just give us(me) the new1.6.8

dont need enything else

found a spb shell that looks and works like android and its great

it allso has a people tab like the manilla 2.5 which is way more comfortable than the manilas old flipping people tab(which looks better tho)

thx

greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HkDng:
Thank you very much for your hard work.

As my opinion, you complete 1.6.8 ver Manila2.1 and SENSE 2.1, no need to develop SENSE2.5.

I really do not like SENSE2.5 cos its people tab ( I always use People tab to make a call or send a message, very convenience in Manila 2.1 ỏ SENSE2.1)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
If you could stop the weather over the main menu i think the bigest slowdown can be solved and also save some ram.From what i tested there are roms with some free ram and have sense 2.5 one of the best in my opinion is geny D2X R2 but also suffers from the slowdown "wheather over the menu" but not so bad as athor roms i saw.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cellneuron:
WM6.1 + Sense 2.1 is the way to go.

Look forward to this release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Anyone using tf3d config on 1.6.8? Coz i cand makeit work and i've tried every solution i found on the tf3d config thread.I whant to put the sprint like theme and dont know how without this tool :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
if tf3d config doesn't work probably is because the 3.7 netcf package included in dia duit rom... you can try by installing 3.5 netcf cab or to make a clean job download the kitchen, remove the ntcf37 folder, replace with netcf35 folder & recook he whole thing ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
OK friends I've just published the (almost) final 1.6.8 version, for my needs it's complete, but of course I can't satisfy all tastes :rolleyes:

news/changes:

updated many packages (for ex. latest htc Calculator, QuickGPS, etc...)

corrected a bug in the sUC package

gained a bit of ram by tuning some unused services

some notes to know:

if you don't use AS (ActiveSync) remember to disable on 1st run/setup, then when installation is completed (after a fresh boot) simply open AS & put both checks as "manual", close AS & launch ram recovery... this will automatically adjust the AS queue for life :cool:

if you use AS, remember to don't remove/disable AS on 1st run, then after installation open AS, remove the fake server & configure yours

for keyboard I suggest to use fingerkeybd, it's light & almost 99% bug free, some posts back you can find the instructions to move the fingerkeybd installation to Internal Storage & configure right reg entries, so you can avoid its reinstallation after every cook/HR... of course you can directly install into main memory too using sUC (simply copy the whole fingerkeybd folder under CPY & correct reg entries according to the new path)

as you can see is included an "old" but very stable youtube package this choice just for having a working youtube client for everyday usage, I suggest for full youtube usage to look for official youtube.com mobile development, point your mobile browser to http://m.youtube.com & download the latest cab

I've included too the facebook login/upload library, needed by some other external app (not included in the rom), like above I suggest to start looking for official facebook mobile application

have fun,

davide
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HkDng:
Download and flash right now.

Thank you very much.

Need to do HARD RESET after flashing?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
sorry to bore you friend but I'm not an expert about spb shell but I tested once & I was very impressed can you drive me what "exactly" are you using?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
highly recommended... or you could encounter some "strange" behaviors :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karlanal:
you have 3 screens

the home screen, the left screen and the right screen

i have organized them like this

and it works like a charm

ill send you the needed files

greetings

suiller you have a PM with the files
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] venuz:
thank you.

and happy new year. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spotgr:
So far(4 hours)...working fine! Great work! Happy New year suiller!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] realazyjai:
Happy New Year suiller !

Thanks for all your hard work throughout the year - i will definitly give this a run !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] venuz:
last 1.6.8. build

last build seems to be fine - stable and fast as usual. although there is no bluetooth indication. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep... it's our quality sign :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
thx friend & happy new year to all :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] evalabonazza:
Hey guy test your rom, dia duit 1.6.8, radio 1.17.25.09, on rillphone is necessary or not ?

Happy 2010

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
not needed, yet included the last one from latest rom :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
I have a question not related with the rom :) (but the rom its great so far) Is there a way to make the phone come out of stand by using another button besides the unconfortable side button?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
the hardware answer button :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HkDng:
What is side button?

