anyone notice the pop up menu selection in a program is now small and not so large anymore???? how do i change this back?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aaron130:
Ya I noticed that same thing, the words are sooo small, LOL
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] biggggant:
Can you up the sprint nav?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eduardmc:
what is dynamic pagepool, can you please explain?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foxnews:
anyone got a link to NEW sprint DDC cab? I heard the old one screws up battery percentage readings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
Why would you run that cab?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foxnews:
I heard it would be safe to tether by running that cab. it is from a thread in ppcgeeks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aaron130:
Ive tried uploading on this site but it wont work for some reason. If you like, pm me with your email address and Ill email it to you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] J0KER:
Dynamic pooling is when the pagepool parameter is set to 0, which basically allows the size of the pool to be "sized" "dynamically". Opposite of dymanic is to have a static sized pool, ie. 12MB, 16MB, etc., where in the pool cannot exceed the specified size.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
OK, my notes after running the 2.2 Sprint for a few hours. Some of this has been mentioned already.

First, ceipui error is gone, obviously. Thanks for the fix.

OK, please don't hate me... initial observation is that there is not much improvement in battery drain. I have set the infrared, 60 sec data timeout and best battery for wireless lan. I will let you know if I see any improvement. *hides*

First impression of this Opera build is better rendering and zoom. No apparent probs in landscape. Also, the font size setting problems that I mentioned previously seem to be fixed in this build. Zoom bar is kinda nice too.

The pagepool is set to 16 on this one right? I'm thinking about reflashing and setting to zero after reading the positive comments about it. The 2.2 seems like it might be slightly more sluggish than the 2.1 but it is so minor I'm not even sure if it's just in my head.

I haven't noticed any data problems that might make me want to run the carrier cab... seems to be fine without it... should I be having problems with the Sprint TV? Honestly haven't even run that app yet but I can check and report back.

If there are any specific questions you have that you would like me to test for I would be happy to check on it. Please let me know how I can help.

Thanks so much for all the hard work on this rom. Most appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] theoottesen:
so in the opinion of the ones using the dynamic pp would you advise to set it to zero and reflash???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] richrosa:
I flashed the new Sprint ROM. I too notice no major improvements on battery life. Everything else seems fine. I'm taking the device on a 3-day business trip tomorrow, so I'll have some more feedback after using the phone in a tougher environment.

My only major problem is that QuickGPS seems to download settings, then fails saying that the "connection failed". This happens whether I do it manually or let it update automatically. Does anyone have a fix for this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
I accidentally deleted my page pool changer with my 2.1 rom files.

If someone could re-up that file without it being too inconvenient for them I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
thanks for the feedback. someone has thrown out the idea that the sprint radio may be to blame for poor battery life, as i don't know what else i can do to help you. can you please comment on how long the battery lasts, and what useage you went though?

2.1 and 2.2 sprint both have 6MB PP
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] theoottesen:
Here ya go man.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
OK thanks for the reply. If I can locate that page pool changer I am going to switch to zero and reflash. Then I will charge to 100% and give you some more detailed notes on battery life tomorrow.

Oh yeah... I also tried to run the speed test on dslreports but I get the message that I need to use a larger file for the test even though I am running their largest 1mb test. Is there another reliable speed test somewhere? Would like to share notes on my EVDO speeds with 2.2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bobbenedetti:
Telus 2.2

The text on the menus are smaller..almost small enough to create problems for my old peepers without cheaters. Can you up to to the original size on next version?

TIA
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Thank you.

