thing. That skeeves me out. But I know people LOVE their Mini, so...

And it's so tiny there's no reason not to include it!

Hi,

Thats strange, everytime I add a program like HTCActionScreen I always create a short cut for it. Makes life a little simpler for me and other users.

/Start/Accessories/HTCActionScreen and will also appear when assigning buttons to it.

[ivanmmj]

Your should have it. It does by default if you created the package from a cab. If it doesn't on itje, it's because of a mistake.

v2.4 the instant messaging application isnt working properly; keep receiving text messages from the server than the application signs off and says check system settings.

[simplicity05]

Both with 2.4 and 2.5-beta I have not seen this issue at all.

[JLine05]

v2.4 the instant messaging application isnt working properly; keep receiving text messages from the server than the application signs off and says check system settings.

ttran is going to be removing this for the next version. You will be able to install any 3rd party IM software.

[ttran001]

Folks,

Please check the first post for all possible apps for the next version.
Most of them are currently installed and working but I might remove some if people are not going to use them.

Please review and post what you don't like or do like so I will know.

I also fixed the NetCF v3.5 issue and seems to be working pretty smooth.

i know you want us to let you know which apps we will be using or not but i have a different question. i am used to the touch-it rom and i am looking foward to switching to open touch. i noticed that on my brothers htc touch he has a larger on screen keyboard than mine. is there any way that you can make the one in this rom larger. sorry if this dont make sense kind of new at this


***oh and and adding a progarm that will allow you to write out a text message by speaking the words will be cool. like the app in the sprint htc touch the cdma version

thanks for your feed back bro,

People please continue to provide more feed back.

If you don't provide feed back and your requested app might be left out of the rom.

[miikkee221]

can you add the video sites program? when will the rom be ready? is there an older rom i could for the mean time? right now i''m stock. do i have to unlock the phone first?

[hebrewhammer]

Will the cube be in all of them?

[hidavi]

Woot! Can't wait for snapshots!

[Cye3212]

I, for one, would like it if the latest quickmenu (2.7) were added on. One question, the lite version will not have the cube right? I'm asking because i would like to add/remove cubes (Slither's, Kona's, etc.) as they are updated as well as having my rom "stuffed" with apps as well (magic ss, anyone?). I don't want too much change from the 2.5 other than it runs smoother and has upgraded apps as well as a few other tweaks - aesthetically speaking I would like 2.5 to resemble 2.4. thanks.

[teflon252]

Please provide more details.

Which version are you using?
Is it the slimeline, biggy?
i'm using the BIGGY...its like the phone locks up...and today i started experiencing freezing. Like the back light is off n the service n bluetooth LED's are blinking like normal...but the phone is frozen...i didnt notice it for like 3 hourse till i realized that none of my friends had called me. I pressed the power button n the back light didnt come on...so i had to soft reset twice in a row to get it passed the "OPEN TOUCH" screen

[teflon252]

Use da regular menu with bigger Icons...quickmenu has too much stuff on it...

[simplicity05]

Personally a huge fan of quick menu. Only feature I'd like to see would be a comprehensive task manager - saw I-can't-remember-which-one that let you see even how many occurances of "phone" were running and then shut them down.

[fishwiz45]

I dont use WM5torage, Voice Speed Dial, MS Voice Command, QuickMenu, PS ShutXP, pbar, chess or freecell either. also could do without windows live and live search, bored with cube i'll try the stand alone apps from slither ect..but don't need it on my rom, quick menu was cool at first could do without though if it takes a lot of space. I serch with google and use google maps,I like inernet sharing S-tris,bubble breaker,wishing galaga was full v.pocketcm v..18 won't install worked fine on stock rom but not on big2.4???PRAYING for htc home weather proxy update fix, and set pic as desktop button for htc album. oh yeah, my phone doesn't lock up, hardly ever have to soft reset compared to stock t-mo rom. i'm pretty good about closing apps when i' done with em and cleaning out my internet files/history to keep my wing speedy and clean!

