Guys who are having problems:

Make sure to try hard resetting both the manual hardware way (by holding down keys on boot and selecting delte), then also the software way (opening the clear storage cp item in settings).

THEN, let it boot all the way up, let it do all customizations. After full boot-up, give it a soft-reset.

After that, be sure that you are on the right radio / rom / drivers everything.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER that...test and report bugs, DO NO NOT INSTALL ANY SOFTWARE OR APPLY ANY REGISTRY FIXES OR ANYTHING...

Report bugs etc after that, only then can we really be testing accurately.

Great rom laurentius, thanks,
Jim.

If you downloaded the rom you have one RAR.
After unpacking you will have one MAP with two files in it (NOT MORE !!!)

Ok a few issues with 7.3, followed instructions as per previous poster:

- Can't get youtube app to work at all - gives Error cannot play the file
- Phone has locked up twice when navigating Manilla menus - required battery back off to soft reset. This is actually the first time I've had a lock up since owning the HD
- Generally feels sluggish in general use compared to v7.0-7.2 but could be my imagination

Ringtones seem to be working though.

Not quite there yet I think.

Hello everybody,

My own review:

Youtube work
Inernet Explorer flash and Youtube works
ICR software works
Ringtones work
Advanced Config works

EVERYTHING WORKS !!!!

The rom is fast and stable.

THE BASE IS BUGFREE, I'M GOING TO RELEASE SOME OTHER LANGUAGES IN THE NEXT DAYS.

Have fun with the rom.

Grtz,

Leo :p:p:p

Bro, sorry but ... ringtone bug seems to be still there. Just ran into it for the first time ever :-)
Alright, I got 7.3 flashed yday evening. Installed apps are:

- Active Sync Killer
- S2U2 1.42
- G-Alarm 1.42
- Weather Database Editor
- AE Button Plus 2.6.5
- Navigon MN7.3.1

That's it. Got my ringtones in \My Documents\My Ringtones as usual. Using mp3 file for default ringtone. Just tried to call my HD from a landline, Ringtone = No Go. Checked settings, and the ringtone set itself back to the standard WM ringtone. But not even that is making any noise ;-)

Ok, well I myself have yet to download it (am on V7 and don't see any significant improvements just yet, I will probably flash on next version, because all the updates / fixes put together will make it worth it)....anyway:

You should only have to worry about one file, and that is the .nbh file. Just forget the others.

Place the .nbh file on your storage card, rename it to BLACIMG.nbh. Then power down your phone with the storage card inside.
Then hold down both the up and the down buttons very firmly, and press the power button. After the menu comes up, just go ahead and do it (press the power button again).

EDIT (instructions from Duttys thread):
1.Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
2. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
3. Turn off your device by using the Power Button
4. Go to bootloader mode ( Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button ).
5. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
6. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.

And always remember that its always a good idea to hard reset right after a flash!

So, have 7.3 on, still indeed some issues.
Installed V7.3 with the included radio (1.10).
After install hard reset etc etc.
Installed Thumbcal and Icontact, nothing big.

In the Youtube application, sometimes: error, cannot play the file. Sometimes no sound and sometimes it plays ok.
Had the ringtone bug twice yet, ringtone back to windows ringtone.
Soft reset: works again.

The ROM does really feel very fast, no slugginess here.

But ringtone and Youtube give some problems, so better no release for all languages untill it's fixed!

BTW: Nice and fast ROM! I really like it!

Reuploading the rom because I understand it could be confusing for people after unpacking the rom.

Old situation 3 files inside the map:

BlackStoneCustomRUU.exe

RUU_Signed.nbh

L26_THDV7.3_WWE.rar (This is the one I forgot to remove with all ruu tools inside)

I will remove the third file and reupload the rom for the people who got confused.

Use "BlackStoneCustomRUU.exe" to flash the rom.

How to flash a rom is described in the wiki and post #4 where you download the rom.

Thank you,

Leo :)

why r you guys all confused about how many files are within that rar file? all should see it when u click and begin flashing! those r either hidden or temp files being extracted and u should not worry about it. just wanna make things clear and it is not to be a problem that's all.

28th January 2009, 11:32 AM

just tried to call the HD from two different numbers:

almost immediately the screen wakes up (with the first beep)
sound beginning between first and second beep, delay I would say1-2 seconds... thats ok for me :)

have to add, that I'm experimenting with Yota Contacts, so any delay could be also due to this program

i am starting to believe that the youtube is caused by certain videos. and is random. you do not need to soft reset as closing it and restarting it will get u back the sound. are any of your youtube stuttering/skipping while it buffers? my is smooth only when the video is finished buffering....oh well, still not quite yet iphone standards there....

28th January 2009, 11:48 AM

Flashed from v6 to v7.3. No problems so far, and absolutely no ringtone problem.

It seems to take longer to get coverage after soft reset, though. I don't get it, both v6 and v7.3 use the same radio?? However, it is very minor. The rom is quick overall, and I don't soft reset often.

I have seen a few people keep complaining about the ring tone and youtube so I tried to recreate the ring tone and youtube problems while watching the Australian Open, Nadal vs Simon.

I have no ring tone problem so far, but I did run into one "minor" problem with youtube but I think I have resolved that.

First try, youtube plays high quality video with sound just fine, reset, and retry, cannot play movie, try same clip again without reset yet, notice the quality is low but no sound, reset again, try youtube again, play fine with sound but low quality, reset the video quality to high, after that, haven't had any problem so far even after many reset. Ring is fine after each reset and I can also choose any ring tone.

My guess is the auto-select may cause youtube not playing and crash. Just a guess.

Other than that, no problem so far to report. Fantastic ROM, highly recommended and, please Leos, no more new releases this week.....

Thanx for the great ROM

Hi,

Youtube problem's are caused by the radio you choose.

I'm on radio 1.10.25.25 and have no Youtube problem at all.

