* IMPORTANT *

THIS IS A GSM ROM. Do NOT use this ROM if you have a CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) Touch Pro!!!

To flash a custom ROM, you MUST first flash Hard-SPL by OliNex!!

If you don't know what's involved with flashing a ROM, PLEASE see mskip's guide for n00bs!!

A BIG special thanks to XDA member dschlaefer for donating his Fuze so I can continue cooking for the Raphael!!


____________

I know what you're thinking. Does this forum really need another ROM thread? I agree; I don't think it does either. But, here I am, opening one anyway.

So, here's the skinny:

These ROMs are based on builds 23554, 23541, 21898, and 21893, and are customized for the AT&T HTC Fuze and Touch Pro. One series includes Sense 2.5 VGA, and the other includes Sense 2.1 VGA. For those who want lower CPU usage, go with the Sense 2.1 version.

The 218XX version will generally be the most stable, so if that's what you're looking for, that's the one I'd go with :rolleyes:.

I use the 4-row Start Menu (thanks to showaco), because I like it :p.

What's included in my ROMs (common to both versions):

Add-On CABs/Fixes/Change Log/To Do

Add-On CABs:

MP3 Trimmer - For creating ringtone files
PimBackup - For backing up Contacts, etc. NOTE: This may cause issues with Sense
SIPChange - For setting the Default keyboard on first boot
TFDetacher - For 'detaching' the Sense interface and allowing both Titanium (CHome) and Sense to be run simultaneously.
Total Commander - Enhanced file explorer with Registry viewer, etc.
Voice Recorder - HTC's application for recording voice notes.
WorldCard Mobile - Business Card Reader - take a picture of a business card and save the information directly to your Contacts.
HTC EzInput 1.5 - For those that don't like the EzInput 2.1 cooked into the ROM, this cab will install the stock Raphael EzInput with all of the EzInput options working.
Restore aGPS Control Panel Settings - This will restore the AGPS Settings applet to the 'System' Settings, for easily enabling/disabling of aGPS.
FInix Percentage Battery Icon (White) - For those that don't like the new top bar in the ROMs, they can uninstall it and install this CAB to get back my original percentage battery icons.
.NET Compact Framework 3.7 - For people having issues installing certain programs that throw a .NET Framework error message.

Fixes/Tweaks:

ATT Phone Canvas Fix - For 15-JAN-2010 23518 Sense 2.1 Fuze Build only - removes scrollbar from in-call screen.
Disable XT9 - For people that want to permanently disable XT9 (this may cause issues with the hardware keyboard). XT9 can also be toggled using the hardware keyboard (FN+SPACE on TP, FN+Right Arrow on Fuze)
Facebook Online Album Fix - For the Sense 2.5 ROMs, this fixes the picture preview for the Facebook Online Albums.
Set EzInput as Default IM - For pre 14-JAN-2010 builds, where new MS SIP was set as default. Will set HTC EzInput as default keyboard.
Disable Push Internet - For Sense 2.1 builds, this cab will completely disable Push Internet. This may help to reduce excessive battery drain.
Raphael 6.5 Bluetooth Driver - This 'fix' will allow Bluetooth AVRCP to work for players OTHER than Windows Media & HTC Music Player. However, it will prevent AVRCP from working with the HTC Music Player at all (AVRCP will still work with Windows Media Player).
Sense 2.5 ONLY - Remove Background for all Tabs Mod - This is for people that prefer the default Manila behavior of the custom background appearing on only the Home tab, with the other tabs displaying the default background.

If there are other stock ROM applications that you are interested in having add-on CABs for, please let me know, and I will consider adding them to this list :)

