Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 on HD - Landscape mode - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi there,
I'm new to HTC and navigon. I have installed MN7 but cant rotate it to landscape mode. I have trawled this site.
I have installed the files supplied on this site, have tried gsen and gyrator etc but no luck. Could someone please advise me? Is is possible?
Many thanks.
James

You have to turn the screen into landscape mode already before you start MN7, which means there has to be some content already displayed in landscape when starting mn7. You can't change the orientation whilst mn7 is running.
regards jan

I've attached 2 mortscripts which will shut down TF3D and allign your screen in the right position. The Navigonh.mscr is for the horizontal version obviously. Shutting down the TF3D gives a much smooter experience in Navigon. After closing Navigon the script will restart TF3D again. It also aplies a tweak to your GPS receiver to ensure a steady datastream to Navigon. Basically a must have for everyone using Navigon.
sidenote: I advise a soft reset between each use of the script. I've experienced on several ROM's that the script will not work properly when executed a second time. Don't ask me why, I've been to lazy to look in to that.
Although technically it is not needed to rotate your device into horizontal position before you execute the script, I can tell you from personal experience that it is best to do so.
Credits for this script are not for me. I pulled them from some tread, but I forgot the name of the author. Kudo's for him!

Hi there,
Thanks for your help, much appreciated. However, where do I add these files?
Couldn't see them in my storage card?
I might be a little thick here.
Thanks
James

Navicon 7 trial
I am using HTC Touch HD and can not get landscape mode, have downloaded the zip file but where do i put them. Your help would be very much appreciated.

The scripts need MortScript, so go there http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29.
Here's a short description from the developper :
MortScript interprets a (quite) simple batch language. If you know .bat files in DOS or shell scripts: it's something like that. Its focus is to remote control or launch other applications, not to write real applications. I.e., you can't do complex dialogs or graphics with it.
It's more an hacker tool without a nifty interface, you have to write your scripts with any text editor.
For beginners, this might be a bit too complicated. However, it's still far more easy to use than e.g. C++.​
Download MortScript v4.2 or v4.3b11 (b is for beta).
For example, download v4.3b11 and after unzipping the files, go to the cab folder and copy MortScript-4.3b11-PPC.cab (PocketPC version) to your HD.
Rotate your screen, as advised by Maarten, then click on Navigon.mscr.
Its function is to toggle TF3D and run MobileNavigator.
The differences between the 2 Navigon scripts are :
Code:
[U]Navigon.mscr[/U]
# Rotate(90)
[...]
# Rotate(0)
Code:
[U]Navigonh.mscr[/U]
Rotate(90)
[...]
Rotate(0)
If I'm not mistaken, the rotation is inactive in the first script because of the # used for comment.
I've just tried the first script after rotating my screen. I confirm that Navigon was on landscape mode. As I'm at home, I just launched the navigation and heard the first directions in TTS. All the screens (splash screen, favorites, 3D,...) were in landscape.
I'll test it on the road.

Hi I installed the mortscript on my HD I've run the script and all that happens is my TF3D disappears and where the start button is shows the title navigon navigator and thats it. nothing else happens. Any ideas?

Navigon should display its main menu after the title page.
Without running the script, does Navigon MN 7 functions correctly in portrait mode ?

Hi yes it works normally in portrait. Landscape even if not using the script still doesn nothing. in NRG rom 28 oct 2009 release it seems to drain all cpu power and freezes. Any ideas

browse to your navigon folder, open navloader.cfg with pword.exe there you can change the screen settings.
use RotateSCR and change it from 0 to 1

