[Discussion] Open Touch v4.0 | WM 6.1 | T-Mobile Wing!

[ttran001]

As always the following rules apply with all of my roms except for the game part since the lite version do not include them..

====================================

Goals

Create a rom that will offer the following to end users.

Faster

Any body can build a rom faster than the stock one, but will it be more stable?

Looks slick

A phone that will have an interface your proud to show off to your family and friends.

Storage

Extra storage space in case you were not able to buy a sd card.

Easy to use

Comes with apps already install so people do not have to waste too much time downloading extra apps and etc.

Stable

A rom that you will not have to soft reset daily. Fixing common issues found with the original rom.

Fun

A rom with extra games so when your stuck some where and there is nothing to do, you can always play games.

====================================

There will be two versions:

Open Touch v4.0 UC

This one will be like the lite but with the following options.

1. UC added but with a twist, meaning it will not auto load, you will have the option to run it yourself.

2. Open Touch Cab Center = I'm going to include some commanly used cabs with the rom, you choose which ones you want and need.

3. Voice speed dial and voice command have been added and working.

Specs:

6MB Pagepool
45MB+ Storage and 26MB+ Programs - Due to Voice command

Open Touch v4.0 Biggy

Still listing

OMG OMG OMG YESSS!!!!! THANK YOU!!! im putting it on tonight. in the mean time, people who put it on, give a review on what you think of it :)

[dongo1]

"2. Open Touch Cab Center = I'm going to include some commanly used cabs with the rom, you choose which ones you want and need."

Does this mean we can add any cab we want to the rom or we can only choose what cabs you have included? Keep up the good work.

[JLine05]

Looking good. You may want to include the new radio in this rom.

I've included commanly used cabs with this rom. You will simply go to Cabs Center and click to install the ones you need or want.

There will also be another option within the Cab Center for you to install cabs from your sd card.

Thanks bro,

Hey ttran

Whats the ETA?

thanks

[ttran001]

Hey ttran

Whats the ETA?

thanks

I'm trying to have the beta ready for the beta team to test tomorrow.
I'm currently working on adding more cabs to the rom.

[MDANavymom]

Great!! I am done with finals, now have time to play!!

[timace]

its been asked but i just read a thread and it confused me, i have the 3.0 biggy on my device and used USPL for the rom, but now am i goin to need to need HardSPL to install this new rom since its not clean 'out of the box'...i read tht as long as ur IPL and SPL were above 4.0 then u can still use USPL to install...or am i completly wrong?

That's wrong information...

I don't like to force people to use HARD-SPL unless they want to.
I mean I could include it as a package and have people just become HARD-SPL without knowing, but that would be the wrong thing to do.

I know that the current installation process is kind of old but it's made for folks that do not wish to have their devices become HARD-SPL.

Awesome, thanks for your quick response and great work, cant wait...

[tipz]

I am a little confused.
so if i understand correctly.

in UC version after the install it will give us option which cabs to install right?
if that is the case isn't that going to affect the size of the installed rom and space after install is done

You are correct, if you notice the program and storage space is less than the v3.0 lite, but not much..

There are two options, one is to install cabs already included in the rom, which will reduce some of the space.
Two install cabs from your own sd card to your sd card which will not effect the ram size.

In the original UC, you have to have your config file and cabs already on your sd card before flashing the rom. Since it will auto install after the flashing has completed. I've made it where you can use the UC option when your ready.

[flyinbird93]

Looks good, i'm excited! i've been waiting to try and fix my phone till 4.0 was released.

[bgould]

Is there any way to have the theme the same color as the backround? It matches my wing PERFECTLY. I've been searching around for a navy blue-ish theme with no luck. Even if you can just provide a cab to have that nstead of the black htc theme would be great.

[aad4321]

mabye i diddnt see the answer in the previous posts, but you said you are releasing a beta tonight? and when you do release beta, how long are you planing on keeping it beta untill you release the final version?

[ttran001]

No,

I'm going to release the beta version only to the beta team tomorrow for testing. This takes a day or two depending on how many issues come up.

Once everything looks good I will then release it.

Sweet! so were looking at maybe friday night, Saturday?

[bowlopho]

will bbconnect work with this rom?

I like that - so does this mean no more 5 - 7 hours installation process for me? That's about how long it takes for me to install from start to finish after flashing. I like the lite and slimeline versions btw.

