We trust that you are on-top of new software versions before any of us ludites know anything about them, so apologies if this is pointing out what you already know!

Couple of quick fixes:

Folder "Multi Media" should be one word "Multimedia"

Shortcut "Pim_Backup" does not require underscore and should be upper-case for acronym "PIM Backup"

(sorry don't mean to sound like an English teacher here!)​

thanks for the tip I thought I had already flashed spl 1.93 but I give it a shot, since yesterday not seen any screen problems but I prob have to wait a few days to see. thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NikPraskaton:
Dutty you are great!

This must be sticky or posted under hard SPL-s thread! Ill give it a try and see if there was any improvement in my HTC after flashing 1.93 SPL from Olinex. Hope this has something to do with my double sms sending issue..

v2.2 serious problems.

Alright. Here we go: i'm using Dutty's roms for years (Kaiser before) and never had a problem like that.

As i got my Diamond ab 3 weeks ago first i updated to v1.8 with radio included. Everything was great. Then after week v2.0 - great again. And i wouldn't do update to v2.2 but i discovered it has microsoft voice commands which i loved in kaiser (as i am using BT headphones all the time for music and calls). So i updated to v2.2 msvc and guess what: bt music worked to first soft reset. I flashed my phone 5 times, always hard reset etc. Music works ok on normal headphones but when using BT it drops twice a second. I've tried all possible registry configurations. Doesn't work. (i havn't tested gps on that rom) So i decided to flash to v2.2 cvsd. Music via BT works ok so i tested other features. And here it comes. Gps doesn't work. It sees sats but dont get any info (gps tool graph: red and flat). I know from kaiser its a radio error. So i reflashed 07 again. And again. After second one i couldn't align my screen, everything got messed out.

After spending all sat and half sun on it i flashed back to v2.0, reflashed 07 radio and everything works great again. Any ideas what might have happened? Solutions? I'd like to go with Duttys updates.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catdog:
I am personally against mindless flashing of Diamond because the GPS does not work. (Kaiser might have been the same scenario, but I never had it so do not know for sure :-) There might be some link between the radio/rom version that affects the speed and performance of the GPS but so far I came across only one ROM that made the GPS to loose the lock after 2 minutes in use and the performance was dire.

You can always get a fix if you clear the GPS memory, perform a cold start and power cycle the Diamond. And usually the GPS works perfectly fine until the next firmware flash. Why it gets screwed up after the firmware upgrade is another story but as long as you follow the three clean-up steps you can always fix it. On some ROM's you may need to perform this procedure again after a few days in use.

I am using various GPS devices for a long time and the Diamond one is definitively one of the most cumbersome ones, I would prefer SiRF III chipset instead of that shaky Qualcomm solution. It is a bit like the VIA motherboard chipset compared to Intel. It generally works but crashes from time to time- and it is cheaper.

All of my GPS devices lost sensitivity over time, usually it takes a couple of years when you notice that it takes longer to fix and the GPS plots the same journey less accurately. Considering that Diamond is a mobile device I would imaging that the GPS life would be even less impressive but this can be verified only if people stop flashing and do cold starts instead.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tepss:
I only flash it when i upgrade it or if i need to but thanks for calling it mindless.

Anyway as i've mentioned i have tried everything i knew about dealing with gps in windows devices. As i flashed it with radio it started to work perfect so there was someting wrong with it. Radio might got somehow messed up when BT problems started on v2.2 with mvsc - just thinking about possiblities.

On Kaiser i had that twice (on 2 different devices) but a lot of people had it to. Radio reflashing solved the problem always.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catdog:
Sorry, I did not mean to be rude, I read a few posts from people endlessly flashing back and forth to fix the GPS and it was generally with them in mind when I wrote this comment :-)

The thing with GPS is that it needs to fetch the almanac and ephemeris after the cold start and this is not happening when you cannot get the fix. Since clearing the data and cold starting the GPS essentially erases the two and it ALWAYS worked for me using various radios and ROM's I think that the corruption of the data in either or both data sets causes the fix difficulties. By flashing the radio you also erase the old settings hence this is why it works. There is a slight chance that the mobile radio unit of the Diamond gets in the way of the GPS signal through interference but this is a pure speculation.

