TCPMP netDrg v2 NeoXL Tech1 HD2 Digital Hi-RES Version NEW!!!!!! - Windows Mobile Software Development

The new TCPMP netDrg v2 NeoXL Tech1 HD2 Hi-RES Version with the netDrg engine, plus added high end codecs is now available... Before playing any video/audio files, open the TCPMP player go to Options> Settings> Player and check mark the block "play at open".... Next tap on Select Page> File Associations and check mark ALL the blocks, tap OK in the lower left corner, exit the TCPMP player, a soft reset of your HD2 is required.....
I tried many versions of the TCPMP on my HTC HD2 bud for me this version is by far the best 1. If you gonna watch a movie, for example divx avi with a srt sub file put video settings on GDI instead of DirectDraw.

What is a netDrg engine? And will this only increase performance for the HD2?

I ran this app on my Blackstone and i really like it, however i would love to see a full screen working gapi driver.. Still haven't found it yet..

"Hi-RES version" - bu it still has the 1008 pixels wide limit for video files, right?

Come on?!

Tech1 really likes to give fancy names to his repacks... What on earth is "netDrg engine" (making stuff up are we)?
This "new version" is pretty much a bundle of bimbam69 TCPMP version (which is actually the newest TCPMP version and not just a pack of old components) with a skin (similar to the one from netDrg... but not as pretty IMHO) and a couple of useless dlls (did a benchmark and it's pretty much the same)...
This may have been out of proportion but it's sad to see that bimbam69 (the guy who actually updated TCPMP) gets less credit than the skinners/repackers that release bundles based on his work.

I admit this build isn't as good as he hyped it to be but TCPMP was created in mind to b a shared program which users could update and create plugins and extra features for anyone to include in any build. The only thing he did wrong was not give credit to BIMBAM. Way back when BETAPLAYER came out then when TCPMP came the creators even said they wanted the users to keep the software updated. Everyone eventually uses the most up to date plugins in their build. Its been that way since this great player was created. BIMBAM has done great work that has made the player better but even he knows and probably does not care if people use hia plugins in their build. Its open source, learn about it. Its not like anyone creates any plugin from scratch. They are able to create and build upon TCPMP cause the creators wanted it to be that way.

Dude I was only pissed because the proper credit wasn't given by the pack author (not the thread starter)... I believe Tech1 skimmed netDrg thread and took his as the developer behind the new version.
I'm all for OSS development... And I'd be one of the first giving props here if a plugin was developed/updated but skinning hardly qualifies as development. I just think it's preposterous to announce this as a new player version when in fact it's just a bundle with a different skin and a few useless dlls (even though it's not the poster fault... Tech1 hyped this as being a new and better version in a lot of PPC dedicated forums).
I believe it'd be better if it were released as a skin (in fact I believe a TCPMP skin thread is due... for one there are some at netDrg thread).

is this just for videos or can you use it for converting internet videos

TCPMP has been skinable since around 2005. Almost all 0.71 versions were skinable. Most recently the PHENOM editions were skinable and they are over 2 years old. BIMBAM did not create the skin plugin the creaters did. Actually I know for a fact that the interface.plg in this build is an old plugin and not the one from BIMBAMs build.

so, basically this "version" is COOL because someone found reason to add magical(BS) word(HD2) lol?
you know what, that is funny;/
(-yea, i have BEST PHONE, said HD2 user
- mhmmm, fu. said PDA user).
now, let's wait for big sig named: DONATE.
that topic is clear offence for bimbam69, author of current tcpmp line, imho. and i agree with frmariam who pointed whole thing.

