[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
Now this sounds really bad, I hope this is not a problem of the Elite ROM.

I updated my WWE Diamond to the Elite ROM(manually executing Hard-SPL).

The Radio is still 0.93.25.NS26 though, I thought that it is going to be downgraded but apparently I misunderstood things.

Here's the tricky part: I cannot confirm ANY performance improvements, sorry guys.

I had the 1.35.401.3 WWE installed on my Diamond and although there seems to be slightly more storage memory, the program memory is even worse(had aprox. 50 MB after first start incl. Touchflo 3D and now I have only aproy. 48 MB).

Also the whole ROM seems to be working a bit "jerky", maybe it wasn't such a good idea to update my Diamdond that early.

I'm on Vodafone Germany, the automatic operator settings configuration worked fine.

The problem may lie in the fact that this ROM is based on an older ROM and apparently HTC made a lot of improvements on the 1.35.401.3 ROM I had before.

That said, I think that I'm going to go back to my original ROM as soon as I find out where to get it from. ;)

I'm going to play around with this ROM for the whole day to make sure my first impression is accurate but so far I'm not very impressed.

HOWEVER: I'm VERY VERY thankful for the work of the Elite ROM guys, don't get it wrong. It was the first release, kudos to them. Thanks guys.

Only positive side of the new ROM so far(as of now): the boot process is much faster.

UPDATE: increased font cache to 16384, re-started device a couple of times and it seems to be working much faster now.

I also have now 55 MB program memory, haven't installed any programs yet(nothing additional running in the background).

I'm going to stick a little bit longer with this ROM to see how it performs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
We thank for the effort, but this ROM it has problems. Often they are presented messages of errors, asking to send report in Microsoft. Also the speed does not have no absolutely improvement, concerning Europe 1.35.401.3 Ship.

I believe, that beyond the likely abstraction of certain applications, so that we gain a little space of storage or certain regulations in GLYPHCACHE & FATFS, should be not wait for ROMs with increase of speed for Diamond. HTC ROM is very good and without problems.

Sorry for my bad English.

http://rapidshare.de/files/39698084..._Diamond_52.26.25.09_0.93.25.26_Ship.exe.html try this, it is perfect
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
that is the base of this ROM

and to all who have issues, DO NOT increase the glycache or the FATFS values, yes you might achieve some instant results but over time it gets worse and applications start to crash.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
no, the fact it was hardspl was irrelevant, the SPL version it was based on was the problem: WM6.1 roms are bigger, and when the SPL does a reformat, it manages to erase too many blocks so managed to erase end of WM6.1 rom.

HTC fixed that in newer SPLs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
wow, you live next to HTC?! so why do you hate them?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pietrucci:
Sorry, I don't agree with you. This ROM is way faster and more staible than my original Dutch ROM. It has no freezes, every program works fast. Big improvement for me...

cheers mate, links updated
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
I did not make comparison with Dutch ROM, but with 1.35 Europe Version from HTC, with spb benchmark and with my hands.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
well i suggest reflashing, as this rom was based from the 1.35 version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pharaohnough:
RE: Automatic profile problem

Did a soft reset and it works just fine. No complaints here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
I will try again. Maybe problems they emanate from certain applications that are not compatible with netcompact framework 3.5.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
NoData doesn't seem to work in this ROM. An error is displayed when trying to run it! :confused:

Any alternative?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
what is NoData?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/

Netcompact framework 3.5 is to blaim.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Oppainter:
Possibility to disable internet, push, ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
Yeah, i thought so, even thought i used it with no problems in my Cruise with NET 3.5 installed!!! :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DesktopMan:
Inclusion of additional keyboard languages would be excellent, such as the Nordic ones.

Happy to see custom roms already!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pctan1584:
hi, got intellisync working on my Diamond also but every time I do a softreset it is slow starting up or it just hangs on "touch here to start touchflo 3D" I eventually got tried so I uninstalled the sync client. Aren't you experiencing the same?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
You can turn off data connection by default in Rom Comm manager? Dou you need nodata?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
I want to prevent the case that some programs try to make a GPRS connection in order to download something without asking.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
That is what I meant by turning it off in conn.manager, you prevent it there too? Anyway, lets not spoil the topic ;)

I can completedly go back to factory-defaults when I put up this rom and bootloader-thingy (insurance-issues i'm afraid of...)?

