Hi, Shaks

First of all, GREAT JOB!!! After release of official 2.03 I tried at least 10 different ROMs, but yours is almost perfect, for my needs. UC worked almost great, just a little bit confusing at the end, but I waited and Diamond did everything right. :)

Couple of suggestions and questions, since you're going to cook more :D

HTC GPS Tool, there is a newer version, supports VGA (if you are lazy to look for it, I'll send it to you :D)

New version of Opera, but this can be done manually, so no big deal.

And a question about Gsen or Gnes, I just can't make these work. Garmin Mobile XT just won't rotate. Any idea?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

Thanks for your feedback. Good to hear you like it.

UC will work a heck of alot better on the next version.

I did play with a newer version of htc tool however I wasn't impressed as it didn't have all the options. Can you send me the link to the one you have?

Also this newer version of opera do you have a link? When I cooked this rom this was the latest version of opera.

I had no problems using gyrator & gnes on the 2.00 version however have not tried on 2.03. Nobody has mentioned any issues with it and I haven't made any changes to the rom that should affect them however I have seen similar questions on other 2.03 based roms so maybe something wrong in the base? I'll test when I have time however I'm off to work soon.

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
yea i was looking at the bench marks as well and someof ur marks were still a bit hi comparing to 21009 but will u plz leave opera as uninstalinle again thanx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Opera is staying uninstallable
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sleeps:
OK, that's great! :D. Gnes worked for me also, an all previous ROMs, but I didn't tested it on 2.03 versions, I was flashing like crazy, all the time! :D

HTC tool, i guess you tested the same one that I'm talking about, v1.2.2.17

For some reason I can't uplod cab, here is the link from another forum, including the flash :(

Opera, 9.5 build 15316

h**p://rapidshare.com/files/181271615/Opera_Mobile_9.5_build_15316_VGA_and_FLASH.rar
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Opera 15316 is already in the rom except for no Flash as I find it didn't work well before.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sleeps:
Mi bad, I tought i reinstalled it with new version! :)

It must be the flashing! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
just wondering will u get rid of the original pics that com with the rom and that mommy video ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sleeps:
I don't know about you, but I dont have neither video or pictures after flash...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jamm555:
hey i have a htc touch diamond unlocked gsm and i wanted to upgrade it to the newer rom above i never flashed a rom before but my phone is already unlocked im on att so can someone give me a step by step for dummies on how to flash to a new rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
[TUT]Complete upgrading guide (HardSPL+Radio+ROM) NOT FOR CDMA USERS!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
no not for me but a friend says this what he had after he finnished flashing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sleeps:
Only time i saw introduction video was the time i got my Diamond out of the box. Haven't seen it on any custom ROMs. Photos i did, but none of those exists on Shaks ROM. Or I'm special :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndyChecker:
no pics or videos on this rom here either which is good
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Yep definitely no sample pics or videos.

Startup video does not play on the 3.10 rom but does play on 3.00. Playshow was removed from the rom to stop the playback. Sample pics/videos are copied to the internal storage by the standard roms so if they are present on the internal storage they are there from before so just delete them from internal storage and they will be gone unless you flash a rom with them in.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jamm555:
hey im tryin to down load the rom file it says customruu.exe but when i click on it says application fails to initialize properly i already did hard spl and now irt says on my phones bootloader screen spl 1.40 did i do something wrong
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
If you have succesfully done Hard SPL it should say SPL-1.xx.Olinex where xx is the version of hard spl used.

If the customruu comes as failing to initialise properly on your computer, either the customruu file is corrupt so download again or something incomptible on your computer. You can use the flashing from internal storage method instead however you must first ensure it says Olinex on you bootloader.

To flash from internal storage do the following

1. Copy to DIAMIMG.nbh file to Internal Storage

2. Hold volume down button & back button then press the soft reset button (where the stylus goes)

This will then load the bootloader and ask if you want to flash DIAMIMG.nbh, just follow the instructions. Again ensure your bootloader says olinex first!!

