[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cacacho:
This is my first post. I have been lurking here for a while, and I wanted to congratulate you on this ROM, for its speed and stability are very nice. I have spent nearly two years using SwiftBlade's ROMs, because of speed and stability (Since I had the Elfin,as a matter of fact), and this rom has managed to stay on my Diamond for 24 hours longer than any of the others I tried. Battery life is much improved, and it feels snappy. Great work with the system tools included.

That said, I would like to let you know that not everything is 100% perfect:

I've found that the ROM still leaves the ActiveSync application running, and this is taxing on battery life and program memory. I realize there are many fixes out there (I use an async killer), but it would be convenient to not have to battle with Active Sync.

I live in Costa Rica, and radio 1.08.25.20 is terrible here (for whatever reason), so I flashed 1.08.25.08 and everything is back to normal. Perhaps the radio should be an optional item?

I personally preferred having the contacts soft button on the lower left corner of the main screen, but that's my cup of tea. I can just as easily hit the phone button and launch contacts from there.

I had to install Google Maps, flash and pocket RAR, because they were missing. It was fairly simple to scan the forum and look for the cabs, but again it would have been convenient to have them in from the get go.

As another user mentioned, the touchscreen soft buttons do not allow for call pickup.

I really appreciate your work, please accept my sincere thanks for breathing new life into my device; I hope my comments help. I will post again if I find anything else.

Shaks,

Great rom! very snappy and stable. Memory leakage is minimal.

I couldnt get Toms Reset manager app working. i have done a hard reset and still when you try and schedule it, just doesnt work. An error pops up "cannot execute \windows\reset.exe"

any help is appreciated
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi.

Thanks for your feedback. Good to know the rom is quicker and stable

I personally have never bothered with async killer or other similar programs as I use anexchange server, however I will look into cooking this in

There is no radio cooked into this rom at all so I'm not sure why u had 1.08.25.20 installed.

Also pocket rar is cooked in already. I have not bothered with flash as it is buggy and slow so preferred to leave it out ala most cooks. I didn't realise google maps was missing. I will cook this into the next release

Thanks for your feedback. It is much appreciated and helps in perfecting this rom. P.S the touchscreen being disabled is a feature however I will disable this as standard on the next release. It is easily disabled using answerkeysdisabler in system tools
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I'll look into this. It looks like it's not working when scheduled on mine either. It soft reset's ok manually through the app however it does not when scheduled.

Operator not in database

Every time I reboot I get an error message telling me that my operator can not be found in the database and wants to take me to the settings page. This is even after I have set up the data connection and it is working. I use AT&T. How can I disable the message.?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
GO into connection setup under control panel - connections. The left softkey has an option to enable auto configuration. Untick this option.

This appears to be an issue with the database for connection setup. I have not seen this issue on anybody elses network yet.

Uploaded New Version

Changelog v2.10

Removed AnswerKeys Disabler as it wouldn't properly disable. This is available as a cab in other posts if required

Removed Flip-It as it is too sensitive and rotates all the time. Also the Sensor SDK is an older version. I may add gyrator on the next rom as it appears to be not as sensitive and has configuration options for fine tuning the angles.

Added Google Maps 2.2.0.20

Fixed Toms Reset Manager

I have not added asynckiller as per some requests. This can always be installed afterwards. Peoples needs for Activesync are different so I would like to keeps this as standard behaviour and leave it to the End User to decide how they wish to deal with this if they find it an issue. I believe most other cooks don't include this either. This can also cause other issues which I would like to avoid.

I can't seem to replicate this issue and nobody else is reporting a problem. Rapidshare is showing many downloads of this cab file.

The problem may be related to your pc/router or firewall or even your isp. I had a router once which would stop most downloads at 99%. Trying another router fixed the issue. Do you have access to anybody elses computer/internet connection to try to download from?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kinky-chinky:
If no other reports, must be my end.

No worries. Not a major issue not having MSVC for me. Though does seem odd I can download other things off rapidshare no problems.

Keep up the good work Shaks

Have a Merry Xmas and a break from this good work your doing for our Touch Diamonds.

Well after a couple more attempts after reseting router the download came through fine. Thanks to all those who offered assistance. Greatly appreciated.

SO its sadly a prob with your connection.

Hope it will perhaps work if you will reset your router.

PS I'm also finding some cabs get stuck in a loop during install via UC. I've been testing with a tomtom 7.910 cab. This works OK sometimes.

XML files always work properly

This behaviour is not just on my rom. I flashed dutty's latest & dia duit & had the same problem so it's not down to the rom however I think it's the connection setup which is waiting in the background for input fighting with UC to take control.

I'm investigating this at the moment however as all roms I tried are experiencing this I'm not sure how I'm going to get on.

I'm trying to experiment with not having connection setup load at the customization but only after it resets as this seems to cause the issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Sorry can't help you much with that as I only run vanilla manila - I'm more than happy with it as it is (except for changing the wallpaper on the home tab)

You don't need to reflash to restore manila. Uninstalling the cabs should fix it and if not a hard reset will also cure it but a reflash is probably a little more extreme.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Just tested putting any cabs that were failing between HIDE:Enable & HIDE:Disabled & now they install perfectly. Only thing that happens is while they are installing it minimises the customisation screen & loads up touchflo without the softkey buttons and the taskbar is disabled. Just wait for it to go back to the customisation screen as the programs are installing in the background.