I think that it is actually the almanac that gets corrupted and the update algorithm does not work properly hence no new almanac data nor approximate fix through triangulation can resolve it. I was looking at the data that the GPS passes through its port and it is obvious that the almanac is not being properly interpreted and the system goes into some sort of tantrum or rather endless error loop.

To make the matters even worse the GPS in Diamond sometimes hangs and does not accept cold start at all and this is when it becomes really confusing since the only way to tell that the cold start was executed is by reading the GPS data stream. One out of four I have to power cycle the diamond for the GPS to accept the cold start. And it seems to be more frequent with certain ROM revisions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] logger:
True but it is not an intuitive way to wake it up. The very fact that you felt the need to enlighten people of this unknown feature is in itself QED that it is not intuitive. It is not something people would naturally think to do. Fumble around pressing any button except the one that will kill the call.

If tilt and light sensor are used to sleep the phone (to show how damned clever it is) then surely the could implement the reverse to wake it. That would be intuitive and clever design.

Probably because people do not want to be constrained by what they consider to be bad design. Or heaven forbid - being told by others how they should use their phone. Their preference would be to set their phone up so it works in a way that suits them.

Of course it is not a very difficult task in principle. However it as quite possible to inadvertently press the terminate call button.

Envisage yourself mid call when you want to quickly check call duration without disrupting your conversation. Any other phone you pull it away form your ear momentarily, read the duration on screen and place it back to your ear. Takes about 2 seconds. Try doing this in a darkened room with your Diamond and you might start to understand why some people want to turn off the sleep screen in call feature.

That could easily be addressed by locking the screen in the call while not turning it off.

I am quite confident that if some one does come up with a means to realiably prevent "screen off during call" it will be popular and sought after. It is a feature I would happily pay for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xanatos2008:
Dutty, in 2.1 there was this "inverse scrolling bug" coming from the new os and u created a cab fixing that. I wonder if it would be possible to create a cab doing exactly what the os did, reverse scrolling, because in my opinion that is the most intuitive way.

Besides that your 2.2 works perfect for me. It's stable, a lot faster than my stock o2 rom and i couldn't find any bugs yet. Thanks for that great achievement.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
Hey bro, Thanks for sharing your views on the infamous Sleep_During_Call pain in the neck.

While I find myself in agreement with most of your post, I think a few words must be said:

My post was not intended to be intuitive. It was rather an attempt to share a simple (rather unknown) feature with mortals like myself - a remedy for the wound at a time when the ultimate remedy has not yet been discovered.

To be honest, I didn't know that people would like to have the feature off so that they could "check call duration" during the call. Personally, I want the phone NOT to sleep during call mainly because I might want to do other things (say, use the features such as Mute, Hold, Speakerphone ... or more importantly , to use the Keypad to enter key codes during automated calls such as telephone banking ...etc.).

Those who invented this feature, had indeed thought of disabling it (in the registery by chaning the value from 1 to 0) but the sad thing is that the reverse solution seems not to be working in newer OS builds. Why? I don't know. I am sure you remember that this old feature could easily be reversed in the older Windows versions (on Hermes or Kaiser ...). Apparently, There's something in the nature of the newer OS builds that prevents those specific values in the registery to stay put.

Like yourself, I'm eagerly waiting for a solution by one of our talented developers/hackers. But until that day, I thought that it would be helpful for less techy guys (like myself) to know that they could wake the phone up by pressing those buttons.

Cheers

Problems with v2.2, calls not connecting etc

Hi,

I've been using Duttys ROMs for ages now, all been working fine.

Since upgrading to v2.2 I've had endless problem dialing out and also receiving calls.

My radio rom has been the same for a while now - 1.00.25.07 and no problem with GPS or anything else.

