Recently, I downloaded the latest htc wwe rom for my T-mobile US branded Touch Pro 2. I liked it, but it seemed like there was a lot of crap that just didn't need to be there. So I decided to create my own rom.
This is a solid, STABLE rom, but it's version 1, revision 1. I'll be making changes to this, but so far, it's off to a good start.
To start with:
HTC's latest shipped rom
removed co-pilot gps(choose your own)
removed radio(available as a cab)
removed audio booster(wired headphones what?)
removed facebook app(available as a cab)
removed google maps(available as a cab)
removed windows live(available as a cab)
removed msn messenger(available as a cab)
removed 'getting started'(who needs this?)
removed adobe reader(available as a cab)
removed jetcet presenter(I'll never use it, probably available as a cab)
removed jblend(waste of space for me)
MMS send and receive limits have been set for T-mobile US(no more small pictures)
NOTE: You'll have to manually set the T-mobile MMS Server to http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (like I said, this is my first revision, this will be set automatically soon)
After a day of use, I idle around 60% memory usage, which isn't too bad. In future revisions, I'll be looking to reduce that number. However, if you disable manila and use the default WM home screen, that drops to about 45%
ROM FTP Link
The username is xda and there's no password.
Instructions are the same for any rom, just make sure you have an activesync connection, and run the rom update utility.
This is my first foray into the rom cooking world. If you like my work, and would like to show your support, consider donating.

Ha! Way to steal my 2nd post! Anyways, I'm working on setting up a download profile on my ftp server for xda users. I should have it done by 1pm eastern time. (that's in my first post, by the way) ;-)
Just to be clear this is based upon the unbranded WWE and you are customizing it for the US TMo or did you somehow get access to the US TMo 6.5 image that has yet to be released?
S
This is the unbranded htc rom. I wouldn't want the t-mobile rom anyways...to much junk in it.

Are you sure you're doing it right? There's a file called SGM10R1.zip in there. I tested it from different locations, it'd definitely there.
Try this: go to internet explorer and paste ftp://[email protected]
You should see the file then. Remember, if it asks for a password, leave it blank and just click ok.
EDIT: My mistake, I forgot to increase the amount of concurrent users on my server, it's usually set at 4. Lol. It should work fine now.
Yup its visible now... When u gonna be dropping v2? Also I believe his question about the kitchen was would u post the one your using.

Probably by the end of the weekend. I have a few tweaks to drop memory usage that I want to put in there, and the facebook sync in contacts isn't working because apparently I removed it by accident. So hopefully sometime before sunday. I'll update the main post when it happens though.
Thanks for the ROM~
Do we need to hard SPL unlock before flashing?

hey nice rom it works great on tmo tp2 i love it but when i hit the call button and then hit the contacts tab it doesnt go to contacts it stays in the same screen and also does the 3g work on this rom or do i have to set the settings or something

I'm glad you enjoy it. The second revision is basically the same as the first, with some speed enhancements. I JUST found that issue tonight. Apparently when manilla is running it takes over certain aspects of the os, like contacts and calendar. It'll do the same thing if you press 'all people' in the 'people' tab. I'm not sure why, because I didn't mess with any of the contact stuff. I'll keep you posted though.
also i forgot to mention that the gps is not working when i try to use google maps and the my location either. i dont know if its turned off.

I haven't experienced this problem. As a matter of fact, I was using tomtom the other night to get myself to a friend's wedding. If this is your first time using the gps after you flashed, run quick gps and then open google maps and make sure 'use gps' is selected. Then just leave it on the window sill for a few minutes(making sure it isn't sleeping). The first gps fix can take a few, even with quick gps.
Though, I will say the touch pro 2 is very slow to get a gps fix in general. My tilt was faster. :-/
ok I'm doing that as I type this to you. so you telling me that your my location works fine on your home screen. and also my alt key doesn't work on the keyboard
Yes. My location is 100 percent functional. The only reason I can see that it wouldn't work is if it can't find your actual location...but I'm not even sure that's possible, as it uses a different database for that. Does it not show up at all, or does it show 'my location', and then the weather data?
nope nothing still i did the quick gps and then left it on google maps for about 8min now and still searching for satelite at times it says updating location but then quickly goes back to searching for satelite

