Rename ..NBH file to DIAMIMG.nbh
Copy to Internal Storage
Soft Reset + Hold volume down button + back button <----
Follow instructions on screen

will report l8r ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi Guys sorry I'm not planning on implemeting this as The background I use looks odd on the other tabs but looks OK on the home screen. I'd prefer to leave this as default and it's obviously available as a cab anyway.

One of the things I am planning on doing is adding UC compliance. This cab could then be installed by you guys using UC. Let me know what you think.

I'll also look into remapping the power button the shutdown or reset however I wasn't personally too fond of psshutxp when I last used it which is what's required for holyfox poweroff.

Sorry guys if I was a little ratty about requests previously. I think adding UC would mean I can help everybody out who is willing to implement files in their internal storage to auto install things they use.

Thanks for the feedback guys & gals

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bytemybits:
UC support sounds like a good solution. Don't worry about being ratty. You obviously put a lot of time into this without having to go through a billion requests for this and that.

hi shaks1979

I can't enable plugin on opera and there is no flash support, any solution?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
great, great ROM..

compare with stock 1.93 ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=464497

92% before, with stock 1.93.

many thanks for the chef!! this ROM is ownage! and with UC it will be perfect!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi, This issue is down to the new version of opera that comes with the standard 2.03 roms and you will likely have the same issue with all of them. It shoud be possible to install 2808 or below version of opera on top of the current on which is 15316. I have noticed this issue mentioned with other 2.03 roms as well. Personally I don't use flash as I found it slowed the whole device down when on flash sites and was buggy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi. Great to see some benchmark results. Thanks iRiKi for taking the time to do this. Any idea how it compares with other 2.03 roms? It's not been benchmarked for some reason in the main diamond benchmark thread even though a couple of people appear to have requested the 2.00 series ones.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
sorry mate this was my first custom ROM, i had originally stock 1.93 and never used any 2.x ROM's before. but its a good improvement!

btw i tried flashing 1.10.25.25 from the radio thread, but i got the infamous Upgrade ROM code error, so i'm back to square one! :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Just flash back to a diamond radio whilst in the bootloader and all should be OK
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
i got scared and re-flashed with HARDSpl_Diamond_OliNex_1.93_Unsigned. personally, what radio are you using btw ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
I use 1.09.25.23 however everybodies experiences with radios are different dependent on where they are in the world and operator. If you have tried to flash the blackstone radio your phone won't boot till u replace with a diamond radio as you phone isn't CID unlocked
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iRiKi:
Yes you are right, my diam100 is not cid unlocked, my bad :o

Already requested it on the correct [UPG]Diamond CID/Security/SIM Unlocker thread, in the meantime i've managed to install 1.09.25.23 so tomorrow will be the big test on trekking ;)

BTW if you don't mind, i've made a mirror for your ROM: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A4EIIHK8

Again, thanks for your support and for your ROM, really amazing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Added Mirror to download links. Thanks

hi shaks and any users with this rom. i was hoping someone could tell me if your diamond takes a long time to ring out loud after the caller starts hearing rings their end?

this seems to be a problem with most/all diamonds but perhaps you can build in a fix?

cheers

Hey Shaks, I jus downloaded ur ROM and I must say I am really impressed with it's speed so far... However i wud like to point out if you could remove the welcome center movie at the very begining showing how to use the TouchFLO cause it gets really irritating to the see the same thing over and over again especially when u hve to Hard Reset Again....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] whitefalcon:
HTC Vol....

Hey Shaks jus wonderin if the Vol screen is correct cause I think it is an older version am I rite????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Hi

Are you sure you have flashed my rom and not the original htc?

There is most definitely no Welcome Centre in my rom whatsoever as I removed it on all my roms. This one is no exception.

Also there is a reason I am using the volume control that comes with the 2.03 rom. It's not old, it's the default for the diamond as me and many users have found the other volume controls (voda & raphael) both have some big bugs where as this one appears totally bug free bt not as nice looking. In my versions 2.00-2.20 I was using the voda volume control but reverted back to the default in 2.30

This issue is discussed here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3105200#post3105200

I'd love to use the nicer raphael/voda volume control however only if they are bug free like this one.

