I know dude, the other day I was just sitting there looking at my phone.

And for the first time since I've had it I thought to myself "Well now that it's sets up exactly as I want, with latest ROM/Radios, all my pics/music that I want are in the right place and everythings working" what do I do now!?

I just sat there, staring, then I thought it's been a few days, Swifty must have released another ROM by now, I dont even care if it works, I just wanna flash something!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:
Agree x 2. You will regret what you said when Swiftblade slow down the ROM development. This is my experience. :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Qukace:
However i do feel that v5.0 lite rom is slightly faster and lesser memory leak too.. anyone else feels the same?

Yes I feel the same as Zekee. I flashed back to the 5.0. Waiting for the next generation. :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zekee:
well i'm not just into flashing roms.. i've been trying out different applications all this while and "screwing" up my phone registry all the time. So when Swift introduce a new rom, i thought well i might as well flash it as a way of "hard resetting".

Hence, i am always anticipating Swift's Rom Releases.. :D

*while typing this msg i'm waiting for v5.5 to be "fixed" and up again`
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
If Swifty ever slows down on his ROM development then I'm afraid I shall have to track the man down, kidnapp him, lock him in a room with nothing more then a loo and a load of computers and I'll force him to work.

Anyone have a problem with this?

Sorry what I mean was anyone wanna help me?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
hahaha. I think this constant flashing + tweaking is what makes us choose WM phones over other "normal" phones. And the satisfaction is probably what drives people like Swift & others on to make more ROMS + updates with their own precious time. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zekee:
lol! Group Therapy for obsessive compulsive ROM Flashers..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:
but now.. i decided to flash back to v4.0, the fastest ROM for Diamond I've seen so far... :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Now wait Andrew and Roy and Zekee... uploading v5.6 now and I must say this one not only fixed all the bugs in v5.5 but I have added new camera that fixes erratic autofocus bug and new audio manager that fixes the pausing bugs...

It is as fast as v5.0 if not faster...

Tentative Change Log:

o Revert back to Manila Build 1630,38 (yes build 1813.8 is the main culprit)

o New Camera 6.01 (autofocus is working again)

o New AudioManager (No more intermittent pausing or at less very minimal)

o Replace GS Finder with new Total Commander 2.51

o Two versions with Opera 1780 & 1660

o New Volume Control

o New Spb Calculator Skin Manila

o Some other minor tweakings...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zekee:
Now thats something worth waiting for! :D

Thank you Swift!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drvdijk:
Hero! Can't wait... How fast is that upload speed? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Well i've just decided to Flash them all again for the hell of it (this really is rediculous!). I only started on ROM version 4 so I'll go back as far as I can and see what they are all like.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] benny76:
I am also facing the same problem...any solutions? using 4.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] holyfox:
New questions~~~

1.How can I change the front size in TF3D

2.How to change "ME" in SMS chating into another word?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] novalistic:
When I tried install Pocket e-Sword Version 3.0.1 just to test . . . Ya, same problem as mentioned, on top of that I realised that my "Transport Guide" by AdvantLogic also corrupted. Could it be the cause?

Downloading :D

Why the 2 opera versions by the way? Because of the Chinese characters? What other differences between the 2 builds are there?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cyron_at:
..one link is already posted..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Global_Inferno:
I take it as you haven't uploaded the manilla update, that the SMS bug is still in the newest version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] FAKKELTEIT:
lovely!

big thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
So Swifty do I want the 1780 or 1660 ROM version?

I'm in the UK with Vodafone if it makes a difference.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cyron_at:
..why does the version of the opera make a difference in uk with vodafone?!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] holyfox:
nobody knows???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
I've no idea thats why I was asking. I thought somewhere it was mentioned that one was for Chinese characters or something so assumed the other wouldn't be.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
No manila 1813.6 which has the SMS and WIFI saved bugs. Back to manila 1630.38..

No difference. The Opera Build 1660 is more for the chinese HK community who have ovelapping chinese characters display issue. No harm too if you want to try 1660.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
SwiftBL Diamond v5.6 Lite ROM has also been uploaded at Rapidshare mirror and 5 mins later to 4shared.com mirror too.... :)

Have a wonderful time and GOOD NITE!...;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drvdijk:
Am I the first to have flashed the ROM? Let's go configure this baby. Thanks yet again SwiftBlade!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3IN3K3N:
I just flashed back to 5.0, from 5.5. And now im flashing to 5.6. Hehe, thats life. And thanks for a great job SB.

I will test it now this rom

Is they a way to get a french version of it ? How can I make it in over case ? Can I help to translate ? How can I contribute to make this rom available in french ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IlGim:
Is possible an Italian Version??????????? please....;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kultus:
first impressions...

