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!!!!
lebero

the comm manager looks like this and the scrolling of phone, bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi is going in the upper one line

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.

[APP] (Updated 20100627) Slide2Send 0.9.1 beta

Hi all,
i decided to start a new thread to facilitate Slide2Send 0.5 beta and further versions.
The idea for this application comes from this thread
The program makes use of this wrapper, created by rwt33
Special thanks to Daddy2k for his help with adding a send message in the send items folder.
Issues regarding Slide2Send can be posted here from now on.
Slide2send has the following features
Folder View (Swipe from right to left in inbox view)
New SMS (Swipe from left to right in inbox view)
Slide2Send (in new message view)
Slide2Reply (in detail message view)
Skinning options
Sent sms to unknown contact(s) (my own suggestion to do this)
Sent sms to multiple contacts (contacts will be displayed, you have to click the contact image (or the area where a contact image would be) to select a contact, select it again to deselect)
Mark sms as read after reading
Delete all SMS
Delete SMS
Mark sms as read after deleting
Refresh Inbox after new recieved SMS
Language section added to settings.xml
First letter search in contact screen
About screen
Conversation mode and normal mode ,conversation mode currently works as follows, sms messages are grouped by contact/number and send/recieved time, the last send or recieved message is displayed first. if you select a message it is either opened and the details are displayed or a new list is displayed that shows the conversation history. you can then again select a message and the details will be displayed. a red arrow indicates a send message to a contact and a green arrow indicates a recieved message from a contact. Conversation mode can currently only be turned off by setting the <ConversationView> item to 0 in the settings.xml
It should display in both QVGA,WQVGA and VGA,WVGA.
The latest version is 0.9.1 beta
This version has the following:
speed improvements, initial startup time will probably still feel a bit slow, but overall performance will be much improved. (although scrolling could feel a bit unresponsive on some devices, still working on that )
bugfix: NullPointerException in draft folder
bugfix: sms inbox not correctly displayed when recieving a new sms
bugfix: sms inbox not correctly displayed when sending a new sms
bugfix: sms inbox not correctly displayed when deleting a new sms
more tweaking of the UI
Skinning
If users would like to use their own images in the application, all images in the UI folder can be replaced with your own. The program resizes the images if needed, but for best results please use the same dimensions at the original images.Please also read post #3
Known bugs
The program currently has performance issues, this is work in progress.
Some screenshots

Language settings
The setting.xml contains a language section, that looks like the following. The program uses these entries to display menu text and messages. The properties code and Name are currently not used, because i am not sure what to do with these. For now simply edit the values where you see fit!
<LanguageSettings>

Also feel free to post your language sections, so i can include them in later versions, or for use by others

Color settings and custom images
If users would like to use their own images in the application, all images in the UI folder can be replaced with your own. The program resizes the images if needed, but for best results please use the same dimensions at the original images.
The settings.xml contains a skinning/color section, that looks like the following. All color values have to be HTML hex values (inclusing the # !)
The next version(s) will expand on ,and add to, these settings for a hopefully richer skinning experience.
<ColorSettings>
<ListBackgroundColor>#FFFFFF</ListBackgroundColor>
<ListFontColor>#000000</ListFontColor>
<SelectedItemColor>#0000FF</SelectedItemColor>
<FormColor>#000000</FormColor>
<UnreadColor>#FF0000</UnreadColor>
<SliderLeftColor>#FF0000</SliderLeftColor>
<SliderRightColor>#00FF00</SliderRightColor>
</ColorSettings>

unZIP the archive into a folder on your phone, and then run the executable! As its still in BETA - the author hasn't fully completed the software, and in this case, that means no .CAB!!!

version update
Hi all,
a small update, work is progressing quite smoothly, but i have again made some changes that has made it neccessary to redo the settings logic. I will need a few more days to get things sorted out.
thank you for your patience.

