@suiller:

Regarding my problem with the closed apps. You wrote about tapping the x button, but that was not it I was talking about. I am talking about the upper left button under the screen with the house on it. So, if you open any prog and hit that button, normally the prog would be minimized, but now its closing the app completely. That was the thing I was talking about. Could you please look into it?

Probably he's talking about the Home button in Start menu. Or if you just press "Home" hardware button.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Franceschiello:
Hi Suiller,

I would want ask You if, in backup option, it's possible save Owner name and international setting.

Owner name I found in registry but with a cab, sometimes, give me error.

International settings I don't know where is in registry.

Thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Here's what I put in my tweakPers.mscr (for France) :

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... what is the need having these entries??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
look at these reg entries & tell me if we are in the right direction:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]

important changes/news introducing upcoming V09_pre9 (now we are near to 1st official release):

about backup method/way, as mentioned some posts before, we can choose between "classic" way, trough pimbackup software or a new experimental (working) way without any need of external software; after many tests my conclusion is that the experimental method even is safe, precise & fast has an enormous disadvantage... it needs a reboot to take effect & this is very annoying. Anyway I left as default choice (on 1st installation menu) the classic method but I made some important changes in the way the backup is managed (both classic or experimental), in fact now backup creates a weekly set, so we have as final result (after a whole week) 8 backup files: 0Last.pib, 1Monday.pib, 2Thursday.pib... 7Sunday.pib. In this way backup are ordered starting from the last one: 0Last.pib up to 7Sunday.pib. This is extremely useful for the restore procedure after upgrade/hard reset, because automatically it will pre-load (always on 1st menu installation) the last one found... of course if found... if not found it will take the newest between all *.pib file found in the "pimbackup" folder

if you have in your cab folders the opera beta cab (taken from our extra cab) & after the whole cab installation procedure, it will check if opera is installed & if found it will activate automatically the link on Tf3D tab, so we don't need to copy by hand anymore the 2 files (opera9.exe & operaL.exe) under \windows folder

again the StartMenu backup/restore procedure was revisited & now works perfectly... now included into 1st installation menu, so... always if found, it will restore your copy of Start Menu, this is really important because saves a lot of time for re-organizing all start icons/folder, I suppose some of you don't use the script backupStartMenu... now it's time to start using it... launch it before proceed the new upgrade so you will have backed up your Start Menu

note:

during these days I flashed some other roms, just for making some "active" comparisons, & for having a finished full working & personalized mobile the whole installation takes about half an hour (sometimes more), while with our self-restoring procedure it takes less than 15 minutes... of course some personalizations must be made always by hand, but remember that we can restore almost automatically: cab, contact/call logs/etc..., Start Menu, registry entries (trough tweakPers), font, columns setup, keyboard layout & left/right softkey configuration... I think this is a big step & we are implementing it more & more... thx ALL :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Franceschiello:
I mean About Owner name:

HKCU/ControlPanel/Owner

"E-Mail"

"Name" (my name)

"Owner" (a binary number)

"Telephone"

And about internationa settings I mean Regional setting, I mistook, sorry.

Setting>System>Regional Settings

I use Italian (Italy) but I changed some chose (for example, default is 123.456.789,00 I changed in 123'456'789.00)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Regional settings are automaticly set up to France (€ symbol, date/time format, etc.)

And, as it is setup during tweakPers.mscr during 2ndboot, I don't have to reset device one more time :D !

For user info, it's in registry :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner]
"Owner Notes"=hex:00,00,00,00,..... looooooong binary value
"Notes"=""
"Owner"=hex:52,00..... looooooong binary value
"E-mail"="pouet@pouet.fr"
"Telephone"="03.xx.xx.xx.xx
"Name"="Renaud"

As I generally recook the ROM, I created a package with these reg entries.

In fact, I put every settings in package or tweakPers.mscr.

That's why I love so much this ROM : flashing takes only the time of 1st boot then cab installations. And, as I created backup scripts (PIM, fav, my docs, etc.), all my datas are restored, so I just have to enter manually 3 or 4 registration codes for some apps that didn't write this in registry (all Resco suite for example) and my WPA key for WiFi at home. And all this without 150 soft-reset :D !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
oops... sorry... I didn't understand what you mean. My reg entry just set up the default "country" settings. Don't know where system stores personnal settings.

I attached my tweakPers.mscr, if this could help.

