I think i used pimbackup 2.8, same as the one in the rom....don't know exactly the reason, I am guessing maybe there's a difference before and after connection setup?

There. Last gremlin exorcised from the mirror solution! This one was another faulty cable.

Happy New Year to one and all - lets hope 2009 brings you - happiness and good health.

The only issue I had with this ROM so far is the slowness when HTC GPS tool and Live Search by M$. The phone could not refresh the display for a while - even after a soft reset - the issue was still there. Not really a big deal - it just took longer to find the place i was looking for :D.

Thanks for a great ROM - :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LazPL:
REALLY NICE SUILLER! But...

I really like the configuration options you've added. Sweet! Every cook should have them!!

Here's my feedback for what it's worth (sorry if I repeat what others have already said):

1. When entering a name in the TO field of a new SMS, there is no auto-complete matching against the phonebook entries (need to go "Add Recipient" manually)

2. Phone keypad is slid down by default - when I enter the phone app I need to manually slide out the keypad.

3. Biotouch. It's annoying when you try to search for things in the phone app, and you try to go up/down or left-right(to change which number to dial for instance), it is very easy to "scroll" instead. This is a feature of the new version of WinMob, so not your fault, but it would be nice to be able to turn it of selectively per app, or altogether...

Looking forward to your next version. Except for these little annoyances, IMHO, your ROM beats all the others I've tried.

Happy new 2009!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
For myself I start to type the name and hit "return" which then brings up the list which scrolls < and > rto select the contact from.

Does this not work for you?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] orchis:
Something odd is going on. I cannot answer to incoming calls. When testing, I can see the led blinking, but that's all. I cannot see who is calling and the keys do not responde. If I reboot, the phone operates for a while.

Earlier I wrote that I cannot always hang up a call, because the End Call key is not visible and the hard key does nothing. Hard resets won't help either, so it's bye, bye for this ROM, which I however like. If it just weren't so unreliable - in my case. I'll try it later again for sure.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hawk_ktulu:
hi, check if you havent run stopnovitalsvc

ive got problem when this app is running with incoming calls
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] orchis:
Thanks, but I don't even know what stopnovitalsvc is. Can i run it accidentally?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hawk_ktulu:
maybe :D

you will find stopnovitalsvc under:start->programs->system tools...maybe you have run it accidentally when you was looking and system tools?

maybe not but I have problem when stopnovitalsvc is running and someone calls me - hardware buttons are glowing, and I can do nothing...just soft reset
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] orchis:
Found it. It behaves exactly as you described above. Maybe this program is run automatically (during night?), because after a soft reset the phone works again for a while. I don't see it among the active processes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hawk_ktulu:
i dont think it is running automatically...

im waiting when davide will come from holidays to see what is the problem, because I would like to use this app during night - But im for some icon in tray to show me that stopnovitalsvc is running :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] macoy:
found another weird thing, the phone wakes up every 0:00, don't know if it's normal....just wondering what it was doing at that time. First time I tought there was an incoming call or sms, then I wait and wait, and nothing happens. Now I noticed it did it every night at 0:00
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hawk_ktulu:
it is actually 23.59 and I think all HTC are doing that..at least my diamond and brothers touch pro :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hi friend... no I've disabled as "auto-run"... at least in pre7

in pre6 is enabled as default and can give troubles
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep it's normal... at least up to pre7 ver, it's the "auto-recover ram" that works automatically every 8 hours (00.00, 08.00, 16.00)... but soon it has finished it should turn off again the phone

HAPPY NEW YEAR :cool:

I'm back to XDA forum from my long (??) holidays... a bit rested but a bit fatter too :D

here is snowing a lot... but I'm again operative at my desk, I read every single post so I know (almost) what to do...

