Announcement

ANNOUNCEMENT !

Due to numerous complaints that free file sharing sites are serving slow downloads, I have created a Download Site for my ROMs here. This download site will serve new and current ROMs only. Old ROMs download links are still in Post # 2. The download site is currently leased from a friend of mine.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the users of my ROMs and to the generous donators who has donated to help me keep the download site alive. The list of Donators can be found here. Please note that the donations are from the donators own generosity and you are not obligated to donate if you do not wish to. All ROMs under my signature will always be available for download for free and unlocked.

Thank you all for your support !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KJH:
Vic,

First of all I have to congratulate and thank you for this great and beautiful ROM. It is fast and stable and I found only a couple of minor issues.

I installed first your HD Manila ROM 3.4 and applied then the 1.8.5 XBMod fix as you suggested in your first post. That is when I found a couple of things.

First I had to overwrite your 590aa261_manila file with the one I recovered from the XBMod 1.8.1 cab file in order to get the agenda working correctly on the home page (IDS_TOMMOROW and IDS_MULTIDAY issue).

Secondly, I can no longer change the background picture after I installed the 1.8.5 XBMod fix. Before I installed the 1.8.5 fix, I removed the background from the other pages by applying your “Vic Remove Background All Pages.cab”. That removed the background picture from all pages except the Home page, but after installing the XBMod 1.8.5 fix it blocks changing the background of the Home page.

I also tried first installing the XBMod 1.8.5 fix first and then your “Vic Remove Background All Pages.cab” but that removed part of the XBMod 1.8.5 fix functionalities (5 agenda entries on the Home page). Somewhere these two cabs are conflicting.

In case I don’t install your “Vic Remove Background All Pages.cab” I have all the XBMod 1.8.5 functionalities and I have the same background picture on ALL pages.

Do you have any idea how I can make the XBMod 1.8.5 work with only a background picture on the Home page, since I would like to use my own picture, which is too busy for some of the other pages than the Home page.

Thanks a lot in advance and again I appreciate all your hard work.

what's the difference between hdmanilla and classic manilla ?

what's the difference between hdmanilla and classic manilla ?

also I followed the instructions and just get a grey screen that say loading....

any ideas ?

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] polllux:
classic manilla is from the DIAMOND

HD manilla is from the Touch HD ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

Thanks for downloading this ROM. When you install the 3.4 HD Manila version, you just need to install XBoxmod 1.8.5 fix. Then you will have the multi appointments home page and a couple of other fixes like people tab, weather and stock tabs. It should work and should not interfere with the background pictures.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Grumps:
Vic

I know this is probably the wrong place to ask but i love your rom so theres just no other one that will do. I havent done coocking since the good old kaiser days. I want to use ure rom with remote tracker built in : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394203 can you advise what kitchen u use and where to find and if it will be possible to ad this to your rom?

Thanx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

This ROM (most, if not all, unless they are locked) are Kitchen independent. Just dump it with your favorite Kitchen and recook. If you need an easy to use basic Diamond Kitchen then look here.

phone not starting automatically

Hi,

1st of all u really done a great job! i specially like the "Stocks en weather tab"

actually i like everything.

There's just one small thing...which is pretty annoying

i flashed my MDA IV with Hard SPL an installed ur xcellent ROM

everything went perfectly

But everytime i soft reset the phone function doesn't automatically start

(i have to switch the phone off and then back on again...everytime i reset the damn thing)

But apart from this tiny annoyance. U probably created the ultimate rom for me :)

i thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

This is a known issue if you flashed the HD Manila version. It's just one extra step for you after a soft reset. That is to select phone from the start menu and enter the pin code. If you do not have a pin code then the phone will start.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jalfrezi:
still cant believe the amazing battery life ive achieved since i dowloaded the rom just wished id fount this prior to buying new battery and socket charger thats no longer required

again great work vic
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chunga168:
I'm getting an issue where sometimes when i get a phone call, the phone resets itself.

Am I the only person getting this?

I'm using the HD manila rom...

It's probably bcoz of some tweaks I used as well as certain programs (SPB Pocket Plus?), but just thought I'll throw it out there...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mehfil:
Perfect OS best till I have used for Diamond,

How ever I would like to replace Comm.Mag tab next to Contacts with Programs which leads me to last Program tab, can any one please let me know how to link Programms intead of Comm.mang.

Thanks V much in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

To remove the Comm.Mgr. link on the right soft key, use a Reg Editor and set the below key values to blanks:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]

"HomeRSKText"="Comm.Mgr." ----> set to blank

"HomeRSKPath"="\\windows\\CommManager.lnk" ---> set to blank

Just in case you didn't know, swiping your finger from left to right anywhere on the screen other than the Tab buttons will bring you directly to the Programs tab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shermanha:
Vic,

Firstly, thanks for your great rom.

