yes it should,

Great work
I found Black 2.0 is more stable than 2.5, hope that 3.0 will be more stable than these two.

I am assuming that this will replace HTweakC in future black releases.
can't wait for Black 3.0 to hit the streets!

Thanks.
Keep up the great work

@JasJammin
Can you put a key112 and 113 changer into this??? No biggie but an all in one Pimpin tool is hot.

Thanks Jas...
I also found 2.0 to be more stable than 2.5 but its still head and shoulders above everything else out there! I am most definitely looking forward to Black 3.0
Just sent you a donation - l'chayim - to life!

[FIXED] Message Scolling automatically to the Bottom [Screens inc.]

hiya, i'm using Sleuths Developer Rom v3.0, and its all been going fine untill just now ... completely out of the blue!
its easier to explain with pictures. So read my storey thingy:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*Explains*
whenever i receive a message, or tap to view one, it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the message (Panel 4) and so i have to scroll up to see my message each time (Panel 5)
this happened completely randomly and it has happened to me before on one of JJ's roms.
i have searched, and done a Soft Reset, i've uninstalled the last application i installed (HTC Custom) to no avail!
i really do NOT want to hard reset as i have everything PERFECT on here now anyone got any ideas????
i must add that this happened randomly while receiving a message and it does it every single time!
would be greatly appreciated as hard reset is not my option ...
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Ok Kasual has said that its the "D-pad fix" which can be disabled by downloading HTCustom (search it) and then go to "Pocket IE" tab and disable the Dpad fix, then soft reset and its fixed!

Yeah, I'm actually having the same problem. If anyone's got advice, I would appreciate it as well.

Great illustration
I also have that issue...

A hard reset fixed it for me. I have no idea why it happened, but a hard reset fdixed it. YMMV.

ah i foresee a hard rest then =/ argh didnt want to do that!! must be SOME explanation for it surely!!
thanks for the replies guys

I've had this problem with my 8525 since the day I upgraded to WM6, it has never gone away either.

D-pad navigation.
I am pretty sure this is caused by the "D-pad navigation" tweak. I also seem to remember that one of the newer roms is backwards (enabled is unchecked, disabled is checked). Try changing that tweak setting.

D-Pad Navigation
This is the behavior that comes with the D-Pad navigation tweak. You might want to make sure the tweak program is actually setting the registry to NOT have the tweak. I will look for the reference and post unless some one else beats me.

WOW many thanks Kasual!!! it is the D-Pad fix!
i'll edit my main post with a cure
many thanks

Although I never had this problem, I really appreciated your illustration of the problem (and the solution), which is really great!! Had a lot of fun studying
I wish many other users would be AT LEAST so kind to explain their problems with more than 7 words, such as "my dopod won't start anymore, suggestions??"

Downgrading to WM5 question *theme help please*

Hello all, I've recently got into the whole pocket pc phone game not long ago but I've been researching on this phone for quite a bit. When I bought my secondhand hermes it came with the att/cingular wm5 rom, and i thought an upgrade to the newer wm6 would be nice since the UI looks nicer.
but after doing so i noticed a real huge difference in the decrease of performance speed. I've tried many wm6 roms from this forum like schaps, black, etc, also each of their lite versions too.
so i've come to the conclusion that i'll sacrifice the nice UI for performance by downgrading back to the hermes' native rom, which i did and i am now using htc's latest wm5 rom from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298520
this is has been working nicely for me, speed is much faster than wm6, and i'm not minding the UI too much now that i think about it.
but the thing is it comes with htc's ugly neon green theme that makes it so dang hard to read the white text. i know i can easily change the theme + comm mgr + dialer theme, but i really dont want to add more to the phone than necessary........
so are there any other roms with more pleasing theme available for america/english language and works with att/cingular? i tried looking for this but i cant seem to find any cooked wm5, compared to the dozens of cooked wm6 ones. any input is appreciated!
examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

i tried black satin ROM and it ran pig slow, i went to black majik ROM and its nice and speedy now.

madman, i've tried black majik before and i believe it was still a bit laggy in comparison. is this mod only available with wm6? i would like to stick with wm5 if possible

well, there isnt good way to do it. You can download addons on hermes wiki. anyway if you want a fast, good and stable rom, i prefer the ProBlack 3.0.1. its really fast and very stable rom for me. Ofcourse, if you want to stay with wm5 - you have only one way with themes of dialpad and others - you need to install them.

The WM 6.1 look without the ROM. (For simple people)

Hello everyone,
I have been experimenting with the WM 6.1 ROM's, like a lot of you, but I have not been completely satisfied with any yet. I am no developer or anything of that such.
This post is for those of you who just want to change your homescreen look and a few minor things, to get rid of that WM 6 look.
I have attached a few .CAB files as well as a black theme.
You will have to extract the HTC_New_default.tsk file to your WM devices "Windows" folder. It will then show up on your themes as HTC default.
These files may have been posted in another thread, but I am starting this thread just to be simple. Feel free to add your HTC .CAB's as well.

Here is a .CAB for the black dialpad.

nice dude!! simple enough

Awesome bro.

Nice Try. At least all those people with no satisfying result or are afraid of upgrading can take help from this work of yours to taste the new interface including the Home Screen Plug-in
Keep the good work up

One question. Is this extract for 3g dialor also make 2g dialor to 3g dialor assuming I have activated the 3g in Advance Configuration Tool

interesting idea for those that "arent happy" with 6.1 or cant get it to work.
You should re-title it though to "I cant believe its not 6.1"

I'm digging it. I also feel the same way... most 6.1 roms are fast right after install but after really using the phone for a week it turns into a turd pretty quick, especialy if you install a lot of apps.
Been using original HTC 6.0 WWE rom without issues for quite some time. I try about every new rom when they come out but I always go back to this one for reliability.
BTW: What com manager you using? Thanks!! GOOD WORK!
Here is the boot screen that I use. Makes it feel more like 6.1 Copy to windows folder on device. Overwrite the old one.
-Enjoy

you'd better make your own "welcome screen" so you can add your own touch in it as a part of the customization you do after flashing a new ROM but it case you like the pre defined ones, here is one from PDA-Corner that I also like.
I hope I'm not breaking the law od copyrights by posting this (please tell me if I do)

Can it be ported safely to Diamond?

Tbh, it's very, very unlikely that it can be ported because it's QVGA first and foremost. However we might be able to extract elements. I hear the scrolling is supposed to be a big improvement amongst many other things.
Finally, I think it's only a matter of time before a VGA version surfaces .
Hope this answered your question.

its seems to be still a mix of 6.1 and 6.5. But none the less its still winmo 6.xxx....it can be done

Strange...this screenshot shows it on the Uni (VGA):

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

It can be tinkered with.

What other improvements do you know of?

anyone looked at the cab files that come with the rom?anything us diamond user could use? (proably not as its not vga but you never know)

Tried them, but no joy. There's 5, the only one I haven't tried is IE, since I didn't see much point.
Haven't noticed any changes to poutlook though. Anyone else?

to me it looks completly like a fake. the right device has completly wm6.1 style taskbar and has touchflo 3d manila background set. ??
but not running manila to huge fonts and so on.
1. its a veryvery very very early 6.5 built or completly fake as we are used from our chinese friends.

Would be inclined to believe a very early build, since the video on WMPoweruser shows the scrolling in action, and not even FTouchSL (a commercial software) has achieved that level of kinetic scrolling yet.

Could this be used on both platforms (GSM and CDMA)?
