My Thanks
I'd like to thank everyone that has cooked before me. All of the tools and instructions on how to cook were great. I'm trying to leave behind some wonderful guides on how to cook, too. Some people I would like to thank individually...

ToadLife - His kitchen is wonderful. A perfect starting point for my ROM. (He got the kitchen from Ivan, who got it from someone else, so thanks to everyone before ToadLife!)
Ivan - An awesome cook who wrote wonderful guides. He's always willing to help.
The Community - You guys all make this so much fun. Keep up the feedback! (good or bad feedback)


For Chefs
You can use my OEM, SYS, and XIP folder if you want. I have no problem with you using them.

Wow, that sounds great! Oh, but will pointui have any skins or applets added in? Because whenever I installed it, I never completely liked how limited the default applets were.

[ace10134]

Wow, that sounds great! Oh, but will pointui have any skins or applets added in? Because whenever I installed it, I never completely liked how limited the default applets were.

Remember, this is PointUI v 1.51a

PointUI v 2 (pointui.com) is the one that has a bunch of skinning abilities and installable applets.

But, I included the "old" version since it's different, and I like it more. I was disapointed with the new "remodeled" version that they made (pointui v 2), so I went back to the old one.

Sooo....Answering your question...skinning is very limited with this. It is possible, but there aren't many skins out there, since no one is really developing for the old version. They all moved on to version 2, where skinning is easy.

And the applets, they also aren't customizable, I believe. I'm considering making a ROM with PointUI v 2 cooked in, and then you will get full skinning/applet control. Maybe you'd like that more. Tell me what you think!

[elazullizard]

No, you're right. The main reason why I preferred PointUI 1.5 to 2 is really the lockscreen applet. It was very stylish. For some reason, the lock applet is exclusive to the pro version of PointUI 2. Besides, 1.5 is probably lighter than 2. So 1.5 would be the better choice for memory.

Yea. I haven't looked at 2.0 for a while. And I don't like paying for things.

But, if you'd like to test this ROM, I'm uploading it to Skydrive right now...Slow connection, but it'll go up there soon.

[ace10134]

Download link is up there now. Still a pre-release, but you can download and try it out. (.7z compressed, so use 7zip to extract!)

any luck cooking 6.5 roms ace????:D

[ace10134]

any luck cooking 6.5 roms ace????:D

No :(

I tried it, but I couldn't get it to work. Then I figured I should just try to make a working Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM, modify it, and learn how the kitchen works. Heck, I've only been "cooking" for 3 days now. I gotta learn a lot, I think. And it's tough finding a really quality guide online.

About the PointROM...I created v 1.2 now. Just some minor changes (working on removing extra crap and theming the OS). The Skydrive uploads will see day of light on every .5 versions. So 1.5 will be the next up there (around tomorrow).

Can anyone create Windows Mobile theme files??? (.tsk) I need some help with that. If anyone could find or create a PointUI theme for the Windows Mobile part of the OS, then that would be awesome. I had no luck with it. I'm also working on skinning the dialer (I might include Phone Canvas) and also replacing all of the WinMo icons so that they match PointUI. If anyone could create the .tsk theme, that'd be great.

Sure, I could do it. I have a theme maker lying around here somewhere. Could you just give me the background graphic that pointUI uses? That way I could use that as a reference. Since it's a 6.1 theme, it won't have fancy transparencies or stuff that the 6.5 themes do, just a basic gradient at most. Also, downloading and flashing now. (though that seems a waste if you're going to post a new release tomorrow...)

Well the next release shouldn't be anything major. I make minor changes so that if anything goes wrong, I can change it.

And I couldn't really find the PointUI background anywhere. I say, just use the background color from the Applications menu inside PointUI. I have that color attached. It's a solid color. Then I guess the top and bottom bars should be a lighter blue than the attached file. That would look good. And you should make them the glossy bars, not those flat ones that lots of ROM's use now. Think you can do that? That would be awesome. I could cook you a special ROM version with some of your programs cooked in or something, if you'd like.