@pupakota
Thanks! As usual you are the (angry) voice of reason... one of the few left in this bleak HTC era...
@Porkenhimer
Actually you are wrong. Yes 0.71 had some skinnable builds and yes Phenom was able to find one of these (the 0.71g... he didn't develop it... he did some fancy Mortscripting though). But part of the skin components was always stripped from the official source releases (though a lot remained). bimbam69 implemented the missing part (I believe he coded it himself).
This is not a 0.71 build... it's one of bimbam releases (and not even the latest one). Notice the browser may still have the small items and old icons but the browser shows flv files (Phenom had to bundle his pack with 2 TCPMP versions because 0.71 didn't) and it has the same subtitle function built into the core components.

BIMBAM is THe Man
Sorry for all the fuzzzing... Im new here and playing around some weeks now on this and several other sites. I found this cab on hd2 forum and mobileunderground..And for me it works very good, no lags. I just wanna share this great peace of software with people who need a great player on their leo. If the maker or developer is BimBam all the credit go's to him...
Ps Hope leo will live forever. Keep up the good works guys and thanks a lot for everything.

Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong I was just dotting the "I". I was mostly pissed with Tech1.

anyone tried benchmarking this version???? compared to older builds????

I am sorry for form of my previous post..
I shouldn't drink and driv.. write, sometimes..

You guys seem to know whats going on/ what you guys are talking about.
I wanted to know whats the best TCPMP version out there for HD2, ive done my search and dont have a any thing conclusive,
Also can someone please tell me is there is there any hope for fluid MKV playback on HD2.
my avi's and mp4's of same resolution and bitrate as my MKVs play fluidly but my MKVs always stutter.
Please let me know if there's a patch or TCPMP or even Core player version that can handle MKVs with stutter.
Thank you

Upnp
Is there a UpNp-plugin or something like that for TCPMP? Or is it something i can make on my own?

Though this is kind of an old thread I'd like to point at the fact that the V2 version of netDrg's TCPMP had an unpleasant bug: Skipping back to the previous song actually skipped forward to the next song. NetDrg fixed this in his V2.1 version. This NeoXL version of netDrg's TCPMP was based on V2 so it too has the skip forward bug.

