Hey there

Thanks for some really good feedback to my thread, I was hoping for a discussion just like this. Here's some responses to your comments:

This is true and thanks for reminding me about it.

Still not ideal for making the job automated and painless though - say, for example I'm reading a text message from Bob and it reminds me that I need to call Jim. If I push the Phone hardware button to bring up the dialler for my speed dials, it won't do this! It will call Bob instead, because this is the default behavior of this button when viewing a text message.

I need a sequence / swipe that works EVERY TIME and calls my favourite people with 1-2 steps maximum. Like I say, it's the main function of a phone so it should be top priority.

Thanks for these insights; very intereesting! I also await the next gen of apps build on WinCE 6, sounds promising!

I haven't tried the dutty ROM yet, but a few people have recommended it so it's definitely next on the list of things to flash. There's a new 'hybrid' dutty ROM out today as well. I think I'll wait for the releases to tail off first and bugs to be fixed.

The one thing that always worries me about ROM flashing is the new bugs that it can introduce over the stock behaviour. As much as I dislike the state HTC have released their ROM in, at least I know it's probably been testing for hundreds of hours.

I think you might have missed the point of my thread. It's a review of the phone as it's intended to be used. I've just paid for the phone and its accompanying software. Ideally I want to be able to use that software.

This is SO true! Another gripe that's occured to me since I originally started the thread. When you try writing a text with the phone on a table and it begins wobbling around you really have to wonder how that one escaped the testing process...

I assume you mean 1.39.xxx.x? Haven't tried any of these yet but, theoretically, the minor version number has gone up by 2, so it should mean major improvements throughout!

There again, maybe they just increment it when they get bored.

Oh, and one last thing I've noticed since I started this thread.. ..the stock radio ROM is also buggy as hell! With the stock ROM I'm getting frequent drop-outs from 3G, rapid switching from 3G to H to E to nothing, occasional crashes and more.

I tried SPB mobile shell today, I guess it's a good replacement until the bugs are ironed out, but if TF3D suffers from form over function, this is definitely function over form until somebody makes a nicer VGA skin! The best one I've found so far is:

Yes I noticed that, it's now a piece of cake to add a new city ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hertc:
Exactly my thoughts, I am one step away from disabling TF3D and installing SPB MS which I successfully used in my previous htc phone. I am not a big fun of all these flip-flops, what matters for me is a much faster processor, camera capable of taking pictures from laptop screen, size of normal phone, and SCREEN which is brilliant. Finally HTS have made a phone which does not need any obvious improvements ..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
Carlos I'm afraid yóu are the one who missed the point here...

The whole point of a Windows Mobile device and specially of a "fancy" HTC device is that you can play with it, put on every program you like, remove everything you like and make it look the YOU want it to look.

If you want navigation: put navigation on it, if you want a nice game: put it on, if you like a fancy animated interface to show off: put it on.

If you don't want it: remove it. You can experiment with all sorts of programs, exciting ROMs, just play around... So YOU decide what you want and how you want it.

It's as simple as that. Microsoft and HTC provide the technology and software (ok, it's still buggy and instabile, but hey its Microsoft, its HTC...). HTC delivers a default TF3D interface and although it's still unstabile I like it very much, if you want another take another.

But on the other hand if you want a fancy device where everyone talks about, with fixed programs and with a predefined interface invented by Apple then you must choose an IPhone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stesa:
don't know why... but more and more i prefear the second and , more better , the third impression instead than the first ..... :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carlosp_uk:
The point is that this thread is called "first impressions". That includes the phone and the pre-installed software. So, it's a review of the phone and the software. Simple as that. I think that's fair, since TouchFlo does pitch itself as an 'all-in-one' UI for browsing contacts, viewing weather, listening to your music, reading your texts, etc. If it doesn't work and you have to disable it, this is a significant flaw as one has to find alternative applications to replace it.

There's nothing wrong with the point that you make, but it's just a separate point entirely. I happen to agree with you. However, as I say the point of this thread is to review the phone and the TouchFlo software that accompanies it!

I don't believe that companies that make millions of pounds in profit should be given this sort of 'benefit of the doubt' as if they were undergraduate coders or something.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carlosp_uk:
I know exactly what you mean!