Oh, you know what, you should try to make the background image so that there's that little blue glowing bar at the bottom. You can see it in the attached image, right at the bottom.

So can you make that work as the background? It's a pretty simple image. And anyways, the Today screen won't ever really be seen, so it's no big deal. What I care more about are the WinMo Bars theme. Make those a nice PointUI-ish blue gloss color. Use your phone and screenshots as a reference. If you need more PointUI screenshots, I've got them all on my computer.

I look forward to seeing the theme!

hey ace man im loving ur new rom man is awsome stable n smooth but can u make an LZX version of this it would b great :)

[ace10134]

LZX is no problem. The most trouble about an LZX version is uploading it...my connection is slowwww. But yea, I'll make LZX, how about on the 1.5 release?

[elazullizard]

All in all, a nice ROM, there's just the problem of it being nearly stock. Many of the nice things that make WinMo a joy to use (nice SIPs, finger-friendly enhancements, task managers) aren't there. Of course, this is just an alpha build, so I'm sure all of the improvements are on the way! (also, keeping voice command is a nice touch, especially since I got a new headset)

Finger-friendly enhancements - It's PointUI!! How more friendly could you get!! And then the soft menu's are a little larger than stock. Honestly, tell me what can be improved, and I'll work on it.

Task Manager - PointUI IS a task manager. From the home screen, click on Applications and then on Currently Running. There you can go into a running program and then close it (by tapping on the Start Menu while in the app, and then clicking Force Close. How would you like that improved? (I can't change anything inside PointUI, remember)

SIP (On-Screen Keyboard) - Yea, I know. It's the default WinMo one. I'll change it sometime, possibly. Recommend a keyboard for me to cook in, then.

Voice Command - I figured I'd keep that in, especially since that dam iPhone has it (and acted like they invented it, like they do with everything).

But it seems like you're liking it so far!! V 1.5 will be coming up soon, with more complete theming. V 2.0 might be more of a full release. Tell me what you think!


Just looked at your screenshots...You're not supposed to even use the old Today Screen!! The point is that it's a PointUI ROM! That's why I did nothing with the Start Menu's size, because you will never touch the Start Menu. But yea, I like that keyboard. Give me a link or name to the keyboard.

Love your site ace...wondering whats the free ram and storage on your new rom

[ace10134]

Love your site ace...wondering whats the free ram and storage on your new rom

About 22 MB Free RAM, and about 37 MB free Storage Space upon booting it up (with PointUI running).

After using the phone for a few hours (running Internet Explorer, etc), I closed all of the apps, and RAM was at about 18 MB. So, it holds up pretty well!

I'm not writing up everything about this ROM yet, since it's ever changing. Expect that storage space to increase as versions go.

[daniel_costa_rj]

And a ROM with SPB MOBILE SHEL 3.01, LIKE SONY ERICSON SXPERIA. The User flash if have a key bought or not.

And a ROM with SPB MOBILE SHEL 3.01, LIKE SONY ERICSON SXPERIA. The User flash if have a key bought or not.

Yea, I could cook in the Trial version, so that it's legal still. But for now, I'm making the PointROM real perfect.

LZX is no problem. The most trouble about an LZX version is uploading it...my connection is slowwww. But yea, I'll make LZX, how about on the 1.5 release?

yea release it bro it freeze once tho

[ace10134]

yea release it bro it freeze once tho

PointUI freezes, right? That's not really "frozen", it's a bug in PointUI. When trying to scroll through a list (usually the Applications list), scrolling freezes, and no touches on the screen are registered. But, it still works by using your D-Pad. So, go up to the Return arrow with your D-Pad, and then your touchscreen will be working again.

Didn't realize that PIM Backup was removed. I'll try to include it, maybe in v 2.0

Opera Mini will be included in v 2.0 also.


V 1.5 is almost done. It includes just about complete skinning, some other tweaks, etc. I can post a full changes log when I upload it.

And I'm uploading v 1.5!! Change log will be written up, too.

[ace10134]

PointROM v 1.5 is UP! Try it out! Has some improvements, as you can see in the Change Log...

