Tried the new version. So I went from 3.4 CE.OS 5.2.21014 to 3.5 CE.OS 5.2.21018.

Sprite backup can't restore anything :(

No contacts, no messages, no settings (the last rom would set the settings for 3G et cetera automatically. This one doesn't).

Does anyone know a better back-up software maybe?

Then I would put the old rom back on, load the backup file, creat a new one and put this rom on again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
SPB Backup works fine with me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beckbln:
Thanks. Gonna try it. Managed to get the Network started by the way. Love the new style.

Edit: SPB works perfect! Thank you!

album issue

Hi Vic

Great ROM !! Just download it and test it, all seem very fast and stable. Just one thing, I can't zoom photo in the album application, neither get the next photo in the album by sliding the photo. Am I the only one which have this problem ?

By the way, great work and thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Reb0rn:
Vic ... your roms show us a lot about your dedication... I think that i would have thrown my phone straight to hell if it wasnt for your roms and XboxMod's hard work with the Manilla portings.

I salute you ;)

Thanks again and keep up teh g00d w0rkz0r :P

even I tried to set endkey program to lock the device by default. after that when i long press endkey, screen flickers once, but noting happens then, no lock.

anyone can please help on this.??

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

Thanks for downloading and using my ROM. I confirm the the Long Press End Key is working on my side. Hope you have not installed any 3rd party progs that is messing with it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

I am really flattered by your comments. I believe XBoxmod will feel the same too is he reads this.

Thanks for your support
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Radix999:
I'm sorry to say this, but I had only a nightmare with this v3.5 of this rom. UI and icons look nice, but TouchFLO 3D would crash repeatedly, UI was incredibly slow and the whole system got more and more unstable to the point where TFLO 3D wouldn't even start at all. And I'd barely had it installed a day!

I've never had this much hassle with a rom before and I'm quite shocked at how bad it was. :(

Sorry.. I'm back to udK roms after this experience.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

I am sorry to hear that. I have more than 500 downloads for this ROM since yesterday and I believe you are the only one with this problem. I also trust that this ROM is definitely not for you. Good luck with your next ROM.

Thanks for trying anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uniqueboy:
TF3D good for me

TF3D is extremely fast and stable on this rom for me, not a single crash or failure to start and the rest of the rom is just as good. As of this moment, about 30 hours into the rom I don't have a single issue! So thanks for the great rom Vic.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the-fire:
thanx vic i like your roms

i use Vic Diamond ROM 3.4

and now i'll try Vic Diamond ROM 3.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Reb0rn:
Sorry to say this but, Asshole style in your post man.

Just say that you dont know how to flash a phone...

I mean 100ppl already downloaded and installed and none of them has the same issues u have NONE!

Why do u think that is?

My bet would be u dont do hardresets after a flash... or that u might have a faulty phone, or that you are a little fanboi and want to share your sickness ... :P

No need to say your gonna use another ROM for the sake of ur ignorance ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] murata:
updated here from 3.4 to 3.5

no problems at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bonsaiboyz:
Minor problem in that it seems to think that there is a headst connected at all times as the icon for one appears on my taskbar and in S2u2. It disappears after I connect and disconnect an actual headset, but it is always back after a reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4u2sameer:
i just installed the 3.5 rom and now my accelerometer stopped working :(

edit: the g-sensor is working perfectly in the settings menu though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beckbln:
I'm having so much trouble with the new version :(

It stops responding, then I have to reset, then it works for a while. Then it stops again. Reset again; all data gone like after a hard reset, it reinstalls everything but doesn't really work anymore.

Just did a hard reset. Hope it will work now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slt99:
I got the same problem. Finally, I quitted.....:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

I would appreciate it very much if you could at least tell me what your problems are. "I have so much trouble" is such a general statement and is impossible for me to know what to fix for you. I have been tracking all posts and have been doing a lot of testing myself and I can only confirm ONE things is not working well right now. It's the Diamond 2 G-Sensor I used in this ROM. It will only auto rotate the HTC Calculator each time after Calibrating the G-Sensor. While Opera wouldn't even rotate.

I will post the original SensorSDK package for the Diamond later on and it will fix the auto rotation for Opera but will totally lose the auto rotation function for HTC Calculator. So, you guys can choose what you need to auto rotate what you don't need.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Yes, confirmed there's a problem with the SensorSDK package I am using in this ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

I encountered this once myself too but not with S2U2. It happened when I first paired my bluetooth headset and the extra icon wouldn't go away. I found out that it's asking for a passcode to connect to the BT headset after clicking on the notification icon on the task bar and once I entered the passcode (default: 0000), it went away and never came back. I don't know whether this is related to your problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cobbs:
Hi Vic i had the same problems as them but on a differnt rom and I just flashed the stock 2.03 rom and then flashed the rom again strait away and I have had no more problems.

