...RAM usage is unusually high, like over 70% even though applications are not running. Also, the signal reception seemed to be bit less than that of 1.09..

reverting back..

anyway, thanx buddy...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] totalcmdext:
Exactly!

I suppose that in .cab files will be better if it is possible.

Thanks for your kind suggestion ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fazalali110:
hey tommytao, is the high mem usage normal or am i an exception?

i do like your ROM, its pretty fast...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aussie1234:
Great ROM

Links finally worked (thanks guys)

Installed this ROM and it is fast and smooth. Even the traditional slow accessed settings and programs moved quicker.

I installed Xmod's HD 1.8.1 and 1.8.5 fix (not the combined CFC version) and even that is faster.

It would be great if Tommy's ROM was used as a base ROM for further changes and enhancements.

Well done Tommy and thanks! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Neo+6210:
Hi Tommy!!

Can any one tell me what are the exact changes in this ROM?

Also radio is bit older. is new one (09) is bad?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] leegoon84:
well, I must say it's graphically the fastest and stable rom I ever used on my device.

only problem is that it gets really hot after few min of usage or charging so I went back.

but performance wise, it's the best.

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mojojuju:
i think that your problem with gettin hot is not from the ROM. It has to do with radio.

I have this ROM installed, and it is FAST. The only bug i could find is that sometimes, the volume buttons don't work. After a soft restart they work ok. I don't really know what is the problem but ... i will keep this ROM, because it is closest to the stock one.

SO, change your RADIO to a better one and see if it still get's hot
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] plindeman:
I've been running this rom a few days now.

+ It's very stable

+ It's quite fast (haven't tested stock rom though)

- Eats a lot of ram (about 60-70% at reboot)

- Heat problem

The phone gets extremely hot (dangerously hot to be more precise) when connected with USB or BT. I haven't done that much testing but this heat problem occurred when I shared internet connection to my laptop. The heat problem doesn't seem to occur when only charging the battery.

I was running CT's latest rom before this one, CT seemed a lot faster and consumed a lot less ram (about 50% or even less). But CT was very unstable.

I'm going to keep this rom and I recommend it to you guys as well.

Thanks a lot! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
Extra RAM usage is actually ...... pagepool ;)

Conventually, static pagepool decreases "total program memory". Dynamic pagepool, in contrast, increases "used program memory". Because pagepool size (e.g. 8MB), is small compared with total program memory (e.g. 100MB), but large compared with used program memory (e.g. 50MB). So in dynamic pagepool case, pagepool size will have greater impact on RAM usage % (difficult to explain :( , please kindly do some mathematical imagination).

Luckily, RAM usage % is just a *numerical illusion*, suppose both static pagepool & dynamic pagepool consume the same amount of memory (e.g. 8MB), free memory (both static & dynamic) are the same even though RAM usage % of dynamic pagepool is higher :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
HI totalcmdext

CAB could do most of performance tweak.

ATI driver, .NetCF3.5 are all encapsulated as CAB. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
Hi fazalali110

It's normal, high mem usage indicates that flying pagepool is running :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
Thanks for aussie support :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
09 radio ROM is great, esp. in the balancing between battery consumption and signal strength. 08 is chosen because it is great and focusing on battery performance. Flashing 09 radio ROM while keeping aFast is a good idea, if 09 radio ROM performs great in your country.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
Hi mojojuju,

Thanks for your report, will take a look in it. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
Hi plindeman, thanks for your support. ;)

For CT, CT has done great magic on performance & storage memory tweak.

For hot issue, it is safe for sure ;) If a cooler Diamond is prefered, please kindly change radio ROM to original (1.09.25.23), issue would disappear instantly. :)

Hi kings121

Radio 1.11.25.0 is promising in most aspects and regions (e.g. HK). Excellent signal reception !!! (while battery consumption is reasonable)

aFast ROM v2.03 (040) would be ready within these few days. Featuring snappy operation, tiny memory consumption and more suitable for being MID (Mobile Internet Device). Latest build is aFast ROM v2.03 (035, with radio 1.11.25.0 built-in)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:
Someone is smart and damn right ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tommytao:

Topaz ROM is awesome and fast !!!