Shaks, here my suggestions:

GPRS disconnects after 5 minutes - OK for me

SMS Sent Notification Enabled - OK for me

Wake up on new SMS - OK for me

I'm using Enable Lock on Backlight

Task Manager set to close all programs using X button - I desactivate this task manager for me, But I suggest to do not set it to close for all programs, sometimes there are programs that you want to keep running in background (as example skype, talkaunot, ...) I agree that some programs should close automatically to free memory (as QuickGPS, Album, Explorer, CommManager and my be others). By the way I notice that ActivSync is always running in background, I don't know if it is only me. I tried eliAs_ASyncKiller.cab, and another cab from Dutty, ActivSync still there. No big deal.

Question: I tried to disable notification on Wireless network detected with all the roms I used never worked, I used Start/Settings/sound&notifications/... and I used PocketToolman (Disable wireless network detected notification) nothing worked, any idea ? No big deal too.

Thank you and keep the great work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the answering this question. Really appreciate your feedback. As I said now the rom is UC (working 100% in next version & working Okish in this version) I don't mind making some changes.

Activesync is a pain on all these roms for those that use it. I tested asynckiller and it didn't do much. Some people suggest making it exclusive so it doesn't show up. I use my exchange server so I'm not bothered by it at all and all my family & friends are on my exchange server. This behaviour is the same on all these 2.00 & 2.03 roms. Have you tried the fake server method or removing a particular rellprog.exe or something similar in your notifications queue?

Re the wireless question, if you have disabled it in sounds & notification then it should work I guess. If it's in all the roms you have tried it's not something linked to this particular rom and will be the same in the base rom. Check if the question has been asked before and if not see if anybody else can help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
iGo doesn't rotate, either (i use Gyrator btw). the trick is having the screen already rotated _before_ running Garmin ;)

about the Activesync problem.. i already posted the solution here (for the ppl who dont use exchange activesync):
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks iRiKi. I will add this information to the first page.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jamm555:
do i disconnect my usb cable
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] king_dani:
got a question for Shaks :

did you include flash lite in 3.10? I ask this because I saw that you added the latest version of opera , that a modified flash lite is able to show flash enabled websites like youtube.

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sleeps:
For iGO I don't mind, because I can setup rotation in the application itself. Regarding Garmin, yes, rotating screen before running application is a solution, but I know it worked before with Gnes, so, just trying to troubleshoot why it is not working now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wired69:
Thanks Shaks for this ROM, it is the first ROM I have found that is UK centric (UK regional settings and weather) and it has all the common apps and tweaks I need! So far, I haven't had any problems at all (which is unusual for custom ROMs!).

The only tweak I would like to see by default is to turn off the keyboard auto pop-up using this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]

"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001

It's not a biggy as you have associated .reg files with regedit which is a massive time saver for me.

Other than this, maybe include MortScript by default?

Thanks again, I think this ROM may be a keeper for me!

By the way, can anyone recommend a decent Radio version to use with this ROM? I'm still using Radio 1.00.25.05

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] goRt:
1.8.25.20 works well for me (UK Orange)

1.9.25.23 had way too much battery usage
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] joetzzz:
Model No. in Device Information?

Hi Shaks, I really want to try your ROM. But I would like to know what you set in "Model No." in Device Information (see attachment). Is it "HTC Touch Diamond P3700" or something else? The reason I ask is that some programs I need won't install if the Model No. is not "HTC Touch Diamond P3700". Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. I would recommed adding any extra settings such as the keyboard auto pop up (which I don't mind at all as) using UC (which works OK in this version but a heck of a lot better in the next)

Mortscript will most likely be included in the next version as I'm planning on creating a setting app with it for the device lock once I learn how to use it.

P.S I use 1.09.25.23 on t-mobile UK

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Model number is HTC Touch Diamond P3700. I'm pretty sure this is changeable in the registry.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ernexto:
shaks, i cant't get any version of flash lite i found to work!!! :(

i know it's buggy (as you said) but do you know a way to install flash for opera on your rom?? thx a lot mate!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
It's the new version of opera 15316 that the rom doesn't work for some reason. However I believe there is a new version of flashlite out that does work.

