dia duit 1.6.9 beta is out for testing...

dia duit 1.6.9 beta is out for testing purposes

news/changes:

upgraded sys+xip to 21056

updated video filters + latest working youtube (2.6)

restored "old" facebook engine due to some errors in facebook contacts retrivial

reintroduced long press end key, not present anymore in the control panel, but effectively present, just keep pressed for 3 seconds the end key to see the menu and eventually change options

upgraded some packages, such as teeter, streaming media, volume control, etc...

corrected the bug related to absent bluetooth status icon

included latest rilphone.dll for diamond (1.15), perfect for latest radio (1.17), look always in repository for a fresh copy

some minor corrections in the sUC package

notes:

should be tested the facebook contacts retrivial

should be tested the streaming media package

facebook/youtube upload feature was definitively removed due to new album package integration troubles, use instead the good (and working) Microsoft application (published a copy in the repository)

I'm preparing a cab from Amarullz package for enabling video call

some tips:

if you use AS (ActiveSync) answer yes/keep at 1st setup configuration menu, once installation is finished remove fake server from AS list & configure yours

if you don't use AS answer no/remove at 1st setup configuration menu, once installation is finished simply open AS, set as manual retrivial (both), close AS & launch ram recovery feature, it will close automatically AS & will clean the notification queue, so AS wont popup anymore

help/suggestion needed: as you know automatic backup will start every night at 4.30AM, before effectively launch the backup the script will check & kill automatically for any dead process, this to save some ram & at the same time keep clean device memory, so I need to know which app/software & its exe name you noticed they stay live in memory or imply sometimes they crash & busy our precious ram as dead process... I'm compiling the "kill" list but it's filled with just the programs I use regularly

the kill list if complete could be useful also to run the system without any task manager active, so we can save some memory & have a more efficient device too, it wont be necessary anymore to ensure that a process is effectively closed because during the night the system will close it automatically for us :cool:

I made some tests without task manager & the device seems more responsive even if it gets very fat near to the evening, but with a complete list shouldn't be a problem anymore, so write here your kill list :D

any other suggestion is very appreciated, thank you

bye,

davide

I try many other ROM with WM 6.5.x...

Now I reflash your last rom and... it's the best for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
I tried many combinations wm65 + sense 2.5 or simply wm61 + sense 2.5 as goal having an "every day usable" rom but it's almost not possible, or better the system works but results are embarrassing due to lack of free ram left by the system after few hours of "normal" usage

the better solution for having a good sense 2.5 base system is to upgrade to something else with more ram on board... I don't see any other solution

anyway staying with a well balanced wm6.1 isn't a pain, there are lot of themes & extra software to have a nice shell together a responsive system
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] venuz:
flashed 1.6.9 from 25.01. all work fine as usual with dia duit. :)

tried facebook retrieval, it works.

and i'm happy now with functional bt-icons. suiller, can you share this secret with community, how these icons were restored? :) and thank you for great update.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndavidetnt:
After being very happy with your roms for 4 months, I've been starting to look for something cooler as far as "look" is concerned.

I tried something like 10 roms among the most popular ones in this forum. I found out that dia duit is absolutely the best in usability and in being a "ready to use" rom. Two reasons above all: the sUC and the best balanced win 6.1.

But it seems to me that sense 2.1 is not too far from classic manila in terms of performance. I found a sense 2.1 rom (I'll not write its name since I don't know if it's polite to do so in another rom thread) that lacks only of "your" tweaks and sUC (and it's full of many useless programs). Many words to say I think your Sense2.1 rom would be absolutely usable. just my opinion! However thanks of your hard work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xianheyk:
Screenshots do there? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
related to bt icon I forgot to include taskbar package were are present bt icons plus other status icons, before 1.6.7 taskbar was included in another package then I divided in 2 parts, as usual, because I was preparing the structure for sense 2.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
look at 1st page 1st post :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
in my opinion sense 2.1 has nothing really new, it's just "nicer" to my eyes :p

speaking about performance you are right... they feel very similar, the problem is, like always, ram consumption becomes very high after 1 whole day of regular usage... probably I will release an "alternative" dia duit version based on 2.1 but not in few days... really busy at work & I need a rock stable phone :cool:

any changes in 1.6.9 from 01.26 since 01.25?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
just optimized some images (png) ... even if still working on, so no really need to upgrade right now in your case ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
In Manila under "Weather" there's a "My location" option.