[hoolahoous]

i am waiting eagerly for this ROM.. if you are including voice speed dial, can you please make sure that registry entries and the voice command files are included ? secondly if possible can you please take care of the home screen not aligning correctly when switching from landscape to portrait

[nKiwan]

wow, huge progress with this new ROM... can't wait! UC compliant is going to make a huge difference.

[bugsy714]

Open Touch v4.0 UC

1. UC added but with a twist, meaning it will not auto load, you will have the option to run it yourself.
2. Open Touch Cab Center = I'm going to include some commanly used cabs with the rom, you choose which ones you want and need.

This is brilliant! It will give much more flexibility/customization for users.

Very excited to see the evolution of Open Touch & the Wing, keep up the great work!

[simplicity05]

Hey guys, wanted to let everyone know - I'M BACK BIOTCHES!

Been away for a minute, so can someone catch me up to speed on what UC is?

Hi,

I have not release a version for the hermes yet, just using it as a personal rom.

I will in the future once I'm done with this version for the heralds/wing.

Hang tight,

[ttran001]

Sorry folks,

Been very busy today at work, I just got home like an hour ago.
I will try and finish it up tomorrow but not sure yet, this will depend on work.

[Cye3212]

Ttran, love the work, still hittin hard with the good ol 3.0 - lookin forward to 4.0. One thing, might I suggest a new splash screen? preferrably from poorlyduck like in ur previous releases? the digi-blue seems a bit retro, so maybe bring some daark-toned splash screen like that back?...this is purely my opinion, even if you dont change it that is cool, just a suggestion. Thanks.

[debro012]

How can I become a tester for your roms?

[vietkiller]

Hey TTRAN
Can you please put cube into in version i love using it
if so thanks very much it would make my day

[roman2113]

Cant wait for this! Your the best! :D

[Master Loon]

Looking good. You may want to include the new radio in this rom.

T I agree with J on this. i seem to have less connection issues with the new radio......
Unless it's tmo messing with their signals getting ready for better speed!!

I hope:rolleyes:

[dewittk]

ttran...not to sound too eager, but when do we get the v4??!! You da man!

[alongenemylines]

so, i gotta ask. is the comm manager randomly pop up fixed?

i'm already strating to gather everything i want to re-install.

[ElProempie]

I'd like to see something with lots of finger sweeping things. Like the Cube and stuff like that. Scrolling with Fingersweeping actions, Closing.

Also i like to have lots of graphical stuff. i dont know what to say more. Just some thoughts

[bgould]

I know I asked this question before, but I haven't seen an answer. Is there any way you can create a navy blue theme for this ROM? I would love to have something to match the color of the wing. Even if it's just something you provide extra or can show me how to create. I would appreciate anything you can offer! Keep up the great work on your rom's. I can not even begin to imagine the process involved in cooking a custom rom.

If you go with this, let's make it all optional. I don't want to see stuff like this become the only way to navigate.

[ElProempie]

Well i dont mean that this would be the only way, but just to make it like a real Touch ROM. Not the Touch from HTC but just Touch.

I agree with you to make it optional. Like including it in the ROM but make it optional in the way so you can turn it off and on.

[roman2113]

Hey TTRAN do you have a new ETA? Cant Wait! But I guess good things come to those who wait right? :D

[FZZF]

So TT destroyed my phone!!!!!!!! no not ttran my Audi TT...!!..lol... I drove over my wing yesterday completely destroyed it, after I picked it up the screen was shattered, the sides busted and parts were hanging off, some keyboard buttons popped off but as I am examining it it started ringing "you're $hitting me!?!?!?!" is what i said out loud..!! I hit the send button and it answered and I had a 40 min conversation on it I even used the speaker phone..!! that is one well constructed and tough phone, good thing I have insurance so for a $110 deductible a new one is on its way it should be here Tuesday and I will be neeeeding to flash it with this rom, so I hope it will be done by then, it sounds like a fantastic ROM I was using v3.0 and loved it, I like that this will have voice command and working and it's UC compliant. TT keep up the good work .

Hehe.. i guess HTC is starting to look like Nokia. We all know nokia are strong builds. They just never break. From what i hear from you, HTC cant break aswell. I love HTC :cool:

TTRAN, please include the contact voice dialing, not cyber.... crap. but the OEM voice tags that can be added for each contacts.

