1.6's Black theme on first boot!

Hmmm thanks for confirming Dutty, though I certainly never experienced issues changing theme or colours on 1.6 with your 'custom' black scheme at first boot. That was on my opinion a better colour scheme to the default HTC_Black.tsk that is auto-loaded in 1.8 and stock roms and remains a better 'feature' of 1.6.

Perhaps someone more experienced with theme creation could turn the attached reg file into a .tsk theme for anyone like me who wants the 1.6 colour scheme - as the 1.8/stock (HTC_Black.tsk) causes issues with white-on-white selected menu texts. Could anyone who would like this please let us know.

Just my tuppence.

Regards,

Adam

Complete/Ultra Edition rom.

Morning Dutty, I have a request that I hope you will be open to considering.

I know you do not want to do other languages and hence the separate roms from Tom. Obviously you therefore also wouldn't want to be creating too many 'variants' of the same rom with differing contents.

Currently we have the Lite, UltraLite, MSVC & Full. There are two variants for those who like less and less - and I propose an edition for those who either need more and more, or would like a completist ROM. This could actually probably replace the MSVC-specific edition?

It would certainly be exceptionally useful for those who rely on certain other 'productive or usable' elements of the stock roms to have these included in another edition of yours... say a "Complete/Ultra" edition with the latest 'stock' OEM editions of the following:

Adobe Reader LE

MS OneNote Mobile

JBlend (or JBed)

Flash Lite

All Ringtones/Alarms/Sounds

Sample Images (not necessarily the music though!)

Content written to Internal Storage on flashing as per stock roms

HTC Zip maybe not required as functionality is in Pocket RAR (Unless both can co-exist to handle the attachment bug without associating archives to Pocket RAR)

MS Voice Command

Assume Cyberon VC/VSD cannot co-exist with each other or MSVC?

Perhaps .Net CF 2 (in additon to 3.5 - with that small switcher util) for the few applications which refuse to work with .net3 and seem to be hardcoded for max v2. (this is not a necessity though)

Anything else removed in your rom but supplied in an HTC stock rom - that is actually productive!

Not really necessary to include Customer Feedback, AutoUpdate, Welcome, etc as these are simply not useful, not productive or sometimes not even useable!

Basically a best of both worlds ROM with all your changes, tweaks, settings, extra apps and of course latest version OEM apps - together with all the OEM stuff you removed from the stock roms.

If you're even open to adding a few other very useful tools from this forum (from the hundreds available) I'd say the following deserve consideration for ROM inclusion as they usually go to Device memory anyway rather than G-sensor Games and other stuff which users like to go to Storage. In order of preference:

PPCPimBackup

Advanced Configuration Tool 3.1

GSen v1.7 (when working)

MSS Converter

Klaxon

SSMaPa

holyfox's_poweroff-diamond (PSShutXP mapped to power button)

Diamond Profile Switcher

Diamond Shaker

Paint (back in or replace with another like PocketPicture)

AppToDate (back in)

Diamond Tweak 0.5 (maybe)

Scroll Launcher

StopWatch

VipRingTone (maybe)

SpbScreenshot (is it better that PocketScreen?)

SynchroTime (like in Tom's)

(S2P/S2V/S2U2, iContact, Fabliv Action Screen, Softkeymanager, Batti all excluded as functionality exists elsewhere or they adjust/rely on changed user setting upon install)

Hope this is at all agreeable, feedback and opinion always appreciated from other users too.

Kind regards,

Adam

QUOTE ALL.

It would be awesome
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
Tend to disagree - though respect eachothers opinion.

In fact - this request from ahirshfield start to look like a romondemand - a project patented an registered by myself :):D (true) www.romondemand.com .

(you should talk to me that I can take my commision hehe)

The purpose of Dutty's Rom's is

to offer stable and fast ROM's

though some applic's suggested are a no-go (Tweaker tools are not required -or certainly not needed being baked in the ROM as Dutty's reg tweaks are already done upfront )

Other tools like Klaxon - Shaker - Stopwatch (who needs that one??) are either still buggy , not finalized yet or rubish.

Too avoid that we got tons of mails in the ROM thread related to all such a 3rd party applic's I do suggest to keep them as cab's outside the ROM.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
My purpose making roms is to get a very stable rom with less 3rd apps which could cause conflict with the rom, which hence a rom issues but a third party issue, At the moment I am working on the new build but just making sure i test it fully for any bugs and so forth. gsen 1.7 is working now , all other apps can be installed by cabs.

Chinese support in this ROM

Good morning guys,

Sorry if this topic has been brought up but since it's over 200 pages long, I didnt go through them :).

I'm tempted to try this ROM has it has many cool stuff incorporated so my question is if Chinese language supported in this ROM or will you consider adding support?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
Adam, there is always place for a good debate and as you, many of us dweep with Dutty's expertise looking forward to flash each time better ROM's (with indeed- all the latest & stable- builds inside and bug-free rudimentary 3rd party (OEM) applications)

So, some extra thoughts on your extended responses :):

Applic's on-board or not:

The most argued point is either to include applic's or not in another version of the cooked ROM :

This is expected to give for most users problems when they want to install an update of that certain applic. As the applic is embedded in the ROM (and if not supported by ApptoDate) running a new cab will not guarantee overwriting the old one ( Root directory chnges occuring in double applic.icons and so on) the average user might not be skilled to remove the obsolete settings etc.