[21031980]

Hi ttran001
I know some of our friends don't use voice commands... but once u start using them,,, u would not have to use ur stylus for every thing... wm6 can identify voice commands pretty good.. i used them a lot. just say "start notes" instead of going through menu.. its quite handy in my opinion..

i would love to have it... at least as an add-on cab please...
Thanq for all of ur effort.. i love ur 2.4 biggy(am using it... but sometimes it freezes on audio manager.. donno y.. looking forward to 2.5:rolleyes:

Personally I don't use quick menu (prefer larger for easier navigation) so that can be removed, but up to you. I do use Voice Command and Voice Speed Dial, so as someone else already mention, please leave those in the package (that is why we call it a biggy).

Also, a big request from my WIFE, PLEASE include the Solitare, she is addicted to it, or someone point to a cab that I can install! She will literally kill me if after I reflash the game ain't there (last night she store 5237 in 149 seconds, amazing).

Otherwise, I am getting the thrills, finally get to upgrade from Open Touch 1. Which icons did you decide to use (hoping it is 2.4 and not iPhone), and can we over-write the icons without breaking anything! Thanks and hope to download this puppy soon!

[Debdrup]

How about doing a version that doesn't require Hard SPL as it kindof leaves some of the users in the dark who have an SPL over 5 (which it can't be, if I remember correctly)?

Kinda sucks not being able to use it.

If you would like to change the look of htc home, you can download htc home customizer and then you can change clock and icons.

I may be mistaken, but I think as long as its over 4.xx you can hard-SPL. You may want to verify though.

Edit: It may have to be resized. I just applied it and it cuts off the sweet Windows logo. Maybe one of our photo friendly friends can get it to work?

I like the second one a lot (the dark background with one green swoosh). Very simple and relaxing. Gets my vote.

I just installed it. The line gets covered up by the icons. It basically looks like a solid dark green background.

Folks,

I've been too busy at work today, I'm going to have to change the release date until tomorrow.

keep the photos comming so we can choose one. It's also nice if the photos are editable for both formats.

I dont have photo shop at work and will try to create something tonight if possible.

Thanks,

I am currently running Touch-IT 2.3 and Im going to give this rom a try when you release it! Looks very interesting!

[JeremyATSG]

I am running Open 2.4 and it is awsome..
I still cant get the "Cube" to work..

2.4 is great.
I was wondering if terminal services will be added.

Also how do you start the cube, there is a check in the touchflo control panel.

I have RDP on my own person version but most people do not want it so I left it out.

As for the cube, please perform the following or for review the newbee post.

Goto /Start/Programs/TouchFlo/TFSetting

Choose from the top drop down menu for the choice of cube activiation.

Goto to /Start/Programs/TouchFlo/TouchSettings

Save and reboot or soft reset your device.

i'm pretty sure you have to put touchflow in your start menu through the today/menu options under settings. then the top to bottom finger drag gesture will begin to work. hope this helps.

The photos look great and we need the following format.

One at 240 x 320 and the other at 320 x 240.

[grassrootz]

Ok, I resized them again and this time in photoshop so they look better. Do you need two sizes of each? So each image needs a 240x320 and 320x240?

I think it runs faster on the main memory plus what about the people that don't have storage cards?

It does not take up that much space so I think I'm going to keep it.

[grassrootz]

Ok I reuploaded all the pics. Im not sure if the landscape ones are good enough to use since they looked stretched but it was either stretched or cropped.

Here's the link: http://flickr.com/photos/77302574@N00/sets/72157603734374965/

edit* i didn't think about it but I guess I could have just rotated them. but some might not look right then. I don't know lol if you guys are interested let me know and I'll make the changes.


Also, I downloaded the 2.5 lite version and the notes say it includes Touchflo but I can't find the settings for it.

[prscott1]

Tran, Great work! I had tested 2.4 slim and now have installed 2.5 slim and will test it. So far, all works great - I've installed apps and done a few other personal tweaks and it is a rock solid ROM.

