I upgraded from Olinex 1.40 to 1.93, installed Shaks 3.2 ROM and saw my extended battery get used up in less than one day (already used radio 1.09.25.23 for months with Swift 7.0 ROM with great battery life). Downgraded to SPL 1.40 again and now using udK with 4 days of battery life. I wonder, though if 1.93 SPL was the issue?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I always find the battery takes a while to stabilise after flashing as it appears to take a hammering during the flashing process. It's fine after a couple of days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sb0611:
I would agree, if I had not had the hot phone/battery syndrome for no apparent reason (e.g. running GPS), which I never had before after ROM/Radio changes. I will give your ROM another try with Olinex 1.40 and see what happens. Thanks for the hard work, though.

i recently upgraded to latest version of opera 9.5 , with flash , which bytheway works perfect with this ROM. but i have several problems, the opera does not behave as it used to :

the navigation scroll , does not zoom , it simply jumps between hotlinks.

the font size is sooo small.

the magnification level with double tap is not enough

does anyone could help me with these?

cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
These issues cannot be rom related. I guess they only started when the new opera version was installed. If so the best place to ask these questions would be the thread where you got the opera from.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
so shaks, all very quiet. what you working on? :P

have been thinking...was it this rom that closes the opera.exe that stays open? i think you made it close when opera is shut down? its just ive noticed it takes a while for tf3d to respond after ive been using opera where in previous roms it doesnt take long. also opera.exe that stays open was only a few kb (i think) and probably helps it launch faster.

let me know owhat you think, would like to test it. cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
All 2.03 roms close opera as standard anyway, it's now set like that by htc. If you want to set this back to old behaviour I can find you the reg key. search for the realexit reg key for opera. I know what you mean, it does take a while for manila to come back but this is now how htc want it as well.

The 2.00 based roms had this manually set by myself.

Currently not planning on any updates as I am very happy with this build. If something big comes out (maybe a new htc build - unlikely) I will recook.

Net. 3.5

Hi Shaks,

Can you confirm if you have 3.5 or 2.0 on your new ROM (v3.20UC) because I keep on getting an error message on Craftyb's BBC iPlayer asking me to install Net. CF 3.5.:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
1st post states

".net 2.0 (replaced with 3.5) "

hope this answers your question :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
.net 3.5 is definitely in there and 2.0 is removed as no longer needed. All other 3.5 only apps are working correctly (including advanced config)

I have also tried my own .net apps which are 3.5 only and they worked correctly on this but not on the base rom. When I get time I will test the iplayer.

EDIT: Just been looking at the iplayer thread and you do seem to have the application loading which it wouldn't if .net 3.5 was not installed. Also your posts talk about a different issue on that thread regarding playback so are you sure you have a .net problem?

On the Messages tab the time of received message is 5 hours off (ymmv). But if I open All Messages the times are correct...wtf?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] D8LOM:
Shaks, thanks for testing iplayer, any good?

In that case it must be the iplayer app not correctly recognising my .net 3.5, anyway, here is the post about it to the developer Mr Craftyb.

Program is loading absolutely fine. App looks very very good. Installed first to program memory then realised it needed to be on internal storage or it wouldn't have space to download anything. Currently just downloading a program to play.

Maybe something has got corrupted on your .net?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] swmenzies:
Thanks for this ROM. It's great got pretty much every I wanted.

I even had a go at cooking my own ROMs (with sawmpy's help) but kept hitting a few problems.

The UC is a great addon now when I reset my device it will install all I need even my own manila files :)

Great work

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wired69:
Hi Shaks,

Although this ROM is perfect for my needs and you have already stated you have no plans for an update, I just wanted to point out that there seems to be a newer ROM available for download from the official HTC site – v2.03.405.2 (filename: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe), your ROM appears to be built on 2.03.401.2.

I am not sure if there are any major differences but I am always on the lookout for a fix for the annoying sound lag issue where a small gap is heard at exactly 5 minute intervals when listening to music (read this thread for more info).

I have tested many ROMs trying to get as close to perfect music playback as possible, unfortunately, your ROM seems to suffer reasonably badly with this problem (for me at least). The weird thing is, each ROM seems to exhibit the problem differently, for example some have just a brief gap or pause in playback whilst others have an annoying click or pop sound also.

I tried to use the above official ROM to test it but if failed updating, I think because I am using HardSPL and this is a signed ROM perhaps, so I just switched back to your ROM rather than be left with a brick!

