[Out Dated] Open Touch v4.0 | WM 6.1 | T-Mobile Wing! | Updated 05/02/2008

[xander803]

One way around having wmplayer on the phone: You can download a music converter and convert the MP3s or WMAs to WAV files and then use them. I downloaded AllMusicConverter (http://www.allmusicconverter.com/includes/download_file.php?fn=AllMusicConverter&ftype=app_e) and converted over a hundred items. It's a demo copy so you have to use it right away after downloading it. I have all the ringtones from WM6 and WM6.1 I can upload in a CAB if anyone needs them.

Sure that'd be great!

still no luck flashing new micro> could someone post a how to on youtube?

Hello, I don't have a youtube for you, but since I recently hard-spl'd for the first time thought I share my experience. I will assume that you know what hard-spl is and that you have done that on your phone. If not, you should go back to the first couple of pages and read up here and other linked threads. After I hard-spl'd my phone and I placed the HERAIMG.NBH file on my SD card and followed the process outlined, it didn't work. I had to re-format my SD card (FAT32) which cleared all my back-up info, which I conveniently relocated to my laptop. Once the SD card was re-formatted I moved the .NBH file back over to my SD card and followed the step by step guide linked a couple of pages back. It worked.

I was wondering why it didn't work with my SD card the first time. Not sure if the problem was that there were so many other files ahead of the .NBH file on the card that maybe when I soft reset with the camera button pressed it didn't find the file fast enough and then went straight to boot loader.

At any rate, if you haven't flashed before, you might want to try one of the other versions first. That's how I started...

I flashed my Wing to the Open Touch V4.1 Micro for the first time this morning. Since my Wing was not Hard-SPLed before, I downloaded hard-spl rar and get the cannonyang.nbh. Using the same procedure to change the primary splash screen, I decompose the cannonyang.nbh, then only put the spl.nb to a new yang-spl.nbh. Flashed this spl to my Wing using Herald-USPL, and in half minute my Wing was hard SPLed. I then put the Open Touch Micro image in my SD card and it flashed smoothly without any issue. I attached the yang-spl.nbh in case someone wants to try it.

This rom is super fast compared to the original stock rom. The only problem I have is the NET CF 3.5 in the rom, which is not compatible with SQL CE 2 (required by the pocket e-sword and other software). I have to download the NET CF 2.0 and install it to run pocket e-sword.

TTran, is it possible to drop out NET CF 3.5, or make it an optional package for the Micro version?

Thanks for the great job done!

I thought about that as well. If some one could find me good working cabs for both NetCF 3.5 and 2.0 then I will do so on the next update.

Noted the new thread ttran. Thanks! Was it just me or was XDA super slow throughout the day?

Everything seems great so far, except one thing I've found:

If you bind anything other than <start menu> to the Windows hard key, it loses its binding after soft reset and defaults back to <start menu>. I was mapping SPB Mobile Shell 2's SPB Menu to it, and found that after soft reset, the key went back to default. No key mapping for the Windows key will remain as long as Quick Menu is running. I removed it from startup, soft reset, and now remaps seem to 'stick' fine.

This doesn't affect any of the other hard keys' mapping.

Great work on the ROM!! Enjoying it a lot now that I'm getting it tweaked to my taste.

Theres a quick menu option... something to the effect of "register win key of device" that controls that option. If you want your spb menu to work w/quick menu clear the check mark from quick menu options then map spb.

Hey guys how do I reassign the buttons? In vertical view, I'd like the left soft button to go into Calendar like it used to. I've looked at the Buttons command but there wasn't the option in there.

so what was the surprise in the new micro versions?

Latest windows 6.1 build.

[aaair_ric]

(I think I accidentally posted this originally in the wrong place, hopefully this is right now)

So this is my first time to flash something, and I feel silly asking, but I'm nervous that I'm going to brick my phone :confused:

I'm flashing the ttran's 4.0 Biggy with Touchflo to my Wing and I've been reading through the threads for awhile finally figuring out what an SPL is and where to find it, haha.

I was hoping some of yall could just verify what I'm supposed to do.

1. I back up my files/contacts on my wing to my laptop.
2. Download the 4.0 Biggy / WM 6.1 with Touchflo

And then follow these instructions by ivanmmj

__________________________________________________ ___

Step 1. Download Herald-USPL-Beta3. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4N36HLO

Step 2. UnZIP the file into a folder on your Desktop. Let's call it "MyFirstROM" for simplicity's sake. Notice that there is a folder called RUU within this folder now. Keep that in mind.