Thanx!

Riel
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] johnkorver:
Do you think it would be possible to remove the touchflo3d from the ROM??

I would really like a vanilla ROM, I didn't use touchflo 3d after 1 hour.

I think removing touchflo would really free up a massive amount of memory (storage).

Keep up the good work!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mattijn1980:
Nodata works by me! No problem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
thats the plan with 1.1, i will be releasing a "Vanilla" ROM also with half of the crap removed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sub69:
Haven't tried personallising a Diamond ROM yet, but I'll have a go tomorrow.

Has anyone updated Dark Simpson's "htcrt_devices.ini" for the Diamond, or am I going to have to figure that out for myself?

(As I'm sure you can tell, I usually wait for someone else to do the hard work, and then do things the lazy way...!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mattijn1980:
Also remove the trimmer and other stuff we don't need. But want to keep the tf3d.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
Then... something else makes that conflict!!! Maybe a modification, a registry tweak or another application!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
I currently have 1.35.404.4

Would the Elite upgrade make it faster? (want more stability and speed ... ;))
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
Tochflo3D is actually the ONLY thing which made me buy the Diamond.

Yes, it is slow, not very responsive(sometimes jerky) and compared to the iPhone, a pain in the a... BUT: the Touchflo 3D GUI looks absolutely marvelous and it would be a pitty if people would return back to the WM OEM GUI.

On the contrary, I would love to see some developers taking Touchflo3D one step further by "covering" the remaining parts of the OEM GUI in that nice design/look.

It may cost performance but it would be worth it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zwuncki:
Perfect!

TF3D is the biggest crap since TF lol. And it costs so much RAM and performance...

And there's stll so mch stuff like YouTube etc.

Of course, some people want that. So maybe two ROMs, one vanilla, one with much stuff, so that almost everyone has the oppurtunity to have a ROM he/she likes.

I definetly want a clean ROM.

Why not working with a wizard??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chainfire:
ROM works great for me. Thanks guys :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
good, but no txt ringtone while in standby

Love the new rom, faster and smoother gr8 job! but I am having a problem which is effecting both this rom and the default one i had.

When i receive a new text message (SMS) while the phone is in sleep mode, the phone does not ring and vibrate (as i have set it to do).

All that happens is that the lights on the d-pad light up in a circle, then when i push the power button to bring the phone out of sleep, it then rings and vibrates (as specified in then settings)... odd. :confused:

Sometimes i can get it to ring while it is in sleep mode, if i keep the 'SMS \ MMS' program running in the ram, but that only seems to work soon after i have done it, few hours later and again it wont ring till i bring it out of standby (even tho the program is still in RAM). I think this is more of a windows mobile problem perhaps, so sorry if u think this post does not belong here, i have tried looking for a solution on google but had little success, but i am not the only one: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...to-notify-when-receiving-sms-in-standby-mode/

and i have tried it with other sim cards too... no luck. anyone else have this prob + a solution...?

thanx J
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Martinus:
Maybe a noob but just asking for to be sure.

* I install the Hard SPL right?

* I install the elite rom right?

what if I do not like it and want to go back to the original ROM? is there a backup app?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jehlinger:
JanDaMan,

Have you tried this registry tweak?

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL: DisableSMSWakeUpEvent - change from 1 to 0
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sayyas:
its work fain with me keep the good works
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
hey there, yeah i did do that actually (assuming hklm=HKEY lol)and it works now, only problem is it wakes up the screen too, so buttons can be pressed etc, so i did this too: 'registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 ' so the keys auto lock

And now im happy :) thanx for the reply... now just need to get a longer life battery and this is the perfect diamond ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Joost39:
Thx guys!

Donated £15 today for this nice result..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rivmin:
Working perfect - thanks.

