Hi,
As promished, the french version of my rom. Cab install is working, and opera is removed on popular demand. Got usbtools, and taskmanager, even if the icon is not here now. Exe is in windows folder.
This one also has d3d software dll linked.

yes
again a big thanks to you
sorry for havent seen it before
thanks
too early? but thxs !
great!! thank you very much for the time and work you spend for the shift communoty!
i m very happy to flash this rom cause french is my native linguage, and it gives to me more compatiblity with french software.
maybe its to early to cook french rom, because htc shift is not easy to finf in french shops... orange is selling it with origami data plans, but its not very popular , finally the best way to get it is to make special order, or to by it from internet .
you should focus your time on english rom, and maybe spanish as its seconf or third language used in the world
Anyway thank you very much fr this rom !!!
by the way i love opera but there are so many release and a few are working well on the htc shift
c u,
The one I have included in rom works pretty well. I might release it also infrench (my native language too )
any progress on phone feature?

I compared the registry files of both Tilt and Shift (I don't have Diamond or Ralpheal) and found some interesting differences in the case of BT, WiFi and SD card. I am going to publish those here in a few hours.
I have not seen much differences in the phone area (registry settings) except missing settings for phone and relevant skin settings under Machine and Current User.
thanks

Problem is not to find registry settings. These are pretty easy to add. This registry can be usefull anyway, but the main problem is that the bios is locking the SD and BT for vista, and even with the right drivers, they will not be activated on WM side. One think that would improve the dev here is to find how this mecanic works.
As for the phone, using a full phone dll and registry doesn't help, as it seems the dll provided with the shift are voice disabled, and using new depend on the radio.

Regarding BT, WiFi and SD that is what I guessed. Since they are shared, only one of them would work at a given time with the given architecture. Regarding phone, my guess also coincides with you. I think we need to have a different radio, but I may be wrong too.

Finger's crossed, the RIL client (celltsp.dll) is same as the one you will find in Kaiser. The RIL proxy, RIL Client etc. are same you will find in Kaiser, only question left for now is whether the Radio i.e. underlying supports voice calls or not.
Thanks

Nice rom thks.
But so bad that the keyboard become an qwerty.
With registry it's fine but you may include it in your update...
BTW, very nice rom. No problem.
Hello
I don't like to act like a noob (especially in the HTC world in which I had a lot of phones without any real problems...), but here I can't make it...
I put the ROM, perfect. But here the things I can't understand :
- can't open the sound from the today view
- usbtool (I really had hard time to find the soft!!!), I can't do nothing with it, there is a sentence "Please plug in cable firest" and I tried "USB_cable_in" but nothing happened... So I can't connect to Vista... Where am I wrong?
I think I can manage the others things, like buttons, qwerty, ... but for the usbtool thing I am really lost... so I use "Internet share" when it is working...
Windows 7 Pre-Beta on EEE PC 1000H
Reading the above linked article, it seems to me that if all the Vista drivers for the Shift work with Windows 7, it might be the ideal replacement for Vista on the Shift.
The article mentions that on the EEE less than half the available RAM is consumed by the OS, which would be a massive improvement on Vista.
I was wondering if anyone here had access to the pre-Beta and was prepared to take the plunge and install it on their Shift. I'm sure I'll get a copy sooner or later via my Technet subscription, but since this is a pre-Beta, I'll probably have to wait for the first fully fledged beta copy.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Rob, if i am not wrong, you guys have an HTC shift. I’ll be grateful if someone could shed some shed light on whether HTC shift would support Windows 7 and will there be speed improvements by using Windows 7 on it instead of Vista?
It’s important for me to know at this stage because i need to decide whether to persist with HTC shift for long or not. I hate to part with the Shift as upto date it’s the best device with features which no other device has been able to replace till now … though their implementation is a bit floppy and Vista is a real resourse hog so far forcing me turn off aero all together and opt for basic ME, 97 like theme to make it work fine!
Sorry for the trouble but ur reply will be really helpful in giving the Shift a bright future!
Thanks in advance!