-1.5-
Removed CommManager (PointUI has one).
Created a PointUI spash screen.
Themed Windows Mobile to match PointUI more.
Themed almost all of the dialer to match PointUI.
Removed Sample Pictures.
Replaced the Live Search icon in Internet Explorer with the Bing icon.
Completely themed the default Call Log inside the default WinMo dialer to match PointUI.


And there's probably some more changes, too. I try to list out every little thing that I do in a .txt file, so it's very thorough.

Screenshots will be up on v 2.0, lets say. I'm shooting for making v 2.0 a non-pre-release.

Eh, the ROM would have to be made on Windows Mobile 6.5, then. WM6.5 has finger friendly tweaks for soft menus and all. I can try to space out the menus more, but it won't be as perfect as WM6.5.

And I'm uploading/testing the LZX version now...

Yo! Ace can we get some good lookin screenies? :D

[ace10134]

Ah i was really asking for tht splash(even tho i forgot to mention) which is very sexy. :D

[ace10134]

I'm gonna pimp out the splash screen some more, probably. It's a little plain with the white background. But if you like it, I can leave it as is, less work for me!

STATUS---
I just found a Windows Mobile 6.1 Build 21805, which is freakin new!!! Ivan's ROM's are running on Build 21051, so as you can see, there's a huge difference in how new it is. I'm gonna try to port that over to this PointROM, so that we can enjoy the freshest from Microsoft while keeping the awesome PointUI interface! And if I succeed, then that means I probably have the skills to make a WM6.5 ROM, which will be next on my list.

ah yeah i saw a post but tht new build but didnt read it, plus wht else do u want to add to tht splash...maybe make it 3-D and some eye-popin colors.
also why are people head over heels for such an unstable OS like Wm6.5. but thts just my opinion ill wait for the release and a more stable version:D

Lol, people do go crazy over 6.5, but it is pretty good.

And about the splash screen, yea I'm thinking about putting a PointUI logo behind it. And then if I can make it animated, I would just love myself. But lemme think about the more important stuff first...functionality.

[nikmel420]

Mmmmm, weather won't ever work, I believe. I could try to hack into the PointUI files, and edit the registry that's hidden there, but PointUI is REALLY restrictive about their program. It might be impossible to get it to work.

Why the weather is broken is because when the makers of PointUI ditched the 1.51a version to create the v2 version, they must have removed the servers or something that would manage the weather. If I can make them re-direct to something else, then it might just work.

and Hahahah, yea, I was thinking you're the guy that I have to read your posts two times through, LOL. No, you haven't even came close to insulting me yet!!! I too agree that functionality is more important that form, as I said just above your post.

I'll try to "hack" the weather tomorrow, I think. If I don't write about it tomorrow, please remind me, I might forget. I'm doing wayy too many projects at once.

You're missing a few letters there. Whatever, grammer wars can end now!! (haha, i'm soooo gonna leave that spelled as such. I feel smart)

Idk about getting help with the PointUI weather. You could search/ask around if you've got time. No one is really supporting the original PointUI, so it might be tough.

I'm gonna pimp out the splash screen some more, probably. It's a little plain with the white background. But if you like it, I can leave it as is, less work for me!

STATUS---
I just found a Windows Mobile 6.1 Build 21805, which is freakin new!!! Ivan's ROM's are running on Build 21051, so as you can see, there's a huge difference in how new it is. I'm gonna try to port that over to this PointROM, so that we can enjoy the freshest from Microsoft while keeping the awesome PointUI interface! And if I succeed, then that means I probably have the skills to make a WM6.5 ROM, which will be next on my list.
I haven't seen a 6.1 21805 (only the wm6.5 218xx series.) I thought they stopped making 6.1 at 21051. I'll have to research that.

Usually, after a few months, you'll start feeling the same way. (It took me years to feel that way, but that's because I felt bad. :p )
But I don't mind answering questions when it comes to COOKING ROMs since those answers are much much much harder to find.
I've personally taught a few cooks across a few devices.

And no, I won't include Opera Moble with Flash. I don't think that even exists yet. If it did, it would destroy our phones.