If you are refering to the cube theme then it would be something different from the regular cube that we're used to. For those that do not want cube installed I would just have this as a cab.

[Claus1985]

Hi,

Please provide more details as to more touchable?


I have tested many roms and programms to provide as much comfort using the phone with one hand as possible. Your Open Touch 3.0 in my opinion is still the best rom out there! :-) But I have found some good alternatives to the build in windows mobile programms that can easily be used by one hand (and hopefully included in your next rom *g*):

- I prefer icontact as my favorite contact manager (fast, stylish and freeware!)
- Slide2unlock is a great tool too. It shows missed calls, sms etc.. (using it since my first rom and love it)

I am still searching for the perfect Shortcut prog. for my today screen. I have tried nearly all iPhone styles but most of them are too slow and the rest just doesent fit for me... (I love the idea of having 5 medium Shortcuts at the bottom of the today screen, iPhone like). :confused:

I dont know why but I dont like useing the Cube... I know it sounds like the perfect fingerfrindly app but I never really used it... I like the idea of a fully touchable Windows Mobile (big program Icons, Easy to use settings and so on...) without using a seperate tool like the cube.

Last but not least I hate using the standardt messaging tool build in because you have to use the stylus before you can start typing... (It takes me way more time creating a sms with my herald than with my previous Nokia 9300)

So finally I hope you could include some of these suggestions in your new Rom to make it more fingerfriendly! :rolleyes:

Thank you for your great work!

[mjo404]

No thank you on the vista theme!

People who want it can include in themselves correct?

Thanks again Ttran!

[dumpydooby]

As far as aesthetics go, I prefer blue themes. I'm not a fan of Vista or black ones. In fact, I want to see about creating a Luna Element theme for PPC.

Here is Luna Element for WinXP:

I'd rather not post this as a request, though, as I tend to adhere to the aphorism, "Beggers can't be choosers."

Hi,

Thank you for you input and I've thought about this before but then a lot of folks might not want it.

I'm all about cooking roms for users to enjoy and majority rules with the over all out come.

[Claus1985]

Thank you for listening! =)
Im using Open Touch 4.0 anyway because its gonna be must have!
I would appreciate it if you could include icontakt and slide2play in your cabs to install app!

Thanks in advance!

OT4.0 will have UC. You can just run UC after install and those cabs will install automatically. :)

[Claus1985]

O.K. now I think I understand what everybody meant with UC....
Just an app that installs all .cab files from sd card automatically!?

[ttran001]

That is correct, it will give you more control over the rom.

No thank you on the vista theme!

Thanks again Ttran!

That is correct they can install it after the rom has been flashed, but then some folks will not know how or want to.

This will make things simple, I will have to different version, one with vista and one with open touch.

[MDANavymom]

I guess I shouldn't have voted on the theme since I will be changing it red when I get it anyway. :)

I don't think you could get a large mass of people to vote on one globally supported theme. I believe that's why theme-ing exists, because no-one is happy with just one theme ;)
I love your work but don't forget to take a break every now an then, as a application developer/web designer I know what it's like to have new projects dumped on me as well has being engulfed by those projects lol.

[nuron]

What is the speed like compared to V3.0?

[ahmadh007]

One thing that I noticed in v3.0 was the playback of youtube vids. Compared to v2.5, the playback was a lot smoother.

Nonetheless, there is still some lag in video playback. Maybe an improvement on that?

[SimonNWalker]

Personally I'd be happy to have the option of different color schemes available to install as cabs or other means that you could create.
This would be the ideal solution if it's possible.

But more than anything I'm ready for V4..LOL

Your previous versions are the best ROMs available and I wish I was savvy enough to help you out when you your so busy so we can get V4 finished. Unfortunatly I'm not, so just do the best you can and I'm sure that we will all be EXTREMELY happy.

Keep up the good work ttran.
Yo da man!

Yo da man!

As much as I like Open Touch there is always the personal element that ttran001 should not have to deal with, otherwise he would have to make a couple thousand versions. I still like tweaking with some settings here or there. That is what makes the phone mine. Ttran is giving me the fast, stable base to use as my cornerstone.

That's the main reason I don't have a problem with whatever he puts out, it's quality and free. I never expect him to come out with the "Proto Touch" version just because my perfect ROM changes from day to day, and I adjust accordingly. Why should "the man with the golden ROM" have to include my every whim, just give me the base and the space to do what I want. That's what makes it so great.