Try this cab:

http://diamond.geg0r.de/Shaks/Juggalo_X Official Flash Lite 3.1 CE-OS 20757.cab
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ernexto:
tried yesterday (it's part of a rar found somewhere) but no luck... :(

or maybe i miss something:

- installed it and soft-reset

- launch opera, but no luck on playing flashfiles...

if someone finds a solution, please share it with us. :)

tia
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Check opera settings & see if you can enable plugins. I think there's possibly a problem with enabling plugins. I f it doesn't work downgrade to a version of opera that does work properly with flash. Opera on the device is uninstallable woohoo.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
i cant seem tofind if any one posted this but here it goes

try this shaks if u may plz

open commanager then exit it or even press x to kill it then in fs task manager ,,,it still appears to be running u got any clue why this is., so i ended up killing the task from the manager it self

, i was reading some other posts from duttys roms this has happend in the past
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] king_dani:
i was gonna suggest the exact solution , luckily shaks already did. i don't want to change anything in your ROM though, not even the opera.heheheh

i still got this question :

where is facebook app afterall? i can't seem to find it, you have said it is pre installed in your ROM

am i wrong?

cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
The facebook/youtube upload is part of the Album so you can upload pictures & videos straight from it. There is no seperate app, just 2 control panel options, Uploader & Account Manager
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Tested. Still shows up in taskmgr. I've seen this in other roms as well. Is it really an issue? It does not show up in the htc task manager
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
hi shaks, couple of things i'd like to see that you might consider :)

the 'slide to answer' txt removed from incoming calls.

also not a big fan of the semi transparent 'cover' when in a call

great rom tho cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
The cover can easily be disabled. I've posted the reg file somewhere on this thread. I'll look into the slide to answer text removal (as I did in 2.3 & 2.4) however it needs a modified version of a dll file and the ones on the forum I believe are from the old slode to answer files. I'll use it if somebody has modified the current slide to answer file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndyChecker:
I think I prefer slide to answer after missing the first few calls trying to get it working!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] king_dani:
oh , ok then , thanks

but i'm pretty sure ,there was an app written precisely for logging into facebook and checking alot more things
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
There may be a third party app for that but it's not part of this rom. Only facebook upload from the Touch HD is.

There is a program in there for logging into facebook and checking alot more things. It's called Opera;););)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Slide to Anser is definitely to stay. Only the text on the scren "Slide to Answer/Ignore" MAY be removed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] funkys:
shaks1979 in the new official ROM updates they say that fixed some bugs. For example the music lag. Will you update your ROM with these bug fixes?

best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
This is based on the official 2.03 ROM so any bugs fixed in their or also fixed in here already. I've not made any changes which introduce any more bugs. (Fixed some htc bugs though e.g reply to sms - check changelog 3.10)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] funkys:
Well the music lag discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=412065 is not fixed in your ROM and I assume in the official WWE ROM also. May be this fixes are only in the language specific ROMs. This music lag is very annoying.

best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I guess we will have to wait and see if they are or not. If they definitely are then maybe we can look at getting a fix in to this rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
na no issue just knowing ur rom is like 97% perfect just wondering if u new how to fix such thing but maybe its also in the uncooked htc rom so probly not somthing to fix

by the way think we'll see ur new rom this weekend
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I'm pretty sure it's in the original as well. I'll test when I get a chance.

I can release the new rom this weekend however I haven't had a chance to look at a device lock settings app yet so It wouldn't include it.

The rest of it is spot on.

I just need to cook mortscript in as it's very useful and test that. The new device lock setting app would be based on mortscript as I know how to script in general but don't have time to learn to code .net
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
goood news to hear cant wait to try it out, I been putting ur rom on 6 other diamonds lol they like there fones now

shaks i use invisible shield by zagg have u ever had this on any of ur ppc .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] msspatel:
thanks

looking a nice ROM thx for sharing it with us
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
nope, doesnt work with the stock opera :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I guess you'll have to downgrade to the older version of opera. As opera is uninstallable, this is no biggy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
since september i only needed once for flash playing in ppc :)

next time i need it, ill just use skyfire, much more fluid despite the low quality ;)

and about 15233 version...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3180024&postcount=443

will try it soon :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
hi shaks have u notice any bugs in this 2.03 rom was reading in alphazero thread its got lots but using ur rom it feels bug free whatsoever ? anynews on ur new rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I find it's spot on. I think the bugs are down to the different languages possibly. Atleast new languages can be cooked from the original versions now as they have been released.