I don't see the touchflo in the 2.5 slim though - is there a cab available so I can install it?

Many regards, prscott1.

Damn, I don't know why I have not tried opera mobile sooner. It truly makes browsing a near desktop like experience! Loving this new revision so far ttran =]

^Sorry to break it to you but Opera Mobile sucks and costs money. Opera Mini is much better and costs nothing.

[ttran001]

Just to clarify, it's opera mini that is preinstalled in this rom release.
It makes browsing the web a little bit nicer than IE, plus it think it moves a little faster too.

I still need to work on some more reg hacks that did not get registered correctly. I will have this resolved in the morning and upload the final of biggy and possible update for slimline.

They're done in the correct sizes I believe, 320t x 240w for portrait and vice versa for landscape.

Also, how do you feel about having an open touch branded theme, and does anyone want my xda dev theme:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/nachtgeist03/forumready6.gif

Oh, quick question. In that screen, is there a way to either switch the icon directly above where it says "/17/" back to the time, or remove it completely?

[kree]

If there is a way to disable the "cell" network profile when roaming or some way to stop urgent phone messages from popping up repeatedly when roaming because the gprs service cannot or is having problems connecting, would be greatly appriciated. I have looked all thru the registry, searched the forum and even looked on google with no luck. I wouldn't mind the the message once but when it pops up so many times that it renders the phone useless it tends to get a little anoying. Its also worth saying that this problem has happened with all the other wm6 roms that I have used so its just not open touch 1.0, 2.2, 2.4 and so on. thank you for all the hard work.

[Debdrup]

I may be mistaken, but I think as long as its over 4.xx you can hard-SPL. You may want to verify though.

Hm, turns out you're right. Well I hate double negatives when people translate stuff from one language to another.

Anyway, here's another suggestion for something to put in Open Touch 2.5:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343238

It's basically a radio update, as far as I've understood. Would be awesome if it could be intergrated, for better reception. :)

take an RUU from Wing and insert the GSM.nbh.

Radiorom is equal for each device.....

I'm actually quite new in the whole rom scene of phones, but as far as I've understood it's actually easier to flash to any hard spl version of a rom than anything else (like my experience with flashing to touch-it 3)..?

But will open touch 2.5 indeed be out for the p4350?

Right, seems the first post was edited since I read it last - good to know there will indeed be a Herald version as well as a Wing version..

I'll just wait till open touch 2.5 comes before doing anything else.. As I said I'm kinda new and I don't wanna completely fuck up my phone by just doing something like that, though I don't know if it will.. Rather have other people test it out that know what they're doing..

Hi,

It was a busy for me yesterday and wanted to give folks a chance to play with the slimlime version. The slimline does not include the cube, it has bioscroll features but not cube. The cube takes up a pretty good amount of space.

The biggy should be completed today, I just need to recheck a few reg hacks that I added, but with the tmobile rom it did not go through.

Hi,

As stated before on a different post I will be creating a version for the p4350 once I'm done with the roms for the wing.

So, just hang tight and please remember that I only have a wing so I will have to start the p4350 version out as a beta.

Some people say that the only main difference is the keyboard, but I want to make sure that users will not have more problems.

The tmobile wing rom for has be a big pain in the b*tt.

Mainly a few features users have posted for me to add, and example would be the bluetooth, and button 5(hold) option so when they go to add voice command it will work out of the box.

But thanks for bring that to my attention, I will correct that on the next major update and the biggy version.

Hey Ttran, you do what you can, and we can take can of the rest. I perosonally would prefer the dark green Windows Mobile version for the background (more official/professional then the blue chains or whatever this is). I assume we are talking about boot screen wallpaper (not the Today Theme that can be easily changed with a tsk). If someone tell us how to change those two files, those that know basic image editing techniques can modify to their liking! Thanks a lot for everything you do. I will donate from my next paycheck...
