Lucas

Not a problem. I was initially planning on keeping it exclusive to this rom however I really can't stop that happening

One of the things I would like is to be credited for the app in the first post as it as shaks.p's device lock app not a lucas device lock app. I see you have credited me further down however it would be nicer in the first post ;)

Regards

Thanks for cooking an excellent ROM, it is a joy to use compared to any stock ROM.

Just one thing, the phone lock shade (key protector) is causing me problems, I know that you have linked to a way of removing it but I kind of like it, the only problem being that sometimes it won't respond. The slider refuses to budge which has many times prevented me from hanging up quickly. It looks like something is moving, like a overlaid frame or something slightly opaque but the slider won't respond.

Is anyone else having this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rick GM:
Since flashing this ROM my battery life has improved significantly. The add-on goodies are an added bonus. Brilliant.

I know this has been reported already but just reiterating that SPB's GPRS Monitor has problems with drop down menus (like in Icon configuration) and the same with SPB's Pocket Plus drop downs for configuring Close Button. A miniscual problem compared to the positives of this ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lucasjohny:
same, you can disable the phone shader. just look for disable phone lock shader cab and install it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lucasjohny:
Done, :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Topfar:
Thanks for your reply, yes I have downloaded the cab, but am still waiting to install it in case there is something else that I can do to fix it, as I said, I really do like it, it only seems to happen occasionally.

Maybe it's a conflict with one of the phone tweaks for showing the call history list or something? It does look like a full screen transparent page is overlaid when this problem occurs, as you can see a kind of ghosting going on when you are beating the crap out of the screen trying to get the shader to respond.

Is there another thread about this app. anywhere?

Just found out that the end call hard key still works, should have tried that first.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Topfar:
Hi Shaks, I would like to make a request for inclusion in your ROM of the remote tracker http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/ software?

It seems that if you don't integrate it, it will be disabled by a hard reset which obviously reduces its effectiveness.

I don't know enough to be able to do this myself and am worried that if I tried that I will balls up the ROM in some way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lucasjohny:
Hi Shak anyway to use xip 21139 wm6.5, is very very fast compare to wm6.1, I'm trying PDACornerIllusion 21139 V3 it's damp fast, but for me its over customized by abusalza for the system start menu, thnx in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
what about trying this http://www.htcaddicts.com/ very cool app beats softreseting the phone all the time
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndyChecker:
What's your plans in terms of updating this rom Shaks?

I am very happy with this rom still so thanks again but the topaz (diamond 2 ) bits look nice :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I'll look into updating soon. I'm a little busy with other things however I don't know wether to wait till topaz manila is ready or not. Maybe I might do two versions this time. 1 with diamond manila & 1 with topaz.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lookfor:
topaz manila will be nice. you should give a shot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I'd have to wait for xboxmod to finish it. It's a huge task is the conversion.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
Nice ROM thanks

Trying your ROM for the first time today - So far so good as expected - I was told this ROM was fast and stable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the feedback R3PUBL1K. Hope I get time to work on a new build soon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
That would be welcoming news.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks again. :D

MS Voice Command - Not recognize me

Hello, I saw so many reference to MSVC that I think it must work good, BUT:confused:

When I install MSVCUK (or others), MSVC didn't recognize my command or my contact names, only I success to recognize: "What time is it?"

Anyone have some idea, shall I need to do some adaptation to "My English" ? English is not my mother tongue language.

Thank you very much

Yossy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] THUDUK:
Are you planning on an update soon, just I want to use your ROM, but will wait if your going to do an update in the next week or so...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

The new rom could be upto two weeks away yet. I need to find some time to make it. I might have time next weekend.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gman25:
Htc diamond 2 apps!!!!!!!!

I GOT THIS LINK FROM MOBILETOPSOFT.COM

ENJOY THE NEW APPS

http://www.everythingdiamond.info/

Mr. Sharks, can you add some of this apps to your ROM. some of this new apps work with your ROM v3.20 like htc diam 2 keyboard which is bad #$%#. but some don't work like Diamond 2 Email Wizard,Diamond 2 QuickGPS 1.0.1911.1733? thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Update on new rom.

Currently I have managed to find time to cook using the new 2.03 MRII base from 27/02 and all is working well.