WOW very very fast I dont know how you did that but bravo even faster than 5.0 I hope that it'll keep after first installs

-phone skin is ON in lite version but its better for me ;)

some suggestion for the next version... what about nice foldiers (apps, config,etc) with base OS apps like phone, contacts etc in there because of better scrolling inside programs after install new apps...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I am very sorry but I really can't translate it into any other languages. I am not kidding, it's totally not my cup of tea...:D Cheers..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] placebo78:
Hi Swift,

I have a question. I am still on 5.0 full ROM and its ok with me, but I have 2 things I noticed. Is it possible to apply a patch (or maybe in a future version) to up and down the volume in single steps and not 3 steps with one click. Specially when you are phoning and you want to up the volume a little, it is a PITA if the volume cranks up to highest setting.

That would be a cool tweak. Also, when you guys doing phoning via speaker, do you all have this cranky really bad sound? It almost sounds like the speaker is damaged in any way.

Please think about it Swift. Other then that a very cool ROM.

Hi fellow Flash Junkies:)

Could anyone pleace attach the "Manila.exe" located in the Windows folder?

I managed to f*** it up during a Weather hack and did't back it up?

Just don't have the energy to flash once again...

Thanks...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] geistteufel:
Hi, I just want to help

If I have the clue to do it (I don't know, any source or any think that can help), I can create a French version for you

I don't know how can I do it, I have lot's of fr translation version, but how can I pack it after ? I don't know ...

Please, do you have an idea ?

Hi All,

Probably has been mentioned somewhere in the thread but i had loads of problems connecting to exchange when i first tried. Maybe nothing to do with the ROM but it has put a proxy server in the connection for the internet for T-Mobile.... removed that and that worked. Other was i had to use the Advanced config to change the Comm Manage to display the Push Email bit to turn it on....

Works like a treat now, miles better than the Orig T-Mobile rom... at least this one receives my email!! haha.

Good work mate!

Cheers

Phil
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drvdijk:
Indeed, that has nothing to do with the ROM :) My telco's proxy also does not forward exchange.

Question, probably also not related to the ROM: Anyone noticed how fr*in slow Skype runs when calling? Did not have this issue when using 4.0, 4.5, or 5.0, but in those ROMs I did not replace Manilla by SBP MS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] emre_aachen:

Does SwiftBL Diamond v5.6 Full contain an equivalent of Cleartemp?

I was thinking of installing Cleartemp with SwiftBL but didn't want to be duplicating or interfering with the functionality of SwiftBL.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
5.5 is working well for me - I am glad I decided to use it - and now 5.6 :eek:

Never flahed a device so much lol - I get this later today.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] maximussmurf:
Has anyone used the Lite rom with an Australian, Telstra Handset? I got one under contract, and would love to use the lite rom for the speed increase.

Also can I backup my current rom using the developer apps? So I can revert back if I get any issues. Thanks guys.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
Whoaa... I see a new camera app! Thanks bro Swift.. you're listening!

Since U package Gsen with yr ROM, Im pretty sure it works (unlike some ROMs out there)

Those with v5.6.. is the manila with the flipping clock animation (from 00:00 -> xx:xx) ?

I'm currently using BePe's ROM with 1.2.34569.1_1813.6, which apparently looks newer by number, and has that animation.

After trying a number of ROMs, I learnt that speed is pretty much similar across all ROMs. I just need to apply the cache tweaks to make it fly!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:
Dear SwiftBlade,

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I must say congratulation to your new v5.6 ROM.. you repack all new feature with the stable version of Manila. From my initial usage result, the performance is up to the previous v4.0 level. So, the latest build of Manila should be the root cause of performance drop.[/FONT]

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Thanks a lot for your quick ROM rebuild last night. [/FONT]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Well.. Nope you can't recook the ROM outright from the downloaded RUU as most of registry files were removed from the ROM to make it cleaner, lighter and faster. If you want to personalise your rom, well we got the Lite version which allows you the options of installing your own favourite applications.

This is OT and let not discuss this in the ROM thread. PM me if you have a damn good reason as to why you need re-cook the ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi Mask,

GSen v1.7 is working like the charm! And nope, the clock animation is only in manila 1813.6 which I used in v5.5 but it had issues with SMS and WIFI log-in saved. That version was abandoned and I have revert back to the older 1630.38 build. The only difference I noticed between the 2 versions is just the clock animation but sometimes the animation went bizziare like it starts to count down from 10:01, 10:02, 10:03 and so on till the current time... imagine I did once at 11.59 a.m. haha..:D

Have you try out the new audiomanager, seems alot better... Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
You may want to uninstall Spb Mobile Shell and confirm for us whether it is indeed the problem. Thanks.:)

We are back to Manila 1630.38 which we used in v5.0 and probably why you don't see any changes..

Nope, not included. You can proceed to install Clear Temp if you so wishes..

Go to the Wiki to search for "how to dump and rebuild your rom". The one at Kaiser is especially useful.

Yup, it is confirmed that the errors, bugs and sluggishness problems lies with manila 1813 build being not so compatibile with the Diamond ROM. Manila 1813 build is ripped from Rapheal btw and maybe there are somethings differently coded in manila.exe that are Rapheal specific only.