And Microsoft Recite could replace Notes and Tasks, but think about this...I have lots of notes that I store on my storage card. If there's no Notes program, then nothing can read them! Recite probably uses a whole different format, so yea, it'd be tricky for users.

[ace10134]

And oh yea, the whole reason why I posted above, I was gonna say something else...

Creating a new txt message seems to be broken. Idk why. Can anyone else create a new txt message? I've usually just responded to texts......

Wait....scratch all of that...idk, I think I am running a new test build that I made, which I was trying out some crazy stuff in...yea.

But, just to be sure, can all of you create a new txt message just fine? (Applications -> New -> Text Message)

Nvm, everyone. It's all good. I just broke something while making a newer build, but I fixed it.

But the thing is, Opera 9.5 without flash, it always runs out of memory (RAM). Imagine how many memory errors it will get with flash!!

ace, I'm pretty sure I remember that pointui used Accuweather's servers to download weather. However, the url format for the weather service recently went through a change. I remember that a weather titanium plugin was broken because of the change. They uploaded a cab that fixed it. If you want, I can post the cabfix. Maybe it would help you fix the weather issue in pointui.

Yep, I think it uses AccuWeather. Good point about the server changes affecting Manilla 2D, though.

Upload that CAB, it'll help me pinpoint where the weather should shoot to. Then I gotta try to get into PointUI's settings somehow. I'll work on it.

[ace10134]

Sorry that I haven't released v 2.0 yet. I'm trying to get almost everyone's requests cooked in. I'm also writing a guide on how to cook as I go. And I'm trying to LEARN how to cook as I go! Right now I'm seeing if I can get a newer version of NetCF cooked in, because I think the one that I had previously was 2.0, since some apps didn't work.

Also, can anyone find the OEM folder for the Rhodium Notification Enhancement?? If no one has it, then I'll have to make it by hand, since the tools won't work on every .CAB.

And can we get that PointUI Customizer uploaded like you said a few posts up? I'd like to see what I can do with that.

K, I got the new version of NetCF cooked in, so everyone will be able to use the XDApp once it's released! I'll start working on the other things, like weather and Notification Manager.

Here's the cab that I had awhile ago. This cab is supposed to fix the twolf plugin so that it would reference the correct accuweather url after the change.

Still working on it, sorry that I couldn't release the v 2.0 version yet. I want that to be a very final version. I can still work on fixing bugs and some minor things later, but after v 2.0, I'm gonna work on another ROM project.

But, I got some of the requests working, I'm very close. I just gotta get the Notification Enhancement working, already. Can't get a good OEM folder for it.

Also, I can't fix the Weather. I have no clue how to edit the .cld files, and I couldn't find anything online, so there's no way I can get into the deep settings of PointUI. You guys could try searching some more about editing those files, but it's tough to find anything. I think someone knows how to edit them though, ask someone that created a theme for the original PointUI. Send them a PM, and see if they can remember! You guys do that though, if you want weather fixed.

So yea, I'll be getting out the release version tomorrow. I'll write up everything about it too, then. (actually, if we want Notification Manager themed to be blue-ish, then it might be longer, I'll see)

Everyone: Would you like to use the Volume Slider for navigation inside PointUI? You can use it to scroll down, but most importantly, you can flick up on it, and it'll take you back to the previous screen. Remember, it only happens in PointUI, so once you're in WinMo, you can use the volume slider like normal. So, what do you guys think? "Cool, lets keep it" or "eh, lets not"? PointUI has a volume button on it's homescreen anyways, so yea.

No, I said that it's the 1.51a version of PointUI. We're all fans of the original interface, so yea. I guess the title of the ROM will be a little confusing though.."PointROM v 2.0". That's the version number of the ROM, not PointUI. Whatever.

Both Intel and AMD are 100% compatible with EVERY software out there created for the x86 standard. If anything, the few SIMD instructions that they don't share, AMD has a few more than Intel.

At the moment (hasn't always been this way), Intel has the most powerful CPU's but AMD's CPU's are cheaper, so for the money, AMD is still the best bang for the buck, unless you like to overclock.

