boris03, I would love to help you here however this would mean replacing the whole canvas or a big cab file with a new canvas as the 2.03 base is based on a new version of the phone canvas. Check the main diamond forums, they may be a cab canvas replacement out already.

AndyChecker, have you ever noticed this issue on other roms? I personally have had this on all roms on the diamond & also on my previous WM devices as well however not experienced this on this rom myself. I would say this is just a WM/HTC bug in general.

timattwood, cab for this is available here:

http://diamond.geg0r.de/Shaks/Shaks.P Disable Phone Lock Shade.cab

Nick66, sorry never tried operamini. Maybe the issue is due to the version of java (original version from 2.03) included with this in which case may be worth searching the forum for other versions of java.

thefath, good to see your experienced feedback. Are you on v3.10 or v3.20 as your sig says 3.10. I found UC poor in 3.10 but 3.20 is perfect for UC. I never though of your trick of editing the cab to force to internal storage. I'll try that on coreplayer.

Also been looking at stats of the downloads of this rom on bl0w's server and it's doing very well cmpared to the big boys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Just out of interest anybody find the new device lock setting app useful?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] whitefalcon:
The idea is gud shaks but i don't really use it much cause out of habit I always click on the power button to suspend it and then I prefer to lock it manually when the time is required by pressing the end key....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aaronneal:
i am enjoying your 3.20 release a lot.

however, for some reason both the phone styled keyboard and compact keyboard wont type letters (they used too), they only insert the corresponding number. i have soft reset, changed between keyboards, tried installing keyboards again with the HD keyboards found elsewhere, nothing seems to work!

is there any solution to this or must i try a new rom or hard spl???

regards

Aaron
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Very strange. I'll test and get back to you. Not heard of anybody else with this problem so maybe a one off. I've mad no changes to the keyboard either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aaronneal:
would there be a registry that i could change to make it back to default letters or something?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aaronneal:
what hard spl should i be using mayb that could cause issues???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Just tested both keyboards and they correctly insert characters as normal unless it is a number input box. There must be some settings that have changed somewhere on you phone or maybe a bad flash (unlikely)

I would recommend you try a hard reset or maybe a reflash of the rom (try internal storage method if you haven't)

The hardspl is unlikely to make any difference to this however I recommend 1.93 - solved some issues I had with previous roms.

I don't believe this is a rom issue, more likely a local issue.

Let us know how you get on.

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aaronneal:
internal storage method? what would this be?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] m00moo:
i dont use this personally. Instead i use UC to delete the folder lol im thinking that maybe in the next release to not include googlemaps as i think people can decide to install this themselves via UC pretty easily now. :)

love your roms btw! as another mentioned i only need this one ROM for my phone! thanks :)

sms

i have been using your 3.2 rom for about a week, and has been excellent, one of the best I have tried!

however, for about 24 hours now, i cannot receive any texts messages, i can send them though. can anyone please help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

I wonder if it's an issue at your mobile provider/mast? Can anybody else on the same network in the same area receive text messages? What error messages do you get if you send a text to yourself. Have you soft reset or even hard reset maybe? Check your text message settings for service center to ensure the correct number is set (this can be found under settings-phone-services-Voice Mail and Text Messages. This number is unique to your provider. It's unlikely this is a rom issue but maybe one of these wierd windows mobile bugs that affect every rom from time to time.

Hello shaks1979 I'm gone flash my diamond , tell me you gone release some ROM briefly???

Thanks for your great job in this ROMS :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] guythomaz:
What do you miss, that you need another ROM? Performance? Newer applications? Newer drivers? Or what? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmcfaria:
Happen the same with me. I think is a problem with the Java software.

I dont have any solution for that, when happen this i simple close the opera then i open again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

Sorry I have no plans for another release at the moment as the rom is stable, fast and has everything I want in it already and has working UC. I don't see any real benifits of the newer cores or apps.

I could chase after benchmark figures and alot more storage space however I see doing both pointless as 1. the rom performs well enough as it is and 2. 5-10Mb storage space isn't a big deal when we have 4Gb internal memory. I only ever use around 30Mb of my storage space anyway.

If there is a good enough reason for another rom than I most definitely will release a new one.

Liam

Good to hear that the rom is perfect for you! Appreciate the feedback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] akil3x:
Thank you for the answer ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Suprisingly quiet in here considering the number of downloads!!!!