Normally: pull out stylus or press power button.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] celoni:
hi suiller i try your last kitchen to cook my own rom....but i've a strange problem with microsoft visual studio C++...i attacched the image-error....what i've to do???

i've the same problem with the kitchen of yozgatg...but i didn't found any solution!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... very strange, have you tried to upgrade your visual c++ library?

anyway have you tried with basic (as you downloaded) kitchen before modifying something? just to ensure it's a c++ library trouble instead a "human" mistake ;)

check also that you have app.reg under every app folder & you don't have an empty folder, a missing reg file or empty folder can generate that error too :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] celoni:
how i can upgrade the visual C++ library???

for the app.reg i didn't change nothing...and all are ok....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
This means i cant put the power button on the round middle button? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Sorry to ask a stupid question, but does this version of 1.6.8 use the same Manila as 1.6.7? Or should I wait for the next version?

That'd be my biggest incentive for an upgrade.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] khot_ta_bit_136:
I had upgrade from 1.6.7 to 1.6.8 dia duit rom. The icons on the top bar look like different with previous rom. I like the icons at the 1.6.7 (so cool)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
same manila version but upgraded some packages, soon as possible I'll publish the same rom but with sense 2.1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
take the old kitchen + the new one & move taskbar folder (under COMMON) from old kitchen to the new one :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Thanks! Maybe I'll wait for that one then! ;)

Part of me is skeptical how the Diamond will handle Sense 2.1 .... it seems like it's pretty maxed out already running this manila version and anything more taxing will make the phone pretty slow and sluggish ... but I'm willing to give that a try!

Thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
I think you should cook a version with sense 2.5 :) it's usable with some stuff turned off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] psixda:
I can't wait to see the new rom with sense 2.1!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] celoni:
Solved...thanks for the help!!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Cand you provide the cab for suspend from left soft key? Thanx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
there is no cab friend... it's just a mortscript command ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Can you make a cab then? pretty please :) I'm using Geny d2x i realy like sense 2.5 but the performance is terrible, I'm waiting for your sense 2.1 rom or il be switching back on 1.6.8
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Anicane:
After flashing to your rom, my Diamond seems to drain lots of battery. In about 7 hours it got to 50% without even touching it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
I've tested some roms with wm6.1+sense 2.1 or 2.5 and all of them are laging.Damn if i had in manila 2.1 peope tab+manila locker+program bar +1st tab weather all like in sense 2.5 and to be as smooth like rom 1.6.8 whould be great. I think there is more work needed on the ported versions of sense coz there to slow :(

Sorry for spamming your thred with 3-4 posts on one page :) I have a little request coz im back on 1.6.8 after my little andventure on sense 2.5 roms.Can you make a cab to limit the programs shortcuts to 24 (2 screens) and the posibility to add a soft key to the programs tab in the script whould be cool. Thanx in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DEN!S:
Hello, suiller. I have some questions, but i didn't find answers on them.

1) There is something strange in task bar icons (here are sceenshots http://img.picsa.ru/pictures/0/000/027/965/27965.png http://img.picsa.ru/pictures/0/000/027/968/27968.png)

2) How to make my opera launch from manila Internet tab?

3) Is it possible to make wifi not to turn off when screen turns off?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
For #2, you have to make Opera the default browser. Do a quick search on this forum to find how ... off the top of my head you just go to Opera, type Opera:config in the address bar, and select "Launch Browser the first time", close browser and relaunch it, and it will be the default browser.

#3 - MS designed wifi to go off when the screen is turned off, because wifi is a battery killer. There may be tweaks around it, but you may not want that anyways because you can literally see the battery level drop with wifi on.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DEN!S:
Thank you for your answer. When opera installed I made it default browser. but it doesn't work. As I remember I should edit one of manila files, but I don't know which one and how.

PS Opera 10 beta2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Well my recomandation is "disable the internet tab and make a shortcut in programs tab to opera" :) this way you save ram by disableing useless internet tab and if you use opera 10beta you already have favorit tabs integrated in browser.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] venuz:
is there a way to preserve opera favorites between reflashes/hard resets? how do you sync them with your PC?