The new roms likely to be released tonight or tomorrow. I just need to write a couple of simple mortscript scripts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] CyberKieken:
Upgraded to v3.10 today, seems like it got even faster :)

Great that the text-messaging bug is gone now too, I was thinking I was the only one experiencing it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
New Version 3.20

Changelog for v3.20

Changes to UC so connection setup no longer tries to take control of the screen leading to looping/getting stuck whilst installing customisations. UC works 100% now, no failures aslong as your sdconfig.txt is written correctly.

Connection Setup now runs after first boot, never at the end of customisation.

All cooked in apps (except Task Manager) now no longer install to program files but stay in rom saving 2Mb Storage

Mortscript is now cooked into the rom and associated with script files

NEW Device Lock Setting Application (created by me). No longer uses cab files to setup the lock. Lock on suspend now immediately locks the screen to the homepage if the power button is pressed. If the device is allowed to suspend itself the screen does not lock to the homescreen but keeps the active windows open (this uses armstrom devicelock.exe - thanks armstrom). Lock on backlight has an adjustable timeout now.

SMSfix is no longer installed as a cab but cooked in for storage saving.

MSVCUK & CVSD are available as cabs

Added Suspend PPC & Reset PPC shortcuts back in.

Performance should be identical to 3.10. Rom Settings identical to 3.10.

Still uses 12Mb Pagepool

Anyway to have a cab file for the uc update cause don't want to flash it again and again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] guythomaz:
I just flashed this new version, and it seems faster as V3.10. I used UC to install my applications and it works like a charme... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
Trying 3.2 out now. Thanks...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Unfortunately cannot add this as a cab as UC only runs after a hard reset/flash and any installed cab files are lost at this stage so it would be absolutely pointless.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Good you got it sorted. The revised version works alot better with UC. Previously I found tomtom got stuck installing about 50% of the time and the device would just keep looping and flashing the screen whilst connection setup tried to take control unless used the HIDE: command before which I don't like doing as this program requires no user input.

Also randomly when there was no sdconfig.txt present it would sometimes get stuck at the end looping away. Now connection setup runs after it's rebooted it's absolutely fine.

Does it seem faster than 3.1 or as fast as to you?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
OK I have a problem. Unfortunately I added my own googlemaps cab file (the one with Streetview- even though it doesn't work in the UK), and after installing the cab, Google Maps launches up. Now that I added it to sdconfig, it's stuck on Google Maps :p. Any ideas?

EDIT: So I was worried I'd end up in endless circles. So this is what I did if anyone else runs into the same problem.

While it was stuck installing Google Maps, I connected the phone to my PC and activesync came up. I was able to access my Internal Storage and so I copied SDConfig.txt out of there, edited the Google Maps line out, and copied it back. Then a hardreset and done!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
As the program needs user input it gets stuck during UC because it's waiting for input in the background

This is what u need to do:

before the cab command for google maps in sdconfig use:

LOCK:Disabled
HIDE:Enabled

Then after the command

HIDE:Disabled
LOCK:Enabled

This will unlock the screen and show manila in the background. Google maps will install silently until it needs your input (i.e the app loads) then you can exit the app and continue with setup

Also if you get stuck in an endless circle you can soft reset using the stylus and it will no longer continue with customisation. I would then edit the sdconfig.txt then hard reset again as the phone is sometimes not in a fully usable state if it hasn't reset itself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
just wanna say thank u again shaks for this rom

got a question if anyone can answer this, if we instal the same programms after each rom flash is it nessesary to make a hardreset bkuz i install the same apps/software blablabla over an over again nothing ever new ??
