I've been running Ultimatelaunch for about a month (unregistered) with no stability issues.
Try searching here. They have answered a lot of questions. If you don't find it then post. They are pretty good about getting you an answer.
no issue for me I use it with SPB mobile shell , pocket plus, pocket weather, rltoday
Do not put today plugins inside UL and on the today screen at the same time .... that causes me problems

Yeah, make sure all today plugins that you want INSIDE the Ultimate Launch are UNCHECKED to be on your Today Screen.

I am using PhoneAlarm on the Today Screen and the following inside of Ultimate Launch
Weather Panel
Battery Status
Today Agenda
Seems to work with one exception.
If I go to Mail, open the keyboard (Rotate Screen) then go to the today screen and close the keyboard, INSTANT LOCKUP. If I stay in mail, and go back to the closed position, I am fine.... Otherwise seems to be working.
i have been having problems too... since i installed UL my user interface has been extremely lagging. and i have tried all kinds of ways to get it working perfectly like how everyone says it works.
a lot of people says it works perfectly with out anything, but wheni have it installed it laggs up unbelievably...
i even have to put a back up until the latest time in order to get everything working.
hi,
i´m using ul for 2 month now and everything works fine! i use todayagenda and htc home inside ul and the wireless today plugin above and my mailprogram (tobit david) among ul.

Never install Today Plugins to your Storage Card, that can cause problems!
Hi there guys,
been searching if anybody had the following problem, then i stumbled on this thread, where somebody might be able to help me.
I had a qtek 9100 before with ultimatelaunch, with today plugins in ultimatelaunch. This worked perfectly, nothing wrong.
Recently, i purchased a Kaiser (to be precise, a T-mobile MDA Vario 3), on which i tried to run Ultimatelaunch. Everything works fine, except after i launched an application & go back to the today screen. When i run tomtom for example, and i go back to the today screen, the ultimatelaunch part is not automatically refreshed. If i just press in the area once, its redrawn. Does anybody have the same issue, or even better, a suggestion on how to solve it?
thnx in advance,
greetings hawkeye
out of curiosity what did you guys put in your UL, app wise?
My system backs up nightly and I soft reset after every backup. I believe this eliminates many issues with my system.
After 3 weeks of testing, I do not have lockups with this combination.

does anyone find that activating the htc home screen on start up cause problems? or better yet does anyone have any tabs that they activate on start up?
also having problems when using home customizer. it seems to freeze ultimatelaunch for some reason

All my tabs (just three), have activate on startup enabled.

Problem is that HHC check if HTC Home Plugin is enabled at startup.
Because it thinks it's not, it starts HHC. After making changes, it will try to copy changed file's to HTC Home directory. Because HTC Home is loaded into Ultimate Launch that will fail, and make Ultimate Launch crash!
Best for you to do is, disable Ultimate Launch on your today screen, start HHC and make changes to plugin, then after applying re-enable Ultimate Launch. (Uncheck HTC Home, it's auto enabled trough HHC.)
That should work for you.

When I was testing HTC Home with UL, that's the same thing I did.

edit: nice version thank you sir
edit2: I agree with everything you state in post 3.
ok, this one definitely feels good! quicker, feels more stable with certain websites that weren't as stable with the previous builds, and the animations seems much smoother. I still couldnt get f7 to work properly with youtube websites(kept freezing) But overall it seems of an upgrade!
I'm having the same issue I had with the last version posted and that is Opera will hang at the launch / splash screen and I can not kill the processes either, however I can still use the phone and launch other apps, but the splash screen stays on top. I have to soft reset to get back to normal.