In your next version, can u please change manila home calendar font to white color. the default is grey. And the font size for the appointment subject, can it same as the appointment time font size, cos it is too small.

Regards,

Sherman

Is there a Call History Tab available?

Hi,

Thanks for beatiful ROM.

1. I used another ROM before (not as good) but it had Call History tab (as opposed to link on home page). Do I need to install something to enable it?

2. How can I revert to original stock Microsoft voice dialing instead of Voice Command if possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bonta768:
I've tried the latest Dutty, MORNA, Shaks roms, and now Vics (because im a geek, not because the roms are bad). All built from 2.03. I have radio 1.9.25.23, and Olinex HardSPL 1.40.

Only in the Vics rom do I have trouble with ActiveSync. It connects and then drops out after a few seconds. The ActiveSync logo stays in the system tray, and then I cant use USB again until a soft reset. If instead, my first connection is plain Disk Drive then I can use it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
If you are using the HD Manila version then you can enable the Call History in the Settings-->Customiza Tabs option. If the Call History is not there then download the XBoxmod 1.8.5 Fix here and install it. You should be able to get the Call History on your Manila.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Try to move the AsyncKiller.lnk out from the Windows/StartUp folder then soft reset. See whether this will solve your problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
You can download and install any focus colours you like from here. The font is small because the Manila version is from the HD and it was resized to fit into the Diamond. That's why the font size is smaller.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] artisticcheese:
Thanks but installing XBOX mod will take another 20 MB out of RAM correct or it'll overwrite which is already in ROM and will not?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] criszz:
If you are using the HD Manila version that files wil be overwrite
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
No bro. I have 2 versions of the 3.4 ROM. Which one are you using ? If you are using the 3.4 Manila HD version then you only need to download the xboxmod 1.8.5 cab at the bottom of the page and install it. But if you are using the classic manila version then you have to install Advanced Config and enable it from there
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] artisticcheese:
Thanks. I have HD version but it lacked History tab and it was not available in customizer either. So I reinstalled the whole thing and all is good now. Thanks for the ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bonta768:
Yes now ActiveSync stays active and lets my PC connect and disconnect several times, and it works everytime, although the ActiveSync icon is always in the system tray after first connect. Thanks!

Perhaps I should also tell you I use Nodata and turn off all Internet and Wap access, but not MMS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
good to know that u got hv working.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
good to know that u got it working.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beckbln:
This is awesome! Thank you!

Fastest rom I've tested so far. Too bad it's not available in other languages yet. Keep up the good work!

6.5

Hi Vic, I guess you have had a look at wm6.5, just curious, are you considering a rom using this? I hardly look at the rom thread these days because I am quite content with with your current one, but I guess more 6.5 builds will be appearing and that that will inevitably be the way forward for all of us. I get the impression that the 6.5 builds are still fairly beta but soon we will have a nice fast stable build, so can we expect a 6.5 rom from you? I would very much like to flash that!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] caudex:
I had EXACTLY the same problem as you. 8% etc displaying. You might have installed a older version of the task bar enhacements. Uninstall the task bar enhancement and soft reset then install the one in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3143645&postcount=387

That fixed it for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

I would love to make one with the 6.5 but I guess it's not the right time because the 6.5 that we have floating around right now has lots of unresolved issues. I will wait for a stable one before making any public release. I have been experimenting with it myself but I feel that it's not stable enough and if I release it then I will have tonnes of things to support. Furthermore, there are a few Beta ROMs on the 6.5 for the Diamond here so if you want to try them out you can flash them and play with them.

I have since went back to my own 3.4 which I feel (at least for me) is the best that I have done so far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cobbs:
I agree 3.4 is the best yet, to many problems with 6.5 at the moment.

Thanks again vic.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shermanha:
Vic, thanks for your reply.

But i don't mean the highlighted color. I want to change the home fonts color. Like the Alarm and appointment fonts in Home tab.

Thank you.

anyone have the problem of not able to see the sim contact from contacts.

I need to go into sim manager in order to view my contact stored in the sim.

*edit* : Anyone have scrollable contacts ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Is this what you are looking for ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
It's hidden by default. If you want them to be shown then use a registry editor and edit the below registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]

"ShowSIM"=dword:0 ====> Change to 1

You mean your contacts is not scrollable ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] queks:
Thanks. found ...

*edit*: the setting mention above do not stick. It will reset back to 0 upon reset of phone. The patch found in the forum "nikisimfix.cab" or v2 of it still do not solve the problem. There are no simfix shortcut in startup folder also.

I think the bug may be from the HD software...

Vic Diamond ROM 3.5 CE OS 5.2.21018 Aku 1.6 is Announced !

Version 3.5 is announced. Check first post. ETA 27 Feb 2009.

