Zoom in SMS

Has anybody got the zoom in SMS to work, that should be standard in every ROM I think, but I can't get the mod to work. I have to flick to the next message to see the zoom effect

Dude, your ROM is amazingly fast and yo have some seriously good tweaks. From beta 1 I thought it was excellent, the only thing that made me go back to my previous choice was the version of TF3D you are using. I feel like it may be sub standard to the newer version. I understand your thoughts on stability, but the newer version is what most of the modifications are designed for. The tweaks are made for the newer version and it makes it hard to manipulate anything on the older version, because its old. Have you thought about using the current version, I mean you are using the latest ROM version, why would you step back on TF3D? If I missed something explain it to me, if not, then I would like to see the newer version in the next update (if you like you can make a speacial ROM just fro me LOL). In any case this ROM is splendid. I just wish I can mod it.

I have to say you are spot on with the GPS. After running HTC GPS Tools under clear memory and then running IGO8 the lock was almost instantaneous, but more importantly the lag is gone.

Of course standing under the hot sun (and I mean hot in Malaysia) to get that first fix is a bit of pain, but its well worth the results afterwards.

This is the first non Dutty rom that I would highly recommend thank you very much. Now off to mod this baby. Excellent
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Big thx Suiller :).

First, this ROM (don't re-install 05 yet... I'm still with 04 now) is pretty fast & stable.

But, second, this ROM is open ! So I can re-cook it to add, for example, Remote Tracker (need to be in ROM : hard-reset won't uninstall it :)) or add my custom TF3D theme (icons, transparant, etc.). and remove some apps (don't like WMTask... so I re-put HTC Taskmanager in ^_^).

Hope you'll publish update & update... really nice job suiller :).

Great ROM. Thank you.

Just one annoying thing. When I try to rotate Opera in landscape, something goes wrong and instead of rotating the browser, the Phone pad pops up on display. I use FlipIt to rotate opera.

best regards

PS: My GSM signal half weakened ,after installing your ROM v05.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ksekhar:
I am still using V05 to see if i can help you with some more feedback and here are some.

1. Rom is very fast (i did hard resest thrice and i donno if it has something to do with speed)

2. After 4-5 hours of using program memy went down to 12mb even thou i dont have any apps running in the background (but still interface is very fast).

3. I dont see any missed call/SMS indication at the front enter button.

4. Opera browser is damn fast (of course as you know keyboard bug still remains).

5. I guess i like old regular default task manager instead of this WM task manager.

Hope this helps.

For old fasion guys like me.

Can anyone post link to download quickgps compatible to Diamond ?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Suiller : I saw that, in Manila package, you removed all translation files... excepted for lang="zh-tw". Is it an oversight... or a "feature" ?

Compression of image files is a VERY good idea !! I generally use PNG Optimizer... and I test it on "your" png files. For 90% of them, PNG Optimizer reduce the file a little bit more than yours... perhaps could you try to re-optimize them ?... or not ^_^

Just a litlle cook question : how to remove EZInput and config system to use an other default SIP ?... because actually, I remove the package, but WM want EZInput... and as it can't find it, I've got some bugs :'(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] loki429:
WOW! Thank You

A big WOW and thank you very much!

Just loaded up this ROM and immediately the speed improvement was obvious.

Swapping from screen to screen feels a lot "snappier" and makes the device enjoyable to use.

Only found one problem - one the Programs screen when I select ''All Programs" I see multiple entries for some items. eg I can see 3 calculators, 3 calendars, 3 comm manager etc. Not sure why this is happening but certainly not a big issue.

Many thanks,

Loki

Because i like suiller so much, i have made the cab for you. ;)

Its from the orginal diamond aka 1.93.xxx.x -

"QuickGPS"="1_00_18152630_0"

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pietrucci:
I'm gonna install it again soon. It feels very good, snappy and looks nice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zmob123:
I have to admit that this is one of the est ROMs I have flashed. Fast as hell, smooth as hell, and stable as hell. Opera is fast, and there is a slow down after sometime, but the OS still performs once a few buttons are pushed (its kinda like me when I wake up in the morning, slow at first but then speeds up to normal). I love it, the only issue I have is with Manila. There is only one reason for that and it is becuase of the mods. They tend to lean toward the Raphel version, but other then that there is one thing I say you must change if not anything else, and that is the addition of QuickGps. Other then that, when you decide what you will do with the TF3D version this will be a permanant ROM for me. Again, fantasic work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
i also would like to say for the record

fast.....love comic sans font...and large everything

great rom...please keep up the great work you are doing in this forum.

thank you

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
good job friend, I'll take a look, anyway the important thing is that images don't get distorted, just to make an example with other tools is possible to shrink more BMP images but final results aren't so good, they seem clearly distorted & with poor color distribution

I'll make some tests & report results :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ksekhar:
Thanks Davide for your positive response and all the help.

