HTC Shift with Liberated SnapVue or Custom ROM - Problems FAQ - Shift Development

I think that we need this thread because many of us lioberated the SnapVue or changed the ROM with customs ROM anb after that we see lot of great new options as GPS or more free space but also there are few problems and we need to talk about them and find solutions. Below are few problems and solutions:
Q: I changed the ROM and the Opera Mini sometimes show me white screen and block my WM side?
A: When you see white screen just click and keep pressed on the left up corner of the white screen.
Q: I changed the ROM and there is no microphone now on WM side?
A: Seems that microphone stop working after the ROM is changed and there is no solution until now.
Q: I changed the ROM and the backlight don't keep the level I choose and always go to maximum.
A: This happen only when Vista is started but when the Vista is OFF the backlight keep the custom level.
Q: I liberated my SnapVue but now I can't download attachement received on my email?
A: Do not click on attachement, just right click on it and choose "Save as".
Q: I changed the ROM and now my keyboard appear as in other language. How can I restore that?
A: Just search on the forum how to edit the registry with the value for your language and all is done.
Q: I changed the ROM and there is no sound on WM side or Vista side. Why?
A: This problem can be fixed by cahnging the ROM with one with this problem fixed. Just search the forum.
Q: I want to change the ROM but this not work for me?
A: Just HardSPL your SnapVue/WM side and then conect it with Vista with USB tools then try again.
Q: There is no SD card, no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no voice and no camera on my SnapVue/WM side. Why?
A: These options was factory "disabled" for SnapVue/WM side and we don't have a solution until now.
Q: My HTC SHift come with GPS receiver inside or you talk about external GPS receiver?
A: Yes, your HTC Shift come with GPS receiver inside and there are custome ROM's which can enable it.
If anyone know any other solutions for problems, please post them here.

I think (don't quote me ok?) that what you want is START>SETTINGS>PERSONAL TAB>SOUNDS AND NOTIFICATIONS>NOTIFICATIONS TAB and use the pull down to message connect (connection established) (and any others that are annoying you) and uncheck "Display message on screen"
Let me know if that does not do what you want and I can do some more research.
Bill
thanks for the reply but there doesnt seem to be one that stops this popup. on the new diamond ROMS there is an option in the touch flo settings but my rom is based on TNT's 6.1 rom which i have cooked in my own program preferences.

On my system - I have V3.5Death installed currently - I can do the pulldown and on the connection established I can uncheck the display message option and I no longer have that display - actually - on the V3.5 DEath ROM I believe that this is set as the default - (I REALLY like the defaults on this guys ROM as they are VERY close to what I had mine set at before I install it.
Sorry that does not work - I would have been surprised if it did because I knew that you cooked ROMs yourself and that is higher on the learning curve than I currently am myself.
Good luck!
Bill
As you are using a cooked (and ported) Rom you need to ask your question in the thread for that Rom.
The answer provided works for WM 5.0 - 6.1 Rom that I've ever used.

WINDOWS MOBILE 6.5 21193/21193 update 25.3.2009

XIP 31193
SYS 31193
hello im working on new version and now it is stable and working
here is link
all buttons working (red button .......)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/8ger2y
and here is video of rom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozY9aKAMy58
scroll down for screenshots
My observations:
+ damn fast
- red/power button doesn't wors as power-down button and phone toggle
- no wireless/comm manager
- some bitmaps doesn't look very well (not a big problem)
- strange names in Buttons settings
- no palm messaging (but maybe it's jus me)
At the moment I'm going back to 6.1 with palm oems, but I do really cross fingers for you and your rom. If you'll put new version soon, I'm getting it! Great work!

thx to u next version will be faster then this (i belive)
i need port original applications form palm wm5 to more usable on this palm
1-2 days for it
i dont like palm messaging
original is better for me
I used default messaging for a long time (so called "lite" version of 6.1)
The biggest problem for me is comm manager and power button. Accidentialy I flashed again to your rom so I'll stick with this one now, try to configure it for my needs (it's just question of few apps to cure most of "problems").
Can't wait to see next version.
Best regards.