Try replacing your ringtones with a wav file. I've attached a small one here:

Also 2.00 & 2.03 appear to have less delay than older roms.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
It works spot on. It didn;t work first time I flashed it however that was an issue on my end. It's worked OK on subsequent reflashes & hard resets.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bytemybits:
That's odd 'cause I get the welcome movie when I flash too. I just flashed 3.0 last night (thank you very much) and sure enough it played.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ernexto:
it's incredible how good is this rom for me. you've put ALL the progs i use regularly, none left! plus: it's fast, stable and... beautiful!!!

must send you a couple of beers soon! :-P

btw, do you know a way to completely remove the bricks in ther background to have it COMPLETELY black?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Srem:
just on the d/l. looking forward to flashing as feedback looks very good. i'll have to wait for my usb cable to arrive tho, original gone missing!?!

i assume olinex 1.40 will be fine?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] whitefalcon:
Well yeah i had Hard Reset mine nearly 3 times and surely enough it was playin the welcome movie everytime... anyway shaks jus hve a look... it is not a serious issue as such but honestly it does gets on ur nerves seeing the welcome movie everytime at startup after a hard reset:p hee hee and yeah also another thing I know it's there somewhere on the forum but cud someone post the regedit on how to change the right softkey Programs on the TouchFLO 3D home screen to Comm Manager as I personally feel is required and it's quite useful...

btw shaks a really excellent ROM gud work!!!!!

Cheers ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
That's strange as I don't get it here. I know on my MDA Compact IV it always played on the original 1.37 rom but never seen it on any others. I think the welcome movie is on the memory card so maybe worth looking at and renaming. I'll check this when I get home on my wifes mda as that is still on 2.40. The T-Mobile welcome movie was customised to t-mobile and is under internalstorage/Video/MDA_Compact_IV_Getting_Started

Do you guys have anything in this folder?

Anybody else noticed this on the other roms? The welcome center is removed however it looks like the welcome movie is possibly a different package. Have you seen it on any other roms?

PS Key for changing soft keys in manila (shamelessly ripped from swiftbl's thread):

There is no welcome movie after hard reset on my phone. Just flashed Shaks v3.00.

best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] funkys:
Very good ROM. It has some nice programs installed.

best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for your feedback. I think it runs if there is a particular named welcome movie on the internal storage. If anybody finds it let me know and I will investigate. As my welcome movie is renamed by t-mobile it only runs if running a t-mobile rom.

In the meantime guys if you find this maybe just rename the welcome movie whatever it is called (in internal storage somewhere) to something else and hard reset to test. Let me know how this goes.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] alamkhan3980:
Shaks, freaking top ROM mate. I have used quite a few on this and no disrespect to any other cooker on here, but this has to be the BEST I have used. No issues what so ever. The welcome movie works fine on my phone too.

Flashed 2 phones and both working wonders! The only thing I changed were the start bar icons as I like a bit of colour on the screen!

Fantastic mate! Keep it up!! Can't wait for the next release!! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bytemybits:
Right you are (of course).

/internal storage/Content/Video/Touch_Diamond_GettingStarted.3g

on my phone anyway, ymmv

I'm really happy with this ROM Shaks. Stable, fast, useful stuff installed for me. Brilliant.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
So the welcome movie is definitely not in the rom but runs if it's at the following location on internal storage:/internal storage/Content/Video/Touch_Diamond_GettingStarted.3g

One fix for this is to rename or delete it.

If you don't have the file or it's named something different e.g MDA_Compact_IV_Getting_Started.3g like on mine then it doesn't run which is why some people experience it and others don't. Anybody who has had this on my rom noticed it on any others? I've never noticed it purely as my filename is different.

There may be a method for disabling it in the rom however I haven't found it yet so any help appreciated.

Ernexto, there may be a better method to do this however try this one:

Download mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02.cab from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432951

This will change your background on all tabs, then change your background to a plain black picture. Background pictures I beleive are stored on the internal storage/content/wallpaper. You would need a 640*480 black file. This should do the trick for you.

Thanks you everybody for your support. The feedback makes it all worthwile!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thafath:
Some issues here :(

Thank you for all the good job you do.

Unfortunatly, I have some issues with this new ROM (V3):

1- Some programs don't open in VGA mode (PocketToolman, SeaSGEE, RealOne Player, Pocket Islam, AiroMap, ...), this issue was not in the previous ROMs.

2- Tomtom TT_Nav_7.450 not working with this ROM and with all the roms based on 2.03 I tried (Dutty, Shaks.Pv3.00_12MbPP, v6.3FullHDTFl, SONE_v1 and Vic_Diamond_ROM_WWE_3_3_Full_CE_OS_21009_Aku_1_6_0) any solution will be appreciated (the cab installs correctly, but when I execute it a message "not enough memory is available") this problem was not in the previous ROMs.