It didn't work in 1.6.7. I've tried standing outside for minutes, long after tomtom could track my location and "My location" and it still didn't work. It also didn't work on any other connection (to PC, for example)

In 1.6.8, "My location" could determine my location based on AS connection (which is pretty amazing). It still couldn't determine my location with GPS though.

So if 1.6.9 uses the same Manila I expect it to behave the same. That said it's not a very useful feature anyways ... it often takes minutes for GPS to lock-in and it also doesn't work indoor.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Htc86:
If I recall correctly, you have to enable geolocation in masterscript, then it should work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Htc86:
Suiller, your roms are in my opinion "creme de la creme"...there is no other rom with that speed, fluidity and stability...it is a bit power hungry in the "tweaked" mode (which is understandable), but it's all worth it! Kudos to you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
geo location is a combination of GPS coordinates + weather condition for those coordinates

so you need:

1. activate geo location stuff from master script (as previous suggested by another friend)

2. restart your phone

3. have, at least 1st time, a good gps reception (need some seconds after a fresh restart) + a working internet connection

in my opinion... simply absolutely useless because I can easily add my city by hand & or simply can be added such as a reg entry processed after every hard-reset/rom upgrade :rolleyes:

this is the complete & working example for London:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"WorldClock.CityList"="EUR|UK|UK001|LONDON"
"Weather.CityList"="EUR|UK|UK001|LONDON"
"Data.AutoDownloadOff"=dword:00000001
"Weather.CurrentCity"=dword:00000001

:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
thx friend, yep the tweaked mode has a greater cache, but principally has a different thread priority configuration, this is the real reason why boosted mode takes more battery, anyway some "tips" can save more battery than expected, for example:

turning video off during calls

setting auto-suspend after few seconds after lock

don't run unused services, for example I run master script to turn on BT stuff only when I really need it (luckily very seldom)

remove all the "vibro stuff" such as: vibro on connection, vibro on call, vibro on pad, on manila tab, etc...

force gsm (or umts) reception

call just smart friends :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
I agree ... I just want to try all the features ... but you're right, even if it works, I'd probably turn it off and just enter my city name. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Htc86:
I'll keep that one in mind :)

Really, all those 6.5 roms with sense aren't the way to go...I mean, a bad, slow and unresponsive rom can really ruin the whole diamond experience...but with dia duit rom I've got the speed of snapdragon...it just feels outstanding!

Apart from that, how much does the Ram disk integration contribute to the whole experience?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] moleg:
any changes in 1.6.9 from 01.27 since 01.26?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep...

finished to optimize all png/jpeg/gif/bmp in the kitchen, so images can't be stripped any more... from stripping where excluded HtcCalculator + YouTube app due to troubles with (ultra) compressed png

corrected a script in the sUC package

tested latest rilphone (1.15.xx) with latest radio both respectively with GSM & UMTS band & all seems to work correctly

tested a couple of java versions (found the 20081203SD is the only working with "fishtext" service :rolleyes:)

still testing all the rest
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] :
Hello Suiller,

I'm using your rom, now the last 1.6.9, and I'm very glad with it. Everything works well and fast.

I'm using a lot the sms and very often I must copy and paste data from the messages. In your rom, the message threads are managed by the white interface, pretty but useless for copy words and sentences for previous messages. At least, I don't know how to do it, only forwarding the messages but it is an unconvenience and slow way.

My inquiry is about if it is possible to disable it and to use the old, but ready for copy and paste, original WM6.1 sms thread, the which one with blue and red letters for sender and recipient.

One cab, or one registry key or even the package name that I have to remove from the kitchen will be very appreciated.

I agree that sense 2.1 and 2.5 are not suitable for the diamond. The hardware is very limited and they make the diamond a slow device, battery drainer and not useful for daily use. I prefer a good and fast device rather than a cooler, prettier and useless one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
if you use sms from the manila tab it calls the "classic" style while using the people tab it uses the white (htc) interface, anyway you mean enabling sms chat?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] :
Yes, I guess enabling sms chat is what I need :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
if I remember should be here in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled

change from 1 to 0
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] :
I have changed the register key but it is not what I would like to have, but we are approaching to it... :)

When I receive a message and I click on it, it appears the white HTC thread, the which one I have attached. I would like to deactivate it and to use by default the classic sms style. Is it possible?

