Hey Roy,

Im not an expert but this is what i know.

You have to flash your Diamond with some Hard SPL (signed or unsigned, depending on the rom you want to flash)...

Only after this you can flash ti with the desidred rom.

I advise you the USINGNED HARD SPL (its for devellopment purpose), since most of the good roms out there require it.

Yes, after flashing the ROM you will lose all data on the phone memory (not in the Internal Storage tho)

I hope i made myself clear.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] megaoctane:
The ROM is updated from your computer and not from the phone. The phone must therefor be in sync with the computer before you start.

You MUST have Olinex Hard SPL installed. Do not try to flash without.

Read more instructions on this site: www.modmydiamond.info

The sight has links to where you can download the unsigned olinex hardspl, and to the radios.

Great site with a lot of pictures and a super walkthrough for updating Hard SPL, radio and ROM.

EDIT: Sorry man. Was too late, Krpano already answered.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Thanks Andrew.. is that a youtube review of the ROM? I can't see it from my office right now! I will watch it tonite and if it's any good, I will post it on the first post...:D

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Ok I followed the instructions from www.modmydiamond.info in order to flash my old 1.37 ROM.

I then downloaded the 1.93 ROM from the 1st page.

Extracted the folder to my PC desktop and then ran the ROM.exe file. My phone then proceeds to lose its connection with the computer and then it goes into a 4 coloured screen, blue, green red bars etc. then it goes into the 0% bar with grey background.

The PDA PHONE ROM window then pops up on my PC but its all foreign (not in english) I tried gueesing which buttons to press but it seemed to say it had lost connection with the device (as I said previously) and then it just did some weird stuff to my pc.

Anyone tell me which buttons to press and why my fone loses its connection the moment I click on the SWIFTBLADE ROM.EXE file, i mean if it's lost the connection how will it install anything.

At the mo the phone is just sitting on the 0% screen with the grey background and I guess the PDA phone ROM wondow on the PC is waiting for me to press something but its all foreign!

Any help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xxx67:
Swiftblade, very nice rom!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] trmurakami:
very fast rom!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] captainsensible2002:
Did you check that the Hard SPL had correctly installed by looking at the boot loader screen? Once the ROM upgrade has started and made the connection to the phone (which is when it changes to the bootloader screen - the 3 coloured one) then you don't have to press anything on the install utility on your pc but a status window should open, which mirrors the one displayed on the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] harky:
hi bro i flash liao... eh ask u hor how come the exe is not eng word one lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Hi yes it got to the bootloader screen and HARD SPL had been installed. I'm at the situation now where the phone has moved onto the stauts screen but it has been showing 0% for a good few mins.

There isn't a loading staus on the PC utility window. Just a german Utility screen I guess asking me to agree to something or click next but i dont read german so aren't sure what ones to press?

Am I meant to press anything or just leave it be?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Don't press anything, it will update itself and go until 100%.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I borrowed bepe's enterloader which is in german. It skipped everything and goes straight into flashing the rom...LOL..:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Ok it's been on 0% for at least 17 mins now.

There doesn't seem to be any connection between the Phone and the PC. Is it meant to show one on screen, it seemed to make that turning off noise that the usb makes as I ran the ROM.EXE file.

The german utility window is still up, no idea what its askin me do to. Probably askin me to connect or something.

Should I just unplug the whole thing and re-set and try again?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:
how about the Diamond ? still in tricolor or any % progress with white background ? :eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
OK it must encounter an error. Unplug the USB and restart the flashing process again...

This time, after plug in choose connect with PC without activesync. Then click ROM.exe and let the computer do the rest, no need to press anything.. Good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
No progress, been on 0% for well over 20 mins.

I'm going to try again.

Will update.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Yes, please do... after clicking ROM.exe, don't touch anything until the update go 100% and reset your diamond...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] weenween:
Dear Bro SB,

Just flashed the ROM (v4.0 Lite). All went well. However, the lag in TF3D is very bad. It was super fast in v3.2.

Did some tweaking and it was faster but not as fast as v3.2.

(* not a complaint but an observation). I still like the ROMs you cooked. Keep up the wonderful work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Ok so do you mean connect via USB rather then ActiveSync?

I dont need to run the OliNex Hard-SPL thing again do I?

Just go straight for the ROM.exe of your file?