So far I have the rom running exactly as in my 3.20 base except I have updated HTC Album/Social Networks Engine.

As this is no real improvement to the current 3.20 rom (except slightly newer drivers + slightly newer album) I don't see any point in releasing this yet so I am going to work on adding as much of the topaz software in first before and maybe updating some of the apps first.

If there is demand for a none topaz version just like 3.20 but built on new base let me know and I will release that as well.

Watch this space

Thanks for the support guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lookfor:
keep up the good work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ernexto:
dear shaks, what about making your rom lite (without manila) so we can try it with pointUI 2?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndyChecker:
I am all for as much of the new Topaz stuff that actiually works well (is an improvement on what we have) in your next rom as possible.

IMHO there is no need to buld for buildings sake like some people on here do as this last rom of yours has been the most stable and therefore the longest lasting ROM on any of my HTC phones over the last 4 years :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
True man as long as its a stable TOPAZ makeover then go for it cuz ur rom is perfectamondo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
couldnt agree more with these guys. would like some of the new stuff but it would have to be super stable to top your current rom. thanks for the good work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Good to see the support for the rom even though it's 1.5 months since last release now!

The topaz stuff is looking very good and looks to be stable however not had much time with it yet.

What I will likely do is have two roms, one a standard version almost like 3.20 just with updated drivers, opera and mayble slight modifications and another version that has topaz features e.g the keyboard, menus, notifications, calculator etc. This rom will most likely retain the current AKU build for stability as I am happy with this.

Shaks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
looks like the diamond2 stuff requires a windows build 21000 or higher. the replacement menu enhancement looks very nice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case with the 21000 builds. I tested cabs for keyboard,calc, sensor & email from jmztaylor site and they all worked well. Maybe notifications/menus will not work on earlier builds.

Have you seen this info on 21000 builds elsewhere? If so can you post a link for this please?

You're right about the menus I had a look at the menus on udk rom and they were absolutely brilliant.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
i havnt tested any of the new stuff sorry. just been browsing the threads for notifications/menus and they both say 21000
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
You are absolutely right.

Just checked this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=491676&page=3

Also tried installing on my rom and didn't work.

This and the new menu is probably the biggest improvement for me of topaz/rhodium as current notification handling is very poor so it looks like I will need to upgrade the build. Thanks for the headsup on this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
Ive tryed using the notifications etc, they do require i higher build, but when using them they are brilliant.

I tryed them using the latest udk rom, it is highly unstable and has a hard-reset loop in it, for me anyway, there seems to be lots of issues with it.

the only problem there was with the notifications was the small pop up window that appears at the bottom of the screen. because it is off a wvga device the notification is too low for us to read it, so vga screen users only see the first line of text.

even tho i have problms with the udk rom, the keyboard, notifications and menu system are amazing.

i have been told to try your rom as it is one of the most stable, i hope you find my info helpful and do include the above mentioned stuff in an update!

take care

Hi Shaks, which kitchen do you use?

The reason I ask is no matter what I do (rip the OEM rom and just rebuild, yours, change it, dont change it) the final rom doesnt seem to run any of the provis xml files.

As im just opening and re-cooking im pretty sure its nothing im doing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djfuego:
Wooohoo!

Very good rom. stable with all apps I will use. Nice one!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Using Surface Kitchen. Just Placed my mxipupdate_oemoperators_108.provxml in the OperatorPkg folder. Don't need to edit any files or reference this provxml file anywhere.

Just make sure it is in valid xml format. Also I start from the original rom not a cooked rom.

I'm not looking to make any changes to Manila as I'm quite happy with it as it is for the moment.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
Hi Shaks,

This ROM is the fastest yet. Please don't change the Manila version to the HD as that has longer loading times, no speed increase (in fact it's less than the latest 2.00 Diamond ROM) and that one also sometimes manages to shut off TF3D and reload when you come back to Today Screen.

Thanks a lot...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mastabog:
Hey Shaks,

Much appreciated! If you plan to honor user requests regarding upgrade cabs then you have definitely won me over mate! I know I'm not the only one, but I have gotten so fed up with frequent rom flashing for (many times) minor updates ... upgrade cabs save so much time and hassle! Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Re: "HD stuff" I was actually wondering if you plan on looking into a blackstone port as I've read those (i.e. blackstone ports) actually move quicker than diamond ones. I do however appreciate your interest in stability over looks/features ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
I've tried two HD Manila ROMS, Lite and Full types, and can say that this is the fastest.

