I did the migration with local backups on a local laptop (not using any cloud provider or other apps that suck/misuse your data).

Contacts (300+ contacts) are migrated with the contacts app (-> Settings -> Export) to a local file on the mobile.

Then connect the old mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the laptop.

Then connect the new mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the new mobile into the Download folder.

Then on the new mobile phone use the app FIles and go to the file in the Download folder. Choose the file and the contacts will be imported (attention: I was unable to access the file directly from the app contacts, choosing it from files worked automatically)

For ca. 2000+ SMS and ca. 4000+ calls- logs I used the app "SMS Backup & Restore" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en&gl=US).

On the old mobile, export the SMS using the app into a local file on the old mobile.

Then connect the old mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the laptop.

Then connect the new mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the new mobile into the Download folder.

Then on the new mobile phone use the app FIles and go to the file in the Download folder. Choose the file and the SMS will be imported (attention: I was unable to access the file directly from the app contacts, choosing it from files worked automatically).

For the calls-logs proceed as with the SMS.

This way you have at the same time a local backup of the most important mobile data on your laptop.

P.S: For migration of you OTP-tokens use FreeOTPplus following these manuals:

Does anyone know if these are properly implemented through the APIs? I am aware that the HTC home screen supposedly uses the 3D chip, but nowhere says how.

If it is properly implemented it would be very interesting for developers and gamers alike.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
Judging by peoples experiences with DirectDraw at least that API is not accelerated. OpenGL ES is though and Direct3D is probably mapped to Open GL ES calls and would also be accelerated (with some form of, probably slight, performance penalty).

There are two threads in this subforum that are asking for benchmark results from the Diamond but so far none of the current owners seem interested in providing anything.

Ive been trying to run a full spb test on the diamond at default settings and on battery power. It didnt like the word test (seemed to stick at about 90% of opening the alice word doc then looped forever!) and also didnt like the pocket internet explorer test (well it opened opera browser for the test, and didnt like it for some reason!), just running it now with buit in application tests disabled.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
Thanks for your efforts!

The SPB results are actually very poor unfortunately. Almost too poor, did you have lots of stuff running in the background or anything like that?

Apart from the pure CPU tests (including decompressing a JPEG and a ZIP file which both are very CPU bound as well) both filesystem operations and graphics operations are a lot lower (or at best equal in some cases) to what you would see on a Kaiser for an example..

:(

I think at least we can say with certainty that the GAPI and GDI/DDI drivers are not any better than on the Kaiser, very minor boost due to faster memory and CPU sped can possibly be achieved but that's nothing compared to real hardware acceleration.

I really do hope that the next version of Windows Mobile and the included APIs andate some sort of all around graphics acceleration Video hardware acceleration seems to much like a tack on in current WM and the Diamond seems to be the ultimate proof of that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jkr284:
the only things running are the default progs in the background like touchflo etc. something has been improved as ackys breakout and bejeweled 2 run beautifully in vga aswell, they ran like **** on my touch cruise (slowdown and stutters) in reality this phone ****s all over the cruise performance wise in games and general use.

One thing that was better on the cruise is the 3g reception which i could get inside my house but not with the diamond.

Tomtom6 displays real nice in vga also but takes a longer time plotting routes, much longer!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eskostar:

"I really do hope that the next version of Windows Mobile and the included APIs andate some sort of all around graphics acceleration Video hardware acceleration seems to much like a tack on in current WM and the Diamond seems to be the ultimate proof of that."

it would still require drivers even if ms provided them like in normal windows

Ran it and heres what i got:

http://service.futuremark.com/orbmobile/projectdetails_spmarkjavaweb.jsp?projectId=23157&projectType=20