I know this issue is beyond your control but I would be very interested in any future updates you might have based on newer HTC ROMs.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
The rom you mention is the same rom but for a different country. From what I understand there are no real differences. The drivers are the same. If you want to try that rom then you would need to flash using internal storage. Rather than from windows.

I don't play much music on my diamond but it's always worked perfectly for myself. However I don't play for long periods so don't know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
may the new rom has a gps fix update becuase the GPS Fix for O2 XDA Serra

this is what i found in wmpoweruser site---->>> i know its for the touch pro but ? As an owner of a HTC Raphael (Fuze in my case), I think that it’s one of the best devices out right now. It gets the job done with so many options for input. Yet it’s not perfect in every manner. One of the complaints on the device is the GPS lagging getting a lock with satellites.

That may now be a problem of the past as HTC has pushed out a GPS fix for the O2 XDA Serra. From what I’ve seen, it’s not a full ROM upgrade so install should be a cinch. GPS Lock-on is reported to occur much faster and in some cases, indoors as well. Click here! to download it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] materijalmen:
i have a few question about this rom.

Have you noticed that after a few days the startup sound dessapperars?

if i install this rom will the call timer reset to 0? or, do you have any idea how can i reset the `lifetimer`?

/this is off, but is there any program to lock the messages, i mean i dont want anyone to read my messages when the trying my phone/

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
There is no startup sound in this rom. I find it annoying so disabled it.

The calltimer will not be reset by the rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] materijalmen:
ok, any idea to reset/sorry for the off. I wil enable the startup sound. Everitying is great at this room, only what i needed is an original htc logo , i hate the windows start logo.

Hi,

I have a GSM Touch Diamond with the following details. I have 2 terrible problems: :mad:

1. After only 8 hours my battery have only 10%, and close. No really heavy usage.

- No Wifi, No GPS, No Bluethooth, No Games, 1 hour speaking on GSM.

2. The GSM Signal is very Low, (in comparison of some Nokia phones of friends)

- Most of the time, I have only 1 or 2 lines, instead of 4 (at maximum)

Can I upgrade to this ROM, It will be better for these 2 problems ?

Shall I upgrade before to another SPL or the 1.24 is OK ?

:confused:

I don't want to take to many risks of phone brick. It is my first time to flash a ROM

Thank you very much in advance :)

Yossy

My phone details are:

ROM:1.93.421.2 WWE

Radio: 1.00.25.05

SPL: 1.24

DIAM100 MFG 64M

Answer Lock problems

I am enjoying the ROM thank you!:) One big problem for me though.

When the phone rings I get alternating slide to answer and a slide to unlock screen and can only answer using the answer key.

I have searched this thread and can find references to Reg keys that I don't have and to programs that are absent.

The answer must be basic as no-one else seems to have the problem HELP please. :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Uninstall slide to unlock as it's not required with slide to answer built in

Removing Slide to Unlock

Thank you for your reply, I don't appear to have Slide to Unlock installed. I certainly did not install it myself. It is not in the uninstall list. I have done a search for slide.exe using Resco explorer and it does not appear to be there. I have searched the registry and can only find a reference to "phone canvas slide".

Any suggestions please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
it sounds like you could benefit from a different radio. many people find 1.09.25.23 is great. make sure you research upgrading properly, theres plenty of info
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phatdpc:
Fantastic!!!

Flashed my phone late night. And what a fantastic ROM this is.

I totally love the new smaller phonekeyboard, combined with my norwegian T9 it totally blows me off!

And the answer slider does for some weird reason never stop to amaze me! I thought "oh well, this feature is going to be bloated as hell". But no it works perfectly.

My previous rom was the Elite3, old I know but I haven't thought of flashing my phone again before I came across this thread. And what a difference! Fast as a jetplane compared! I totally love this!

The only problem so far is that when the phone wakes up from suspend it displays a thick white border at the bottom where "unlock" text is suppose to be. It's no biggie because it works okay when I touch the screen. It might be the SPB Shell I am using that is causing it. Haven't got time to debug it more atm. Will report back when I have tested some more in a few days.

Anyways, many thanks to the ROM developer!

first off...

Shaks, Killer rom bro... I've tried em all believe me... This rom takes everything else hands down...

One thing that just came to my attention though, why does the bottom curtain not reduce in opacity when I'm on home (as it would do on previous roms I've used)...

Is this a tweak you've made while building the rom or is this a tweak I must've inadvertently applied myself?

Once again, much respect for the contribution to the community.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:

I have noticed that scrolling in the contacts using the stylus cannot be done. :confused::confused::confused:.