I'm really not trying to pick one you SNW, I've seen a lot more post that basically demand updates from ttran. I also feel the same way about v4.0, I'm nearly glued to this forum in anticipation. I think the last post by xyenxz sums it up.

[ElProempie]

Well....most ROMS are either Blue or Black and you know me I am a RED person myself. ;)

You just bring me a good idea.

How about a Glossy Bar Colour chooser thing. Everybody's choice of colours can be enabled.

Damn, i need some sleep. Sorry about my english.. :(

I second that. Wednesday is my last day of vaction and was really hoping this was going to be out for the masses. Spending my vacation to do a Rom upgrade will not make the wife happy but neither is my checking this forum every few minutes. I know I know we all want a great working ROM with no bugs but I AM A CELL PHONE JUNKIE! Fine I need help. But they dont have meetings for this sorta thing.

[joking]

Folks,

I will be uploading the Micro Beta 1 version to the beta team today by 5:00 PM. I have a few more things I need to finish up with the rom and work..heheh

Goals of the Mirco release:

60MB+ Storage and 28MB+ Programs

Regards,

Wooooow....Look like I'll need to turn in 1 or 2 vacation days after you release the rom :)

[dewittk]

Awesome news! Will there be a biggie version?

[ElProempie]

Wooooow....Look like I'll need to turn in 1 or 2 vacation days after you release the rom :)

Same for me here.. I can't wait. :D

Im going to have sleepless nights when the Beta has arrived :rolleyes:

[ttran001]

Awesome news! Will there be a biggie version?

Yes, there will always be a biggy version for lazy folks like me..heheheh

I'm going to start off with the micro, then the lite, then the biggy..

[ttran001]

Folks,

I was going to strip the rom down to 60MB+ for storage but then the phone would not be fully functional. Plus you would have to spend more time adding core stuff back in.

I've gotten it down to 55MB+ Storage and 28MB+ Programs with it being more functional.

Testing a few more things and I will upload it for the beta team.

We could just load this rom on if we have your 3.0 version right

One small suggestion about the name, It would be sexier if you name it Open Touch Naked instead of Micro :D

Just kidding to release the tention while waiting :)

I thought about that but some one else from the hermes section already has that name for his roms.. I don't want to get into that naming issue again..heheh

Any other suggestions?

[ElProempie]

LOL Open Touch V4.0 Naked. Yeah, sounds better then Micro actually :rolleyes:

55MB+ Storage.. I don't care, all i care about is the device working fully functionally!
And i think most people agree with me.

EDIT: Ok, since you posted 2 minutes before me.. i've couldn't read your message.

How about Nude.. It's the same as naked but... well, you get the picture.

[roman2113]

I thought about that but some one else from the hermes section already has that name for his roms.. I don't want to get into that naming issue again..heheh

How bout "Open Touch - Stripped" or Open Touch - Basic"

[joking]

How about Open Touch v4.0 StripTease :D

[ElProempie]

LOL Striptease.. * is rolling on the floor, laughing *

So if anybody else wants to beta test it will it be available for anyone to download?
The anticipation is killing me!

No...TTRAN has a team that will test out the rom to find any possible bugs.

1st off I love Open Touch v3.0

PLEASEEEEE someone, anyone create a slide 2 "answer" not a slide 2 lock. I am so tired of my phone answering itself in my pocket when I don't want it to.

[FZZF]

I got my brand new wing today after I drove over my old wing and crushed it, I hear it banging on the box wanting to come out and get flashed, I am back using my old MDA for now so I will just keep using that till this rom is released, I was using V3.0 on my old and loved it one of the best roms I ever used including the ones I used on the MDA TTran your work is always appreciated, waiting impatiently. maybe I will test a few different roms while waiting for this one just cause I can...:)

You can search in the Development and Hacking forum for the utility called S2U2. I'm currently using S2U2 v0.99p by A_C, it also has the setting to turn on slide 2 answer.

There are couple threads in there show you how to customize S2U2 too. I've spend time to customize it while waiting for TTran's Open Touch v4.0 ;)

[ttran001]

Folks,

After rethinking things last night, I figured there is really no point in having a micro version since almost everybody has a micro sd card.

I think the main goal or focus should be with a biggy version with apps that make the phone functional and fun to use.

