26 May 2011: Adhip's i900 29020 WP7alike. 23150, 28238, 23569 ROM

I don't know if it's the same problem as dockers4u, but:

When I synchronize my contacts using microsoft MyPhony, it syncs, I see it syncing 45 contacts (correct number) and it says that it synced succesfully.

However, when I look at my contacts on the phone afterwards, they aren't there.

I like the look of this rom and i really appreciate the effort that was put in to make this. However i'm gonna switch back to a light rom + spb or a m2d rom, not sure at the moment. I'm only sure that i want to get rid of this one. This rom personally doesn't work out for me for following reasons:

- I had troubles flashing this rom, phone part wouldn't work. Had to reflash to another rom and then back to this one to get it to work (never happened before)

- I just cant get or see my contacts on my phone. I only see contacts that are on my SIM card but I cant get my Myphone contacts into the phone. Tried using iContact to no avail

- I miss seeing the weather on my homescreen as you can with m2d and spb

- whenever i close a program, it stays open in the background. Using this rom was the first time in my life I saw a 'memory critically low' error message on my phone. It is extremely annoying to after closing / exiting a program, to open the file manager and REALLY close the program. I hate double work. If I click on close or exit, why would I do that if I want the program to stay open and running in the background ? It makes no sense to me, and its making the phone slow and battery drain.

- Most important probably is that i'm one of those (few?) people that think WP7 interface is fugly. Tried it myself with this rom now to widen my horizon but... nope it stays fugly.

-> i'm not a fan of analog clocks, but the one on this homescreen is particulary ugly

-> why loose the entire right side of your screen to display an arrow to open your programs ? Complete full screen tiles would be nicer and since swiping to the left already works to open the programs... just my opinion though

-> about that programs panel: program icons appear on a dark green square background... its ugly :huh:

@docker4u : Have you tried to go to Filter>All Contacts ? I don't get same error,probably I don't have lots of contact like you :huh: I'll look into it.

@flyke :

- troubled flashing, well sometime it happens. I experienced 2 times with Ock's & pDhee rom.

- try open Contact and from the right bottom menu, choose Filter > All Contacts.

- host UI don't have weather plugin yet. I use Touch Weather

- You need to have additional program to automatically close the program since basically wm only minimized it. I use Quickmenu which enable me to close opened program one by one or altogether without closing host.

- Well I've tried WM7 & I prefer host than real WM7 :) . Everyone has their own taste :P

Thanks for your input. My rom is intentionally lite and more like a base rom. So users should add their own 'flavor' on it.

@Pornstar : sorry bro, I don't know how. I'm just combining work of those great developers. I'm not even a programmer.

yes ADHIP, filter contact shows "ALL CONTACTS" selected. Of all the version that i've tried, this version is the best so far that suits my need, it's fast and i like the theme and other programs that comes with it.

I tried adding contacts or just even EDITING contacts but it's giving me error so i guess it's not about hpw many contacts you have on the phone...

I can add contact, but yes you're right, when trying to edit existing contact it shows error : "Sim Contacts must include phone number blablabla..."

It's strange since I never touch this area (Phone/SIM Toolkit) when building the rom. I'll look into it as soon as I can.

tnx adhip, appreciate it. i'm actually looking forward to it coz im not so happy with some roms :huh:

My conclusion, the problem comes from the 21686 WM Builds. Even I do a 'safe' dump (means full WM Build & i900 components w/o any customisation) the problem still exist, while using other WM builds this problem gone. Here, I made another ROM using 28244 builds with about same config as the previous one.

I'll put this in front page if there's no more problem.

sorry 4 my bad english :(

Yes it has 3G & Bluetooth problem, I have mentioned it in my 1st post so I made another ROM using 21686 build. However, this has another problem so I made another one using 28244 ROM (just 3 post above this). Sorry about this.

Regarding the MMS, I have also mentioned this in the front page including the 'cure' provided by leebates - almost in the bottom of my 1st post

Btw, I did add MMS module on the 28244 but I don't know whether it's working. I can test it because I don't use it.

Sorry for my bad English too :(

Try re-install ftouchsl so it overwrite the existing, then uninstalled it so all those files are removed.