Change Log

April 1, 2010
  • Builds updated to 23554 from 23541 (COM5) and 21898 from 21893 (COM2)
  • My Phone updated to 1.6 version
  • Windows Live from 21898 build added to 23554 (10.7) - this can be upgraded on Marketplace to add Messenger
  • PagePool upped to 20MB (This seems to make Sense run more smoothly)
  • Titanium Weather/myLocation updated for Accuweather fix from Sleuth255
  • Opera 9.7 updated to build 35964 (thanks to indagroove @ MobileUnderground)
  • amarullz PeopleMessageClassic mod removed in favor of Manila Messaging built into Sense (thanks to TMartin03 for the package)
  • AMeBa updated to 0.8RC (with lower CPU usage) - see thread for details/additional features
  • Advanced Network package updated from HD Mini to match 6.5.x theme (swipe to change tabs)
  • Documents tab removed from Sense (memory hog, & not ported) - a CAB install for this is available
KNOWN ISSUES:
  • Windows Live gets stuck when trying to connect to sign in. Workaround: sign in to My Phone or Marketplace first. After a soft reset, your Windows Live ID details should already be entered into Live, and it should then sign in normally (it may take up to 30 seconds after pressing "Next" for the next screen to show up, so even if the device seems to freeze, don't panic - be patient)
  • Lockscreen shows Calendar icon even when there is no Active Appointment - This is a CPR change I haven't had time to make yet. See here for the fix.
  • Manila Locker/Background for All tabs not included - Both installable by CAB (I didn't include the Locker is because I've found it to be buggy, as it was not really designed for this version of Sense - though it does work without many graphical glitches).
  • Facebook tab not included (installable via CAB) - use THIS Tab Control file to correctly enable the tab

February 23, 2010
  • Wake up issue fixed
  • Album 3.2 updated to full ported Topaz S2 version by programatix

  • Full Screen view for Photos, Music, & Documents tabs disabled (until they are fully ported)
  • Flip_IT removed from ROM (COM2 218XX versions ONLY) - BsB's G-Config is now included in "Applications" folder (this will decrease rotation sensitivity)

February 18, 2010
  • Sense 2.5 Builds updated to 23534 (6.5.5 COM5) & 21892 (6.5 COM2)
  • Mail tab menu fixed

  • CHome Customizations added (ATFavePeople, Titanium Weather w/GPS Weather Radar, & Sleuth's myLocation built in, Titanium Notifications & showaco's Opera panel)

  • eReader tab removed completely (doesn't work right since unported)
  • Most Recent VGA port by amarullz included
  • Opera 9.7 build updated to 35810
  • Windows Live added back in (since it causes an error trying to add a Hotmail account without it)
  • position fix in AMeBa disabled (not needed with newest Sense build)
  • HTC Messaging Client removed in favor of amarullz PeopleMessaging Mod
KNOWN BUGS:
  • Some of Sense still unported (full screen Landscape views, Footprints & Documents tabs)

  • Footprints tab actually works!! ("Set as Footprints" item in Album now works correctly with GPS photos)
  • RunCC package updated - IMPORTANT: RunCC now runs in silent mode so that CABs requiring user intervention can now be included in UC (after screen alignment, you will just see the htc logo - this is normal). You may have to exit out of Google Maps at the end of customization (this is the last CAB of my customization), and will receive a warning when the device is about to reset.
  • Patched Album 3.2 by programatix included (picture preview now takes up entire screen)
  • Included ported VGA-addons for supporting packages from aamikam
  • HTC Flashlight from Leo included (under "Tools" folder)
  • Swype included from Leo (though I don't think it actually works)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What rilphone do you use in your ROMs?

A: I use the rilphone.dll from the 5.11.502.2 AT&T ROM (Radio 1.14.25.35). That is also the radio I recommend to use with this ROM for best results.


Q: How do I stop tab vibration in Manila?

A:
you can disable it with this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"ApVibrationOn"=dword:0 ;1=on, 0=off


Q: I'm using your Sense 2.1 ROM. Why doesn't my Album have uploading options?

A: The Social Networking Album is only included with the Sense 2.5 ROM. That version of Album causes conflicts with the Facebook options in the Sense 2.1 version of Manila.


Q: Does Sense 2.1/2.5 have landscape support?

A: Sense 2.1 has landscape in all tabs. Sense 2.5 has landscape views in 3 tabs: Messages, Photo, & Music. These actually do not work when the keyboard is opened, as they do in Sense 2.1.


Q: Is there a Programs tab in these versions of Manila/Sense?

A: The Sense 2.5 does not have a Programs tab; instead, there are quicklinks underneath the Clock on the Home tab. Sense 2.1 does have a Programs tab, but it is hidden by default. To enable it, follow these instructions:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://programs.page.hidden"=dword:0 ;1=hidden, 0=shown
Alternatively, you can install this: Show Programs Tab.cab which will do the exact same thing.


