This is an HTC Excalibur ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread. This will also work on the TMobile Dash (which is what's it's primarily setup for) and any other Excalibur variations.
I always build my ROMs with three main goals.
Eye candy.
Speed!
Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.
I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications are already set, as well as a background and key shortcuts.
I usually make 2 versions of the ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.
Here are the different versions and what they mean.
"IE6" includes the new IE6 browser
"IE5" includes the older IE5 browser (less RAM being used).

Messenger & windows live with ROM
Hello,
I've started to test this ROM. and the beginning is very good.
Could someone help me to install messenger?
I have a cab but it contains only windows Live, without messenger.
Thanks a lot!!!!

looks like you're using ookbas 96dpi cab... if you are then uninstall it

MMS
1. There is no interface to configure MMSC setting (had to do it via registry)
2. there is no default app for jpg viewing
Apart from this, seems very stable and fast.

Nice rom.
Did you take out the VPN ?
If yes: do you have the Connection Setup Tool cab ? Then the original HTC cab is too old..

the jpg association can be fixed this way:
open resco explorer, find any .jpg file, choose "action\open with", click "always use this program to open this file type" checkbox, and then choose menu/browse. from list select pimg.exe (this is picture viewer). choose select (left soft key) and done, now the jpg file is opened as usual.

Once again you cooked up a very nice rom. Thanks for the tip on how to fix the .jpg association issue. I just found it when trying different things out and someone already posted the fix for it.
Anyway it does seem that the connection setup does use older data then what I had before. It has not caused a problem yet but just thought I would mention it.

No voice dial?
Just found out, the long pressing of home key opens "All notes", and there is no way to record a voice dial for my contacts...
I understand there are people with no use for voice dial, but is there a cab out there to fix this?

Another workaround for the .JPG issue is install XNVIEW app.. it´s free and it´s not a big fat pig (when you think about resources)... Grab it here.
Nice job, Nrg. Thank you.
I´m updating my guide for Brazilian people now...

Its called... Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 for smartphones. If and when you get it installed, In the voice command setup. for the voice button use App3.

stuck at 3%
what am I doing wrong? I try to load this program and it gets to 3% then tells me the file is corrupt and then the phone reboots. re-downloaded the file several times with same result

How is everyone doing with wifi in this release? In the other thread some folks mentioned that wifi wasn't working well. I haven't had a chance to install this version yet but wifi is a deal breaker for me if it does not work. Thanks.

It is working for me at work today..I don't know why it glitched out on me yesterday at home, but it completely froze my phone up and had to pull the battery. So far so good...

Microsoft Voice Command works well only for English Speakers, as it does not require voice tags for contacts.
As nearly all my contacts have foreign names, it seems i need a different app.
Tried installing Cyberon speed voice dial 1.2, but there seems to be no way to add voice tags to contacts, so it always says there are no recorded tags.

Had no problems with the WiFi on this ROM... my home WPA network works fine.
nrg, any chance of getting the IE5 version uploaded? Thanks

I have set my pictures to open with HTC Album, which works ok, but it seems to be causing some other issues with MMS messages. I try to attach a picture and it does not want to insert it correctly into the MMS message. It just shows the preview icon and not the picture itself.

messaging bug
I like your rom but I found the following bug: when you try to enter a recepients name in sms dialog box something messes up. I think that it tries to display contacts from outlook but it doesn't show up but messes up the vertical scrollbar and stuff.
Otherwise seems nice

no it not, at me there are 3 icons. And i downloaded that themes but nothing has changed, that impossible stuff is still there.

have been testing your ROM for a day or so & I have listed a few things below as a general feedback.
One of the issues i have is that when assigning images to the people tab, the images are not resized correctly. They are way too big!
I have to go back into the contact & edit the manually by re-selecting the photo a second time. It's not a big issue, just annoying one.
The letter selector on the contacts list is a little jumbled which means the letters are not shown cleanly.
With the tabs on the home screen i really like the text being used however the white shading used at the top half of the tab makes the text a little hard to read in certain light conditions.
Also are you considering releasing a LITE version without the rarely used apps like MS office, Java, MP3 Trimmer, games? Looking for more speed
Generally its a good first attempt as it appears quite stable & reasonbly quick.
well done. looking forward to more releases
cheers
Pete

