Scott (scrosler) gave me permission to branch off development of his M2D Round 4 Reloaded ROM, since he'd officially abandoned his Titan development. He's having too much fun with his new Touch Pro ROM cooking.
STABLE BRANCH 1.3.4 [02/20/2009]
These first releases of what I'm calling Titan Reloaded is pretty similar to his loaded ROM and just includes some minor updates and tweaks, which are detailed on the download page here:
http://www.pdamag.com/roms/
Instructions and caveats here:
http://www.pdamag.com/rom-install-instructions/
Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 is out and contains tons of changes, check them out!
Thanks to xda-developers and members scrosler, dcd1182, and no2chem.
I'm starting this thread to support the users of this branch. Thank you for trying it.
FAQ
Q: When I switch to lanscape mode, or open the keyboard, why doesn't M2D switch to landscape?
A: Lanscape mode isn't supported in M2D, and I can't add it, since I didn't write it and don't have the source.
Q: Why doesn't the flash on the camera work?
A: The version 5 camera is installed by default as it seems to take better pictures, and it doesn't support flash. If you want the flash back, download the kitchen instead of the standard ROM and customize your ROM before flashing it with the version 4 camera. I challenge you to show me a picture that came out better with the puny "flash" on this camera, though.
Q: Why doesn't the "ok" hardware button open the start menu?
A: I haven't figured that out myself. It seems that M2D takes control of that hardware button and I can't fix it. Try using the start menu hardware button instead.
Q: I'm having a problem with the stable branch, how do I get help?
A: There are no known issues. First try doing a hard reset after flashing (hold both softkeys, the hardware buttons with dots on them in while pressing in the reset button with your stylus. Then press the hardware R and space keys when prompted.) Then try to reproduce your problem without installing any custom software in the kitchen or after flashing. If you can reproduce it, please provide the steps to reproduce in the forum and ask for assistance.

BETA BRANCH 1.4b2 [02/20/2009]
Also check out the 1.4 beta 2 which upgrades 2DManila (including footprints), HTC Album, and HTC Audio Manager from a new HTC release. Also included the previously missing Audio Booster. Upgraded Youtube with working finger scroll. Now using default theme, which can still be changed from M2DC. Also installed the Volume Control. The carrier cabs have been upgraded and are now installed under My Documents by default. No more app bundle installed. I haven't tested those apps with the new Manila. I also upgraded the sys files to new OS version.
Because it may not be obvious, to non-software developers. The beta ROM probably has bugs. I need feedback to fix them. Please don't run it if you don't find it fun beta testing. If you want stable, please go with 1.3.4 for now.
http://www.pdamag.com/downloads/TitanReloaded_1.4b2.rar
There are a lot of known issues with the beta at this time:
1. In call volume adjustment doesn't work (some report this works though?)
2. Custom cities in weather tab may not work?
3. If your phone gets stuck on vibrate, go into Start->Settings->Phone-> and Change to Ring.
Update 09/04/2012 - Kitchen is available for beta.
Thanks!
cant wait for the kitchen since i need SIP change and Data backup in my phone at all times. thanks for keeping this going for us xv6800 users
bitserve: thanks for keeping the Titan ROMs alive.
bitserve, thanks for your work. it's good to see what started (which is freaking awesome, by the way!!), will continue. happy holidays to you all.
What are the two issues and quickfixes?
From bitserve's site:
TitanReloaded 1.0 Known Issues [12/16/2008]
* Location tab search doesn’t open GoogleMaps. A quick fix is to copy \Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe to \Windows
* Internet tab doesn’t open Internet Explorer. A quick fix is to set [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget]

Looks good. I'm looking forward to flashing this when I get home.
I just flashed it on my Mogul(useless Qwest phone) and I liked it, so I flashed it on my XV6800 and it's awesome. Keep up the good work.
Flashed it and it's working wonderfully.
Hey Bitserve,
When i get some time, i'll flash your rom