SuperD-Lite! WM6 Optimal Base Rom

Welcome to Dopod Lite (now D-Lite!)
Latest version is SuperD-Lite! (Links at bottom) If you are new to my roms, I suggest you read through this first post and the rest of the thread so you understand where this is coming from.
There are lots of nice roms out there. So, why put out another? Well, everyone's different, and I think there are folks out there who may be looking for this.
Note: For V1.2 and V1.1 changes, see below! I am leaving the links for V1.0 and V1.2 because they work great, and avoids hassle for those who don't want to bother putting in their own Java VM, (V1.1 and 1.2), or want to use this as a base for further cooking. (Won't work in V1.2)
From my own testing and use, the latest stock WM6 Hermes Dopod rom has proven to be the fastest and most stable of the current official WM6 roms. This is supported by the fact that a number of the well known chefs are using it as their base. (Sleuth, Shaps, and some others) I've been running my own version for awhile now, and am very pleased with it: its ability to sleep and play music, its skip-free A2DP, and its speed.
However, it has a moderate amount of bloat, which can be removed to make it better.
I have stripped the following: Transcriber, Windows Live, VOIP, Voice Commander, Autoupdate, Catalog, Error Reporting (though it still shows in Settings), SQM, Ceipui, Calculator, ClearVue pdf reader, Zip, the less-used ring tones, and the standard movie clip. Probably some other things too. I have also compressed some files to gain free storage space.
The result is a fast, stable rom, with a minimum of clutter, which performs all the basic functions very well thank you: Phone, Internet, Java, Office 2007 (without OneNote), GPS, etc. etc. It is ripe for customizing in your own special way. If you want it to become a developer rom, add that stuff. Add custom themes? Go ahead. Add functionality? Ready and waiting. There's plenty of free memory and storage space: 30.06 meg, and 59.51 meg respectively (V1.0, 6mb page pool). I could have added a few meg to program memory by reducing the page pool from 6meg to 4meg, but I chose not to do that in the interest of maximizing stability and functionality.
I have altered the initial customization routine to do only the basics: set hspda, set acoustic parameters, and a few registry settings. It does not access the extended_rom, so you are free to do what you want with that.
You will have to choose your own radio (or leave the one you have). You will likely want a replacement calculator (there are lots of good ones). You may want a voice dial program (take your pick). You will have to add your own carrier settings. (Cabs are around for most of these.) The start up screens you currently have will stay there. This is an OS only flash.
If people have suggestions and links for additional functionality, feel free to post them!
If you have never flashed a rom before, take care to follow the excellent tutorials available before doing it for the first time. Your Hermes device can be ruined otherwise.
I will try to fix bugs, etc. but this rom is best suited for those who can troubleshoot things for themselves. This is a hobby, and I can't guarantee I'll be around everyday to help with issues. However, I really don't expect a lot of problems, and you can look on the Dopod release thread for some help with things as well. (Not to mention the rest of the site!)
See second post for more screen shots (5 pic limit/post), capture screen program NOT included in rom. Memory stats are as above, not as pictured, because I had that program and file explorer loaded and running.
Version 1.0 links, Includes Tao Java 10_1_7_575 built in, 6mb page pool. Time-tested stability and performance.
V1.0 Rapidshare Link
V1.0 Megaupload Link
Version 1.1: Offered with some trepidation, however since Schaps decided to package two alternative Java VM's I thought I'd give people a choice. In this version I have also decreased the page pool to 4mb, which makes me a bit nervous, but seems to be running ok for me. The final memory results are remarkable: Free storage memory is 61.03 mb, and Free program memory is 32.07 mb at cold boot after customizations! See post for further discussion. (Update: I have added a 6mb page pool version for those who have issues with the 4mb version.)
V1.1 4mb PagePool Rapidshare Link
V1.1 6mb PagePool Rapidshare Link
V1.2 Update: In this version I have gone even further, by removing all .rgu files from the V1.1 base. This eliminates about thirty-five file entries in the Windows directory, and frees up about 200K of additional storage memory. For some operations, this should increase rom speed even more than its already "blistering" pace. The downside to this is that it is unsuitable for those who want to use it as a base for their own cooking. (Except for the RomDonald kitchen, which should still work.)
V1.2 4mb Page Pool Rapidshare Link
V1.2 6mb Page Pool Rapidshare Link
SuperD-Lite: Based on V1.2, and incorporating bepe's new technology of melding extended_rom and storage rom, this version boosts available storage memory to 71mb. Be aware that this flash will wipe out your extended_rom partition. If you are coming from another chef's or stock rom, you will have to reload all your apps, etc. If you are upgrading from one of mine, that is still probably safest, but you can check my last post for an optional method.

Solitaire & Bubble Breaker Question
Hello Edhaas,
Thanks so much for this lite version!!
I was wondering if you have the cabs for Solitaire and Bubble Breaker (when you extracted them I was wondering if you kept them). I have searched and am unable to find them. It seems like they should be readily available but I am unable to find complete versions of their cabs.
Thanks again for this version and your time,
vjgrace
thanks for the base.. i wanted one that i could customize according to my needs
Hi,
Thanks I also wanted a lite rom. Just wanted to ask, since u said it's based on the latest official dopod rom, is it exactly the same with just those apps removed? No special tweaking, interpollating of other devices' roms, other imgfs, etc? (like what the other chefs are doing).Just the official dopod rom itself?
Edhass, care to provide some screen shots?
Edhass, you just did what I was contemplating doing last night!
Kudos for removing that ugly calculator with the buttons I can barely hit with my fingers. I never understood why some chefs left in that calculator while they blinged up the today screen and added nice dialpad skins.

Sorry about the games. It was a tough decision. In the end I took them out because I'd already played them to death. The freeware site in the second post has lots of games, including solitaire. There used to be cabs floating around here for the games, but I'm guessing they were pulled for copywrite issues. If I'm in error, it would be great if someone could post links or update. If you want, I could cook up another version with the games, I think they're around 500k together. It may take a few days though. If anyone else wants them, please post your request.