Sounds and Video are very clear!

Thank you for the compliment's.

Grtz,

Leo :):):)

Check post #1222:

I've done some testing on v7.3 with Youtube. On radio rom v 1.09.25.35, Youtube gave me an error: Can not play the video.
I flashed Radio 1.10.25.25 and Youtube worked again.

I have no ringtone bugs, everything is fast and stable.

This version is the fastest most stable till now. I'll stick with it for a while. :)

Damn! Just had the ringtone failure. Called my number and saw on the display that a call is incoming, but no ringtone and the phone did not vibrate, although I set it to ring and vibrate. Earlier this morning it worked as it should, now all of a sudden it does not.

Really a shame, but thats a showstopper for me. Will have to try another rom:(

Using 7.3 with the following apps installed

S2U2 1.4
G-alarm 1.4
Weather database editor
BJK HTC EzInput 1.5 LPack-DE RTW
Camel HTC_HD_Dialer_v1.1_Black
CorePlayer
eLiAs ASyncKiller
ThumbCal
Resco Explorer

and a few visual tweaks, that i have been using since i boght my HD and never had a problem till now.

I know this is a frustrating bug, as it is not easy to reproduce, but nevertheless it is a showstopper...

No YouTube problem on my device on 7.3, it did not work with V6 (I had full coverage). No changes made yet.

Btw, I prefer having longer haptic feedback. After flashing I always change from 25ms to 50ms in touchresponse settings. Why did you decrease this from v4?

A couple of suggestions for next version:

HD tweak: Change 1.7 (Ring time) to "without delay"(!!). Change 3.4 (FM radio reception) to "improve", 15.1 (x button in htc album) to "turn program off", 18.1 (file system cache) to "normal" (is it deliberate that this hasn't been done?), enable AGPS in 18.5

Green volume control: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3093813&postcount=2 (cab included in post #5)

Black dialer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472398

Of course, these are easy changes to make for those who want, but I think including them in the rom would make it closer to perfect.

Just add a notice in the first post, stating that a few users are experiencing this bug, and you dont know what causes it yet, but you will fix it as soon as the cause is found. Then no one can complain. I have been using it since v4 without experiencing the bug.

cybermaus

28th January 2009, 01:18 PM

Maybe the focus on the ring bug is a little unfair.

I still have the vanilla factory ROM (1.14 NLD) and I have at occasion seen the same: I see the call incoming on my phone, but it is not making any sound. And I mean not just for the first few seconds, but not at all.

So it may not be related to anything Leo has cooked, but deeper in the phone or WM, but now all our focus is on it, it is suddenly recognized everywhere. Sort of a reversed placebo effect.

Hi,

The Youtube package that comes with this rom I didn't touch at all and is default HTC.

I can play Youtube movies over and over again without any problem what so ever.

Maybe it's your Operator or maybe it's the Youtube website but atm I don't have advise for you untill I notice myself.

Radio 1.10.25.25 is the radio I've included in rom so I don't understand why you reflashed the radio. :confused:

Radio 1.10.35.25 I don't know but I think you made a mistake with writing.

Grtz,

Leo :)

:) Hi Leo,

Sorry to make you confused as I've read from a friend here that it might be the built-in radio caused the problem and "reflashed to the same radio version 1.10.25.25" may solve it out. But my attempt failed as i said earlier.

And for your lifetime sucked by this ROM cooking please hold it on for a while as your ROM is my favourite to have on my devices since my time in Kaiser. Do not give it up by this kind of problem, I'm here to put your ROM on my device as I like it that way. Super thanks for your time. Wish you and your family all the best in the Luna New Year.:D

I can't take it anymore. :(

Have fun with the last rom I cooked for the community I'm going to cook for myself.

Sorry for the people who supported me but this is enough.

This is eating to much of my time and my life!

Solong,

Leo :(

Hi Leo,

just my opinion, leave this 7.3 ROM around until everyone find out the bugs if it will have some and come back a week later, it is no point to change it every time someone find a bug, what do you think??
And also you don't need to spend that much time everyday to create new and new ROMs. I can absolutely understand you that this effects your personal life.

This was just my opinion!

BTW u ROM is the best so far! ;)

That's by far the most nasty remark I've seen on XDA.
This guy works his ass off for a solid ROM.

Please remove your post.

The crown for the best performance ROM...

There's always a winner in life, get used to it!

MHoefler

28th January 2009, 02:07 PM

there is no crown, the cookers are not competing against anyone. they compete with the device's problems and we all benefit. why do you want to pit them against each other when YOU will lose out?

damn, i wish there was a "downmod" button!

Although there is no competition, there is always a best one! That's life, get used to it! This ROM was (and still is) the best, because of its speed and stability. However, if the author stops supporting it, it will not be the best for a long time...

And BTW: it's "cooks", not "cookers"!!! A cooker is a device that cooks stuff, like a boiler, etc. Whereas a cook is a person who cooks...

so you believe it's simply nature and we should "get used to it" ? would you like someone to be offended to the extent they hurt you, perfectly natural, just "life happening". get used to it.

thanks for pointing out the glaring mistake in my grammar, i'm not as good with English as the other 3 languages i speak. i hope you can forgive my enormous error that prevented you from understanding.

rom v7.3 is bugfree!!

also the difference in video playback from v7.2 is big!!

i have no errors or bugs!!

either with v7.2 i had,ecxept the bad video playback..

i tried the rom with 3 radios and everything goes stable and fast.
just for psychological reasons i prefer the 1.09.25.14 radio.
seems to have better battery performance..

for another one time thanks Leo for your work!!!

i don't like your choise to leave us,but i have to respect it ....

for me,your last rom is good enough,to continue live peacefully :D with my HD!!;)

Regards from Greece Dimitris :)

may I please ask for the international versions of 7.3 :rolleyes: :)
I think I will totally be happy with 7.3GER till rest of time :D

as I mentioned before, V 7.3. for me is bugfree (as several other Versions before) and could thus be frozen. I flash only for fun and playing around the new versions looking for those little improvements...

and good luck for all the ROM-Darwinists out there :D

Hi,

Youtube problem's are caused by the radio you choose.