If it doesn't work, then you need another ROM w/o ftouchsl though it'll be hard to find.....almost all custom ROM use this.....

hi adhip, so far im still using the 28244 rom and in addition to the problem im getting is that there is no sound/vibration option for SMS so whenever i rcvd sms, there is no sound at all, although its not so much important for me but others may see it a very impt feature. Also the battery indicator is not stable, not providing the correct battery status, sometimes it's on 89% then if u plug it to usb it will right away jump to 100%. And last thing, it won't connect to the internet even if it's connected to my pc using usb.

----

correction. i was able to find the link where i can enable the sms sounds. :( it's the power and internet connection which is worrying me instead:)

The reply problem on non-threaded sms actually WM 6.5 bugs, cause the non-threaded is WM 6.1 feature. The sms reply fix is here : http://www.modaco.com/content-page/294404/...6-5-1/page/20/# . I haven't tested yet cause I'm charging the phone right now.

You can set vibration from Settings > Sound & Notifications > Notification Tab > Choose Event : Messaging : New Text message > (scroll down) check Vibrate

Battery indicator not stable, this is from Host screen right? It's a bug from that apps, hopefully it solved on the next Host release. Just rely on the WM6.5 battery's bar indicator or you can install a more precise battery meter apps.

Internet : Go to Settings > Connections > Connections > Under "Task" Tab choose "Automatically configure connection", it will check & create Internet connection profile based on your GSM provider.

Hello adhip, and thanks for this nice rom!

I really like your work, except for 2 things which i would like to see in your next rom:

1. "x" close instead of minimize

2. Some iPhoneToday tweakening like the movement, alpha blending (lags a lot when wallpaper is present).

Also, would you be interested in these?

1. Disable the start menu on the home screen (i'm doing this using an app, i dont know how you could cook it thought :P )

YEnSU.png

After that is done, the front button could be set as the Start Menu shortcut. (again, i'm doing this with an app)

2. List start menu (will add points to the wp7 look)

I hope you like some of these ideas and maybe use them on your later works, cheers and keep on cooking!

Thanks for the comment.

1. "x" close instead of minimize; well, I use that minimizing feature a lot, ie going from IE to reply SMS/Email to copy file etc and when going back to IE, I still get the last status instead starting over. I use Quickmenu to jump from one app to another or to end a session permanently, I've been using this app ever sinceI use WM. There's a lot of similar task manager or fix that you can add to XDA_UC folder (so it will be installed at 1st boot) if you prefer to use 'x' for closing app.

2. I find it OK/not too laggy except when change from Portrait to Landscape vice versa. If we remove some icons and use transparent as wallpaper, speed gets better. But yes, I still trying to get the best configuration, If anyone find the best setting please put it here.

And yes, I want to make the homescreen clean, no startmenu/softkeybar and taskbar since it can be replace by those icons, I have made all the image inside WM7 Metro theme transparent, but still no luck. I'm trying to see what inside the tsk file right now. I prefer to do it through theme if possible, so we can always use another theme to make it back to normal :P

The list start menu has crossed my mind, may be later on my next rom.

Well, i tried to cook a rom once....big fail :P

1.But i like to customize a lot, so these movement settings on the iPhoneToday work very well with me (maybe you 'll find them usefull), i could upload the settings.xml if you like but i have some custom sounds, notif, pressed icon etc...

Movement threshold: 20

Movement factor: 5

Min velocity: 10

Max velocity: 120

Refresh time: 35

2. I think (in my humble opinion) that nickschot's WM theme looks better than the one you're using.

3. The original WP7 font is nice to use with IPT, i've uploaded it and also attached a screenshot so you can see how it looks and also because i like to show off :rolleyes:

@vizolover; your custom setting seems to improve the iPT response. Thanks :P, I'll take a look on that theme you're suggested. Btw, you don't need another app for "start Menu" shortcut. Just create an icon, use any image you want and add "--winkey" (without quotes) in Execute box. Anyway, what app do you use for removing the top & bottom bar?

@macky14th; wow, I'm glad to know that someone still using my 23569 ROM. I too, using that ROM for a long time, even go back to it from newer version :rolleyes:. Unfortunately, if you see my 1st post, I mentioned about a disk crashed which made me lose all my previous kitchen including the 23569, so I couldn't check it in my kitchen. I'm not sure video call is supported but try using apps named "favorite hack" to enable the 'video call' option.

Hello again adhip, thanks for the response, for the removal of the bottom menu bar i use this application (free) http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx I haven't revomed the top status bar.

Yes, you 're right about the --winkey i used this way for a little while :D

I will continue my feedback when i have something more to say but if i can help in any other way just say the word, i would be more than happy.