Q: What are the differences between Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5?

A: See below post :)

Tab by Tab comparison of Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5

The main difference, of course, between Sense 2.1 & Sense 2.5 is that 2.1 supports Landscape, while 2.5 does not (and yes, I am aware that rotatstrain has created a landscape for 2.5, but that is NOT as designed by HTC).

NOTE: Starting with the 2011 build, Sense 2.5 now supports Landscape!!

Home tab:
Sense 2.1 - Home tab includes World Clock w/Weather under time & Animated Weather wallpaper. Quick links to Call History & Calendar under time. Scrolling up will reveal several calendar entries.

Sense 2.5 - Home tab includes World Clock w/Weather under time & several choices of Animated wallpaper, including Weather. Quick link to Calendar under time, one Calendar entry shows. Scrolling up reveals 6 Quick Link shortcuts that can be customized to add a Program shortcut, Contact shortcut, or Bookmark.

People tab:
Sense 2.1 - People tab is the same as previous versions of Manila. Features 3D shortcut to Contact card for Favorites, selectable using bladelist along side of tab. Contact numbers are listed underneath selected Contact picture, and can be dialed with a single press.

Sense 2.5 - People tab features a grid view which shows 6 contact shortcuts at a time (scrolling up reveals additional shortcuts). Each shortcut uses Contact Picture for identification, and can be customized to View Contact Card, call a selected number, send a text or email (an icon in the bottom right of the picture will indicate the selected default action). The shortcut is actually 2 buttons - the picture acts as a direct shortcut to the default action as selected previously, and the bottom portion (which displays the contact name) opens the Contact card for that person. If there is an unread notification from that person, it will show up as a green icon on the bottom right of the button.

Messages tab:
Visually, this tab is identical in the two versions. However, when pressing the tab, in 2.1 it opens the Manila SMS interface, while in 2.5, it will open the Messaging Client interface (in the Manila SMS tab).

Mail tab:
This tab is also very similar in both versions. Both feature a bladelist on the right that shows the unread e-mail count of any Mail accounts. The main difference is the size of the e-mail preview. In Sense 2.1, the old preview, with a 3D envelope with mail emerging from it, is used. In Sense 2.5, there is a flat, full screen preview that allows more viewable area, and an easier to read preview.

Internet tab:
Sense 2.1 - Uses Opera 9.5, and includes shortcuts to add "Push Internet" links. These can be added from existing bookmarks, or can be input manually. The user can select a frequency for the pages to be downloaded, so that there is zero wait time when opening the shortcut.

Sense 2.5 - Uses Opera 9.7, and includes "Visual Bookmarks". These can be added from existing bookmarks, or can be input manually. A visual representation of the bookmarked page is shown on the shortcut.

Calendar tab:
Sense 2.1 - Shows Month view as default. A triangular block appears in the corner of a day where an appointment is scheduled. Pressing a day will open day view, listing all appointments for the day. The Calendar will also show the current weather for your Location, or another location specified in the world clock. Pressing on an appointment will open the appointment in the standard MS Calendar app.

Sense 2.5 - Shows Month view as default. A triangular block appears in the corner of a day where an appointment is scheduled. Pressing a day will open day view, listing all appointments for the day. The Calendar will also show the current weather for your Location, or another location specified in the world clock. There is also an option for "Agenda" view, which shows all of your current meetings/appointments for several days, and a "Year" view, whcih allows you to see the entire year right on the Manila page. There's also Week view which displays any appointments for the week, and shows all available time slots in each day. Pressing on a specific appointment in either Agenda or Day view will open an enhanced Appointment Editor which allows you to contact the meeting organizer or recipients, and review other meeting information. This feature also requires the HTC Messaging Client.

Stocks tab:
I don't personally use this tab, so I'm not entirely sure, but this appears to be just about identical in both versions.

Photos & Videos tab:
At first glance, the tabs look the same. There's a stack of pictures, and the user can flick up and down to go through them. Pressing one opens Album. The difference is that when rotating the device to Landscape. for Sense 2.1, you basically get the same interface. In 2.5, however, there's an animation, and you get a full-screen interface that allows you to scroll through the pictures. Pressing on a picture will animate it until it is fullscreen.