Heh, thanks. It's pretty fast, yea. I think Ivan's JustStable Micro would be the fastest though, but mine comes close. (for switching from portrait to landscape).

It's the 21051 SYS/XIP that makes the transition so fast. With previous builds I used, the transition was laggy. Replacing the SYS/XIP with 21051 made the difference.

Wait, you guys are right, the LZX download isn't working for some weird reason. I'll try to figure it out. Sorry guys.

God dam, Normal version isn't downloading either. Don't do this to me, Microsoft!!!

[ace10134]

Yep guys, SkyDrive seems to be having some problems right now. I can't download ANY of my files from there. Give it some time, I guess.

What's the best file-sharing site? Which ones do you guys prefer? Which one has the fastest download speeds with the least waiting and least advertisements? Someone please look into that, and tell me. Then I'll use it to upload. Thanks to whoever looks into that.

[ace10134]

Well what happened? I need more info.

I'm flashing the LZX version right now, to make sure it works. It's almost done.

Did you remember to re-name to HERAIMG.nbh? Or did u get it working? What errors are you seeing? (I'll be gone for 10-15 minutes)

I flashed the LZX version just fine. Either you're flashing it incorrectly, or the download from 4Shared corrupted it.

Did someone flash the normal (non-LZX) version that they downloaded from the 4Shared link fine?? That would confirm that the download is working fine.

i flashed the normal version but that was the first link you posted so i dont know about the new one. Not related, but i found that when i use the volume rocker while im in a call to make the in-call volume louder it uses the rocker as sort of a toggle instead of changing the volume.

Yea, I listed that as a "Feature" of this ROM. But, oh, wait, that happens while In-Call! That's bad. I knew it happened in PointUI, which was kind of usefull.

Waitttt.....It doesn't act as a "toggle" in the call screen. Are you using PointUI's call screen thing? Because with the default WinMo dialer, it works as a volume adjuster, like normal.

Ohhhh...I see what you're saying. It brings up that HTC Volume Slider, and that version only controls System volume. I could try finding a different version, and see if I can make it work. Or, I can just remove it, in general.

I'll see if I can find you a registry edit in the mean time, that will disable that volume slider. Tweak to increase in-call volume at Post 122 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4236680&postcount=122)

Dude, I told you to give me more info. I can't help you otherwise.

What happens when you start flashing from your SD card??

[uries62]

I am having a problem with the LZX version too.

When flashing on SD, I get an error specifiying:

"Reading second OS from SD!" (this is after the Loading ExtRom dialog)

It holds there forever. When I reset, I get the load screen forever.

That's not an error. Did you let it flash for like 10 minutes??? It always says that message, that's part of the proccess.

[ivanmmj]

If it says that, you do NOT need to flash it through the SD. The SD process is not meant for LZX roms, but for ROMs that are really small.

[ace10134]

If it says that, you do NOT need to flash it through the SD. The SD process is not meant for LZX roms, but for ROMs that are really small.

Well, I can't flash the LZX version through the PC. It got an error at like 3%, I think, and said that it was corrupt or file size was wrong, something like that. So flashing the LZX through the PC didn't work, for some reason. Flashing through my SD card worked fine though.

And Ivan, do you think that the upload got corrupted or something?? Because it flashed fine on my phone. I'm confused why it's not working for them :(

[ace10134]

You guys still haven't gotten the LZX version working?? I'm really thinking that the upload must have gotten corrupted, or something, because the exact same one works fine on my phone. I guess I'll download my own LZX NBH file, and try it out.

Or, if you guys got it working, TELL ME!!

It sounds like it's corrupt.
Try creating a MD5 sum next time so people can double check if it's corrupt.

[ace10134]

LZX VERSION WORKS FINE. I downloaded and flashed it, and it worked.

The entire flashing through SD proccess should take 10 MINUTES. Just leave your phone be while it's flashing, so that you're not tempted to interrupt it. Make a PB&J or something. Just don't interrupt it!!

The "Reading Second OS from SD!" message is completely normal. That screen lasts for about half of the proccess.

