Davide

forgot to mention that the auto cab installation did not work when i flashed the pre Beta.

It did ask the 7 questions when loading & I did requested it to install from the "CAB" & CABi file but it failed on both accounts.

Has anyone else experienced this with version?

no problems with v7

special note about hard-spl:

roms are unsigned because I have no time to sign them properly, so if you have signed-only hard-spl I strongly suggest to upgrade to an un-signed one, personally I tested many & I can confirm that the "perfect one", at least in my experience, is the Olinex 1.37, you can find a copy here

remember also that you can NOT brick your device if you have a good hard-spl (like the one I mentioned above) & flashing directly from phone is really faster (also good for flashing radios)

so the only one thing you should take care is when you change/upgrade the hard-spl, but you have to do this step just once, I'm using this hard-spl from about 6 months & I was able to flash everything (plus dozen recovers for failed flash)

for rom/radio upgrades you can safely also reboot/remove cable/turn off your phone while flashing :eek: ...every lost flash can be always restored safely, it's enough to restart your device in boot mode & restart flashing, also with cable trough the classic RUU (to put device in boot mode simply reset & keep pressed vol-down button)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Unimaginative:
Yeah, the contents of CAB installed fine but CABi was ignored after asking if I wanted to install the contents. Bugga.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
just re-flashed v08 and I had installed all CABs both from CAB & CABi folders...

your cabs must be in under "\Internal Storage\Backup and Restore\CAB" & under "\Internal Storage\Backup and Restore\CAB\CABi"

anyway if it detects you have placed them in the right place...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... I'll re-check...

EDIT: I checked... I was able to install all apps from CABi folder...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Unimaginative:
Ah, my mistake: had them both in 'Backup & Restore', not CAB\CABi. Silly me :p

Thanks for the quick reply suiller, and this delicious ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
please explain better when you say: "still drops out after a time on calls"... describe your situation

thx davide
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
oh never mind friend.. I've changed the location, before CAB & CABi were on the same level... but as suggested by some other friends perhaps it has more sense to have one folder inside the other... because the logic is: 1st install cabs in main memory, 2nd cabs in storage

or do you think it is a bit "confusing" ??

bye,

davide

hi friends... v08 is out, check on 1st page for mirrors, instead here for corrections

thx all 4 feedback, your help is fundamental ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:
This is a really well thought out ROM, I have been using swiftblade and Panosha but due to the lack of developement, I wanted a more upto date ROM.

Excuse me for sounding typical and cliched..but this ROM is really responsive.

I am using the PP8 version and would like to congratulate the cooker on a truly unique ROM...

The only fault I have found so far is that the teeter game will lag...but this is easily rectified by adding labyrinth.exe in the 'Rotation Angles for specific applications' list in the Flip It settings and unticking all angles.

Once again congrats...and hope you get more exposure.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Unimaginative:
Not at all, I just didn't read the instructions!

Huzzah!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gtpete:
Hi Davide, i too made the mistake of not having the CAB & CABi file located in the back up & Restore folder. all correct now. I am about to flash V0.8.

I am still thinking about what should be in a Lite ROM though.

Maybe you should condsider a poll to see what most people would like in it & what they want left out. This way you get to please a good majority of your faithful followers! (not just me :p)

cheers

@Davide / Suiller

Hi mate, first of all thank you for your work here!

I have read somewhere that your Roms don't have the gps lag, but - when reading through this thread - I understand that in 08 Rom you somehow reduced the effectiveness of your trick for Gps lag in order to match some mp3 skipping problem....

.... well, as many of us are using our diamonds for work and require gps without lag, could it be possible that somehow we can choose between a more gps-oriented Rom and a more media-oriented Rom? A cab or files to change would be great!

Thank you anyway! I would like to try the previous Rom - the one without the mp3 skipping correction: where could I find it now?

Ciao e grazie

Paolo

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] goRt:
davide, [for p08 8pp] I use a SE980 for phone calls and after 3-5 mins then calls I'm on will tend to drop from the headset back to the phone - most other ROMs lose the call, yours passes it back to the phone.

I have to say that your approach and openness are very welcome - I can tell exactly what your ROM is delivering to me, I can make choices at and after installation and I like your thoughtful approach to the structuring of the ROM.

[for 08 8pp] the 2nd today bug (overlaying) is still there.

On other ROM when I have a voicemail I get the icon and a line on TF3D home screen, not on yours. Also other later ROMs remove the 'new mail' icon when I move TF3D to the e-mail tab.

Excellent ROMs, I'll report on BT and battery after a business day on Monday

Shortcut not working

V8 0PP: Start/Programs/Connections: WLM Messenger: The file WLMMessenger cannot be opened....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Two little things :

* after 1st boot (HTC customization, etc.), there's no more automatic soft-reset.

Perhaps it's because, when I re-cooked the rom, I just deleted in \OEM\ExtendedPkg\config.txt the "EXEC:\windows\SDAutoRun.exe" line and I didn't add the classic "RST: Reset". But, perhaps, SDAutoRun make the soft-reset at the end of its process ?

* during 2ndboot.mscr, we install all our CABs... some of them takes very long time (more than 40sec !)... and the device turn off. I saw you launch the TimeIdleReset morscript command, but it's not enough.

I tried to keep TimeIdleReset and before installation of the 1st cab, add this :

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts","BattSuspendTimeout",300)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts","BattSuspendTimeoutSave",300)

Of course, at the end of the cab installation process, I put those value back to default :

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts","BattSuspendTimeout",40)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts","BattSuspendTimeoutSave",40)

But I have to go to the power control panel to validate... if not, value is effectivly changed in the registry, but not used !? :'(

Perhaps I should add something else... but what ?! :/

I think that, if the first reg change would be added in 1stboot.mscr and the "come-back" in the 2ndboot.mscr, as there is a soft-reset each time, the value change would be certainly validated. I didn't tried.

Step back

Hi Davide,

I tried your v08 ROM 8PP and I think it's a step back. The performance is much lower than the v07, also I have difficulties connecting to WiFi which I didn't have with v07. I don't know if it's just me or the full qwerty keyboard is smaller, the keys are shorter using either arial or tahoma. The mp3 lag, which was very huge in v07 in this version is much smaller. I also didn't notice the stereo going to mono while playing with audio booster, which is good. Anyway I'm thinking of going back to v07 which is the best for me (even with sound lags) so far :-).

Thanks for your hard work anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
for the 2nd... it works also here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep... trying different solutions to provide a balanced compromise
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... really strange, the base OS is the same of v07, wifi drivers comes from 1.96 (already installed on v07) & the keyboard is always the same... I just configured some registry keys to avoid default MS keyboard & to keep selected model
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DrewVS:
I am still seeing all green highlights. Was that not one of the changes?

No other issues so far, except that installing of CABi files did not work...did it manually with no problems.

Social Networking

Hi Suiller,

I've tried your rom and is great. Fast, stable and high customizable... I miss only social networking uploader (facebook and youtube) in manila album...

Do you think to put it in new rom?

Good work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
1) I had no time to tweak manila focus

2) for CABi installation... the folder CABi must be inside CAB folder... the logic is: 1st process CAB then if found process CABi... so for hierarchy reason CABi folder is under CAB :)

bye,

davide
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:

You got to be kidding right ?,

Ahh the tweakspers link :P .. I don't see it either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DrewVS:
Yes, CABi was in the correct place. The system installed the first application there, but stopped and installed no others. It seemed as if not enough time was allowed before it gave up...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] OokOnbekend:
2) see something similar when search for Contacts, see attached. sometimes it types letters and most of the time it types alphanumeric

Suiller, other things I noticed:

- after I while running I noticed my new mail/phone/sms sounds events are not played (working) anymore, when check the settings I get the following error "This ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ring tone." (see attachment), I'm sure the files are still there and after reset everything is working fine again.

- Did you remove the autocomplete languages, I don't see i.e. Dutch anymore when using the keyboards, this was very useful with the T9 option
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
gush! you are right, I forgot to include other languages :( I'll put back again on pre-v09
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] knave:
not sure if this helps, but I ran into a bug yesterday on v07.

I had plugged my Diamond as Disk Drive to my pc. Somehow, I received an sms. afterwards, when i tried to launch some apps, I realised that I couldn't. Only when I launched File Explorer then do I saw that there are 2 Internal Storage folders "Internal Storage" and "Internal Storage2", with the latter containing my actual storage data.

So I cut/paste the files from the former to the latter (files are the mail attachments + ramdisk), delete the "Internal Storage" folder and on soft reset, it went back to normal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep you right... and this is normal... at least when moving mails & other stuff into internal storage, because when the phone is attached as mass storage the OS detaches the nand-card, so it doesn't exists anymore... at least for OS :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stanislav.bebej:
Different keyboard size

Hi Davide,

this is what I was talking about when I said, the qwerty keyboard in v08 PP8 is smaller than in v07 PP8 (not only the area it covers, but also the size of the keys. It's not the font thing :-)). Now I'm on v07 PP8 and Wifi goes great, slightly less responsive than v07 PP0. Looking forward to v09.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] OokOnbekend:
Great, Thanks! :), in the meantime I installed the attached CAB ,did find it somewhere, but can't remember where, nevertheless it fixed the issue for me and maybe useful for others too...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hi friend... the keyboard in v07 was buggy.. because it didn't point to the original font arial... instead it pointed to the font curier, in v08 I corrected the registry key for that... so in the v08 there is the right one :) anyway if you like the bigger keyboard... it is possible to add as config in the tweakPerm script

for wifi I'm testing right now... strange because drivers are, or at least should be the same between 1.96 & 1.97 roms... anyway I'm testing both separately and then I'll report here ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:

finally able to full porting sys/xip 20757 (thx to Mondi), now ram gesture is improved

finished migration from 1.96 to 1.97 WWE, even if almost ALL drivers still come from the "old" 1.96

re-integrated some T9 languages not present in v08 but present in v07

updated some scripts (thx to R.Devil for suggestions), also tested carefully CABi installation

experimenting 4PP version... anyway definitively 8PP will substitute default 12PP

thx all 4 support :)

Hi suiller,

Really love your ROM. Almost makes me flash my ROM just for fun ;-). Yesterday upgraded from v7 to v8. Everything seems to work like a charm. The only thing that annoys me is the unlock (program) I'll get everytime I turn om my Diamond. Can I somehow disable/deinstall that. I looked everywhere but I didn't find settings/program to do so.

Thanks,

probably you run tweakPers too... if so open it with notepad & change this

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
I will definitively think that you don't read my mail :p ;) !

In one of the mxip*.xml, the right reg values are deleted. That's why we can only add them with your tweakPerm.mscr. Here is the code to turn it to blue :

RegWriteDWord("HKCU","\Software\HTC\TaskManager","ManilaCustomHlUp",13537833)
RegWriteDWord("HKCU","\Software\HTC\TaskManager","ManilaCustomHlDown",13537833)

Same thing for EnlargeStartMenu :

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu","ManilaCustomHlUp",13537833)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu","ManilaCustomHlDown",13537833)

"I just removed the horrible azure MS keyboard"

Sorry I've been using htc phones that long that I actually forgot it's microsoft's keyboard & not htc's.

u may think it's horrible, but I'm that used to it (cause it's got everything there @ once the, qwerty + numbers on top row)

I have tried searching the forum's but to no luck.

So can u help out & provide me "the horrible azure MS keyboard" in a cab or some way of getting it back into your rom ? as I'm liking every other part of the rom so far.

yeah... you rock! (like always) :cool:

ps: I wasn't able to find because I fixed my search into Microsoft\Color key

you don't need any cab just open your tweakPers script and add these lines:

## ENABLE DEFAULT MS KEYBOARD ##

RegWriteString("HKCR","\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod","","1")

## ENABLE MS KEYBOARD AS DEFAULT KEYBOARD ##

RegWriteString("HKCU","\ControlPanel\SIP","DefaultIm","{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}")

then save & run it ;)