its either the rom your using or its conflicting with another software.
So far this version seems like a definite improvement - the biggest being that I can now use the 'automatic full screen' option without it changing to full screen half way through typing an address on my Kaiser keyboard!
Haven't come across any bugs as yet.
initial testing shows:
- overall speed/feel increase
- addressbar doesn't auto-hide when typing w/ hardkeys in auto-minimize mode
bug: after closing out of opera in landscape mode, left my tilt in left-handed landscape mode. had to go to settings->system->display to bring it back into portrait mode.
Testing on June 29 ryncppr v6, 1.58.25.17 radio, hardspl 3.56
Bug: When using the hardware keyboard to fill in fields on a webpage, the field that is being typed in sometimes looses focus after each letter is selected on the keyboard. If the software keyboard is used, the problem does not occur.
With 8.65, i could copy the opera6 adr file that i have saved on my sd card and paste it into the opera folder to import my bookmarks after flashing, etc. This doesn't seem to work with opera 9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Build 1184 vs 1409
In Build 1184 when I pressed an internet link in an email Opera 9.5 would load the page not PIE. With build 140p, PIE loads the page and not Opera Mobile. I have looked in the settings etc and can not find a way to make Opera Mobile my "default browser" Is this possible? If so how?
i'm still getting the missing address bar when typing on the kaiser keyboard. im still using wm6. anyone else still has the problem?

I am using the Titan with windows mobile six and am also having this problem with opera mobile 9.5. Anybody with a fixed build?
Yup - my vario III on standard rom does this - I can only type one letter in from the keyboard before the focus is lost. Also it's not running as the default browser and there is no option to set this :-(
Looks lovely though....
Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1
Note: the above key is "colon and capital 'D' together" but the board makes it into a grin icon. lol
by default, it should be ":MSPIE", you can change it to the location of OperaL.exe, generally "\windows\operal.exe"
Bug: RSSHub is no longer able to open a link, it gives the error "file http://.... cannot be opened"
Fix: RSSHub seems to be connected to pocket ie. you will need to reset all registry references back to pocket ie and THEN apply the default browser registry hack. ( soft reset after all that )

Registry change worked like a champ. Opera Build 1409 now opens when I select a link in an email. Thanks a Bunch!!! Sorry I can't help with the RSSHub issue.
Dissapearing Address Bar
I am using WM 6.1 (one of Duttys hybrid ROMs) and still ahve the issue with the sddress bar dissapearing before I am finished typing.
I still believe it may be related to Opera not recognizing the pull out (hard) keyboard, or perhaps it is related to the Diamond XT9 keyboard in my ROM....
Any info. appreciated!

Michael

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....???????
help......??????????????

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

hi,
wanted to give it a try but the download failed 2 times in a row at 58%
will try later, hopefully it's just a time related issue and not a server related one
but anyway: thx a lot for your efforts
Edit: finally managed to successfully complete download
Thank you itje!!
Downloaded.. will be flashing in a moment. Stand by for bug reports (hoping there won't be any, though).
Connection setup not working for me. Tap the icon and nothing happened By the way this rom is really really really faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast
1. Phone hangs when trying to add location on weather tab. Hangs when you slide open the keyboard to type city name. Could be the switch to landscape causing it. Worked when using fingerkeyboard to type name after I reset the device.
2. Confirming that connection setup also doesn't work. Doesn't start automatically and can't be started from comm manager or windows settings.
3. Scrolling with finger in Total Commander doesn't work. Can only use scroll bars to scroll.
ROM seems very fast and responsive!
Dialer?
Does it have the original X1 dialer or any skinned?

+1, whereas the connection issue is the most important one
comm manager will load for me but it doesn't auto recognize my 3g settings nor does it let me change settings like my apn etc. besides that im loving it so far!
4. In some apps or settings pages, tapping 'ok' or 'x' in the top right corner doesn't close the page/app. Need to press the 'OK' hardware button.
5. Not a bug, but the battery only updates in 10% chunks. Can install a 1% driver for it.
Uploaded an updated rom with correct packages to work with connection setup. Should work fine now.
just use same dl link as before
This enables scrolling in in.ex total commander etc:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:00000000
This enables multiselect, but disables scrolling in system (total commander etc)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:00000001
Is this ROM only WWE?