I will try and finish up the biggy version today if possible.

[wearefree]

I, for one, prefers the lite version, as I'm using the Open Touch V3 lite. Yes I do have a MicroSD card (2GB) and I'm planning upgrading to 8GB when the price comes down so I can install more maps for the GPS programs.

I prefer having a large storage place for program cache. I have found that most programs will cache in storage memory rather than program memory, and have more storage memory means I can browse the web longer, download larger files, view more youtube videos, etc. Of course I can move the cache to storage card; but firstly storage card is much slower; secondly storage card is not good for many rewrites and memory can be re-written almost infinite times.

Currently upon soft reset I have >30Mb storage memory and >20Mb program memory. I'm loving it!

Just my 2 cents.

First off, thanks for all the hard work on these roms!

Second, Will it be possible to get a way to check my msn mail using the live feature? Forgive me if this has been covered in another thread, but i havent seen if msn live is coming back to these roms's.

True... and I have always used the biggy versions once released. However.. I liked the idea of a micro version.. Especially for those of us that plan to take advantage to the UC compliance. The micro version provides the base..then just add cabs. No redundant apps.. No wasted space.

[roman2113]

Cool. I always end up using the Biggie anyways.
I on the other hand was looking forward to the micro version. Not everyone has the same customization. I do have a micro sd 6gb card but I install the apps that I choose to the sd card. The micro version sounded real good to me.

Okay,

Since there are people that perfer the micro, then it will stay.

It's currently being tested by the beta team, I'm just waiting on their responses before releasing it.

With the additional voice command and voice speed dial, which tool about 5MB of space, I was not able to fit in the windows live.

I might included it with the release without vc and vsd.

Is your 2GB card one of the High Speed cards, I have a 4GB High Speed cards and it's amazing how fast it writes data to it using my pc. I can also using higher bitrates when I compress my videos for viewing on my phone.
For your 8GB sd card purchase I'd recommend the High Speed version.

TTran,

Are you talking about the light version or the biggy?

If you are going to release the light version without vc and vsd, could you please attach the vsd cab? I don't care about vc because it never working right for me.

Thank you for your hard work! I'm really appreciate it.

[dewittk]

We still want the biggie ASAP though, just in case you thought we were not here. :)

Tell you what I'm going to release a light version with vsd since it only takes about a 1MB or so.

I will preset the 5th hold button for vc just in case folks want to use it.

While we're waitin for the BIG 4 OWWW. Maybe someone can help me out. I beat Contra on my phone last night then downloaded pocket SNES v. 1.12.200 and need links to some game cabs for it. Do I have the latest ver. of pocket SNES???.

Well since im awaiting the release of 4.0 maybe i can get my question answered. Im using 3.0 biggie and i cannot get mms to work. I have tryed everything listed in the 3.0 topic and some other things off of other websites. Was there ever a sure fire way to fix this problem? I am with t-mobile and downloaded the t-mobile mms.cab and the t-mobile network customizations.cab and still no go.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

[dumpydooby]

I didn't download any cabs to get mine to work. I'm also with T-Mobile.

I just followed the instructions in the video, including the part where you go to Settings->Connections->Connections. Refer to the first post and watch that video to see what I'm talking about.

Bad timing! My Wing screen randomly cracked yesterday, forcing me to pay a hefty fee and get a new phone. The new one should be arriving today, and I'll be stuck wondering if I should just install Open Touch 3.0 or wait for Open Touch 4.0 to hit.

Any ETA on just when 4.0 will be released?

Its currently being tested so it could be any day now.

[tyr0ne]

Damnit, the shit I'm about to say will probably bore you to death and sound weak as hell, but I'm long overdue.

ttran,

Before you released the debut version of Open Touch, I had a difficult time finding a rom to suit my needs. If I remember correctly, you used itje's Touch-It v2.3 as the base rom for v1.0. After flashing my Wing with v1.0, I was hooked. I wanted to see what surprises your next release would hold.

Didn't you drop the Touch-It rom for Open Touch v2.0 and begin using the stock T-Mobile rom? I can't recall. It seemed like you released v2.x updates so quickly that as soon as I'd get around to flashing the newest version, you'd have already posted a fresh release with more choices. That was bad ass.