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.

Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe

Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.

* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.

Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.

________________________________________

After that I do the things/commands ttran lists at the end of his first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377939 .

And then I'm good to go? Any specific things to watch out for? I don't need to install hard-spl for this right? Sorry for the questions, but any responses/advice would be great!

Yep I think you good to go. But let me add 2 more things: make sure your phone is fully charge and turn off any screen saver on the computer. For the screen saver I feel safer just to be able to watch the progress bar going, but that just me :D

For the "thing to do", if you use those functions then follow his instructions if not you don't have to do it. You can always go back and set it up follow his instructions.

Good luck and let us know how it come out for you.

[nuron]

Also, could someone tell me why TCPMP is not showing any video? I have the AAC codec if that matters...

[prscott1]

Sure that'd be great!

Here are wav files of all the WM6 sounds. For the MICRO ROM users - drop the ones you want in your windows folder and then go to sounds and notifications and they can be seen in the sound choices.

Edit: I had to upload the sounds in 6 different zip files.

Thanks for the reply! I guess I should've specified that I had also already unticked all of the win-key options in Quick Menu... :(

Folks,

I'm currently busy working on v5.0 and finishing up all the different version of 4.0.

Please try and help each other on issues as most of them seem to be user error, not saying that all of them are.

I also notice that people are having a hard time flashing my roms, I think I need to spend some time and redo the FAQ since it does not seem to work well.

Here are a few snap shots of the upcoming version 5.0, due in mid May.



Please not that I'm still playing around with the setup shown in the snap shots, also I might replace the htc home with battery status but not sure yet.

Enjoy,

okay im jumping into the pool of flashing for the first time with my tmowing... using opentouchv4.0 ttrans version / wm 6.1 biggy version

Swipe your stylus or finger from top to bottom to start the cube.

Well so a bit later then expected for me I write my little essay on my first flashing:
I was on msn with papamops (thanx to him at this point) and started to prepare my phone.
He explains me everything and after 10 mins I'm ready to go and start the hard spl rom utility. After my device restarts and turns white active sync closes and disappears on my task bar. The romupdateutility says error 260.....shock! I ask papamops is that normal? :D He says ehm no try softreset. So I poke that little stylus in the hole and pray to god (Thanx god at this point :P) my phone starts up normal I guess this happened since the update process didnt start at all...Well at this point I didnt know if I should try it and risk my 350 euro or leave it :P but I'm a brave guy so i reinstall active sync let it just in guest mode and take away the cross in advanced stuff from usb-pc connection.
Start the utility again and this time I pray before...
Again it worx :) At 100 percent my lungs are empty but my device is hard spled :)
10 mins later I had open touch biggy with cube on my device :)
I really love it but the dialer is not my style and the cube doesnt work the way I wanted it to be...
So after one day today I flashed again (this time without any fears ) to biggy without cube. 6 hours later my phone now has its own cube with Ftouchflo s2u2 and some other stuff. And a nice new theme :P Audio manager didnt work so i dled the cab and now works fine. Batterystatus too btw dont know why but the programs wouldnt start so I installed them on my own.
I tried to figure out the whole day how to get youtube videos goin on my herald i got the plugin for tcpmp but it says some kind of protocol is missin is it impossible to get youtube videos goin on the herald or does someone know how to and can point me to the right place? Thanx beforehand

So thanx to papamops for his help and ttran for this beautiful ROM.

[robpet2]

Awsome rom so far ( definately faster and less memeory leaks compared to OEM tmo rom )... trying it out for a few days... a few issues so far :

The calculator skin makes the entries hard to see.
Audiomanager from htc home locks up device, but windows media player works good.

success! first flash ever, looks awesome! one question, I'm curious will slide to unlock interfere with the functionality of this rom?

[DrogenDiego]

No I'm running it on my device and it works great I put in my own wallpapers for the background and now if I push my power button it goes black and s2u2 activates so automatic device lock its neat :P
Very easy to install too!

Bump for this one too! I've tried switching the video codecs in the Options but they were all the same. Very fast rom ttran, the change time for vertical to horizontal mode is barely noticeable!


Also guys, in the Launcher, how can I add Comm Manager to there? It was not in the list of choices.

Aw snap, ActiveSync is not working once I plug in my phone,..what is going on...