I've heard about many bugs/troubles... as you know & read at 1st page this is an experimental/open rom, some troubles can come out due to some new features... I do all that to provide a fast & easy rom... sometimes these news must tried in different situations, I'm alone in the development so many things that for me work for other don't, in the 2nd case your help/feedback is really important

I try to do all my best to provide an usable rom, but as you know it's really hard & take TON of time, believe it or not it takes more time testing a new release instead of making it

about GPS lag I understood that the problem isn't in the chipset, nor in the radio, nor in the rom itself... it's just related to the graphic resolution... our device is really underpowered to work at 640x480... this is the fact

the trouble could be solved only by HTC for ex by publishing a new HOT graphic driver... but I think they wont publish anything (perhaps on new devices so we can take from)

anyway right now I'm updating/correcting some troubles I discovered during my holidays, so expect soon a new pre-release with some corrections

thx all

bye,

welcome back

glad you had a good rest

nice to see my favorite chef back and ready to go :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] orchis:
I'm using pre6, so the autorun is enabled. How do I switch it off? If your next version is alreaydy coming, I guess there's no point to update to pre7? Or then I just make a soft reset every morning to get the phone working.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
it's in your notification queue, just open Task Manager from System Tool, in the up-right corner then select "notification", select the correspondent line "StopNoVitalSvc", then remove it clicking on the minus red symbol (look bottom), close all + restart & the auto-run is gone :)

ps: I'll release soon a pre8 just for correcting some heavy issues (for ex youtube), but it will take more time for a new release because I've just downloaded 2.03 rom & still investigating, so it will take 3/4 days
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sskogen:
Can we work around this by introducing a buffering layer between the driver itself and the GUI? I'm thinking something along the lines of letting the gui lag behind the actual application layer, and thus get an abstraction-layer. Such a buffer could be configured to allow different priorities for applications, so that interactivity sets the gui to realtime, while non-interactive sets gui to buffered. If we buffer up to 5 frames, and pass along (for instance) every 5th frame to the actual graphics driver, we can speed things up quite drastically, without sacrificing much. This would probably mean creating a new "default" graphics driver for the OS, and allow that driver to act as a wrapper towards the real driver.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] orchis:
Done! Thanks Davide
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... I don't think it will work as we expect... something similar was tried the past year with Polaris but the gain wasn't noticeable... & a lot of time was spent of course

instead one important thing, in my opinion, is the thread priority assigned to TOUCH.DLL, in fact by default is at 0 (highest pri) while it should be at 109 (normal pri)... at least in a normal life... anyway as was yet done, always with the mythic Polaris, to have a better life... we should clean the damn touch library from insane/looping/unuseful calls putted inside by htc guys, in this way the dll can be fixed at 109 or also 25x pri, releasing precious cpu time...

cpu troubles/weakness apart, the problem isn't in 3D drivers... they perform very well... at least compared with the well known Omnia900... the problem is in 2D driver, at least this is what I've understood during my tests

I really have no time to do it carefully... if you have please take the touch.dll & try to smil it :D I swear you that you'll see some improvements ;)

my youtube player is not working

i just flush the rom v9 pre7, everthing else is fine but my you tube cannot play
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep I know :) working also for that... it will corrected in pre8
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
v09_pre8 is out, below news/changes:

rom based on latest official 2.03 ver with all news included (for ex slide answer)

some older packages were removed & substituted with newer ones imported from 2.00 rom

other newer packages are imported from BB (Blackstone build)

kept original 2.x youtube package (the one from BB didn't work correctly)

automated ram recovery tool runs now just one time at 4.00AM

automated backup (trough pimbackup) runs now at 4.30AM

fixed keyboard layout "self changing" after a rotation

minor fixes in our various scripts

some notes:

ram recovery can called also manually by keeping pressed for 2/3 seconds the answer button (hardware button), needed almost in emergency situations when free ram is a MUST

every night process was carefully tested, now both processes turn-off the device on finish (for turn-off I mean standby of course)