I'm on radio 1.10.25.25 and have no Youtube problem at all.

Sounds and Video are very clear!

Thank you for the compliment's.

Grtz,

Leo :):):)

Check post #1222:

I am using 1.10.25.25, after change the Video Quality setting to "High Quality", Youtubes plays HD clips without stutter, very smooth. So far, No problem at all... Thank you for your great work.

i'm with you.... this is enough.... thanks for your works and for me the 7.3 version is perfect, i don't have problem now all works. and if i install other software and have problems...this is my problem non LAURENTIU'S PROBLEM!!!!!!!! ciao

I don't understand why you people install such programs like 'eLiAs ASyncKiller'... don't you know the fake server trick to kill ActiveSync definitively ?

You have no clue what ya talking about, do you?
The fake server doesn't do shit when you disconnect from a PC, Active Sync keeps running. How should your fake server trick kill active sync on disconnect? Curious how you are gonna to pull this off with your infamous fake server ;-)

Such programs just kill the stability of the ROM.

I am using the L26_THDV6 FRE and I think it is a great ROM.
I am just waiting for the french version of the V7.3 and I will flash it.

You have done a great job with your ROM, Laurentius!
Thank you very much.

And to all people experiencing problems, stop trying tweaking your settings after flashing such a good ROM! All is already optimized for better performance and stability!

i use fake server WITH elias asynckiller and with task manager v2.9 i have disable repllog.exe(AppRunAfterTimeChange )in notifications session..

is the best way to keep active synch away from opening without reason any time..

tip...
for years now i never use activesynch to synchronize my contacts,email,tasks etc..

i just use spb backup and pim backup for this:)

Had two bugs mentioned here with the 7.3 rom. The no ringtone when recieving call and youtube player refusing to play videoes over wifi. What I did was basicly changing back and fourth the ringtones under settings and enabling vibration then after a soft reset it worked (tried soft reset earlier) and has kept on working ever since. With youtube I simply shut of the phone with wifi enabled and strangely it worked ok.
Hope this could be of some help.

as for you Laurentius take a good break, you deserve it, cooking all night like you have done the past weeks. :) Need you back in top condition when 6.5 hits us ;)

I'm not en frequent poster (mainly because I don't often have useful info to add). But I felt the need to post this message.
I can totally understand your reaction. Your last rom I downloaded was 7.1 and haven't had the chance to install it yet and now I see you already got to 7.3.
This means, that you put a lot of time en effort in this community to make our nice phone's great devices.
I really appreciate it a lot!!!!!
I read a lot of complaint about not working ringtones youtube problems etc. Even after you explained to test your latest rom as is without installing apps or modifying settings. Most if the complaints are totally useless for troubleshooting, because they ignored previous posts or don't post enough info. This must be very frustrating, especially since you worked so hard to fix the bugs.
Even after you posted discontinuing this project, post like “can you fix this or that……… by the way thank you” kept appearing. I myself am getting annoyed by this so can’t even imagine how it must be for you.
What I actually wanted to say:
I (and a lot of others ) will totally understand if you’ll stop cooking. But it will be a tremendous loss for this community.
I hope you’ll join us soon after en well deserved break.
Leo DANK JE WEL VOOR ALLE TIJD EN ENERGIE (en hopelijk tot gauw)
Thank you again for everything

Btw. Just flashed 7.3 and IT ROCKS!!!

But I know that the cooking bug will never stop "bugging" you, and very soon you will be back! Again, thank you for the great service to the community! I wish you well.

Interesting. As I mentioned, a few times I had the same no-ring tone in my factory 1.14 ROM, and in fact I solved it in the same way. Makes it extra likely it is unrelated to cooking.

Is there anyone who can help me. when i setup my hotmail it redirects me to hotmail using opera. It used to show the emails in touchflo any know how i can fix this?

just setup first your windows live account ..

in instalation progress in 4th step uncheck !! the contacts synchronization because the app adds all your messnger and windows live contacts in your phonebook!!
in 5th step the app will synchronize the hotmail account,so at end of progress,the hotmail account shows up in your mail accounts :)

I just did this but doesn't work.

step one, I enter my email adres and password, then pres next and it says.

settings found for:

Hotmail.com

to complete setup and download email, click next.

If I pres next it wil open opera and go to mobile hotmail page. Instead of going to the next page etc....

Anyone having trouble with Opera Mobile:

Install v. 9.51b2 from Opera.com: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/?man=Windows+Mobile+5.0+Pocket+PC&ver=9.51b2&heading=Windows%20Mobile%205/6%20Pocket%20PC&img=/bitmaps/products/mobile/platform/951b2.gif&extra=Touchscreen-based%20devices%20only.%20Last%20updated:%2020.10. 2008

I just installed and it seems very stable and also faster than 9.5.

(Or use Opera Mini, which I prefer over both Opera Mobile and PIE.)

and this is the all true...

Laurentious26 decided to stop development of this project and just go for a beer in a bar... and not in his house ...with his friends and girlfriend...

28th January 2009, 07:20 PM

First of all, I'd also like to join most of the community and thank you for your fantastic work. I've been using your ROM ever since I have gotten my HD and am still loving your work.

I really hope you will reconsider your decision and just ignore those stupid remarks. Some noobs do not know how to use the search funtion...

To your "ringtone" bug I'd like to add a very interesting comment as well. I spoke to a friend of mine who owns a Diamond. He told me he is very happy with the device (original t-mob software) just had one problem: every now and then his device does not ring!!!!!!! Exactly the same problem as all the guys here are describing and that on a stock Diamond. It is therefore clear to me that this problem is not a result of your cooking, but a deeper problem in the HTC devices.