I found one more bug.

When you are running opera try to turn off display and you see your mobile acts very wierd. Display turns off and on and then off. I donno if it is just with my mobile or in general with this ROM.

PS: I observed that my mobile battery drains very quickly. I changed Radio to 08 with this V05 rom. I am not sure if it has anything to do with this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] raspdeep:
Hi Suiller,

Thank you for the rom. Does this rom support M1 Singapore Telco settings?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
it's easy, just take a look here & choose your favorite font (they start with "Fnt" character) or you can choose between a very large set/collection by searching for Godzon font (look in the diamond software/app main thread)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... I've yet tested Manila HD but it doesn't seem faster... it has just more tabs... is it really useful?? anyway I'll find the way to work with it ;) give me just a couple of days

ps: new release 1.2 will be provided with the possibility to run latest Diamond Manila version (1.1.35) CFE optimized (only 8Mb) or with a pre-configured PointUI Home2 cab, I'll try to making it works with xbox Manila HD too...

hi davide :) cant wait till you release this version...when it wil probably be out?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jugulator:
Hi, Does this automatic Back up and restore work with any rom or only with your particular rom..? I am referring to the following:

Thanks

1. before flashing make a called "Backup and Restore" folder in you BIG storage (one of 4Gb), then (inside it) a called CAB folder where to put in all the cabs not included in this rom (or your personal cabs), the ones you wish to install as extra into Main Memory (at top page for extra cabs & for finish create inside the CAB folder another folder called CABi, into this one you can put your cabs you want install into "Internal Storage / Storage Card"; if none of these folder will created by hand the system will do itself at 1st boot then you can populate it for the next upgrade or a hard reset

2. download the latest Dia Duit rom from one of the mirror specified at top page and look in my signature for the fastest upgrade procedure

3. the system will create a directory called "Backup and Restore" (if you haven't created before), inside you can find other folders: Scripts, pimbackup, MAIL, CAB (inside with CABi folder)

4. after rom installation an automated procedure will ask you: configure general speed & GPS profiles; remove ActiveSync time change queue (stop popup every 5 min); left/right softkey configuration; CAB installation (as mentioned above), choose backup method & eventually load a restore, restore previous saved Start Menu + tweakPers script and for finish reboot to apply changes (all these questions occur only for 1st installation of course)

5. once your cab installation is completed and the reboot phase is done you can open tweakPerm under Scripts folder (a simple notepad is enough) and read carefully the comments inside, take inspiration & make changes (copy/paste) in the tweakPers script (an example is here); all these scripts are independent, so for example you can use tweakPers at any time, after every hard reset or a new flash the only one that wont touched is that one, so this is the main reason why your personalization should go in that file

6. then you can re-organize shortcuts in your "\windows\Start Menu" directory to fit your needs, then run the script "backupStartMenu", this will make a copy of your "final" start menu directory, useful to preserve your original Start Menu structure (in this way it can be restored automatically on next flash)

7. the last one is a folder (always under "Backup and Restore" directory) called "pimbackup", under this directory will be saved automatic pim backups (contacts/sms/call logs/et cetera)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
I assume its useful. Things like the stock tab and the changes to the Favourites section.

Other than that, its the same.

Oh and the Diamond2 keyboard rocks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
That will only work with this ROM.

The Rom has mort scripts that executes these procedures.

Does anyone else have any problems with spb online bombing out on updates if opera has been used since reboot? Only a problem on this rom despite 5 reflashes and was the same on 1.0 but not 0.9 :(

Hi.

Thanks for a great rom.

I have been using several others, but never liked that the romcookers choise regaring a lot of things always meant that I had to change a whole lot of things after each HR.

Keep up the good work :-)

But I have one sudgestion about the whole autoinstaller thing. I also use sashimi to install several of my regfiles and to backup/recover several of my files, along with other things. Your tool is also great, but I would really like to combine them.

Would it be possible to have an "exe" folder, where we could copy files we want to launch, no matter if it is shortcuts or files. Then we, as the user, would be able to eg. include automatic time sync, during install, and I would be able to start sashimi etc.

Hope you like the idear.

Greetings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
sorry Svein what you mean?? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep I've thought at something similar... it will introduced for sure on 1.2 rel a folder called "REG" or "Registry" (still not sure for the name) where to put raw .reg files, they will processed such as cabs

about exe... it could possible, not so difficult but can carry some confusion, for ex: the script call exe files then wait they exit, but if the exe wont exit "alone"... or the script call exe files without waiting exit status, concurrent exe execution can give some troubles...