Hello,

sorry for my noob question but i was away a long time and i have lost the plot. My phone is a HTC P4350 (Herald). Is there a new Version for my phone? My last version of open touch on my phone is an early beta of the first release. I think it is the first beta of open touch 1.0.

thanks for help

kindly regards

Check the first post.

ttran, a question if you will. Are you going to update the rest of the OT4 versions with the newest WM6.1 build?

[nextpimp]

@ttran.... here we grow again. Opera mini 4.1 is out. Supposedly opera mini now handles downloads and uploads itself. That means now I'll start to use it as opposed to 8.5. You can download it here (http://www.operamini.com/beta/)(PC) or here (http://mini.opera.com/beta) (PPC/handheld). Latest version of Esmertec Jbed can be found here. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2053333&postcount=564) And Last but not least UC "autocabs" v2 can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1896885&postcount=1)... Lets get back to "state of the art" :D

Might Try Out Opera Mini 4.1

[DrogenDiego]

Allright I have a problem :P
Today I tried to install a different dialer skin since the one implemented is not my stlye I have the biggy version and its that dialer with the blue background... So I got the htc dialer skin and some other ones. I installed the cab on my device and after softreset everythin looked fine when I had to enter the pin but after I clicked on the green phone button the real dialer opened and all the buttons were gone... So I can see the background and everythin but the 1,2,3 etc. buttons are just white... I can still click them and they work but it looks nasty ^^
Does someone know how to fix it? Will autocabs replace the dialer with the oriiginal one? thanx in advance

ttran, is the version of WM 6.1 the same as what Microsoft just announced? Would it be possible to make a version that has the home screen interface that they are demoing? You can see some screen shots here http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=189&p=242 and there are live demos on Youtube as well.

Not sure if it's a glitch or by design to save memory, but IE history clears itself every time IE is closed.

If this is intentional, is there a way to change it?

Hmmm. Well. I was surfing on IE no problem at the start. I was going to download pocketcm and then I received this -

one of the things that's different is the home screen.. which im sure probably runs slow as mud, with the official winmo 6.1.. ttran if you develop something like that let us know.
I really like the sms threading feature of this rom that im using, cause sometimes you forget what you sent to someone ( after a few drinks )...

there is a little bit of difference between the two... Windows version has a few new additions that are definately worth checking out... http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/01/velocity-mobile-springs-to-life-announces-pair-of-winmo-6-1-dev/

Hi,

Im working on v5.0 and still open for new ideas. I dont have time rite now to try and track stuff down. If some one can get a hold of the actual rom, I could strip it down and take the new apps.

I'm still testing and working on some stuff with the lastest release of wm6.1. Once I'm done I will update the rest of this current release.

Biggy, Lite, and etc

Don't worry I'm not going any where yet...

Just give me some time, Im currently in training and will not be able to work on any rom related stuff until next Monday.

Keep the post coming with new ideas and remember to post all issues in the other thread.

I will respond back as I have time.

Also, I you have donated thank you very much...

Donations are not required to use my roms and will never be required but always helpful.

Regards,

[robpet2]

a few things that some folks might need - Windows live ( cant acces hotmail from email set up ), option to change the skins for the calculator, dialpad, and windows media player... different background or color for the cube...

ok so i downloaded the new opera mini because i always hated how it opened pie to download files. how do i uninstall the old opera since it was built into the rom?

Thanks

[pseudoproto]

ttran, is the version of WM 6.1 the same as what Microsoft just announced? Would it be possible to make a version that has the home screen interface that they are demoing? You can see some screen shots here http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=189&p=242 and there are live demos on Youtube as well.

On the M$ site I saw the same interface for the 6.1 standard..not pro (read no touchscreen and touchscreen) I don't want a phone that's pretty as(in) a picture and slow as hell, I want it to function smoothly.

there is a little bit of difference between the two... Windows version has a few new additions that are defintely worth checking out... http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/01/velocity-mobile-springs-to-life-announces-pair-of-winmo-6-1-dev/
check out the way it works, very cool... even though ttrans rom is very smooth and fast...


That looks more like a custom today plugin.

You should be able to uninstall Opera Mini through the esmertec jbed. Have you noticed any big differences with the new beta?

Hey ttran, do you have a softkey cab? I noticed that the 4.0 vista style didn't have one. You are doing a great job....keep up the good work...

[Icy1906]

Hey ttran, I know that you're one of the hardest working people on this forum and I appreciate everything you have done. I was just wondering when you start the 5.0, will you consider cooking pocket sportscenter in your rom by scottymomo. It's a great little app....