The only one thing that bothers me is there is a gaping memory leak in this ROM (which impacts on the battery somewhat as well). I came up with a few reasons but I've forgotten them atm *shock horror*:eek:.

Apart from that, it's near enough perfect in every way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
The lack of memory is likely down to the fact that this comes with a 16Mb pagepool as standard which I have not changed. Personally I find I'm not running out of memory however I may experiment with 8 or 12Mb pagepool in future roms however this is likely to impact on performance. Let me know what u think.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] defsquad:
Hey there Shaks, I am having the same problem, however there is no softkey for auto configuration in the settings > connections page.

Also, how does one switch it from 24hr to 12hr time?

Great rom btw. I need to learn how to cook my own so that I can shave off some more free ram.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Go to settings - connetions tab then select Connection Setup.

Click on the Menu Soft Key which is on the right and untick "Enable Auto Configuration"

Changing to 12hr time is done through regional settings. Set it to your country as it's currently set to UK
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] defsquad:
thanks shaks, that did the trick. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beaker656:
Just switched to your ROM from Duttys and have to say I really like it. Thanks Shaks, I find it very responsive, no issues so far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuumuun:
i'm in the process of installing your rom. looking forward to the slide to answer/ignore phone canvas! :cool:

personally i haven't noticed much impact on performance with different pagepool sizes in other roms, so i would vote for a lesser pagepool in favour of more program memory :)

regarding the gyrator/flip-it question you posted in the second post: i would say you don't include any tilting software and rather point out the different options so everyone can install what he/she likes. i have been using gyrator2 for a while now and am very satisfied with it.

final words:

thanks for taking time to cook us some roms! i will be trying them out.

(i'm a bit of a flash junkie :p )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tonybro:
So far looking really nice and flowing smoothly, Shaks! :-)

One of my favourites so far! ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
so is this actually a memory leak or just lack of free memory cos of pagepool?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
All of the diamond roms appear to leak some memory. Some people have found there is less leakage on the 1.93 hard-spl.

I'm personally finding memory leakage to be minimal even with MSVC installed which takes up quite alot of ram itself.

Obviously there is less free memory than some others due to the higher pagepool however this isn't bothering me too much. If there is enough demand I will look at 8Mb or 12Mb pagepools.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuke1:
I would love 12MB pagepool (8 will probably slow it down too much). Also, the memory leakage seems to be linked to the PhoneCanvas and TF3D for the most part, since disabling both (Adv. Config>PhoneSkin>Off and Settings>Today>Items>TF3D off) seems to lessen the usage of RAM, and it stays as such (at 41%). However having both activated seems to gradually bring mem. usage up to 65-70% for me. Lessening the pagepool however, would be the best way methinks.

Again, thanks a lot for this ROM, really love it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Htc86:
Flashed your Rom today and so far it is excellent, no issues at all...really smooth and snappy TF3D...I've changed PP to 12mb, and after some intensive use it sits on 62%...will test further, but so far so good!

Thanks Shaks, thumbs up!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
did u use the hex editor or pagepool changer?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Htc86:
Pagepool changer...the fastest way to change PP as far as I'm concerned :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nuumuun:
found a small bug. when the device is locked the volume buttons still work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
your in for a good rom that will stay with you for long as u dont change roms all the time , this is by far an Ace Rom, in our shaks History books so :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rick GM:
Has anyone else experienced a problem with GSen with this ROM or is it just me (or something else that is causing the problem and it's a coincedence that it has occurred after flashing)? GSen works fine but after opening / closing a few apps (haven't been able to pin down a specific culprit), it stops working. Exit Gsen and re open and all is well for a while. This didn't happen when I had the stock O2 ROM (1.93.206.6).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] konrad.schafers:
I must admit I absolutely love this ROM. Everything works perfect, fast and stable. I can install al my favourite apps and lots of good apps are already included.

Great work.

The only thing that is strange but not only in your Rom but in all that I've tried so far is that the contacts scrolling behaviour is really annoying. It is way too fast. When you don't have a thousand contacts it's really a pain as you keep on missing the entries you're looking for. On the other hand the slow scroll is also not very helpful as you either accidentally set of fast scroll or you never get to where you want.