Thanks, Roy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Nope, v4.0 Lite is much faster than v3.0... No further tweakings is required. Try a hard reset or re-flash the ROM again... You can see the review of v4.0 in youtube done by andrewloh HERE.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Yes, no need to run OliNex's Unsigned HardSPL 1.40 again...

1. Plug in your USB cable to the PC.

2. When activesync, choose connection without setting up in Vista or press "Cancel" in XP

3. Open the extracted rom folder and run ROM.exe from within the folder

4. Now watch the PC does the magic (4-colour screen, grey screen, etc...)for about 10 mins

5. It will automatically update to 100% and then it reset your Diamond..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jll3:
Swiftblade, this rom is great, really appreciate your hardwork, thanks...

Btw, notice that the bluetooth icon on top was missing. But after enabled the original phone skin, the icon came back.

I nearly bought a new bluetooth headset because rom 1.37 keeps switching off bluetooth when it goes into sleep mode, that caused my bluetooth headset to auto switch off as well, and when a call comes, need to switch on the headset and wait for it to connect with the phone, it is very troublesome especially while driving.

Now all of my problems solved, your rom works great... keep up the good work!

Btw, 1 question, is there any way to let new sms to be appear automatically on main screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Glad you like the ROM.:D You mean SMS notification? It will not appear in TF3D. Only works on Today with TF3D turned off... You can't have the cake and eat it, can you? HEHE:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] harky:
hehe thanks for the ROM it really fast! wont lag also
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Will your ROM work if I have the Signed OilNex's SIGNED HARDSPL installed? I believe this is the one on my machine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Nope, you need OliNex's Unsigned HardSPL Developer Edition to flash this ROM. so that's where the problem lies... holy sh**t;)

So go download the Unsigned HardSPL and flash it to your device first... OMG!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] WM_69:
SB, Great Work.

Is the UK Rom that you used in your new version is better/stable than the latest HK version 1.93.831.1?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jll3:
Haha...

Btw, before using your rom, I tried the rom 1.93 HK version, it does has sms notification and with TF3D as well. However, encountered some problems, therefore switch to your rom and found that yours works the best... I've been using this phone for more than a month and until now only I start to like it, hehe....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
**** sorry dude, right its done the Unsigned one, all that went on the phone ok.

I'm now going to attempt to load your ROM, wish me luck

"One giant leap for ROY"

crosses fingers - will update :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I tried both ROMs for a day each and I must say that they are pretty close in term of speed and stability. Just noticed a slightly higher memory leak in HK WWE version as compared with the UK one ROM and thus adopted the UK one..:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Good Luck, ROY!

I cross my fingers and my toes too...keke:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi jll3.. my mistake. SMS notification shows in TF3D but not the actual SMS itself I mean.. *My fingers are typing faster than my brain... HOHOHO:)* Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
Hey Swift,

I've been experiencing some random screen hangs. I would turn on the power after a while and the screen would be this white noise picture (e.g. I woke up this morning to turn on my phone and saw the hang, and realised my spb time alarm failed to ring. I had did a soft reset before I slept too.) This also happened a few times when I was using v3.0 previously.

Here's the programs I've installed, not sure if they are causing any problems. Before I installed your rom, I was using v1.37 and the same programs + tweaks worked fine.

- MapKing 2007

- SPB Finance

- SPB Tme

- MOBIReader

- Coreplayer

- SdkCerts.cab + GreenBatteryFix.cab for percentage battery meter

- Sunglobepath.cab

Tweaks:

- WakeOnSMS via TF3d config

Now the only 2 prime suspects would be SPB Time and the battery fix, since they are the ones that would require active background processes. Anyway, will be doing a hard reset later and reinstall everything minus the sdkcerts + battery fix to determine if that is the cause.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Dude, OH MY GOD!

I did it!

I can't believe it, works a treat.

Hey would you like me to design you a program? Lol, christ I've done no work at all today.

Anyways dude couple of questions as the front display looks a little different. The phone now says 3G Vodafone UK instead of Vodafone, anything changed here?

In the top status bar it now sometimes shows a H when updating weather etc. It then after a bit goes back to the 3G sign, basically whats the H, is it a good thing?

lastly how do I get the 24 hour clock back?

And where can I make a donation to yourself for helping me out?

Ta, Roy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi knave... from your list of apps installed, your suspects of SPB Time and GreenBatteryFix are spot on. PhoneAlarm app is known to caused these types of problems you described so SPB Time being the similar type of app is top of the suspect list. GreenBatteryFix is also known to have some issues but I can't what they are...:p The rest of the apps are perfectly Okay and I have use them too..