Okay. I completed the following steps on my new Cingular 8125
1. Used Loki .2b to do CID and unlock - Don;t have another SIM to test but seemed to work
2. INstalled Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST
3. Installed the 2.25 radio from kypher (sp) update.
Everything seems to work great and response times seem stellar so far but I do have a few questions...
A. When I go into Remove programs I see the following programs
FdcSoft PPC ContactsMgr
ammar Wireless Today Plugin
Summ Summ
What are these, what are they for and can they be deleted since I don't seem to find matching entries in programs for them?
B. Under Programs there are three called Clock200 240 and 252. I am guessing these are overclockers but clicking on them does not seem to do anything. How do these work?
C. Should I delete the cab file I x-fered over for the Loki unlock?
D. While some of the sound files that came on the ROM are cool, I would like to get rid of most of them. How do I do this?
General questions
Is there a profiles setting where for example I can choose a sleep profile so that the phone rings but e-mails don't do anything or is this a 3rd party app deal?
Has anyone ever had issues with having two different IP addresses for your exchange server? It seems that when I put in the IP address into Active Sync that I use to get Outlook Web my phone connects fine when out and around but when using USB errors out. If I put in the exchange server name my IT guy gave me I get the opposite. He is kind of helpless and clueless so any help here owuld be greatly appreciated.
I can help a little, The wireless today plugin is the one that appears on the today screen showing wifi on off and bluetooth on and off. The clocks are overclockers and they dont show anything happening but it does overclock your phone. Sorry I can answer the rest but hopefully what I have said helps some.
Hey every bit helps, thanks!

FdcSoft PPC ContactMgr is a replacement on the contacts of the phone - less buggy than the stock one, and no - don't remove it.
Summ Summ - is the alternative task manager that you see in programs. If you wish, delete that one. Personally I like it, because when you close it, it actually closes.

They are overclockers, and yes they do work, but generally there's an omap that you run in conjunction with other programs. There's an omap.exe file that you can re-do on shortcuts that will have a manual clock setting on simply just the program itself, but I'd find the thread that discusses omap overclocking.

Not sure you can delete some of them, because they're taking up ROM space, but not other memory. Check windows\ringers and see if they're in there and deletable.

Can't really say I can help with this one, but from my experience with the phone, there's nothing in it that has different profiles other than just ring, vibrate, and sleep. Try looking for some third party aps.

THanks a bunch Brian....
I have noticed a few things.. I seem to be getting the error where the time zone drifts. In my case it tries to put me in Indiana. Was there an easy/common fix for this.
Also, it seems to not hold a wifi signal very well anymore. Is this the problem you were experiencing. I installed Wififofum2 but did not get much time to play with it, but in the time I did could not get it to pick up a network at all.
I'm having wifi issues as well with a belkin pre-n, and my srx router doesn't hold its session and ip info.
The fix has been that summiter release a test2 rom, which I'm about to flash my unit with. There is also discussion of trying to get a seperate thread on radio roms which i believe deals with wifi as well, and you don't have to re-flash your entire os just to get a new radio rom.
Also, here are the images you may be interested in:

no problem man. as I type this message from the fresh test2 rom that summiter updated the gsm radio with, I'm finding that it is staying connected to my srx, and on the middle performance setting. what I am also noticing is my reception here in my room, dear god, I use to get to bars being lucky, but now man, jesus, full bars, its amazing. I do notice the reception does jump up and down a lot more but that's fine with me. overall the radio version in test2 seems to rock my sox. we'll see if it holds out for this really long post.
well scratch that on the wifi problem, had to reconnect to my router again... ugh, but better reception for cellular!