I'm assuming nobody has issues!

OOPS just noticed link for 3.20 pointed to 3.10 folder!! Fixed it. No wonder had so many more downloads of 3.10 instead of 3.20

How to check you definitely are on 3.20 not 3.10, If you have a device lock settings application (not a folder) in the system tools folder then you are on 3.20
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
youre right, its a good thing that theres not many posts. have you heard of any improvements that might be on their way? slide to answer was a big thing for me although i find its not as responsive as i'd hoped. feels a bit laggy when you first try to slide.

thinking about it; i find the whole dialer a bit slow but love the functionality so cant get rid.

thoughts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] widemouth31:
Hi Guys, hope you can assist.

I am trying to flash SHAKS 3.20 ROM from the latest Dutty's but I cant seem to get it to work.

The Flash works OK but when the device starts up it is EXTREMLY slow. ie. the screen alignment works but it takes up to 10 seconds for the cross hair to move to the next location. It took over an hour to install apps and then after restart, TouchFlo wont start after a very long boot process and the phone is then frozen.

Tried Hard Reset a few times but it doesn't fix it. Changed to Olinex hardSPL from the 1.24 unsigned SPL but no difference.

I retreated back to Dutty's latest ROM and its back working again.

Any Ideas why it would be running so slow after flashing?

Radio I am running is 1.25.05

Thanks in advance,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
that's very strange widemouth31, mine takes 15 to do everything, not one hour :S does that happens with other 2.03 ROM's as well? have you tried _NOT_ using UC to see if that's the problem?

btw Shaks i've managed to run Flash with your ROM... check this out:

Good to hear you managed to get it downloaded. Merry Xmas
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thafath:
Works Perfectly

Thank you for the great Rom, One of the best I have used in the few last weeks. Everything working fine here. No more flashing!

I noticed that lot of the Roms that I have tried have issues with

- the drop down list in the spb Mobile Shell (this one no problem).

- getting some programs (PocketToolman, SeaSGEE, RealOne Player, Pocket Islam, AiroMap, ...) to run correctly in VGA mode. (this one no problem).

- ActivSync running in the background (not tested yet, will update this post later).

- no sound with Alarms only the notification (not tested yet, will update this post later).

Thank you very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for your feedback. You will find activesync runs in the background on this one as this is the default behaviour which I have not changed. eLias AsyncKiller will deal with this for you if you find it an issue. I use exchange servers so don't bother killing Async.

I've always found the alarm on WM to be unreliable so never use it.

Good to hear this doesn't suffer from issues that others do. Probably as it using the older XIP/SYS which is stable and performs well enough for me not to bother changing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] castorgris:
Using this rom for 24h now. It's the most stable and fastest rom i ever use.

Work great with Orange fr network.

Thankssss
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dannyoneill:
Hi Shaks, im currently learning how to build a rom by looking what others have done. How did you set your customizations? You dont seem to have modified the provision xml files and I cant find any cabs. I notice some people use mort scripts but want to avoid that.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Ta
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RoozbehDream:
fast Rom,,,,very stable...thanks man...that was greate

just 2 suggestions:

1) can you cook a light version too for the next realease?

can you use connection setup cab from newer builds? in sutty 3.6 connection setup recogniexed My phone service in Iran.., but in your ROm it is not.

thanks again man..Good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I added my own provision xml file (ending in 108) in the operator_pkg folder. I wanted to add my tweaks in using one file so I could port that to other roms without modifying the original ones - makes it quicker for me to make new roms from a new base

New Version with Slide to Answer from HTC

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

Great ROM!

I moved away from Dutty's ROMs as the release cycle was too short (too frequent releases) with no upgrade CABs and I was tired of flashing. It would be really great if the chefs provided an upgrade CAB so that people don't have to reflash, reinstall programs and reconfigure their device. Would you please consider this for your ROM? Is it possible for v2.20? I quite like your work.

Cheers

p.s. Are you considering implementing the HD stuff (manila, keyboard etc)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

The only changes to this rom is the phone slide to answer + vjdevicelock

Cabs for this are attached below.

I will attempt to release cabs where feasible or requested however can't always promise to do so.

I'm currently not planning to incorporate the hd keyboard as I like the new diamond one as it scrolls the page properly.

I probably will not make any changes to Manila as it's running well currently.