Feedback
drgopoos - you're welcome!
joecruz - It's all dopod. I played around with using another Java, and some other stuff, but for me the original works fine, and is much smaller. I changed some registry settings, and the initflashes, and removed stuff, but no mix and match in this version. Thanks for asking. Edit: I did change the version of mxip_notify.vol so that I could remove ceipui (phone home).
alancstan - I'll work on that. Basically its a standard WM6 looking rom. It boots into the Windows Default theme, but I've included the standard Guava Bubbles and Mobile Green themes. The difference is in the speed, stability, and available storage. You can make it look however you like!
rob.ocelot - Yeah, the calculator was always one of the first things I replaced when I ran a new rom. There's lots of better options out there.
Noticed that Remote Desktop is taken out as well. This actually works out better for me since you can install it to memory card -- more savings.
Any reason you left the sample pictures and dogbark.wav? (these are some of the first things to go when I start a new ROM)
Edit: Also no HTC X-button, which I almost always turn off. It never did mesh well with the way I use my PPC (closing/minimizing things to get to the today screen just to open the task manager).
I'm very impressed with how snappy everything seems to be!

Thanks for the comments! I chose to leave in the pics because they were really small, and I felt like there was some comfort factor involved for those transitioning from a stock rom. (When opening Pictures and Videos, its nice to have something there so you know its working.) I also sometimes use the dogbark for my alarm. (and its also small)
Actually the version 1.0 of x-button is built-in. This version is small, and its only function is to close an app completely if the x (close) is held down for a few moments. There is no today screen option. (Look in system settings, near the bottom, I think its called taskmgr or something. I've overwritten mine with a later version.) I didn't update it because I know there are folks like you who prefer other task managers, and I didn't remove it because for those who like to close their apps and not hide them its a simple solution.
Best wishes,
Many thanks for the Lite Rom, will try and see if working fine with my x01ht with chinese input.
No problem about the games

Added screen shots
Well, per request I've added some screenshots to the first and second posts. Please note the screen capture app was added after the flash, and that available memory is larger than shown.
Also, we're around a hundred downloads, and I'm guessing the relative quiet here means everything is working great, and the rom is just boringly reliable and efficient!
Best wishes,
Found this rom very good.
On the subject of a2dp skipping, would brief pausing be called skipping? I have parrot mk6000 hands free carkit. It's bluetooth version is 1.2. I realize that bluetooth version 2.0 is downward compatible, could this have something to do with pausing? or is it a processing bottleneck? or buffersize issue?
Thanks in advance

A2DP troubleshooting seems to be a bit of an art. I can tell you that my Plantronics P260 stereo headset streams beautifully and skip-free while running internet radio, or any of the usual music players with the current settings. If I add another app to the mix, the music will sometimes pause while the other app is busy, then resume. If you are running TomTom while streaming internet radio, you might get pauses. Or, the 1.2 bandwidth could be an issue also in that case.
I did a mini-search and found a posting by pocc that might be helpful for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1406333
Generally though, the current thinking is that usejointstereo should be "1", and all the "bitpool" settings should be deleted for the best sound. See here. Which is the way I set this rom at default. If you do want to tinker with these settings, I suggest using one of the custom tweak apps, or getting a registry editor. Let me know if you need further help.

