ARgh, stupid 500-internal-server-errors from XDA make it a pain to post and test :).

After playing around a bit with Macadam 1.1beta:

- Speed is once again impressive.

- I miss the HTC menu enhancement! (FingerMenu clone)

More weird: I hunted the forum around for the CAB and installed it,

but it isn't doing anything. The CAB that xboxmod included in his

Rhodium Manilla package refuses to install due to 'certificate missing' ?!?.

Did you enable the full-kernel-mode patch while Cooking?

- The ezinput you have included seems to be a recent version, neatly

with the new SIP menu to be able to select language. But without the

new menu enhancement it looks old :P.

- I did my usual trick to enable dutch xt9 language, and the language DID

show up. But when I type with xt9 enabled, _nothing_ shows up except

'spaces' and 'enters'. The bar where you normally would select the words

that xt9 offers doesn't show up, hence no letters appear in the input-field.

It does work with the default english language though. Did you skip some

word-databases? Dictionaries? Missing .ldb files? This works neatly in

udk's Syrius R2 so maybe you can poke him a bit to ask how he cooked

ezinput2 in? Could be a combination of old 1.5 dictionaries with the

newer ezinput2.

- The comm-mgr seems to be an older version. In the newer ones I've

seen you could for example click on Wi-Fi to get a list of wireless

networks, and click on the on-off switch next to it to turn it on/off.

And for example clicking on 'Phone' would go to the phone-settngs,

while clicking the on-off switch would turn the phone on/off.

It also has a HTC bluetooth headset-pairing builtin.

Did you leave it out on purpose or are you missing the OEM's :).

- The manilla start menu worked out of the box on Syrius R2, but

was inpossible to get working on Syrius R3. In the Rhodium Manilla

thread it was eventually said this was because of the ported OS.

Build 21018 / 21032 seemed to work ok, while 21038 / 21040

has broken start-menu issues. Maybe downgrade the OS build a bit?

edit:

- HTC Notification Enhancement. Some love it, some hate it. I love it :P,

but the thing is: The regular cabs do install, but have no effect (like the

menu enhancement cab). I'm still on the old 'Large Taskbar' thing,

instead of the newer notification screen. Any idea what's blocking it?

Really, I still can't believe how fast Rhodium Manilla starts :). I don't know if that's because of the overal speed of your ROM or the fact that this is the first cooked in version I try, but dang it's nice :). Maybe it's worth looking into learning to cook my own :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Yes it's really a big pain!.

I'm working on it, but forgot to backup my working Manila (so program tab works), so can't do anything right now. :/

It' sounds strange, because I have no problems to install it, but I can't see it! :/

And yes I did.

Haha. Well I know you guys do a trick, and you get dutch XT9, but this is a old version I have included.

Look at my post above. Now you guys can select it!

No all .ldb files are included. :)

Yes, I haven't included the new comn-mgr, but i'm working on it (to get it fully working).

But I do have the OEM :)

I will look at it, have already got 21032 ported succesfully. Will contact a friend for more knownledge! ;)

No I don't. But as you said by yourself, it might be the SYS/XIP there is my problem here. Will look into it!

Hehe, my rom is fast overal. That's why :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Hahaha, you were right. Looked into my Enlarge start menu, and im missin' it!. Would put the OEM in now, and test it!. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
Got my dutch xt9 working!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3458119#post3458119

Installed it, did my registry changes again... and tadaaah.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Superb! Going to try this too.

Can this be cooked in the next version? :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Sure it can, if it works like that one with arrrows I got on now :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
about ezinput2 and xt9

I searched that thread high and low for exactly the version WITHOUT arrows, but a version with is in it I'm sure.

It are all cabs though... never cooked something, but can you make an OEM file from a cab file somehow? By installing it and ripping the files + registry-entries out of it or something?

about Notification Manager / Enhancement

I don't know if it's interesting or danny already said he would fix it somehow, but I found a cab that makes the Notification Manager work on this 1.1beta.