GPS/EXIF Camera Option WM6 - partly solved

since I've updated to O2-GER WM6, and enabled the GPS Option in the registry, it's not working any more as it does in WM5. I can take photos in that mode, but when I switch to it, the GPS is not activated as in WM5, and no exif data are available.
Anyone an idea?
Edit: I've posted a workarround in #7
Ahh it would be nice if this worked out because the lat:long on the old version of gps-photo taking in WM5 was broken.
Peter? Are you saying that it doesn't ind a signal so trips out? Have you changed any defualt settings for the GPS config? eg Com 4?
Also want to see the registry hack for this one.
Same settings as in WM5, and same registry entrys. I had hoped, that the lat/long buck would be solved, but the problem grows.
In WM5, you could see, that GPS would be enabled, if you change to that camera mode. - Flasching GPS-LED and runnig dots in the lower right corner of the screen during GPS.sync. That doesn't occur since WM6
The attached file is the WM5 registry entry !
Same problem here GPS photo mode do not work any more on wm6
the option is there but GPS does not work
This might be a solution for that problem
http://www.mobile2day.de/news/news_details.html?nid=11575
But it didn't work with my WM6 Orbit in the demo version.
I apologize that the Link shows only a german web site
Meanwhile I've found a workarround with the internal funktion.
The lat/long bug semms to be solved!
First I've enabled the P9 camera funktion.
When I start the camera the first time, a screen appears, where I am asked, where to store the images. It doesn't matter what I choose, but the 'don't show this message again' should not be marked.
When I now choose the GPS Exif mode, it works.
When I start the camera a second time, it wont work, if the screen where to store the images doesn't appear. So I have to choose the internal memory in the upper task bar. Closing the canmera and starting again, the desired sceen appears again, and the GPS funktion is working.
I've tested it with the O2Ger WM6
Hi can anyone fill me in here If I understand correctly you can take a photo in GPS mode.
I cant find this anywhere Iam still using WM5 not 6 so where can I find this capability, hope you can help..
Take the registry file, I've posted in #4, and add it to the xda registry, and in the camera menue is the GPS mod enabled. But ther is another bug in WM5, so You got a position error in east-west direction up to 1/2 mile
excuse me being stupid where is the registry i cant find it LOL
No matter!
The attached file camera_gps.zip in my post #4 in the beginning of this this thread includes the registry entry for WM5
What do you do with GPS embedded photos?
Hi guys,
I am able to take GPS photos with my HTC P3300. Could anyone please tell me what to do with them? Sorry for the STUPID question but can they be used as POI's for Tomtom? If YES, how?
Thanks for your help!
You can regard the place where You took those GPS photos in google earth.
These function is implemented in several pc viewers, e.g. irfan view.
I am with you guys so far but how and where do I paste it to . I cant find how to paste to the registry could someone help please
I imagine its easy and I am just being stupid but I cant work it out
Thanks
Thanks for your prompt reaction...
Is this the only thing we can do with these photos? I thought that we could use them with TomTom or other nav applications.... Please let me know. Thanx

You need a registry editor like Resco Registry
Go to HKLM/ Software/Htc/Camera/P9
and set enable to '1'
thats all
still doesn't work, i see the exifcamera icon in the setting of the cam and yes enabled the p9..but gps doesn't start. no blinking orange left led.
any updates fro wm6?
See my post #7. There I have described the workarround
i did it, but it didn't worked...so i tried it again.
i went with resco to the key and yes it was already enabled. so i put again 1 in de key and saved it over and damn NOW IT WORKS!
just one time till you turn the cam off (you can take as many pictures if you like), so as i understand it, everytime you want to do it you have to save the key again to use it.
Thanks a million dude, lets wait now for someone to solve it permenantly.

Well you also need to go in the camera settings and change the mode to "GPS Photo". Why on earth was GPS photo disabled on the O2 Orbit!!! They missed a massive opportunity there I think.

[PATCH] WVGA - FIX for Navigon Mobile Navigator MN7 v 7.3.2 (Workaround)

Hi,
it seems like Navigon tried to implement WVGA resulution in their latest version of Mobile Navigator MN 7 v7.3.2 ... however, unsuccessful :-(
To make it work, unzip the attached "BinaryConfig.XML" and replace it on the device in the "\navigon\" directory... other files don't need to be replaced any more.
This fix applies only to v7.3.2!
regards jan
EDIT: I've replaced the first file by 3 others... the first is identical to the original posted here earlier, the others "stretch" mn7 to a mixture between vga and wvga, and to fullscreen wvga. Backgound (in German language can be found here)
to sum that up:
-people who like the version without stretching take the first file,
-people who like higher use of the screen and still want the full functionality (in landscape mode) take the 2nd file,
-people who like full-screen with restrictions to functionality (in landscape mode some software-internal scroll arrows can not be accessed) take the third file
regards jan
Indeed. The 7.3.2 did not launch and I had to soft reset my Touch HD.
Thanks for your files !
Do you know what are the changes brought by 7.3.2, otherwise than the WVGA resolution failed attempt ?
Does not work good.
But good Try.
Cool
Working perfect for me
Thanks a lot
where find 7.3.2 ?