(NOTE: In addition, I have been searching for TCPMP 0.81, but all versions I have found so far have been either incomplete, or unstable, once a fully working version has been located, I will make it available here.)
(January 2K10 Update: WM6.1 Optimized Edition can be found in Post #19 Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5367666&postcount=19)

Can I use the codecs and DLLs with Core Player?
I've got a message, that codec vp6f is missing.
How can I fix it?
Thanks.
Sapiora, to answer your question, I am not sure...
Korro, I have never heard of the vp6f codec, if someone is willing to send me a copy, I will test it, and include it in the next installer release.
seems this is FLV4 codec but don't know where to get it..
the FLV4 codec doesn't work
Can i open streming with this?
Hi. If i install this, can i play with it stems from internet .mms and .asx ?
Thanks ,
Theoretically, but I usually just use WMP for any (read virtually none) streaming I do...

will this player support Hardware Acceleration? i still can't play mp4(h.264) files flawlessly..

Pretty sure it will... It plays mp4's ok on my device anyhow... and I am using full acceleration with a 16Mb pagepool and the 128Mb RAM ugrade.
Well unfortunately this does not appear to be working on WM6.5 or at least not the one in my signature. Everything installs except for the player. I tried to run the player manually but that didn’t work either. Oh well.
Good to See You Again Unit Zero
Good to see you're still around. I no longer go to aximsite (I've got an HP), so I've not heard from you.
I was just thinking about you the other day when i saw aximsite got 'folded' and even uploaded your latest (then) Codec Pack 3. Luckily i didn't get around to re-installing it so I only have to re-install what I've got on there now.
BTW: any idea if coreplayercauses any 'issues' if it is installed on a device with TCPMP?
I've been following (or did) this thread over at PPCGeeks regarding the Monster TCPMP (monster is my word) package (TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4.1.CAB), and I was just curious if you had seen this and had any thoughts on the interoperability/synergy of your package.
I was able to see the thread last month, but i think they put it behind a VIP section.
Anyway, thanks ever so much for putting this together. It is invaluable.
Your work is very much appreciated;
Thanks again;

BTW: any idea if coreplayercauses any 'issues' if it is installed on a device with TCPMP?
I've been following (or did) this thread over at PPCGeeks regarding the Monster TCPMP (monster is my word) package (TCPMP-0.72RC1-GF5500Edition-Alpha4.1.CAB), and I was just curious if you had seen this and had any thoughts on the interoperability/synergy of your package.
I was able to see the thread last month, but i think they put it behind a VIP section.
Anyway, thanks ever so much for putting this together. It is invaluable.
Your work is very much appreciated;
Thanks again;
A (very grateful) Bug

Thanks bug, and it does seem that the monster TCPMP is now a VIP thread... On another note... I think I've solved the non appearing shortcut issue... I am using the LennySH WM6.1 A07 Beta 3 ROM, and I have tried deleting all shortcuts, and registry entries after uninstallation, and cold installing with both the .CAB and .EXE installers, and I have gotten a program shotcut in the start menu each time. It may be an issue with whichever ROM you are running... So all I can say is, please bear with it, and if you do not end up with a shortcut after installation, feel free to create one, the program should still work just fine.
I am currently experimenting with a series of plugins with which I can see .on2 (when they are given a ".flv" file extension) files, and hear their audio... but the frame rate is CH..OP..PY, I am getting framerates of 1 frame every 5 seconds at best. If anyone out there has a better, smoother codec, or the beginnings of one... please don't leave us hanging!
Re: Codecs
Would it be possible to uplload the .cab and .exe files here in this forum? I cannot d/l from that other site. Thanks!
Wow! just noticed I need to update my signature. I'm using HTC XV6800 w/ No2Chems 3.49 ROM
Windows Mobile 6.1 Optimized Install
I have compiled an updated, and streamlined release of my Master Codec Pack, it does include both a functional version of TCPMP, and all the plugins you would need to operate it on a newer model device. I have also fixed that nagging shortctus issue, once installed, a shortcut will appear in the programs submenu.
CAB Installer: TCPMP & Master Codec Pack 4 (WM6.1 Optimized Edition).CAB
PC Based EXE Installer: TCPMP & Master Codec Pack 4 (WM6.1 Optimized Edition).exe
Optimized Codec Archive (V.3): TCPMP Master Codec Library V.3 (WM6.1).zip
(NOTE: Please uninstalll ALL previous versions of the Codec Pack and of TCPMP, in order to install this cleanly)
Current file version is 4.0.3
Enjoy!
thanks for sharing...ill try this out later..