Very nice rom vic its so fast and I can not find any problems with it at all :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Original SensorSDK for HTC Touch Diamond

To all who is having problems with the G-Sensor not auto rotating Opera, the below CAB will solve this but will affect the auto rotation of the HTC Calculator. It seems that the Diamond 2 SensorSDK I used in this 3.5 ROM is troublesome. The HTC Calculator will only auto rotate only after you have done the G-Sensor Calibration. When you have soft reset your device, the HTC Calculator auto rotation will not work until you have done the G-Sensor Calibration again. I hav no luck with Opera. Whatever I do Opera doesn't auto rotate. So, with this CAB, Opera will be able to auto rotate but HTC Calculator won't.

So you guys choose what you want to auto rotate.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Maysbach:
Hi Vic,

first of all great job again :)

I tried your newest Rom yesterday and there from I have some points to tell you as feedback:

- I think the battery is getting low very fast using this rom

- when I receive a eMail it hang on vibration and did not stop until softreset

- I configurated my left "sof-key" in TFL3D to CONTACTS and it showed my MSN Live contacts.......after conifgurate it again it was okay and it shows my contacts now

I guess I will take your last Rom VIC DIAMOND ROM 3.4 CE.OS 5.2.21014 HD MANILA it was stable so far and I was happy with it ;)

and the icon`s on the top (for 3G, GPRS, HSDPA etc.) where better on your last Rom but I know this is a personal point, some like it some not ;)

greets
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beckbln:
As I said, my phone stops responding and I have to soft reset.

I try to install new software, it stops responding.

I wanna do a backup, it stops responding.

Just now I had the problem with the backup , hit the soft-reset and it is like after a hard-reset. It wants to re-install everything.

Verified Backup S/W

Is there a known issue with restoring using Sprite Backup on a Diamond and this ROM?

I did a restore via Sprite Backup on my Diamond yesterday and upon reset the phone hung at the splash screen (the splash in ROM). I had to re-flash using HARD-SPL in order to make it work again. For the record, the backups don't report an error when they are made. I was told months ago to use Sprite instead of SPB when I had a similar problem doing a restore on my Touch Pro.

I am thinking that it must've been an initial bad flash because even doing a format with HARD-SPL didn't bring the unit back. Does anyone have any comments on this?

Also, can anyone recommend an imaging program that they have VERIFIED a problem-free restore with? I like to image my unit often as I'm testing software.

Thanks very much and gratz to Vic for the best ROM ever to grace any of my units (I know how much time this stuff takes and it is appreciated!).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

I only have SPB Backup with me and I can verify that it's working. Just that you should know that you should only backup and restore your PIM and not the system files. Hope others here can verify the other backup software.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Minus-1:
Thanks for the quick response, Vic!

I've been backing up and restoring the entire device for years using various software and various devices.

I have, in fact, backed up the entire Diamond using Sprite Backup and restored it without a hitch. Today, I tried to do a restore but the Diamond hung once the restore was complete. The only difference between a successful restore and an unsuccessful one was that I was using a new ROM.

Having said all this, I think that it's likely my fault just the same. Although I had performed a hard-reset after installing your ROM, there were a few anomalies that I did notice. This is not your fault and completely unrelated to your ROM. Probably user-error. :) This time when I re-flashed your ROM, the font is a different size and a couple of other things -- hence why I'm thinking I screwed up the initial flash. Im guessing it was probably a bad flash the first time around. I have already setup the device so now I'm too scared to try to do a backup and restore and go through all those hours of configuring again! Hopefully someone can tell me that they are doing it with no problems.

Thanks again. Keep up the excellent work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Radix999:
Reb0rn:

Please.. I'm not a newbie, and I'm not slagging off this rom or the cooker - I just shared my experience.

For the record:

I have been installing custom roms for years - I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'm definitely no newbie and I've probably installed ~20 odd different roms (SwiftBL, Dutty, AlphaZero, udK, Seatone, Dia Duit) on my Diamond since I got it in June last year and this was my first bad experience. I've been using WM phones in general for the last 5-6 years, and I'm a developer by trade.

Yes, I always do a hard-reset after every install.

I have nothing against this rom, but posted my experience as I felt I should share it. Sure, it wasn't as perfect as some people have had, and it really did sound like something was screwed up, but it was an experience nevertheless and I thought I'd share it just in case someone else had a similar experience.

Now I don't know why I got such a bad experience - if you guys are all working fine then it's probably just me - maybe I picked up an early copy of v3.5 (the thread hadn't been updated at the time, just the author's download site) - I don't know what else it might have been, but I posted my experience as you never know.

I was trying to be helpful here, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting.. but if you want to mock me and put me down - meh.. whatever :P

Oh.. and for the guy who was asking about alternative phone backup software - have you tried ppcpimbackup? It's very good and what a number of people use to backup contacts/tasks/text msg's/etc - it's also free and should be easy to find.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Minus-1:
Hello, Radix.

Thank-you very much for the response. I do in fact use PCP PIM Backup to backup my PIM data, but I was actually looking for something to backup the entire install. I have been using Sprite for my HTC devices and SPB for my non-HTC devices without a hitch. The only reason I was asking in this thread was because I had an issue doing a full restore after installing a new ROM (this one -- Vic's). I think that I am simply going to have to do a backup and try a restore again. I can't imagine that the issue could be ROM-related, but then again, stranger things have happened.