You made an excellent decision by using the recently released WM 6.1 rom as the base rom for Open Touch v3.0. It seems faster and more stable than ever before. Not to mention the great new features such as threaded sms (Finally) implemented in WM 6.1. I believe that v3.0 is your best work yet. And now, after so much dedication and hard work, the upcoming release of v4.0 almost has everyone frenzying.

Your roms have transformed the bloated, stinking, pig that is T-Mobile's Wing into something I am proud to own. With the help of your roms, as well as a few freeware apps, I no longer feel as if T-Mobile ripped me a new one. All of the stock Wing users couldn't dream of the capabilities of the Wing once it's been liberated from all of T-Mobile's mostly useless, bloated, shitty software. An added bonus is that once BatteryStatus is configured properly, the Wing's performance is astonishing.

Thank you for all of the sacrifices, hard work, and dedication you've had for the community, man. You and your roms are very much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work and keep those high standards. You deserve beers. Lots of beers. I'll hook it up. Take it easy, chef, and thanks again.

[aad4321]

Their windows mobile programs, so they work with praticly any windows mobile phone. Though our wing may not have a built in gps, you can always connect a bluetooth gps to it.

Googlemaps has a decent gps built in, I've used it before and its about a few blocks off each time which is not bad.

[ttran001]

damnit...i retract my last comment...

I have a few of the releases done, but currently on a family vacation for spring break.
I will upload them on Monday, I think the biggy is ready without having to go through the beta testing.. I hope..heheh

I has been working fine for me for about two weeks now but then I did not use all of the features yet.

I know you folks are waiting and I thank you for using my roms, but we all know it's family first.. If I don't spend more time with my family, then my wife will not let me cook any more roms.

I would like to also thank the folks that recently and in the past have donated to me.

It's not about the money, it also helps me show my family that my rom cooking time (which is a lot of my personal time) is not going to waste since people are using my roms and do enjoy using them.

Thank you for all of the wonderful donations no matter what amount and thank you for using my roms when there are lots of great roms available.

[dumpydooby]

Google Maps doesn't use GPS to do that. GPS uses satellites to triangulate the position of a GPS device. Google Maps uses cell phone towers to effectively attempt the same thing.

Are there such programs for the Wing? I thought our phones don't have GPS...

Correct, I just purchased a bluetooth gps receiver to use with my wing.

Hi,

That is correct and thanks for clearing that up for me. My main point is if you don't have or want to buy a real gps device then it would be helpful as a free version of a gps.

Well since im awaiting the release of 4.0 maybe i can get my question answered. Im using 3.0 biggie and i cannot get mms to work. I have tryed everything listed in the 3.0 topic and some other things off of other websites. Was there ever a sure fire way to fix this problem? I am with t-mobile and downloaded the t-mobile mms.cab and the t-mobile network customizations.cab and still no go.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

after changing the settings for my address from (050) to (50) and my port settings from (:80) to (:8080) i soft reset the device and it started working. before that i was as frustrated as you. like you, i tried everything but it never worked. i am also with tmobile btw.

[roman2113]

I have a few of the releases done, but currently on a family vacation for spring break.
I will upload them on Monday, I think the biggy is ready without having to go through the beta testing.. I hope..heheh

I has been working fine for me for about two weeks now but then I did not use all of the features yet.

I know you folks are waiting and I thank you for using my roms, but we all know it's family first.. If I don't spend more time with my family, then my wife will not let me cook any more roms.

I would like to also thank the folks that recently and in the past have donated to me.

It's not about the money, it also helps me show my family that my rom cooking time (which is a lot of my personal time) is not going to waste since people are using my roms and do enjoy using them.

Thank you for all of the wonderful donations no matter what amount and thank you for using my roms when there are lots of great roms available.
You are correct TTRAN! Family First! Handle your business with your family. We can wait. Thank you for putting so much time into these roms for us. Without you our phones would not run as good as they do now.

[ElProempie]

If I don't spend more time with my family, then my wife will not let me cook any more roms.

hmm.. i thought cooking was something for womens. oh well, what you cook is GREAT. Tough, your right about the family part, we will wait because your work is worth waiting! :cool:

Keep It Up :D;)

yeah I have switched my address from .050 to 50 and changed my proxy to 8080, and countless other options. and still no consistent mms's. I have run the connections wizard, unchecked the retrieve messages automatically button in the mms options, changed server options, and searched and searched forums. my eyes hurt from the reading. lol. hopefully 4.0 fixes all of this for me. this is a great piece of work even with the mms flaw I am getting.