[smithjustin8]

Hey Ttran, I was thinking about switching from the BIggy with VC and VS to the new micro, but I noticed that the new micro doesn't come with the Arcsoft MMS, does it have a messaging program built in, or will I need to provide one? If so, where can I get the cab for arcsoft? Thanks again for everything, I've loved your programs for the last two months!

Sorry, all my roms come with Arsoft MMS 4.2, I just did not included it in the listing.

haha, Ok, well, that's good to know, I just spent the last 2 hours digging it up and finally found a cab file for it. Guess I'll just hang on to that in case I need it in the future. All right... I just wish I could find the games you include as a cab file so I could install those...I just need something to keep me entertained without all the extra programs that come with the BIggy I have...:p

It's just like sportscenter. It scrolls all the game scores at the bottome of your phone. It has sports games scores like NCAA, NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS and the list goes on and on it. It also updates on its on.

It's freeware as well....by scottymomo

It's just another way to use UC. Look up UC and it will work pretty much the same way but when your ready.

I'm working on a fix for that.

much appreciated... just tried flashing back to the non cube version, and audio manager wasnt working... so flashing back to touch cube version....
Calculator skin would be HUGE...
other than that great rom...
dont really care for the cube, like spb mobile shell... might try micro or lite version of your rom in the future... waiting for the new build to come out before flashing again...

Hi all,

Sorry if I was unable to catch this in the 100 page thread lol, but how exactly do you flash the micro rom? I cant flash it with uspl, it says invalid file size. Can someone help me out? Thanks alot.

Hi all,

Follow the instructions for HARD-SPL.
Once completed

Format you sd card fat32
Copy the rom file to the root of your sd card.
Hold the camera button down and do not let go, perform a softreset with your finger on the camera button

A white screen will popup, and will say something about reading from sd.
Wait and it will prompt you to reply, which means you will slide the volume button which is located on the left hand side of the device downwards.

The process will then start, wait until it finishes and it will prompt you to press anything to continue.

Once you press any key, it will bring you to the rainbow screen which is the bootloader menu.

Perform another softreset with your stylist.

Enjoy,

Thanks for the quick reply ttran. I've never tried hard-spl but I think I'm going to give it a shot. If I somehow brick my phone in the Hard Spl prcess, will i be able to restore my phone with the t-mobile ruu? Or will I be completely screwed? Thanks alot man.

So after a lot of deliberation I found myself with a free evening and decided to flash my Wing for the first time. Everything went great, looks nice, except:

I've somehow busted my internet access!

I have the 5.99 tmobile tzones plan that worked beautifully with the proxy up until now. Suddenly, after flashing this ROM, I can only get POP and IMAP email. I know, it is strange. Wifi works fine for everything, but through EDGE/GPRS I can only get IMAP/POP email (nothing from my exchange server which I think required negotiating on port 80, and no surfing the net at all). This sounds suspiciously like port 80 blockage, but that seems ridiculous, doesn't it?

Any bright ideas? I don't want to have to flash back if I can avoid it...

[bowlopho]

you need the proxy hack its port 8080

the proxy hack is definitly whats wrong.....

try this: Start>settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections>proxy settings
if you ran the network setup wizard you should see T-Mobile Data: check box: this network connects to the internet. check box: this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.
check them both!
below that in the proxy server field, enter: 216.155.165.50
click advanced button>
tap Http and add> 216.155.165.50:8080
if Socks is not already filled in> tap socks and add> 216.155.165.50:1080

click ok to get back to today screen and soft reset. should be ready to go...

Ok, I bricked my phone good. All I get are two blue boot screens one has the windows flag and says Open Touch and the other says Windows Mobile 6.1 Open Touch edition customized by: ttran... these two screens cycle.

I've tried every trick to get into the bootloader and all I can get to is a blank screen and a solid green notification light.

I have tried holding down the power+camera and soft resetting
I have tried holding down the camera+voice and soft resetting

The only thing that gets me to the blank screen and green light is the power+camera and soft reset.

I really like to flash my new T-mo Wing with this Open Touch 4.0 but should I wait for the unlock code to unlock it first before flashing? If I flash it now, will I be able to unlock it later once the code has been issued to me?