Music tab:
Sense 2.1 - Shows 3D Album art, "Shuffle" and "Repeat" indicators, scroll up & down buttons & play button on right side of interface. Rotating keeps these same elements, just moving their location.

Sense 2.5 - Shows Album art, Play/Pause button, forward, backward buttons underneath Album art. "Shuffle" & "Repeat" indicators at top right are pressable, and in top left there is the option to download Album art using Gracenote. When rotating the device, you get a fullscreen, enhanced interface that allows you to scroll through albums quickly. Pressing an album will bring up a list of all songs from that Album on the left side of the screen, and this list is scrollable. Pressing a song on this list will play the song, with a speaker next to the title indicating the selected song is playing.

Weather tab:
This tab is very close to identical in both versions. Both feature "My Location", which uses Google Location Service to pinpoint your location using cell-phone-tower triangulation. This information links back to the World Clock in showing the Weather at your current location. The only discernable difference between 2.1 & 2.5 that I saw is that 2.5 features fullscreen Weather animations on this tab based on current conditions (not just on the Home tab).

Other tabs:
Sense 2.5 also features 2 tabs that Sense 2.1 doesn't: Twitter, and Footprints. "HTC Peep", a.k.a. the Manila Twitter tab, shows all your current Tweets, and notifies you when you get any new ones. The Footprints tab allows you to take photos and save them with specific GPS information so that you can 'Show them on Map' (requires Google Maps), or navigate to them using GPS Software (the Leo comes with NaviPanel software & CoPilot GPS Navigator). This tab has limited functionality on our devices, since it is dependent on the Leo hardware.

Settings tab:
This tab is probably the biggest difference between the interfaces.
Sense 2.1 - Offers options to:
  • Sync data
  • Open Comm Manager
  • Change Wallpaper
  • set sounds & notifications
  • customize tab order
  • open Contact Card
  • toggle Location Service
  • Enable Auto-rotation.
Sense 2.5 - Using HTC's "Settings Improvement" package, this tab integrates directly into the system, bypassing almost all MS versions of Settings. There are options to:
  • "Personalize" (Set wallpaper, customize tabs)
  • Wireless Controls (Comm Manager)

WOOOOW the captain's rom.....
man can't wait to flash it
waitin for thr 21885 2.1 manila version....soon i hope :D
It's uploading now - but it's customized for the AT&T Fuze, so you'll need to adjust the registry for the Touch Pro keyboard (ProFuze will do the trick), or the many keyboard tweak CABs floating around here. Connection Setup should take care of the network settings :).

manila 2.1 sense is amazing, i've flashed the 21885 but i'll say what i think of it so far based on that i'm a TP user not fuze
- it'd be great if u post a cab for the latest amarullz Rhodium Phone Canvas or his latest qilin with video call working
- icons for the accesories, multimedia...etc folders
- settings icon in the start menu takes me to the manila settings page instead of windows settings which i dont like, coz if i click on settings in windows menu then i want the windows settings folder :D
...thats about if for now, i'll keep on testin & tell u wt else i find
i c my self sticking with ur rom if i can make another version "or with cabs" to fit TP as much as it fits FUZE
great work mate...thx

Pagepool Size...

Posted this question on the ED/TP thread as well, but I guess this one will probably become the more active of the two threads. Looks like the pagepool is set to 6 megs on each of the 3 builds. Seems a little on the low side these days, though I must admit that I have yet to really test out the performance. I thought the raph's sweet spot was around 16 to 20 megs. Just curious if the chef has intentionally set it to 6 megs for optimal performance?

Hi Capt,
Using your 21885 w Sense 2.1 and it is amazing. Would like to know
- How to disable vibration caused by pressing Manila Tabs (People,Message etc.)?
- Batterry drained very fast. Will it be better after couple charges ?
Thanks, Bhumdech

I think for the next go-round I'll make a TP ROM as well, that doesn't include the AT&T Customizations, comes with the keyboard pre-mapped to the TP layout, uses Opera w/o the AT&T Proxy Settings, and includes amarullz's Rhodium Dialer w/Video Call.