I will keep it secret keep it safe this time. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] richrosa:
It fixed itself, or maybe when I turned off the data connection. Its working now
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anish3232:
Anyway to change the menus back to Larger Size? The smaller size makes it harder to use with a finger.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Cyric78:
Just wondering, is tethering detection removed, or no?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] klmsu19:
i like the small menus it doesnt cover the whole screen which is worse than having to click carefully. Theyre just normal menu sizes of previous PPCs everyone should be used to it by now. The big ones are nice but covers too much of the screen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aaron130:
Ok something I noticed with 2.2 ROM. EVry few minutes I click on the little menu icon in the top right corner and it shows active sync as a program running and I have to "x" it out so its not running in the background. After I x it out i do a few things and go check again and its there again. And Im not resetting the device or anything. I know it shows up after you soft reset but this is every few minutes. Any way to stop this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Yeah... This has been mentioned a few times before. I thought maybe it was related to outlook events but after further observation I have not been able to find any pattern as to why active sync continues to automatically restart in the background.

Again, this was the same on the stock Sprint rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The_Real_D/\SH:
you can use an app like quickmenu to get the desired effects.... after install look through the settings and you will find no problem......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
If I remember correctly this is easily changed with Advance Config.

I like the small menus.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aaron130:
Does anyone know where I can find the Sprint Original ROM? I had it but I lost it. Id like to have it "just in case"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Wow... didn't know about Quickmenu but just tried it out. Thank you VERY much for the heads up. I love it.

Guys if you haven't tried Quickmenu you should definitely check it out. Just search Quickmenu from the main XDA forum page.

Yes, it does have an auto-close active sync option also.

Thanks again for the tip.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jadamwmu:
are the prl and profile updates now working with the sprint rom? in 2.1, when you clicked on them they did nothing.

thanks juicy!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] klmsu19:
theyve been taken out since they were just non-working icons anyways.

prl can be updated by finding the .prl file (http://www.corolada.com/prl/ in the "EvDO w/ Data Triangle:" section), hitting ##prl# in the dialpad and loading the file. Its honestly really simple to do- takes about 1.5 min tops.

profile updates really dont do too much once you have the phone setup that you cant do through the normal #786/778 menus and your MSL. Its really a dummy-proof thing Sprint added to make it easier.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevank:
From what I can see, they are not included in the ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aaron130:
I loaded quickmenu onto my phone and checked autoclose active sync but it still shows up after a few minutes. Any ideas why this happens? Im sure this cant be good for the already bad battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevank:
Sprint - Compare 0PP to 6PP

Here are a few numbers I gather for starting apps on Sprint Diamond running Juicy 2.2 with a 0pp and 6megPP :

0PP	Default (6Meg PP)
TomTom (From Internal Storage)	18sec	20sec
Opera	8sec	6sec
Live Search	9sec	7sec
Google Maps	2sec	3sec
Browse to \Windows	7sec	5sec

I ran each test 3 times and averaged the results. (Oddly most of the time it was exactly the same during each test.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
I just noticed that YouTube app settings are carried over thru a re-flash because they are saved to the internal storage by default.

Would this not also solve the problem of losing Opera bookmarks during a re-flash?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
I'm finding TF to be more responsive with the zero pp. What do you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
Think about how often I release a ROM.

Now, think about how often Sprint/Telus release a PRL.

More likely than not you'll flash another ROM before they update their PRL and I will just include that new PRL in my release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
0PP feels like it needs a few mins of break-in if you could call it that, but it seems way faster than anything else after. Kevan, could you try again with your tests?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevank:
Already flashing back to 0PP. I will have numbers in an hour.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevank:
Alright a retest of PP after letting the 0PP run a while:

0PP	Default (6Meg PP)

TomTom (From Internal Storage)	11sec	20sec

Opera	6sec	6sec

Live Search	5sec	7sec

Google Maps	2sec	3sec

Browse to \Windows	5sec	5sec

O PP is the winner. I also agree that TF is faster on 0.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rafy186:
Hey Juicy Great Work!!!!

Small Bug I Found: When I Tried to input my WiFi password in Compact Keyboard nothing would input. Had to switch it to another type of keyboard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] J0KER:
Here is my 0 PP rom running under a semi-heavy load... which was a concern of mine with dynamic pooling. But even with all that crap opened, it was still as responsive as a fresh restart! Even better, subsequent openings of the same program are lighting fast because they are already loaded in RAM. Bonus!