Sounds to me like you have successfully flashed your phone. IMO it takes a little longer to get to the touchscreen setup than stock on a biggy rom. In other words just WAIT... it will soon say touch screen to setup your device. Also, Active sync WILL NOT recognize the bootloader... only the ruu will.

It cycled for over an hour and never went any further... should I have kept waiting?

I thought I had to get an activesync guest partnership in order to flash again? I don't? I'm really not usually this stupid, but apparently I know enough to be dangerous :-)

Ok, I've been successful in restoring the original TMO rom, but now when I try to use the RUU.exe to install any of the roms, including the first biggie rom I tried, I get an error 270 that says the file is corrupt. I know the original file worked... at least enough to get me through the first rom update and brick my phone. Now I can't even get through 2% before I get the corrupt error.

Any ideas how to get around this and get one of these installed on my phone?

Thanks!

Heather - STOP(before you do some real damage)! If you can still reboot the phone and get the cycling screens, take your memory card out and boot again. Then wait awhile and all should be good. Once you boot the first time, you can put the card back in.

I just went through the same thing as you Saturday! The memory card thing needs to be in the FAQ!

Oh my gosh... you mean the memory card was causing the problem??? Darn! I've already re-flashed my phone with the original TMO rom. So I have a boring run of the mill Wing at the moment. I only wish I could re-flash with the custom rom... but I can't get that far any longer... now I just get that the rom is corrupt and I reboot back into the TMO home screen.

Thanks for the heads up though!

Have you tried re-downloading the ROM file again? Does your Activesync still work? If not you could try re-loading that as well. Supposedly if you have a working Activesync, that's all you need to successfully flash....but's it's Windows we're talking about. :)

I was able to successfully flash the rom after doing a hard reset of the phone. I am now completely back up and running and LOVING the new rom... I'm not sure what the "cube" is, but I love the tweaks and I'm only disappointed that I waited nearly a year to attempt to do this... the whole time I've been hating my Wing and missing my MDA... even with the pagepool tweaks and things I had done to it in the past. Now that I know how easy it is to do a flash I won't be so hesitant.

My mother's wondering if there's something similar for the MDA... she's totally jealous :-)

I have installed several versions, however they all have the problem in which they scroll through the titles very quickly and infinately never playing any of the music at all. My theory is that it does not play the files because it somehow shares the playing capabilities with WMP, however since wmp is not installed either, does anyone ahve a cab file for it?

Have a couple beers on us!

EDIT: I mean, he still wants to use the 4.0 biggy with VC/VS, but he decided to put his phone in his back pocket and sat on it and the button went straight through the screen...Good thing he had it insured, I'm sure I'll have to reinstall everything for him when the new one comes in...

Then run the ROMUPdateUtility.exe it will flash your device with canonyang.nbh which is what they are refering to as the RUU.

Here are the notes from papa:

1. install canonyang.cab
2. install aserpolicy.cab
3- install disablesecurity.cab

4. SOFTRESET

5. run RUU from Hard-SPLWM6 folder verison 4.70.yang - ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6. screen will become white - WAIT until it reboots itselfe.
7. done!

After I install the cabs in the order listed. Before I run romupdateutility.exe, should I put my phone in bootloader mode? Or does it not make a difference?
Sorry for the dumb questions. (my first rom flashing)

hey, i tried for some time to get the touch dialers from all over xda to work on this rom and the only one i found that worked was this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312196:cool:

Does this work on Open Touch Micro 4.1? I think TTran said it was a special dialer and couldnt be skinned until he made one or something to that effect. I just need something besides the default dialer.

[shoong512]

hey ttran,
welcome back! hope everything was aight with you:D:D:D

hey i'm running open touch 4.0 biggy and when i overclock it, it would stay at that speed for a few moments. it would then start jumping around ..

ex. overclocked to 260mhz --> 221 mhz --> 247 mhz --> 201 mhz --> 143 mhz and it kinda stops there. i checked every box from remember OC on bootup wakeup etc ..

any idea whats going on?

Check the Battery Status options and see if the CPU Scaler is checked. It speeds up and slows down the CPU based on need.....and prolongs battery life.

ttran,
I'm glad to see that you are trying something different with the home screen for v5.0. Looks cool, can't wait! :)

[JLine05]

Well, Im back in the mix. Just got my Wing back from HTC. Seems that instead of just replacing my LCD, they sent me a whole new phone. Looks like I got a lot of work ahead of me.

I just finished creating the oem package for the new youtubeplay or youtubeplayer...

It's really cool, forget about the flashbundle deal...

