[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Greenion:
thanks for all the help

thanks for all your comments

I bought the touch diamond second hand, and didn't realise till after I'd parted with the money it was branded (HUGE newbie mistake) but I haven't bought a new phone for 6 years since I got the Nokia 6620.

I use a vodafone sim, and have it working pretty well, just the last lot of telstra locked stuff annoys me. Thanks to this fantastic forum I have been able to change and unlock most of it. Biggest thing is some things just won't work on it, because the current Telstra rom is 1.38.841.5 (vodafone rom is 1.96.XXX.X) and experience a fair share of the modding apps & cabs have problems or simply don't work.

I was thinking of the vodafone one simply because I'm with them. Also when I was first trying to unlock it talked to HTC and they said I couldn't use the vodafone rom on my telstra branded because the hardware in the telstra one is different to the vodafone one.

Thanks for the help, can anyone suggest the best custom rom, & what else do i need to change roms? I've got a bit of a IT background, just not with phones.

Really love this little phone, and I see potential for tf3d, but long way of modding to get it as I want it.

Thanks again everyone.

I have a similar question, thought I'd save wasting a new thread and post it here.

I've had a Telstra branded Diamond for a few months now, using it with a 3 Mobile SIM, and have had no worries until a couple of days ago, when I started roaming, and haven't been able to reconnect to the three mobile network since..

Any ideas??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] scnyer:
The only question regarding Telstra branded Diamonds is returning to original SPL 1.38 for warranty reasons..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Greenion:
just one more thought

another question or two...

If I upgrade to another custom rom will I still have to unlock it after the hard reset?

I've been looking and think I've found the rom I want, but can't find a definitive link for hard spl. I've read the thread that everywhere directs me to and the links that I think are for the unsigned hardspl has the headind stock spls, or am I just misreading this.

Also does anyone know if CT 6.4 is signed or unsigned?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Windza:
Guys - I understand the confusion surrounding upgrading and flashing ROMs as it was only recently I was in the same position.

So in an attempt to make it a little easier for those reading here I will pass on what has worked well for me...

1. Flash HardSPL as downloaded from here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705 (it's unsigned but don't worry about that... it saves headaches if you want my opinion)

2. Download the ROM of your choice (as stated earlier - my preference is currently CT's v6.4HD... fast, stable and HD, what more do you want?)

3. Once you have the ROM, extract the .nbh file and rename it to DIAMIMG.nbh and copy this to the root of your internal storage on your Diamond

4. If you're ready to flash (meaning you've backed up whatever you wanna save) then hold the vol down and back button and press the reset button together until you see the tri-colour screen... you're then in the bootloader

5. The phone will search for the .nbh file you placed in memory and ask you to press the power button to confirm you want to flash... obviously you want to do this so sit back while it flashes

6. Once done, reset the phone and perform a hard reset (this is recommended by most ppl although I haven't always done it and never had any issues)

Now enjoy setting your phone up with a custom ROM...

If you want more detail then I strongly suggest you search around and read... it takes time and effort but it's definitely worth it if you want to flash with confidence...

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Greenion:
not as easy

Sorry if anyone read this orginal post just getting jitters when something went wrong with hardspl flash.

But a soft reset later and its still works. But it raises the question if something bad happens when flashing the hardspl and bootloader doesn't work what can be done apart from throwing phone away?

I assume as long as the bootloader works you can manually redo incomplete rom install?

Something going wrong with hard spl install is my biggest worry, it was a nats ear from happening a little earlier so I'm asking these questions.

Oh & last thing with CT's 6.4 rom what is the real difference between original TF3d and HD? How is the increased screen resolution handled? Do you have to scroll down for the area I cant see, or is it cut off so you can not access it, or is it squished to fit the smaller resolution?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Windza:
As long as you can access the bootloader you should be able to sort out the phone... personally I've never had an issue with flashing (and on average I've flashed my two Diamonds (a 130 and 100) an easy 30-40 times).

My preference with flashing is to do it from the internal storage (seems the most logical in terms of reliability - and is also by far the fastest) but I'm not sure if HardSPL can be done that way - if it is possible I'd be strongly recommending it - USB connections are just too dicey for something that serious.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lord_BlackAdder:
I have the OliNex 1.4 hard spl and I can flash CT's ROM without any problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Greenion:
done

Well it done.

A little easier than I was expecting but just as concerning, but over now.

Finally went with CT's 6.4 Original, I can always change to the HD or just add one of the HD add ons.

Everything is running smooth and well. Finally all the testra crap is gone.

Thanks to everyone for their help and kind advice.

This is a GREAT forum, its been a fantastic help and resource.

Till next time

[XPERIA X1 General] kuraudo:
First off, I don't want this to come off as any form of begging, so please read the whole post before making judgments.

I have noticed that many of the people posting about their X1 have things to complain about or simply don't like their device. If this is you, and you're planning on junking your device, maybe you would like to donate it to me instead? Of course, if you can get a refund and need the money, certainly do so; I've slowly been saving for an X1 and should have one in the next couple of months (assuming SE hasn't announced an X2 device by then). However, time is precious, and many things could be done in those few months while waiting.

About me: I've been programming for about 7-8 years now, and taking apart electronic devices and hacking around at the hardware since I was maybe 10. I enjoy cooking up new ROMs (who doesn't love voiding their warranty? =D) and writing software for various mobile devices. I'm also a long-standing Sony Ericsson fan, and have in fact recently gone back to my K550i after a few months with the Samsung Behold.

If/When I do get an X1, I have several plans, including:

- Developing panels (I have a few ideas in mind already, and the SDK installed, but development isn't practical without the proper testing device).

- Developing games (I have a few ideas in mind here as well, plus games I could easily port from those I've written for other devices).