See you guys soon :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uniqueboy:
Looking forward to that Vic, but I find it hard to imagine how it could get better than 3.4, is it a faster build and some updated apps? The calculator looks great, will it auto rotate like this? And is it worth waiting for xboxmod to finish his new manila?:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
Hey Vic5870,

can you please provide more details what's included in the ROM?

Vic Diamond ROM 3.5 Released

ROM is released. Check first post
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

Well I should say that technically the 3.5 is not much different from the 3.4 except some new apps, updated visual enhancements and new XIP & SYS. You can try if you like.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
The ROM is released. Check first post for more information.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zyborg:
Wow...!

3.5 is a freakin' beaut'... VERY fast, stable and responsive. The best ROM so far, and believe you me, I've tried them all. ;) Thank you for all your hard work and please keep it up - I'm seriously considering donating a few bucks to your cause.

Will report back if I find anything unexpected...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:

Thanx again for the nice update to V3.5....

as a matter of fact, I rather stick to the classic Manila version...could you tell me if you're planning to make this version WITH classic Manila??:p

Thanks again mate;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blackjag:
stock tab?

cool! looks great

Just 1 question: does this include the stocks tab?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blackjag:
apparently it does! i just flashed my Diamond Touch with ur new ROM

one more quiestion though:

is it possible to revert back to your previous icons of connections/battery and hone status which are shown at the top of the screen?

i don't really like the icons they seem to be too vague. It's not clear what type of connnection is active (the H for HDSPA). The colour is not crystal clear. I prefer having different colours for HDSPA or GPRS

but great ROM!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
I will make one for it later but in the meantime, enjoy the HD version first.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Yes, I just noticed that too. To get it to work, you have to Calibrate the G-Sensor first but after a soft reset the calibration will be lost and you have do calibrate it again in order to the auto rotate in the calculator to work. I am not sure whether it's supposed to be like this but I will test more. I will fix it if it's a bug.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
I will make a cab for it and post it for you later. I have to go look for the files. They are somewhere here on my hard drive. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] magic55:
Vic5870,

XIP and SYS is full 21018 or modified with 21015 ( 192 dpi and 409 lang - SYS ) ? I don't ask about dsm of course.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ICEFACE000:
i totally agree with you. i prefer the icons from the 3.4 version.

VIC... you've done an excellent job in the 3.4 and 3.5 ROMs, i am new to your ROM's but man... your ROM is the best i've ever tried.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Are there any classic manilla versions of 3.5?

I do not like the HD manilla (weather tab is in wrong ratio, and the graphics is in general poorly looking due to the CFC Compression)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
I dont know whether this is a bug or just my device.

somehow device was hang while i was browsing contact, so i did a soft-reset, it's stuck at screen (smart mobility) for a long time, so i decided to do another soft-reset, but it did auto-hard-reset itself.

strange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
They are modded. DSM from 21015 and modules from 21018. I believe you did the same too ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Here you go. Install the attached Cab file and soft reset. If you get black icons then install the sdkcerts.cab and soft reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
The poor rendering of the graphics were mainly due to the resizing that was done while porting over for the Diamond and it not so much because of the CFC compression. If you have used my 3.4, I used CFC Compression on the Classic Manila too. Did you notice any difference ? Anyway, I will make a Classic Manila version later.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Smart mobility ? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kinky-chinky:
Looking forwards to your Classic Manila Vic.

Plans to work on a Win Mo 6.5 Rom? Currently using Cloudyfa's Beta 2 and find it quite usable as it stands.

Would like to see what wonders you can do with it :-)

Will probably reload your 3.5 Classic when released though.

Keep up the good work buddy.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blackjag:
Thank you so much it's working perfectly

:D

i really like the new icons in system settings and i really like that ur using the HTC logo for the start button. Really nice

oh wait having installed the cab the new system icons are gone lol...

i thought the cab was only for the icons at the top of the screen?

Good job buddy, even though Brazil, was tired of basic rom's they had there, much like the clock, I have some doubts, if you can help me ...

1 - The format of the time in TF3D, I tried the whole way and not change it

2 - You can remove the source of bold whole system? code, menu settings, programs, sources of icons, the text of them are bold.

3 - This is the main course, as I do for the phone all the time is not "automatic configuration of network" STK Service and such?

4 - Auto rotate is enabled or need the Gyrator?

Thank you, hope you can help me!

Is there any way I can replace that Windows logo for the Start Menu with the HTC one I've seen in screenshots here?

Thanks again, and bless you for your hard work! ;)

The interface very nice, i like it.

But I think it is slower than 3.4 ROM.

Anyway, Thank Vic for nice ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Yes, forgot to tell you that the new system icons will be gone if you install the 3.4 taskbar. That's because for the 3.5, I am using the taskbar icon set by 12aon. He did a pretty good job on the system icons.

I assumed the CFC compression was to blame - but I'm wrong then! The classic manilla in 3.4 looks great.