For sure it will undermine speed and stability as we all observe when adding applic's after a fresh flash

Tweaking while cooking:

I agree with your point that tweaking soft

can be added

- only if proven to work - (I refer to the issue with SMS sent bubble which is now enabled by default (upon your request) but AvdConf3.0 does not offer the possibility to disable it (which Tweak 0.5 might do)

So, either the ROM should be non-tweaked (though that would undermine the Chef's know-how-to-optimize) and all tweak program's added - letting users play around to find the optimal settings by themselves -

Or Chef still tweaks certain settings directly and includes only rudimentary -simple- tweaks as done now (enlarge bar - threaded-classic SMS)

Guess there is no right or wrong and is one of the differences between Chefs which let users choose A-B or C ROM's depending their needs.

"Speed" seems to be the magic word when comparing ROM's for most users - (Pietreccu's benchmarks) and presumably all Chef's want to offer their latest speedy versions (no one will admit that there is a bit of competition among Chefs hehe) -

That is why we now have more Stripped -Naked- lite and almost 0 byte empty ROM's than ever before, which more and more users seems to flash allowing them to run their own preference cab's.

As for TF3D :

- Dutty choosed not to include it in Lite- though TF3D is THE differentiator vs. other PC mobile phones - and mostly the Unique proposition when lots of us bought the Diamond I guess.

Regardless which ROM's Dutty will cook further on - including veggies - sauces & toppings or whatever - I will stick to them as they fit my daily requirements currently best.

And if they are not too my taste , I might go for another free meal in a near-bye Restaurant :p

With best regards -

update

Like what I said before I'm working on the new rom slowly, dont want to rush the release, I like always my next rom to be better for sstability, speed and useable also trying to fix any issues from v1.8, like sms sesnt bubble not been able to disable, so i will look into it, some stuff already updated and some stuff been fix, small fixes there and here but still testing the new build for any abnormalities.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NikPraskaton:
Just take your time man! No one wants you to rush with things.. In every case v1.8 (read: the latest version of your rom) is already awesome (try comparing it with original HTC rom..) So just take your time.. the things are more greater the more you wait for them.. (If that was good written or said becouse my bad english)

What to do, dutty hangs?

Hi all,

not a noob per se - flashed so many Hermes ROMs I can't even count - but now I decided to take the plunge with my new Diamond.

Flashed OliPro's 1.38 (unsigned based on 1.37), was fine.

Now ran the Dutty 1.8 full, and... hangs on 0%. Or at least has been stuck there for some 10 minutes... Now the installer/updater gives me the option of recovery.

Anyone have any idea on why?

Sorry if my search efforts have turned up less than they possibly could, but it is kind of urgent....

THANKS!!!

Reg keys.

Hi D.T.

Also remember to remove that 'A_C' key from HKCU\Software. It looks like a relic from an old install of S2V on your rom! Not causing any problems, just a clean and tidy thing. Might there be any other redundant keys from old software or settings?

Out of interest, how does a rom handle user-changes to default registry keys and values that exist from the time of flashing? Are they totally removed if a user deletes them, and permanently changed if a user alters them after flashing? Or - like files in the rom - are they always really there in the background but can be seemingly overwritten/replaced -though with overwritten rom files, the original will reappear if you delete the user-copied version.

P.S

Is that one of your kids in the background Throy? Cute.

Compact IV Frozen on T-Mobile Splash Screen - HELP

Anyone able to assist. I have searched the forum.

After my compact froze I did a soft reset only to see it hang on the T-Mobile splash screen (white background, pink dots). The ROM details do not even appear in the bottom right hand corner.

I have upgraded my ROM with Hard-SPL, a Radio ROM and Dutty's 1.8 ROM but that was weeks ago.

Not even a Hard-Reset sorts it out.

Cannot see how the new ROM would be causing the problem as it has worked for a few weeks.

Luckily followed all the instructions and have 1.40 Olinex Hard-SPL on the phone. Just need to wait for home so I can plug it into my laptop. What I do from that point on will be the subject of a further search of this board later.

Any assistance?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
So which rom you flashed which caused this, also did you have hardspl installed first before flashing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] waynespa:
Thanks for replying.

I flashed your full version 1.8 over a UK 1.37. HOWEVER this was not before putting on the Hard-SPL 1.40 by Olinex.

As I mentioned in my previous post your ROM has been fantastic and has worked fine for a few weeks. My worry is that the hardware has just become faulty.

The phone is still under the 28 day warranty for returns but very wary that they will notice the change in ROM.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:
I'm confused here.. ..I've almost flashed every ROM that's available.

Made hard resets before and after every flash.

Tried all the radio ROMs, none realy provided a good GPS signal or at least a fast fix. The most sattelites were found using the .08 radio.

Now here's the miracle.

Hard resetted my device.. ...flashed v1.8 full. Hard reset again. Flashed Radio .05 and hard reset once more...

Synced all my contacts etc. Had to hurry because we had to leave. Luckily my girlfriend was driving so I could test my device on the road. I did not use QuickGPS, although it might have downloaded the data while syncing contacts.

Strange thing is I got a fix within 20 sec! while driving. Put the device off and did the same on the way home. Again the fix was there within a few seconds..

I'm almost 95% sure I've tried radio .08 and .07 on the v1.8 full and ultra lite.

But this is just a winning combination for me. Thanks for the great efford Dutty.

Bad thing is that I'm afraid to flash to other ROM's :o I've flashed my device so many times without getting a fast fix that I'm almost sure to say that flashing a device doesn't give the same result, even when flashing the same ROM+Radio.

Apart from the GPS signal the ROM is very stable I must say. Testing a few days now, and not even one soft reset was needed.

Thanks again Dutty, off course I'll try v1.9 when it's released... ..can't stand the temptation. Once a flasher, always a flasher *LOL* (no not the one with the raincoat!)
