[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
finally I'm back... sorry to have "discontinued" the dia duit rom develpment but I was really busy due to my work... even if I'm really busy actually too, I'll try keep some spare time for continue the development on this rom

as I read during these days I noticed that many of you weren't able to have a full working rom, I'm really sorry for this, but as you know I looked for a new way of development, starting from a very light/clean rom (yeah... I hate lag & I need a fast phone)

as you can understand adding later many & many extra cabs can produce some troubles, so I suggest to strongly use this rom only for people that has particular needs or anyway plp that can avoid some small issues

a naked rom means that many extra cabs must be installed in a specifc order & above all some packages are mandatory to others

I'll put soon a list of a typical "user friendly" & working installation so that also un-skilled plp can try/install/play with this rom

as mentioned in the past this rom is intended for "skilled" developers/users, but with a bit of patience can be adopted by everyone

NEWS:

I'm working on a more stable/usable rom (naked 1.5), I made some adjustments & of course improvements... here below a brief list on what I'm working on...

full upgrade to latest rom for diamond serie (2.07.xx) + drivers

finally a decent combination of XIP & SYS (21051) plus some pieces from the well stable 21042

corrected some scripts + updated mortscript to the last stable version

added nueDynamicClock (thx friend for this great piece of software) with an automated configuration that interacts on lockphone & standby, so this doesn't touch active phone usability, on the other hand the battery life is increased a bit (I measured about 10% more) especially during night... better than nothing ;)

updated & added some OEM cab (for ex. Tachi phone pad), always on repository

updated Diamond Manila cab to latest version (1.1.37), revisited & adapted to fit dia duit "way" by removing telstra unwanted tab/stuff

many & many other various small but needed corrections

troubles/bugs/notes :

long press end key cab does not work, still to understand the reason, sincerely I haven't yet took a look at that

task manager X icon is still blank, anyway I don't use task manager with auto-close feature + auto-recover ram there is no reason to have the heavy & fat HTC task manager installed

program icons on the related TF3D tab are blank, simply re-create the list to solve

the blank/empty activesync profile is wanted/needed for who doesn't use AS (lucky plp), instead for AS user (poor you) simply remove the blank profile in AS & add yours

comments about outcoming 1.5 naked:

I'm using this new rom from 3 consecutive days without rebooting & all works perfect, the night script for optimizing & recover ram works perfect, I don't have anymore that feeling to need a reset/reboot every morning :cool:

a small note about wm6.5: I compiled also a "test" rom with wm6.5 but I was really disappointed... it's really slow... too much slow... at least with TF3D/TF3D2, the diamond is clear that can't run on long terms with the full wm6.5 OS + TF3D2... we should add the double of ram :) ...so I'm thinking to develop just a sort of light version without TF3D & only with the titanium interface as default

bye,