"ie favorites" doesn't work in opera 10.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
Thx to a friend I'm testing 1.6.8 with the latest mobile shell & another world came to my eyes :D it simply works perfect & I'm really thinking to switch from htc shell to mobile's one

I'm preparing just for myself an almost clean rom based on 1.6.8 for using it expressly with mobile shell... so much much more free space on main device & above all much free memory availability... if someone else is interested I can publish in the repository... just let me know :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spotgr:
Sounds good...im waiting for this release!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nsourm:
+1 for me.

Are you going to publish and kitchen without manilla?

I've used your 1.6.7 rom without manilla and it works perfect.

Thanks for your hard work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hamish909:
Very looking forward to it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndavidetnt:
+1 for mobile shell! thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Mobile's one? are you talking about SPB mobile shell 3.5?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Well i used mobile shell 3 and 3.5 a few weeks, its more eficient compared to manila but it not so fancy :) Talking about the animations in the shell 3.5 you only have a few pages to slide arround and the carusell i find that useless.No animated weather, no moveing icons :) and sliders. Maybe they will makeit better visualy in the future version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Hmm this is VERY interesting David.

Now, we all know HTC Manila is a memory and power hog ... but is SPB Mobile Shell any better in that regard? Looking at the demo, I can't imagine SPB Mobile shell taking any LESS memory and power than Manila 2.1 judging from its animation and level of customization. If you're telling me it doesn't run any more sluggish than Manila 2.1 though, then sign me up! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blaze2k:
Just tested mobile shell 3.5.3 with the sense UI theme, looking sharp but its a little slow when slideing from a screen to another :) It's preaty eficient but it would be nice to have more animations.Overall impresion its slower then manila 2.1. And the ram consumtion is dinamic, with this theme seems to suck more ram then manila but with the default theme a little less.Any way i dont understand why sense 2.5 dosent work faster even with 4 tabs enabled lags :(

Can you integrate touchflo 3d config in the final version of the rom? coz i cand makeit work and no theme changeing whitout :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
I upgraded to 1.6.8 (couldn't wait any longer ... heh) and everything's working fine. The ROM is stable and runs well as previous ROM's but ...

- David, you said it has some new packages like calculator and QuickGPS ... but I really don't notice any difference in those applications since the upgrade?

- Is it just me, or are some taskbar icons missing since the upgrade? For example, in the past when BT headset was connected I got a BT icon ... not anymore.

- Under Manila, Contacts -> All People -> Updates and Events. If I click "Update" to update the facebook contacts, it'll say "Updating..." but then it'll get stuck. The contacts never get updated. Even resetting the phone doesn't help. This used to work perfectly fine under 1.6.7.

- If I go to Settings -> Connections ->Account manager, I can supposedly sign in to my youtube / facebook account. But as soon as I click "Sign in" the application closes and nothing happens ... is this a bug?

Otherwise 1.6.8 is really similar to 1.6.7 ... it does seem to take up a little memory and is just as stable and slick as 1.6.7.

Thanks David!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nsourm:
clean rom

Hello suiller

When do yoy plan to publish your clean rom without manilla?

Thanks a lot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
1. probably not evidence differences, but packages are newer

2. no you right, BT icon is missing but had no time to find the answer

3. have to check, sincerely I use very seldom facebook & company

4. thx for testing ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
I'm very busy at work right now, you can do it by yourself... it's very simple, download the kitchen, remove GenY + manila + album folders, recompile the whole world & install the mobile shell
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
Thanks David! Can other users of 1.6.8 verify if you have the same problem with facebook integration? I did a SPB restore this time so not sure if the restore is throwing me off or if it's a ROM problem.

As for manila, it's always a dilemma. on one hand, it's eye candy and it's also useful. Once you're used to it, you can't really live without. OTOH it is such a big memory hog and slows everything down. For now though, my choice would be to keep it .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nsourm:
Suiller i've tried that but deleting manill registry folder,the taskbar (on the upper right corner) dissapears.You can delete geny manilla and album folder without having any trouble.