Ivan, I think ToadLife's kitchen might use a different LZX compression method or something. Idk. It doesn't flash through the PC, but flashes fine through the phone. So, whatever, at least it works one way, that's all that matters.

If you're phone still isn't flashing after a good 15 minutes, then try re-downloading the file. It might have been corrupted from YOUR download. I can confirm that the file is NOT corrupted, and that it downloads fine to my PC.

Almost 99% of ALL ROMs ever made use my method. (For ALL devices with the exception of one.) (Most are using my newer method, a few are using my older method.)
:p
I didn't make it up but I was the one that made it common knowledge among the cooks.
The flashing through SD card is an issue with any ROM that is smaller than 50mb, regardless of whether it's compressed in LZX or XPR.
Flashing through SD is a little slow due to the way it does it:
While flashing through the "flash center" the ROM is being read from the harddrive as it is flashed. When flashing a small ROM through the SD card, it reads a certain amount of the ROM from the SD card first, then flashes it. If it's a larger ROM, it reads a small part, flashes it, then reads the second part then flashes that. (I believe it has to load the whole thing into RAM, which is why it can only cache so much and why it takes so long.

[uries62]

I spoke too soon. Flashed LZX successfully over SD. I waited about 8 minutes for the whole process. (I also redownloaded your zipped file on Skydrive, so that might have been it too)

It seems fast, real fast actually. I was using justhome for a while, but I kept on getting the infinite reboot.

One question. As we no longer have commanager, how can I disconnect by data connection once I am done in order to save batteries?

Yea, I noticed that :(

PointUI unfortunately doesn't have that in it's comm manager. I could try to find a .CAB that automatically terminates the Data connection after a pre-determined time.

[ace10134]

Oh, got an easy solution...

Just tap on the big "E" icon on your Windows Mobile taskbar! You have to be in the WinMo interface (like File Explorer) in order to tap that icon, but hey, it works. Once the little blimp pops up, you can click "Disconnect".

Simple enough? Also, you can just find a CommManager on XDA here, install that, and then set PointUI to use the Windows CommManager instead of the PointUI one.

[ace10134]

omg, Weather works!!! I owe all thanks to uries62 for the find. I'll edit this post with directions how to fix it. The only thing is that I can't cook in the weather fix, since it's location specific.