haven't tried the clean version, but on the new palm version, the soft menu is the old version and links like phone settings or today settings dont work. *have to use start menu*
also not able to connect to an exchange server. link to set it up in activesync seems to be dead.
red button, and wireless manager seem to work.
will check out the clean version as well.
edit: reset the phone. activesync, email, and exchange all work.
soft key bar still isn't like your first update *i assume it changed in 6.5, and this is the old version* and phone and today settings links in soft menu are still broken.
edit#2: seems the email account isn't listed in the accounts settings window. also at least one keyboard shortcut didn't work (whitebutton + P for brightness settings) i assume this has to do with the "weird" names programs have listed under buttons.
i want to update to 6.5 but is it possible to go back to orignal at&t oem rom afterward to will there be some problem....???????

thx for test i repair it today
Just downloaded your rom, will let you know the details soon
Ok here is the review of this rom, the one with palm oem applications and commmanager,
Pros:
Fast and stable
Volume is better compare to 6.1
It has inbuilt mass storage driver which 6.1 lack
Shortcut are sorted in appropriate folders in start menu
Black Theme is default, which is very good
Display is better compare to 6.1
There are 2 flavour of Wmplayer
Comm Manager is now full functional
And More............
Cons:
Instead of green light to show the network now its showing orange,
Vibrate is not working
There is slight jerk in display while changing screen from one program to another
There is no Call screen, Mean when you are answering a call or had dialed a call you want be able to see the duration of the call.
Hi there, thank you very much for your great work. I have a quick question: My Treo has a German (QWERTZ) keyboard, will it be detected somehow?, or the ROM will asume its a QWERTY keyboard. I don't mind the OS being in English, that would even be better, is there a quick way to patch the ROM to make it work with the QWERTZ keyboard?
Thank you so much in advance.
About in call screen. It's all around ActiveCall and DialLookup plugins. Maybe changing some registry values will fix it (I had similar situations once and editing some registry solved my problems). Tomorrow I'll compare some of my keyes with working wm6.
-If your syncing to an Exchange server, the Manage Folders function does not work to be able to select addition folders.
-blank HTCSETTINGS icon under System.. appears to do nothing
- 2 PHONE apps under Personal settings. Different functions, but named the same
- There is something off with trying to go into Messages from the Today screen. Takes a few clicks to actually make it work. It doesn't do it everytime.
That's all I found for the moment.. obviously WLAN option does nothing on mine
I've noticed one more thing: there's no "white dot" indicating text input with active function key. It's a bit tricky when you try to type password and you don't see what you write...
But in general it works very well. But installing "hidelogo" caused reset loop and I had to hard-reset.
Great work!
EDIT:
Change HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/"Dial Lookup"/Type from 4 to 6 <- it will fix active-call-screen-problem Works for me.
i build new version today with all palm applications and battery test show me 14days
it is quickly then last version i upload it soon
it need some small fixes
UPLOADED 1st link

Butler - new features

Hi there,
I just picket up the code of butlef app made by siggie1970
Butler - Using capacitive area as stroke launcher and many more features
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464611
I decide to put some new features like layout change on keyboard slide out. It is useful for stoping SIP poping out. You can point to nullkb or any other layout.
Setings available in registry by any registry editor or by AdvancedConfig (configuration file and only Butler section for config file below)
New features added:
1. Feature lets you to set keyboard layout on keyboard slide in/out.
defautl values for IN - Full Qwerty, for OUT - nullKB. Configurable via registry keys:
EnableSIPChangerKbd
KbdInSIP
KbdOutSIP
2. (Butler1.2) After slide in (in my Rom) some services or apps ?? sets back the Compact layout. So double check added to butler - if after slide in 2sec keyboard was changed to something else but not the KbdInSIP, butler sets it again, otherwise no action performed.
that's more like it! I'll check it out after my ROM release, I'm currently building it right now
Thanks linuxis,
I'll test the new slide function. Wondering what wil happen happen when the keyboard is slid out and I pull my stylus out
I'll also let you know if the errors are still there if there is no HKCU\ControlPanel\Profiles key and value like Noonski pointed out. Might wanna include the settings in the cab.
Cheers,

Good idea about "HKCU\ControlPanel\Profiles" Next release...
i have the old one
does this one let you use both sip change from stylus and keyboard? cause that was pretty much the one missing feature or is it just keyboard now?
and if i install this cab will i gotta redo all the links and such. aaand is there any settings or same reg edits only?