Looks like it didnt want to do the 3d test......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DesktopMan:
This is discouraging. Most of the tests don't run, and those that run give really low results? Sounds familiar. I really don't want this to be yet another great hardware with lackluster software support...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
yes of course it would need drivers :)

but current Windows Mobile seems to be built with the assumption that there will be no specialized graphics hardware (so everything is build to run in software)

desktop windows is built on the assumption that there will be hardware acceleratio for 3D, video playback and even the GUI, I'm hoping windows mobile 7 sports a similiar approach, thus "forcing" manufacturers who want to ship even baseline WM devices to support their hardware with graphics drivers

also something with the underlying framework in windows mobile seems off when it comes to hw accelerated graphics, as I mentioned earlier it feels like a tack on that wasn't planned in the first place

thus even when we have devices with hardware and drivers it still not universally applicable (check the diamond for a perfect example, it has some level of hardware acceleration but it's not general and system wide for whatever reason)

so what I am hoping for is a standardized, general system wide assumption that future WinMo will have graphics hardware just the same as any PC today has some level of hardware acceleration (in effect making it close to impossible for companies like HTC to ship devices with hardware but without drivers)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radeon123:
Thanks for running the test :)

My Pleasure!

To everyone worrying about gaming and movie performance i wouldnt worry at all,

The latest coreplayer has no lag in high quality films

Ive tried loads of astraware native vga games and they run flawlessly, with soe tweaking as shown on other threads the interface is now ery quick. I wouldnt bother stressing yourselves over the performance as its stellar for the size of the device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
640x480 movies? (Coreplayer played those fine up until the latest Kaiser ROM)

3D games or regular 2d ones? (basically all astraware games run just fine on my tytn ii for an example)

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, it just seems as if the Diamond is basically missing the performance some of us thought it to have. (Though that's not to say that the performance is poor)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
UPDATE ON CALL OF DUTY:

Works absolutely awesome, NOT using minimal settings, i was able to play pretty well. NOTE: Tytn2 and Touch Cruise was NOT able to play due to heavy lag even with minimal settings. Game was perfectly fine, with except with just a small little, not lag, but looks like the rendering was a bit slow as i looked around, when i used hardkeys and stylus at the same time. NOTE: ALL pdas lag in gaming when using hardkeys and joystick at the same time. However, it was minimal, and call of duty was enjoyable to say the least. SO yes, it DOES have graphic accelerators. Proper benchmarks will be done when i have proper time.

UPDATE. SPB benchmark seems to hang. cant run it. hangs at testing word document.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] citats:
Guys don't fret over the bench marks... the software writers are not able to forsee how to write tests for hardware that didn't exist when writen. Once the benches take new tech into account the tests will run, and maybe with some accuracy. I wouldn't wager a dime on any of those posted bench numbers.

Yup movies run fine! well the ones i run like episodes of heroes and lost at 624x352

Hi Baronic!

How is about the camera of Diamond, especially in dard light condition ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
@ Baronic, are you running the OpenGL ES version of the game or just the regular software accelerated version?

AFAIK those are two seperate installs (CAB's/EXE's)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DesktopMan:
Actually, they can. If the hardware implements standard specifications (Direct3D Mobile and OpenGL ES obviously), old tests should test new hardware perfectly fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
The Diamond is not some kind of futuristic device: it runs Windows Mobile, it runs on traditional hardware (just an incremental upgrade over previous ones), it uses traditional APIs, it has traditional storgae

the test results are most certainly valid and in no way is there a need to rewrite the tests

sorry, but you are just plain wrong here making pretty wild assumptions without a hint of fact backing it up

benchmarks that test filesystem performance, raw CPU speed and memory speed etc. most certainly have no need of being rewritten very often, at least not until something changes drastically in the hardware

nothing has changed drastically here, it's the same basic architecture that we've seen over and over again

just a bit more memory and some sort of video acceleration (thogh not complete)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
@littlerain, dark lighting, still the same as ever as far as HTC cameras go. sorry. i feel the video framerate is better though for wat its worth.