My Mogul would have choked on itself just having Sprint Nav and Opera running simultaneously!

Here is what was running:

5 tabs in Opera w/ 1 downloading the Sprint TV update

Sprint Nav with an active running

HTC GPS Tool - logging enabled

YouTube w/ video paused

Sprint TV - (no video playing, only Guide data)

Photo Album

Exchange Active Sync

New Mail Message

Calendar

Contacts
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sn0b0ard:
By the way, for people having battery drain issues, I have tried both this ROM and WindSprint, and WindSprint .76 beta has really good battery life.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Hmm... Juicy would you have any interest in someone else testing the WindSprint rom for battery results? I would be willing to do this if it would help you. Maybe you could find what is getting different results with that rom.

Anyway, if it would help, let me know and I will do it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The_Real_D/\SH:
i would be willing to help out for sure........ trust me i know my stuff..... the other name is D/\SH if that rings a bell :>
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aaron130:
I downloaded quickmenu as instructed earlier to get rid of the active sync from running then closing then after a few minutes it starts running again but it did not work. Still every few minutes I check to make sure no programs are running and active sync shows up again. Is there ANY fix for this at all???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Yeah... actually after I started playing around with Quickmenu (which i still think is a great prog for plenty of other reasons) I noticed that it was not stopping the active sync from starting on its own every couple minutes.

I can't figure out how to stop it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JRider:
Went to bed at 11:30 PM with 95% battery. Woke up to find the phone off, and the battery completely drained 8 hours later. I am running the latest 2.2 ROM. There is something definitely wrong. I don't recall even the Sprint Stock ROM to be this bad.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ilogik:
I think the diamond has a problem handling poor reception areas. At home I have excellent reception, went to bed with 70% battery and woke up with 60%. Went to work which has very poor reception and it dropped from 60% to 20% in 2 hours. On a side note how can I get the yellow sprint logo on the top right corner of the home screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JRider:
My house has good reception, and it still died over night.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
Been on a dynamic PP here for a full day and i think its great! it was a lil funky at first but once it learned my using habits it worjking very well!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevank:
I will agree with you... 0PP does seems to be pretty snappy once it has allocated the PP.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
i was pulling my hair out for a bit then i went back to the same apps andthey were fine i was like... oh jeeez i know why :rolleyes: anything dynamic has to learn and allocate according to usage lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
sooo bug reports? i know you sprint guys loveto give them lol :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevank:
I noticed that I cannot install oz im on 2.2 for sprint. It immediatly comes back with an unsuccessful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
really haven't had much wrong except:

The battery seems to drain a lil quicker than 2.1, and only by a little bit. maybe i've worked my phone more than usual but doesn' feel like it.

Also, i've found TF3D to close itself and reload a couple times throughout the day yesterday... 2 times only... hasn't happened today yet... not sure what causes this, but i think its the softkeys... once when i was in people tab and hit "All People" and once in programs tab hitting "All Programs"

Other than that, its pretty darn nice guys!

btw, is this 2.3 dynamic PP version not released yet and you guys are just teasin us?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foxnews:
ROM 2.2

1) Battery is still an issue. it drop 10% per hour. I plugged in all night. unplug at 8AM at 100%. at 10AM, it shows 80%. I just configured the phones, browse less than a minutes to test. it seems worse than 2.1