Go to this page (http://aspnetresources.com/tools/locid.aspx), enter your location, and then write down your Location ID number.
Now, close PointUI on your phone (Settings Icon -> Close Home).
Connect your phone to your computer with USB. Open your file explorer and navigate to your phone's files from your computer.
Go to your phone's internal storage location (not your Storage Card), then to Program Files -> Pointui -> Home -> 1.51a, and find the "Home.Db" file.
Drag that Home.Db file onto your desktop for editing. Open it (with Notepad), and you should see something like this...
<Database><HelpShownFirstRun>1</HelpShownFirstRun><Weather.LocationID /><Weather.LocationName /><Weather.Units /><Weather.LastUpdated>1/Jan/0001 12:00:00 am</Weather.LastUpdated><Weather.UpdateFrequency.Hours>0</Weather.UpdateFrequency.Hours><Sound.SpeakerVolume.LastValue>0</Sound.SpeakerVolume.LastValue><Sound.RingerVolume.LastValue>0</Sound.RingerVolume.LastValue><Clock.Style>Digital</Clock.Style><PowerOn.Action>Do Nothing</PowerOn.Action><PhoneCall.Bluetooth.Action /><PhoneCall.End.Action>Do Nothing</PhoneCall.End.Action><RunningApps.ShowScreenshot /><TaskBar.Mode /><TaskBar.CloseBehaviour>Default App Close or Minimize</TaskBar.CloseBehaviour><CommManager.Preferred>Home&apos;s</CommManager.Preferred><Transition.Style /><Font.ForceType /></Database>
Copy the code below (Ctrl-C)...
<Weather.LocationID>85750</Weather.LocationID><Weather.LocationName>Tucson, AZ</Weather.LocationName><Weather.Units>Farenheight</Weather.Units>
Go back to the notepad window, and highlight the "<Weather.LocationID /><Weather.LocationName /><Weather.Units />" string, exactly.
Once highlighted, paste in the copied code from above (Ctrl-P). Your notepad window's code should now look like this...
<Database><HelpShownFirstRun>1</HelpShownFirstRun><Weather.LocationID>85750</Weather.LocationID><Weather.LocationName>Tucson, AZ</Weather.LocationName><Weather.Units>Farenheight</Weather.Units><Weather.LastUpdated>1/Jan/0001 12:00:00 am</Weather.LastUpdated><Weather.UpdateFrequency.Hours>0</Weather.UpdateFrequency.Hours><Sound.SpeakerVolume.LastValue>0</Sound.SpeakerVolume.LastValue><Sound.RingerVolume.LastValue>0</Sound.RingerVolume.LastValue><Clock.Style>Digital</Clock.Style><PowerOn.Action>Do Nothing</PowerOn.Action><PhoneCall.Bluetooth.Action /><PhoneCall.End.Action>Do Nothing</PhoneCall.End.Action><RunningApps.ShowScreenshot /><TaskBar.Mode /><TaskBar.CloseBehaviour>Default App Close or Minimize</TaskBar.CloseBehaviour><CommManager.Preferred>Home&apos;s</CommManager.Preferred><Transition.Style /><Font.ForceType /></Database>
Now, just replace the respectable fields! Replace "85750" with your Location ID number from earlier. Replace "Tucson, AZ" with your own cities name (or whatever name you want). Replace "Fahrenheit" with "Celcius" if you want metric degrees.
Once you're done with that, save the file and close the notepad window. I told you to copy the Home.Db file onto your desktop before editing, so you should find it there. Move the Home.Db file that you just edited back into your phone's PointUI folder from step 4. Replace the old file.
Now, disconnect your phone from the USB cable, open PointUI, and view your weather!
Automatic updating might not work, but at least manual updating works!

If you guys need more help, just ask!

[elazullizard]

Please don't forget to spell it "Fahrenheit"!

[ace10134]

Please don't forget to spell it "Fahrenheit"!

Lol, good point.

So, is everyone liking it all, so far?

There's no Opera Mini in this ROM. You can find a good CAB file for Opera here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398567)

And I've noticed that File Explorer Extention has been acting weird. It's in there, but idk, sometimes it works normally.

[elazullizard]

Ah, I see. I was wondering what happened. So, now you're going to try a WM6.5 ROM? edit: Ok. NOW this is the best ROM I've ever flashed. I heart Opera Mini.

[apathetic]

If this was a bug in the previous version and still not fixed but worked around sorry:

When inside of a text from say Person A if they send me a few while reading and replying and I exit it still shows X amount of new texts and I have to click on, open and close, and repeat to make it count down to 0.

Very annoying so is there a fix for this?
Other then that the ROM is good, I don't pay for internet so I don't have the weather problem to worry about and I have not had problems with in call being too low that I needed to raise it.

Version 2.0 Released!!! DOWNLOAD (http://cid-7d1cac342168ec7f.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Wingster/My%20ROM%7C4s%20%7C5They%7C4re%20shit%7C6/PointROM/PointROM%20v%202.0.7z) (LZX Version (http://cid-7d1cac342168ec7f.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Wingster/My%20ROM%7C4s%20%7C5They%7C4re%20shit%7C6/PointROM/PointROM%20LZX%20v%202.0.zip))

Changes
Added File Explorer Enhanced.
Finished theming the Phone dialer.
Cooked in a newer version of NetCF so that most programs should work.
Added Google Maps v 3.2 (can be uninstalled if you want).
Fixed the duplicate "PointUI" shortcuts in the Applications list.
Disabled the keyboard Sliding Sound.
Added EzInput keyboard from the HTC Mega ROM
Added HTC Notification Enhancement from the HTC Mega ROM (only themes the notification windows, like a new text message window).
Removed Adobe Flash (Did anyone use it? Not that I knew of).
Removed extra ringtones.

Read more details on the first post!! Tell me what you guys think of it, as usual!

