Thanks anja31 and gadjet..

Any reports on the ROM? good, bad??

Can't flash till late tonight:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
Cheers for that... lets get it into the kitchen! :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
First impression: For a stock rom its feels good, best stock rom so far:) I dump this rom and put my own language XT9 in it and get extra storage in it and the rom feels very snappy with pagepool 16. I made a VSBenchmark test with this rom and get the final score 2830, not bad at all! and the radio "feels" very good for now, lets see about the battery drain later. But my first impression is that this rom is much better then 1.96 and 1.97 rom, but it can be the pagepool.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
Thanks for the information my friend... just stripping it down ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
can one of you guys post version numbers of the components plz?!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] christonge:
Already posted above... nice one
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] carburano:
Nooooooooo... Zipgenius we are the only interested in social networking engine...:D For me this rom is really good (manila is incredibly fast) but without social networking is null...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] yozgatg:
yep i have to agree this is the fastest manila to date, it's amazing

now the only thing we need is slide to answer thingy from the HD

annoying bloat, error reporting, and other stock rom crap

messaging keyboards seem to have less height

second edit:

ring delay is very minimal

manila mods work fine including bg4allpages
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mondilv:
Tried at CE758/755 : looks very fast. Video bench, the most.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaNa-S:
And the dialer have the slide to answer? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
no.... this has already been said, read the thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Röchelhilpert:
witch language has this Beta Rom ? I would like to try it out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
WWE = English.

also says this in one of the posts "Language - USA English"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ryousuke:
is this legit 2.00 ?

there's alot that makes me think its not...

i.e the splash screen "not for sale" the font doesnt look like it'll come from HTC...

missing accounts manager... etc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
WWE..........
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
it is a test version of a new ROM, therefore it wouldnt normally be released as it is, so there will be some stuff missing.

The warning is there for this reason as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
wont know. got it from a leaf fpt server.. it does say it is a test rom

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] yozgatg:
my impressions so far:

works rather nice, very fast, stable

what's also new in manila is that you have a Forward option in the Messaging tab

I don't know if someone said this but the onscreen keyboard is smaller in height leaving you more screen estate to work with,

i have no problems with the new keyboard (usability is about the same) and actually i like it more since you can see more of the screen now

i hope someone can extract the keyboard and TF3D of this rom so the cookers can make faster ROMs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
That would be great. I'm glad every one is happy so far....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Noonski:
Great find.

With New Roms that are official, don't forget to add tem to the Wiki..

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] underzone:
It has the message "Test Only, Not For Sale" message at boot..... testing the rest of the ROM now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] audiophil:
This was really good news, x-mas present from HTC :) I've heard evil rumours about htc abondening their models early, but diamonds are forever aren't they? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Noonski:
In that case there is another problem then.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
as mentioned before, Windows Mobile 6.5 is supposedly going to be released in the first few weeks of 2009, so no sure how far development will go with 6.1.

might even get dropped...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] audiophil:
Is it comfirmed, or at all rumours, about releasing win 6.5 for the diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
it has only been confirmed that Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released, nothing is said about which handsets will run it, altho i'm sure diamond will be able to :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Probably has a time bomb.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
If not a official 6.5 rom for Diamond, our master chiefs will make us one;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
lol, it has to be done tbh... :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
Have done a quick search of the websites of the major cellphone service providers in South Africa and can't find any reference to the ROM update.

Does anyone know if the ROM contains any localization? "AFK" makes me hopeful for an Afrikaans language inclusion (even though the correct abbreviation is AFR). Maybe another native South Africa language? Lol.

Just curious as to why, exactly, this should be dubbed a South Africa release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
*cue banning for racist responses* lol

it is defiantly a South Africa release, not sure why AFK tho... typo? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
Afrikaans and the other native languages barely get supported in any type of electronic format. But you misunderstand. As a matter of fact, it would be soooo funny to have for instance isiXhosa installed on the phone... iDiamawnd. RTFL!!!!

(Soz, SA humour.)