Windows 7 on shift
I'm downloading Windows 7 build 6801 now and will try to install it tonight.
Will post back later to let you know if the drivers work and the performance is better. I read an article somewhere on microsoft.com stating that in most cases Vista drivers will also work on windows 7. However, this was not the case on my desktop computer. The article also stated that windows 7 requires less ram than vista and will therefore run better on systems with only 1gb ram.
will look forward to your results eagerly ...
hi thanks for ur efforts ... i will eagerly look forward to ur results ...
and.... is it works? ;-)
i just tried to install it, but i get an error message, complaining about a missing install.wim.
i dont think thats supposed to be...so i have to keep at it and see what causes this. (make sure you burn the ISO using NERO.)
Ok, after a second try, Windows 7 is finally on my SHIFT.
wow, looks great. how is 7 running on the shift comparing with vista.
any more good news with 7 over vista? like, screen rotation? lol
once you played around with it a but more, let us know more about it! i'm sure we're all waiting to see if there are any good surprises.
wow .. plz post ur experience with windows 7 on shift

Hi plz post your experience regarding how responsive is shift after installing windows 7 ...
I can see from screen shots that approx 500mb memory is free and that looks good ...
Any change is startup time? do u feel windows 7 less taxing than vista as far as windows graphics load is concerned?
And did all the existing drivers & programs work?
Sorry for the long list ... but i am too excited at the proposition of Shift actually turning out to be a faster device with windows 7
UPDATE: Windows 7 runs really well...even for a Pre BETA...i havent tested the stability much yet, but I can safely say, its much better than
Vista.
Even beats my Ubuntu in speed.
However, there are some small problems I have to fix first.
If you want to install Win 7, make sure to enable all devices (WIFI, BT) in your existing Vista first. Otherwise you might have some trouble enabling them until we figure out Control Center.
Almost all drivers run well, some have to be forced by using VISTA RTM
compatibility mode. But they will install fine.
Exception is, the Intel VGA driver wont install. But the default driver is already very good and newer.
Also, the Control Center for the EC doesnt work. It installs, but the shagctrl.exe crashes upon start. I have to see what goes on with that.
About the touchscreen. It was a little tricky at first and I needed to reinstall Windows 7. But if you install the EC driver first, before any other
driver, you can get it to work. The touchscreen responds perfect and the default calibration is also perfect. (better and more accurate than Vista)
Windows 7 itself seems like a good approach to a new OS. Its very simple and speedy and features a new taskbar, I would call it Quickbar...it has some jumplists where you can pin programs and folders. Its ok, but maybe better on big screens. Nice are the icon previews of your stuff launched in the taskbar...i will see that i get some screenshots going.
Also new is Internet Explorer 8, featuring site suggestions according to your surf behaviour. It also checks your downloads for threads while downloading.
Windows Media Player is 12.
Finally, i get about 110min battery life with default power settings, Wifi and Bluetooth enabled.
Does anyone have the original HTC driver and application set?
(not the one from the website, the one which comes with the Shift)
I want to try the older Control Center, but I am too lazy to extract the install.wim...
I got about the same results as aquasesh. Drivers installed ok except control center and touch screen. Windows 7 feels faster than Vista.
Let me know if you fint a solution to the control center and touch screen issues

Touchscreen is fixed. Just install the Embedded Controller driver first, right after the installation. After that I installed fingerprint, chipset and
finally touchscreen.
I am about to test AVI performance. And after I will try to fix the Control Center.
Thanks mate
I really appreciate your work...
Thanks a ton for testing Windows 7 on Shift ...
Thanks a ton for testing Windows 7 on Shift ...
I am very eagerly following your feedback on the windows 7 experience as it was always my personal feeling that the culprit behind shift's slow response is vista ...
I will download windows 7 soon and will give it a try ...
Look forward to reading your's and other's experiences and refining my install when i take the plunge ...

Not yet, the main problem is that the tool to switch the resolution, relies on the control center to work.
So far, I have not been able to get this working and i havent found the problem either.
I want to try the shipping version of the control center, but i have to extract it from the recovery partition first...will do that in a couple of hours.
If this doesnt work, I will try a different approach and try to mix my own tool.
I also tested the AVI performance, but video plays slow as ass...so nothing changed here.

That's not working.
for some reason, the site isn't serving up keys, or for that matter, it's not doing anything. After I select the language, and hit go (to download) it takes me to another page with a loading circle in the middle and doesn't load.
Something wrong with the servers?