Best way to play an xvid AVI?

So, suppose I want to play an xvid-encoded AVI. Windows Media Player won't play it. I could perhaps install CorePlayer, but would prefer not to have to pay the $30 if I can possibly avoid it. I tried installing TCPMP (version 0.72RC1) but this errors on launch.
Any other suggestions?
My best advice if you're looking for free is to try some of the pre .72rc1 TCPMPs and see if you get lucky. I've used that program for many moons, and assuming it doesn't react badly to the TP2's resolution or something else, I'd like to continue to use it for a while.

Actually... do I want the "PocketPC" or "smartphone" version?
Edit: decided I probably wanted the PocketPC version, and tried installing version 71, 70 and 66. No dice. Earlier versions describe themselves as "unstable" so I'm reluctant to experiment with them.
Any other suggestions? Anybody?
Aha! Discovered a version of TCPMP that runs on the TP2 without erroring:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3275845&postcount=172
You need to go into Options/Settings... and choose the DirectDraw page, then tick the "Use blitting instead of overlay" box.

Thanks , I've bookmarked and downloaded. That's one of the first apps I install on a new download, and it would have been very sad to have to find a new one.

Of course, many people nowadays use CorePlayer which is the improved successor-product to TCPMP - but it isn't free.

It will depend on performance for TCPMP as to whether I seek out a payware app, but CorePlayer's features are mostly things I don't need. I have an HTPC, convert all content to xvid, and that's the stuff I want to watch on my TP2.
Coreplayer does streaming some extra formats and lots of goodies, but none are things I really want at the moment.

Some questions about the Touch Pro 2 [follower model, BlackBerry, Performance, Apps]