Hi shaks great rom thanks best one to date.

What radio is best to run with this rom???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nunomax:
Data connections

Hi

I've experienced something strange with 3.10.

When I have data connection on, and make or receive a call, the data connection will turn off during the call and try to reconnect after end call.

I do not recall to have this behavior on previous versions.

Txs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] guythomaz:
Thx, i know that the problem is related to the .cabs and not to your ROM. Dont worry :-)

Anyway, can u explain more exactly, what u mean with: "Just tested putting any cabs that were failing between HIDE:Enable & HIDE:Disabled & now they install perfectly". Thx.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
just flashed today and very impressed, thank you.

ive installed touchflo3d config because i dont use all the tabs but apart from that spot on for me

http://xdaforums.com/show...0&postcount=19

If you look at link I posted a couple of posts ago, you need to put the lines for the cab files that don't install between HIDE:Enabled & HIDE:Disabled

I run 1.09.25.23 which came with the standard 2.03 rom. However different roms work better with different networks so It's up to you what u use.

GPRS and phone calls cannot run concurrently on any rom/phone. Only 3g/HSDPA can run concurrently which is why ony any rom & phone if you are transferring data you will find your line is busy if you call it. I've tried this on nokias & iphones. If the gprs session is not transferring data but is connected then you can receive calls.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nunomax:
Yes m8 I know that, but what is happening on this specific version 3.1 is that the connection disconnects when I receive a call. This behavior is different from the other versions (including your 2.x). On past versions, when I receive a call it simple stops data transfer but did not disconnect. It's not a big issue, but it is strange that only happens with this one.

Since I use a VPN to connect to my company infrastructure, it sometimes timesout due to this.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Sorry, not come across this and I haven't made any changes that should affect this except for the GPRS connection is supposed to disconnect after a few minutes of data transfer. Maybe worth checking the settings in GB Soft GPRS Tweak and set the connection to stay active in there unless you already have tried that. Did you try any other 2.03 roms including standard? Maybe it's something that's part of the base ROM. How about on v3.00?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Good to hear you like it. You can also remove tabs through Advance Config
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nunomax:
just tested 3.00 and the behavior is the same - disconnects. I am going now to flash the base 2.03 to check it. probably it is a problem on the base. Since I was using your 2.30 I did not found it until now. I'll report later on.

Txs

EDIT:

Tried your suggestion and it worked. GPRS always on with GPRS Tweak !! well did not came across until you mention it. btw only happens on 2.03 derived ROMS.

Txs a lot for you help. ROM 3.1 is great, stable and fast.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thafath:
Flashed V3.10, everything working fine.

I flashed today the V3.10, and everything is fine thank you Shaks.

- TrackeMe works fine.

- I updated Tomtom and is working fine now.

- I could not reproduce the issues I had with some programs not working correctly in VGA, I'm sure there is something interfering with some others programs/settings I 'm using.

I'm happy with this version, no more flashing.

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Good news that you got it working. I set gprs to switch off on all my roms and it sometimes switches off straight after an app using the internet exits so maybe something to do with that however as you've got it working as you need then no need to worry about it.

Excellent News. This rom appears 100% bug free!

I wasn't going to bother updating SQLCE to 3.5 as you were only the second person to post that you were using an app that required. However I'm glad I did as it the rom is now 100% complete in terms of main apps. All I'd like now is a proper control panel for controlling the wm device lock & a control panel for setting the following sms settings:threaded sms/wakeonsms/smssentnotification/deliveryreceipts. If anybody can help me with this please let me know asap.

I don't think I'm going to need to make any changes to this rom for a while unless I can get the following apps. I may make some changes to UC so it does not also run the connection setup which is running while uc runs. If anybody has a fix for this let me know (I know this happens in all uc roms and is not really any problem)

Thanks for your support everybody.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robinbb:
Hi there Shaks

Might the control panel also allow us to put PIE as the default browser? Achieving this has been a nightmare for me but I continue to Search and Google for the definitive answer!

LOVE the current ROM!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Possibly however I am not a programmer so I'm struggling to create the apps I need. I am really only trying to create apps for settings that should already be there.

I'm not sure what's needed to set google as default. I'm sure I've seen some posts on this.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] king_dani:
does anyone could suggest a humanly possible way of hard resetting? since pushing 3 buttons and fingering a tiny hole and not eliciting a pxshut program is unbelievable

Edit: i have found that the weird icon in xpshut does hard reset , however , that didn't feel like a hard reset . nothing started over , i didn't ask for time and date ,not evening connection wizard started to bother again

Edit 2 : Clear Storage does the job
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] funkys:
Hard Reset

Hard Reset Recipe:

Push with the Stylus the Soft reset button, then you can just drop the Stylus, because you don;t need it anymore. Then your screen will go blind. Then using just 2 fingers push DOWN Volume and the Center Wheel button and hold for 1-2 seconds. But you must push this 2 buttons within 3 seconds after Soft Reseting your phone.