It doesn't matter if I lost the white HTC dialer and white HTC contact data page. Maybe, the rom without the white HTC stuff can be even more faster, more free ram and less battery drainer...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... I understood, I just tried & didn't realize it before because I use always the sms tab from manila, so there copy/paste works

if I remember well should exists a package called something like "copy paste enhance" that should do what you need, but I dunno if it will work on manila 2.1... have to check
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] psixda:
Any news about wm6.1+sense2.1? That would be a great combo ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] first_damned:
HTC HD Roms

Hi Suiller,

any plans on getting a HTC HD and cooking roms for it?

as your rom was my favourite for the Diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] :
I tried many roms with your combo proposal and all of them were slower, more ram eater and not so good for daily use as dia duit rom. If you want this combo you can try with other roms. There are many.

Diamond has hardware limitations: few memory, little battery and a just-ok processor, so the most simple rom the better.

Of course, that's my opinion :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Sense2.1 doesn't offer much more than the latest Manila, except for more animations and eye candies, but drains even more memory and CPU power, and is simply too taxing for the TD1.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sj.wasan:
Thank suiller

I want to change LZX Compression Please help me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
in which sense??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hi friend, pleased to see you again :D

no I don't think to pass to another device except than the new htc hd2, even if I love smaller devices & above all hd2 is too much expansive to my tastes, the diamond is/was perfect, pity it has low ram on board

the best from htc would be a mobile equal to diamond, speaking on dimension, but with the double of ram & a changeable microSD card
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sj.wasan:
I changed the cecompr.dll in OEMXIPKernel and os.nb.payload to Bulid a LZX, but the error

I like LZX it will have areas of increased ROM.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] first_damned:
Hello friend thanks for your reply.

Yes the HD2 is way too expensive, I got a second hand HD. Its a shame about the ram but its still a good phone. Especially with your roms!

I have recommended your rom to my close friend and he is sticking with it.

Many thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Sounds like Diamond 2 to me ... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stanislav.bebej:
Hi Davide,

thank you for another great ROM. I've been using the original HTC Rom which wasn't really that slow. What I missed was the huge space and your special touch (sUC) so I'm back with your ROM again :-).

Keep up the good work. I'm really pleased you don't consider upgrading every time new device is on market and that you're staying with us - the original Diamond community :-).

Stanislav.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
oh friend, welcome back :D

this is your family, happy to see you with us again ;)

regarding the change of device, money apart, I really don't feel the need, also because like explained before the BIG advantage of our poor/old device are its normal dimensions

I played a bit with a new iphone, very nice but it's very heavy & above all don't fit very well in my pocket

about diamond2 I must say that I was a bit disappointed when I tested it because, again, htc hasn't put in my opinion the necessary amount of ram

the only wm based device, today, that has the right amount of ram is the hd2 :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
I read something about this but had no time to make research, I read also that is possible to save some space (about 8/10mb) but this will cost about 5% of pure performance of the whole rom, anyway can you drive me in the right thread/direction? I can try and give my opinion
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karlanal:
a question

what happened with the titanium version of your rom

tnx

greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
emh... time... I have very few spare time, so many things I'd like to do are hard to get...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
OK I got it, I took inspiration from the user/fellow boog321 so I downloaded the needed files, modded the kitchen & its batch files, now it will ask if cook with LZX or normal... it seems to work also because now I get more than 120mb free storage after a full flash :D

we have to make some tests if the device goes slower during a whole day of normal usage, if you are ready I can publish the modded kitchen + rom for testing purposes, I replaced the file cecompr.dll from XIP, the cecompr_nt from TOOLS & modified the kitchen batch files to automatize all the stuff
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
dia duit 1.6.9 beta2 is out for testing purposes

news/changes:

LZX compressed rom, anyway was updated also the kitchen so it's possible for cooks to choose if enable LZX compression or leave the rom untouched

the rom now has high priority index as default

all seems working but like always it's a beta so must tested carefully on every day usage :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndavidetnt:
dia duit 1.6.9 beta2 is much faster then the previous beta on my diamond... how can it be?

