Thanks!
I always feel like such an outsider way out here in AT&T land! Thanks for the special attention. Downloading now!

Here's where I get to show my stupidity!
All the other ROM I have flashed have come with a utility to run the process. I tried replacing a previous rar file with this one and running the utility I had, but it changed nothing. I have read all the guides, the step by steps, etc, but the info seems to be for full packetsm not how to insert a new rar. I am dense. I am uneducated, I am sorry!

Thanks Shodowmite. It's good to have someone taking care of us ATT dudes.

What is the difference with other ROM ?
Is there something specific for AT&T ?
Sorry if the question is stupid, but I don't know AT&T particularities... ;-)

ok, have you flashed hard-spl on your phone before? If not, search for it and flash it! Next, you need winrar or some other file extraction program to extract the rar file (a compressed folder) to get the files out. Then you'll find the installer files inside, you run the exe... Hope this helps.

Mainly the big thing is this includes by default the sms/mms and data/proxy settings for cingular/att's network. You can use this rom with another carrier, but you'll need to delete those settings or install you own over top of them.

It's the little things
Thanks for the patience with my idiocy. I got WinRar and am flashing now.

We all have to learn at some point, I was no better when I started long ago... Don't worry about it and just learn at your own pace... Hope you like the rom!

I've updated to Shadowmite 1.1, while this is still a "beta" if you will, it's perfectly stable and appears good. Use this one if you want the HTC Home Plugin available... I've also removed windows live and streaming media in this version:

Thanks. Good job. Downloading.

Ive had it running for a few days now and have noticed marked improvement on battery life. My only challenge has been running out of program memory during IE sessions. I run MemMaid and clean up, then I can go again, but I'm wondering if I have something set wrong.

Hmm, not sure, but I will be releasing another version maybe tomorrow with a increased available program memory using a 4mb pagepool instead of the stock 6mb.

Slightly off topic but is there a way / application to load apps & information in one go after flashing a new rom or is installing all the cabs one by one the only way.
Thanks in advance

Well, dunno if it helps much, but my HTCustom app, which is in my roms has a CABS button which allows you to choose a folder and it starts all cabs in it to be installed for you... but it needs human interaction.
In other news, the rom is ready and uploading now...

Version 1.1 is posted, now with 4mb pagepool, should increase your program memory a little and make it perform a little more quickly. I think this is about perfect now, let me know!

Nice ROM, but...

Hi, A very nice looking ROM - for which... thanks!
BUT... I keep getting... "An unhandled error has occured in the shell. Attempting to restart the shell [ok]". Soon as I hit the OK, phone reboots.
Now, to help u diagnose... I have installed NOTHING on top of your ROM. Only change I made from stock is I removed your Cingular settings .cab and installed the standard HTC ones for my UK Vodaphone network. (Actually, I was getting this error BEFORE I even removed the Cingular .cab)
Only other thing I can say is, I also unchecked the BatteryStatus plugin from the Today items (as I don't like it or need it... or do I, with this ROM? Maybe I will re-enable it a while...)
That's all. I'll try and stick with this ROM as it's the kind of thing I've been working on for myself... nice, clean and tight... but I've had no time recently to develop ROMs so it's easier for me to run with your work and let you do the head scratching!! Still, a nice effort so far - thanks again!
Moz.

Weird, I've never seen that error. I hate to say it, but could you start with the rom freshly flashed and tell me anything I can do to cause this to occur? Or is it random? I do run the battery status plugin on mine (very useful info, especially the current draw) but I've just removed it to see if I can get the error.
Let me know if you have any procedure I can try to get this error.
Also, you removed the cing.cab and then installed yours and ran it? That should be fine as the only cingular branding is that cab being ran after the welcome.

Fixed it... I think!
Ok, so it seems to be your 1.51 version of the HTC X-Button task manager. I always set the "End progs by tapping X" (not the default tap-and-hold option..) The previously mentioned error only ever happens when I'm tapping X to close down something or other... So, I installed my own .cab of this app (v1.5 build 29196) and all is now fine!
I'll probably do a fresh flash of your Rom tomorrow (its 2am now here) just to be sure, but I think I'm right in saying that your implementation of the x-button app in rom does not give the x-button icon in /start/settings/system... (i now have this by virtue of my reinstalling the app...) I think this icon *is* needed because if you choose to turn off the x-button "shortcut" thingy in the today screen there would otherwise be no way to get back to the x-button option settings.
Hope this helps...
Moz.

a-ha, I got the error now myself, but only if set to close app on clicking the X and furthermore then closing a system app that is running from shell32.exe. For some reason my entries of immune apps aren't being taken as immune. I'll look into this. Good catch!
The program however is in settings, system and is listed as task manager...

Ok, here is the fix, just install this cab (reg entries only) and it'll be working after the next soft reset... I'll figure out why this didn't work from the main hive before the next release.

Diamond TF3D config working on Xperia X1 (tested)

I just insatlled the TF3D config on my X1 downloaded elsewhere from this wonderful forum including HD Themes and backgrounds pictures collected from the forum. It worked like charm on my X1 updated with Touch-IT X1 M-HD 1.1. Just wanted to share with all.

installed the cab file but nothing hapned

Have you tried going to Start, Settings, Today, Items then selecting the TF3D

You actually goto Start/Programs/Diamond TF3D Config
But....I've tried it and it crashes on mine with a Null reference error.

