Hi dickenz,

"Nice" to see other experience "strange problems"... thanks for this info.

Note: I had those problems even if I flash the stock htc rom before.

I'm trying now with the cleaning of the diamond with this procedure:

1. bring the device to bootloader. in diamond: (Volume down + reset)

2. Launch ActiveSync on PC

3. Go to connection settings

4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection

5. Now, run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC.

- Select USB from the "Port" drop-down on the upper left corner of the dialog box and hit OK

- another screen will come up. Hit enter and that will show "USB>"

6. CMD>task 29

- wait untill finished then exit.

7. Flash the ROM of your choice.

Everything is going fine for the moment, (no problems with activesync (inet trough USB) and the camera)

What a pleasure :) !!!

Edit: At 2nd reboot back to problems with the camera... :s

Words of wisdom.

I have to admit I think I might have found a decent ROM to keep on my Diamond for the time being and do just that - relax and enjoy the device. It isn't perfect but none of these custom ROM images are, lets face it. This is a hobby and we should just be lucky we have chefs to make our Windows Mobile life a little bit better in this dark age of iPhonemania.

The core processes are what counts. GPS on this ROM is better than I have experienced with any other Diamond images. It even beats out my Fuze with At0m's custom rom, and that puppy isn't something to sneeze at either. In less than 20 seconds from a cold boot I got a lock in the middle of my house. I have never experienced GPS run this fast on these HTC phones. It beats my old Blackjack2 (after the 6.1 upgrade).

Memory is a concern but having installed so may of these Topaz based ROM images it isn't any different on consumption. I turned off Advanced Notifications and noticed a few megs more of consistent RAM so maybe some wiggle room exists if you play with the configuration and shut off what you don't need.

My only other recommendation to folks needing more RAM is go with the Naked diamond ROM that just recently got released and install your needed apps along with the new Manila. It does allow for more RAM on average (about 10 megs for the most part). But Macadam has so many sweet spots, plus the GPS runs better under this build.

Thanks again for an excellent ROM. It definitely was worth the install.

background color

help. I went to today and when pressed ok I lost the blue high light for high lighted things. replaced by green again. how can I get the blue back without hard reset .?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DefJamz:
ok... i tried doing what i said would do.. same problem with the contacts. and so far no one responds of they are having the same issue of adding images to contact favs. no idea is it just me or otherwise.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] brunoavrocha:
the solution i gave you was this. Once changed to Storage Card it will never change again. you just have to do the job yourself to correct manually with file explorer the shortcuts (will take you 2 minutes).

about the camera bug, I found this in the registry ...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TaskManager\Lite]

"DesiredMemory"=dword:00001D90

"Description"="Please stop running some programs and free up about %4d KB of memory."

"Title"="Camera"

But I have

39 MB Program memory free...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Martinhdk:
Yup - and I am thankfull for all your efforts. :)

Thats for sure.

But I would still prefer that I was changed to Internal Storage as that would be more handy if I should consider another rom :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] henk2484:
62% memory consumption gives me a preview on my camera. 69% gave me a black screen on my camera. So somewhere between 62% and 69% the camera feels that it's short on memory. I'm not really into the registry hacking, but if I look at the above reg settings I'd say that in order to fix the camera bug we would need to lower the "DesiredMemory" setting. Am I correct?

@sjauquet: Great work finding these registry entries

EDIT: narrowed the memory consumption to 62% working preview and 64% black screen on preview

EDIT2: narrowed the memory further down to 62% working preview, and 63% black screen on preview the only time the camera works is right after a soft reset at which, in my case, the memory consumption is 62%. Any higher will cause the preview screen to go black.

EDIT3: changed the registry setting according to danny's stock settings ("DesiredMemory":dword:1000 - hex) now my memory consumption is at 64% and I still have a working preview screen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kelatzar:
My first ROM update was quite scary flashing my device for the first time but I am happy to say I was smart enough not to brick it!

The ROM works great thank you for your effort!!!!!!