Monday happens to me my weekend. Looking forward to enjoying your next great piece of work!

I'm currently using a 6gb Micro SDHC with no problems.

Heya tran, just wondering how all's going bro and how close to launch you are.

If I may make one request, it would be for a super stripped version, even devoid of HTC Home. I've started with battery status themes, and I think the performance is better using that as a today plug instead of Home, plus I don't personally miss any of it's features. Coupled with Ultimate Launcher, I have grown to like it :D

I just released it last night but there seems to be some issues with MMS/SMS again. As for batterystatus I thought about that a few weeks ago and it does seem to work smoother. As for the Ultimate Launcher, I would rather not add any programs that people will need to pay to activate.

If you can come up with battery status theme that looks similar to the htc-home, that would be great.

Thanks bro,

I actually prefer a cleaner look to the (in my opinion) cluttered look of home and have a good idea that I'm trying to make happen. I'll post some screens of my theme so far. I'm just starting and still trying to figure some of it out. Made a clock with the SegoeUI font *hides from M$* and I really like it.

As far as UL - wasn't even asking for the inclusion bro, I totally understand on that front :D Just saying UL makes it schaweet :P


One thing you CAN help with is, do you know of a good stand-alone quick dialer kinda like what Home does that will just sit on the today screen? I want to throw that up on a UL tab, but haven't found any solution what so ever so far. Only thing I can think of is I think you can edit *.lnk's to do phone numbers, which UL can then use.

Oh, one more question/suggestion - have you thought about going with a different UI font? I installed Windows Live Mail or w/e which installs SegoeUI on your PC, which I then just copy/pasted onto my wing. Some reg edits later and I think it converted everything, not 100% sure though. Might be another way to be prett... oh sheet I forgot that's not our thing :D

I think my micro version would work great for you then. Its pretty much bare and gives you alot of space to work with.

This is the nicest I've found is This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1861127&postcount=64) ... However...the one i feel best suited for mass consumption can be viewed HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2013292&postcount=218) and downloaded HERE (http://rapidshare.com/files/98762532/HTC_Home_by_Blie_v1.1.rar). They both look similar,and are fully functional, theres just less options/confusion with the latter one.

Running Micro B1, Ult launcher, Benn Tech HTC home theme...well not that one This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1861193&postcount=67) one,. and WeatherPanel gives 26+megs free program after reboot. BS and WP being run as panels in UL.

You can also yous htc-streaming video if you install it by cabs.

I was new to this a couple days ago myself. I had never even heard of flashing, until I found this forum. I basically read a couple posts, figured out what to do and how to do it, and flashed my Wing over to this 4.0 release.

The release is amazing. It gives you new programs, new settings, makes the whole system more user friendly than the standard T-Mobile. There are additional games, threaded sms instead of standard, included Java with Opera Mini, a new media player, etc. This is an amazing rom that was very well done by ttran.

As I understand, it also includes a new 'radio' that will give you a better connection to T-Mobile's towers. I could be wrong with this, and would appreciate someone else clarifying what the 'radio' that is included does...

[ttran001]

I am probably being slow here, but how do I access the Cabs Center and the SMS setting that are shown in the screen shots?

I removed the cabs center, it works fine but takes up too much resources and until I'm able to figure out how to reduce the resource issue I will not add it back.

As for the sms settings that was removed during trouble shooting, this will be readded to the next update.

I really liked this rom but I was finding my battery would only last about a day so I went back to open touch 3.0 and im back to 3 days battery life. I dont know what it is about 4.0 that makes the battery so short lived. If its a setting or something somebody knows about please let me know and I'll go back to 4.0 Thanks

I had the same issue. I used to own a MDA and when this occurred I just flashed to oem rom and then flashed back to the rom that I wanted. I did the same thing to the Wing and it worked for me. battery life is back to 2+ days for me instead 1/2 a day.

yes I have noticed the email thing, but i think its because of the setup in my email settings that had to do with how long to keep messages .......i will try to confirm that tomorrow.

I just started noticing the email issue. Also I can't send emails thru my yahoo account anymore, and I would have to reset my phone to get Pic messages to come thru.

Another problem I am starting to have is my phone has be resetting by itself at odd times.
