Vodafone volume control doesn't work properly

Hi Shaks,

still the perfect ROM but there is one issue which I had with another ROM using the Vodafone volume control too.

In A2DP mode volume control doesn't work anymore. Means, if I connected my phone via A2DP/Bluetooth with my stereo, I can't control the volume with the phone. I have to use the stereo's volume control. Works usually with all ROMs except those which are using Vodafone's volume control.

Edit: Think AVRCP (BT-Profile to control the A2DP devices, play, skip, volume, etc.) isn't implemented.

Kind regards,

mc

@ shaks1979 just wondering what radio u using with ur rom i cant seeem to find wut the pagepool is at on this rom is it 12mb
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
not a problem......love the rom

if you need me ,im just a pm away

all the best to you for the new year!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
That's the second bug with the voda volume control now. The first is that it's not locked when the screen is locked.

There are two alternatives.

1. Use the original diamond volume control which came with this rom. I'll try to cab this up later on however back to work now till 1am. This has no bugs that I am aware of however it does not look as good with the hidden text on tabs.

2. Use a rapheal volume control however I am loath to do that as it is the root cause of all the landscape bugs in opera, gsen & gnes in my experience. As soon as this is nstalled the landscape bug appears after a while on any rom and rotating to landscape kicks you back to the homescreen wether in opera or gsen/gnes. Try experimenting with this using some of the raphael volume control cabs available.

3. Find another raphael type volume control without the landscape bug.

To me it looks like I'll be returning to the diamond volume control as it does not have the above bugs. Let me know what you people would prefer.

I have no radio packaged with the rom. Personally I use 1.09.25.23 however everybody has a different preference depending on operator/country. The pagepool on this is 16mb however I don't find this an issue as long as you install the cab to close opera properly.

Hi everyone,

Been lurking around here lately, finally built enough courage to try a new rom out as the standard htc rom is ****.

First of all, i'm well impressed, phone seems much smoother, well done to the chef!

I do have a query, i clicked on the link on the 2nd post which said version2.20 when downloading, but in my device info tab it shows version 2.00.421.1 wwe (do I have the latest version)?

The other thing that freaked me out was I installed this around 22:00 last night and in the morning around 08:00 i recieved a call from HTC Taiwan, the lady asked me about a warranty repair I had done on my handset 4 months ago (screen replacement) "was it done under warranty or was it chargeable", obviously i said it was under warranty, and she said "fine! thank you for your time"

I kinda got a little nervous that somehow they know that i've replaced their rom and in return they might have void my warranty, or was it just pure coincidence and it was just a normal call to update their records?

Anyone else had this?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
The rom says 2.00.421.1 as this is the htc rom it is based on. I believe there is no reason HTC would know remotely that you have changed your rom. Probably just a normal call.

more calculator trouble

So my installation of rondol1 calculator told me that I needed to uninstall the existing skin first and then it complained installation unsuccesful again.... :-(

Then powered of my device and tried to boot it and now get this screen:

<<black screen>>

The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. Press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.

This operation will delete all yur personal data and restore the device to its factory defaults settings.

Hmmm never saw this crap before.. damn it seems locked :-( where is that SEND button ????

UPDATE: For the first time in my experience of 5 years of HTC firmware updating I hit this situation that its behaing weird...: reset: customising my device twice now..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
rondol1 calculator installed fine for me however there is no shortcut in the cab so the shortcut still takes you to htc calulator and you have to manually create a shortcut to calculator.exe in the windows folder.

I just installed it - I'm assuming it complains about the skin because the previous one installed partially maybe.

The error you are getting is usually caused by something corrupt on your phone memory - running mtty generally fixes it properly.

see here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=490182&highlight=fix+strange+problem

This problem is highly unlikely to have been caused by the rom. You could always try flashing a stock and back again.

You should still be able to get into bootloader mode unless something is wrong with your hardspl.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] A2Z:
Thanks for your reponse. Did a cold reset and afer two customisation cycles my device came back. Date on 1980 though which is odd.

Calculator works now but it did scare the hell out me that this can happen.

I also have olinex 1.40 and spot also a but sluggish response, wonder if I should upgrade to 1.93 but I doubt if that would have an impact on speed..??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Date on 1980 definitely points to a bad flash. Date should be 17/04/09 I would suggest running mtty or atleast reflashing. A bad flash will cause slow performance as well as other strange issues.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] A2Z:
Yep now TF3D is looping.. I will reflash again and let you know how things work out.

Thanks for the rapid response!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Not a problel. If you still have issues then definitely follow the link I have posted for running mtty as this is like cleaning your memory up and fixes lots of issues. Definitely device related however.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boris03:
Is it easy to change the language?

Hi Shaks,

Just a question about other languages. What do I need to do for changing the language for your ROM? Is it a hell of a job or easy possible?

