Welcome to the EnergyROM thread !



This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) device.


The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs about twice a week, as new builds come down the pipe or as new software/updates are available.

I build my ROMs with four main goals.

  • Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
  • Speed !!!
  • Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
  • Stability through private beta testing before public release

I pre-configure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.

I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!


Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.


  • A 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner. This build uses the same stock system that came with your device. This is usually the fastest and most stable build, but it's also the least fancy
    smile.gif

  • A 29022 Build that's the latest in Microsoft's development with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys, making it all very "finger friendly". These builds reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. Most people choose this build... Why else would you install a custom ROM ?
    smile.gif
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.

It's definitely the fastest way to get in touch with me and please don't be afraid to tweet me if you see major issues with the ROMs.
I generally do not answer "support" questions on Twitter, as it's really not the proper medium for that. Service packs and quick fixes will always be released as links in my tweets and that's definitely the fastest way to get a fix for a ROM.

This post features all the Cookie Hometab based ROMs I make.


The original ROM is the "energy" version and that's a good starting point. All the rest, are themes applied to that ROM.
They all come in two versions,
Cookie 1.8.5 and Cookie 2.0 (the ROM filename will be labeled "Cookie" and "Cookie.2.0, plus the name of the theme)

You can see more screenshots of these ROMs a couple of posts down.

The two Cookie versions look pretty similar, but Cookie 2.0 has multiple sliding homescreens/freely moveable widgets (similar to Android) and
quite a few more features and speed.


EnergyROM_Blackstone_Energy.png


My own 'Energy' style


  • This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
  • Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
  • Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
  • 3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
  • 3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !
  • Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
EnergyROM_Blackstone_xMas.png

'Energy' style Christmas Edition

  • This is just like the ROM above, but with a Christmas theme applied !
EnergyROM_Blackstone_Dinik.png

Dinik's "Anastasia"
  • This ROM series is skinned with Dinik's great "Anastasia" theme applied on everything.
  • Everything has been skinned, including Sense, the start menu items, the soft keyboard, parts of the dialer... etc
EnergyROM_Blackstone_Sencity.png

_LeCiel_'s ".sencity"

  • This ROM is themed with the .sencity theme released by _LeCiel_ who is a very talented artist ! Please support his work if possible.
  • .sencity is not %100 complete yet, but _LeCiel_ is working hard on finishing his work to completely skin the entire ROM.
  • Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
EnergyROM_Blackstone_TouchOfGlass.png

DJC & Bobsbbq's "Touch Of Glass"
  • This ROM series is skinned with DJC's "Touch of Glass" theme throughout Sense and the Start Menu
  • More will be skinned as DJC continues his work on the theme in the future...
  • Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
EnergyROM_Blackstone_GTX.png

ElCondor's "GTX"

  • This ROM has the white GTX theme applied
  • Android styled taskbar, matching dialer, matching start menu background and Action screen background
  • GTX is a total reskin of the operating system, so expect a very different (white) experience

'Standard' ROMs that have no addons installed on the homescreen. Stock Sense 2.5 !

EnergyROM_Blackstone_Standard.png

'Energy'

  • This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster
  • This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.
  • There are no homescreen addon-ons in this ROM. The best speed and the most stock functionality.
EnergyROM_Blackstone_Reference.png

'Reference'

  • This ROM is mostly for people that want a close to stock ROM with the stock visual style. It's also perfect for doing your own customizations.
  • A lot of the cooked in apps are removed in this ROM, the Start menu back to the stock 3 row style
  • Sense and everything else is back to the default HTC green.







ROMs mostly created for enthusiasts...


EnergyROM_Blackstone_MaxSense.png

MaxSense UI (android style homescreen)


  • This is a complete rewrite of the Sense homescreen, by maxycy.
  • It features a 3 screen, Android style, homescreen with widgets! The widgets can be placed ANYWHERE on the three screens.
  • 75 Quicklink accessible on all tabs
  • You should really visit the original thread for this mod shown on the next line to see all the features!
  • Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <.
EnergyROM_Blackstone_Titanium.png

Titanium (ROMs for raw speed!)

  • This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
  • You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
  • Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...

NRG Blackstone ROMS F.A.Q.


If a working solution was found for a recent problem please send a PM to me with a link to the post, in order to update the FAQ


FLASHING


Q: ????
A: Before you post a question please read at least 15-20 pages and search.

A: You might not get the answer you need, as it's already there.