Wish I had a Titan so I could te.... On second thought. I will just say Good Job and thanks for keeping the Titan scene going!
Im not giving up my TP for anything ;c)
I just started looking again at the different ROM's out there since I had a few days to try and update things again on my phone.
I flashed this yesterday and have noticed a few things. I will list some of them.
The interface is very nice. The app shortcuts are easily added to the application page. Colors are customizable and are easily seen.
My phone seems to react very slowly to the bluetooth and the music app would not even open. Not sure why? There needs to be a regedit app installed. The quick access menu that I've been used to is gone, would be nice to see the Contacts and some of the others that are in the "start" menu that are used frequently still show up there. The used applications are cleared when the phone is shut off and restarted, so when you try to get to a previously used app, you need to go back through the menu selections to find it again. A GPS app would be nice as well. I couldn't get the Google Maps to find any satellites though. I know the phone with Verizon can be a little finicky for GPS at times. Although I did have it working a while back with a different install and was great.
The camera and photo viewer are SWEET. They work very well. I may have to try a different build and see how that works for the time being, but will be back when there are a few other mod's to this one. It looks very promising.
Also, my kids grabbed my phone and were disappointed that there weren't any games other than the default MS ones.
A couple more things I noticed, are that the battery indicator did have colors to it (very nice), although the number of bars didn't change and I ran it to nothing thinking I was also getting incredible battery life. Theclock seemed to lock up and not update.
I recently changed from a Hermes to the 6800 and have been looking for the perfect ROM (for me). I have to tell you I found it. This is the first ROM I have tried that everything works and is set up for my needs. Thank you & looking forward to your next update.
This is sweet..I have some questions
How do I get the OK button (side) working on the home page? Basically to open the start menu like in the OEM roms?
Also I have the callhistory.exe file how to I get the Voice button to open it?
Another thing is how to I make the scroll bar on the side wider?

OK to add to this, I installed the ROM pack and now mthe phone works funny.
The dialer display cuts off some numbers and the right hand scroll bar in the folders acts funny. also the Screen align does not work.

What you guys think?

Do you mean that your bluetooth was slower than with the stock ROM? The Audio Manager works fine for me from both the tab and from start->programs. What changes have you made, or third party apps have you installed?
There needs to be a regedit app installed.

Well, I'm not sure it needs to be in the ROM. However, as I get further away from scott's original ROM, I'll be installing some freeware apps that I use regularly that I consider must haves. One will have a registry editor.
The quick access menu that I've been used to is gone, would be nice to see the Contacts and some of the others that are in the "start" menu that are used frequently still show up there. The used applications are cleared when the phone is shut off and restarted, so when you try to get to a previously used app, you need to go back through the menu selections to find it again.

I doubt that I'll ever add quick menu to this ROM, but I'll start offering a kitchen soon. I actually like the startclean app. I don't turn my phone off very often. When I do, it's because I want to clear everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251164
You can remove start clean from Windows\Start Up. You'll also be able to disable this in the kitchen.
A GPS app would be nice as well. I couldn't get the Google Maps to find any satellites though.

GoogleMaps is installed. I don't know of any other free ones that work better. Although maybe I'm unclear on what you mean GPS app? Make sure that you have GPS on under services under phone-> options. I usually am able to get a sattelite fine. What radio are you using?

I tested this by letting my battery running all the way down, before I released the ROM. I didn't have any problems. Also no problems with the clock. What changes have you made, or third party apps have you installed?

I just had to test and was surprised to find that worked from the today screen. My phone has a start button, which I always used for this. It looks like TouchFlo takes control of the OK button. Sorry. I'd recommend using the start button on your phone, if you have one. I'll fix it if I can.
Also I have the callhistory.exe file how to I get the Voice button to open it?

This worked on the stock ROM? From the today screen, this seems to open the voice memo recorder for me. You might try a hardware button configuration program.

I believe that scott made the scroll bar narrower, because this ROM was mostly supposed to be navigatable by finger. I would recommend using the scroll wheel or the dpad when possible. I actually prefer to have more screen than more scroll bar. However, here are the registry tweaks:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]
"cyHScr"=dword:13
"cxVScr"=dword:13
"cyVScr"=dword:13
"cxHScr"=dword:13
You'll be able to disable the narrow scroll bar in the kitchen. You can also install a 12 pixel scroll bar from the included ROM pack, under Apps.