I will have to disagree with that. The PPCContactMgr caused scrolling problems with my contacts, and I wasn't the only one this happened to. For example, if you hold down the D-Pad in while in contacts, it scrolls the the alphabet in very large letters allowing you to stop easily at a certain letter. This program screwed that up for me. It worked OK if I just scrolled through a few letters, like to "D", but if I scrolled all the way to "T" for example, then selected a name, it would throw me back at a random name much earlier in the list.
Removing this program fixed the problem.
The only thing this program really gives you is the ability to "select all contacts", if you wanted to delete them. It's not worth the problems. I'd remove it.
Just found this new application, seems to do the same that WIMP does
and more.
I haven't tried it yet, but looks promising:
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs.html
Of course, for maximum security it would need to be cooked into the ROM.
That seems to be made for kaiser. I just wonder how it can be removed from the device if desired?

I haven't tried it yet, but you probably just go run an EXE in the program folder and enter an unlock code and it uninstalls.

Correct, you re-run the installation file and it gives you the choice of install / repair / remove.
I've tried it and it seems to be great.
There are two additional plug-ins:
GPS ~ For texting the GPS co-ordinates of your phone.
Monitor ~ Sending out details of the incoming calls to the new sim.
It automatically adds your own sim and you can add a list of numbers you want notified if someone installs a non-approved sim (you can authorise other sims).
The whole lot is password protected, and providing you don't keep the install cab on the phone / SD card, it cannot be uninstalled.
I added my works phone to the notifier list and the 'test' function worked without giving me a sent text notification.
Overall, well worth the money.
IMHO
PS. I also read that OS of WM5 and above protect the program if hard reset ... but I can't confirm this as I wasn't going to HR to find out.
Some time ago the master app was being given for free on this very forum. Those that succeeded in being in the first 5 or so hundred got their copies, myself included.
I also went and purchased the 2 add-ons once I tested the app and fallen in love with it
Even if you leave the .cab on your device you cannot uninstall without the admin password, so never fear.
HOWEVER, in order for the app to survive a HR it really needs to be cooked right into your ROM, or, failing that, you have to do some UC-based magic so it re-installs itself after the HR (and re-customizes itself - otherwise what's the point? - but this calls for provisioning etc.). You can go to its forum section to see how best to proceed about it. Me, I have "just installed" it, without any anti-HR measures. For the time being (fingers crossed!).
Ah yes, for boxes other than Kaiser you can also use the ExtROM...
I am currently somewhat excited by RemoteTracker...

Well If you enterd this thread, You probley figured out that we have a 6.1 T-mobile edition rom thanks to ND4SPD. How ever at the moment it is limited to a small group to test. At the same time I hate using the PM system when multiple ppl are testing anything. So I made a thread were WE (the TESTERS) can discuss and post fixes for this rom so we can get it released to you (THE PUBLIC) soon. I ask please, PLEASE, Do Not Post in this thread UNLESS you actually recieved the test rom from nd4spd. When a nonsence post is posted it makes it harder for us to concentrate on working on the rom when we are answering your questions.
#1 Question to be posted in this thread is...
Q. WHEN IS THIS ROM GONNA BE OUT ????????
A. AFTER WE FIX BUGS AND ND4SPD FEELS ITS READY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
##############################
On to the post.
What I have found so far..
1. HOME Messages Tab crashes NEO when enabled.
Installing my cab of 4.0 Arcsoft mms did not help this problem.
2. HOME My Faves App does not work, but My Faves settings will run.
I have not tryed to fix this.
3. HOME Notification Tab does not open the text its notifing you of nor does it dismiss the text by pressing dismiss
I have not tried to fix this
4. HOME Wap Shortcuts cannot find winwap or one of its components.
I think adding regisrty values for clinks instead of using the guid will fix this.
5. HOME Settings tab doesnt include battery display
Figured out why but dont have a fix. Im missing HKCR
6. Start Menu Recent Programs includes 2 shortcuts that do not work (Instant Messaging.lnk and Task Manager)
In conveinence untill you open 9 programs to get these off recent programs. These programs work when using the shortcuts in "all programs"
7. PIE Favorites & History when clicked open file explorer. instead of drop down menu.
I havnt looked into this. How ever ive had the problem before and its usually the html file being used.
8. WAP BROWSER says my homepage is unavalible (but the default t-mobile rom told me this as well)
I dont know if this is just my phone, Feedback needed.
9. UNLOCK SCREEN still does not show clock and date when set to
Seems like we are going to have alot of fun with this one.
10. HOME Getting Started is not displayed.
Simple menu added to the registry for neo will fix this.
11. PHONE Can not initiate call by dialing number and hitting send key. (have to hit center button on D-Pad)
I have no clue were to start looking on this one.
12. MMS Does not work
SMS Works fine.
--
I have not tested WIFI or BLUETOOTH
ND4SPD said neo is looking for arcsoft 4 but arcsoft 5 is on this rom wich is why the message tab isnt on the neo homescreen.