For that reason I usually use the buttons or the sensitive pad. Does anyone else have this problem???

Is it possible to have the same behaviour in "All Contacts" as in "All Programs" from the Programs Tab in TF3D. That is beautifully done and scrolling is so easy. (Sometimes I just scroll in there for fun :D)

The Windows programs menu scrolling is also alright.

Please can anyone help me how to fix this? I have got Advanced Config but I am not quite sure what I need to chaneg there. Also is a scrolling value of 35 faster than 1 or slower???

Thanks in advance

And again This is the best Rom I've tried so far. And I've tried many :D The only ROM i would switch to is one that includes the new notifications app from TD2. Or TouchXperience, which is looking awesome. Anyways until then I've found The One. (isn't that what half the people in this forum are doing looking for that one ROM that rules them all :D)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] konrad.schafers:
double post sorry
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruskairabbit:
Just one issue - not sure if its been reported (big thread - I haven't read it all!)

I got an answering machine message (missed call) - but when I got back to my phone the symbol was at the top of the screen saying that the call was still active. I had the standard today screen up - and couldn't get to the phone screen at all. In the end I had to do a soft-reset :(

Also when checking my message after the soft-reset, the phone screen didn't appear (checking from today screen) - once again, I could not hang up, or get to the number keypad!

Using an Orange Diamond (DIAM100 I think)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
So you have decide to try the ROM I recommended (others too perhaps) :)

This is a good and stable ROM - I hope you enjoy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndyChecker:
I have had this issue in nearly all roms - I think panosha's was the last where I didn't so there must be a simple registry tweak t sort the scroll speed but I dpn't know it I'm afraid.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] livache:
I`m using your 3.20 release for some time by now..

"fortunately", i deeply dislike touch3d and i prefer to use your ROM with Spb as interface. working great, but i wonder if you could think to release a "manilla striped" version.. would be a nice add to your job ;)

and.. i installed the ICR from here:

look stable and it`s really usefull... could you take a closer look on that also? :D

Say no to TouchFlo

A no Tf3D version vote for me too :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rick GM:
Same here (especially when you can run PointUi Home 2)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
i still feel touchflo walks all over pointui. its far less power hungry and has many more features (especially if we get the diamond2 version). pointui might be one for the future but not for me at the moment
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lucasjohny:
to have a good contact scrolling use my reg, just copy it to your phone and open it with resco explorer or any others reg editor.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AndyChecker:
Thanks for this.

This seems to help a bit but only when I have the sound reg value set to 1 and not 0 - will play with it somemore.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rick GM:
With the continuing development of applets by the community over there, I don't agree that TFlo has more features, but hey, it's personal choice - Shaks and the other ROM chefs can't please everyone. I'm just grateful to them for sharing their hard work.

Looking for beta testers

Hi Guys

I am looking for upto 2 beta testers for the new build I am working on.

To qualify,

1. You must be willing to possibly test a few builds meaning possible regular flashing.

2. You need to be a user of Shaks 3.10 or 3.20 roms so you can compare performance & stability against that as that is the benchmark.

3. You must be active on this thread. I will consider you if you are active on the forums.

Please PM me if you wish to apply. I will decide who gets chosen depending on your experience of roms & participation on this forum/thread.

The reason I am following this path this time is to ensure the next release is as stable and performs as well as the last rom whilst bringing new features from topaz.

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ycimpir:
PM

I sent PM :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Gman25:
PM

I'm Ready Sir...:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the PM's

I will decide who to pick in a few days time when I decide I have implemented everything I need into the rom. In the meantime I am still accepting PM's for beta testing requests.

As part of the new rom should I use the new topaz icons or not?

Also how about the new sensor sdk and if so should it be set to rotate in most programs?

I am using most of the useful topaz software except for notification manager as it is not 100% yet. When it is I will definitely consider using it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
just want to give you my vote of confidence shaks. i think you have a very good approach to releasing your roms, far better than these half complete releases people keep putting out.

i quite like the look of the new icons but not too bothered either way. as for rotate, its not something i use apart from opera where some pages are better horizontal.

biggest thing for me is probably new finger friendly menus and also the new diamond2 manilla (although i can see that being buggy for some time).

thanks for listening :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