Thank you! Will be flashing the new version once my battery level goes up a bit more. So far the connection setup bug is the only major one I have found. Very fast ROM and it looks great, too
[EDIT]Flashed! Connection setup works now. Very happy with it so far.[/EDIT]
this is a super rom. Had the same problem with connection setup. you said you upladed the new working one. the download ling sends you to another forum...there i found your image....) Perhaps i miss something...but that is the rom image with connection manager working. Also could you consider adding a fm radio application to it and perhaps remove some program like (total commander, google maps, jblend syncro time)
Anyway...thanks for all this is super
does anyone know how to get the original black and white icons back?
This ROM is now officially my favourite!
Something I noticed with most other 6.1 ROMs is that the music will often glitch while playing.. haven't noticed it at all with this ROM yet The volume slider works great (latest builds of 6.5 suck in this regard), weather animations are lovely, apps actually close when you exit them, etc... And then there is the speed. Awesome!
Thank you itje, beautiful ROM.

I've been doing custom ROM's for years. I just got a replacement Fuze because mine had the oily rectangle under the digitizer.
Totally stock 6.1 phone with ATT 5.11.00.00 ROM.
I said...."what the heck...I'll go see if the SPB Mobile Shell has improved"
Absolutely gorgeous. I disable TF3D and run the SPB MS 3.5 and it is pure SWEETNESS!
For anyone that is afraid to flash their phone...this is a great option!
For all you diehard ROMMERS you need to give this thing a look. SPB MS 3.5 is MUCH improved from version 3.
You may find out that there is no need to use a custom ROM when you see this in operation.
Very fast and very intuitive. You can master all the features in an hour or so.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And watch your battery drain faster then ever. I will admit it's a nice UI but it still has issues.

Does it drain faster because of the software...or because the GUI is so sweet that it makes you wanna play with the phone more?
Double Post.........delete me please.......
TF3D (Manila) is draining more battery than SPB MS 3.5.
Good thing I use Titanium then isn't it.......
SPB 3.5 and Windows mobile 6.5
Does anyone have experience using a cooked ROM 6.5 and SPB 3.5. I am doing the trial on SPB and it looks great

Yes, I'm using it with Timolol's ROM and it's working good. There are two issues however - I had to delete PositionFix shortcut from Windows/Startup in order to SPB MS display properly. Second problem is conflict between SPB MS and Rhodium dialer - if SPB MS is active, you cannot access call history and contacts from Rhodium dialer.
i used SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 until the trial period, might buy it but waiting if the fuze owners will get an official release of winmo 6.5.
I'm using SPB MobileShell 3.4 on SSK 2 ROM - works great
I haven't noticed battery drain running 3.5 on Scott Crosler's SSK from this may. Really love the new interface. Can't think of much they could change at this point being long time user of versions 2 and 3.
I really liked the 3.5.
I was using it on my WinMo 6.1 Touch Pro.
But there was a huge battery drain and every time I used the S2U locking program and Inesoft Calendar, I always got tskmgr.exe, calnot.exe, and replog.exe errors.
I gave up on it.
I may try again when there's an update, but probably not.
It would have been nice to have been able to keep it.

I wondered that myself, actually. Left the phone on my desk at 90%. Bluetooth off; wireless off; any email-pushing/pulling off. Within 30 minutes, it was at 50%. I hadn't even used it. Since I've removed it completely and using the stock HTC/Sprint thing, I'm back to being able to go all day, talking, pushing, pulling, bluetoothing, without having to charge the battery.
the new 3.5 is fabulous! Normal battery drain for me but I have been running shell for the past 3 versions. Maybe because I am using a clean (no HTC mods) and with Titanium turned off the drain is fairly low. Only 14% reduction in 9 hours of use.
Things they could add to the next version:
Ability to add more than one city to the weather app.
Slide Show option for the picture frame widget.
Skins, skins, skins...
My phone has been unplugged for nearly 24 hours. It's at 71%.
I am currently running NRG's 23016 ROM. TF3D is disabled.
The 23071 and later based 6.5 ROM's move the Start menu to the bottom. This conflicts with SPB MS 3.5's buttons on some pages. Anyone have a fix? Thanks!
I contacted SPB to see if they have a media player with album art in the works. I'll let you know the answer as soon as I get it.
samesies...