Now, it's time to strip this new rom down and clean it up.

Hang tight folks,

cannot wait for the new rom...

and I have noticed a small memory leak in the biggy version but it still keeps the memory at around 13mb at all times which isnt too low compared to the oem tmo rom - which would go as low as 1mb and then lock up and force you to do a soft reset...

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Just run the Oxios Memory to free up some ram instead of softresting.

Sorry,

Too many pm in the queue and too many issues at home.

I'm also going to include the wm7 theme with the rom but the default will be black since it make it look smoother.

[robpet2]

when i run oxios memory it frees up between 1 - 3mb... but I soft reset about once or twice every other day... nothing major unless im running some big apps like guitar hero 3

With the upcoming 3G from TMO in May (see http://tmonews.com/?p=51) I was just wondering.. Is 3G and/or HSDPA something that can be implemented via software (i.e. OT v5.0?) or does it require all new hardware to support it?

hi all i installed the Biggy and its been great so far. The only two things i have problems with are the Voice Dial not working (it wouldnt let me go to the settings it exits out once i start it) ans also the HTC Organizer takes me to MMS when i press the button for new email.

Does anyone have the same issues and if so how did you fix it if you did?

Thanks!

[cooldeveloper]

Is there any way of uninstalling some programs from here? I only want to uninstall Glossy Black Bars and TCPMP.

[simplicity05]

Heya tran!

Just wanted to make a request for 5.0 micro:

Please do not release the rom without full audio support. I don't know if I speak for anyone else, but I'd rather lose a little bit of space and speed in order to get back the ability to set a ringtone and play music.

Also -

Can someone please throw up links showing how to customize dialer/calculator/wmp.

Folks,

I notice that there have been so many issues with this current build, I'm going to go back to the tmobile rom. I'm going to cook up an new update to the current version with the tmobile rom.

Give me a few days as my schedule has changed with work and home.
It might run a little slower then the current one but it will be more stable as with v3.0.

Im really puzzled by all these problems that people are having. My phone is running better than ever.

No problems here. 0_o

[robpet2]

i havent been having any real problems... except for with batterystatus ( only after a soft reset - but this is only once in a blue moon.. )
and thats really it, havent had any other problems..
another gripe is the calculator skin on the rom, but i downloaded 1calc and use that....
most of the problems people are having are probably related to the other programs that they are putting on the phone... SLide to unlock will give u problems, so i just installed spb shell 2.0

[v2comp]

yep S2U2 was creating all kinds of havoc for me., I uninstalled it and the problems went away.....

Ok so Ive been reading this thread all day made it to page 37 while at work and I think Im ready to give this a go. I am a super novice at this and my phone is still like new must I unlock the phone prior or should I just start with the instructions listed on the front page?

No need for unlocking, just go for the instructions on the front page. Have fun :D

[CAJBarnes]

Cool thanks alot, I do have another question. I flashed the rom and everything seems to be working great except I cant get on the internet. each time it says " Cannot connect with current connection settings.to change your connection settings tap settings." Now once in settings Im not sure how to set it up for the normal tmobile internet plan that Im used to.

[CAJBarnes]

nevermind just took some extra searching, found the network wizard and everything is golden. This is a great rom I really love so far:D

Just checking back in about the issue with IE's history clearing every time IE is closed. I've verified this with 4.0 Biggy Vista as well.

Anyone else having this prob?

i CANT DO THIS WHOLE Flashing with SD card...i formated the sd card by FAT then transfered the nbh for 4.0 micro onto the sd card....then i put the sd in the phone...and i held the camera button while i soft reset with the stylus...in the lil hole on the side , and i held the camera button until some screen poped up for a quick second it said something about the SD card and it just showed me the bootloader screen..and thats all it does...

What you need to do is install WMStorage.cab and format the Sd card to FAT32 using WMStorage. For some reason my memory card reader on my laptop would never format it correctly.

im actually cool with the history being removed after closing IE.... no the issue i have is with the memory leak... this is the only major gripe i have with the rom, and also that after a soft reset i cant touch the wing for about 2-3 minutes if i do it locks up if i try and run a app... weird..

[shep211]

I just want to give my users a different choice instead of the htc-home.