P.S. I am sorry to hear that you had issues with this ROM. I installed this on my Rogers-based GSM Diamond and I have had zero-issues. In fact, I truly do love it. On my unit, the increased speed and HD cosmetics is breath-taking.

Thanks again.

Take care!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

Usually when installing a new ROM of a different build, it is required only to restore you PIM files. Simple reason is that if you restore the entire system files, dlls and registries will get overwritten with old ones and that will definitely screw things up. I use SPB Backup is because I found that it's not only reliable, it's pretty smart too. The software actually detects whether I have upgraded to a new build and it will ask me whether to do a ROM Upgrade or a nomal restore. This feature is good in case I accidentally do a full restore on a new ROM build.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Hi,

First of all, as a cooker, I do appreciate your (and all the others) feedbacks. I have also never doubted your (or anyone else's) capabilities or experiences. It's just that sometimes it's so frustrating for me if someone were to tell me that "Hey, I had so many problems with your ROM so I stopped using it". What I (and I believe most cookers) want to do is to help anyone who has problem with the best of our ability. We are human too and we do make mistakes too. What I appreciate is tell me what's wrong (details) so that I know where to look.

By the way, I seriously doubt that you had downloaded a bad file. I have only one copy of the file on my download site and that is the one that has been downloaded more that 600 times todate. I do not doubt your problems either but if there's only like 2 complaints (from you and another user...sorry forgot the name) then I really do not know where to start looking.

Thanks anyway for trying the ROM out.

Vic
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Fixed this one already in 2.8. You can test and see.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:

Man, you are fast! A new release so soon... And your device was in the service... Thanks! I am trying it right now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
For about 1 week I have been cooking blind and when I got my device back, I immediately tested it and found no big issues so I decided to share it out. Hope you like it. I find it faster than the 2.7 version.

I forced it into exclusive list. I don't see it popping up on my side though on the HTC Task Manager.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:
I don't use the HTC TaskManager. Because it's excluded you don't see it. But AS is starting automatically in the background.

Even removing the time change notification doesn't solve the problem.

Haven't found a (new) ROM at the moment that does solve this problem though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Have you tried my 2.7 ? AS don't show up anywhere. Maybe it's related to those OS builds.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention. I am using your white battery icons on this version. Hope you don't mind ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mccune:
Do I mind? What are you thinking VIC!?

v2.8 LT

Yes, this one is faster than 2.7 and very stable so far. This Opera build is better - I had to hard reset 2.7 twise because of Opera freezes. Great ROM - I like the new network icons and battery icon. New Manilla icons are also very fresh. Thanks, Vic!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hades_hellen:
v2.8 LT

So far so good. I had only one hard reset after data connection baloon could not open and machine became unstable. I have activated the disconnect button in it with adv. configuration. By default it is disabled. Maybe this problem is somehow connected with the new icons? It may be more convenient to use another comm. manager - with data connection tab. In this case I can disable the disconn. button in the popup bubble.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
Usually a soft reset will do. You do not need to hard reset so often. Your problem is definitely not related to the new icons as I only changed the battery icons and not the others. And it's not related to the Comm Mgr too. May I know how did you got into this problem in the first place? If you can describe and I will try to reproduce your problem and fix it. So far I didn't encounter anything like what you have said.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HaiLe512:

Hm, recook is impossible?

With 20721 haven't any problems (only in Opera folder 2 dsm files)

In 20753 & 20755 is the same trouble:

After reverse, cooked again image have mistakes (lost icons, OEMXIP - flashdrv, etc.)

May be more - not sure. For me was enough the first.

?

Is it possible to publish kitchen tree (the SYS, at least) ?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Maysbach:
Ohhhh come on dude!!

sentences like "I stop using VIC" etc. please stop telling us nonsense

This is a development community and if You work on a release you allways will have RC-versions and some problems with your releases.........users are here to give the developers feedback what`s god and what`s wrong........

I think nobody is here to get rich with the donations........

I tried the new ROM and went back to the 3.4 ROM for now cause I need my HTC dioamond in everyday-life but I installed it and posted my feedback but that not means I will stop using VIC............I will wait for fixes and updates and I blieve that Vic will update this ROM like his other Roms he made before........just give a developer time and chance to make some fixes.......

I work a lot with developers and from time to time I have to develope some as well and I know how it is

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Radix999:
Oh doh!

I think I might have found what caused the issues with your rom Vic - and I owe you a huge apology! I'm man enough to admit when I've made a mistake and step up and admit it.

I was sifting around in my UC folder and noticed I still had a copy of the manila rom from the Dia Duit rom in it that I installed last week. (part of that rom install was to install it after, so it was provided it as a cab file).

I'd forgotten all about it, but it was still part of my SDConfig file and got installed automagically when I installed your rom.

I daresay it would've stomped all of the xboxmod manila that was installed and caused a real mess - hence why it was so slow and was crashing all over the place.

Now that I've deleted the offending cab file, when I get a chance I'll have to try your rom again. Once again, my apologies!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vic5870:
