So Juicy, ehat u were saying is that sprint file that I have I dont even need it? which file would I click on to start the flashing? Im sorry Im VERY new to this, still learning
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jbhorner:
Just out of curiosity, where is the archive and mirrors? I see the reference to the PPCGEEKS site, but the version only goes to 2.1. The posted download link here is hideously slow...like between 30KB to 70KB per second.

Dumb Question

Should I decide to use PagePool Changer do I have to change the ROM file on my PC then reflash. There doesn't seem to be any way to change it on the ROM on the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Juicy, I just loaded up the WindSprint rom. At a glance I like yours alot better. He is using the Sprint stock look with a 16mb pp (I changed to zero) and has some bloat. To his credit, he has the Sprint TF running pretty fast. He is using an older build of Opera too.

Anyway... the main thing is the battery. I will let you know how it does some time tomorrow.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevyli85:
Yep you have to change before you flash
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
im on 2.3 now. the now comm manager is sweet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anish3232:
Juicy you think you will rebuild the stock Sprint Rom? This could possibly fix the battery problems, seems like the WindStream Rom is helping out with the battery issues. Thanks

Where is the 2.3 beta? I'm not seeing it. Is it just Telus or both?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
Telus only; sent to my beta testers. Beta testing team is full.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
kk np.

Just a word on the Windsprint rom. Battery life seems to be better when idle. Still major punishment to the battery with voice or data use.

I will be switching back to Juicy when the 2.3 Sprint rolls around.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
thanks bro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
Ive tested Juicy's rom Idol Discharge to the telus rom. and its exactly the same. the more and more i think. the more im blaming the sprint battery on there radio rom as its different. SINCE sprint does not roam on Verizon towers, Sprint had to get HTC to modify the Radio rom to amp it up a bit to keep it from dropping calls in low signal areas. this is why a) your device gets so hot in some calls and not in others. Signal difference and the radio may or may not be going into over drive. and 2) Battery drain on idol. because the radio is using more juice even at idol to keep a lock on the towers.

Since telus roams the other major service provider here in Canada via contract we have stronger signal available usually with out the radio working very hard or as hard as the srpint one.

there is my therory
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] richrosa:
This sounds very plausible. Last night I left my phone on "idle" without a charger all night (almost 10 hours) and the battery lost only 5% by checking emails every 2 hours. There are times when I make calls and the battery doesn't slip much at all, and other times when it slips badly.

Is there any way for someone to test the battery while "idle" in an area where the signal is known not to be strong and can be verified by monitoring the Diamond internals?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karana:
Back from my Titan/Vogue days (a couple of weeks ago) the Radio ROMs were cross carrier compatible. Is it not possible to dump the Radio from the Telus Diamond and use it on the Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sle118:
Just installed version 2.2. Looks like it solved my issue with the Telus stock image where using the long keypress to rotate the screen resulted in giving the focus back to the phone app. After trying various action combinaions, it looks like this works fine now.

The following problem appeared:

Activesync cannot connect to my PC anymore.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1- Connect the USB cable

2- Vista sees the device and installs drivers

3- I get a prompt on the device

4- I choose ActiveSync connection on the device

5- ... nothing happens. no connection

Any suggestion?

Was DCD an active contributor or is this there because of the Carrier Cabs? I really would like to see a rom come out of DCD. Don't get me wrong I love the Juicy ROM but I am really looking forward to cooking my own ROM using a DCD kitchen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] anish3232:
Sprint does use Verizon to roam. Verizon has the most CDMA towers in America, followed by Sprint. So if Sprint doesnt get signal Im 99% sure its has to be using Verizon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karana:
Verizon does not however allow EVDO roaming on its network and I think this is where the issue starts surfacing.

hey juicy any way i could beta test you 2.3 rom for sprint :> i wont release it to spj you got my word on it :>
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Mr. X-:
yes but it will mess up your MIP and evdo Auth.

do you have to record these settings before flashing and put them back via epst.

problem is im not sure if you can dump a CDMA radio.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] badace3569:
No, I haven't. I'll have to try that and report back.

I had this problem yesterday. All I did was re-enable the Windows Mobile Driver in the Device Manager.