Well, in my version, the Task Manager is already installed in the ROM. I wouldn't recommend installing the cab for it. Truthfully, the only other cab that I've tested is the Opal Style Comm Manager, which works fine. I don't care for the other apps.
You should definitely install them one at a time. I'm not sure how to even install multiple cabs at one time. You likely only want to install one carrier cab, also. My screen align works fine.
Great work. Looking forward eagerly to the next release, and the kitchen.
I have a problem. When I set up my gmail on my phone it won't receive messages. It always worked on DCD and I don't understand why it would just up and quit working. I haven't tried any other emails though because they changed the system at work from groupwise to exchange and I don't know the new servers since I am on break til the 5th. Has anyone been able to set up email on their phones? I feel so disconnected.
When is the next update going to be released? It is after the holidays.
Happy New Year!
I'm getting the same issue as Elizle. Pocket Outlook is having trouble connecting with the incoming mail server. Connecting to Gmail IMAP using FlexMail seems to work, but I'm not accustomed to its interface. I miss the integration with M2D.

It's weird that you're both having problems with gmail. I guess I'll have to get a gmail account and see if I can figure out the problem. If anything, I would expect this ROM to work better, as I included "Windows Mobile 6.1 Hotfix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail (KB958639)". I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for the feedback.

I've been somewhat silent on the forums but look at them everyday for updates and whatnot. I'm not new to flashing roms and everything but I cannot figure out this problem.
When I upgraded to DCD's 3.1.1 and then 3.1.2 I've noticed without doing anything on the phone the phone application opens itself. I dealt with it for a little while but its becoming a little annoying.
Programs I have installed:
SPB Pocket Plus 4.02
S2U2 1.01
Oxios Memory
HTC Album
Touchflo
Touchflo Config
Regedit
Today clock(made by someone in xda forums)
several have observed - just reload the dialer; worked 4 me!
No it's not the dialer that has to be reloaded. It's SPB. Uninstall SPB and then see if your problems go away.
I've tried reinstalling SPB, doesn't fix anything. Seems to happen more often after I've sent a text message? Also before I installed any programs it ran the phone app by itself, which makes me think its something to do with the rom more than my apps.
I'm having this same problem and I agree that it is annoying. I recently updated to dcd 3.1.2 from 3.0.1 with Sprint, and installed the same software as before. The only thing that has really changed is the ROM version.
Is there a cab somewhere to replace/reinstall the dialer?

It's a problem with SPB as I said. Reinstalling SPB will not fix the problem, you need to uninstall it and keep it uninstalled. Test to see if the problem is fixed WITHOUT SPB. It's not a problem with the rom.
Nope - it's the dialer. I'll see if I can find the link; it was posted in the main 3.1.2 thread soemwhere.

Alright well if you don't want to listen to me then that's your choice, but I can tell you right now the problem is NOT the dialer and is SPB. Installing a different dialer on top of the one you have now is a temporary fix and will most likely alter your dialer functions. I'm done arguing about it though so gl.
This was the post I found:
"Just install a new dialer (there are lots of them around in cab form) and that will solve both of your problems (EPST and the dialer popping up). I used "Wizard+reTouched_Dialer2". Google it."
The link I used is http://rapidshare.com/files/73141135/reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab
Fixed it for me anyway
gcincotta - ur right as usual - it did alter my dialing properties - I lost "plus 1" dialing capability.

Ok well you're not listening to me. YES THIS WILL "FIX" YOUR DIALER POPUP PROBLEM. That dialer breaks the smart functions of the dialer. The actual problem lies with SPB and has NOTHING to do with the dialer. If you uninstall SPB, which is the ACTUAL fix, then your dialer popup will be fixed and you won't have a broken dialer. To each his own though I guess.

I know that this is off topic, but can I ask you something? When you say "lost plus 1 dialing" are you saying that you could dial an international number by dialing plus instead of 011? I have wanted this functionality ever since I went from GSM to CDMA. Please tell if its true or if you meant something else.
There's much to much back and forth nonsense on this forum lately, so I'm not going to add to it. But I will tell you, that with pocket plus 4.02 and this dialer installed:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=291902&postcount=50
the problem goes away without affecting smart dialing or +1 dialing-FOR ME. So, as in the other cases, I'd say its fine to express an opinion about how YOUR phone works with your settings and programs, no one can state absolutes, since everyone has different setups.