BTW: a soft-reset resolves the issue. Everyone using Windows Mobile devices know a soft reset does miracles every now and then and just because the devices and software are newer, the base is the same. Therefore anyone expecting not to soft-reset a windows mobile device every now and then, should dream on elsewhere....

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!!!!

PS. why can't everyone stop with namecalling and all of this negative shit, no one needs this in a forum like this, please keep it positive and respect each other...

I agree. If it wasn't for this rom and such. I probably would have ended up selling the phone and going a different route. The roms simplified all the extra things I had to install and customize. This rom definately speed the phone up and made it a much better phone rather than stock.

I do hope you do consider returning and continuning your progress on this rom as I and it seems like many others appreciate your hard work.

MHoefler

No, the problem is that people comment on things without reading or knowing the whole story. I will not let somebody insult me (or question the educational abilities of my mother), who has obviously no idea what he's talking about. Sorry, but I expect people who comment my positings to read and understand them before making a statement.

I do really appreciate Laurentius work and I did say several times that his ROM is currently the best. So it is a pity, that he doesn't want to continue developing it - that's my opinion!

And there's nothing offensive or insulting in my humouristic comment "the king is dead, long live the king!" People who thing that's inappropriate probably don't understand the phrase?

when you provoke someone saying "That's life, get used to it!" when they've lost a loved one, you can expect defense. so why do you believe " I will not let somebody insult me" while you call people MORON ?

Yes - everyone is done. And now Leo is as well. I hope your guys are really proud of yourselves. This guy does countless hours of testing, tweaking and cooking and this is how you guys repay him. Well done everyone.

Here's the issue with XDA lately and it's not just this thread that it's happening. The problem is that everyone reports a bug but noone tries to assist in fixing it. Everyone expects the cook to be all-knowing and be able to fix himself. However, these people have lives as well. They have families and jobs and don't have 24 hours in a day to just sit here on the thread and wait for people to report bugs so they have something to do. So, everyone complains, cries and whines about their issues and never once says what apps they have installed, uninstalled, what regs they have changed or files they have added or deleted and then wonder why the chef doesn't have the issue and why he can't fix it. Then when the chef gets upset. Then, when they do get upset then the "Thank You's" come. Did it ever occur to anyone to thank the chef when the rom worked? No, when it works you don't post and when it doesn't work you post complaints. :rolleyes: I wonder why Leo got upset :rolleyes:. Just think about it.

What should happen is if it works, thank the chef or contribute. Damn, even a Thank You goes a long way. If you are having issues, maybe just maybe, report the issue, what you have tried, whatt apps you have installed and what you have uninstalled. Ususally when a chef cooks a rom, they don't install apps to the rom because everything they use is cooked in. Believe it or not, some apps will absolutely kill a rom.

Shape up or shut up. End of story. No more bickering at all. This is the first and last warning on this matter. Understand?

Are you sure we are talking about the same thing? My comment "That's life.." was regarding "there's always a best one" - don't you think that's true?

2) I responded to an insult. I think it's best to reply to people on their level, so it's easier for them to understand.

Please read and try to understand before making comments! The ROM was discontinued because nobody (with a few exceptions of course) here seems to do that! Laurentius specifically (and understandably) asked for details with error reports. But people here simply complained like this: "Doesn't work", "Ringtone problem", etc. without giving any details about their configuration, ROM, etc. Excuse me, but how stupid is that?

thanks for the roms, i have had problems with bits of my touch, but i dont know if that was htc software, htc hardware, your roms or any one of the multitude of software ive installed.... then again it might have been me? operator error is the most likely factor in any issue we experience

im sorry to see you wont be cooking past the current rom, but pleased to see you will for yourself, ive always thought that the (respected) chefs on here (soz, but i wont flash a rom from a noob) must always create good work as they use it for themselves, hardly gonna cook up a crappy rom for their own phones now!

if you do come back, or even want to "backup" your new developments somewhere on the net and let drop the URL so that those of us that want it without expectation or complaint (or understand how to give constructive feedback) can find it for ourselves, feel free :P

peace love and unity to you leo and the other chefs

up your arse to the whinghers out there and thanks for peeing off the guy whose roms ive come to depend on

Start menu
Settings
System
Power
Advanced

...if you disactivate "turn off device..." in On battery power, and you perform a soft reset, you find this option activated :mad:

I do not use if, so every SR I have to disactivate... :confused:

First of Enjoy the Time off Leo.

Hope to see you around in The Lodge, there's a majority that can relate to your situation.

Tater hit the nail on the spot, it's hard to know how much time and spirit go into the endless testing and reflashing

It really saddens me to have seen some cooks and XDA users that have been around for years being forced to take a step down because of user opinions.

It has now helped me take the decision to only concentrate on my Kitchen Thread where every user automatically becomes part of the solution.

In solidarity I've removed my latest Rom Thread completely.
(other motivations off course also weighed in)

Cheers,

there you go again being all sarcastic, insensitive and snide. you expect others to be tolerant while you behave the same way you accuse them of.
you provoke with "...get used to it", "Oh my god! Who died? Who lost a loved one? Sorry for your loss! ", you believe responding to insults with more insults is best, then you insult some more.

i won't excuse you, as you're being careless and rude with other people's opinions.
this is the last i'll respond to you as i like this place and it's people, and i'd like to avoid a ban because i tried to relate to you without insults.
tried and failed, unless i "reply to people on their level, so it's easier for them to understand" and insult you i guess you won't understand.

so that's all there is from me

Hi Leo,

I know it's probably too late but I would like to add my voice to those thanking you for your efforts so far. Yours was one of the first ROMs I tried and it changed my opinion of the platform considerably - I was having issues on the stock ROM (ironically sometimes not getting a ringtone was one of them) and your ROM solved them all along with improving the speed considerably.