So go ahead and do a hard reset and exclude the two apps from your installation list. Try to run it for a day or two to confirm... Cheers

Yup, you do that and do a hard reset..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] megaoctane:
The 3G symbol means that you can make video calls. The H means that you are using HSDPA (it's a very fast connection compared to Edge, gprs og 3g)

To turn off hsdpa, go to Start-settings-connection-advanced network, and remove the tick from "Turn on HSDPA".

To go back to Vodafone, go to start-settings-phone-band and change from auto to GSM.

To change to the 24 hour clock:

start-settings-system-regional settings-time, and change time style to HH:mm:ss.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi Roy... Congratulations! Glad you have successfully updated the ROM:D

1. 3G Vodafone UK should be correct as you are getting the 3G signal now.

2. 'H' means HSUPA is available and it drops back to 3G when it loses it.. perfectly OK

3. To get the 24 hours clock back, fo the Regional Settings and set Region to "English (UK)"

Lastly, I do this as a hobby...:D

Edited: I am slower than megaoctane ... HEHE
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Then dude I thank you greatly, updating to this ROM also seems to have sorted out some of the music issues I had.

You sir are a true gent.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] weenween:
There is a possiblility that the latest version of TF3D config tool (0.6.7) is the culprit that is slowing things down.

Anyway, it is a great ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi weenween... I had tried TF3DConfig v0.51 and v0.6 before and I notice the device slow down when I changed the TABs around and removed some using the apps so I stop using them anymore. So maybe you are correct there.... :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] harky:
eh.. tot of using tf3d to remove some tab...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi harky,,, don't over-tweaks it.. :D Anyway, the slide across the tabs now is so fast, there is no need to remove any one of them anymore.. Just my 2 cents worth.. c",)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] harky:
Hehe oK le..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] oscahie:
I've just finished flashing to 4.0 and also noticed some slowdown in TF3D after applying TF3D Config's tweaks. However after installing the patch to add colors to the tabs (tom colors) it went back to the normal super fast speed :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BigGSim:
No bluetooth

Loving the ROM, it's great. Stable and quick and having no major challenges with it.

Since updating though, when I turn on Bluetooth, I get no Icon in the title bar to show it's on. Maybe I'm being a bit stupid but I can't see anywhere where I can turn that on or off. It's a small thing but It's nice to see whether it's on or off without having to go to settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] oscahie:
I believe that you have to enable the Phone Skin to get that icon to work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] captainsensible2002:
Have had my bluetooth on with phone skin disabled and I get the icon on the title bar
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
what? where? i think i missed this one. can u help please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sergiobaiao:
can you post a reg file with all the registry hacks you made? the reason why i'm asking this is because i use spb backup to restore my appz, and i think the restore procedure is overwriting the reg hacks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zekee:
What do you actually mean by (Tom Colours)? and where did you find the patch?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] westergas:
Seems like a good solid Rom. Flashed it about two days ago and it *was* working fine until my start menu went completely black. Everything else works fine.

Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] witNer:
I agree....

Found the same problem. V3.2 was good and I noticed it had some good speed on the menus. Finding now the menus are slightly sluggish and scrolling through programs is slightly jerky at times. Also find the mail inbox slow to respond and hardly anything in there!

Knowing how good your 3.2 was and this was built upon that, it does suggest something else is creating the slowdown......TF3D most likely.

Just a thought, is there a way of removing the TF3D config tool or reverting back to the older version? Might be tempted to uninstall it for now and then try to apply the tweaks manually via reg edit.

Finally, does anyone else notice the tab menus which scrollup are animated? Looking at the TF3D config it should be disabled by default yet it doesn't appear to be? Could be me or I'm looking at the wrong setting!! :)

Love your ROMS Swiftblade and certainly much more stable than others I've tried! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adrian_vindel:
Active Sync/

Hi I have flashed your rom, first of all i have to say that is pretty fast, i have just found one issue, at least on my diamond, sometimes it hang's up, when i connect it via usb to my laptop, i have to remove the battery because it freezes sometimes, just after i disconect it from the pc.

has anyone had this issue¿?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I don't have that problem and the ROM is running in the device for almost 4 days. It is likely to be some 3rd party apps that you installed or registry tweaks that were done that caused it. Try to un-install the last few apps or tweaks you have done if you still remember. If not, do a hard reset and get back your clean ROM status.