The battery in the settings tab is not showing up due to the ID in the registry {634CA962-22D8-4671-BBC7-BAC47148A4B6}, When its switched to the wifi ID wifi status shows up on line 2 but the battery is displayed in the settings tab and opens power.exe when clicked. But when switched back to {634CA962-22D8-4671-BBC7-BAC47148A4B6} the battery display dissapears.

The html coding is causing the favorites and history drop downs from displaying correctly. This reg edit will fix this issue simply by using the default windows mobile homepage. wich is the same page but not skinned by t-mobile
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
"version_0409"="[URL="file://windows//default_0409.htm"]file://\\windows\\default_0409.htm[/URL]"

shadowmike one of the biggest problems I am having is it locks up on the home page and did you nodes win going in to
internet explorer and hitting favorites or history it brings you to the windows folder
I think there are two ways of solving the problems:
The Easy Way:
Just use the wm6 OEM files and use all wm6.1 SYS files except CHome and ConfettiCore
This will get a working rom quickly but the problems we have now will still be there if we try making separate organized packages for each software.
The Hard Way:
Fix all these bugs one by one until assured to work and only then post a public rom. This means that the rom will take a longer time to release.
I prefer the hard way, but am open to the easy solution. What do you guys think.
btw, thanks shadowmike for making this thread. PM'ing was pretty tedious

Explain lockup ? as in freeze. And how do you get it to freeze ? Are you switching home screens and when you try to get to homescreen you cant ? what apps are you running on the rom ?
and #7
it just freezes by scrolling down it .well as there is so many bugs I am running no apps and by lockup I mean the home screen freezes so you can't scroll it but you can go to start and to other app but the home screen stays locked till reboot are you having the same problem if not I will try to redownload it and reinstall it... nd4spd did you work the bugs out of the new way of installing from the T-Mobile rom if so I will give it a go and I would like to see a stabile T-Mobile wm6.1 rom with out neo first thin work on this but you are the cook not to say I would use it I like the clean wm6.1 I have......i would like to see UC (user customizable) 2.0 Capable in the clean rom

I have not had your "Freeze", however since the shadow is underpowered. when i switch homescreens if i dont hit end call or the home button before it starts to load the homescreen i have to restart. however this also happend in the official t-mobile rom.
Small bug I noticed is when you set your calendar view to default to month (say), it still only opens to agenda view.
Not quite sure what received from nd4spd means but with a few hacks this is a great rom.