Where did you find that? I need that!
I installed the TC today. It was a lot of frustrating work with a lot of errors.
(It needed drivers for my own external dvd player, It crashed form usb-stick, and corrupted my XP partition)
However,
Now, I have everything running rather smoothly.
There is one program I need that doesnot start, so I would realy like this XP mode I heard about.

xp mode?
I've got xp SP2 and sp3 listed in my compatibility modes, but not just xp alone. Is the download you're talking about separate from that?

Tried it. It installs and then...... nothing.... no program group or icons and an almost empty xp-mode folder....
Thuroth's instructions don't apply because they seem to be for an older beta version.
Darn. I've managed to install Win7 RC version but I can't get any of the HTC drivers to work...
The VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10 says that " DPInst.exe does not execute on your current operating system".
What does THAT mean and why won't it work?!
If I rememember rightly from failing to install XP repeatedly, if that doesn't install then the other drivers just fail too? EG I've installed the WiFi driver but when I go to use it, it says there is no driver.
But apart from the fact I can't actually use Win7 yet, it looks pretty and seems to do things quite speedily
OK, so I have to learn to READ... All is installing swimmingly this time
Just wanted to say that Windows 7 on the Shift is fantastic!!!
Took me about 4-5 hours to get a basic install complete with all of the drivers, but it was time well-spent. All of the HTC drivers and features are supported including the fingerprint scanner, that HTC communications panel, etc.
Biggest headaches were getting the higher resolution display to work (had to turn aero off multiple times as driver installs kept re-enabling it) and my SD card giving me a BSOD. New drivers fixed that, too.
Follow the instructions in the Windows 7 thread (thanks everyone!) and stick with it. Windows 7 is worth a few hours of your time!
Hi guys,
as I read through the threads the upgrade to Win 7, same as the downgrade to Win XP, always requires the new installation of all software application programs that are not bundled with the OS.
i.e. MS Office, FireFox, Navigation software, ......
In June 2009 various news sites confirmed this obstacle.
In the last days I read that there will be (possibly) an upgrade that will not require the user to re-install the application layer programs.
Can anyone confirm or deny this statement.
And if it's confirmed will it be possible for the Shift?
Thnx a lot, guys
If you are upgrading from Vista, it is fine - you can do an in place upgrade and it will bring all your installed programs across.
If you have downgraded to XP, the only way to upgrade whilst preserving all your install programs is to upgrade to Vista first, and the upgrade to Win7 - there is no direct path from XP to Win7.
Regards,
Dave
Yeah, but Vista is still lurking, isn't it?
I'd rather endure installing everything twice (XP and Win7) than have Vista anywhere near my Shift!
In fact I did

Hi Dave,
thnx for your information.
I haven't done any downgrading (XP), not even the SP1 for Vista.
I have only liberated the Shift.
The OS is as shipped from HTC, only application programs installed.
If I do an inplace upgrade, will it get rid of all the Vista stuff that slows down the device? Meaning, will it be as good as a "complete from scratch" installation of Win 7?
Second, which version of Win 7 should I get? Home, Professional, RC?
And where do I get it?
Thnx a lot, cheers

Yesterday I made a full backup image of my Vista installation. Then I upgraded my HTC Shift to Windows 7 Enterprise RTM from MSDN.
The upgrade process took 3 hours, because it had to migrate 300.000 files and settings from one OS to the other. Before the setup I had 15GiB free on the HDD and after that 18GiB where free! So upgrading Vista to Windows 7 won't leave any old memory chunk on the HDD.
I only had to reinstall the Touchscreen Drivers. Everything else was still there: Several network shares, desktop widgets, explorer settings, all the applications with theirs settings, my two Outlook profiles with their on Exchange setups and so on.
Windows 7 itself also responds faster than with Vista. With the same auto-start applications I have more free RAM available and the OS itself looks much better.
So I can only recommend you to upgrade your Vista to Windows 7.
There is no need for a clean install, as long as your current Vista setup isn't anyhow broken.
After this Windows 7 experience I hope that the prejudice against Windows upgrades will be a thing of the past.
edit:
For the Windows 7 upgrade your Vista needs to have SP1 at least. I upgraded a Vista with SP2 and the latest Windows Update patches. The setup has to be started within Vista, otherwise it won't allow an upgrade. And you don't need to burn the Windows 7 DVD. You can mount it in Vista into a virtual drive or you can extract the ISO files to an folder. Before the first reboot the setup copies all the necessary installation files onto the local HDD. So after that the DVD isn't needed anymore.