Try soft resetting the device and see whether it works. Do a hard reset if still cannot... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Thank you for the support. It is definitely the TF3DConfig app that caused the slowdown.. I had stopped using it since v0.51 which is the reason I removed it from the ROM. Perhaps you can register the problems to the developer sushilange in his thread so he can remedy it in his next updates. It is a good tweaking tool and I wish to have it too without causing problems...:D Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] oscahie:
Sure, is this cab:

http://tom.x-files.lv/Cabs/Tom_manila_color.cab

Basically it adds some colored icons to all the tabs, looks cool to me :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stuartforrest:
Corrupt menus since installing Swiftbl.

I have installed Swiftbl 4.0 and cannot believe how much better my diamond is.All the slowness and jerkiness has gone but I have a little problem.

I now get Corrupt sometimes but then if I scroll left or right through TF3D it seems to correct itself. Also after I restart the phone the screen flickers and shakes slightly for a while then seems to sort itself out. Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi stuartforrest.. you have one of the few Diamonds which has a slightly different dsiplay screen and the current SPL is the cause of it.

To remedy it, download and install the HardSPL_OliNex137_Unsigned developed by cmonex from HERE.

After flashing it, the flickering and corrupted menu should be gone... :D Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] detroix:
court forms.. hmmm

anyway seems like its to do with the use of hard-spl.. the screen flickering issue..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stuartforrest:
Thanks for the reply. I suspected I needed 1.37 as I read that forum last night but I am not sure how to install it. There seems to be a 2mb download that contains the romupdateutility and in the 1.37 downlaod there is just an nbh file. Do I need to use the hard spl diamond olinex update as it is or do I need to replace the .nbh file with the 1.37 one then run the update?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] witNer:
Thanks oscahie - Like the look, nice simple use of colour for the icons. Does appear to be a slight bit quicker but could be wrong.

Does anyone know how to turn off the TF3D fade in and out effect and especially on the menus as it's that which is making mine slightly more slower than I'd like!! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blackduke77:
This ROM has been the best so far that i have used, but i just relised i have lost me Vodafone Sat Nav.

Does anyone have the cab for that or a alternative

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Roy_Drage:
Yeah it's the only thing I'm missing as well, wouldn't mind having it back.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
You don't have to do anything else. Just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe to flash the NBH file to your device and it's done... Good Luck1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I am afraid that it is only found in the stock Vodafone ROM which I don't have and I doubt is available in the forum...:( Can't help you here... Sorry.:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Which ROM are you having? 1.37.xxx.xx?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stuartforrest:
But there isnt a romupdateutility.exe in the download I have been doing there is just a RUU_Signed.nbh file in the zip. You cant run those on their own can you?

I tried doing what I suggested (which was clearly worng :)) and now my phone has reset and is currently going the the setup and customisation process. I am baffled how I put it onto the 1.37 hardspl. Sorry if I am being thick but I must be missing something here.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ady_uaic:
please help: i've installed this rom, is so good, but i have a problem: i can't hear nothing when i'm talking at the phone what can i do? pleaseee
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stuartforrest:
Oh its OK. When I was going through the process is said it was putting it back to 1.00 but when I have checked afterwards it is now 1.37 Olinex so that seems to have done the trick. See if my screen flicker has gone away now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey, are you at the right place? I see that you have a HTC Touch in your signature...:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ady_uaic:
yeap. i'm in the right place. today i've brought this device, diamond. i'm modifying now the signature.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] witNer:
I'm using your latest build v4.0.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Okay, me bad..;) So you just bought it.. try removing the original screen protector if you have not done so. It's covering the speaker..:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ady_uaic:
allready done that. i'm installing another rom now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] witNer:
Have you tried increasing the volume using the volume control buttons on the left hand side of the phone? Might be your system volume/call volume is set very low?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ady_uaic:
obviously that was the first thing..pushing up the volum control button.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] witNer:
Just wanted to check in case the volume was accidentily turned down or something..... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
I encountered the hang today again. And I did not install SPB Time nor GreenBattery Fix this time.

Now I suspect its due to the hiding of the TF3D tabs via the TF3D config tool (I had disabled the Email, Internet and music tabs) before this. Anyway, have re-enabled the tabs back and will monitor again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
and just to make sure i'm doing another hard reset as i'm typing this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