It means he pm'ed a few ppl a link to a new 6.1 t-mobile NEO homescreen rom.
From what he told me it was not publicly released... so if he did not send you the link to this rom and you have it. somone leaked it... thats what it means. basicly. I dont want ppl that dont have this test rom to come in this thread and ask questions and make this thread 10 pages.
How is the process going Guys.
well i decided to come back and work on this again.
im currently installing the rom. simply because i want to use the portrait camera. and since it works flawlessly in this version. yeah.
Yea Mike, what I been wanting is the original T-Mobile screen back.
Hi,
just to keep you posted and give you all hope: I have managed to get the gps working under snapvue.
Right now, I also have a liberated stock rom WWE.
I'm trying to add gps to it. For now, what I have:
GPS can be added on any snapvue rom and started manually.
I'll post later the how to. I want first to try to integrate this in a final rom.
Read on for updates. It won't take month before I post something
I cannot post now, because I still have some strange locks up that I want to investigate.
EDIT: For now I can provide this. I need testers to confirm all necessary key are there.
Instruction:
Get the attached zip file at post #6 below. Unzip. Copy to the snapvue side (liberated of course)
Install the cab, and the two reg files. You need a registry editor like resco explorer to import reg key.
soft reset snapvue (you can use task manager for this, or vista. Just make sure you use a software, or you wait 5 minutes after reg import if you remove battery)
Run Task Manager, go to device tab
Start TAI1 device then GPD0 device
Test with HTCGPStest. Click on open and see if you got data.
If somebody has a full version of wincecabmanager, he can make a cab with the registry included and post here.
Please report if it works (the install of course, I know GPS work)
EXCELLENT news - can't wait!
congratulation!!
nice!
can you make a big storage version of your final rom?
cheers,
Great News thanx ,,,,waiting
Finally
Gtear job!!!!!
Here is the file (read first post):
another step in snapvue
so finally the gpsid_qct.dll is aviable on xda of course
will install it at noon, and test it via googlemap.
thx very much !!!
Well done! we shall get there...eventually,
Meanwhile, so as not to duplicate the hard efforts guys have put in, do we know if Cmonex is still coming up with something on the project?
I'm fully synchronised with cmonex, dont worry

i m not sure if being synchronised with cmonex is a good thing.
she 's potentially the best person to make the shift project, as she is one of the most experimented person in the windows ce communoty
i m sure she wants to make something really amazing and not just snapvue fullscreen sd gps blabla...
she look too much after perfection, so we wont see anything
before a long time. (plus she work on too many project ..ppc..umpc..ce.net hpc...)
Don't worry too much about this. We already had this discussion.
Great work
Install without problems, it works (dont forget to restart after cab and reg)
I see data on HTCGPSTool and i have installed googlemaps and it seems to work
very very nice
Great job any many thx
Have installed as described into german rom, WIMO needs a reset after importing the reg files because GPD0 wasn't on the device list. After starting devices manually, everything is running well.
Now we need a small program to start/stop this both devices for switching GPS on/off and that's it.....
That's easy, but somebody has to do it. Also, adding the reg to the cab using a full version of wince cab manager would be nice.
Also, you need to turn this on only after soft reset. GPS on/off is done by program (htcgpstool for example or google map)

I've created REG to CAB conversion with CEregedit... give a try... seems that it works well on my shift...
I also have a cab of the original GPS shift.cab provided by thaihugo with reg included, but it does not work... dunno why... maybe, I missed something in the first step of the conversion... From .cab to .reg...
Right now, I also have a liberated stock rom WWE
@ThaiHugo
Can you explain a little more about the stock liberated WWE ROM ?
Is it liberated by default, from HTC themselves, or is it a cooked stock ROM, that is modified to be liberated..
please your comments