@undac, is there any other way besides cab/exe to determine which version i'm using? because an exe can be made into a cab file, so, i dun think thats sufficient premise for comparison
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nphil:
http://www.glbenchmark.com/result.jsp?orderby=dvsg_best&brand=HTC&submit=OK&benchmark=glpro

so much for openGL hardware support, i assume it DOES support it, albeit poorly.

download the app for windows mobile and try it on your diamonds and post back!

Detailed comparison here :

http://tinyurl.com/5p7cs7

openGL ES 1.0 seems to be supported, with decent results!

openGL ES 1.1 failed. sigh.

The diamond seems to be the same as the LG KS20 hardware. I own a N95-3 too and the powerVR mbx chip is simply amazing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
The KS20 results seem mostly distorted (way too high in the latter tests) so take them with a large pinch of salt.

Did you run the common profile or the common light profile? (cab ends with CM and Cl respectively)

won't run at all on my Kaiser (says missing component or certificate) but in any case it's pretty much established that the kaiser doesn't have proper drivers anyway
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] at10ti0n:
the futuremark benchmark is based on java and there is only one jvm on windows mobile which implements 3d jsr and that's not by default on diamond. Thats why it failed on 3d test.

I have one question: when playing games if u press the touchscreen do you seen any lag on screen? could you try it in both 2d and 3d games? thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] undac:
People already stated that it does slow down when using the touchscreen in games in other threads I'm afraid. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
Switch off Touch Flo 3D, soft reset, and u'll see a huge improvement in your gaming
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nphil:
the GLbenchmark application is not java, and hence support for JSR 184 is irrelevant. Bottom line is that the diamond only supports openGL ES 1.0, and the EGL vendor shows up as ATi during the benchmark test. So, I can only come to the conclusion that Imageon sucks, and is nowhere close to being as powerful as powerVR's MBX (comes with OMAP 2420 chips).

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] yamen_tn:
This operation involves risks,XDA and / or myself can not be held responsible for any problems encountered during installation or possible handling problems.​

You rooted your A50 or installed a custom rom and you want to get rid of the annoying warnings about unlocked bootloader and custom firmware in the boot splash screen? this is for you :

​

Edit: New method is much easier ; Just install the flashable ZIP file in TWRP or any custom recovery and voila.

Flashable zip with android 10 splash

Flashable zip with android 9 splash

​

Using your own custom images is also possible, all you need is just drug and drop or replace your logos in the zip file and install it in TWRP.

Be carefull to the image size and bitrate

Old method still work as well

1: download this file(Original A50 android 10 splash screen without warnings)

If you still use android 9, download this file(Original A50 android 9 splash screen without warnings) instead

2: start terminal emulator (i use this one from playstore)

3: gain root access:

su

4:type (copy/paste) this command:

dd if=/storage/emulated/0/Download/up_param.tar of=/dev/block/platform/13520000.ufs/by-name/up_param

5:Enjoy your new splash screen

You can create and use your own up_param files (just untar the original up_param file, edit the images then repack the tar file without compression) but you need to ensure that:

-images must be the same dimensions and bitrate as the original and their size must stay raisonable (I can't confirm but some reported it must stay <500kb)

-the hole up_param file cant exceed 8mb

-you must fill the tar file with "0" bytes to 8Mb to work properly with this method

Why do you need to zero fill the tar file, i forgot to do this step and my file is 2.4mb yet it still works fine.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Also, how do you zero fill a tar file
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] yamen_tn:
when using the "dd" command if your tar file is smaller then the original tar it doesn't totally overwrite it and you end up with a corrupted file and just glitches in the screen. to ensure overwriting the original up_param you need to create your tar file then fill it with "0" bytes to the maximum size possible of the file (8192kb). to do that i use a hex editor

there is always a risk when messing with system files. but it happened to me a couple of times when experimenting to corrupt the up_param file and the screen stayed black during initial boot with just some glishes but fortunatly the system still booted and i had just to retry with a good file .