For information, I created package for (I could add most of them in tweakPers.mscr, but I created them before I used tweakPers :D) :

- backlight settings

- my theme

- CommManager entries

- some file associations

- Owner information
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
dear friend... you gave me an idea... because reading your tweakPers... I noticed that you setted the backup at different time... now in the upcoming rom (pre9) the backup isn't controlled directly by pimbackup... in fact pimbackup.exe queue wont exist anymore, it is replaced by AutoHib script that: recover ram, close unused app, activate the Backup (pimbackup or internal) & then power off the phone

in few words... pre9 ver will remove your pimbackup queue at 20.30...

anyway I can add a check like this: if the BckTime is different from default one (12600) it wont activate manually the backup but will leave active the planned queue trough pimbackup software... or I can add a 3rd choice on 1st installation menu like "none/other method", so it wont touched... some suggestions??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
another small idea... if someone else has/use a personalized tweakPers... can provide here a copy... just to make some comparisons

I start with mine :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
I already noticed this "double" pimbackup... first times, I edited your files to remove to 4:30 backup... now, I just let it work twice :D. And if my 20:30 didn't work anymore, it is a big problem ! Don't care about that Davide :) (in fact, I even didn't know why I change this hour :D :D).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
anyway it could be useful for other... I added a choice for backup phase (on 1st install menu), now it asks: 1. pimbackup at 3.00AM, 2. other time/method, 3. Internal

choosing 2 your backup will run just one time at the time you setted-up in your tweakPers, AutoHib script will just recover ram skipping the manual pimbackup call :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
Dia Duit v09_pre9 is out, below a brief summary about news/changes:

solved trouble related to default ring-tone, now is possible to change in the classic way (trough settings/sounds/etc...)

removed connection setup app, now available as extra cab (look at 1st page), in particular I made 2 cabs: the 1st from 2.00 rom & the 2nd from the latest 2.03 rom, this because some countries are only listed in the 2.00 database & other are only listed in the 2.03 DB, of course try/find your best & as any other normal cab put it in your CAB folder (must installed into main memory); of course it will act as a normal cab so it will be uninstallable too (delete after configuration to gain some free space if needed)

due to a reported "need" for installing particular app in some specific order, I added 2 CAB folders called "Cab2" & "Cabi2"; so the final structure is CAB (with inside CABi) & CAB2 (with inside CABi2), the system will process cabs in this order: CAB => CAB2 => CABi => CABi2 so now is possible to have a full cab installation control

about backup method/way we can choose between "classic" way, trough pimbackup software, a new experimental way (without need of external software) or other method/nothing; after many tests my conclusion is that the experimental method even is safe, precise & fast has an enormous disadvantage... it needs a reboot to take effect & this is very annoying. Anyway I left as default choice (on 1st installation menu) the classic way but I made some important changes in the way the backup is managed (both classic & experimental), in fact now backup creates a weekly set, so we have as final result (after a whole week) 8 backup files: 0Last.pib, 1Monday.pib, 2Thursday.pib... 7Sunday.pib.

Nice :).... hope we'll have the kitchen soon ? :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
just uploaded :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Just downloading :D ! Again & again : THXXXX !!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jackuuuuu:
Thanks mate... d/l'g and testing...

I'll upload to somewhere too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
A little question (I forgot to ask it for pre8) : I launch crush_exe_under_OEM.bat (and SYS too) before I cooked the ROM. Should I do this ? (I already know that manila.exe crash if it isn't the original)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Hi suiller my friend, updated link specialy for you ! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
I looked at your VolBck.mscr.

I already have a "personnal" pim.vol backup.mscr... and I don't need to soft reset to backup ! o_O (of course, for restore, soft-reset is needed... that's why I add my restoreAll.mscr to tweakPers.mscr :))... but perhaps cemail.vol (for sms, isn't it ?) need that ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jackuuuuu:
Additional mirror for everyone :)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GFWTE3IH
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yeah... you right friend... to backup cemail.vol you need to copy it before tmail.exe & manila.exe load :) so soon as the system boot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GPSSlovakia:
Yes, that is a really cool feature to choose what users like or not.

Looking forward to test V05 !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eadon:
I'm really excited by the positive way you react to feedback! I hope this rom/thread thrives.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
v05

sorry....but is this going to be out soon?

as if i flash tonite will the next one be out in the morning so to speak

just thought i would ask

thank you

Reg. start button

Davide,

You mentioned that you want to make this rom usable with one hand instead of taking out stylus every time. Then can you do something with START button or new task manager?

This new task manager puts all running apps near START button (most of the times i have one or two apps running in the background) and hence i end up pressing those apps instead of START as i m not using stylus (and i have fat fingers :) ).

Can you either increase size of START button (it may look odd) or let me know how to get rid of those icons of running apps.

I know this is not big trouble but sometimes it is very annoying :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pol_pv:
So, im going to play with this rom today as well, but one thing confuse me. Have this rom original (MS) TaskMgr.exe in Windows directory, or it's substituted with FDC TaskManager3.1 ?

I prefer use original one to fast switch between apps, holding green answer button, because it is lite and quick for every day using. Sometimes i use FDC TaskManager, but only installed in separate folder. Many Rom builders , unfortunally, like to substitute original TaskMgr with FDC one, without any choice for user. But more convenient to have a choice where possible.

Now im use Karmba V3.3 for this reason.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
yep it is still present, but it is not shown, you can find under \windows called as taskmanager.exe

of course original htc task manager was get off because it's too heavy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
ok this is pretty easy... now Start space is a bit larger, just 10 pixels, this should be enough for every tastes (I hade to reduce a bit also font size in the title task), anyway sometimes happens to me too... I just use the corner side of Start menu (up-left) instead of trying to tap the round windows button... luckily the screen is very sensitive it will still detect the touch
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ksekhar:
That helps. Thanks!!!