I'm really interested in your application. It would be really nice to implement a custom send provider functionality. In the way that someone can choose if he wants to send from his mobile device directly or a provider on the internet. (I'm currently working on a project to archieve that, so maybe we can work together, which language do you use?)
I saw that you have problems saving messages to the SMS Store. I made a DLL for that purpose. I hope you can use that

thanks for the dll, it works very well! . I am programming the app in C#
for those interested i am calling the dll method like this:
[DllImport("SMSStore.dll")]
private static extern bool createSMSinSentStore (string toNumber, string message, string displayName);

Looks like it will be good, can't wait!

finally version 0.5 has been released. currently there is no installer and no program icon, this will be added in the next version. This version has also no splashscreen at startup.

Please see the first three posts for more info

Here is the translation in Greek Language.
There is no translation for menu items: Exit, Delete all and About.
Can we add the nessesary strings for these items, or we must wait for the next version?

Tested it in Touch HD, but the resolution is not correct, everything is very small.

Porting LG Fathom ROM (v5) to eXpo/IQ

I've spent the last little while porting the LG Fathom ROM (v5) to my LG IQ to see if there is anything from it that I want to add to my own ROM before I add the finishing touches. Is anyone else working on this by chance?
Here is where I am at....
Home Screen:
{
"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_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Not much to see here. the Verizon Theme is pretty dark. They re-arranged the list, added favorite contacts and changed text to message.
Start Menu:
- The start menu lists several new additions
Message - SMS/MMS replacement​Visual Voice Mail - Verizon VVM​Mobile Email - Outlook E-mail replacement​Mobile IM - AIM, WL & Yahoo IM Client​City ID - App & Plugin that shows contact city name based on number​VZ Navigator - Verizon GPS Navigation​World Clock - It's a world clock​Office Mobile 2010 - upgraded to 2010 from v4​
Settings:
- Lock Key is a new addition to the main settings screen. Enabling this app causes your phone to resume to lock state from suspend state.
Connections:
- Normally Beam is hidden here. The only new addition is Switch USB. This app allows you to switch between RNDIS mode, Dial-up modem mode and USB Mass Storage.
Personal:
- Voice Commands is the configuration interface for Nuance, the voice command app included instead of MS Voice Command.
System:
- Several changes were made in the System folder. The icons and programs for Backlight, Power and System Information were updated. The CPL Sensors was added (Proximity, Backlight & Rotation sensor control). ClearStorage has moved to become a tab under Memory and WirelessLAN appears to have been removed although the exe is still included in OEMMisc. Finally the GPS program port has changed to COM5 instead of GPD9.
Dialer:
- LG has updated the Dialer for the Fathom. The appearance is very similar, but corrected to match the WM 6.5.x screen structure (small taskbar, large bottom bar with touch buttons).
On-screen Keyboard:
- The on-screen keyboard has been updated. Again you don't get an on-screen keyboard in landscape mode.
Lockscreen:
- LG added Gesture Unlock (\Settings\Lock). It allows you to unlock your phone and launch an app based on the gesture you enter.
LG Camera:
- LG removed the Flash setting from the camera app (since the Fathom has no flash) and clicking on the Album button (bottom right) now takes you to Pictures & Videos (the 3D LG Album has been removed).
***
Next post will discuss specific apps and current issues
TrueG