Donation in progress.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
My result: 6980. Haven't tried the original ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
Mine benchmark is 3928 average fps with original rom NL. Not very nice compaired to others
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
You need to tweak the file system cache, etc.

File system cache size: 8MB

File system filter cache: 131072

Tweaking the font cache size to 16384 also improves things a lot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
Those tweaks are not working on a Dutch rom. Eventually soft reset isnt working cause its hanging on startup TF3D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] someone1234:
btw why won't auto update 'NEVER WORK'?

I assume you mean the windows update they added to WM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
because the Updates have to be approved my Microsoft AND HTC!!!

I remember reading an article about it a while ago from Microsoft and its fine for them to approve it, but then it has to be approved by HTC / and the carriers before it will appear in the list (which will never happen)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] someone1234:
LOL thats hilarious. What was the point!

Is there any way (or even reason) to show microsoft aproved updates and ignore the HTC and carrier aproval check?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pharaohnough:
Hey it's like Windows Update on PCs... it's all about what MS wants and what MS releases but when do you ever see Windows Update including manufacturer driver updates or other non-MS software??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
not at the moment no, before it even shows up on Windows Update it has to be approved by HTC and carriers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rivmin:
Those tweakings made it much worse on my device (Elite 1.0)

Before changing the settings I got 6950 in 3D Dynamix benchmark, after the changes and soft reset it dropped to 2500.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
as i said on the front page DO NOT play with those settings, as yes they might improve instantly, but over time it makes it all worse.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GPSSlovakia:
Hi,

anybody has benchmark results comparing original rom and this one rom ???

And is iGO 8 running on this ROM by chance ?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
IGO8 isnt running on a Diamond...so i guess its also not working on this rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] massimax:
my old ITA rom had GoogleMaps embedded. Elite doesn't have it. I tried to download but the actual version is different from the one that was installed by default: smaller buttons, no satellite view and no "my position" function. Why doesn't Elite come with gMaps?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
Google maps and Rom 1.37.707.1

Yeah this doesn't have Gmaps, but i downloaded it on my diamond using the IE browser (seems to need a mobile browser) and to me its exactly the same as the included one, large and with Sat view... try installing it again.

Also more importantly does anyone know how this rom (which i am now using along with a few other tweaks) compares with the new Rom 1.37.707.1 ??

looking forward to the next elite already :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] massimax:
could you give me the link for gMaps download with Diamond browser? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phrozact:
Can't wait to get off work and flash my Diamond with the new ROM. I'm always keen on things that increase the amount of RAM available in my device!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adamz:
No Remote Desktop Mobile??

That's unfortunate! :(

Elite torrent

http://www.rielity.nl/tor/Elite1.0.torrent

I wonder, why we all use that nasty rapidshare as, as xda-dev users, could easily share bandwith and make ourselves our torrents?

I just made one for test, and only give you the link to this rom's torrent.

If you think the idea is fine, post it :)

I hope we will do this for every single rom...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] demonizator:
Great idea. I often have problems with these rapidshare alike download services.

:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
OK no you cant open this in opera, you have to open this link in the Diamond's Internet Explorer (which you can find it in the start menu...) type this into the IE address bar: http://mobile.google.co.uk

and download and install
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] panosha:
Take it from my ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] webvan:
Thanks for this cleaned up ROM. Any plans to make a clean version of v1.37 too ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] galinha:
Can you put a portuguse keyboard ? or can you help me on this ?

Thnks a Lot

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
does not mind though.

A mixture of :

HTC who refuses to sell me a WWE device in taiwan for Professional testing purpose

No drivers and misguiding publicity -HTCclassaction org.

stealing away a young developper I hire and a few other things hehe

Back to thread.

i did bought my Diamond in Hong Kong yesterday (5600 HKD in town - 6180 on Airport to be warned)

Rom is 1.34 WWE and is indeed rather slow in reaction, though no bugs out of the box so far (tested between 1 and 4 AM when arriving home :D)

Gonna do some read-through though still my Question remains:

Does ELITE 1.0 solves the CPU overheat ? (I found out it is NOT the battery warming up)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lightman3dd:
Hello...how do you have extracted it from your rom?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Am seeding now to a few clients I see. Momentarily i'm on a fast upload server :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
Errr no it doesn't help i dont think, if it does i haven't noticed much difference, but i live in the UK, so something getting warm is your hand is a good thing with our weather lol (although it has been warm recently). But yeah does mean things are running less efficiently when it heats up like that, but that's what CPU's do i guess, lol unless you want to stick a fan on there hahaha
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DesktopMan:
That's nice, removing TF3d and using the old HTC home instead (which honestly would be much easier to use) would free up a lot of space and ram.