However, I'm still flabbergasted at the idea of a SA ROM release. I mean, service providers here barely ever brand their devices, so most devices are basically unlocked (yep, read it an' weep it). The only operator capable of branding IMHO is Vodacom, which is 60% owned by Vodafone, so their devices sometimes carry Vodafone branding...but there is already a separate ROM branch for Vodafone. Besides, the Diamond has been available in SA for quite a while now (6 months, if I'm not mistaken), so why bother with branding now? Anyhow... will see.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
the link i found was from a south african server.. Maar ongelukkig is dit nie in afrikaans nie.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
According to wikipedia AFK is abbreviation for Afrikaans... but i know afr is abbreviation for afrikaans

Moderator edit

Die moderaters hier verstaan die Afrikaanse vloek woorde ;)

But will see. Nice to find a comrade on here... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
as stated here, it is South Africa, remember 'Branding' is different to the SKU ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
(Apologies for being a bit off-topic)

Apparently, "AFK" IS in fact a reference to Afrikaans.

The acrononym is a language code, specifically the SIL three-letter code system or ISO 639-3, a part of the so-called Ethnologue, "currently the most comprehensive existing language inventory" (quote from Wikipedia).

An interesting read to those with wider interests.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] seatone:
hm

Pls, don't blame me, but I've a bad feeling, I dunno why..., that this rom is just a "well treated" 1.93 ROM...

Sorry again, I don't want to offend anyone, but just a feeling :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
I was thinking along the lines of Manilla branding...

Anyway, am not too clued up with all this modding business ("oh, the sacrilege!" yes, yes, I know) so what exactly does SKU imply? Wiki'ed it, but wasn't very helpful.

How do ROM releases work in the private sector? Per request by operator? Popular demand?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
Why are you choosing your words so carefully? I hope you don't think I will be offended? Like I said, I really don't care WHAT it contains, I just want to know why it's branded "South Africa"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
haha ja die moderator verstaan nie afrikaanse vloek woorde nie.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
Its a release from leaf. If you go to the leaf shop online. they are busy upgrading their site so that the will have online support like on the HTC website.. Hulle se mos local is lekker
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
Why do you say that??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
Pre-fokken-sies. Maar passop, netnou klik iemand. Hier's hoeka 'n paar dodgy karakters hier. Het jy enige idee hoe hierdie SKU-besigheid werk? Reik HTC dit per land of selfoonoperateur uit? Of wat?

EDIT: Sorry, just saw the above post. Answered my question.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Thom4s:
It's amazing how much south african looks like dutch!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mugglesquop:
haha yeh! .... nah, i dont actually have a clue ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
That is true. are you dutch?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eddg:
Correction: South African (11 different languages)

Afrikaans sounds like Dutch or looks like Dutch
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
Afrikaans is a direct descendent of Dutch, brought here by the Dutch colonialists in the Jan van Riebeeck-era. In those times, Afrikaans was crudely referred to as "Kitchen Dutch". Manny of the spelling and grammar rules from Dutch still very much apply in Afrikaans.

En partykeer kan Nerderlandse mense verstaan wat Afrikaanse mense sê en omgekeerd.

Is this a new generation rom or just a kitchen?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sibbor:
ROFL !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:
Okay I have had a chance to test drive this ROM today.

Its very stable I have simultaneously been using Tomtom and the camera (took 60 photos, while on my journey, it was the 'golden hour' couldn't resist)

GPS finds a fix real quick, the quickest I have experienced to date, the lag on TOMtom is now minimal, if any, the camera is super smooth, everything working in unison...the system remains stable and smooth, its definately quicker than previous ROMS.

I used Tomtom for about 2 hours, made and took phone calls, took 60 photos and used Opera for about 20mins and used Thumbcal constantly, battery lasted just over 6 hours from full charge....

I'm sticking to this ROM, I personally like it, the smoothness and stability works for me., the fast manila is an added bonus.