I see data on HTCGPSTool and i have installed googlemaps and it seems to work

Appears to be working, i get lots of data in GPS Tool, but no satellite lock, Google Maps also gets no lock, just gives my rough location from the nearest mobile phone antenna.
Edit - looks a lot like junk data, it's the same data repeated over and over.
Got locks myself, so it might be where you're located, but I've seen a case where the gps has junk data in it. This should be explored, but it's definitly locking, even if we need to fine tune it.
About the rom, it would be a cooked rom from snapvue, as soon as I manage to get the sound working in my roms. Seems to mess up pretty quickly.
What you call junk data is the gps giving you the sat it actually tries to download from. It repat over and over until it can get it ephemeris, which could be shorted by a agps download.
I'm sorry...
what task manager -> device tab are you talking about?
Task manager is a new program icon. Device is one of the menu option of this prog.
This Right Here Is Revolutionary!!
Have you ever been out and about, and checked your task manager and saw that Activesync has started up randomly, and is running in the background sucking down your battery?
Then this is just the program that you need!
ASKicker is just a few different simple scripts that I molded together.
What does this do?
Well basically this program scans a registry location on your phone that tells your phone whether you have a USB cable plugged in or not.
Based off of that information, if you do not have the USB cable plugged in, then the script will close out of ActiveSync everytime it runs. When you plug in the USB cable (Or place the phone on a dock), ASKicker will then open ActiveSync and wait for you to unplug the phone from the USB cable so it can kill ActiveSync from running.
This should not affect push mail. I do not have nor use push mail, so everyone that uses it, please give me feedback if it does affect it. But according to everything I've read online about Activesync and push mail, ASKicker shouldn't bother it at all. Infact, that's part of the main reasons why I've created this solution.
What are the requirements?
Only two things are needed:
First and foremost you'll need this registry location:
HKLM\Software\OEM\USB
"Cable_In" "0"=No "1"=Yes
(My Vogue and TouchPro Have This,
So I'm Sure Most Of PPCs Have This!)
Secondly you'll need Mortscript.
You can get a copy of this
and the manual and a few examples
at the Download Link in my FAQ(Link In Signature).
Tested On:
* Touch Pro (CDMA) - Working
* Vogue (CDMA) - WorkingNotes:
This Is Still In Beta!
There are two shortcuts that are created in the start menu.
The first one is "ASKicker"
This shortcut will either start the script, or if it is already running, it will ask if you want to end the script.
The second one is "ASKicker Settings".
With this shortcut, you will be able to choose a few different things. There is an option to open the Instructions and ReadMe documents. You're also able to turn on and off the AutoOn at StartUp option(Default On). Aswell you're able to choose the amount of time that the script waits to run again, you're able to choose from either 5,10,15,20,25,and 30 seconds (Default 15).
**Please keep in mind the higher the amount of time,**
**the longer that ActiveSync could be open before the script runs again,**
**and also the longer that it could take for ActiveSync**
**to start up when you plug it into the USB.**
This is VERY light weight.
The biggest part about this program is the Instructions and ReadMe Word Documents and the Icon Dll.
Coming Soon:
Custom user input for the amount of seconds the script waits to run again.
(Currently only have a choice from the presets).
App-To-Date Support.
Better User Interface coming later.
Rapidshare Download Mirror.
PPCGeeks Thread!
This Program has been completely reworked.
If you have any problems what-so-ever, let me know ASAP!
Reserved.
(Just because everyone else does it.)
I will be keeping a to list at both PPCGeeks and XDA-Developers with the different requests.
Can't guarantee I will incorporate them, but will try my best to when I have the time.
Possible To Do List For Next Version(s):
What's listed in post #3.
Hey man -
Any chance you can make this into something which runs Activesync once a day or something? A lot of folks here use AS for Google Calendar, and it makes no sense to sync every 3-4 hours (which is the max allowed) when all we want is once in the morning or something. The rest of the day AS just sits there and eats our batteries.
And maybe have the functionality of syncing using GPRS and not strictly USB.
THANKS though - was really looking forward to some AS tweaks.
I don't have GPRS so I'm kind of screwed on that part.
(I have a cdma phone.)
but I can try and see if I can figure out the stuff needed for that through the internet.
Also, I think I have an idea on how to do that first part (the once a day)
when would be the best times for everyone? like midnight, one am? etc.
(I'll eventually make more times once I get the hang of it!)
fixed the initial problem. forgot to replace a file with a newer version.
woops.
Can you describe the problem this application is solving?