As for additional dictionaries and input languages, they already seem to be included in the european rom (which elite 1.0 is built on), they're just not in the menu:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=399388

I tried to get Norwegian to work, but the info is somewhat thin. Seems to be possible to edit the registry to add all included languages though, would be great for elite 1.1!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jehlinger:
here's an idea for 1.1:

1.37.707.1 base ROM

Radio: 0.93.25.NS26 (I'm thinking this radio is better than the more current version)

TF3D - removed - make cab available

some of the other crapware removed as well

:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chowpk823:
Thanks and will use it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
No, the "old" radio definetely is NOT better.

I get less 3G/HSDPA fallback to GPRS/EDGE, 3G connections are definetely more stable now.

I'm on Vodafone Germany.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jehlinger:
Guess there's the difference depending on where you are, my reception with T-mobile US got slightly worse, and more lag to reconnect after signal is lost.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hihinet:
i wonder to know if i have a system crash during flashing the rom, i guest diamond can not load it system normal or even can't enter window mobile.

can hardreset help me to restore my diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anheuer:
Is there anyone who tryd the 1.37.707.1 ROM??

Wondering if its faster/better than this rom (elite 1.0)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
yeah, errr well it does seem to keep a bit more ram free, and its at worst just as fast as the elite rom, more importantly tho, the 1.37 ROM's seem to have considerably better battery life... also things like the SMS tone not working with the phone in sleep are fixed in the new ROM too, so you dont need to hack the registry and make it wake up when u get a text :)

i made the switch from the elite to the 1.37 and am glad i did :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DesktopMan:
reg entries to enable the other included dictionaries:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402121

Maybe for elite 1.1?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
heh, next version of elite will be based on 1.37 (or newer) :)

there'll be a lot more features too :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
tbh im qutie happy with my diamond atm, i mean the TF could always be faster, but its very usable now, there would have to be some very appealing changes on the new elite ROM to convince me to flash again...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BrigateGB:
hi Guys, i am using the Eliteu1 too and it is for sure better then my original so i am really waiting the new relase..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pietrucci:
me too. cut the crap out we don't need, some registry tweaks...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
an update for you ALL!!

Elite 2.0 will be released in two days based on 1.37 AKU 1.1.6.

This is more stable then the current Elite 1.0.

Stay Tuned ;)

Sounds great! :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
Walsh, thanks to you guys.

Can you confirm that the memory leak will be solved? As you know, killbiotouch.exe is not bringing the end solution and I run you V1.0 now with a program memory leak of approax 5mb/15 minutes. Need to soft reset each 1-2 hours to stop leaking and stopping applications.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] white_pawn:
So, I got my Diamond two days ago, and installed the Elite 1.0 ROM right away. Yesterday, after leaving it to charge for a few hours, I unplugged the power cord and the device rebooted automatically! Today, the same thing happened after connecting to WMDC via Bluetooth. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

UPDATE: I've just tried connecting via BT again, and this time my PC rebooted! Now I can connect without problems again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] evowwy:
Great ..

thanks to you

.....and have you built in the bbconnect compatability as expected? (I sooo hope so again, lol) :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vijayvasa:
Even I am waiting for an update on elite 2.0.... hope it comes soooooon ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] walshieau:
yes an update, its going to take a day or two longer, im in the process of porting a newer kernel then the AKU 1.1.6 which improves the stability a little bit more...

so stay tuned :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pharaohnough:
Have you tried Developer-SPL on your device?

I've not experienced any of these problems but No. 1 definitely sounds like you're using protected SPL