Note: I did cook this ROM before I flashed my phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] s7ephene:
What changes did you make when you cooked it. So much bloatware memory is very low to start. Still trying to work out how to cook my own so would be interested in what you did. Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:
Got rid of all ringtones, album pics, sample music, autoupdate, transcriber, mp3 trimmer, rss hub, welcome centre, net CF, SqlCEMobile

Replaced Phonecanvas with Vodafone Phone canvas, added NetCF 3.5

I had 101MB free.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] s7ephene:
WOW much better. I'll still keep trying then :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
any chance of sharing your creation? :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I second that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] s7ephene:
I was going to ask also but thought it cheeky :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R. DevilR:
Did some cookers try to change pagepool ??... 16MB seems to be excessive !? (or it is perhaps the reason why pistonripper found this ROM so stable and/or Manila so fast !)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sibbor:
Yeah, please share this. Sounds pretty slimmed to me. Almost perfect... just need to replace the fileexplorer, the splashscreen at boot up etc. ^^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:
If you give me space to upload ....why not...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] H3x:
Well nothing important was being said, just having a bit of a cross-cultural experience. On a side note, for an English forum, the standard of language usage incl. register is truly horrendous.

I don't want to seem desperate, but I'm sure just about everyone here would appreciate your mod.

EDIT: Just saw your last msg. Thanks a lot. I don't personally have server storage space, but I'll see what I can do

EDIT2: Until you get more permanent storage, what about a free file hosting solution? A quick Google search yielded these, no-need-to-register sites: FileFactory and Easy-Share. I advise against using RapidShare as, in my personal experience, it's very finicky about who it allows to download etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
hey, theat dialer cover is transparent. i never seen it like that before. makes sense lol

Why would you need that when we have a hardware button for it? The HD only has it as it has no buttons.

The manila is fast, nice to see and one thing I discovered in the home screen, if u tab the calendar and you have put the Mounth View ( I use that) to start with its shown the mounth view:) This havent been the case with non manilla before this:p so here we have some progress :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pietrucci:
Not so enthousiastic...

Well well well, seems that I'm the only one who's not so enthousiatic about the speed en response of this ROM...

I flashed this ROM about 5 times buy now since yesterday evening and always had the same results: slow, much lag, bad responsiveness.

For example when I click Menu, Programs or Menu, Settings, it takes up to 3 seconds (!) before I get response. When I click a Settings item like Connection Setup, it takes about 10 hours or so (ok this is a joke, but it takes veryyyyyy long...).

I mean: compare it with the recent cooked 1.9x ROMs, it feels much much slower. Ok, manila moves fast, but so do the cooked 1.9x ROM's.

To get the clinical side of this I did my usual benchmarks on this ROM. The results confirm the above I'm afraid...

In one attachment you'll see a comparisation with other HTC stock ROMs: it's just marginal faster.

In the other attachment I compared it with recent cooked ROMs: it's much much slower than the cooked ones.

I just think this (test) ROM isn't a big step forward in speed.

Sure, after cooking it will be faster. But while the base isn't faster than in previous stocks the gain in speed won't be that much.

Then about memory: after installing my default programs I only have 14 Mb storage left! That's the lowest I ever had with any ROM. I hardly can run TomTom and use the phone simultaniously.

I really hope you cooks out ther can proove me wrong, I also want the newest and fasted possible...

And sorry about this negative post. Really hope I'm the only one on this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Laubscherc:
OK, it seems to be definitively for the South African Market. No language localisation, but if you check the weather tab, it has all the major cities by default. Nelspruit, JHB, CT etc.

On the performance side, I am impressed (Maybe because my phone was bought is SA), but the TF3D does seem very responsive, as does the phone skin interface.

(My 2c worth)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:

Interesting... I must admit I´ve cooked em all and this certainly give the sensation of more response but hey I can´t cheat the numbers. I´m running my usual light formula with a Storage 132.17 Program 107.02 and it´s the fastest thing I´ve tried with manila. :eek: and I haven´t updated the XIP yet!!!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] yozgatg:
you have to realise that the diamond also has soft buttons on the touchscreen to answer calls, the problem is that if u take the phone out of your pocket it can accidentally answer or reject the call. With the slide-to-answer canvas on the HD, this kind of accidents is not possible.

Right now the only way to fix this on the diamond is using third-party software (like AnswerKeysDisabler or PocketShield)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
hmm... in my opinion this rom performs better than 1.96... at least as responsiveness, manila is very smooth, I think with some tricks here & there things can go better, just published a cooked rom with 20940 xip & all seem working very well... of course still testing :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ND4SPD:
seems a lot slower...and this is coming from the official 1.93 ROM. Some of the parts of the HD/Viva TouchFLO 3D would've been nice too. :(