Hey there,
right now I am thinking about getting a new device and there are some questions that keep me awake at night.
1. Are there any news or rumors about the following model of the Touch Pro 2 ?
1.1 When do you expect the follower model of the TP2?
2. As far as I know from going through the respective threads, there is no possibility yet to get BlackBerry Messenger working on the TP2. Is that just a matter of (a bit of) time, or does this require some hardware/server/technical changes from BlackBerry?
Since in (most) German mobile phone stores the devices on display are not working (you can't switch em on), I wanted to ask about the performance of the TP 2.
3. Is the (outdated?) 528 Mhz processor of the TP2 capable of running smooth 3D user interface operations (I think it's called Manila) on the org. WM6.5 ROM?
3.1 While the TP2 comes with the standard WM6.1 ROM, would you recommend to switch to the org. WM6.5 ROM or are there any cooked ROMs which are not too much about customizing, but optimizing performance or overclocking?
4. I couldnt find anything about that on the HTC website, but does the org. WM6.5 ROM include apps like Facebook, Twitter, etc.?
4.1 Does the org. WM6.5 ROM for the Touch Pro 2 include HTC Sense, or more like: does it have the same user interface and functions as the Touch HD2 ROM? And if not, is there any cooked ROM for the TP2 that has all (or some of) those functions and is it working properly/smoothly? (just asking because the HD2 runs on a twice-as-fast 1 Ghz processor).
5. If you have time and feel like answering this: Are there any Apps for the TP2 that make or life easier, increase the performance, simplify the handling,etc.?
I would really appreciate some help on these questions.
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers.
an answer to only some of those questions would be helpful already
1. Here's a page with the supposed HTC roadmap for devices of 2010. Keep in mind these are leaked files; the phones might not be released, or there might be phones that are not on the list that could launch this year.
The last phone mentioned is the HTC Tera. This seems to be a more powerful (600Mhz CPU), yet downgraded TP2 (check out some of the mentioned specs, and look at the picture of the more inferior keyboard). IMO, I don't think it's worth waiting for this!
3. I don't have, nor have I ever tried, the official HTC-released WM6.5 ROM. I'm using a beta-ROM of WM6.5.5, which has the Start button at the bottom left of the screen. The processor is "outdated," especially since it was present on the original HTC TP1 (Raphael).
I have tried the stock-carrier-ROM with WM6.5 and Manila 2.1 for T-Mobile USA (HTC's ROM is also WM6.5 with Manila 2.1) and the Manila UI (the screens with the slider/tabs at the bottom of the screen) was fast.
3.1 Some people prefer not to switch to WM6.5 as it uses more program memory to process all of the graphical changes.
If you look for ark666's Rhodium_AF ROMs in the ROMs section, you might find they look very "stock-ish" but run efficiently.
4. I believe there is Facebook integration in the ROM. Otherwise, you could go into the new WM Marketplace on the TP2 and download the Facebook App for free. Likewise (I think) for Twitter.
4.1 The HTC ROM comes with Manila (aka Sense) 2.1. Sense 2.1 looks something like this (of course, there will be some visual differences, as this is customized).
Sense2.5 is currently official to run only on the HTC HD2. XDA-Developer ROM chefs, however, have ported this to many other HTC devices. Sense 2.5 looks like this. These are usually a little laggier, but not too much. I've loved these "'Leo' ROMs for Rhodium" for 4 months now.
5. There are many apps out there! You would definitely want to have Advanced Configuration Tool as it contains many tweaks.
Here's where you can get apps: 1800PocketPC, WM6software, freewarepocketpc, the WM Marketplace on the WM6.5 (though there's a download to get it on WM6.1) update, XDA-Developers (via searching). You will notice many apps can be found in any -- if not all -- of the links. There are many people who upload the same software on different websites.
Thanks heaps sumflipnol!
1. I totally agree, the HTC Tera (as of todays available information) doesnt seem to be worth waitnig for.
3. & 3.1. You said ark666's Rhodium_AF Roms are WM6.1 and run efficiently. So I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552821 As far as I understand, he is offering 2 versions: 21889 as WM6.1 and 23518 which is the WM6.5 version with Manila 2.5 (looks like that in the youtube video he posted). Are both version working smoothly/efficiently?
4. & 4.1. I took a look at the Energy "Leo" ROM and it looked very nice. What I really like about Manila 2.5 is the bigger buttons which makes it easier to navigate with fingers. But what are the differences to ark666's 23518 ROM?
What I would appreciate is a smoothly running ROM with Manila 2.5 (the bigger buttons). So I dont know which would be the better choice. ark666's 23518 ROM or Energy "Leo"'s?
5. Thanks a lot for that. I saw a bunch of useful Apps on those sites. However there are 2 Apps I would really like to have:
A. WMWifiRouter (which turns you phone into a regular Router so you can connect your laptop via wireless and have mobile internet), but the website (http://www.wmwifirouter.com) doesn't say whether it's working for WM6.1/6.5 or not.
B. An App which I dont know the name of, but I know it is available for Iphone. With this App you can let your phone record a few seconds of a song (maybe while driving and listening to the radio) and then it searches online for the Artist and Title of the song.
If anyone knows anything regarding question 2 (BlackBerry Messenger), it would be much appreciated, since most of my contacts have BlackBerrys.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the BB questions, but I've got some other stuff that might be useful...
WMWifiRouter should work for you in 6.1/6.5. They have a time-limited trial version so you can give it a test drive first, I've attached the cab below. However, there's also a free solution available here on xda that may be adequate for you, it's called HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing, details on THIS THREAD. Try 'em both out and see what you prefer...the free one works just fine for me!
The music app you're thinking of is probably Shazam, and it's available in the windows marketplace. There's also at least one other app that claims to do the same thing, but I think Shazam is the more mature and widespread app.

