Great Job



glad you all like it

Very pleased with it, all sorts of minor niggles have been worked out


that was an important aim for me


Quote

  • Could you associate txt and ini files with pnotepad?

  • Could you put Soundwidget in the Startup?

  • When you do the package for the Internal Disk, will it have shortcuts and file associations by default in the rom? Maybe we could have a vote - i for one don't mind treating my Internal Disk as part of the OS image - that way we could get things like the GAPI demos back

  • Speaking of GAPI, could you pre-set "Activate Framebuffer Cache"?=

  • Could you put PocketPuTTY and DotNetVNC into the package? (I'm guessing it won't fit into the ROM)



- actually i tried to set ini association for pnotepad, but for some reason pnotepad complained when it opened after clicking an ini file. did not have time to debug the issue. does it work for you? how?
- soundwidget, not sure, how many people would like this ? i'm asking
- package: good idea. no need for voting, i can make two images, one ready for the package and one not, for those users who prefer to fill their userdisk with their own stuff.
- oh, i'm not too familiar with GAPI (basically never use it), is this Activate Framebuffer Cache useful for many programs? or does it make the displaying faster?
- putty/vnc yes, that would work. no, they won't fit in the OS image itself, though right now i don't know the file size of that vnc app.

Also, when you click the "Web" button in Media Player it opens IE not ftx - is this because it is harcoded to do so or is the http: protocol still set to IE? I don't really use Media Player, just been going through all the programs...


did not look into that but i can try

Great job, thanks to all.

Very nice job, Cmonex.
However, there is a small problem in the skin theme:
you didn't pack the commctrl.dll.0409.mui that I sent you yesterday: this one was not made by me, and does not match my original skin theme. That is certainly no big deal, and does not affect functionality, but your file does not enable flat style buttons ( like the ones on my screenshot).

I attach a fix which restores my original skin and adds the specific V2 color theme ( commctrl.dll uses an internal bitmap resource for buttons, so the color theme must match the bitmap color used in the dll, otherwise it looks weird).

Just flashed..congratulation for the great job!

BTW I was wondering if you could disable the "Tile image on the background" and make the wallpaper (wich is pretty nice indeed) fit the screen.

Hi cmonex,

installation had some problems due to Transcend 256 MB CF card. Used a no name Card imsted. Everything is installed well. You have done a good job on custom rom. I shall try next the use of my Linksys WLan WCF54G with driver installation. Feedback on next weekend.

regards from Germany

well, as soon as i figure out why the system won't accept the full sized background compessed. (it will not fit uncompressed) but i actually like the tiled version more

oh about commctrl, it was my decision to use another (i did not like the flat style), but maybe you're right. anyway users an now download your version if they want thanks!

glad to hear that!


i forgot to say something: if you have ppc apps hacked with execheck, you can try using the unpatched versions - install the CAB and see if it works out of thebox. would appreciate feedback

also, when i removed coredl2.dll from the rom, i put it in as the coredll.dll itself!
but in some cases, aygshelp.dll or aygsheld.dll may still be better than the default aygshell, even though improved

Great job Cmonex. Amazingly, its even better than your Version 1.0 ROM.

I've got a question though. Is it possible to run Opera Mobile 8.65 or 8.6 without doing any hacking with this ROM? Or does Opera still require modification to run properly?