As far as the Settings icon, the one in the Start Menu is actually a shortcut. You can delete it, and change this registry key to get the regular one back:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:0

apps i think will be handy for most users

The Album in the Sense 2.5 ROM is the one that includes Social Networking Support. It's doesn't integrate so well with 2.1 (the Facebook Engine conflicts with the one for Manila)

I usually set my PagePool to 16MB. I've been rebuilding my kitchen & must've just forgot to change it. I'll do that for the next (set of) ROMs.

Battery drain *may* get better, but that may also depend on the radio you're using. I'm using the one that comes with the 5.11.502.2 AT&T ROM (Radio 1.14.25.35). Changing the radio might make a difference (but make sure you give it a few days to settle in).

I neglected to include the "Touch Options" applet in Settings that allows you to easily disable tab vibration (but I think it may also disable other vibration as well). Maybe I'll include it in the next one. In the meantime, you can disable it with this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"ApVibrationOn"=dword:0 ;1=on, 0=off

EDIT: OR, install the cab posted above (thanks for the help, paulyluca)

I will (eventually) update the posts on the first page with this "important" information. It's my first ROM thread, so I'm still getting a feel for it :rolleyes:.

    is there any way to disable the caller id slide to unlock? sometimes its a pain to pick up a call and depending if my hands are at all wet i cant slide the slide to pick up a call
    No, not really. You do know you can use the hardware keys to answer the phone, right?

    There aren't any non-Slide-to-Answer dialers being made by HTC anymore. The last one I know of was the original Raphael dialer (which doesn't play nice with Sense or WM 6.5).

    There is a hack to use the stock Dialer, I think. But it's definitely not as pretty, and I'm not sure how well it works, to be honest :rolleyes:.

    * IMPORTANT *

    THIS IS A GSM ROM. Do NOT use this ROM if you have a CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) Touch Pro!!!

    To flash a custom ROM, you MUST first flash Hard-SPL by OliNex!!

    If you don't know what's involved with flashing a ROM, PLEASE see mskip's guide for n00bs!!

    A BIG special thanks to XDA member dschlaefer for donating his Fuze so I can continue cooking for the Raphael!!

    I know what you're thinking. Does this forum really need another ROM thread? I agree; I don't think it does either. But, here I am, opening one anyway.

    So, here's the skinny:

    These ROMs are based on builds 23554, 23541, 21898, and 21893, and are customized for the AT&T HTC Fuze and Touch Pro. One series includes Sense 2.5 VGA, and the other includes Sense 2.1 VGA. For those who want lower CPU usage, go with the Sense 2.1 version.

    The 218XX version will generally be the most stable, so if that's what you're looking for, that's the one I'd go with :rolleyes:.

    I use the 4-row Start Menu (thanks to showaco), because I like it :p.

    For the Sense 2.1 lovers . . .

    Here's my "refreshed" Sense 2.1 ROM.

    Changes since previous version:
    • 6.5.x Build updated to 23149 (COM 3)
    • AMeBa removed from ROM in favor of uTask (smaller memory footprint). NOTE: Long Press Start button now opens Comm Manager, Task Manager icon on Home screen opens Windows Task Manager.
    That's all I can think of for now - it's likely there are other updates (I basically had to rebuild the entire ROM, since my kitchen's been updated).

    I must admit, I had forgotten how smooth Sense 2.1 is . . . (I do still prefer all of the other features of Sense 2.5). To each his own, I suppose.

    Oh right, almost forgot. Here's the link:

    I responded to the 1st two via PM, but I'm not aware of that 3rd item. Is there an additional fix you need for Rogers to fix the timestamp on SMS?

    Got the PM ... much appreciated. Some carriers such as Rogers/Fido have an issue with SMS timestamping. Here's a link to a .CAB for those experiencing a time offset issue with SMS:

    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2252296&postcount=5


    The .CAB changes the first registry key below ... but it's possible that the second registry location is required as well.

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
    "TrustTimeZoneField"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\SMS\]
    "RecvTimeStamp"=dword:00000001

    Hi cap :) So i was thinking about new rom :) Are there any new things you could cook in ? You can add hotfixes and so on :)
    I can't think of any reason to cook a new ROM at this point. I'm running a 23151 version of my Sense 2.1 ROM on my Fuze, and it's just about perfect. I almost don't want to cook anything else & ruin it :rolleyes:.