It's a great idea to build ROM upon it. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iago_00:
Really looking forward to such a build then. Right now using your current release and it's a marvel. If you manage to replicate such a release with Topaz ... well it would be really brilliant....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] inspiron32110:
thanks tommytao for the great release.

flashed my device with the afast v2.03 b35 rom 2 days ago. i must say that this is the best i have seen as yet. fast, stable and very responsive.

have tried many roms but with a lot of problems:

i. Shaks.P v3.20 18.01.2009

ii. SwiftBL Diamond ROM V7.5

iii. Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_CVSD (3.02)

iv. Stock v1.34 WWE

v. Stock v1.93 WWE

vi. Stock v2.03 WWE

however, i have a few suggestions:

i. use the 1.09.25.23 radio version. my device was burning up with the current v1.11.25.0 and battery life was poor. after downgrading to v1.09.25.23 heat is virtually non-existent even after 20mins of gps use and reception seem great. this is even better than v1.00.25.05

ii. you should consider esmertec jbed for the java vm instead of the stock jblend. i find installation of midlets easier and they generally run faster on esmertec jbed

anyway, thanks again. ill be sticking to this release for some time. keep up the great work!!

NECF 3.5?

Hello Tommy

After I installed your ROM I installed programs requiring NETCF 3.5.

You mentioned in your post that your b40 ROM has NETCF 3.5. But when I went to run my installed programs they did not work and error messages occured telling me my NETCF was outdated or I needed to upgrade my version!!?? :confused:

I had to install 3.5 manually by a cab file. All my programs worked.

I also installed NETconfig. This showed me that NETCF 2.0 was already installed in the ROM.

This may be useful to you unless I have missed something.

Thanks for your ROM.

Aussie :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Armalite66:
Hi, great ROM. Keep up the good work!

Bugs/ suggested changes:

.NET 3.5 should be installed by default.

Doesn't check e-mail, even thou you've set it up to do so.

Graphic gliches: Sometimes when opening windows modules from manilla, the screen is split in half and it shows half win module and half manilla (lower part).

When browsing the internet, all open programs close, and Opera hangs. Dynamic memory problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aoryx:
thnx aloot

i rly like ur super fast rom

except for the memory leak thing

i know its the dynamic pool but u gonna try integrating cleanram script like NATALYs to refresh ram each now and then

I'm interested in the above mentioned case from Swiss Mobility. Anyone here with experiences to share with this case (used together with X1)? I can't find a distributor in Europe - anyone knows where to buy it in Europe? (I know BestBuy has them, but the nearest store is 6000 miles away and shipping is twice the cost of the case). Swiss Mobility's web site hasn't worked for some time. Anyone knows what's up with that?

How exactly are carrying cases worn?

I've seen people wear carrying cases only a scarce amount of times, and I totally forgot how people manage to wear these.

I have a carrying case for my phone (not the Xperia), and it is so bulky! It's for the Samsung SCH-i760 btw. Anyways, so this is how I wear it: I basically use the "clip" to clip onto my belt, but I notice it is so bulky.

So when I usually wear shirts that cover almost pass the fly/zipper of my pants. And when I try to pull my shirt down to cover my pant, it covers the damn thing, and it looks like I got big tumor on the right or left side of my stomach.

So then I clip it on my pocket, it looks better, but now the pong hangs more loosely. It's kinda funny how these carrying cases rarely have a model for them to wear the carrying case, this is because companies know that it's freaking ugly to carry these things, ugly = no sales.

So if I am doing it all wrong, and if I am wrong that it's freaking ugly, then tell me this: what is the proper method of wearing these damn things?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scote:
beware magnets

that swiss case uses a magnet, when i had a case that used magnets i found that when i got a call the phone would wake up and as the phone passed by the magnet when getting it out it would think that the slide had been activated and rotate . by the time this happened i could not answer the call in time and it went to messaging.

This may have been more of an issue with some of the earlier roms that I was using that were quite slow to rotate.

you might be able to work round this depending on the strength of the magnet and/or what orientation you put the phone in the case.

I bought a case that is secured by velcro to avoid this problem, however a couple of months later the velcro has worn out and does not stay closed. I may get my old magnet case out again and see if the new faster roms are better at coping.