[v1.5] Home Screen Customizer on Marketplace

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
Introducing "Home Screen Customizer" - A finger friendly app available on Marketplace that allows you to customize your Titanium home screen.
v1.5 Screenshots (Showing new Favorite Apps/MRU panel on the right):
This app allows you to rearrange the home screen panels to your liking by simply press & hold then drag the panels around (See left most screenshot). You can also add additional panels or remove existing panels.
Download
The app is on US Marketplace under Tools category. Or use keyword "home screen" to search for it.
The app is also available in many other regions. If I have translation for a language, then it's likely available in that region. Note that v1.5 is not yet available outside US but will be rolled out as Microsoft approves the app for other regions.
If it's not available in your region, you can still switch your Marketplace application to US English or another region that has the app in order to download the Customizer.
Changelog for v1.5:
- Fix for Omnia II
- Fix to stop TARecordExecution message from coming up
- Some minor fixes for search panel
- More translations: Czech, Spanish, and Dutch
- Maybe other stuff that I forgot
For Developers:
If you submit your panel to Marketplace or want to plug into my app's experience, I have built in plugin capability so that you can show an Add form and an Edit form in the UI.
Just download the app from Marketplace and copy \Program Files\Home Screen Customizer\TitaniumAlloyPlugin.dll to PC to be referenced in your .Net CF project.
Please see the attached zip file for a sample of how to implement an Add form to be shown when user adds a panel to their home screen and an Edit form for when user wants to configure something already on their home screen.
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\TitaniumAlloyPlugins]
"Your Plugin Name"="Your Plugin DLL Path"

Nice job, I'll try it for sure
edit:
Works like a charm, thanks!

Error
I get an Error when running this application says "An unexpected error has occurred in TitaniumAlloy.exe" Any ideas?

If you're not in US, please try the following:
Go to Start->Settings->System->Regional Settings
Change region to "English (United States)"
Reboot
See if you can find it on Marketplace now
Go back to Regional Settings to change back to original value

Somebody emailed and told me there seems to be problems with Imagio. Is that the device you're using?
I'll have to do some investigation to figure out why, maybe go to a store and play with the device or something.

I saw on a forum somebody said those steps might work for non-US markets, but I guess it does not. I'll go figure out the right steps for it to work and report back when I have something.

Love the app. Got it from the Windows Marketplace. I had been using chome editor, but this interface is less complex and user friendly. Not sure if your looking for feedback, but I'll offer some anyway .
I like the contacts panel, but it displays companies rather than person's name as the default. If the company field is empty, then it defaults to name. I think having the name always as the default would be more popular. Just my 2cents. Thanks for the great app.

After changing your location you should reinstall the Marketplace - it worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I can see why you'd want the name always since these are your favorite contacts and are probably close friends or family.

Thanks! By the way, I updated the first post to include instruction on how to make weather panel work for Non-US cities.
For Melbourne, you'd use "wc:ASXX0075"

just found your app through the marketplace. the weather and contacts tab was the only thing that I missed from touchflo3d, now my home screen looks just like I want to
it works great! I tried showaco's chome editor before with no luck.
the only thing missing (for me) is an opera favorites panel (or just launch opera instead of internet explorer from the favorites panel) and the search panel also opens internet explorer by default, I would like it to open opera.
thanks for your work

I'm also getting the Titaniumalloy.exe bug but I'm using a touchpro2 with mighty rom.

Really a nice app! With the MarketPlaceRegionSwitch it was easy to install on a German device.
Just one Problem so far: The weather plugin shows the temperature in °F. How do I switch to °C? And german texts would also be nice...

To switch it to celsius:
Run Home Screen Customizer
Select "weather"
Press "Edit"
Press "Menu"
Press "Celsius"
Press "Save"
As for translation to other languages, I could use some help Google and Bing's machine translations are not good enough.

Thanks for the info. But wouldn't it be better to place this setting on the page (below the zipcode) instead of "hiding" it in the menu?
Regarding the translation: I can try to help you. Just post the string file(s) here or send it/them to me (the address is on my website).

Marketplace doesn't think this is for Sprint TP2?
On my desktop, it says I've 'bought' Customizer, but it doesn't have it to download on my phone. It doesn't find it when I search for it either. And yes, I'm set for US English, though at one point on desktop it thought I was in Australia?
Thoughts?

Thanks Peter. I agree with you. In general I'd like the UI to be better, but right now the weather panel UI is just what I had time to put together. I have some offers for doing translation, and I still need to put together all the strings being used when I get a chance. Once I have that complete list then I can seek out more help for translation. Thanks!

[APP] Contacts FileAs Mass Changer

Recently I synced my phone and gmail for unknown reasons and discovered that some of my contacts had changed to "Lastname, Firstname" style of display.
Since there were more than a few I wanted to download CONTACT CHANGER but it is not free anymore.
There is a CAB on this site but since I was bored i created a clone of that program with an option to display Nickname if present.
Description
FileAsChanger allows you to change the way contacts are displayed in your phone e.g. FileAs field ("Lastname, Firstname" vs "Firstname Lastname") in all your contacts all at once.
You can change the display name to the following:
* Firstname Lastname
* Lastname, Firstname
* Firstname Middlename Lastname
* Firstname "Nickname" Lastname
* Nickname
* Company Name
Requirements:
.Net Compact Framework 3.5
Source code:

nice to know some one found it useful thanks for your thanks

htc hd2
i have synced my hd2 with gmail contacts and when i use ur app they change fine all first name last name, but then if i check 5 min later (obviously when another sync happens) a handful of contacts have synced back to last name first name. any1 able to shed some light on this? Iv read somewhere that people had problems with attached pictures to contacts but there seems to be a couple with out pictures that are still filing wrong. Iv also tried changing it manually too.
JR

not to say I don't appreciate your work but this was already possible in the app 'Contact Changer'
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/07/02/contact-changer-13-sort-contact-by-first-name-last-name.html
I've been using it for over a year with no problems.
EDIT: Just noticed that you might now have to pay for it. It used to be freeware so I apologise.