Q: My device is Omnia/Xperia (or any other than HTC HD). How can i install you Rom?? I like it a lot.
A: NO-NO-NO. These roms are ONLY for HTC HD (Blackstone).
You will brick (destroy) your device. Go to the forum of your device, NRG makes ROMs for all modern HTC devices.

Q: When will the Next Update of NRG ROM be released?
A: There is no point in asking this question. The updates come when they come, as there is no schedule.
A tweeter account and following NRG is a good source of info about new roms from NRG

Q: Are there any Mirrors to download from?
A: For current ROMs, the answer is No, due to the Chef's request. However, NRGZ28 agrees to post mirror links for previous ROM releases.

TIPS and TRICKS

A: See this solutions here from koalalek
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7824695&postcount=15961

Q: I have a Call waiting vibration instead of the peep tone!
A: I had an active vibration on waiting notifications, default value was pw3v, and solved it with the below.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallWaiting\Script]
Change the value to pw3pw3p

p = Play ringtone
w = Wait number of seconds
v = Vibrate

Q: Where is the HTC Messaging client?
A: This can be downloaded from the Addons page.

Q: My ActiveSync isn't working and I get some weird errors (ex: 0x86000C2A, 0x86000C2B, 0x00.......).
A: Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC -> Untick the "Enable Faster Data Synchronization" checkbox.
Make sure you're typing your data correctly, specially the server name. Alot of us (including myself) have been there before.
You may need to terminate the relationship between your phone & your PC, remove your settings from ActiveSync, hard reset, then reestablish the connection again.
Microsoft mentioned that some errors might be due to a recent faulty entry (contact, email attachment, appointment, ... etc). So, try to sync one item only (e.g., contacts). If it worked, you need to recheck your recently-added items & eliminate the faulty one.
This registry seemed to work with a couple of ActiveSync errors.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000100c"=dword:00000040

Q: How can I Revert back to Original WM LockScreen instead of the Android one?
A: Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Switch Lockscreens.

Q: The new NRGZ Chat bubble SMS conversation doesn't work, when I install the ROM, I get the classic SMS compose view.
A: Scroll to "Messaging" in sense, click all messages button. From there you can find the bubble style.

Q: When opening photos, I get a small centered picture instead of full screen.
A: That's called a thumbpic...If you have a folder that's called....thumb something on your sd card..I wll sugest for you to delete it
Solution from M_T_M

Q: My wifi connection turns on/off by it self.
A: You always use the comm manager to set on/off the radio (phone-BT-WiFi). Some times the cht switches have problems.

Q: I want to change the Language of the HTC Sense
A: Open the registry and go to the key HKCU\Mui. Change the value of the key CurLang to your country code from this MS table.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294.aspx
Some Country Codes
409 ---> English
408 ---> Greek
407 ---> German
410 ---> Italian
413 ---> Netherlands
415 ---> Polish
Save the registry and softreset

XDA_UC FAQ


The XDA_UC cooked in my ROMs is modified from the stock XDA_UC made by Noonski. Great addon, by the way... Noonski did a great job with this !

The version in my ROMs is trimmed down to fit the needs of my ROM series.


Some of the extra features are:



  • It will copy shortcuts (.lnk files) found in \XDA_UC\Start Menu\ to the device's start menu folder (\windows\Start Menu) in the hierarchy that it finds on the storage card. For example: Let's say you have a navigation package on the storage card, like Navigon. If you make a shortcut to the navigon.exe file as Navigon.lnk and copy it to \XDA_UC\Start Menu\GPS\ as "Navigon.lnk" then on a fresh ROM install it will copy any shortcuts it finds there to the same location on the device, so it'll end up in \Windows\Start Menu\GPS\. This works for other folders on the Start Menu as well. Just put the shortcuts in \xda_uc\Start Menu\ in the folders you will like the shortcuts to appear to, on the device.

  • It will copy a custom splash screen from \Storage Card\XDA_UC\welcomehead.192.png to \windows automatically and overwrite the one in the ROM.

  • It will copy a custom Sense background found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\wallpaper_sense.png to the device and set that wallpaper as default in Sense. So rename your wallpaper as "wallpaper_sense.png" and drop it in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\ and on the next ROM flash that wallpaper will become your wallpaper in Sense.