Thanks,

boris03
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
You need to cook the rom in the language you require - I beleive this cannot be done after. Won't be possible with this rom however.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PC400:
Shaks, will leave when a new version of your rom?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
I did, couldn't get it to work but I have had another dig around the net and get it working got this type of message on five blocks so I guess I'm buggered:

ERASE block 1455 FAIL

Going to try and re SPL it and load the official rom then yours - failing that then I'll just have to send it back and hope for the best.

:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Ooh that doesn't look good. However that won't be caused by the rom. If you do flash my rom again, ensure you do a fresh download in case of a corrupt download. If you need to send it back, ensure it has stock spl & rom on it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] A2Z:
Did a reflash and cold reset and now things seem to be more stable and fasssst.

evaluating it now for some days, but looking good so far!

thanks again, if its works well I will definitely do a donation

damn installed the calculator and stopwatch 2x active sync connection and it locked up again. Too bad ....I thought you stated it was built for stability but cannot confirm with my experience.

I am going back to Christonge CT 6.4 :-(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I don't see any need for an upgrade at the moment as this rom is pretty much bug free.

erricson68 & a2z's issues are not rom related but device memory/bad flash related which are not caused by the rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Rom is stable for 99% of people using it on this and other forums. I suspect there is something going wrong during flashing, maybe bad blocks on your device?

No issues with stability here and lots of programs tested.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
hope we stay away from flashing for a long time like we did with shaks 3.20 rom :) thanx for a bug free Diamond shaks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
No I didn't think it was good either. But I battled on and have used the mtty,reflashed my spl, stock rom then yours and fingers crossed I've managed to bypass the bad sectors now.

I've got a couple months warranty yet so will play it by ear.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:
Hey shaks nice ROM, finally a 21042 ROM that works well with the Diamond, the Diamond EZInput is one of the best thought out additions to this ROM (been waiting for this for a while), The Rhodium keyboard was always buggy and slow...well done on a sorted ROM...the Topaz Sensor2 also works a treat with is ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
thanks for the feedback. This rom does look that way. No bugs that have become obvious yet and it's been out for 3 full days and had 1200 downloads from bl0w's mirror alone so all looks good. Hopefully won't need to build again for a while
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for the feedback pistonripper. Also thanks for the fantastic transparent curtain.

Would you believe it was your 2.00 rom that got me cooking and you helped me set weather to the UK on my rom back in my early days in december!

Always credited you for the curtain and the uk weather setting since my first rom.

:):)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The Jones:
I am enjoying using the ROM, but I have found one issue. May not be related to ROM as I am running the Manila 2 VGA port.

The font on the volume control is very very large. Way too large for the area allocated to the text in fact. Anyone got any idea how to fix this?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Have you changed the volume control? This normally happens when you change the volume control.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pistonripper:
You're an A1 chef...very stable and swift ROM, there is no point me cooking, you're doing a grand job.

Try the Touch Incall Screen Tweaker instead of the curtain, it actually works like the iphone proximity sensor (one of the few thing I like about the iphone)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Just looked at it, looks good however one issue (without testing yet)

It's still going through lots of development so no point cooking in till then as I'll keep getting asked for updates for it! (like cleanram had to remove that due to too many updates.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ariel0103:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lucasjohny:
with internal or usb flash please make sure your battery is above 50%, I also encounter such problem but I know I flash my device when battery at 35%, so just use mtty to reformat your ROM. and flassh it again, o by the way battery also must above 50% to use MTTY for reformatting. Hope to solve your problem....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I think he's managed to fix it according to his last post on here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3668302&postcount=1196

On a previous post he mentioned mtty had bad blocks. Since then he's done mtty, reflashed hard spl, a stock rom then back to this. Hopefully all OK now.

change manilla

grate rom shaks! the best of them all!

i looked in the fac and found answer to my question thats why i edited
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] handfish:
Thanks shaks for the new rom.

Since updating to 4.1 full topaz keyboard version, activesync will occasionally kill itself when a connection is made to Vista. I mean, in the first few minutes or few hours may be connected and sync'ed fine, but suddenly the "two arrows" icon on the taskbar would disappear (change backup to either E or H) and synchronization will then fail, although I can still see the phone icon in "My Computer" and can still open the drives (both / and Internal storage) from Vista. "Pocket Controller" still works as well. Just can't sync outlook and files.

Why is this happening? Is activesync on the phone failing? The only way is to unplug the phone, wait for a undefined long period (~30 mins I guess) and then reconnect. Sometimes this still doesn't work and need a reset. Very strange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The Jones:
I havent touched the volume control. Is it worth installing a cab with a new volume control - either Topaz or the Rhodium one - to see what happens?