I know you will keep cooking for yourself and perhaps, if you're feeling generous, you could ping those who actually donated to see if they are interested in your future work (not that I feel you should feel obligated to in any way as 7.3 is definitely value for money as it stands). In any event I for one would love to here about your future successes.

Many thanks and best wishes for the future.

The 7.3version is by far the fastest I've used. I tried installing the new Opera Mobile beta (from someone's link that posted earlier) and it didn't work. Kept crashing (had to take out cover to reset). Flash didnt' work on it as well. I was running 2520 and it worked great. I don't seem to have a ring tone problem although I just use the WATERFALL tone. Internet Explorer 6 works great although i don't use it much as there's no multiple tabs. I think whenever I install NETFRONT browser it affects the Opera as after that, my youtube flash dont' work anymore :( So I can't install that. After a flash I never do that auto config from my provider as it may cause other data/network stuff to be firewalled. I don't use my phone provider for data as I just use Wi-Fi. Was wondering if enabling file cache necessary under HD Tweak as it's disabled. Please shed some light.

Thanks fellas.

I don't think Laurentius26 will post here any time soon, and if he posts, it'll probably be a new topic, because this topic is full of unwanted chatter.

Unless Laurentius26 wants this topic to continue, i suggest closing it.

Real pity, all this :(

I didn't even once had any problems with Leo's ROM-s.

Only one thing bugged me once, but I suppose this problem was down to HDTweak and AdvancedConfig.
My phone only rang, instead of vibrating too. Settings messed up or something, it didn't occur since. I never even start these two programs anymore, all ok.

Leo, if you'll continue to cook for yourself, you can always count me in an PM me. I really appriciate your work, and am satisfied "customer" all the way from the Kaiser times ;)

I'm on radio 1.10.25.25 and have no Youtube problem at all, ROM is fast and stable, and I'm happy for the battery life.

Thank you again Leo.

I hope Laurentius26 will continue to cook for the HD. I have been reading this thread many times daily. Before Laurentius26 said he was stopping I was concernd about the feedback in this thread. As a programmer myself I know how frustrating it can get if you get too much input that seems irrelevant.
It would be nice if Laurentius26 continues with a select group of testers, with test guidlines and the rest of us (me included) just reading.

exact these kind of questions is the reason for his reaction !!!:mad: -> nothing to add extra for it ...

Just upgraded to v7.3 ...

Is it just me, or this one is unbelievably fast? Flying one, real smooth, its responsiveness seems even way better than the magnificent previos versions.

Great work, best by far, period.

Hi Leo,

Among so many other I would like to thank you for all the work you've done for the XDA-community. I was a thankfull user of you Kaiser Roms and was SOO glad you decides to took up cooking for the HD afterwards.
I hope you're well!!!

I still have some small hope you would like to continue cooking in the future. You leaving is a definate loss to the community.
But take all the time you need, all our private lives come first, so does yours.

Again (and again) THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!

Sincerely

Dear Leo, if you are still reading this thread, for what it's worth, here are my continued attempt with V7.3;

Following some suggestion raised in this forum, I tried starting fresh. I Hard reset my HD. Immediately followed by Soft reset. Did not do anything else and see how stable the phone without anything else installed. Waited for one day and all seemed well. No problems. Ring and Vibrate works fine.

Second day, start installing all my softwares one by one. Monitor stability and phone ringtones. All seemed to work OK. Only once I had a lost of ringtones which I later Soft reset and all seemed to work again. The time when it didn't work, it seem to have changed the ringtone to some Windowsmobile default or something. I manually change it to Generic Ring2 and so far it is still working.

Coming to my third day and all seems to work alright. Keeping my fingures crossed. I have the following installed oo top of your cooked ROM; 1. Icones Topbar, 2. TFL3DIconsV3, 3. Second Today 4. Some other commercial softwares.

It seems to me that the frequent ROM changes from V3 to V7 may have caused much of the instability. Otherwise I am still using all the rest the same as I do before.

I have to agree with some here that as you get V7.3 stable, it is fast. So that's for now. Thank you for your great work my friend. Your labour of love is very much appreciated. Take care.

msmadros

29th January 2009, 12:51 AM

This forums seem to have lots to say for the last two days I was playing with V7.3. For what it's worth Leo, I certainly did not give up on it and seemed a lot of us did not either. Hope you will not give up on us and keep up with the good work. You take care my friend.

As the saying goes " stick and stones may break my bones but words never will " ;)

29th January 2009, 04:03 AM

i flashed the v7.3 rom yesterday, my first bug is here, i cant change my ringtone, its always using Ring-Windowsmobile. i did a softreset, now its ok, but something makes it to default and sticks it there. i installed the 1.10 rom again after the rom flash yesterday. tf3d youtube works with sound, ie6 youtube freeze all the time, even after soft reset. opera sometimes freeze at close. but massive freeze, cant push anything, cant turn it off, only battery out-back helps, but maybe its now your roms fault. i cant see minor differences with glbenchmark, but diamond hologram did 25fps (with dutty's rom it was 16). maybe its a fast rom but i cant see any difference in tf3d to dutty's v1.7. i dont know why do you keep saying its the best, cause sadly it has bugs. many bugs. thanks for the rom Laurentius26, and im sorry you dont want to continue to improve it, but i understand. im back to dutty's.

I never noticed any ring tone problem in Leos ROM but I hardly receive calls. So I decided to play around the phone for two hours trying to recreate the ring tone problem after reading numerous posts reporting it. With many resets, change ring tone, play a few games, Tracky, Papago GPS and Google Map running and closing in between. I simply just cannot recreate the ring tone problem. I am sorry to say, it works 100% without any failure. I started to question, is your post a genuine case? If you have installed additional programs, maybe you should complain to other programmers, not this post.