I've re-flashed to the latest TLR3 ROM at the moment; TFL3D feels just about fast enough to use without too much hassle, and less random hang-ups. The programs menu scrolls with no lag, it's very nearly as it should be.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
I'm the last one to give these companies the benefit of the doubt. What I meant was pure cynical: these firms (especially Microsoft) have a large history or buggy operating systems and software... (so why would it be any better nowadays?)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LSshock:
i hate this phone so much..

im stuck using it for 2years

hoping some great developers will save the diamond and lower my stress level
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wontcachme:
Why do you hate it so much? I think its a great phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joemax:
Its a very cool phone... the keyboard can be frustrating especially near the edges but its great.

Well built, amazingly small for what it does and the screen is drop dead good.

Battery is crap agree, but the extended should be out soon and will not make it that much thicker.

The devs are working harder than hard things on bringing more cool to the Diamond...

Best mod I have made with Advanced Config has been the touch sensitivity, makes it more natural to use and it feels more Touch than Stab now :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jkr284:
No there really is a 193.xxx.x rom and its great!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carlosp_uk:
Bye bye love, bye bye hapiness..

It is with some sadness that I can say, following my first post when I created this thread, I have had enough.

3 ROM flashes later and it still continues to annoy me on a daily basis - I'm sick of... pushing the keypad and accidentally closing the window, swiping along the icons at the bottom and missing the one that I want, waiting ages for things to happen, etc, etc, etc. It nearly had me. Very nearly.

So... after 10 years developing for and using Windows Mobile devices...

I got the iPhone 3G at the weekend.

I decided to ditch the desire to tweak, the desire to get under the bonnet all the time, and just look at things from an everyday, user-based point of view. And you know, once you let go, it's like a whole new world. Sure, the iPhone lacks a few of the features of the Diamond, but this is more than made up for by the ease of use. Honestly, everything just 'works', quickly and effectively. I shall devote my development time to Silverlight programming or something instead.

So, after 10 years of checking this site pretty much every day, I guess I won't have much reason to post here any more, so I'm graciously going to say goodbye, farewell, and maybe see you all again here one day... ...when HTC brings something out to grab my attention again, or I miss the tweaking bug!

Fond farewells

Carlos
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] badpanda:
Hey team,

Having a bit of an issue with my OnePlus 6T.

On a fresh OOS 10.3.2 I cannot pass cts Profile with latest version of Magisk 2.4, it works perfect with Magisk 2.3 and both cts profile and basic integrity passes as true. But with the latest version of Magisk 2.4 no matter what I do I always get cts Profile: false...

I followed same installation procedures as always, flash magisk>downloads>+>osmosis BusyBox>install>reboot.

The back again to Magisk the install magiskhide props config then reboot, then after boot go to termix terminal and su>grant>props> chose finger print etc etc... Chose the one for OnePlus 6t android 10 install and reboot and still after boot the cts profile is false! Have tried everything and nothing with latest Magisk 2.4 but if I uninstall everything all modules and Magisk properly and flash magisk but this time the older version of Magisk 2.3 everything works fine after following all mentioned steps above and now cts profile is true and everything checks.

So is this a known issue with latest version of Magisk?

If so is there a workaround to be able to update to latest version? Or I'm I doing something wrong here. Trust me I googled it couldn't find anything in specific.

I thank you for your time in advance!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
Magisk hide is off by default in now in version 20.4, it was enabled in 20.3. make sure you are enabling it on 20.4. See my Guide Installing Lineage, Section 5 Very Optional Magisk. I bring this up. The Android 10 fingerprint no longer passes reliably. You need to choose the Android 9 one.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

See this post about the change to Magism. There are changes coming that work arounds need to be found for otherwise undetected root / unlocked bootloaders, will no longer be a thing.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] badpanda:
Hey thank you for your answer/ it helped me tremendously! I was able to enable magiskhide and now both are true.

For now the android 10 fingerprint for OnePlus 6t passes fine as both true, my understanding is that will change soon..?

Thank you for the link, very good information.

So that means Magisk will eventually completely not work to pass Google certificates..? Once Google enforces the new key rules?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] badpanda:
[MENTION=3720814]OhioYJ[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
Essentially. Basically if no new work around is found before this happens Magisk would provide root, but any app that wants to look for root will know about it. Google flipped the switch a while back, but then had to reverse course some because some OEMs hadn't implemented things correctly.

I flashed a Redmi 5 plus with lineage 17 successfully then i rooted it. I wanted to install Revolut and other banking apps but they don't work with root so tried to unroot but was not possible as it got corrupted so reflashed it back to stock rom android 8.1 and worked fine.