Other than that XDA_UC works as designed by Noonski and it will do the following things:



  • It will automatically import your PPCbackup (*.pib) file found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

  • It will install custom XDAS scripts found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

  • It will silently install CAB files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

  • It will install special CAB files that require user input (such as Agreements or any type of prompt) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD

  • It will silently import REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

  • It will silently install REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter, as exported by my own Settings Exporter, ONLY if the "automatic" file is also present in that folder (and it most cases it should be, enable that option in the Settings Export application's menu)

  • It will silently import XML files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

  • It will silently import CER files (usually Exchange certificates) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

  • It will silently run custom MSCR files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\


That's it, but don't forget to checkout the Addons folder and look in the XDA_UC section for tips and tutorials on how to export your email/wifi settings and various little .reg and tweaks you can add to your XDA_UC collection.

As always don't forget to check what installs automatically before reporting a problem with the ROM. Most of the time, if you notice you have a problem that nobody else is experience is because one of the cabs you dropped in the XDA_UC folder is installing automatically while you don't even think about it.

    Welcome to the EnergyROM thread !



    This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) device.


    The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs about twice a week, as new builds come down the pipe or as new software/updates are available.

    I build my ROMs with four main goals.

    • Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
    • Speed !!!
    • Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
    • Stability through private beta testing before public release

    I pre-configure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.

    I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!


    Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.


    • A 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner. This build uses the same stock system that came with your device. This is usually the fastest and most stable build, but it's also the least fancy
      smile.gif

    • A 29022 Build that's the latest in Microsoft's development with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys, making it all very "finger friendly". These builds reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. Most people choose this build... Why else would you install a custom ROM ?
      smile.gif
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.

    It's definitely the fastest way to get in touch with me and please don't be afraid to tweet me if you see major issues with the ROMs.
    I generally do not answer "support" questions on Twitter, as it's really not the proper medium for that. Service packs and quick fixes will always be released as links in my tweets and that's definitely the fastest way to get a fix for a ROM.

    'Standard' ROMs that have no addons installed on the homescreen. Stock Sense 2.5 !

    • This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster
    • This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.
    • There are no homescreen addon-ons in this ROM. The best speed and the most stock functionality.

    EnergyROM_Blackstone_Titanium.png

    Titanium (ROMs for raw speed!)

    • This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
    • You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
    • Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...

    This post features all the Cookie Hometab based ROMs I make.


    The original ROM is the "energy" version and that's a good starting point. All the rest, are themes applied to that ROM.
    They all come in two versions,
    Cookie 1.8.5 and Cookie 2.0 (the ROM filename will be labeled "Cookie" and "Cookie.2.0, plus the name of the theme)

    You can see more screenshots of these ROMs a couple of posts down.

    The two Cookie versions look pretty similar, but Cookie 2.0 has multiple sliding homescreens/freely moveable widgets (similar to Android) and
    quite a few more features and speed.

    My own 'Energy' style


    • This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
    • Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
    • Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
    • 3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
    • 3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !

    Guide to fast "ready to go " after flashing... XDA_US Scripts Examples

    Hi all

    As i promise to some of you, this is my Howto guide on what to do before and after a flash to have
    you device and your data up and running in no time

    Most of the pre flashing stuff they have to be done ONCE, some of them like backup of PIM data every time before flash

    Probably i am forgetting things so i will add them as we go...


    1. What to backup before flashing..

    1.1
    Put all your app cabs in the folder \Storage card\XDA_UC.
    Any registry (.reg) and mortscript files (.mscr) also put them here.
    In the folder \XDA_UC\Start Menu you can put any shortcust to app that are installed on sd

    1.2 Make a backup of your pim data with pimbackup.Keep that file in SD card\XDA_UC folder.
    If you care about facebook links to your contacts then use outlook or better (for me)
    use the free MS MyPhone service and the app \tools\Myphone to backup all pim data
    (it does't make backup of call logs)

    1.3 In tools\setting export and "export everything".Also in the menu chose autoimport.
    In my opinion its better after this to go to \SD\XDA_UC\Exporter and delete the following files:
    SenseSettings.reg - SenseSettingsCookieLayout.reg - SenseTabs.reg
    All the others are ok. Keep in mind that passwords for facebook twitter and bluetooth
    are not saved.

    1.4 In CHT editor go to menu and export setting ... Select an sd folder and export your settings

    1.5 Copy to SD card the files : "\Application Data\HTC\ygo\ygoservice.db" for the stocks and
    the file "\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol" for the music playlist.

    1.6 Run the app Backup favpeople and in setting setup the folder to sd and check
    the manila 2.5 compatible. Then chose Backup contacts

    1.7 i have attached 1 file for e-mail and 1 for wi-fi, change the settings to yours and save them
    for easy setup mails and wi-fi

    1.8 With a registry editor open the registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software.
    Here are all of your app installed and if there is an app that needs alot of settings
    export the application key.
    There is a pc application(CERegeditor link in the end of the post) that make the hole
    editing easy, and you can edit in your pc.
    Move all those registry files in the XDA_UC folder.