Well i followed these steps - and when windows 7 boots the touch screen did not work as stated - so i downloaded the drivers from the HTC shift page, installed them. Although they did not error - they also did not work - seems to install properly but still not touch screen.
Also when I put the screen to 1024x600 the device bluescreened as it did in the pre-release versions..
Has anyone got Win 7 working (MSDN Release) and all hardware working; if so please share your steps.
Thanks

MS have stopped distributing the RC now, but they will still provide product keys for it until Oct'09 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/download.aspx).
You can get the full RTM version of Win7 if you have an MSDN or Technet subscription, but otherwise you'll have to search the usual sources for a copy of the RC iso (not promoting warez here!).

Hello,
please try to uninstall the the VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10 driver first, then reboot, install it again and reboot again. Afaik I did this to activate the touchscreen driver.
Good luck!
And about 1024x600: That is a known problem. The Intel driver creates a BSOD as soon as you use a resolution higher than 800x480. The current workaround is to disable the Aero effects. With Aero Basic you can switch to higher resolutions without crashing the system.
I hope this will be fixed soon.

HTC shift (clio 160)
I had to format my htc shift (CLIO 160) and reinstall a new vista ultimate.
But since i done this, wifi and touchscreen doesnt work anymore.
I went on HTC website and downloaded the drivers for MARVELL SD8686 WIRELESS LAN SDIO ADAPTER and driver for touchscreen but it still not working.
Could you please help me.
Thank you
Hey guys, First off I wanna thank all the wonderful people in this awesome forum for their help in making me get the best out of my phone, truly you guys are great !
So, I did my 'research' into ROM updating and stuff (been a homebrewer on various mobile/portable devices before, just got an old WM6.1 Opal from my brother and decided to play with it )
So, I'd been using the stock WM6.1 + Manila (TouchFlow 2D) that HTC provides in India (Idea Splash Screen ROM) and a few awesome apps such as the M2DC and stuff. Loved it till I'd did something wrong with the M2DC that it stopped displaying the weather (it would show nothing but "Select your city" ). Also, I'd HSPL'd the device a while back using 2.00.cmon (ty cmonex ) So, I wanted to try a few ROMs. The first ever ROM I installed was jagan's Evolution2, it was an awesome ROM, zero bugs (except for ActiveSync; which maybe my fault), but I didn't like the button layout at the bottom of the device, I also missed Manila 2D. So I tried out Opal_WM6.5_D20_21896_WWE loving the design and stuff, but it ain't as smooth
All those gripes aside, I can't seem to get ActiveSync working at all ! With both of these ROMs, was it because I didn't remove the microSD/SIM while flashing or some other fault of mine or does 6.5 not work with Activesync 4.5. The only dialog I get when I try to get it to work is that " It needs Activesync 4.5 or later", I do have 4.5 installed, all the necessary windows components installed, etc ! I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. It used to work perfectly till I flashed these ROMs, any way I can get this to work as I need to get back a ton of contacts and stuff
What's your OS? XP, Vista, or 7??
On XP re-install Activesync and see what happens.
Vista requires an Activesync update from Microsoft, visit their site and look for it.
on Windows 7 I'm using the Evolution 2 ROM and it syncs fine right from the beginning, never had any kind of trouble.
If re-installing doesn't solve your problem, try deleting the partnership, and creating a new one.
BTW, you should try the new Evo 2.5A, it has a newer version of Manila 2D, and a different button layout.
Tell us what happens.
Good luck.

With both of these ROMs, was it because I didn't remove the microSD/SIM while flashing or some other fault of mine or does 6.5 not work with Activesync 4.5. The only dialog I get when I try to get it to work is that " It needs Activesync 4.5 or later", I do have 4.5 installed, all the necessary windows components installed, etc ! I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. It used to work perfectly till I flashed these ROMs, any way I can get this to work as I need to get back a ton of contacts and stuff

I'm sorry for my english...
The problem is in the USB to PC configuration. For example, on my WM6.5 the procedure is:
1) Start --> System --> USBtoPC
2) Clear the checkbox "Enable faster data synchronization"
(Clear this check if ActiveSync does not recognize the device)
Good luck!