I used to be a follower of Dutty. He is another great cook that I respect and I had followed him from Kaiser, Diamond to Blackstone. I have tried all of his HD ROM from V1.2 to V1.7. I am sorry to say that my vote goes to Leos V7.3 at the moment. Someone will come out with a faster one for sure but that is in the future, not now!

I feel the stability of a mobile device is more important than that incremental gain in speed. I think Leos did a wonderful job to Blackstone world by bringing us this not only stable but also fast ROM. That is my opinion. I will keep this ROM for a while.

By the way, it is nice to know that you are going back to Dutty. Cheers......

Dang! Only saw this just now...what a downer!
Although I can certainly understand, with everyone just saying (as others have said) "I have a problem" and not giving good details whatsoever...

Like I have said many times...thanks again for all your work, you really did make the HD better and I appreciated and noticed it everyday.

Very sorry to see you go, though as I said understandable...

Thanks again,

i tried every cooked rom that you can find here on xda, and none of them had these problems with the ringtone. today morning i had 3 missed calls from my father and those were really important calls, he was very angry about it.
i installed g-alarm, resco bubbles, resco brain games, diamond hologram, and i modified the bootscreen. thats all. nothing special. so i really dont think its the fault of other installed software. and sorry, but i dont care if the problem can be solved if i decode my mp3 to wav or whatsoever. but ill try to reproduce the problem, i havent changed rom yet.
im really happy that you dont have problems with Leos rom, but many of us have, so this rom is not the best rom, thats all i can say. cheers

Hello Leo, sad to read that you stop making me happy! With your Roms for the TYTN II and now the HD you made them fly.

I hope you'll recover and will accept that there always will stay hindering parasites in our lives. I trust that you discover and feel also that behind that small but loud group there is a vast majority of more modest users who have great respect for the immense work you are doing to realize those sophisticated ROM's.

So, have a good time with the family and know that when time has come you are very welcome to make me happy again! :D

did you choose your name? its very appropriate

if you came to my house and i offered you a coffee, would you say upon drinking it, "its ok and i know you might like your coffee, but ive had better at other places..."

well would you? i doubt it cause its damn rude to say such things to people that offer you something for nothing, especially something theyve put some work into

so mr parasite (of this site?), as you dont like the coffee on offer, why not shut up, pack up and go to get your coffee elsewhere

i for one, never piss off a cook, else you find you go hungry

How sad ! After reading this for a bit now, I felt that I had to add my bit as well. I am a new here and perhaps a bit naive on this matter, but what strikes me is the attitude of some people and their often non-constructive criticism. Hold on a minute. what led them decide to move to a cooked ROM in the first place? Was something not working on factory ROM? Did they complain about it to their operators or HTC? After all they paid lots of cash for it their little Blackstones. Did they receive a new update from HTC every couple of days aimed at addressing their problems? Did they?

I am really amazed and the only thing that springs to my mind are the words 'shame on you !'
I have never come across a forum with its developers more committed to serve their community than XDA-devs. I very much hope this fantastic achievement will continue and won’t signal the beginning of the end...and I'll be forced to buy an iPhone :-(

Thanks Leo for a fantastic job in making the Blackstone as it should. I very much hope we will hear from you at some time in the near future

if you would my friend, i would say thanks, its ok, but blahblah, it depends on the problem with it. but i would never say thats the best coffe ive ever had, thanks for making it, youre the best coffe maker ever. is that your problem that im honest? sorry, i didnt know that! im still using this rom, it has bugs, but im trying to figure out whats causing it. am i alone with the feeling that to quip someones nick is a very pityful thing? and childish.

30th January 2009, 01:10 AM

i am not your friend, and neither are the cooks here i guess by the way you speak to them.

the point is valid, you (and others who critcise the same way) have offered no solutions, just moans and groans and "my dads bigger than your dad" remarks

btw grownups know that sometimes (if not most of the time) is you havent got something nice to say (especially when someone has worked their tits off for you for free), then its better to say nothing

i wont reply after this, as i dont want to get in a petty squabble with you, your words have spoken for themselves

oooh, forgot, leo is MY favourite cook, duuty is shit hot too, and so are a few others, just that i prefer this rom... dosnt mean i feel the need to go to other threads and say" ive tried yours but so and so's is better, nerrr"

peace :)

can't help but post. Sorry L :)

If you're having problems with this ROM why are you still sticking with it? It's good that your honest, but your honestly is not helping anyone in this thread. The way you post bugs is outright bashing of what the cook carefully created and shared. Keep in mind that the best to others is not necessarily the best for you.

solution? sadly im not a rom cooker. i can offer the bugs. i never said who is better than the other. but im not alone with these bugs, and as far as i know this is the only rom with this problem, and i think its not my fault. i just dont understand why users keep saying "this is the best" when lots of us have problems with this rom. you came and started with my nick, now you come with this grown up thing, omg man..and you dont want to squabble, aham. btw, why dont YOU try to help and solve the ringtone problem? my words have spoken. and yours? peace.

can't help but post. Sorry L :)

If you're having problems with this ROM why are you still sticking with it?

cause i'd like to help, lets say im testing it. i see potential in this rom, but its not good right now. or shall i say not perfect? :P

I don't have any of the programs you installed.
Have you ever try not installing "g-alarm, resco bubbles, resco brain games, diamond hologram, and i modified the bootscreen"? If you have not tried yet, you should because I am quite sure you will find the problem gone.