[xboxhaxorz]

the new update looks great, except i would rather have the missed call messages etc on the home screen

any way you can incorporate ftouchsl and/ or the new cube made by slither[sclpc++] it looks way better than the original cube as well the sftouchl is more smoother its as if they upgraded the scrolling as it seems much easier to scroll now

would be great but not really necessary
several dial skins, keyboard skins contact skins such as icontact or vito fun contacts

touchpal keyboard looked lik a great skin but i wasnt able to use it on the biggy rom

what page of this thread contains the latest release of this ROM? There are so many pages in the thread I've gotten lost.. i've been searching through posts and just can't find the latest version update! can someone point me to the page? I'd perfer the most stripped down version, but if the big version is more stable, I'd rather that. The ROM being stable is #1 for me.

Thanks for the help,

[mikeybags]

Just put this on my phone, and love it. Great job ttran.

I have a question though. I accidentally started the "glossy black bars" program while messing with things, and decided to switch back so I went to my today settings and set it back to the default theme. The problem is that any time I reset my phone the black bars reappear and I need to change themes again. Is there any way to turn them off until I want them back on again?

Also, in case ttran reads these posts....I like the today screen in this rom alot, but the one that you have set as your avatar really intrigues me. Is that something that's available for download or use anywhere on here, or part of one of your roms, or anything like that?

[Phawkes]

Im having the same glossy bar issue as mikey and its really keeping me from soft reseting my phone or turning it off, anyone have an idea what happened?

The Wing (which this ROM was made for) and the Herald do have different key mappings. There is a fix posted on the forum, I don't have a link, but it was easy enough to find last time I searched. BTW, there's a separate thread for posting problems/issues with this ROM.

I remembered Tran said that the micro have to be flash using the sd because of the size limitation.

Did you format your sd card as FAT32? Did you save the file at the root of your sd card? I flashed the micro 3 times on 2 Wigns without any problem so far.

yea i did on my laptop...and it still doesnt work...and i followed the steps numerous times..when i do it shows some white screen for a quick second saying something about sd card..and then it goes right to the bootloader screen..

Try this,

Reformat your sd card from your laptop but do no use the "quick format" option. I encounter that problem when I first flashing the micro but I reformat the sd and uncheck the "quick format" option. Also I use the usb adapter when connect the sd to my computer.

[mcdavey]

Was there ever a fix for the humming screen released? read around 10 or 11 pages front and back and didnt see anything. (like 5 after first and 6 before last)

I'm about to download "Open Touch Biggy Vista 2.rar" and flash it on my Wing.. Since this 4.0 release has there been any files released to fix any bugs the ROM might have?

Try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267475) link out, it's how to format the SD card. I just happened to have a 1gig SD laying around and flashed from there.

When you run it, it automatically sets itself to start on boot.

So I havent really been Keeping up with this thread but I am super curious. What is the wm7 theme that ttran has on his top left icon? Is this theme included in a rom that he currently has released or is it something of his he hasnt released? I really like the theme and style with the clock and icons, seems very user friendly.

anybody know?

[sippy_mo]

I'm pretty new at this. But I gotta say, ttran, the installation process is so freaking easy. Most commercial software is not this solid.

Folks,

The first page has been updated with the PoinUI Lite version.

Why cook it into the rom when you can install the cab?

Why not, it runs faster and it will auto start instead of you having to create short cuts and etc.

This version has the same build as the mirco so you know it will be fast and stable.

I'm working on porting the next latest version but have not had any free time yet.

Getting over my sickness so please hang in there with me.

Let me know what you think, since I'm currently running the same version but with the touchflo cube.

Regards,

Ive always loved and lived by ttrans roms ever since day one and he never fails!

[shoong512]

Comments: Really good job ttran, it scared me when the point UI screen came
up and i touched it and it dispersed lol.

pros: loving the new splash screen (very creative ;))
Point UI very useful and looks good! good job!
Great organization and much better home screen
Youtube Player is the SHIT!!
Its nice because its like the iphone of microsoft

cons: Missing some programs
-battery status
Also how do i get sound from the you tube player? i can't seem to find the setting and i turned my volume all
the way up too ..

question: for the weather option it seems pretty accurate for where i am, but i \do not have the
edge as i operate through wifi, is this feature just a set screen shot or is it really connected? when i check
my comm manager it doesn't show that my data connection is on. Also the splash screen says v5.0, but is
it suppose to be 4.5?

[infamous54]

I'm working on porting the next latest version but have not had any free time yet.

Getting over my sickness so please hang in there with me.

Let me know what you think, since I'm currently running the same version but with the touchflo cube.