- Developing WM software

- Possibly some ROM cooking, but no guarantee on a time-frame

- Exploring the hardware for tweaks/hacks/etc.

Now, as I said, there is certainly no rush to do this, and I have no specific need for anyone to donate a phone, as I will likely be able to buy one in a few months. However, if someone did contribute here, it would be helpful in advancing everyone's Xperience (I've noticed panels and games are particularly lacking, yeah?). So if you're planning on throwing out your X1, or simply have too much money to manage properly, feel free to contact me!
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
The economy in the US can't be that bad surely ?

The problem you have is how the US distribute phones, you buy an expensive call plan, then you have to buy the phone at full price :eek:

If you shop around in the UK you can get 600mins, 1000texts + unlimited data for £30 a month, 18m contract...with a free X1.

What the heck is going on in the USA Telecoms market ?

You are being ripped off big time !
[XPERIA X1 General] figurine:
lol that's what i'm wondering! we only get free phones if we start a new two year contract... but the phones are so worthless (like cheap flip nokias and motorolas). it costs so much to have a nice phone. i had to save 2 and a half paychecks just so i could buy my x1 :/

also Kuraudo, in microsoft visual studio, which you will need to develop your own panels, sony has developed an xperia emulator so you can see how your panel will work on the device. I was going to try and develop some panels but visual studio used up too much of my laptops resources so i had to get rid of it.
[XPERIA X1 General] fhsieh:
The US has piss-poor carrier competition. The big four are Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-mobile: Verizon and Sprint are ruled out because they're CDMA networks, and T-mobile uses its proprietary UMTS 1700 (3G) network. That just leaves AT&T to carry all the UMTS 850/1900 devices. It's not like Europe where multiple carriers operate on UMTS 2100, meaning any UMTS 2100 device could be used on any carrier, and therefore carriers will compete with each other to get exclusivity on high-end phones. With AT&T, they don't really have to compete with anyone -- and you can also place some blame on their monopoly with the iPhone.

Also, the US economy might not be that bad (it could be a lot worse, but hopefully it won't get that way), but a lot of people in the US still only use their phone for voice and SMS, which means there isn't really a high demand for 3G phones from the average consumer -- except, again, for the iPhone. And if the economy is taking a dive, there's less incentive for anyone to spend more money on cellphone service.

Anyway, that's getting off-track. To OP: have you seen HTC's leaked 2009 roadmap? The X1 looked like a great device but there have been so many quality control issues that I decided not to get one, and now with HTC planning to release a whole slew of devices in 2009, the X1 is looking more and more like "old news".
[XPERIA X1 General] kuraudo:
I've already had this installed, and have used it to some extent, but it's not very ideal to base an entire development on the emulation (as it's slower and usability is different; i.e. comparing 800 pixels in width on a 17" screen vs. a 3" screen?).

I haven't seen it, and I'll look into it, but if your issue was with the X1's construction quality, it doesn't seem like you should be shopping from the same manufacturer (you dislike how HTC built the X1, so instead you want to buy HTC phones).

As far as I know, the "cracks and paint" issue with the X1 casing was limited to a few specific weeks of its production, and I'm under the impression that the more current ones would be more durable (an e-mail response I got from SE when I asked about the cracks and stuff said that it won't be a problem if I buy from sonystyle.com, which is either a way of trying to make more money... or of indicating that I should be buying newly-produced phones, rather than phones on eBay from the bad production weeks).

As far as the speed problem goes, it doesn't seem like there's a large enough latency that it would concern me during normal use. Plus, I'd imagine that a firmware update will eventually come to improve it.

I'll have a look at the HTC roadmap and get back to this thread, but...is there any news of a leaked SE roadmap? :D

Edit: had my look, but I didn't see anything too eye-catching (besides a hot pink phone that was outright ugly, to say the least). Didn't see any specs, but I didn't even like the way most of them looked.
[General Questions and Answers] quiquefs:
Good morning.

I've developed an application for Windows Mobile which uses the CameraCaptureDialog to take photos. I've been working with HTC Touch and Dual, and it works perfectly, but now I have to use this application with HTC Diamond, and the accelerometer is annoying me.

If i take a photo with the diamond in horizontal, it works well and takes the photo with a resolution of 320x240 (i'm going to rise it to 640x480). but with the diamond in vertical, it takes the photo with a resolution of 240x320 and then stretches it to 320x240, so it is deformed.

Could you help me with this?

Thank you very much.

Enrique
[General Questions and Answers] Elodie:
You can try to stop the accelerometer with Gyrator (where you can disable the rotation for your app)
[General Questions and Answers] quiquefs:
Finally I've deleted the lines to limit the resolution and it is taking photos at 640x480 in horizontal and 480x640 when vertical, so I can check if the photo is vertical or horizontal before showing it, and then rotate it if is vertical.

Thanks,

Enrique

Hey, i have Windows Mobile 6.1 and for any SMS thats over a day old, it doesnt show the time, only the date. Is there any way I can see the details of the message or have it so it shows (day/month hours:minutes:seconds)?

SMS Database

Hi

I can't advise on the day/date stamp of older SMS conversations. However, in terms of the "threaded" structure, this is only a method of displaying the SMS Messages sent and received. Both Threaded and Standard views of SMS messages sent and received use the same database. I think they're in pim.vol, but others may be able to elaborate on that point.

Either way, I think that if you can successfully back up and restore this database you should be able to display the restored messages in standard or threaded mode.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[General Questions and Answers] WhoIsClu:
thank you,

but i did successfully restore the database,

but when it is restored, the sent and received are grouped.

like this:

before the backup:

sent message 1

received message 1

sent message 2

received message 2

and then after restoring the backup:

sent message 1

sent message 2

received message 1

received message 2

theyre in the right order, just not like a conversation