Yes, this dialer seems to work without breaking the dialer functions.
I wasn't telling him what to do. I wasn't even telling him that by installing another dialer it wouldn't fix the problem. I was stating that the problem itself is not the dialer, and is SPB. That is not an opinion. What people do to their phones is their business.
Well...like i said before this happend BEFORE i installed any programs, which is why i dont think it is spb. BUT, since you think is it SPB, what can i do to fix the problem without changing dialers and without removing SPB. I've never had this problem before the 3.x.x series roms and i would like to keep SPB because of the functionality. Thanks
I don't agree either that it is SPB, because its only shown up on this build, and I have run other builds without this problem. Wouldn't give up SPB. but know of no other way to fix the problem without loading a different dialer.

Ok well if you don't agree that it's SPB that's fine. We can agree to disagree.
I will however say that it's a fact that it's not a problem with the dialer. As I've said before, I've been part of the rigorous testing of 3.0.6 (test build that was never released), 3.1.0 (test build that was never released), 3.1.1, and 3.1.2, all before they are released on here. I've flashed 3.1.2 close to 40 times now both through testing and after release, on two different devices (Verizon xv6800 and Sprint Mogul) and I've never seen this problem arise on a clean rom build (see jpeg attached to see included items in BuildOS for clean build).
I have had this issue as well and I do not use any SPB software. It seems to happen after I send sms messages.
have to concur. I noticed this too. Now I upgraded directly from 2.12 and I do not run and SPB apps.
In my instance I also get PIE and other apps opening. Messaging could be the culprit, seems like I have seen this happen before.
I run on Today
Wisbar
iLauncher
PocketBreeze
PhoneWeaver
Other Apps
Pocket CM and various non active apps.
I am going to try and forcibly minimize messenger via wisbar and see what happens
The only answer then is that one of SPB's dependencies matches something that you people without any SPB software installed have on your devices.
Hi,
tested tt7 on my Ameo
all work file with new maps as well..
Attached pic..
That is good news, thanks!
Do you have the program available for download or is it already available on TomTom's website?
I heard that it is just a cosmetic overhaul of version 6 and that the 6.75 maps will also work with it. Can you confirm?
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Please don't post TT7 warez links here.

I can confirm the following:
- You can download a v7 map of a city of your choice at zero cost as a taster
- MapShare is there!
- Reports itself as v7450
- Compatible with at v7 maps, v6 not tested, why would you want a map THAT old?
- Works with TomTom Home 2 (but TTH2 reports that an invalid version is installed at the moment)

The download is a taster version stripped from the diamond rom. It is currently or was posted in the kaiser software section. And in that section they allow the taster version, but discussions of downloading maps other than from TOM TOM are not allowed.
No TT6 maps do not work, the free one city maps work great. And some have purchased maps for the tomtom 720 from TomTom and they work on the kaiser. See that forum for more discussion too.
I loved the speed limit warning and the ability to update the map by yourself (however see my comment below on some problems enounterd in this regards). I also love the voice warning for red light camera, speed camera, as well as school zones (very critical feature in Australia).
I was testing out the ability to enter missing road speed limit. It let me do it. However, whatever changes I recorded does not seem to be saved. If I travel the same stretch of road again, or plan a route covering the changed road, the simulation showned only the speed of travel but showed blank for the speed limit.
Anyone has success updating speed limit?
BTW, you can move the application out of your internal memory to any place you want. In my case, I moved the application to \Microdrive\Program Files\Navigator. This would save you lots of device memory.

You must first install into device memory, then move it out later. The spinning seems to go on and on, but be very patient because it will eventually install. I made the same mistake as you in the begining thinking that nothing is happening and I kept soft reseting. Just let it spin for longer and take a long coffee break then come back.

Only by trying out will you find out, I think. Perhaps you could first back up your device and try out the latest irus Ultra Vanilla
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402654
The AP4 has the auto-rotate and TouchFlo, both of which consumes lots of resources. It may or may not be the cause of your inability to install. Others with AP4 might be able to share their experience here. However, there is no harm trying, is there?