After a weekend of problems - taking 30mins of dialing to get a line out - and then the phone dropping the connection 30 seconds in.

- I flashed the phone back to v2.0 - and all seems to be working well.

Has anyone else had connection problems with v2.2?

Also, since about v2, I can't select multiple items in my inbox - only one at a time, anyone else had this?

I tried changing HARD SPL version too - was on 1.24 and now on 1.93 but it didn't make any difference.

Some of these problems might be Vodafone in the UK, but not all of them!

Cheers

Simon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brevi:
Everything working as it should with my device.

HTC Diamond

Dutty v2.2 MSVC downloaded from Rapidshare

Radio xx.07

Hardspl 1.34

I did 6 Hardresets after flashing. As another user pointed out, this made his device run much faster. I have to say, the speed increase is very noticable. Guess the reason is defragmentation of memory.

So far had absolutely no problems with Dutty's v2.2. Good job Dutty!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
believe me mate, if people had "endless problems dialing out and also receiving calls" on V2.2 , they would have taken Dutty to court by now:D

could you tell us "HOW" you downloaded V2.2 ? Was it a fast smooth download or one of those slow intermittent ones?

it might sound crazy but bad or slow downloads of the rom will cause various strange problems once you flash that rom.

Also, as Brevi pointed out correctly, a few HR right after the flash will make a big difference.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SiyB:
Download was fine, and WinRAR would have picked up a CRC problem if the download was faulty, I've also performed lots of hard resets on the device.

Anyhow, I have downloaded 2.2 and flashed it a few times now - just to make sure.

Been running 2.0 all day with no problems dialing out or taking calls - very strange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kslwong:
Wondering when 2.3 comes out ...... :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dolled:
I totally agree that if many others would have had call problems with v2.2, there would have been a lot of people screaming on the forum, but stating that :

"it might sound crazy but bad or slow downloads of the rom will cause various strange problems once you flash that rom."

Well..... What can I say.... NO NO NO. If you have it downloaded and it extracts fine. Then IT IS OK.... (You are actually downloading ones and zeros. Are you saying if there is poor download speed that some of the zero's became one's..... yeah right )

I mean: Yes, I almost agree: It does not sound crazy, it is crazy :):):)

Smaller Manilla Dialler

Hi Dutty, I'm just messing with some diallers and have bunged on the one found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=403766&page=2 I just thought I'd mention it here because it uses somewhat less memory and might be worth considering replacing the standard manilla dialler in a rom build, but what the hell do I know.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
hey Dolfren , in know what you're saying bro. but listen: about 2 months ago I was on holiday (in a country with some of the most sluggish internet connection on earth; dial-up at 2kb/s !). I downloaded a Garmin rom for my kaiser and Dutty's V1.3 for Diamond - in 5 and 8 hours respectively !

both devices were plagued with numerous bugs and issues (mostly terrible lockups and freezes)- to the point that I was on the verge of suicide:D Finally, I picked up my nokia sirocco and gave up using the two devices during the holiday altogether.

upon my return back home to London, i downloaded EXACTLY THE SAME roms (this time with superfast broadband) and didn't have ANY of those problems with any of the two devices.

So although in theory it's all 0s & 1s we're dealing with, but I could find an explanation for what I'd experienced. Besides, it seems that I'm not the odd one out on this subject of "bad download". I guess some other people have also raised the issue and warned about "bad downloads".

it's crazy, I agree. but it somehow affects our devices. I might be wrong , I don't know.

sip popup menu

I am using dutty's 2.2 full, radio .08. everything works perfectly so far except one thing: when I try to switch to a different sip (software input panel), a menu pops up with a list of input methods. sometimes it shows a list with up and down buttons on the top and bottom of the list, sometimes it shows just a list without these two buttons, sometimes it flashes these two once or twice then ends with either. I can live with this but sooner or later the pop up menu does not pop up any more : nothing happens any more when push the little triangle for popping up the sip menu, unless after a soft reset. anyone experiences the same ? any advice is appreciated.