I tried again to flash Lineage 17, 16 and also Paranoid Android but each time I boot put the screen turns off. The boot seems to start up but the screen is off.

I reflashed it back to stock rom and it gave me an error on startup saying "Find Device Storage Corrupted, Your Device is Unsafe Now" and keeps rebooting.

Any clues?

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
It seems you don't have adb correctly installed, check this tutorial HERE.

When you open your command line/powershell, you must be sure you are inside the folder that contains the "adb" executable file, you can do this by typing (on Windows) "cd PATH_TO_FOLDER", where PATH_TO_FOLDER is where you extracted the adb files :)
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xHvlios:
I did that. I installed the 15 second installer and it also shows my device when i type adb devices. I'll try again tho

Instead of using debloat with powershell, is using Oppo Toolbox a good way?

More importantly, how is battery life after such a huge debloat?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
Sorry it took me so long to answer, regarding the Oppo Toolbox I never used it so I have honestly no idea.

Battery after debloating is consideraly better, here's my average:

Notes:

EU ROM - Realme UI (v 1.0), debloated, dark mode, 90Hz, auto brightness, GPS, NFC, WiFi, LTE, always on display and Netguard firewall (VPN service)

Heavy usage, screen always on, several benchmarks, gaming, etc: ~6 hours

Moderate usage (driving to work and back with gps and music (~30 km), messaging, camera, youtube, etc..), around 8 hours of screen on time: ~2 days

Overnight discharge (7 hours): ~4%
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Social_Work:
[MENTION=2965648]Mywk[/MENTION]

I have some questions about the debloatet apps.

How many One Ui and Google features doesn't work after the deleat. It's logical that I can't use Gmail after deleting. I mean some features like to see the last picture in the camera app. And kann you push them back with ADB. I don't know how to copy and save the apps bevor deleting.

And another problem in my opinion is the next firmware update. I deleted the Samsung Bloatwarere on the Galaxy S9 and after the firmware update the system crashed sometimes. I had to push theme back, install the firmware and delete them after the update is ready.

I want to remove all the Google stuff, but need the Google service for some apps. And I want to remove all realme bloatwere but doesn't want problems with the stability from One Ui.

A lot of questions and I hope you can give me an adwise for this.

Best regards
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
I can only speak for the Realme UI (v 1.0) and that exact list I posted, I have zero stability problems, if you remove everything except the Gallery3D (it's the native Gallery app and the Camera app won't work properly without it), you have all the "standard" functionality, including Google store/services/pay.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] FortMike:
Hi [MENTION=2965648]Mywk[/MENTION], maybe i'm asking too much but could you put a quick description per app?

something like this: com.coloros.weather2 = weather

this would help me know exactly what I'm disabling because not all packages are easy to pair with their app. A google search doesn't always help find the information I'm looking for.

Thanks

Special thanks to you for this list! I only uninstall all google apps that I dont need. Now I want to uninstall youtube, but I dont find it. Can you tell me please wich one it is? Or isn`t it in the list?

And I installed Netguard Pro and be very happy with that. I have 48 hours with 8 hours SOT without uninstalling google apps. It´s a lot of traffic with the Realme apps. But I dont want to delate them without understanding what i do. How do you know these apps in the list? Can you tell me the way to understand that. And is there a way that you can split the list with realy important to uninstall and Realme apps that be better in the system for some features. And what is going on when I installing a system update? Are the apps back?

You see ....a lot of questions....I hope you have the time to answere.

Thanks for your support

Problem solved:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

youtube is running in the background with an updateprocess of the playstore. I kill all proceses and than it works.

I think youtube is missing in your list.

Best regards
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
Hi FortMike, unfortunately I'm not aware of a adb command that can translate the app package name to the app name, doing it by hand would require time that I don't have :(

The Realme apps consume an unnecessary amount battery and traffic, I really didn't find any drawback of just disabling all on the list (so far).

A system update "should" not trigger the apps to be re-installed for the user, only updated, this however depends on how they release their updates, if they force a user re-install then we have to run the list again.

Glad you found your solution, I will add youtube to the list :good:
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Social_Work:
****..... Yesterday I removed the most Google applications and now my GPS did dent sync with any app.

After a long time of testing it works now. You have to start the high energy modus and have to reboot the phone. After a lot of reboots and downloading satstas and other GPS apps they load the stats of the satellites it works now.

But I think the solver is the high power mode in the battery option.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
My GPS is working fine with all the removed stuff (both Google Maps and Waze) so it's definitively the power saving mode ;)