But it can be done without any problem using the fingers. Is that a bug or just a setting???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lazerin:
That's a feature.

It enables you to use your fingernail for selection, and finger pad for scrolling i.e. it can distinguish between the two to allow both funtions.

Yes, I installed the driver and it makes a difference. I don't think it had drivers installed at the start.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
PorX

Thanks for your feedback. I've made no changes to the curtains in manila. They are exactly as they come in default htc roms. I use the flames background on my homescreen and the bottom curtain is partially opaque. Wonder if you have changed somethind on manila?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the feedback guys

The ati driver is only required if you use direct3d apps e.g vr hologram and a couple of others as the default htc driver does not accelerate d3d and is done in software. Opengl apps are already accelerated.

The driver makes absolutely no difference in normal use or in video playback.

I would read this thread and make your own mind up:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=475493

The driver is left as default so the user can make their own mind wether to install it or not and if so which one as their is also the omnia driver. I personally use no driver
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

Thanks for your feedback. I use the lock on suspend feature and i get the unlock softkey ok on the bottom bar. Did you hard reset after flashing?

As you say the issue could well be linked to spb shell or even some other app you have.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
just for the record

this is the longest i have kept a rom :)

i see no point to update a rom just because there is a updated app

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the feedback Liam. Really appreciate it.

I fully agree with you that there is not much point updating for a few apps as this has the latest build from HTC anyway and I'm not keen on changing XIP/SYS for minor changes and in the process possibly break something else , especially as it all works as required anyway.

Again, thanks for your feedback and the excellent work that you do for the community looking after this forum

Love the ROM but I'm getting a problem.

Live Mesh will not load as it says 'unable to find a suitable version of SQL CE on this device'.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Tekguru,

This rom contains sql ce3.5 which livemesh isn't compatible with for some reason and needs the older version.

Found some info on this here.

http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6329

and

http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMeshMobile/thread/b8a6da09-c53a-4168-91bf-f476d2a1876f/

incidentally the rom originally contained sqlce3.0 which would have worked ok with this however had some requets to upgrade this to 3.5 as newer apps that were created to work with 3.5 only were not working. This is the first report of an app that is not working with the newer version that I am aware of.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tekguru:
Cheers for that, as long as I know about it I can live with it :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
You don't need to live without the app, just install the older sqlce version and you should be good to go
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tekguru:
Oh I know, but surely that eats into memory?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
It looks like the 3 cab files will use about 2.43Mb storage space on your diamond but shouldn't use any extra program memory as they will only be used when required. 2.43Mb extra storage space used is the price to pay for live mesh to work until they make it compatible with 3.5 which I am suprised MS haven't. If it's an issue I could cook a version with the original version of sqlce as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gabib77:
Yeap, you can... I have the same HardSPL and i did it last week ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tekguru:
Okay another issue or two.....

1) If I try and send a TXT message (on O2) I get 'Yout text message cannot be sent' (error synchronising is stated in the bottom tray). Any ideas on how to fix this?

2) Using BlueMusic or BT Audio I am unable to get sound redirected into the headset profile (for playback on my Peugeot 307CC). Any ideas what may cause this.

All looks well now apart from these issues.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I'm on t-mobile and only get the txt message error if I have no reception (and always have done on all roms)

Maybe the sms text message center number is set incorrectly? Are you receiving text's OK? Try rerunning connection setup and check the numbers under phone settings.

Also I have never tried bluemusic or bt audio but use btmusic to transfer all audio to my nokia ck-7w car kit and it works well (apart from some nag screens). I previously tried vjvolubilis and that worked OK too.

Available here:

P.S Did you hard reset after flashing?

How can I have playshow work again on my device?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tekguru:
Well the text message problem is fixed - it was a red herring - the number I was trying to send to turned out to have a number missing and was invalid.

Still no luck with the problem on transferring the audio through to the Peugeots BT handsfree system. btmusic (like the rest of the apps) seems like it is functioning just no sound comes out on the blinking car.

Just thought on this and paired the Ignito with the Plantronics BT headset and on that all the applications DO work, so it looks like it is a problrem with the cars BT system.

Sigh....

Why would you want playshow? It only plays the welcome movie and that's it, nothing else. The welcome movie can also be played manually from your internal storage/content using the album.

It could be installed as a cab however would still not play after a hardreset. I would have to cook it back it however I don't see the point.

Thanks fot the feedback zigman, tekguru & the_maker (& anyone else I missed)

The thread_sms.htm will revert to normal after a hard reset (or possibly deleting it using total commander)

I have attached the original here anyway