Go Control Panel>System>Device Manager>Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter. Right click and select "Enable".

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sle118:
Oh well. I should have mentionned that I am on vista and that when connecting the device to the PC, a Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #2 was created. Still, the connection established.

I solved the problem by performing a reboot of the PC. It's a bit extreme, but a real quick fix.

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] WarlockLord:
Sadly, Sprint doesn't really own ANY towers anymore. They sold off just about all of their network off to another company who they now lease their own towers from. A shame, another sign they're going to fail soon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karana:
Well, not entirely true that its a sign its going to fail. Its a common Real Estate practice to sell and re-lease property for a company. That ways they are not responsible for the upkeep of the property and the contracts automatically cover the physical mantainence of those buildings/towers. It makes total economic sense for a company to outsource anything that is not its core competency especially in these troubled times.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smokinjoe:
Ok, im not sure what's going on... But in 2.1 I was able to install the gmail application - now, i can't.

Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Yeah, I agree with you.

It's weird though, because my previous Sprint device (an Instinct, which was a horrible device but to its credit got good battery life) could go like 2 days if I was just making a few calls. I mean, it would be roaming on the same towers, right? I guess it is just the Diamond radio is that bad? And this would mean that we have to wait on Sprint/HTC for a fix right? I mean, no one can develop a radio fix, correct?

On a kinda related note... after some time with the WindSprint rom... I notice that my battery is not running nearly as hot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bobbenedetti:
Telus 2.3B1 looks real good

Compared to 2.2

It feels more stable

Touch is more precise

Performance on window opening, app loading, tab changing noticeably faster

Battery Life: I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what a full day looks like but Battery monitor gives 17/79 with BT on compared to 17/97 on 2.1 and 2.2

13/73 with BT off

Looking real good Juicy

Thank you for the large menu fonts
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] leanne:

No, the thank you was there out of respect. DCD is one of the best guys on XDA imo, and I used to always flash his roms on my P4000 aka Mogul

ok so i changed the PP on sprint 2.2 from 6mb to 20mb last night... have had the phone off the charger for about 7.5 hours now... had about 8 calls, surfed for 15 mins or so and had like7 texts... checked my emails twice(using send/recieve ontop of my 2 hour update)...

the 20mb pp is pretty wicked, everything is crazy smooth... i have 66% battery right now... so i'm not hatin on the batterylife much, but we'll have to see a day when i reeeaally put the diamond to work... Who knows tho, by then 2.3 will be out lol

Day 1 Report.. using a Sprint Diamond.

Flashed 2.2 Sprint last night, did a couple hard resets + soft reset after just to be sure :)

Didn't install anything new into the mix except: No Curtains cab and a "Data Backup 3.1" PIM backup program.

Couple of notes..

Battery seemed HORRID today, lost about 5% every 15 minutes of non usage, leveled out a bit. All in all lost 95% battery charge after 11 hours of light to moderate usage, light web browsing, no email, no text messaging and only maybe 20 minutes of phone usage. No real media playback either. Phone sat in my pocket most of the day.

Keep getting a "Voice command" error, where it shuts itself down. I can re-enable it but it errors out again at random. Not sure whats going on with that.

Also, I imported my backed up data via "Data Backup 3.1" (not sure who makes it, I got it off here somewhere). After the backup every time I go to the Messaging tab (for text Messaging) it crashes TF3D and reloads automagically. There is no way once I loaded the backup data to access the text messaging function. Easy fix is to just not reload the backed up text messages but maybe this is a deeper problem?

Opera and every other app had some weird mix up when put into landscape mode. It would go into landscape mode but if I hit any button it would load the phone app and call the last #! I finally gave up trying forced landscape.

Otherwise.. things seemed okay. Not sure why my phone doesnt seem to respond favorably to Jucy 2.2 (Updated) for Sprint.

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hussain ali:
thank you for quick reply.

yes I have noticed that, but could not understand what dose CDMA mean?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] klmsu19:
idk what you guys are doing that youre having such horrible battery life.

took it off the charger at about 8am. 10 min of calls, prob 10 min of browsing and 2 email accounts checking ever 4 hours. its 1045pm and i still have 50% left including usage and 14 hours standby on Juicy 2.2

sounds like something bigger is wrong like a bad device/battery than the ROM because its just fine on my Sprint Diamond. 5% every 15 min is NOT normal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Drybonz:
Lots of people are getting really bad battery life on their Sprint phones. I can't believe that it is a bad device issue... there aren't THAT many bad devices floating around... maybe if it was a couple isolated incidents.