Hallo,
how did you get the Touch HD running on 7.3.2?
I also run this config, but my Touch HD don`t recognize the internal GPS. What will I have to do that the MobileNavigator will find GPS???
Hello!
I´ve got the problem, when i want to start the MN7.3.2 in landscape mode, the mn7 goes for approx. 5seconds to horizontal mode, but starts in landscape. Then it rotates to landscape, but the mn7 is cut to the left half.
Has anybody an idea?
I use MaryOne ROM from HelloNasty, so it rotates for itself.

if you haven't changed any gps settings on the hd itself and if you don't use any port splitter like serilot or glopus, it should work with the following manual gps settings in navigon setup:
GPS Type: Internal GPS only
GPS-Port: Com4: ActiveDevice
GPS Baudrate: 4800
TMC: None
at least that works for me...
good luck

You have to make sure that the screen is in landscape mode (which means not only hold the device in landscape, but have an open window (i.e. file explorer) which actually is displayed in landscape) BEFORE you start MN7, and it should stay like that all the time. MN7 gets "confused" when you change screen orientation during operation. maybe you should exclude it from your g-sensor app.
hope that helps...

HD switching off
Hi all,
Since I have installed navigon MN7, my HD does not switch off automatically anymore.. That's very bad for the battery. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks !
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446487&page=43 (hope this becomes a link), post #423. The hard reset may not be necessary; I did it because I wanted to clean the device of any unexpected effects which I was afraid would have been created by MN7 using the "wrong" xmls. Sorry I tried both on my PC (the installation program) and on my HTC HD (my trail version) but coud not find a menu option saying which version of MN7 I have!
Thank you hausen, it works perfectly on my Diamond2!
Hi all,
today i've bought a Navigon Mobile 7 for my HTC HD2, installed, updated via Freshstuff and till this morning my NM7 wouldnt start at all...i modified it with the files provided here (.xml) tried with soft and hard reset, uninstalled Copilot Live 8 (thought was a kind of conflict). The manual say:
- use 2 gb sd micro card to install the software..i've used 4 gb and 8gb...maybe is mandatory???
the program start and remain freezed fro few second (without any welcome screen, just the pda freezed...) then i checked in the task manager and i saw was in run using 2.49 mb of resources and i had to stop it few time...
now...any solution about? or i have to be again a bad guy and stop to buy software but just have to keep download cracked software?
Thank you all for the answers,
S. aka Dr. Dobermann...ANGRY...really ANGRY!

Do images rotate on turning the device without opening the keyboard?

Do images rotate on turning the device without opening the keyboard? like on HD or Diamond? Because in my TP2, images do not rotate on turning the device as it is supposed to due to g-sensor .... isn't it? Does it have to be activated somehow or is it not possible in TP2 ... which will be strange.

by default rotation with gyro does not work on Rhodium.
You can use gyrator2 if you wish to enable this functionality.
Cheers,

I have the same problem. Screen rotates in opera, but not in Album.
same here, and gyrator is not the perfectly program for this... its slow, and it isn't integrated with WM after install. its just a stand-alone app what runs as the same way as other programs (you can also close it by taskmanager).
Also taksmanager doenst close programs by clicking [X] ?? (even when i select it)...
Attached regisry that will enable a lot of programs in G-sensor.
You also can edit by notepad to remove program that you are not like.
Well found! Very Handy

I understand this works great. few questions:
Doesn't it slow the device?
What programs do you suggest to be rotating without the screen sliding out and what programs do you think shouldn't flip to landscape because it gets annoying?

The same question could be applied to many things HTC have done with the Rom on the Rhodium.
At the end of the day, do what we do best here, add the functionality that you want, then fix any problems that occur afterwards.
I haven't noticed any adverse affects using gyrator, as yet anyway.

Doesn't it automatically display the picture at the maximum size? Meaning if it is a landscape picture it displays it in landscape and if it is a portrait picture it displays it in portrait? I actually prefer the way it is done in the new album which I am running on my FUZE.

