[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nushuth:
I just reached my goal to cook a personal ROM, with energy saving and speed in mind. I'm using it for a couple of week without any problems

If anyone are interested in it, i will share it with you.

i'm not interested in last build/ last software version for now, but simply a fast, powerful and energy saver italian ROM.

My second goal is to create a "community ROM" with help from italian people with all software WE need. I think WE can do it!

Version rules:

all stable release will have "pair" number (I.E.: 0.4, 0.6 0.8, and eventually with some patch similar to "0.4.1", "0.4.2")

unstable, devel branch will not be released, but will have unpair version number (I.E. 0.3, 0.5. 0.7)

current stage: V0.4a "RED FLAG"

UPDATE: V 0.4.2 "GANDALF" (same as RED FLAG plus Internet Sharing and windows Live)

changelog from V0.3:

1) resolved issue N.3. now Diamond reboot itself after customization tasks.

2) Added "chiara" and "Roberto" TomTom voices. previously you are required to download from internet.

3) changed RSS default feed to RSShub to some italian intersting feed (trepubblica.it, beppegrillo.it, punto-informatico, Byoblu blog)

4) Rss Hub now store channel data in internal memory (\\program Files\RSS Hub\Channeldata) so you are able to connect Diamond as storage device to your PC with no more error message

5) Removed Sim Access via Bluetooth (anyone with a bluetooth CAR with support for it?)

N.B.: to help me with test, please use this rom without any system/registry/config/tweaks modification for at least 1-2 days.

also please post your personal changes so i may add in a future release.

If you want to try RSS hub modification, pleae backup and remove your previous channel data from \\memorizzazione interna\program files\RSS Hub

You may want to use another trick to increase battery life:

Go to Control panel -> System -> Battery -> backlight. disable auto, then decrease value when not connected.

(display uses from 40 to 70% of energy)

use Shapss Advanced Config to enable all minor Powersaving tweaks

Known issue:

1) There is a "customer satisfaction" links in control panel (but obviously it does not work)

2) I can't integrate WOW_HD for now, because i does not load the driver. so you need to install as a separate CABS

3) After first reboot, some HTC customization task start. When finished, you will see a black, empty today screen. you need a manual soft reset to start manila