Coming from Panosha full this seems to tick all the boxes - especially the minimum amount of programs I like in a FULL rom so thumbs up from me

Great rom!!

I've been using SwiftBL all the time until I saw your great work. I have now been using your rom for atleast a week. I really have to say that I'm very impressed about you great and exellent work. Cant't find any bugs at all! Keep up your great Work, Shacks!!:):):D

Two small issues

Hi Shaks,

Great Rom collection!

Perhaps you or somebody else can help me to finetune the 3.1ROM.

1. Before I was using Swift´s Rom and somehow, I just cannot remember I could set the system to come up with Reminders with a Popup at the bottom of the screen displaying the text for the appointment with your ROM it is just showing the small icon in the top bar instead. Where to change that behaviour?

2. When I am e.g. would like to see the battery status or the reminder messaage by tipping on the icon on the top bar then the system does not show the message or the battery immediately but jumps first in that additional and useless grey window where I need to select e.g. the battery again. How to change that to jump immediately to the battery status?

3. When I do a call the "end call" button is grey and I just can stop with the hardware button from the Diamond - isn´t it silly that the "end call" buton is not usable? Can I change that?

Thanks guys for your help

Guys & Gals

Just wanted a little bit of feedback on default settings for the next version

As previous roms were not UC, I had cooked in some settings which I like to use but may not be to eveybodies taste. Now that I am using UC I am willing to change these as I can set them on my device thru UC.

What do you think the following settings should be set to:

Current Setting in my rom (default settings in original rom in brackets)

GPRS disconnects after 5 minutes (do not autodisconnect in original)

SMS Sent Notification Enabled (Disabled in default)

Wake up on new SMS (Disabled in Default)

Task Manager set to close all programs using X button (Default is not to - press & hold to close)

Album set to close on exit (Default disabled)

As mentioned the settings wothout brackets are what myrom is set to and the ones in brackets are default ones in htc rom.

Let me know your thoughts on what they should be set to and I will consider what to do with them.

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

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
1. sorry can't help you there. It's to do with how touchflo handles it and takes over the soft key buttons. I don't think you can change that behaviour in any rom? Check under sound & notifications in the control panel.

2. I'm 100% sure you can disable that but can't remember how. I think it may be linked to enlargestartmenu setting possibly. Search and I'm sure it's on here.

3. Never seen this behaviour or experienced it. I can access the end button. Are you sure you aren't talking about the slider that you have to slide down? Did you have this in any other roms? Maybe try hard reset or reflash - possible bad flash. Nobody else has reported this bug and I have been using this rom for a while with plenty of incoming & outbound calls without this issue.

With regards to ur Third point I am sure u mean the abt the Grey curtain like in the pic I hve attached is it like this as shown in the pic???

Hope it helps....

I think these settings are fine and not a great deal of hassle for anyone that wants to alter these via Advance Config etc.

Battery life with this rom and radio 1.09.25.23 seems greatly improved so far comapred to old panosha and last 1.93 radio rom (can't remember what it was now) so thanks again!

Suspend?

Shaks, i've got a simple question: in the previuos 3.00 there was a "Suspend" link to programs that was useful for me, since i remapped the left-soft key to suspend my diamond.

Now with 3.10 you've removed it. How can i put it back? I hate to abuse the power-button!!! :D

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Sorry, I didn't think they would be useful with the power button now doing reset.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
hi shaks u says next version :eek:when :rolleyes::confused:why :( what for whats the matter with 3.10
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
UC doesn't work that well in all current UC diamond roms due to connection setup trying to take control of the screen. I have fixed this (probably the only cook who has) and this leads to less issues with customisation getting stuck in a loop.

Alot of the cooked applications in the 3.10 & previous roms get copied into program files (as well as being in the rom). This leads to storage space being lost & a cluttered program files folder. These packages have been modified so they no longer do so saving around 2Mb space. I was too lazy to fix this before as it is nothing major at all.

These improvements will not affect the running of the rom in any way. I am also looking at creating a better way of setting differents types of device lock as it's pretty poor at the moment. The release is not imminent yet as everything is done except for the device lock app.

There is no big reason to upgrade unless you are a user of UC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
yea i understand thanx for the great info and update u sure a good chef bro ur answers help out and ohnest about the lock i dont use the won u got in the rom i kinda like throttlelock , connection setup trying to take control of the screen this why i stopped using it aswell but i guess i dont have to upgrade but well it have anydifernt settings the rom or all the same
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Settings & performance will all be the same. UC now works perfect in the test versions.

Regarding the device lock nobody on this thread has ever mentioned it however a couple of people I set up the roms for do use it.

P.S saw some benchmarks on some of the new 2.03 based roms ported with 21009. The benchmarks are almost the same so looks I'm not upgrading to that at any point soon - don't want to introduce other issues especially and I see no benefit of it. Once this is done I don't think I'll be doing many changes after unless something important happens like a new base rom.