EDIT : Just out of curiosity is it possible to change the clock to the normal one used in TF3D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] megahenebi:
My Camera works for me even I have only 72%... So I think its problem something else...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kurt1988:
means how? how to change the Storage Card back to Internal Storage?

tq..XD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sjauquet:
I agree, my camera didn't work now, even with TF3D unloaded and 45% ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] megahenebi:
Tell me what did you installed on your diamond after reflash?

And how you installed Macadam rom?

camera

Hi my camera wasn't working as well but I got it working by going into advanced config and setting the "capture Key Delay Time" from 0 to 1.

now its been working fine for me for the last 16 hours.:D

I hope this helps:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tombrighteyes:
well it was working pretty good. but now the S2V program doesnt work, it pops up on the title and writes the folder thats the cache, but just closes for some odd reason. i tried hard reset and even re-flashing but nothing, it was working before but now it isn't i think ill wait for this ROM to get a little more stable anyway. for now im going to try out another ROM. too bad i really liked the the whole manil2 stuff. but i guess good things take some time. i'll probably check back here later see if danny makes a better release or a "final" release to this ROM. for now. good luck with everything.

i know this ROM is going to be great in the near future. and i know that this ROM will be way better than any stock ROM. i just need something a little more stable at the moment :rolleyes:

dark camera focus screen during taking a snap

Sir

I've download your fine release V1.2 y'day and flashed it in my diamond. By far it's the best quality rom for a diamond (my own view). I found one problem (bug??) in it.

When u try to take a snap, one would generally focus the camera towards the object target. But even in bright daylight the screen is showing complete dark. Nothing is seen there, but on taking the snap, after the review duration of three seconds, the snap (taken) comes on the screen. The problem is u have to take the snap on assumption since u can't see the object during focusing.

Can we solve this problem? One more issue is there, the facebook application says that it's not a valid pocket pc application.

Regards

Go to people tab, press on the contact, scroll down a little till you see "edit contact" in information table, click it, scroll to bottom, press "more", then press on the Picture: Change picture... ;) Doesn't seem to work another way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] henk2484:
Please search the thread. This problem has been discussed several times now. See page 57, post #1130 for my latest findings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DefJamz:
that i already did. but the image will turn out fuzzy since ages ago. the tip to make the image clear is by:

a)selecting a fav contact -> menu -> change picture -> select image and walaaa!! you're done.

but this time round, it doesnt. let's go by this method:

b)add fav -> select contact -> select number -> select image -> :mad::mad::mad: at this point, it'll return to select number -> select image. there's absolutely no way to return to homescreen unless you tap on cancel. and adding an image to an existing fav is not possible atm.

now what i would like to confirm with anyone is: please try out method b and post the result.

and please try this too:

all people -> select any contact -> on the first tab(details), tap menu. does your screen darken and freeze when tapping menu? mine does.

i appreciate some feedback.

thank you..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] references:
B) i noticed that before, but i found another way to do it.. cant remember anymore how.. :confused:

Tapping menu doesnt freeze for me tho

Edit: now i remember, when you press Cancel on the B), it will add new fav which you selected, then just simply go back to people tab and edit that new fav for new pic
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DefJamz:
thanks for the reply. appreciated. but the images are still fuzzy. from previous experience, adding image in step b would retain its sharpness. and references, does it darken your screen when you tap menu? i have gotten around the freeze screen. the screen is still functional. but you cant actually tap the other tabs when the screen darken. pressing back brings it back though. i assume the menu button in details is suppose to bring up a dialog box. that's why it turns dark. it's unable to locate the actual function.

p/s danny, am i correct about my assumption?

p/ss danny, would you mind using this alarm beeps file. the one that you have in the rom is cut short.

thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
I'm a bit stressed atm, have alot of stuff going on.

Here is what I just made fast.

ONLY RUN SOTRAGE CARD TO INTERNAL STORAGE, IF YOU HAVE RUNNED THE .CAB THERE CAN BE FIND HERE. (this one is http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=175134&d=1239443326

About the cab.