If this is indeed the case, whose fault is it? Please make "honest" and "courteous" comments. :D

I thought you have left this forum and joined Dutty's? :confused:

in my opinion "solving the problem" means to make work this rom with the programs i want to use, not to use the rom without everything else, just the pure rom. but to answer your question: no, i havent tried the rom without these progs. resco softwares and g-alarm are very commonly used applications, diamond hologram, well i can live without it, but everyone uses it i think, so it cant be the problem and bootscreen modification is just a png change. if this rom cant work properly with these, then its has to be fixed. btw i wasnt able to reproduce the ringtone bug and the opera freeze yet.
im w8ing for a new version of dutty's (or davideuck's, or this rom), till then im playing with this one i think. why not?

jonajuna

30th January 2009, 09:05 AM

why dont YOU try to help and solve the ringtone problem?

what ringtone problem?

leo solved that some revisions ago.

for "all" the few that seem to still have the problem, can only guess its a software conflict

oh damn that leo, why cant he cook this rom to take into account all the failings of all the other software out there??? i really think he should take a leaf out of M$'s book, the worlds biggest software house, those people that make software that they charge us megabucks for and that is NEVER buggy and NEVER runs into conflict with other software

parasitic and others, if you report a "bug" and the dev says they cannot recreate it dispite you given them all the details of your install, then the "bug" must be yours

if you "report" a "bug" by saying... "the ringtone dont work, why not? sort it out? its not right...its not fair... i want my money back (oo hang on, this guy did this for free didnt he...)" then that is not testing, that is whining

and you have repeatedly said xyz'z rom is better than......

i used to be scared of these boards, ive visited for years, came in, read what i could understand, took on board hints, tips and advice and rarely posted...why? cause the place was full of people that were devs and hackers and i just didnt have anything i could contribute being mostly just an end user.....

now its more like every other forum online, full of teenage "experts"

I would like to say my opinion also.

First from all the thread last days it's like a comedy film.

All of us we press developers for new roms, new roms, fast roms, more fast roms.
They haven't time to test every new rom because from our pressing. Or maybe, from the other cookers pressing. This is the problem.
A foul beta rom needs one week testing and 5-6 testers.
So my friend Laurendius don't listen nobody, forget donation, forget what make the other developers and take your time.
Make your cooking and every one week or 10 days give us a rom.
You have a very big talent at the cooking, so continue but change the way.

This is my opinion and I am sorry if I am wrong.

While you don't read this thread I'll make a summary for you.

This forum is meant for people who want to improve their PDA. Not only by installing additional software, but also by changing parts of the operating system. In interaction with each other they come to new insights. Interaction means helping/advising each other. The start of advising is reading the threads. What this forum does not need is people who don't read and don't help nor advise.

Laurentius has been very generous by making excellent ROM's. He wanted of course relevant feedback and advise in return. But recently he only got negative remarks on his efforts and people asking questions of which the answers could be easily retrieved. So he decided to aim his energy on something else than this forum. In clear words: Leo stopped modding because of that. Yes bidibu13 thats what the word [DISCONTINUED] in the title is referring at.:o

And what happens: while the modding community is grieving the loss of Leo you proof that there are indeed a lot of people not reading the thread, but indeed just plain consuming the work of Leo, by adding your question about a French version of the ROM.

And bibidu13, it's no excuse that you are not English. A lot of members here use another language in normal live. We only ask of you to be prepared. How? By reading the Wiki, by using the search button and by reading the thread you are responding to.

Hi all :)

First, I have to admit that I'm not English, too. And that I didn't read through the whole thread either. But I noticed that there are more complains about his rom.

But I saw it from another perspective. Most of all people only say a word if they aren't happy. If there are bugs, or if there is anything they want to be changed. Only few people say "thank you" or that he did / does a great work.

What I want to say is, that if there are more complains it just shows that there are way more people that use his rom, because it's great. More people means more idiots that report a wrong bug / don't read / complain / ... But more important more people using his rom means that he did a really great job.

So that's my THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK :)

I still hope you won't give up the ones that really like your rom and use it just the way it is without complaining and flaming. Cook for yourself, let us use it, let us help you, but ignore the jerks that are not helping and causing much more work by asking the same questions over and over. If somebody has a problem he can ask, but feel free not to help him. You cooked / cook that rom for yourself.

Perhaps it would be a solution for you if you release your roms without any support. "Take it or leave it." I was very pleased with every version of your rom, and I'm sure I will be in the future. Plus I'm sure you still get donations for your work, and you don't have more work than cooking your rom for yourself. Doesn't it sound great?

Anyone have poor battery life with this ROM?
Have tried several ROMS since getting my HD just b4 Xmas, this is the quickest by far, but also the poor battery life makes it, form me, unusable. I get perhaps 6-8 hours of battery with this ROM, as compared to one of the Black Pearl ROMS which I can literally use for days! I feel the problem possibly lies with the wireless facility, which quickly drains power.
No, my battery life is great with V7.3. Did you hard reset after flash, and do you have any apps installed now that you didn't have with the other? That is the most probable cause. I've used Leo's rom since v3 without poor battery life.

Hi,
Leo has made A GREAT JOB. Thanks fot it. I used previous versions of his ROMs. Why, because I can't unpack the last version. I downloaded more then 5 times this rom and I have still the same "CRC failed ... (wrong password?)". If I read corectly the pass is Asia27. Is that correct?

Regards

Yes, "Asia27" is correct. I didn't have any problem when I unzip the file back on Jan 28. Maybe try one more time when download speed is stable?

This is very disappointing. Each day passes I miss the development of this ROM, like the most of us I guess. I wish Laurentius will be back, because all those appreciate his efforts they are much more than those don't.

Dear Leo,

much appreciate your hard dedication, your hard work, is your decision and everyone have to respec it.

Still in touch bro, and remember I'm at your total disposal.

First of all, i want to thank Leo for his work.

Second, i am currently using v7.3, i did have the ringtone problem and youtube would not connect. BUT after a hard-reset, everything is working like a charm. So for those who do have problems, try a hard-reset...it worked for me.

I rarely post my thanks in ROM threads unless I can help with faultfinding etc. It is my opinion that it clogs up already difficult to navigate threads with irrelevant information to other users.

However I also wanted to post my thanks to Leo. I have been using your roms (among others) since my Kaiser, I don't believe the community would be where it is now without you. I also want to wish you luck in whatever you do next.