Its no biggie, but I do like perfection :)

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
i have the problem of the icons changing as well, and it's there with just about all the icons i've tried - but my sync still works. i'm on XP though using activesync... the icon on diamond changes but it does the auto sync... since you've said it appears on your computer - i think the problem for you is also only related to icons...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
i don't have the vol. control issue... did you install a theme or any change of icons like battery, etc.? sometimes that effects it too... do try a hard-reset once again :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] slovoflud:
me too! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] basserr:
said this yesterday, but did a soft reset and now i'm really enjoying your ROM Shaks! Works like a charm, very fast and responsive! Thanks again =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] The Jones:
Ahh yes of coure, I am being stupid. I did install a pack of icons for my task bar! I will try installing a new volume control otherwise I will just leave it.

Thanks for the prompt!

Installing the Rhodium volume control solved the issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
hotfixes from HTC

i just bumped onto these two hot fixes from HTC

i think Shaks already incorporated the music fix, but here are the two incase anyone needs them:

for greyed out Repeat for Reminders: http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=0&dl_id=539

for audio skip: http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=0&dl_id=538

i can guarantee the "Repeat" one works, haven't tried the audio skip :)

good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] handfish:
Um... every time when the "two arrows" icon disappears, synchronization will either fail or keep sync'ing permanently (but apparently no data is actually sync'ed). I am using Vista.

Is there a way to solve this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mobilkungen78:

have you made any rom´s for raphael (touch pro)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dingil:
Can I disable ShutXP?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] albert_betet:
I think for now I will stick to this rom;)

the TF3d is quick enough and the rom itself stable enough for cooked rom:)

but i think there is inaccuracy about batt life percentage program

when i sync or internet sharing with my laptop,after a few hours it display(4 example) 65%

but after i reset the device,it will display higher percentage(like 85%)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
Yea I seem to be getting on much better now, no hard resets so far and I was getting about one an hour before. I gather that the memory is healed if you do things in a particular way, and I think they're Samsung chips aren't they which are pretty good for that sort of thing.

On a plus point this is the FIRST time with a cooked Rom that I have seen my battery even get to and then stay at 100% for a sensible amount of time.

I don't plan on any more tinkering - even with Manilla 2 as the 'hoo-haa' that HTC have created about social integration just doesn't come to fruition once you use it.

Anyways, thanks for the help and I'll keep my eye on the thread if I can help out anyone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
Thanks for the heads up. I find the audio tres pants on the Diamond so won't bother with that but the repeat does bother me so will have a go.

Flashed my diamond with this rom. Kept rebooting in de wm boot screen. Not sure why. Now I've changed roms pool size with the tool to 12mb and placed obilex hardspl on the phone since it was recommend .... it's booting first time while i'm typing this ....

Din't flashed my phone for a loooong time. Was running Swift 7.3 with olinex 1.93 hardspl. Worked like a charm and using swift's roms since version 3.

First thing I did was just flashing my phone with shaks 4.10. No problems while flashing. But after the phone's boot splash the windows splash comes up and the phone resets ..... this keeps happening.

Tought why not put on the recommend hardspl (boink got a reading issue alrady had the recommend hardspl), this is what I did;

1. Placed phone in the loader menu.

2. flashed phone with swift's 7.5, phone boots normal again.

3. flashed phone with OliNEX 1.40 (oeps got a reading problem) anyway, again no problems.

4. flashed shaks 4.10 again, no problem with flashing

5. boot problem remains, phone resets during wm boot.

quick question - what are the implications of using 1.4 olinex VS 1.93?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
This is what I was getting either on reboot or during use. check your phone using the mtty tool (you'll need to find version 1.42) and if using Vista I suggest this thread:

I found corrupt flash blocks and after running task 29 and reloading HSPL, stock rom then shaks rom all has been good so far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] albert_betet:
IMO

the best path to flash the cooked rom is to flash with the stock first:D

and after that do hard reset like usual:)

I'll try and get this cabbed up either tonight or tomorrow. I also have a tachi version now so may use that instead as it's native vga. Will add my tweaks to it and add the volume control setting app that I have created for it.

to Shaks ,

Good job on v4. however , several users in our Persian forum complain of bad GPS fix and long waiting times . no significant change from the already present GPS lag , but it does not get the fix. since almost every user has only the option of Garmin , we have the most problem with it. but i already tried Pathaway , same problem.

have you received similar complaints?

again , thanks for the great job , my Diamond has be revitalized.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rick GM:
I much perfer the seperate System and Ring Volumes and was using tsowen taskbar application which in addition to its primary function of changing taskbar icons also provided dual volume. However, using the volume application locked my device 4 out of 5 times necessitating a soft reset each time. Just installed "tachi" and it works perfectly without the lock up issue. Excellent.