3. & 3.1. Sorry! I meant ark666's ROMs are all WM6.5, but they look close to a stock ROM, and run as efficiently as WM6.1 (so I've been told)!
Build 21889 is WM6.5, which [still] has the Start button at the top-left corner.
Builds with 23xxx, 24xxx, 28xxx are WM6.5.X (X being either 3 or 5). These have the Start button at the bottom-left of the screen, as you can see in the Sense2.1 link I had in my previous post.
Based on that info ^^^ ark666's ROM, WM6.5 with Sense 2.5 is here. While his WM6.5.5 with Sense 2.5 is here. I have yet to try these newly released ROMs, so I cannot comment on them.
4 & 4.1. You can't really notice differences in WM builds, especially since the chefs usually enhance it more. The EnergyROMs are highly customized and have many apps and tweaks already built-in whereas Rhodium_AF ROMs, like I said, are close to stock. The flashing process is very easy and shouldn't take that long, so you should try these ROMs.
However, now that you're asking about the EnergyROMs, you should also check out agent_47's ValkyrieROMs. These are sort of "in the middle" of the EnergyROMs and Rhodium_AF ROMs.
5b. Shazam is okay, but I really use/prefer Midomi (attached).
Hey,...
...sorry to push this thread to the top.
Just a quick question: I just got my new TP2 and saw, that on the back cover, there is no protection glass over the camera. It is just a whole. Is that normal?
I'm just wondering, because thats the first time is see this on a HTC device. I mean it's kinda unconvenient, since dust can get underneath the back cover easily.
**push**
Yes, that's normal.

[q] at&t tilt2 lite rom with no sense

Can someone direct me to a nice lite fast rom for the above device. I'm looking for something superlite.
Yes, I have search and most roms, even though they say they are lite, they have a bunch of stuff in them plus, i hate htc message client.
Thank you so much.
if you do not like sense, then use one of the titanium rom. Energy titanium is pretty nice. He updates them pretty rapidly and the rom is quite stable.
I've tried NRGZ28 Titanium rom but still has a lot of stuff that i dont use. like games and other things.
I need something superlite.
N E 1????
If you wait till this weekend, I will finish one, I'm tired of Sense too (too slow)/TF3D (buggy on WM6.5.5/6.5.3). I hope you like WM6.5.3 builds, because I'm not moving out of that!
(build 21680, only some core apps pre-installed and drivers and audio/video codecs.)
I will hopefully unlock the gestures and media control on lockscreen, as has LG Fathom. It is there, I edited registry as needed but still doesn't work, gotta keep searching...

That sounds GREAT! I never got around to cooking up a Foundation 6.5.3 and I never seem to have the time lately.
Will you be leaving the Windows Media DRM packages in? I know a lot of cooks take it out, but removing it breaks Amazon unbox.
I have to smile...

NRGZ28 has made a very lite ROM used mainly for booting into Android. You might like it. It boots very quickly and has VERY little on it. If you go to the Energy ROM thread, it is listed in the download link to MaxSense, Sense 2.1, and Titanium. He doesn't have it listed on the thread, but it is in the same repository as the aforementioned ROMs on Hotfile.
The file name is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA LITE ROM)_28.Jan.2010.rar. Happy flashing.

I thought this was a joke until I read a bit.
+1 to the title.
My ROM is combining graphics from the latest TF3D-based ROM, with CHome (default plugins, no specialities), including the basiest software (Office, Adobe reader, drivers, Album, internet sharing, calculator, audiobooster, fm radio, myphone, BING and some small core applications needed for these), where you have about 340MB ROM after first boot free! (I'm not saying RAM, because I'm still playing with it a bit).
Anyway, today I made one huge step forward, I finally enabled the lockscreen WMP controls, like on the 1:32 here on LG Fathom video review.

Sounds good, keep up the good work. Pls dont include htc message client and if you put in auto net confi, I'm sure its going to be a great Rom.
Thank you so much for your hard work.