It makes the script run after you have soft-resettet.

It removes the internal storage folder, where temp is present. Then it changes the name of it "storage card to Internal storage". Then you juts have to soft-reset. And it's done.

----

To DefJamz:

I will look into the prob and see if I can get a picture on a contact. Thanks for the beep.!

To henk2484:

The problem about camera is 100% fixed in the new version, I just got it confirmed by some of my beta testers.

The problem is missin package, and wrong packages.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] references:
Nope, could it be only in sim contacts? I have all my contacts in outlook and i dont seem to have that prob, or at any menu screen, try to softreset or sync your contacts.

I found a new bug (i think), when having phone in sync mode (and i waited till it was fully synched) and using opera (for exploring this thread example), my phone soft resets itself, i thought maybe it was low ram prob, but i turned touchflo and it did it again, with iexplore i dont have that problem and i dont know does it do that with wlan or so, or maybe it's just synch + opera bug..

Danny, I've flashed my Diamond with your Rom and I must say: GREAT WORK! I love the blue highlights and theme. It's beautifull. I do experience some of tthe bugs mentioned before but with the help you gave I managed to get rid of some of them. The others... I don't really care about them now as I see you are already working on 1,2a (b). Looking forward to that, but untill then I will use 1,2 with pleasure.

Keep up the good work and enjoy your day in the nice weather!

Did you do it like this "add new fav -> select contact -> select number -> select image -> at this point, it'll return to select number -> select image. "?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DefJamz:
breathe... breathe.... take it easy... yeah i know we have been working you like mad. and on my part, im sorry. i appreciate the effort you put into this magnificent rom.

when you released it, im sure the bugs werent apparent cos it wasnt explored fully. it's by no means your fault. but having beta testers means each individual should concentrate on 1 or 2 segments. then rotate the beta-testing again among the testers. in that way, each segment is covered a few times by different testers without any portion being missed. this is to ensure its bug free. every phone has it's own quirks. perhaps different radios that may cause different issue.

just my 2 cents worth. to danny and the beta-testers, keep up the good work and lets squash the bugs cos the only good bug is a dead bug.

btw, is the dull background fixed? i tried the cab you gave and i cant set background for all tabs with it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
No did it this way.

Add fav - chose person - mobile num. - pressed ok up in the cornor - cancel - pressed on the name - edit contact - down in the buttom "more" - select a picture - press ok in cornor. Done. :)

That worked for me. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
U have to install all tabs right after the dull background is fixed. Then there's no bugs with background. :)

Only is not filling the screen complety.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] references:
Yeah we know that way works:p but the image is gonna be fuzzy that way (outlook resizes images badly),

but when you add it like this(which isn't working now):

select a fav -> menu -> change picture -> select image, it would rezise it correctly, no fuzzy pictures.:)

Might be topaz related bug or something?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:

Call History>Menu (right lower button) = touch flo goes dark and unresponsive

Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Pressing "Call History" and then pressing Menu (right lower button) = touch flo becomes dark and unresponsive and the options tabs dont open up like they are supposed to in other tabs [All, Favorites, Updates and Events]. Only a soft reset works to get touch flo going again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DefJamz:
do this:

backup your internal storage.

flash an official rom.

then flash macadam internally.

after it shows that the update is complete, do a hard-reset to format both phone and internal storage.

once everything is complete, it'll auto-create the necessary folders.

and you're good to go. that's what i do if there's too many bugs. this is also to ensure that the unit is clean prior to installation.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] henk2484:
You do not necessarily have to reset. You can get into "Settings>Today". In here disable TF3D and press OK (top right). Now enable TF3D again and you're good to go.

Macadam was a type construction used in the laying of road surfaces, way back when... And an idea pioneered by John

there was water bound macadam at first then at some point tar was laid on top. so we got tar-bound macadam, later becoming know as tarmac. :D