Please provide the V05 now :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
Dia Duit V05 is out...

-= HERE BELOW A BRIEF SUMMARIZE OF V05 ROM =-

Cache optimizations, pre-fetch full enabled, this means the system needs some minutes to reach best performance, less memory "leaks"

Ramdisk (4Mb) enabled by default: WM6 hard cache, Opera & IE cache moved in ramdisk; this speed-up the whole system (planned ramdisk hibernation once a hour, so you don't loose previous cache after reboot or hard reset)

Synchronous buffering between main & nand memory

Moved MAIL + Attachments folder from main memory (My Device) to external one (\Internal Storage\MAIL) so no more need to backup mails (we can store more mails too of course)

Excluded apps: QuickGPS (very unuseful)

some notes to know:

pimbackup is enabled to make scheduled (automatic) backups every day at 5.00AM, remember for 1st to make a restore of your previous backup or the 1st automated one will be empty (this because you have a fresh installation, so you must populate it before 5.00AM) ... after every pimbackup "restore"

you must reboot

, this is normal & important too or cprog.exe will stay at 30% of CPU ;)

to speed up a bit the whole system & get off ActiveSync popping up every 5 minutes answer "OK" when asking to remove ActiveSync time change queue (of course ActiveSync will work normally when connected trough the usb cable)

take really care about tweakPers (must edited before run) it has some features that probably you wont want :D & from V02 tweakBoot, tweakPerm, BgSwitch & backupStartMenu scripts will be automatically created/overwritten, so remember to write your personalizations into tweakPers because it wont overwritten, an example of tweakPers is here)

I strongly suggest to upgrade your radio version too (try 07, 08 or BS14 and find your best), 03 & 05 are really outdated, download new radios always here

DO NOT remove the (automatic created) hibernation file "SwapImgDoNotRemove" because it's a copy of your cache, NOR remove files inside Ramdisk (the original cache) & neither remove MAIL folder under "Internal Storage" because from V05 mails are stored here

IMPORTANT: I've activated some experimental features as: MAIL folder on "Internal Storage" & synchronous buffering between main & nand memory (internal storage) so I need feedbacks in particular about MAIL & GPS LAG

have fun & many thanks to all :)

bye,

Nop, its design for diamond, so unless you want to brick your device.. Don't do it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
thanks for the new rom

will download now and test over the weekend
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
you must pay attention with upx software, anyway gwes, manila & some other big/complex exe can't be compressed, or better they can be compressed but wont work as you expect... so you can compress everything under OEM but remember to replace back your gwes & manila exe, instead under SYS you can compress just few files... such as games... & for finish forget to compress dll, are too complex & have many "calls" to others that can't be compressed at all... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:

same here....i test them all.....and aways come back to this rom :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Alright, .. Sejt :P

Will try your rom soon, i am a little busy this week. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mmaacc:
I've tried a number of ROMs in the last 2 weeks, but I must say this is one of the most thought through ones that left the very best impression of all. I like the backup and restore features and I think this is a great way for a future proof software load. Thanks a lot Suiller!

One question, perhaps it was answered but I can't read through all 140 pages ;). What is the RAM disk feature useful for?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
As there is no Connection_set-up for this great ROM and instead of downloading the whole set-up, I include a set-up for the UK networks and one for the orange network only.

____________________________________________________________________

This windows exe made by HTC sends the settings to the phone via active sync.

And this Orange UK only .CAB file is by RABDO

Hope some UK users find useful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
suiller what radio are you using

how long is your battery lasting on the new rom?

many thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jackuuuuu:
Hey Suiller and everyone.

I'm getting small and annoying problems:

1. ActiveSync - Keeps on popping. Despite default setup or overwrite setup. I had this problem since pre8. :(

2. TouchFlo - How to disable it completely? I can't get it to work with Adv Config Tools 3.3.

3. Touch Sensitive Wheel - How to disable it completely? I keep on calling the wrong person when this is activiated. I tried to disable it with Diamond Tweaks, but it just keep on working :(

4. Everything else is so cool. I like and this is my fav rom :)

Thank you very much for your time and hard work. Really appreciated :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wmykj:
same here since pre8

the connection wizard cab from 2.00 works great, now I can have that E icon again :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jackuuuuu:
Hey wmykj,

I'm so glad that I'm not alone in the world :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
it speed-up the cache management & in particular browser cache
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
I'm still using 1.00.25.08... but it's very difficult to say what are difference between different radios, it depends by many factors
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmmm...

1. I suppose you have yet disabled from 1st menu installation... do you sync your mobile trough ActiveSync?

2. You can disable it from today configuration: Settings => Personal => Today => Items => tap/deselect TouchFLO 3D

3. I didn't understand what you mean... make me a detailed example so I can reproduce that issue

4. thank you :)