Apart from this, I've to ask you all an "how to do" with pimbackup: I would like to schedule the backup of some files (config files) stored onto the device memory and, after flashing a new rom, restore them in their correct folder (e.g. a keyboard config file should be restored only after the keyboard has been installed). I don't want / I can not install some programs on internal storage!

is there a way to do this? thanks in advance for your answer(s)!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndavidetnt:
simply great! thank you, I'll try at the next flash; The language is a big problem since I'm italian too!

a stupid question: how to make a reg file? simply open a notepad window on my pc and save it with .reg extension?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
exactly... remember only that 1st line must be something like:

REGEDIT4

rename your txt as .reg & put it under REG folder, so it will processed during 1st setup

if you want import a reg file alone just open trough file explorer, it will be opened with default reg app ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndavidetnt:
What I like most of windows mobile is the possibility to learn new things simply starting from everyday needs!

ps. thanks again suiller
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
latest changes/news on BETA2 dated on 3 February (today):

added java, finally I found a perfect working Java version for my needs (I use it trough fishtext java app to send sms at low price), I made some changes to speed-up the java stuff: optimized images, removed unused stuff, corrected a couple of reg entries in particular made fonts more readable

added to sUC' kill list some "new" apps

reorganized the kitchen : made some changes in the scripts (so now are more flexible), removed unused stuff, updated a couple of dll

bye,

No image file

Hi everyone,

I had this problem once, my post on page 109. When I tried to flash new ROM Beta2 from Internal storage and I'm getting "No image file". I tried formating to FAT -> FAT32 -> Format Internal Storage from phone -> FAT -> FAT32, nothing helped. The file was renamed to DIAMIMG.nbh, DIAMIMG.NBH, diamimg.nbh, nothing worked. Any ideas?

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] moleg:
Thank you for the latest kitchen. calculator in the kitchen 10.02.01 does not work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... have you tried formatting trough mtty?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
emh... please redownload the kitchen there was an error in the script system, the good one (tested this morning) is 04 Feb (100204)

try also the "new" rom where the calculator should work fine... at least here works :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MacAdder:
sorry if i mess up my post... its my first time. does anyone else have a problem with their internal storage renaming itself to "internal storage2" this of course screws up the file locations and i am unable to rename it back to "internal storage". I have noticed this happens when connecting to winxp.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
strange... never happened to me... do you connect your mobile trough activesync or as mass storage?

bye,

davide
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] OokOnbekend:
Think you are looking in the right direction, probably connected the device as mass storage and installed something during this connection. Have seen this once myself.

rgrds,

Harold
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] seatone:
This is not a ROM issue. It heppends if you connect ur device as mass storage and a prog calls the storage in the meantime.

Just copy all the subfolders created in the internslstorage 2 or whatever called, to your reaL IS and delete that internalstorage2 folder (it's just a folder).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sskogen:
First of all, great work, and thank you for sharing with us.

Then, I have a request. Please read the entire request and don't dismiss it out of hand as "yet another non-English-language-request" until you've read it. I'm not asking for a localized language of the rom itself. Actually I prefer the WWE version over a Norwegian one, since the WWE version includes the block recognizer.

However, WWE ROM cookers assume that all users of WWE versions also have English as their native language. And assume that they will only want to communicate with English language readers. Or?

Back to the request: Could you please consider for the next version to include (quite possibly for installation on the 4GB partition) the T9 and keyboards for the rest of the European languages that use the ISO8859-1 character set? This shouldn't increase the footprint of the firmware much, but will increase usability for non-English users a lot. Please?

//Svein
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
Yep I think you're right... even if (personally) I hate T9 :cool: it could be useful for others

I don't make other languages simply because it's more easy to find updated version/prog/sys/xip/etc... in WWE but speaking about T9 you are right... could be insane to think to add a cab as extra??

bye,

davide
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
thank you friend for the correct explanation, anyway I strongly don't suggest to attach the mobile as mass storage if not necessary... emh... at home I connect always as mass storage but I don't have windoze :p so I have no choice

Hi,

anyone experiencing problem with HTC "Music" playing in mono (or better, playing just one channel)? When I play the same track in GSPlayer, it sounds normal, I can clearly hear both channels.