I can include the exe execution but I have to instruct the script to wait a valid exit code from the launched app, it's the only way to do a clean procedure, so for ex: the script launches time-sync app, the script waits for exit code, the time-sync exits, then the script execute the next exe file, it waits again and so on... can work in this way??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
sure friend, this will help me a lot... when you are ready I'll be here ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep I saw, but I've spoken with some friends/cookers & they have admitted that most of diamond2 app take more memory & are fatter, so in few words they don't run perfect on our "old" diamond, keep in mind that diamond2 has more RAM & as you know it's fundamental, I think it's too early, I prefer (at least right now) porting working app into current rom, 2.03 is a really good base rom, let's see what happens :D

Dia Duit rel 1.2 is OUT, below changes/news:

updated full XIP (21139) + some minor parts from SYS (anyway base sys is always 20764)

replaced spb calculator with htc calculator 2 (from Diamond 2), of course violet skinned, now rotates perfect without other tricks

added into cab repository the CABs for Diamond2 keyboard (also without arrow... I strongly suggest this), but remember that actually it works only on full qwerty or phone keypad (both in english as default), it works perfect but of course can't be useable for non latin languages (be patient still working on this... if you want help you're welcome)

re-visited 1st installation menu script, now the installation order/logic is almost satisfactory

added REG & EXE folder processing/detection such as for CABs, just create REG & EXE folders under "Backup and Restore" master folder & put your reg files (for ex: myreg.reg or myreg.rgu) into REG folder & exe files under EXE folder; note: pay attention with exe files because the script will wait for a "clean" exit (I had no time to test this but should work)

tested & increased internal nand access times (for ex faster cab installation)

as for rel 1.1 Manila is provided as extra cab (

now CFC compressed, so re-download it

), plus I added a pre-configured PointUI Home2 cab working with this rom, of course menu & shortcuts are pre-configured too with base standard apps, so just put 2 PointUI cabs into CAB folder instead of Manila cabs;

remember that for a correct Manila installation to put into your CAB folder the Sys_LPTManilaREG cab too!!

made some changes for disabling security exchange feature (I can't test so I dunno if it works)

manila xbox 1.8.5 CFC works but only if installed manually after having installed classic 1.1.35 manila cab (still investigating for the reason), so installed automatically LPTManialREG + ManilaDiamxxx cabs, then after having a working manila go for xbox 1.8.5 CFC cab installation

remember that ActiveSync wont popup automatically but it wont closed automatically too (after cable disconnection), so tap on X to close as a classic application

replaced startup page for IE, now google search at 1st sight :cool:

open bugs/troubles:

still investigating Internal backup automatic restore procedure on 1st boot, anyway it works perfect at 2nd boot

thx ALL for help & suggestions, now go for dinner :D

hi, Davide! downloading your rom now, so you'll be informed about security policy soon.

a couple of questions:

1. Sys_PUiHome2xMenu.cab - what does this cab do?

2. haven't you added encoding into home2 for cyrillic languages? or, probably, you know how to do this?

3. the same about more cities in weather forecast?

4. you mentioned something like it is possible to add more languages to diamond2 kbd. is it possible to make any cyrillic layout? probably, I can help with this?

thanks a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
dear friend...

1. it simply will install a pre-configured menu with right shortcuts with current used/installed basic (for ex: solitaire, file explorer, phone, album, camera, etc...), re-launch again (after having accepted the prog license on its 1st run) to full populate the new menu

2. no sorry, I don't know very well home2 & how much is configurable, for what I saw it seems highly configurable thx to a modern xml structure but sincerely I had no time to investigate deeply

3. as above, but should be easy, there is a xml config file for weather DB

4. yep even if right now are supported just basic languages (eng, fra, ger, spa & ita), it's pre-configured for running in Eng just to don't make confusion, you need sip-change to force another language, look here for details, anyway I strongly suggest to look also here, this is a really "active" project for an easy (& fast) customizable modern WM keyboard

Manilia Problems

Hi,

Just installed the new ROM, but it will not install the new manilla (I put it and the other required file in CAB). The process just appeared to hang (and I left it ten minutes). I was able to install it manually, but now whenever I try and access my text messages, manilla restarts.

I have also done a hard boot and the same thing happens.

Any thoughts?

Gary

I should say I can get to my SMS through the email Tab, it is the SMS TAB that causes the reboot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
very strange... tested tons of time, you should put into CAB folder (not CABi) these 2 cabs in this exact order:

Sys_LPTManilaREG + Sys_ManilaDiam1135

instead if you are installing another manila version you should tell me which one, keep also in mind that xbox manila as mentioned some posts before must installed manually after having a working device (post massive cab installation)

ps: do you use some tab personalizations?? remember that this is NOT the classic manila (ver 1.1.34, the one coming from 1.9x) & this is NOT the one coming from raphael (ver 1.2.xx), so some 3rd party tabs could not work properly
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] garyeuph:
Thanks for the quick reply,

No I downloaded both of those files from your site and placed them in CAB (not CABi) without any renaming. The only thing I have added differently to any other install of your ROM was to put the flash lite in CAB also, but cannot see this being the reason?

Maybe I should try and download it again (just in case) and do another Hard Reset?

Gary