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
The only change I expect to make to this rom in the near future are as follows:

I'm working on a new control panel applet for changing sms settings so we don't have to use schapps tools

e.g classic/threaded + wakeonsms + sent notifications + delivery notifications all set from one control panel.

I am also hoping to make a control panel option for the windows device lock so I can get rid off the seperate cabs/exes currently used for setting autodevicelock and locking the device on suspend.

I may also add gyrator to the the rom as I find it works well. I'd love peoples feedback on this.

Also what's the communities experience of ring delay with this device/rom? I find ring delay is alot less however may experience with converting ringtones to wav from wma as they seem to have less delay. Any input on this is much appreciated

I could also do with some help with the control panels as I'm not much of a coder. My experience of coding is from 10 years ago. PM me and I'll let you know what I need with .net examples and program structure.

Regards

Hi Shaks, great work! Well speaking of cabs. Do u have a cab for ;

Phone Canvas with transparent look shade from pistonripper ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gandalf69:
Would be great to have this transparent shade as a CAB

If someone could post the Phone Canvas with transparent look shade from pistonripper as a separate CAB or point us to the good thread where we can download it from then that would be great.

Have been searching for half an hour now with different keywords but never got to find it anywhere!!

All help would be appreciated.

Thanx.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Available on pistonrippers thread but not as a cab. Replace the file in the \windows directory

Brilliant- Highly recommended ROM

After switcing from one ROM to another i've come across this gem, I won't be changing anymore !!. Its very stable, and the best bit was i didn't need to play about with the registry- its just the way i like it. Thanks Shaks P, keep up the gud work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickylew:
Been using this for nearly a week now, and its still the best rom ive used yet.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] widemouth31:
Strange indeed!. I am now, and have been using the latest Duttys which is based on the 2.03 ROM with no problems. Have no UC config file on the internal storage.

Maybe radio is stuck in some sort of loop trying to register which is grinding up the processor. I did notice that the phone was heating up and battery was heavily used, I had to have it plugged in.

am on Telstra in Australia.

I have one for you shaks. i'm pretty new too this but so far no hic-ups. all seems to be running fine but when opening the hotmail link (off t-mobile uk home page) oprea seems to crash have noted this on a few other sites too but cannot remember which ones? Other than that it's running a lot quicker than the standard t-mobile one i had before. Thank you!

However, every now and then my time changes randomly, and i need to do a soft reset for the time to be correct, this is very annoying, anyway i can stop this happening?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PeteT:
Hi shaks

I have tried most ROM's available here. I now keep coming back to yours. It is exactly how i would like my own ROM to be if i knew how to create one. The only modification i make is to stop the keyboard from automatically appearing when there is text entry due.

Many Thanks

Why would you want to do that

Device Lock

Has anyone had any problem locking their device on this ROM?:confused:

My device does not lock, when I setup to lock automatically it goes to "my info" screen. When I also hold-in the cut off button for few seconds it also goes to "my info" page.:mad:

This ROM is very good, it is close to the original however it is faster and very stable, I have been using it for a while now and seems very good
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruipgouveia:
very nice rom thanks.

UC - if i copy my all original regist, transfor to a xml file, and put in "config.txt", have i go any problems?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I would never copy and restore the whole registry. Only do the settings you want to implement as you could change alot of settings that should change.

I have two devices (one for me & one for my wife)

I set the device to lock on suspend using my app & my wife uses the built in password lock & both lock perfectly manually and normally.

No other reported issues with the locks.

The normal lock will not work on this WM build if password lock has been enabled. So please check password lock disabled in the control panel.

Also disable the my info showing by going to control panel - owner information then options tab. The my info screen is not enabled in the rom at all so you may have set that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] D8LOM:
Shaks1979, thank you for your help.:)

I've disable my password protection completely, my info screen and now it's working. I use ms exchange for my work e-mail which forces password protection but I've always been using Zenyee's app stay unlock for two hours (incase it gets lost/stolen) which I disabled now.

Is there now way of using the ms exchane server password/PIN every 4, 12 or 24 hours?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] D8LOM:
Shaks,

I figured out it's my ms exchange server password that distracts the device lock and "my info" screen still works fine...is it a problem if I leave it on?:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
It should be fine. I thought you didn't originally want the info screen. As long as you don't have both locks vying for control your OK. The device lock "bug" is something that came into these builds from MS and is not in other WM builds.