I have a theory regarding this forum. When I first joined, HTC was not so successful. Now that HTC have improved their marketing strategy, and sales to the mainstream market there are more and more users finding this forum. Maybe some of these new users have come from Nokia, SE, Apple etc, and are perhaps a little out of their depth, a little frustrated and overall need more guidance than some of the more technically minded members, who might have found HTC early on and were happy to live with the shortcomings.

As for 7.3, I have been using it since its release. It has been my first L26 ROM on my HD. I have had no problems with missing calls or youtube. My ROM is as Leo intended, with the following additions:

Pocketplayer 4
Coreplayer 1.30
Softkey manager
Safeinboxextender
HiCalc
Raiisaks WLAN button
PocketRAR
Tomtom 7

As I said, with this software my device has been totally fault free, and I am blown away with the speed!

2nd February 2009, 12:02 PM

Hi to all there,

have installed those rom but can't have contact access since update

i installed contact manager but no have direct access, it's boring me

since i installed the core player every vids are clear

thanks for job, french update don't work on mine htc hd

michoob

2nd February 2009, 02:00 PM

reverantjo, do you mean "the files in the second post" when saying "french update"?

These files are to have the French softkeyboard, I mean the Azerty virtual keyboard with letters such as é or è, instead of the US Qwerty.
It works as it should work.
This cabs are not for changing the ROM language.
The V7.3 is only in english.

By the way, I am using the V7.3 for several days now, and I have to say it is a great ROM, very fast, stable, with good memory management, with working youtube in IE, etc.
THE V7.3 IS FANTASTIC!

Thank you Laurentius for having shared such a good ROM.
I wish you could change your mind and come back with great cooked ROMs as soon as some really new features come out.
Cheers.

I think its a testement to Leo's (Laurentius) good work and the love the folks here have for him that this thread has remained active so long after he decided to step away. I too love his ROMs and I hope that all who are or will use them donate a few dollars (or Euros as the case may be) to him. I know that should he ever release a new ROM for a phone I own I will be trying it out ASAP. Rarely do you see an individual put the time and effort into quality that this man did. Leo if you ever read this -- Blessings my friend!

yeah. you should never leave wifi on. turn it off after use. i had battery problem with this rom, now i just turn off wifi when not using, it can keep up for little more than 1 day at normal use with wifi off.

thats the key :)

wifi chip will eat up battery power almost as fast as you can put it in, GPS chip the same

i do wonder how many people that ever complain about battery power have made sure that;

1, wifi isnt left on
2, 3G isnt constantly searching
3, bluetooth is not left on
4, data connection isnt left on
5, gps isnt somehow running

my fone is set to auto turn off wifi when idle for more than 1 minute. BT is never on, only run on 2G signal unless needing data use than it switches to 3G data and off again. GPS (99% in the car) is only ever on if plugged in.

with this rom, these settings and a few calls and texts each day, sync several times a day and make use of the calendar for work appts...... i get 2 days out of my fone. most of the time i leave it plugged in over night though and thus have never run out.

how did you set wifi auto turn off when idle? is it registry tweak or some kind settings?

...only run on 2G signal unless needing data use than it switches to 3G data and off again...

All this is completely off topic, but since the thread is doomed anyway (to all our great loss): I was led to believe 3G actually uses less power then 2G, for the same data amount. Its more the constant data polling etc that bleed battery (and money). So I use NoData to block connections, but leave it at 3G

Hello. I am also facing with that ringtone stucked issue. For some reason the device is loosing the ringtone settings, and you cannot modify it. Because of that, there are no sound when incoming call just vibrate. Only reset helps.

Bl@ck

6th February 2009, 02:11 PM

can you tell us when that happen'd?
i never got that bug... and it's a month that i use the rom :\ someone said that's a problem with bluetooth headsets.

6th February 2009, 03:26 PM

i have the same issue. When you put the phone in silent mode and return then you have the ringtone issue.
In my case i could reproduce it.

Well i've used Leo's rom's until V6, i liked them all, but in V6 was the first with ring bug. Now since this was the last rom from Leo i tried it and the ringtone problems still there for me.

I use ring generic 2, i've tried some combinations but still have the bug.

First put my rings in 2 locations, windows folder and windows rings folder, this time i didn't miss the ring, but it changes to windows mobile ring after some calls, then i delete all rings in windows rings folder, and put them in my documents/my ringtones, after some calls change again to windows mobile ringtone.
Next step will be delete all ringtones in windows and in my ringtones and put them all in windows/rings :D
I don't give up so easy, this is a great rom.
If anyone have more ideias please post.

BTW thanks for your work Leo.

Edit:
I found another thing, i use vibrate then ring an set it from settings/phone, but this time i was playing wit HD Tweak an set it vibrate then ring, then when i go back to phone settings was changed to only ring!!
Could be HD Tweak that is messing with ringtones?

Flashed 7.3 (fast and stable thank you) no probs with ringtone etc, perhaps you could rename your fav tone the default one and overwrite it?

I couldn't delete or rename the file, tried resco and TC.

The file "Ring-WindowsMobile .wma" have a space betwen the E from mobile and de dot "." before the type "wma" its strange... :confused:

hallo Leo i hope that you are well and that you are enjoying your time with you family, and i just wanted you to know that nothing can ever takeaway the passion and professionalism that you have no amount of critisism, and no words or person can ever takeaway the passion that you have for cooking, and there are those of us on this forum who well and truelly share that passion even though we can all not cook but we share in your passion by using your roms, giving and getting feedback and also donating to you so that you can have a drink or 2. what am trying to say leo is that the only way that evil can prosper is when good man stand down and do nothing. Please Leo stand up once again not for anyone else but for the sake of the passion that you have and bring happiness once again to the 100,s if not 1000,s of us all on here thank you my dear friend