    1.9 If there are any files that must be copied back to the main memory after flash (like the
    stock file or the audio palylist file or any shortcuts to sd application) the follow my
    guide in th wiki to make a copyfiles.mscr file and place it to XDA_UC folder
    Link:
    http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php..._UC_to_autocopy_files_and_folders_after_Flash

    1.10 Sample copyfiles.mscr... Copy and paste to Notepad, Change add or remove your files and folders.
    Save as copyfiles.mscr and move the file to XDA_UC folder

    Code:
    ####################################################################
    ##### this block of code will move the Backlight.lnk from programs folder to  tools folder If ( FileExists( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Backlight.lnk" )=TRUE )
          rename( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Backlight.lnk", "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\Backlight.lnk", TRUE )
       Else
          SleepMessage( 5, "No Backlight.lnk rename/move...bye!", "No File to move!" )
       EndIf
    
    ####################################################################
    ########This block of code will make a folder in "\Program Files\" with name  xdaShutdown and then will copy the contens of the folder \Storage Card\cabs\My  cabs\xdaShutdown to that folder. 
    
       MkDir( "\Program Files\xdaShutdown" )
       If ( DirExists( "\Storage Card\cabs\My cabs\xdaShutdown" ) )
          XCopy( "\Storage Card\cabs\My cabs\xdaShutdown\*.*", "\Program Files\xdaShutdown", TRUE, TRUE )
       Else
          SleepMessage( 5, "Nothing to copy... goodbye!", "Problem!" )
       EndIf
    
    ####################################################################
    ###### This block of code will copy file ygoservice.db form storage card to  folder \Application Data\HTC\ygo. 
    
      If ( FileExists( "\Storage Card\ygoservice.db" )=TRUE )
           copy( "\Storage Card\ygoservice.db", "\Application Data\HTC\ygo\ygoservice.db", TRUE )
      Else
           SleepMessage( 5, "Nothing to rename/move... goodbye!", "Problem!" )
      EndIf


    1.11
    Sugocy post a way to copy the backup file AudioManager_Eng.vol with the code bellow
    Code:
    MkDir( "\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng" )
    If ( DirExists( "\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng" ) )
    copy( "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\AudioManager_Eng.vol", "\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol", TRUE )
    Else
    SleepMessage( 5, "Playlist did not Copy", "Problem!" )
    EndIf

    2. After Flash


    2.1 The XDA_UC script will do the following things for you automaticly.
    Will Install all the cabs (1.1)
    Will imports all the registry files in the XDA_UC folder (1.8)
    Will run any .mscr file (like copyfile.mscr) and do all the copy staff for you (1.9)
    Will Import all the setting exported by the Setting exporter (1.3)
    Will import any xml files (1.7)
    Will copy all the shortcuts in the \XDA_UC\Start Menu to \Windows\Start Menu (1.1)
    Will run the pimbackup app for restoring you PIM data (contacts ect) (1.2)
    (this needs some user innput thats why runs in the end)
    After all will ask you to softreset.

    2.2 If you have used the Myphone app for backup Run the app and select the restore option
    to restore all the data that you have backup.

    2.3 Make all the updates to mails location weather and facebook.


    Usally after this your device its ready and you are good to go.
    With this procedure i am up and runing in 15 min flat after a flash.

    Easy way to export or inport registry files from your PC

    The easyest way is to use the CERegedit app that i post in the guide.
    Here you go step by step

    Install it on the pc and after connecting the device run the app.

    Export
    In the menu connection select connect and you will see the registry tree of the device.
    Then go to the branch \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
    Some app have and other info stored in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Sotware
    maybe you have to export the settings from both branches

    Here you will see all the installed apps.

    Find the one you want to export settings and left click on the name and from the contest menu select "Export".
    Give a folder and name to your file and in "Save as type" menu select "Registry file (.reg)"
    Thats all .. you exported your registry settings fro that app.
    Place that reg file in xda_uc and it will imported automaticly after the flash


    PS: The attached file contains the program ceregedit for editing the device registry on the pc and the 2 files mentioned in 1.7 for mail and wi-fi auto setup.

    EDIT: Updated rar file with correct Mail and wi-fi provisional XML files
    Encoding changed to ANSI