Regards,

I had major battery issues with the micro. So does that mean the lite will have the same problem?

[ttran001]

Is this running pointui 1.5a?

Yes that is correct bro,

Hi,

Battery drain is mainly due to the raido and not the rom.
I've also updated the radio so your issues should be resolved.
If not please let me know since I've also posted the radio from my v3.0 rom on the first page.

Just noticed a bug with the dialer. If I hit the green call button to open the dialer, the sip button appears over on the far right side of the bottom "task" bar. Then, when I hit the red end call button, it doesn't go back to PointUI home. I have to manually go start menu -> PointUI Home.

Also, anyone have a good page of themes for PUI?

Hi,

worse case just softreset and it will start the alignment process again.
Then simply click on the screen and the pointui screen should go away and the screen alignment should start.

The problem finder..hehehe

I will replace the dialer with the standard HTC one on the next update.

Thanks bro,

[mrmikemcguire]

Thanks,

I assumed it was something of that nature...i did a soft reset and it did the same thing. On the second try it worked.

Thanks

[JLine05]

Yes that is correct bro,

Cool. Looks like I'm going to have to flash it then.

[mrmikemcguire]

Thanks bro,

lol

And... ack, I actually prefer the vista style one or w/e it is with 4.5. If you could just fix that sip button it would be great.

Any way to have it auto-switch back to the pointUI home after a call?

Now thats the strange part, mine works fine...hehehe
There are setting within the pointui custom section for you to change.

[ttran001]

ttran,

so do you already have some preset setting for the theme in you avatar?? thats the main reason that I flashed, I think the look and usability is nice.

No,

This is the pointui version and not the one from my avatar.. That will be v5.0 which i will release in a few weeks.

[mrmikemcguire]

ah ok.... i'll be waiting then.

Also, the icon on the homescreen for the email goes to my outlook... can i use that icon for my gmail instead?? if so, were do i edit the shortcut?

Thanks again!

[simplicity05]

I just found that setting and switched it to "Show home screen after call". If I actually make a call, it will go back to the home screen, but if I just open the dialer and then close it w/o making a call, it shows the today screen.

[infamous54]

im using pointui on the vista rom.

is there anyway i can make it my permanent official homescreen?

go to the pointui settings and set it so that it shows PointUI Home when calls are ended.


also i can't get sound out of the youtube player .. my volume is all the way up and i can't find settings for it.

ok, I've read the first posts a hundred times now and I'm only getting more confused. I know I need to understand this before making the flash to the new ROM so let me ask a question or two before attempting.

I want to flash the OT 4.0 Biggy w/Cube ROM. But when reading, it says I should flash the HERALD-USPL-beta3. Do I flash the HERALD-USPL-beta3 then how do I get the OT 4.0 biggy on there? What am I missing here? I always thought I was pretty good with understanding computers... guess not.

First you have to flash Herald-USPL-beta3. The reason for this is because it will allow you to load home cooked ROM's and not "brick" your phone.

Then flash OT 4.0 or whatever ROM you want. You only have to flash the USPL once after that you can flash as many ROMs and times as you want. It is pretty straight forward after the first time.

[Toxis]

sounds good. So I need to save the file on my computer but do I unzip it on the computer or on the phone? It says download it but I'm guessing it means to the phone. All the file moving it asks for, on the phone with file explorer?

[neoobs]

unzip it to your computer... inside you should see an exe in a folder with a nbh file... The nbh is the actual rom itself... the exe (usually ROM or something similar) is the program that helps flash the device. If you ever get stuck do a softreset while holding the camera button and that will take you to the bootloader and then you can try running the ROM.exe

[dewittk]

Follow the instructions for HARD-SPL.
Once completed

Format you sd card fat32
Copy the rom file to the root of your sd card.
Hold the camera button down and do not let go, perform a softreset with your finger on the camera button

A white screen will popup, and will say something about reading from sd.
Wait and it will prompt you to reply, which means you will slide the volume button which is located on the left hand side of the device downwards.

The process will then start, wait until it finishes and it will prompt you to press anything to continue.

Once you press any key, it will bring you to the rainbow screen which is the bootloader menu.

Perform another softreset with your stylist.

Enjoy,

I have tried to do this step, i put the file on the root directory of the micro sd card, i hold the camera button, it says "looking for SD card" but then it gotes into boot loader mode (rainbow screen) and will not do anything else. i do not let go of the camera button at all. Please help. (trying to do mirco version)