2) Internet sharing keep disconnecting when tethering. then it switches to sync.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
bug noted guys :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lcyals:
Thanks for all your hard work Juicy and Juggalo. I followed over from the other site and was running the Srint ROM 2.1 and installed 2.2 today. I just wanted to give a heads up to people that installed the newest beta of Skyfire that it's not working properly on Juicy's rom or the stock rom. I've flashed my phone like 3 times today and have done a couple of hard resets trying to figure it out but it seems like it's an issue with Skyfire. The previous version works. Anyway, great rom and I've set the PP to 0 too and it seems to be a little snappier. When I was running 2.1, I set the PP to 32 and I didn't really notice a difference with that then running it at 16.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
Skyfier does not support VGA devices yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevyli85:
Care to post the version that works? I thought they didn't have VGA support
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lcyals:
The version is 0.61.0.4721. It's not totally working correctly, but it's more stable than the latest version. With the latest version, I have half the screen showing Skyfire and the other half showing my TFlo screen. With the older version, it at least loads completely and works. Obviously, the resolution is not matching up, but it's usable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anish3232:
The battery issue still seems to be there. Its been 7 hours since the phone has been off the charger and I am 55%. I talked on the phone for 5-10mins. Sent 2 text messages and visited 3 websites.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] billo007:
Telus 2.2

I am finding that after 3 days of use that battery consumption was better on 2.1. landscape keyboard has been working properly.Reception fluctuation has been improved dramatically.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
this is because we added a 16 MB PP it drains battery more. the next rom will have a dynamic PP this should solve that issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
I switched to custom zero pp with 2.2 Sprint last night. After flashing I thought the battery issue might have stabilized. Unfortunately, I am still getting intermittant periods of massive battery drain. At one point I actually lost 20% of my battery in about 15 minutes during data use.

I don't want to sound like I am complaining... just want to reports my observations.

I will report back if I find anything new.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
:( I have lots of good things to say too :)

Functionally, I have everything nailed just where I want it with 2.2... thank you for that.

Just a couple performance issues. Obviously, battery is the big one. I previously reported that Opera landscape issue seemed to be resolved but I am actually still getting some crashing with landscape in this build. I know it is an Opera thing... just wanted to mention.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
thanks for the input.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JRider:
How do I go about changing it myself? I've seen people refer to a program that allows you to do it. Could I get some help on this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
It was posted earlier in this thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anish3232:
I also had some people of echoing issues after switching to 2.2 It seems like the audiopara might be the cause of this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
yah me and the other users who worked on the audio para noticed this. ive asked him to look into why the mic amp is so jacked.

he is going ot get back to me with a new file :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hebrewbacon:
I noticed today that after upgrading to 2.2 on my Sprint Diamond, the call quality seemed poorer than previous ROMs. This may have been simply because it was windy when I used it, but I'm not so sure.

On close inspection I found that my data connection indicator changes from Ev to 1x as soon as a call connects, and it changes back once it's over. Could this mean that my calls aren't connecting with 3G voice? Does this simply happen for everybody and I'm worrying for no reason? Thanks for your help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anish3232:
All calls made on Sprint go to 1X. Every time you send and receive texts it goes to 1X. What your phone did is normal.

thks for the answer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sheeno50:
I'd like to chime in that after 2.1 people have been complaining about this as well- Quick fix for now is to lower the volume on the handset otherwise they can hear themselves talk.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
this is just how it works... the only voice calling that would use 3g i suppose would be skype.

thats what skype is right?

just checked it twice and ya it was set at 6mb...

then i checked 2.1 and that was at 16mb...

hmmmm(puzzled)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] badace3569:
First off, thanks, Juicy, for making this wonderful ROM... heaven knows with only Sprint letting out updates this phone would never meet it's full potential.

That being said, I'm still getting the ceipui.exe error occasionally. It happened when the device was still setting up from a fresh 2.2 ROM flash, and again after I received a text message.

Since then, however, there hasn't been a recurrence - here's hoping that it was just a one time thing.

Hope to see more from you and Juggalo in the future! Keep up the excellent work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The_Real_D/\SH:
huh i dont experience these troubles with the new version. have you tried taking the battery out for 1 minute than hard resetting afterwards? ususally this fixes the troubles.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
6mb for sprinters.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] itsallsubliminal:
ef that! lol i bumped that up to 20mb... we'll see how long this battery lasts! heh :D

edit: actually, may i ask why only 6 for sprinters?