Yes, it lets you to change both. Separate registry keys for configuration.
No setings - you can use AdvancedConfig or registry editor. I thing that setings
is not used often and application would be bigger and more complex. So no plans for setings.
After install it will overwrite registry setings. If you want to keep old ones - save.
i had added the settings into advanced config for the old version
are you able to see the new feature of keyboard out sip setting in there? i only see the old settings so far
(and what is the number letter code for nullkb? thanks) im an idiot i searched around the interweb finally got the code then went to edit the setting and realized it was arleady set to nullkb blah but great job with the update coudlnt be happier
I had tried to use Butler with NATF ver 4.1 and it frooze the phone at the reboot screen. I had to do a hard reset, do you know if this version has the same issue?
Yup it does on certain roms. I have bo idea why some roms do and some roms dont have the problem.
Advice would still be to always make a full backup of your rom before installing this program!

No idea also. Mine device with ROMeOS 1.51 works fine.
One slite issue - if butler was initialised in portrait mode after slide out/int keyboar changes to one you've configured, but after few seconds it changes to compact qwerty .... if you initialize with keyboard slide out/in keyboard changes to what you've configured and stays (as it should be).
I've investigated that issue shortly, so no idea where is the issue. But I will.
It seems that not the butler changes to the compact kdb.
Does anyone has the same ??

linuxis, I was checking the code before maybe you could disable setting of SIP on initialization? On the old code, I think it's on Butlerlib.cpp line 862 to 878.

Let me know if that works because I don't see the point of having the SIP initialized on startup in the code-- Butler will be detecting the change of stylus in/out (or in your case slide-in/slide-out) anyway when the main thread starts (correct me if I'm wrong about this )
Which ROMs work
Firstly - loving Butler, it's an excellent addition to the phone and if HTC have half a brain it'll be in the next standard ROM released!
Is there any chance we could post up which ROMs work with Butler and which don't? Just thinking it'll save people some time hard resetting and setting up their phones again if they're on a non-working ROM.
Qsqa's PROven ROM 2.1 - Working fine
At0mAng V4.0 - Shows keyboard during boot up, but works fine after that
Qsqa's PROven ROM 2.2 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
Elite RC3 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
Anyone care to chip in their experiences?
PDAVIET V12 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
PDAVIET V13 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
DA_G Kitchen ROMS - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing (at least the ones I cooked)
Off topic, with a combination of SlideActions & KforTouchPro (and butler for the null keyboard) I now have my SIP's and keyboard working like the should. XT9 when needed, and MS$ driver when the keyboard is slide out. So now I can actualy use the keyboard in iGO8 en Ctrix clients!
Thanks!
Cheers

RREv4 freezes as well
Alternativly, although not quite as developed as butler, TouchLockPro now allows for the launching of programs/command parameters for capacitive swipes and actually adds four more capacitive swipes than what butler does. Likewise it does NOT freeze upon start up for whatever reason on any rom I've tried.
proven works
[BUG] Problem with Manilla.
It has problem with manilla. After launching app its a must to change active tab if you want launch this or another app again.

Yes, Butler doesn't impact on the touch sensitive circle area at all, it only notices and interprets light swipes over the call/home/back buttons.

New Owner questions... e. g. G-Sensor, colors...

Hi,
i have bought a German Vodafone branded Touch Diamond 2. But i have some questions:
- There is a built-in G-Sensor, which can be calibrated, but it do nothing else. I can rotate the phone till my hands fall off, but nothing happens (i already tried some registry tweaks, i found in this forum)
- When i click on the Symbols in the Startmenu line e. g. the battery symbol, then it doensn't open the battery settings, but something called "notifications" (Benachrichtigungen).
- The Manila screen has wrong colors. White/red instead of black/white. How can i change it?
- How can i get the "HTC Audio Manager" to play the files in a folder? I want to listen to a audiobook, but it messes up the file order, which is pretty annoying.
Now, while i am writing this, i think about flashing a unbranded ROM could be simpler, right? But is this the solution i am looking for?
Greets