Would be great to add an option to display as: Firstname 'Nickname' Lastname

I installed but it says I need never compact framework

That's a great and useful app i was trying to code myself but didn't had the time, thanks, i was really needing this.

Company name
Your app is great and most useful. Can you perhaps suggest a solution for searching / listing numbers by company name? Numbers entered without first/last name, with company name only is listed as Unknown. Searching is a an issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Since being launched in Google Play in 2010, File Expert has undergone six major updates in the past five years.
It keeps improving with your feedback and suggestion all along the way. After 8 month R&D, V7 Beta finally comes to you!
If you are interested in becoming a beta tester to help improve the product, please download and
install the Beta version onto your phone (see them in attachment) and leave a comment below the post.
What’s new in V7?
1. UI makeover
Turquoise and white interface with newly-designed icons for more comforting and cleaner visuals.
2. New layout
Users can now swipe to the left and right to view different file directories: categories, Cloud and tool, which expedites
file locating and operating.
3. Cloud collection
The new File Expert is more than local file management, which gathers worldwidely mainstream Cloud services (Google Drive,
Dropbox, Box, Yandex, SkyDrive, SugarSync, KDrive and Vdisk); users are able to manage files on different Clouds in one App.
4. Small and optional
Smaller APK size: only 2.73 MB, remarkably reduces memory space.
Optional plugins: additional features can be added as plugins according to individual demand.
Classic features reserved and enhanced
Access to External SD card supported on 5.0+
Write access to phone internal storage, SD card and external SD card (Except for Kitkat) .
Access to USB Drive via OTG (only available on some devices, tested on Xiaomi 2S)
Smart File Management
Support all basic file operations: Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete, Create, Sort, Rename, Send, Details, Favorites, Hide, Create Shortcut,
Search, Create and delete folders, batch operation…
Various Ways to Transfer Files
Support Bluetooth, WiFi, SMB Client, FTP, SFTP and FTPS servers.
Safebox: the updated feature will keep your privacy strictly confidential.
Root Explorer: ROOTED users can access all file system and data directories and make changes.
Tags: Classify messy files by colored tags.
Favorite: Add frequently-used files to Favorite and quickly pinpoint them next time.
Memory Manager: Customize memory settings on your phone, for ROOTED phones only.
Super Downloader: Accelerate downloading speed, fast and resumable.
Recycle Bin: Remove files to recycle bin and recover them anytime you want.
Any feedback from you is appreciated and will be handled with caution. You can reply below the post or email [email protected]
if anything comes across your mind after trying.
Thank you so much!
Caution
The new Safebox feature comes with V7 may be incompatible with previous version, which may cause file lost. Please backup all files in V6 Safebox before starting to test.

Well. I like to try. But since I'm using a 10'' tablet, I will wait for landscape support.

Hi, thanks for your support, you can still use this version on a 10'' tablet device

I agree with Doppelhelix,
Testing it out. Will be a little inconvenient as I am using a 12" Galaxy Note Pro and use on my desk in Landscape mode all the time but will make sure it does everything I need it to do.

Thanks for suggestion, we will add landscape mode asap

The new interface is fantastic, but I'm going to miss the dark theme. The Dropbox plugin didn't install automatically, but all the rest did. SMB client didn't pick up either of my servers. Other than that - so far so good! Great update!
Incidentally, I don't know if "Girl" is the best name for "Light User" in the Memory Manager.
Also I would have preferred to sign in to Gcloud with my username (instead of email). How can I change my profile picture?

Hi, thanks for your report and suggestion. I'm sorry you cannot change your profile picture but this will be fixed in the final release of this beta test

Now it's crashing every time I try to access "files" from the main screen. Also all of the plug-ins are now each separate shortcuts in my app drawer.

Hi there,
Would it be convenient for you to give us a crash log to recur the situation?
How to collect log?
1. Download and install the Log Collector: http://cdn.appnav.cn/logcollector.apk
2. When FC or crash happens in File Expert, quit and open Log Collector. It will collect log automatically.
3. Send us log.
The Clouds are optional, when you install any of them; it will appear on your app drawer.
Cheers,