Ok, now that I've had my phone for like 5 days. I am wondering how to do a couple more things to it.
First off, I got this used and it was completely as it would be from Sprint. Since then I've done the following.
1. Installed WM6.1 Update from Sprint
2. Installed Picture Mail Feature from Sprint
3. Installed Oxios memory app
4. Installed HTC Home Plugin
5. Installed S2U2, S2P, S2V
6. Samsung Omnia 3d Driver
7. Kaiser 10 button comm manager
8. Google Maps
I'm sure there might be a couple insignificant ones I am forgetting.
What I want to do, if possible is...
1. Make favorite contacts screen in HTC Home Plugin act differently. Right now if you push one of those contacts it goes directly to calling them and starts dialing. At the least I'd like to make it NOT auto-dial.
Ideally, I'd like them to link to the screen you get when you browse to them thru contacts, where you get a choice to call or text them.
I'd definitely settle for it not auto dialing though.
2. S2u2 I am having a slight issue with, when I receive a phone call, s2u2 bugs out. The screen flickers back and forth from the s2u2 screen and the today screen, and I can't unlock the phone to answer the call. I can only hit the talk button to answer it.
I'm running the latest version, are there any compatibility issues I might be running into.
3. Lastly, I am always looking for good suggestions on other applications to add. If anyone knows where I can find a good texas holdem game like the iphone has, that'd be cool.
What is the Sprint picture mail feature you speak of? It is an official release from sprint???
And I've had trouble with s2u2 as well. I just stuck with version 1.18. That seems like the most stable one for me.

my phone just got real bad to the point it would freeze when i tried to reply to texts. I never had an issue until I installed and used the no2chem nueled thing to get rid of the constant blinking light...wonder if that messed with it.
I ended up re-loading the htc wm6.1 sprint rom.
I couldn't figure out what else to do there.
Sprint picture mail is available from sprint, the default sprint page that loads when you open IE has a link to look for new applications, then its in the free/demo section.
Update:
FULL WORKING GPS, LIVE MAPS, GOOGLE SEARCH, VZ NAVIGATOR NOW POSSIBLE THANKS TO BORED!

Scott's VZNav ROM 1.0 for the Verizon XV6850
I built this ROM from the eRice Kitchen and the VZW OEM pack I created. Its not totally clean nor is it a bloated either. I amoved away from the 100% stock look. THis is just a good mix of tools and sensor apps while retaining a fairly stock look. I changed the default today theme and the modified the Verizon TouchFlow 3D look. I removed the internet, music and photo's tab for memory and speed. They can be added back in by the included TF3D Config.

Basic Instructions
Instructions:
Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell you if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect!
Link to unlocker is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
Download ROM and extract to desktop using WinRAR. Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions. Flashes just like any other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)
A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE NORMAL USAGE!

Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
You will note I added all my extra apps in Sensor Apps and Utilities keeping the Programs folder a little cleaner. You can also see that I mapped Contacts (iContacts to be exact) to the left softkey when on the home page. Thats a must have for me becuase I dont use the contacts tab.
Flashed and running nicely, seems off the bat more the smoothest to date, haven't yet done much customization but from just walking through it, it seems to me that it is actually reclaiming ram from closed apps a bit better, but could just be that new rom feel Did you happen to add the htc update to this one by any chance or will i still need to install that?, all in all impressive as usual. Thanks for your hard work and mad kudo's.
Don't you sleep?
I will be trying the ROM either later today or tomorrow.
I look forward to reporting nothing but AWESOMEness back.
Awesome man, we all really appreciate your hard work. Havent tried out your new Rom yet, still pleased with your Rev 1 . Do look forward to the screenshots though, sounds tempting.
Nice rom! Thanks for supporting VZW TP!
can someone link me the stock vzw rom...not the prerelease that i found on ppcgeeks sticky page, i plan on exchanging vzw tp and receive a replacement due to hardware issue so would like official release. Thanks. I already searched as well...might have missed it tho.
I just put your rom on and love it! I have been installing everything you are putting out. My memory usage was exactly the same as yours. One issue I am trying to figure out is vznav is not working. It was working for me in your previous build but not this one. The error I am getting is that "there was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart vz navigator."
Any ideas? I set the location to on, I have checked my account and I have vz nav with verizon.
Thanks,
Mike
Very wierd, I just kept trying over and over and finally it started working. I did try starting it at least 10 times. Now it works. Wierd. oh well at least it works again.