- Accelerometer: Are you attempting to use the g-sensor for anything in particular? Try loading up the game "Teeter" which relies on the accelerometer for moving the ball along a maze. There are few provided apps which require the accelerometer functionality, and Manila doesn't rotate by default.
- TouchFLO notifications is an addon provided by HTC. Search the forums for instructions on how to disable this functionality; I believe there are a couple of applications which will allow you to do this without manually editing registry keys etc.
- Red / White is Vodafone's brand. You may be able to install a replacement skin for Manila, it's up to you.
I'm afraid I don't use my Topaz for listening to music, so I can't help with your final issue.
Flashing an unbranded ROM may resolve the third issue, but the rest will more than likely remain. I don't see them being issues, though, just personal preference!
HTH.
Thanks for the answers!
The solution for the first and the second problem is this. If someone is wondering: The Topaz has a built in G sensor, but it is unused, mean's that no installed program is using this feature by default. Really strange from my point of view!
The third problem seem to be a little more difficult: M2DC say's that manila is not installed! And i wasn't able to find a Diamond II skin to download. Others are available. Maybe someone can give me a hint?
For the fourth problem i work around using a patched TCPMP, which looks a little outdated, but is my personal number one for media playback.
Greets schnurzelat
I think you will find that the sensor is used when you flip the phone over on an incoming call to mute the ringing!
That's why I never use branded ROMs (T-Mobile Germany)!
M2DC won't work 100% with new Manillas, never worked on branded or official ROMs for me.
Try latest original German HTC WM6.1 ROM Build 1.39.407.1.
I don't like WM6.1, so I use Tom's Leo R2 WM6.5 incl. very nice Manilla 2.5, which runs great with latest Radio, but it's English language.
I don't like branded ROM's too. But the german vodafone flash isn't availble yet - so i can't go back in case of warrenty issue.

Noob Need Some Help!

Hi guys, I just got my HTC pure a few days ago, and I'm trying to customize it. However I'm kinda a beginner at this, so I was hoping you guys would be kind enough help me with them. I have a series of question and any help is welcome.
1. How do I rotate the Manila screen? I had the TD2 tools install and it works on some programs. I think lyriquidperfection had already given the answer for this but I cant seem to find it. And if you're kind enough, please tell me how the programs work, coz there's no instruction anywhere.. BTW, the enable manila screen in the TD2 doesn't work and I have Manila 2.1.19183217.0 which the forum said should be able to rotate.
2. I cant get Manila to work with programs like S2P or Mircosoft Word, which is unusual since there programs support landscape view , any help with that?
3. I heard there a way for you to put shortcuts into Home tab, how do you do this? And can you change the background picture of other tabs other than just the home tab and the start menu?
4. At&T sent me a text said that I have to choose a data plan or they will choose one for me, which is a bummer. They changed the regulation in September and I didnt know anything about it. They should've sent mail to all customers about this. They didn't even tell me anything when I upgraded my phone until after the Sim card was activated. Anyway, is there a way to get out of this? if not, I read in the forum there a way for you to use your phone as a modern unnotice by AT&T, is this true?
5. Is there a way for the phone to rotate in more than the 2 default directions? When I check the G-sensor, it detects all directions.
6. The last one is flash ROM, there a ROM in this forum that the guys was able to make the Manila Screen Rotate sideway, and he got the music player rotates too. But I dont really like the look of the whole display. So my question is can I install a ROM and use only parts of it functions while left the others the way it is? And Do you think Flashing ROM is a better solution than using TD2 for G-sensor rotation?
Here a link to the ROM: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562942 (I cant post a link since I'm a new user)
Thank you in advance for all your helps!
3) Shortcuts in Manila home screen is a feature of Manila 2.5. You would have to flash to a ROM using this version. It is possible to have the same image in all tabs using one of two methods. Either with bg4alltabs or with HDWall. Search the forum to learn more.
I can't help much with your other questions as most are rotate based and i don't bother with that!
Thanks DirkGently1 for responding . I actually solved number 1, 2, and 5 which are all about rotation. I edited the registry of some programs and used G-config for the rest. Somehow it worked like a charm. For some reasons TD2 Tools didn't seem to work on my phone. For #6, it turned out I have to unlock my phone to be able to Flash ROM and I'm just happy with the way my phone is now so maybe in the future. Still #4, does anyone knows how to get out of the data plan?