running into the same thing, hope that NRG continues with the 21864 ROMS cuz i love spb... you using mskip's mods as well? very essential...
also u may want to update that signature
FIXED!!!!!!!!
Use Total Commander or File Explorer and goto your \Windows\StartUp folder.
Do you have a link called "ShowcaseSuite.lnk" ?
You can click it from Total Commander and it will give a message that says "e-Natives Suite has been Terminated".
Go back to SPB MS 3.5 and BANG!!!! Da' ***** is gone. SWEET!!!
You can delete the link from your \Windows\StartUp folder and then it won't come back(It is cooked into NRG's ROM).
Now you can use the SPB launcher. Extra SWEET!!!!!!!
I have a problem with notifications when using SPB MS3.5
When a notification pops up, lie an alarm, or new SMS, the notification popup itself is hidden, and the only way to display it is clicking on the top bar, selecting the notification icon and then it's displayed, along with the softkeys.
Anyone has a solution for this? I want the notifications to be displayed on top of the MS3.5 window...
Thanks!
MS3.5 works well with WM6.5.1

I have used MS3.5 with RRE ROMS, Exquisite 3.5 and Timolol 23081. Works just fine.

The overlay of the WM6.5 taskbar on MS3.5 is probably because a version of Showcase by amarullz is installed or burned into your ROM. Deleting startup links to either PositionFix.lnk or ShowcaseSuite.lnk to terminate Showcase is a drastic measure...but I used to do it as well until I discovered the following:
If you want to prevent the WM6.5 taskbar from overlaying the MS3.5 home screen, try the following registry edit (depending upon which version of Showcase is burned into your ROM).
Look for the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\e-Natives Technology.
If you have a folder named WM65xFix, you have an early version of Showcase_X. Open the folder...you should have a key called "WindowClasses" that has "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS" as the text value. DELETE the text "Manila;" (and add "RESCO_REGISTRY_CLASS" separted by a semi-colon if you use Resco Registry Editor). Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay problem.
If you have a folder named Showcase you have the latest version called "ShowcaseSuite". Open the folder...you should have a key called "SUITE_PositionFix_WinClasses" that has a text value of "Manila;RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS". Delete the text "Manila" and the semi-colon. (Add the value for Resco Registry Editor as above if you use the program) Soft Reset. This should take care of the overlay! NOTE: If you want the "X" icon to CLOSE the program rather than minimize, change the dword value of the key "SUITE_CloseOnTap" to the value of number 1.
Finally, if you have the older version of Showcase_X burned into your ROM and want to upgrade to ShowcaseSuite, terminate Showcase_X as described by nimrocket. Reboot. Use Remove Programs (if you can) to uninstall e-Natives Showcase. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.
If you don't see Showcase in your uninstall list, again terminate by removing PositionFix.lnk from your startup folder. Reboot. Re-Install Showcase_X available from here (same as link above). Use Remove Programs to uninstall. Reboot. Install ShowcaseSuite. Make registry edits.
HTH!!!
[edit] Added two .cab files as attachments. If you aren't comfortable making registry edits, use ONE of the attached .cab files depending upon which version of Showcase you have installed.
Use the WM65xFix.cab if you have the older Showcase_X installed. Use Showcase.cab if you have ShowcaseSuite installed. [/edit]
Thanks for the registry info.
Personally I couldn't see why I would want another task manager running at all when SPB has a very nice one built in that is every bit as finger friendly as Showcases.
Deleting the Showcase link doesn't cause any grief and is much easier if you don't plan on using the redundant Showcase tools. But if you want Showcase then the regedit may be for you.

You are right...and Showcase is not without a few issues (that don't affect you when you use MS3.5 and the 3D email viewer) I use Showcase because I also use Resco programs. WM6.5.1 changes the layout of the screen because of the "thinner" top bar. This causes programs such as Resco File Explorer to not display properly. I also like ShowcaseSuite because I can use it to make the "X" button terminate programs rather than minimize...so far it's the only WM6.5 tool I know that can accomplish this, but hopefully others will be developed now that WM6.5 is official!