Most likely is bad radio performance in areas with low signal as Juggalo suggested.

I'm glad you aren't having problems with yours though. The people that are having problems aren't "doing" anything. That's the point. We are getting bad drain even when the device is idle, such as overnight.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kevyli85:
Just to note. I'm on 2.2 with Sprint and my battery life seems just fine. Just about the same as the Touch.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] biggggant:
For the phone app popping up I used the same registry hack that we used on the touch

HKLM>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>SHELL Then I edited the ShowTitleBarClock to 2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] EnemyNSA:
To clarify...

I previously had a Touch, and the battery life was very hit or miss on that device too. I never loaded any custom ROMs, but the stock Sprint rom would go from 100%-10% overnight some nights.. all seemed very random.

I got in the habit of leaving the phone on the charger overnight so it'd be full in the morning, I do this with the Diamond now.

I do go in and out of large buildings all day with varying levels of service throughout the buildings, but a good 4 hours of my day is spent on our lovely interstate freeway system here in California (a la Traffic) so signal is uniformly good in those parts.

The phone does get very hot at random times (a common occurrence).

Should I try a reflash for the heck of it.. or?

I am using Ghetto kitchen to build my first ROM. You got a couple questions:

1) How do I add an app, such as Resco? I have a cab file.

2) how do I remove an existing app such PHM Registry Editor? just remove its folder in OEM?

3) how do I remove telus OEM? or any other telus I need to remove?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HorhayAtAMD:
Gone back to 2.1

First off, I'm on Telus. Here are my notes about 2.2 and why I've "downgraded":

1. Battery life is worse. This could be because of the page pool but one thing I noticed is that Opera in 2.2 seemed to spend much more time downloading data on the sites that I would visit. In previous ROMs, the page would load, I'd read it, and I'd go back to Home leaving Opera running in the background. This shouldn't be a battery drain unless it is actually downloading data. Several times on 2.2 I've gone back to Opera and noticed that the "Reload" icon was actually the "Stop" icon, suggesting that it was actively using the data connection. This would explain the atrocious battery life. It is very possible that the sites this happens on use Flash.

2. Again with Opera: Opera wouldn't work on one of the sites I went to: www.zdnet.com. ZDNet returned some message that it couldn't recognize the request from my browser and gave me a java.lang error.

3. And again with Opera: This happened to me on stock Telus ROM, 2.0, and again with 2.2 where my ThumbKey keyboard wouldn't work properly in Opera. With ThumbKey, you enter a word and after you enter it and the word is sent to the text entry field in the application, ThumbKey will offer you a list of words that you may have meant to enter instead. If you choose one of those words, it deletes the original word and enters the new one. Yeah, I know it seems a bit backwards but it works perfectly well in everything but Opera. This also works perfectly in Opera on the 2.1 ROM.

4. And finally with Opera: The zoom was neat but it would block links in the lower left hand corner of the page and I couldn't figure out how to click on them. With the Diamond's scroll wheel, the zoom slider is practically useless.

5. I'm sorry that I can't give you any better specifics but my phone seemed far less stable with 2.2 than with any other ROM. In the couple days that I used 2.2, my phone froze twice and my music player stopped playing sound once. Soft resets fixed it in each case.

Most of these issues are traced directly back to Opera. I just think the version in 2.2 is not a great version.

Hope that helps. Once again, thanks for all the great work. Hope you don't think my post is negative, it really isn't. I'm simply offering my feedback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Juicy47:
Thanks for the update Horhay.

I'm on 2.3B2, so I can't speak to 2.2 anymore.

just loaded zdnet.coma and it was very quick, with no errors.

I minimized opera, and returned and the icon was still "reload" and not "stop". I did edit some of the files when I added java support for the 2392 build, and I may have fixed the problem then... I basically reverted to an older settings/provisioning file for Opera. I don't think anything is wrong with the build itself