That happens when you first instawll and launch it. Typical. Takes me three times and I am good ;c) Has done that on the stock ROM for me as well as my own cooked ROMS. After it initializes and sets itself up its good from then on.
Glad it's running though. Would sound stupid calling the VZNav ROM if VZ Nav didint work! hahahahaha

That is the stock ROM. I now it says pre-relewase but its the same verision that came on the phone. I looked at this very closely before I flashed for the first time. Trust me, you can use that to send the phone back. Many people already have.

It should be a little bit faster. Not a placebo affect if that is what you think. I added some of my tweaks and some tweaks from all over th enet. Nothing major... Just things like glyphe cache, services, etc. I also bumped up the touch sensitivity just a hair. That alone makes the phone feel 10 times faster. A little here and there is all it takes on this phone. Its has soo much potential.
Hey Scott,
Do you have something against the state of Washington?
j/k - FYI Weather tab Washington shows blank for all cities. Not that I live there,... but since it's usually raining in Seattle I like to have that city on there for the graphics of the windshield wiper.
Great ROM - not a huge fan of iContacts, but that's probably just because I haven't used it too much.
When I first powered up - it seemed very jittery and laggy,... but now - after I installed my core apps, it acts much better. I performed NO additional tweaks or anything - just rebooted after restoring all my data and logs.
Did notice that SMS sent notification is BACK,... I have to go find that registry edit and take that out again (very annoying). And Opera is not the default browser (I actually prefer that) but I didn't know if that was intentional or just happened? PIE seems to load so much faster when clicking a link in e-mail,... but Opera has all those neat features.
I like the new look with the new icons and the flip clock! Thanks for that!
Keep up the great work - truly do appreciate it!!
Thanks for that info Scrosler!
Disable SMS notification

I hate the state of washington. No just kidding! I dont know why it did that. I used the same weather database I used in my last ROM. i will look at it tonight.
The reason it seems slow and laggy on first boot is because it is. I dont know if it was a good idea to have TouchFlow launch during first boot and autoinstall but i did.... Heheh... but like you said, after that it is fine. The lag isnt very bad as long as you wait for everything to load first. Thats my biggest challange. Getting the boot time down. Not sure how to make that great yet.....
The flip clock is indeed nice ;c)
Sorry you are not a big fan of iContact. I think I have tried every contact app and liked this one best. I will post the kitchen sometime this weekend and you can always cook one without it. I also need mod my site to include the link to the VC ROM. I will do that tonight. I know alot of peeps use VC but I hate it. Never ever recognizes my voice for anything at all. I dont get it.
Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you are enjoying it!

Cool, here is the cab that I OEM'ed. I dont know how I left that out... My bad!
I also included a cab for Start Clean. This erases your recently used programs from start menu everytime you boot. I love it. I hate the MRU set up.
Would someone with the new rom post some screenshots?

Sleep? WTF is that? No just kidding. I have two modes for ROM building.
Tinker mode which is at my leisure. Sleep normally and only work on the ROM at home. Then there is XDA mode where I litterally dont sleep for two or three days and just keep coooking all night long like a meth addict! Thats usually starts on Friday night and ends on SUnday night around 3:00am Monday morning! hahaha.
This weekend will be chill though. Just going to sit back and wait for comments to roll in to see how I did with this ROM and go from there.

Yeah, you may or may not like this ROM as I did detract from the stock look and feel just a little bit. But on the same note its the quickest Rom yet and has more available memory with no missing features.
I will try to get a couple screenshots up in a few. Sorta busy with crap at work today. Let me see if I have My Mobilier on this work machine. I forget....... Long night last night. hehehehe....
EDIT: Ok I got the home screen and App screen up. Let me know what else you may want to see before flashing....
LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