New TP2 user - several queries

Hi, first post here. I finally replaced my 6 year old iPAQ 2210/2215 with an HTC Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. I'd appreciate advice on a few points please. Hope it's OK to raise multiple topics like this? I also posted to HTC forum yesterday but so far no replies.
1. I make/receive relatively few mobile phone calls so I prefer to use the TP2 in a rather similar mode to previously. IOW, more as a Pocket PC than a phone. Am I right that the Today screen cannot co-exist simultaneously with TouchFlo3D - it's one or the other?
2. Assuming that's the case, is there some way I can quickly restore the TouchFlo UI when I do need it? Or must I go through Settings > Today > Items and re-check that box (losing all my other checkmarks)?
3. I can get to most of the TouchFlo features anyway from the Today screen. But one at least has defeated me: that nice Weather program, which I like a lot. Any suggestions on how to build a shortcut to it please, even if not with the fancy animation?
4. I'm concerned to maximise battery life. I can turn off WiFi and Blutetooth. Is it possible to turn off GPS when I'm not using it?
5. I've so far not found a built-in backup tool (like iPAQ Backup). Is there one, or must I use a 3rd party tool like Sprite Backup?
6. Is there an executable somewhere on my TP2 that will rotate the screen please? When I add Pocket Plus to my Today screen, that has such a toggle tool under one of its tabs. But, despite having only just paid for Pocket Plus (which I've happily used for years on the 2210/15), I don't think I'm going to get on with this latest version, so I need an alternative rotate tool.
Sorry for what's turned out to be a rather long first post!

1. Completely right, but you can use SecondToday (freeware) as a shortcut to the "old" today screen.
2. See 1
3. Stay with the Today screen in combination with secondtoday
4. No, you cannot turn off the GPS, but what helps a lot is to put the band of the telephone fixed to GPRS, not UMTS/3G/HSDPA. That saves your battery a lot.
5. No there isn't, you must look for Sprite, SPB or sunnysoft backup.
6. Try Flip-it, it works automatically with your Gsensor. Otherwise look for Gyrator or ChangeScreen
Hopes it gets you going
Re backup software. dotfred.net's pimbackup is a handy tool to transfer personal info and can be scheduled.
I am using Second Today.. works great!! love it!! Just like you, can't live without the WM today screen.
Thanks all, appreciate the replies so far. Will try SecondToday. I'm still experimenting with Today plug-ins such as Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze.
I have another query but will post separately about it as it's an application problem.

Just to add.
GPS is turned off all the time unless an application is polling it.
So unless you leave the GPS test,GPSToday, Google Maps, Tomtom, iGo or whatever running, it will be off.

Thanks labbbby, that's good to learn. My main app is Memory-Map, which I use for planning walks (hikes) and recording them etc. On a 6 mile walk the other day I was a bit disappointed to find that my battery was down to about 50%. So extrapolating to a full day's trek (say 12-15 miles) it would be on the limit. Reckon I'll have to invest in a spare.

Hi,
- I would advice you to use TouchFloDetacher, works better than mToday or SecondToday AND it has an easy softkey changer so you can switch easily between TF and Today
- My favorite weatherplugin: WeatherBugDirect_PPC_VGA. Works great but maybe not fancy enough (?)
- Rotators enough: there is a cab somewhere on this forum that does it by changing some reg setting: is better because all the others (i think) are separate programs that need to be running in the background using up mem!
hope this helps a bit ... (still a TP2 beginner myself)

I feel I must correct others:
4.- yes, GPS is switched automatically off when no program listens to the virtual COM port that they see (the driver monitors it), and started when a program connects to it.
It is also switched off in suspend mode, if you would like to log track with PPC "off" - see my program at www.madhacker.org that changes the way the driver behaves.

Ron: Turned out to be down to my stupidity. I tried to execute SecondToday.CAB from my PC! Installed OK of course when done properly from Resco File Explorer on the TP2.
But can you help me get it working please? I first ran the CAB while in TouchFlo mode. Should I then see any evidence of it on the main screen (purple, with large digital clock)? I didn't see anything obvious so went to All Programs. There I found 3 relevant entries:
SToday Quit
SToday Settings
Second Today
I clicked the last and got an empty Today screen, with the left softkey 'Calendar' and no softkey on the right. I clicked that blank area anyway, as I couldn't find anything else, but that gave the error message "This file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found..."
That mention of a trusted certificate is puzzling. When installing from the PC desktop I've been getting an alert about that and clicking Yes to proceed. But when installing from this SecondToday.CAB that didn't happen.