3- I notice that the TrackeMe did not work will all the ROMs (Shaks), it came with a strang message, I think there is something to do with .net 2.0/.net 3.5

TrackeMe works on (NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab), never had this problem with all the roms I tried, Shaks can you confrim please the version of .net in your ROMs and is .net 3.5 replacing .net 2.0 ?

I have to say that after all the ROMs I tried, I'm back to Shaks.P.v2.10, the best for me if just I can fix the TrackMe problem.

Thank you guys and Sorry to give this issues.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Thanks for your feedback

1. You mention these programs don't work in VGA mode. This must be down to how these programs were written and not really for vga devices. You mentioned earlier in an earlier post that u had the same issue with other roms so maybe linked to the newer build from MS. I will test some of these soon however can't promise a fix as it' could be an incompatibility between the apps and the 2.03/20764 build. Can you post screenshots of what happens?

2. Some people have this issue with tomtom others don't. I use 7.910 and no issues. As this is affecting all 2.03 roms theres not much I can say unless a fix is found. It is already being discussed in other threads and only affects some people.

Are you installing tomtom to program memory not internal storage? I had this same issue installing to internal storage when i first got the device so have always installed to program memory. Also try with 7.910 which has some improvements to 7.450 however needs map reactivation

UPDATE - Apparently some people on the other threads find their maps get corrupted with 2.03 and once they replace the maps the errors go away!

http://xdaforums.com/show...ostcount=10172

3. Trackme needs .net 3.5 & sql 3.5. The rom has .net 3.5 & no 2.0 however I have not touched sql which is 3.0 as in most other roms as very few people use SQL and I didn't want to mess about with it or break it as I can't easily test it. If you look at the trackme thread, there are links to sql3.5 so install that and let me know how you get on.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=340667

P.S you mention you are using 2.10. I would recommend you try 2.30 or 2.40 as they are updated with bug fixes. Please see change logs in posts. You should not experience any of the above issues in these either as the builds are the same from 2.00 to 2.40
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] whitefalcon:
Hey Shaks I think u it bang on target on the welcome issue thing... :) but sumthin to ponder on is when I had used Dutty's ROM 3.6b Final the welcome movie waz never played even though i had the movie in my "internal storage/Content/Video" anywayz I don't think i wud want to Hard Reset now :p cause i am jus settling in with ur ROM and I must say it is really gud I still hve to test the GPS cause I use Garmin Mobile XT and so far all the ROMs i have flashed i hve never faced any problems with a GPS lock so I am not expecting any problems on the GPS front...

And Thanks for the tip on changing the Right Soft Key and yeah i also added a bit of color to the screen by adding new taskbar icons i feel the new look is excellent....

Anywayz thanks fer ur help shaks.... Cheers ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robinbb:
...before I decide to upgrade to this ROM, can any tell me their experience with ring delay on this latest Shaks? There are a zillion non-Shaks-related fixes postulated but as far as I know there is no definitive solution.

Notwithstanding all the various talks about WAV files, location of tones, phone pad change, slot cycle, HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RinTone0 etc, I sometimes wonder if the whole thing links to MSVC interference.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Great ROM as always.

One problem - My email address is too long for the facebook box in the social networking account program, and it won't allow extra characters to be added.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Your email addy must be really really long as it allows up to 40 characters. Sorry, that's the way the app is and htc would need to fix that unless there is a setting in the registry you could hard code the email address into? Maybe change to a normal length email address?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
i gots no issue with tomtom im just thinking if i should upgrade my tomtom 7.45 always works

with any rom i upgrade
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shaks1979:
Not major differences however I found it smoother & more responsive.

You need to reactivate maps if you are using 7.450.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:

Just tested the following apps: Pocket Islam & Airomap on v3.00(my diamond - based on 2.03 & v2.40(Wife's diamond based on 2.00)

Both applications worked perfectly on both devices in VGA with no issues whatsoever. Is there another app on your device that's causing this issue?

After flashing my Diamond on and off for the past 3 months, I think I've found the perfect ROM. Speed, Stability, its all here. For anyone who has not tried this ROM and is tempted to take the plunge, stop thinking and flash now, its honestly that good.

For the first time my phone actually feels like the way it should, like a real Diamond.

Thank you shaks.

Yes, that's my third or fourth ROM from Shaks in a row - think I started with 2.10.

It's by far the most rock-solid, fast & smooth ROM and has THE perfect configuration out-of-the-box. As I wrote already it is the turn-key ROM including 24x7 instant support by Shaks. He has a feeling for the right components, no unnecessary stuff messes his ROMs.

Flashed the latest this morning and I am happy. Thank you so much!