Issues:
City ID:
This app is pretty cool. You can enter a number and it will tell you what city is it from. More importantly, there is a plug-in for the dialer that will tell you the city you are calling or being called from. It requires the LG dialer and the city name shows up in the dialer and the lock screen.
I have the plug-in working, but when I try and use the app, it tells me to restart the phone. Since everything but OEMDrivers & OEMDriversHigh have been ported, there must be a setting in the RGU or a missing file, although I don't really care about the app, it's the plug-in that has real value.​
Lock Key:
The Lock Key app under settings would be very useful. The app simply sets a value in the registry (HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyLock\EnabledKeyLock=1) but I can't get it to work. I'm guessing a different keypad driver is required (or whichever DLL deals with the power button).​
Gesture Unlock:
Although this appears to be running (screen comes up in lockscreen and I can make gestures), I can't get it to unlock using a gesture. Technically, I'm not really interested in this function, so I haven't spent much time on it.​
Switch USB:
I've spent a bit on time on this one, but I can't get it work 100%. I can get it to open without error and I can switch between ActiveSync mode and VZAccess Manager mode. When I try to use USB Mass Storage mode, I get the error "Insert SD Card". I've tried every dll that I can think of, but nothing gets past this error. It may be that the VS750 uses a different address for the SD card slot and it may never work on our device without a patch. Although I may skip trying to get it to work. As it is with ActiveSync and VZAccess Manager, you need to reset between changes. If you need to reset between switching to USB Mass Storage, then I am not interested. I can already use WM5torage to activate USB Mass Storage on demand.
Also, I was able to switch it to USB Mass Storage mode by modifying the registry.
Change HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\DefaultClientDriver from RNDIS to Mass_Storage_Class and reboot. When the phone comes back up it will be in USB Mass Storage mode (\OEM\OEMDrivers\usbmsfn.dll required)​
Backlight & Power:
LG updated the Backlight & Power control panels to support the WM 6.5.x tab structure (select between pages using top arrows. Neither works properly. For example in \Backlight\Brightness you can't change the brightness level. Using Backlight.dll from the Fathom doesn't work with our Backlight. Power properly shows the power level, but the advanced controls don't work.​
Sensor:
The Sensor control panel app works perfectly.​
Clear Storage:
Clear Storage is now found under \Settings\System\Memory although I can't get it to work. I get the error, NV Reset is failed. I don't want to play around with this and accidentally brick my phone.​
LG Dialer:
No problems.​
***
Does anyone else have experience porting over LG Fathom apps? I would be interested to hear issues or fixes other people have run into.
TrueG

Looks good, I'm about to start building my own Expo ROM as soon as exams are over.

thanks for all you work on this trueg, looks great! how is development on it so far? Would it be possible for you to release the OEM files you modified so others can cook their own roms?

[Theme Keyboard] Make your own themed HTC IME Keyboard

Hey y'all. just reaching out to all the HTC IME fans out there, i recently switched to it as my go-to keyboard bc of its fluidity, gestures, and customizability but i never really liked the white and gray look of it, esp on our SAmoled screens. so i did a quick google search and I stumbled upon this:
Please keep in mind this is a somewhat BASIC theme maker
ALL CREDIT GOES TO gIMpSTa for creating this super, super simple online kitchen
Originally from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6014597#post6014597
gIMpSTa said:
The reason I've been slower at posting requests lately is about to come clear!
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit

Links are in the quote, but i'll put them out here bc i know most ppl will be intimidated and skip over it

URL for LOW RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/
Yeah it says its a BETA, yeah its in the Nexus One thread, and yeah you have to register first (one of the simplest registrations ive ever seen), but i just created my own theme and its working perfectly! When i made my theme, i selected "v27-froyo high res" (its default)
You will need Clicker.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16210550/Clicker.apk
Installation steps:
1) Create your theme on your computers browser
1b) DL to your phone via any QR Scanner
--OR--
1) Create your theme right from your phone!
2) Extract the zip
3) Install the apk (both keyboard + clicker apks)
4) Settings>Keyboard>Enable HTC IME Keyboard
5) Settings>Keyboard>Set Input method to HTC IME Keyboard
Done
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE KEYBOARD INSTALLED you have to uninstall(or remove from system/app) the original HTC_IME_mod.apk or else it wont stick after you reboot.You might as well make a backup of your original apk, just in case.
FYI, im running Calk's v1.1 and am not experiencing any problems, whatsoever.
ENJOY
Edit: after rebooting/killing the keyboard none of my settings are sticking.. -.-' --FIXED. just make sure to install the Clicker.apk link above (link from VeNuM's Black theme thread)

This was posted in the alt keyboard thread but its cool that it has its own thread as its such a valuable tool, thanks for creating the OP!

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,