__________________
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
Cool. Prolly will try out yr ROM tonight. Although the clock animation seems cool, it is nice to have the home page appear instantly as in the older manila build. As for the clock going crazy, Ive seen it in the older builds too, but happens once in a blue moon and its more fascinating than frustrating to see the clock counting up gracefully.. lol

As for the Opera build, I'm currently on 1780, and it's process remains in the background with >90% CPU after each exit. That lags the whole device down, till I kill the process with a task manager. (thats when I saw the clock freezing, then catching up to current time) I just discovered this.. So I'm prolly gonna get the 1660 one. Any take on this?

Yea, I realized you mentioned theres no pauses with this audio Manager. I'm eager to try it out. I'm actually also hoping this problem isn't there when using 3rd party MP3 players too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Frankly speaking, I rarely runs Opera so intensively and so didn't notice the phenonmenon that you described. May have some true in it. When I test run the two versions, the one iwth Opera 1660 is slightly lighter (means more storage memory) and I do feels it is slightly quicker but it's not scientific and could be purely psychological. I am running on Opera 1780 version now and will try out Opera 1660 version toniteto do a comparison.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boxhillab:
Dear Swiftblade,

I install "Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7" and change some setting, the diamond keep restart or hang.

For "Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7", i re-order the tab, change the mui and remove some link from programs.

and i try to change some setting of Advanced Config 2.1.0.0, it has the same problems.

Thank you so much!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
If you had read the Diamond TF3DConfig thread itself, you will know what kinds of problems it can cause and why, and it is not related to the rom. As for Advanced Config, I always advise to retain the default settings and no registry tweak is necessary.

Please pose the questions to the relevant threads where the application or registry tweaks originated. It is not related to the ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boxhillab:
Dear Swiftblade,

Sorry about that!

Because I change the setting in the offical 1.37 and 1.93, both work fine. So I think it may related to the ROM, that's why I post it here.

I'll retain the default settings, thanks!

P.S. I'm using your ROM v5.6 Full
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:
Dear Swiftblade,

Remember I mentioned about memory leak issue before ? Today I found the memory leak seems caused by the manila itself.. but it could be program memory cache, may be not a memory leak.. not sure yet.

The situation is after opening website in Opera, Inbox with html mail opened.. listen to MP3 in Manila, view some pictures in Manila, open Total commander and browse something and sync-ing.

Free program memory becomes around 20MB. I closed all programs using quickmenu.. wait for 15 secs, and then check the program memory, it has only around 34MB. However, if I disable and re-enable Manila in Today and then i have 50MB free program memory...

so I guess some memory held by Manila, but not sure it is a program memory leak, or the behavior of Manila need to cache something... I can't see any performance difference even re-enable the Manila or have it running for long time. so, it is more likely that Manila have big memory leak issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
Well, that explains why manila has auto-restart function at every 12mn :)

I kinda stopped worrying abt RAM. For me, here's the scenarios:

without cache tweaks: Slow overall performance, more RAM, leak slower

with cache tweaks: Fast overall performance, less RAM, leak faster

In the end of the day.. I still can survive enjoying a fast device. I don't seem to run out of RAM. I always got Notes, contacts, SMS and Calendar running in the background. Maybe a soft reset once in 3-4 days.. but thats no biggie :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
It seems to me more of a memory cache thing than memory leaks from what both of you had described. So come to the wire, it's a balance between performance and free RAM memory, very much like the Pagepool size stuff which I have not started experimenting yet to now..

Mask, you seems to be a believer of tweaking the memory cache to enhance performance but personally I don't really felt that much of a difference in performance or at least not significant but then maybe it's the way I use the phone. Diamond appears to have set some of cache dynamic but again it's not scientific but a personal feeling...

If I have abit more times this weekends, I may try out some pagepool sizes and see how it works out. Just that I need to get a more reliable benchmarking tool to do some meaninful comparisons. If not, it's just a subjective personal feels...:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kourampies:
something is wrong with the camera...

its super slow, i used too shoot very good videos with the stock rom, but with this version i cant shoot anything that moves :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
Well, the tweaks for performance I add are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Glyphcache\limit=131072

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=16384

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=131072

Well, to be frank, I'm not sure which one of these make the most significant improvement. I only know that filesys.exe consumes more RAM after these tweaks. Didn't have the time to experiment them individually.

When I flashed Bepe's 0.97 last week, I decided to use the device untweaked. In 2 days, I felt uncomfortable with the performance. Immediately added those tweaks and it's all good... :)

Anyways, those tweaks are now in a separate cab from my "auto config" cab. So when I flash yours tonight, I will run the device without the tweaks and have a feel first.

Cheers!:p

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Yes, I tried that and seems to be the case in v5.6 Full. After soft reset it works again on the first shot. But last nite when I was on v5.6 Lite, it's working fine. So wonder whether the different in installed softwares caused it or is it GSen? If it's any consolation, at least it works with the first shot .. haha;)