Yea, that's a little problem with WM6.1's threaded SMS. What you can do is just scroll through the threaded SMS messages with your D-Pad, which marks them as read. Maybe I'll be able to find a true fix, I hope.

[apathetic]

Well that is not ideal but sure helps out a lot. I have friends that pump out 20 texts a time with their "sure" and "ok" instead of one long one.

Any updates for the wm6.5 version of pointrom? I've been using the choic3s rom now and wm6.5 rocks! Except the titanium today plug in is so-so. I would much prefer pointui.

I've considered it, but just think about it a little bit...

WinMo 6.5 uses more RAM, which means not as good of an experience. 6.5 has the new fancy start menu, but with PointUI, you never see the start menu! PointUI replaces that when tapping on the on-screen Start Menu. So, the main difference of 6.5 is never seen, but is still using more RAM, in general. The only advantage would be the File Explorer, soft menu's, etc. But if you'd like, I can cook up a 6.5 version.

If you want 6.5, say aye!

[wearefree]

You're right about the start menu. However I have used PointUI 1.51 with other roms (OT4.0 clean, which was wm6.1), and PUI is just a shell. As soon as I get to individual program the touch experience is gone.

A wm6.5 rom with PUI would def be nice to have. Thank you!

One potential problem that I can think of: in wm6.1 and before, start menu items can be save in \windows\start menu, which is the folder that PUI reads and use as favorites in the PUI home screen. However in wm6.5 due to the start menu change, items in \windows\start menu folder will be extracted and placed under \windows\start menu\programs automatically once the wm6.5 honeycomb start menu is opened. This will render the PUI favorites reading no items which defeats the purpose to have the favorite there.

By the way, is there any finger friendly way to close programs? I use quickmenu for launcher, and also heavily rely on its ability to close program with the "OK" button.

Tap on the start menu (on your screen) and then click Force Close. That's PointUI for you!

And I'll get going on 6.5, I guess. But I'm not getting addicted again. I've got my TP2 coming tomorrow, so I'll try to get this out today.

Well, I just tested it. Device freezes on customization screen (I thought I removed that, weird), so soft-reset after the popup appears saying that the file couldn't be found. At least it doesn't brick your phone :)

PointUI's in the phone somewhere, lol. You can start it from your Windows folder (Windows\PointUI.exe). I guess the auto-boot and shortcut links didn't work. Neither did the config. I'm gonna have to change a lot of that stuff too, because I can't use the customization screen (as you saw above, it freezes in 6.5). I'll try to figure it out.

So, basically, don't use that 6.5 version that I posted. lol. Gotta go for an hour. I'll fix it up later.

Getting closer....Just gotta figure out where this random (yes, it's entirely random) Start Menu shortcut error is coming from. It doesn't make any sense to me, lol. I'll figure it out :)

Had to wait 30 seconds to post this, I guess I'm too fast of a poster...lame.

It may be because wm6.5 changed the way start menu works. Seem my comments in post #156, hope that helps.

Hi to all,

does anyone know how to set a custom background on home screen, I created a custom background and I have no idea how to fix it. I searched on wm folder for all pics but it looks like is not so simple.

there were some old threads on XDA, that talked about that. I know its not very simple, but I believe there's a way. Do a search for it, and see what you can find. Sorry, but I have no clue where you'd find the answer. I never tried changing the background.

I absolutely love the interface and the appreciate the hard work and time that was put in to make this rom.

the only qn I have is this: Is it possible to change the default icons and links of the front interface, I dont use email function on my phone, I would rather have task manager there or some other program, Is there any option to customize the interface ?

Sorry, Point UI really isnkt that customizable. Its pretty locked down. You might find how to tweak it, but idk how to.

Thanks for the reply, how about changing theme...something other than black,blue and white ?

PointUI really locked down the software. There's some old threads on how to tweak it, but it's nothing quick and easy, lol. I have no clue where those threads would be, sorry.

No one is going to help you if you keep posting this same message everywhere. This is the 4th time you have posted this exact same message. 10 minutes of reading would yield the answer you want.