connection setup is the original one from 2.03 rom (immaculate), because many were unable to setup their provider/carrier & above all I commented in tweakPerm script all the lines linked to network settings (timeout, etc...) ... so no more excuses :D now must work for everyone

as in pre7 I've included social network & uploader (are small packages so they don't take much space) but I dunno how they work & above all if they work correctly at 100%, I had no time to test carefull... sorry but this is not a priority, anyway please report errors/bugs

added also the possibility, trough tweakPerm script, to change 3D driver, as default was left original ATI; alternatives are HTC driver & the one imported from Omnia (Samsung)

some minor things to do/test: full mms backup + auto-restore automation (to be included in 1st menu installation so no more need to call pimbackup restore); CAB/CABi ordering installation due the need to install cabs in alphabetic (or whatever) order; automatize Start Menu restore

thx to ALL & have fun

Thanks mate, that's wonderful. I though the transparent will able to tell if Speaker phone on or not when buttons where shaded.

Anyone having problems with ActiveSync keep on poping/active despite everything default.

ActiveSync

its working as it should here....off is off for me :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nblakqori:
hi,

did anyone instal opera mini, because when i install i have this unreadable horizontal font,

has this been mentioned or am i the first one?

and by the way, at the initial font selection, i have left it as default.

thanks,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
thx ALL for testing,

just some small notes:

about AS (ActiveSync): if during 1st menu installation isn't chosen to remove it from queue AS will keep popping up (as it is programmed), if AS isn't used to sync whatever without cable simply remove it... in my opinion is almost unuseful for 98% of users, of course without keeping active the queue it will continue to work & sync trough cable

about Omnia 3D driver: it's a bit buggy, in fact 99% of keybd troubles are caused by that driver, so take care if you choose it as your default 3D driver

about browsers: I use almost only 2 browsers, Opera mobile & sometimes the included IE, so it could possible that other browsers don't work perfectly also because they aren't tested at all, to download latest beta opera cab please refer to extra cab page here or download directly from Opera website

about GPS: gps caching tables are optimized for iGO8 & TomTom7/8 (this is also available always as extra cab), so if you have troubles with other gps software you have to increase polling time & main caches in your tweakPerm script or better integrate them as new lines in your tweakPers; report back caches to a value of 4096 & increase polling time to 2000 or even 3000, sleeping then can be increased up to 1000

about other troubles: please keep in mind if you choose the "speed profile" some things could not work as you expect, so try also the balanced one or even the standard MS profile

bye,

davide

Phone not ringing

Hello all, I'm running pre7 and since today I noticed this problem with the phone not ringing on incoming calls.

I have searched this thread and found a few ppl with the same problem and the suggested solution was to reselect the ring tone.

Well, I have selected each of the three ring tones in every possible way but it always goes back the phone is dead silent.

I'd like to avoid flashing pre8 and reinstall all programs. Any suggestion?

BTW, in the manila tab called settings there is an entry called sound, I select that one and it tells me that the ringtone is set to none. Not matter what I do is always set to none.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... it was true for old releases... but from pre7 it should work because now default ring exists... about previous releases the problem was that default ring didn't exist... I'll suggest to make a hard-reset or better go for pre8, anyway reinstalling the world will take just 10/15 minutes

EDIT: just made a hard-reset & tested with the clean rom... default ring is OK
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cabania:
It works! Perfect!. Thank you VERY MUCH!. How can I donate something to pay you a couple of beers? (I couldn't find a "donate" link)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peron:
Aw crap, I hoped you wouldn't ask me to hard reset. :(

Reinstalling all programs and setting them up the way I want takes me hours.

Also pre7 plays music beautifully and I would like to stick with it

By the way, let me take this opportunity to say that this is the best ROM I ever tried (pending the prob with ringtone).

I did not try many, probably only flashed 5-6 times since I got the diamond in august.

GPS: Perfect (within limitation of the hardware)

MP3: Extremely low number of pops and skips

Manila: Supery responsive!