Thanks Curehead. Not sure if you've seen my reply to Ron about SecondToday, but I'm having the same frustration with TouchFloDetacher! I'm sure it will turn out to be down to some basic mistake on my part.
I ran TFDetacher.CAB in Resco File Explorer while TouchFlo was on. Then, as I couldn't see any more direct way, in All Programs I found 'Hide TouchFlo' and clicked it. That gave me the error message "Unable to find TouchFlo Detacher Service". I also tried re-installing when in Today mode, but got into a similar mess there too.

If I've understood correctly this means that while using Memory-Map to record my walks I will be able to switch off (suspend) my TP2 to minimise use of the battery, yes? But I'm not clear how Mem-Map will still be tracking while the TP2 is suspended? Unless it does, there's not much point keeping GPS running?

1. Completely right, but you can use SecondToday (freeware) as a shortcut to the "old" today screen.
6. Try Flip-it, it works automatically with your Gsensor. Otherwise look for Gyrator or ChangeScreen

Ron,
I started with Gyrator but I'm totally baffled as to how to set it up. I read earlier in an article about it something to the effect that "Install the MS.NET stuff and the CAB and it just works." Not here it doesn't.
After reset I got a sort of setup screen I didn't really follow so I opened the 'Events' window only to get a complex settings window that meant nothing to me. I'm not normally this dense! Is it meant to be understandable by mere end users rather than programmers/developers?
Is there a reasonably simple step-by-step on how to set it up you can point me to please?
I was hoping for a program that would simply install itself and then either automatically rotate every screen or let me do so at the tap of a command.
I'll try Flip-It now.
Edit:
Gave up on Gyrator and didn't try Flip It following further study. But instead I'm pleased to report that late last night I eventually got ChangeScreen working. The only one I found comprehensible!
BTW, its default was set not to rotate TouchFlo screens, so I had to change that. Why would that not be generally regarded as desirable please?

Autorotate hd mini!!!!

Hi,
I want to point out, this small (cab) found a rom for HD2 Laurentius26 (Thanks) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044596, running on a HD MINI. It allows automatic rotation (landscape). I did tests on the main features of HD MINI, from start menu seems to work well. Obviously does not work perfect on home screen and dialer. is useful to me for example, in the Remove Programs screen.....
As Laurentius26 realized, would be nice to create for HD MINI, a dialer (phone keypad) to insert into a rom cooked .... combined with the cab autorotate.
hi, does it work in the sense? i mean for example in the music tab..does it rotate into landscape same as on hd2?
hi, I tried it now because I did not know if it worked, because I do not use Music tab.
It 'clear that they can not run those programs, which have no skin in the landscape. The CAB autorotate changes the (log system) on the instructions MANILA. I think! but inside 56KB adds nothing !!!!!
In fact, I think, Laurentius26 on ROM FOR HD2 added skins to PHONE DIALER to operate in landscape.
As I have said does not work with all programs in rom: dialer (phone keypad), etc. HOME SCREEN. . MUSIC TAB LANDASCAPE in fact it does not work with BSB Tweaks !!!!!
Do not be hard for something that is given for FREE!
First of all there are already a few threads which specifically discuss about this matter with different apps (Probably around 3).
As mentioned above, the problem does not lies on the AutoRotate app but Manilla itself so unless someone is willing to create HVGA landscape Manilla skin there wont be any landscape Manilla view for our HD Mini.
Considering the low activity of HVGA skin and app development, the chance is slim ....
In fact it is so Ahinigami. I cooked a Rom for hd mini. I'm looking at this work, an application that allows autorotate COMPLETE, to be included in ROM.
(As I said above) I opened this thread with the hope, too, that someone could make a skin for HD MINI laurentis26 as it did, at least for the telephone keypad.
But here it seems only .......... : download and install!
Update
And in fact sometimes life rewards bold .......
I was reminded that long ago I published a thread (TUTORIAL MOBILE MAGIC).
From that folder (attached to the thread) I managed to build a (cab package) and fully functional. I think I continue on this road ....
telephone keypad, is it the usual dialer we're using "cprog"?
If yes, it does support landscape mode ....
I just downloaded the dialer to pack kitchens.
then placed on ROM to HD2. but I just did download.
in the little free time I'm looking for a good rom to join HD mini. Now I'm considering O2_uk
anyway .... and now that I think I can do now a (cab package), if I can send you a private pm
UPDATE:
I understood the potential of HD MINI. I spent a little time,
and I made a special cab for PHOTON. is the dialer pad (telephone keypad) that I said above.
From the first test seems to work fine (I used MOBILE MAGIC) is enclosed SCREENSHOT 2/ 3 / 4. Thanks to Ahinigami to the stimulus.