Help
Its killed my touch screen and I cant navigate the start menu to uninstall or reset(hard)
I know I can press left and right button and soft restart = hard restart but is there a way to fix this without hard reset?

Yup, Killed my touch screen as well. Not recommended to use yet.
If you use the slide out keyboard, you can use the windows key and the d-pad to navigate to settings/system/remove programs

no problem running this on my x1

if you download the cab file from my XION ROM THREAD; THE ONE CALLED DIAMOND.... for xperia.cab it will work perect, and with the tweaks, but be carefule with the tweaks, as some work and some dont, some makes you have to hardreset the phone, and thats the performence tweaks.

If I remember correctly you have to be careful to untick TF3D from Today, then install & reset, then tick TF3D back.
Worked fine on mine EXCEPT it seems to have screwed up the "People" tab, I can't add any contact but still can access the menu (I've also added the "Comm Manager" Tab").
Anyone has the same problem? a fix??

this tools is intended for a previous version of a previous version of the first version of tflo3d that we currently have on our device... so make your conclusions.
It should works on some parts but I strongly discourage you to use it

I get an "unexpected error"
I did delete the tweak.xml file, but still get the same error.
Anyone with solutions?
I also tried Diamond...for xperia.cab, still the same error.

solution: don't use it. this isn't for our manila

Too dumb to install new user inteface on WM5 PDA ?

Hi out there,
i am totally new to this topic... i recently got an elder PDA, an iPaq hx2790 with WM5, german localization.
After being a liitle convenient in handling the device and the basics of installing additional programs to it, i had the wish to make the userinterface look a little more "nicer" or at least more usable ;-) I googled around and found some good-looking aspirants for my project. I downloaded Quick-Menu 2.8, GSMART, Ifonz2, Pointui... and i tried to install them, one after the other. The result ? Nothing.
Quick-Menu had in most menu-items only squares instead if characters (seems to be a common error in non english devices)
GSMART only added one push-button, when pressing it, nothing happened but the cross to cancel programs / leave screens in the upper right corner disappeared and the device was unbelieveable slow from now on (also reported by other users on http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gsmart-today-plugin.html)
ifonz2 could be installed, but when i tried to start it manually (because my start screen looked like before) it *****ed around that .Net would be missing, although i installed the version adviced (3.5) in the readme by the author of the prog
Pointui could also be installed, but when i tried to start it manually it also told me that there would be missing a security certificate or some other thing would be missing.
Am i too silly or am i missing some special point ? How should these progs be started after SUCCESSFUL installation ? Do i even have to start them or shouldnt they rather start themselves ?
I am really at a point in time where i am willing to live with this odd WM5 Screen...
any help appreciated ;-).
Also suggestions for WM5-Interface replacements that will do what they propose to do .....
best regards
Freddy

You can still get PointUI to work. It's designed to be installed on pocket pc phones and looks for a couple dll files that are only found in phone edition roms. As far as I know, it looks for sms.dll and phone.dll (it might be different for german roms, I only have experience installing it on english roms). You can find these on the internet somewhere.
As for the others, I really have never tried them. Where did you download the .net installation program (exe or cab)? If you didn't, try downloading the versions directly from Microsoft's site (might take some searching). Another option to try is SPB Mobile Shell (you can get a trial version). Does this help?

thanx for your help.....
Steve,
thank you vey much for your help...
I downloaded sms.dll and phone.dll but GSmarts behaviour did nor change...
The first .net 3.5 was downloaded from softonic with a link provided from the author of iFonz... this one didnt work, it was only the small CAB-File. Then i downloaded the big one it directly from microsoft and it installed it right away on my PDA. iFonz then could be started and configured, but it didnt cope with my screen size and shutdown afer a short while (sigh!)
So i guess i finally will give the iPhone simulating apps a last chance... if this doesnt work, i keep my MW5 as it is ;-(
Thanx alot Steve
Freddy

several problems with my new blackstone

Hey everyone,
got my new blackstone for 2 days now, and I got several issues, I can't fix. Would be great if anybody could lend me a hand...
first one: My "task-manager" in the top right is gone. Read about this problem and a solution by going to settings \ task manager \ button and activate it again, but everything was, as it should be...
second: my "zoom-bar" is on strike, when I enter the album, open a picture and try to zoom in, nothing happens. Google didn't give me any help about it, so maybe you got an idea.
third: Diamond TF3D gets a NotSupportedException while starting, although the two solutions given in this forum were done (enter the registry key and chance entry into something I already forgot didn't need to be done, cause it had the right "form" / and deleting "tweak.xml" didn't work either...)
So, surely you need some more information, so:
Subvendor "T-Mobile"
Rom: 1.40.111.1(49069) GER
installed programs:
- Flip-IT
- ageye G-Alarm
- Montecristoff HD Tweak
- Grumps Manila Customizer
- M$ .NET CF 3.5
- Sushi's Diamond TF3D Config
Had the Touch Diamond before and it worked perfectly, but here i got no clue. So please help!!!

FastGPS from X2

Can anybody patch the FastGPSsetup.cab from the original X2 to use with the X1.
I tried the cab. Installation is o.k. but after a restart it is no more possible to go on Start Menu.
I put it in the attachements.

it doesn't need to be patched. it should (i can't guarantee it) work if you install more cabs, but I haven't checked too much.

which cabs should I install in addition?

I tried instlling after fastgps other programs.
but just the same happens, after instllation of fastgps the startmenu is out of order.