Is there something that i must not delete in manilla registry folder?

Ans something else in setting\connections there is an icon account manager,that i think it's for sence 2.5.How can i disable it?

Thanks a lot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
facebook engine has changed, or better was updated, so that could be the trouble, you could try this, right now I'm far from home:

1. download 1.6.7 kitchen

2. download 1.6.8 kitchen

3. erease the facebook engine folder in the 1.6.8 kitchen & substitute with the one from to 1.6.7

4. compile the new rom & try if it works ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hamed57:
thanks for this great job

would you please use new sensor sdk by Kisja in advance release?

it can solve camera problems!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep sure, studying :cool:

even if really busy at work this weekend I made some tests trough the latest news... and even if I tried all ways, as supposed, I really don't like the behaviour of our diamond with sense 2.5, or better it's very nice but our "old" device has too low ram on board to manage it

sense 2.1 has nothing new except icons compared to classic manila 2.1, and above all it just sucks more memory

I tried & tried & tried all combinations, removing all the unused stuff but our device with sense 2.5 becomes too slow after 1 whole day & sometimes needs a reboot to launch some software that needs much ram (such as iGO), it's very annoying... I use my phone for work & I need/prefer an older interface but fast enough for everyday usage
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] number16:
No problem David ... that's what I suspected anyways.

Honestly, fancy animation is nice, but I'd take a snappy interface that's almost as useful over unstable, sluggish ROM anyday. I think Manila 2.1 is pushing the limit of the Diamond phone as is ... and you've done an excellent job freeing as much RAM as you can already. There's only so much you can do about h/w limitation!

Thanks for the great job!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hamed57:
you are right

I have already tested most of the roms with sense 2.5 and manilia 2.1.

none of them don't have your rom stability, performance and speed!!

this rom is made for daily use.

your rom is amazing. I realy like every thing and appreciate your job.

I am waiting for next release
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bbogdann:
Very very good ROM...I have one problem...Can you increase sound in this ROM. incoming ring volum is not so loud....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep... in repository here: http://diaduit.bounceme.net/AudioPara3Louder.zip

simply unzip the file & overwrite the one under \windows folder, use total commander under sUC folder to overwrite it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bbogdann:
10x....I have to rename AudioPara3 to AudioPara?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
no... just copy & overwrite the existing one & restart to apply :D

Long Press End Key - End Data Connection ???

Hi. This reg entry makes possible the Lock Phone feature. I would like to use the "End Connection" feature...Does anybody know how?

THANKS in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
the end key package is missing from base rom, you have to find + add the relative cab
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marginean.m:
I tried to install the HTC End Key.cab from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=356192

but if I create the shortcut as instructed there and I set the Long Press End Key menu on "Always display the Quick List" some text apears when EndKey is pressed, but is all messed up, translucent and over the curent opened application...is hard to explain and a in the screenshot is not visible. If I don't create any shortcut, just instal the .CAB, nothing happens!

PS: If I set the "Terminate data connection" nothing happens in both cases.

Any ideea??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmmm... let me try, perhaps that cab isn't good anymore with new sys/manila... I've to test
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marginean.m:
ok. thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ndavidetnt:
so what could we expect in the next release? sense 2.1 or improvement of win6.1/manila 2.1?

Just a question more... have you ever considered the combination win6.5+manila 2.1 in your plans? Yes, I prefer win 6.5 but I like your tweaks and sUC and this makes me choose your win 6.1 rom. I think "your" win 6.5 + manila 2.1 will work flawlessy.

Thanks in advance for answers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
no sorry, no win65 + 2.1 I found too many bugs/unsolved troubles, right now I'm testing win 6.1 (21056 sys/xip) + classic 2.1 manila & seems to work very well... of course I'm upgrading/updating lot of packages so you wont get an "old" system ;)

ps: I just take the best from market :cool:
