[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
thank you ALL, your feedback is really important, only with your precious infos I'm able to repair some "youth" bugs :)

I've to answer to a couple of questions:

1) manila version installed isn't old... in fact this is the latest available for the diamond platform, the 1.2xx ver was imported from the raphael platform, and of course I could include in this rom (it's very easy), the problem is that I've made some tests and there are no benefits, raphael manila takes more space and doesn't give more speed, more smoothness or new functions... they are almost the same, anyway I'll make a poll to understand how many prefer raphael one, for me is really the same ;)

2) memory consumption is a general WM weakness, I'm making some other tests to find a trick able to recover automatically wasted memory during idle times, for example during the night (between 4 & 5.00AM), anyway this rom was projected as 1st goal to have just 1 running app per time, this is also the reason why task manager is setted-up to close app rather than iconify

3) GPS lag should be solved, at least in my case is solved, sometimes I've half arrow (the blue one in tomtom) of lag, but it is very minimal & in any case I've seen sometimes also in the regular boxed tomtom, I think most problems in gps lag was caused by old & rubbish software like quickgps (this is also the reason why I erased it from this rom), anyway a synchronous buffer between nand & internal memory plus some tweaks in the registry have solved the problem, inform me please if someone of you still has lag troubles (please describe it)

4) for rotate opera (at least this version that is also the latest one) you shouldn't use an automatic program like gyrator or something similar because I've noticed some problems, anyway it is still possible to rotate opera manually and it always works by holding the top-right corner in opera when in full screen, it is a function integrated in this new opera beta & for me works perfect; anyway I don't think to change opera ver with an older version because this last beta is really faster than previous ones so I prefer stay with this "a little buggy" opera because right now in my opinion is another planet :)

5) htc task manager is fatter & slower compared to wktasks, this was the reason I chose to don't include the original HTC one, anyway there is also available original WM task manager under \windows and it is called taskmanager.exe; if you prefer I can publish under extra cabs the original htc task manager cab

6) a little note regarding opera keyboard bug... I've tried many & many different keyboards, also with 1.93 rom, but the problem still persists, so the bug is innate in this opera version & for this reason till now isn't solvable, we have to live with it until a new beta will come or for who aren't able to live with it as you see the opera ver included in this rom can be uninstalled, so you can re-install an older versions (anyway older versions have other bugs)

7) I've heard that someone suffered/suffers mp3 "skip" bug (with other roms), I don't listen music with my mobile but I wanted to try & I didn't notice any problem, please report your impressions too, I think that synchronous buffer has solved also this little but annoying bug, report please if you still have it

bye,