Do you ever look at your task manager and find that activesync start running out of no where, then this is what you need.
I'm not sure if this is more towards CDMA version of phones,
but there has been tons of posts and threads started because of this and they wanted a way to stop that from happening, well that's what this does.
it's a SMALL script that runs and stops it from hogging up your memory or wearing down your battery.
All of the fixes for this problem have eliminated push email from working,
or eliminates activesync from working on the phone period(even when connected to computer). etc.

How about 24 hours from the last time it's launched (automatic or manually)? If that's too much of a hassle, midnight is just fine.
FYI-
The way I do this right now is to choose sync every 4 hours for peak and manually for non-peak and set the peak-time as 12-1AM.
The problem still is that the rest of the day - it's eating eating eating ... battery.
For me, to get rid of ActiveSync always starting, it was enough to remove all of Notifications (with Dotfred's Task Manager) except the one for RNDIS, and setting following registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\KeepAlive to 0.
Cody which version should be used on a sprint touch. I downloaded them all, but not sure which one to install on the phone.

Interesting,
does this affect your push email?

All versions can be used.
The vXXS at the end of the names mean v=version
XX-the amount of time it waits to loop the script again.
S=seconds.
so if you want it to check every ten seconds get the v10s,
every twenty seconds get v20s,
and so on.
Battery consumption with AS

There is some debate about how much resources AS uses when running in the background. Some say practically none. It just seems reasonable that ANY program (including ASKicker) will consume SOME resources (memory/battery).
I did some tests on my Tilt using the Battery Guard program to measure the battery drain at any particular time.
According to those measurements, AS appears to be consuming about 20mA of battery during its idle time. Your mileage may vary. See the full results here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4078369#post4078369

But then you wouldn't have meeting reminders, nor automatic updates say to your weather software, rss news, etc, right?
I would really like to get this working on my tilt.
I use codyppc personalizer which I believe uses Mortscript too.
After I installed askicker and it didnt appear to be working, I installed mortscript 4.3b2. Now (in advanced task manager) I show two processes of Mortscript.exe running, one in \program files\mortscript and one in \program files\personalizer. Is there a conflict here?
Active sync is still running. Does Mortscript have to be installed in a specific place for this to work?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't then.
It screwed mine all up when I did what he did.

I just replied to your message with this same exact thing.
I forgot about this thread.
I have been REALLY busy lately,
and hurt my back at work,
so I've been out of commision on here for a while.
I plan to have it finished and fixed by friday/saturday.
But it might be delayed depending on my website I have to get finished ASAP,
and I've already been put a day behind schedule with the website after I came up with the friday/saturday deadline.
So only time will tell.
Sorry it's taken so long people.
This was in hardcore beta stage when I initially released,
and had a BIG problem with my cab program and computer,
and it's just been one thing after another. haha.
so yeah, this will be done friday/saturday hopefully.
cant wait till this is fixed so I can use it on my TouchPro and Titan!!!
Active Sync Master
i couldnt sleep all night trying to figure this out. THANX ALOT!!
I thought no one wanted it, but I have been messing with a UI for it,
that way you'll be able to specify the amount of seconds between each time it runs, and a few other things and will be able to update with future components that I am working on myself.
I have about another week of summer left, so hopefully I can get my website I've been working of FOREVER(I've been going wakeboarding and going out too much). but I want to fix this sometime this week!!
Just thought I'd update you all!
Sorry I've been MIA from alot of my forums lately.
Bump!!!
This is new!!
Just got finished!!
Read all of post one before commenting please!!
Cool, thanks cody, was wondering what happen to u. Are u still making a custom rom for the vogue too, or have u been too busy.
NM on the vogue rom. I see where u don't have a vogue anymore.