Phone: was perfect until the ringtone crapped out.

Bluetooth/Wifi: They just work right away

I also like a lot the automated tasks running overnight, the phone is always responsive and I never have to reboot it anymore.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
no friend... I can't accept money for the simple reason it took me just 2 minutes while taking a cup of tea... thx anyway :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... let me think... I suppose you have yet made a reset isn't??

EDIT: why for you does it take hours?? you seem a bit exaggerated... my installation leaves me just 40Mb of free space... I think to have almost ALL (TT7,iGO,dozen games,etc...) and it takes just 10 minutes to reinstall all cabs... I really don't understand
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] macoy:
I retore my sms with pimbackup after flash pre08 from pre07, I can read them in manilla, but there is nothing in the sms/mms folder!! please help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
ALL sms?? it's happened here... not always... sometimes... the problem is in pimbackup program, also because it happened with older rom, the program works very well... but it's not perfect... anyway I noticed that this happens randomly, I think that something is related to some kind of sms with special characters or something similar that break "silently" the final backup file... just for curiosity how many sms did you manage in your backups?? (average of course)

as mentioned in the "summary" post about pre8 I'm working also for changing method for contacts & sms backup due to avoid these troubles that don't depend by my hands, & above all to have a backup/restore good for mms too even if I don't use so much should be a nice feature too
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] macoy:
i backup over a thousand sms. the sms is there,manilla will display them,but when i click all messages,there is nothing in the inbox. to make it worse,when i get new sms,there is no sound,still nothing in the inbox,but i can read it in malilla
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peron:
Yes I made a reset, several ones.

If I click on ringtone and select one of the three option I will always return back to 'vibrate' only.

Maybe I exxagerated a bit but reinstalling all the apps takes time. In fact it is the configuring bit that takes the most of the time.

Also often I do not remember how I had it setup so it is really configured properly only after a few days of using it.

Can I make a suggestion for the next version? For the comm manager to have its own tab in manila?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mr. Makk:
i've had similar prob. and my take is that u backup and restore using the samme version of pimbackup. it worked for me.

and SUILLER, ur makin dis rom better n better ba sum ppl lik it a bit lite. so if u don mind i can offer to build lite roms outta ur rom. i've been cookin al ur previous roms and have even cooked pre8. so if u wish i can start postin it out here as lite rom. and den tak ur help to make lite ones more convenient and better.

what say?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peron:
LOL, 1 vote for the gangsta lite ROM.

Will contacts be renamed to 'brotah' ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vogon1:
Just a 'same here'; a few days ago the phone stopped ringing, and whatever I try, it only vibrates.

And in defense of your 'reinstall takes a lot of time', here is another 'me too'. Flashing is done in a flash, but then reconfiguring the thing, because all kinds of apps start for the first time, takes quite some time.

Anyway, short from the lost ring, I am extremely happy with the rom!

why have another uncomfortable tab when we can assign a soft key? (just my opinion of course)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
no... there must something that I really don't understand... the logic is that you "look" the 1st install menu only the 1st time you flash... then, on next flash/upgrades, the system will do all your previous choices automatic... with cab installation too... 99% of personalizations (ring tone, sms tone, etc...) can be setup in tweakPers script & as you know it is loaded on 2nd boot... so at 3rd boot you have an almost complete/finish device

I tried also to include all the setup phase in the 1st boot but some app need a working manila plus other stuff completed (due to registry mods) so it's not possible

anyway if I published a new ver there are good reasons... believe me :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
liam... did you notice ring or sms troubles?? I'm living with pre08 from 2 days & didn't notice any bugs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] peron:
I will update to pre8, but I dont understand what you say about tweakpers.

If I were to install pre8 over my current pre7, will it automatically retain all the customizations of manila, tomtom, klaxon, gremote, opera, lumos etc??

That would be great, going to try tomorrow.