Hi.
Thanks for Auto-rotate
If you create a cab , please upload it ...
If you're planning to cook AutoRotate app into your rom, I suggest using simpler and smaller app specifically just for this purpose.
I've tried the cab you attached in the first post and it was quite buggy (Sense tab is not functioning properly such as alignment) and without any blacklist/whitelist feature.
On the other hand Mobile Magic (Beta) is a rich feature app but comes with larger footprint.
If you've the time, pls do try out ChangeScreen. It has a simple and easy to use interface and smaller footprint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, if you're planning to include AutoRotate app into your Rom, do you plan to allow just a few selected app such as Shell32 (Start Menu), dialer, and Sense (When possible)?
Some programs are not rotate friendly and will stop working properly once rotated so you should take this into account too.
Hi Ahinigami ,
ChangeScreen I tested (I did not know) but absolutely bad (on my rom). It should immediately crash and lock system. I could not even evaluate the memory usage when this program is resident in memory.
However, I'm working on another program, and I am considering just the memory used, depending on the version used the same program. In fact, the features that I want to achieve are: the fluidity of the graphics, speed, low memory but also the workers!
For the delay on the dialer cab I apologize! Patience!
But I do not eat with it! I do this for a hobby ...... but I also have my job!
For tonight than upload a new thread in the dialer pad and the cab to rotate + tutorial. Afternoon do the last test and upload!!!
I see, take your time .... Having a new developer for HD Mini is a good news itself for me.
There is nothing I can do for you but I could at least help you to try out your new app and rom when released.
Ahinigami Thanks!
is a pleasure for me to be of help! Experience together!

I hope good news .... for you ..... for you all.
Hola, great work you´re doing here
I´ve been comparing the Mini and the HD2 for a while now, and even though I´ve also achieved to rotate (force rotation) Manila/Sense, it´s not ported to landscape yet (7c60907d_manila, 22e41977_manila, 14394200_manila) and has never been. The fact is that we should have to decompile and mode some of the manila core files for it, assigning in those files the corresponding positions for the elements...
Now, if all you want to do is to be able to rotate everything else, that´s easier since a few reg entries will do that for quite some apps (see L26 rotation cab) OR by using a very simple and powerfull app like xHook or xtask. I use it on both my Mini and HD2 (yep, with Laurentius beta ROMs) and I can rotate "on demand" everything (except sense) by simply assigning the winflag softkey to the rotation of 270 degrees within xtask
Hi BHS_ Interceptor,
Thank you very much.
You gave some very interesting news!
I think it is the right way, ......
In fact that's what I'm trying to implement. From your suggestions, I will try to work .... because I want to get the final result that you wrote above. Well.

Hola Oregon, glad my post was useful. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
Btw, if you simply use the reg keys and also enable autorotate, the behaviour on the Mini will not suffer except on Sense. You would have to add a lot of exe´s to the white list and after installing new apps, some of this would have/need to be added as weel. Using xTask/xHook, you don´t have to worry about white list nor anything else, even about registry, since it rotates on demand what ever and when ever you press the set Key. You can also assign another key for it, but I like the win flag since we already have another one right below the softkey. If you replace the winfla icon with a "rotate" icon" then all looks perfect as well
Btw, on my HD2 (I´m also a member in Laurentius Platinum Beta team) I have assigned the button through the "build in" taskmanager Leo is using for the ROM...