The event-popups are still a bit screwed though. Instead of being too low and being cut off (because it was made for WVGA) they are now all the way at the top, but at least it's more usable :P.

I don't have the exact thread anymore, but it was the 'official' HTC Notification Manager / Enhancement thread in the Development & Hacking forum, and it was posted at one of the last pages.

Now I'm only missing Menu Enlargement (but no biggie because the menu's are working ok, just not as finger-friendly) and the start-menu-manilla link, but that's also no biggie because we still have the Programs tab.

I'm quite happy with it now, enough to drop udk Syrius for a while :P.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Hi there.

Yes I/you can do that, i'm flashing to this in a sec (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3458119#post3458119)

To see how it' works,.

I will try to find the Notification mang.

Im working hard to get it working, !, will find out after next flash :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catnip:
most excellent
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
If I can do anything, let me know!

ps, why do you need arrows on a keyboard? We got the Diamond! We got hardkeys, and with GScroll a capacitive area which can work as cursor keys :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
In what progress do you get the menu enchantment to work? Disable Program Tab, Manila Enable start menu, and then it work for u (with another rom?).

I don't, it was because it was that I got it working with. And just for update u guys!. Got it working with the no-arrows too! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Superb work! I'll wait for the new ROM to try it. That will also be the first time I use the method of automatic installing cab files on the Internal Storage :eek:.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Uhhh, :). Good luck, report !! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
I will report my findings when you uploaded a new version :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Great, not gonna be today. I'm working hard, but still need some cleaning ;).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Take your time! I got a feeling this is going to be the perfect ROM for diamond. For me it already is the best ROM for diamond!

Oh before I forget: are you going to cook all the fixes being used for example to solve the weather tab problem also in the ROM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
Let me first be clear about some terms I've used then, to avoid / resolve some confusion:

- Start menu enlargement: The (very) old HTC mod that makes the

start menu larger. Has been in HTC devices since before the Diamond was launched.

- manilla start menu: Clicking the start menu on the rhodium/topaz

shows the Programs tab from Manilla, instead of the regular start menu.

Clicking the start menu again shows the program where you were.

- Menu enhancement: The contact menu'ss (and softkey) menu's

made bigger, smooth scrolling and finger friendly. Kinda like FingerMenu,

but then HTC's own version (Microsoft put something like this in WM6.5 too).

The menu enhancement I didn't get to work yet on your ROM.

The manilla start menu I didn't get to work. I've got as far as other users here, namely it shows a complete empty manilla page instead of the Programs tab. I've got this far by using the 'tweak' cabs from the Rhodium Manilla ('Manila Enable start menu'), and after that the 'start menu fix' from page #1 of the Rhodium Manilla thread.

Turning on Manilla-start menu AND hiding the programs tab will leave you with a problem, because you can't really start programs anymore :P. I solved this by going to the settings tab, clicking 'all settings' and then assign button1 (hold) in the 'buttons' option to launch File Explorer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Nr 1, is fixed now. ;).

Nr 2, I don't understand complety. You press at the Start button in the left cornor and you get to program tab on Manila?

Nr 3, I can see I have included it into the rom, but as you say I/other's can't get it. Could you try a thing for me? Try the Xmodx Policy settings .cab, and see if it works. It's the only thing I haven't included, since it's so close to mine!

Again manila is to big troble :p.

Bytheway, look in your pm dipje :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
About the 'manilla start menu', look at this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN-FkHHyoqI&feature=channel_page

At around 1minute39 (1:39)

This works on Syrius R2 right out of the box the moment you installed Rhodium Manilla.

I already tried installing the Policy.cab file from Rhodium Manilla. Still no luck :(.

And I've read your msg :)... I'm searching my butt off :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Hmm strange, will try to delete everything. And install it all by .cab and see if it works. Will let u know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catnip:
same problem with the policy cab
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lorsaaa:
Have been playing with this beta today and again love it :) great job!

As already with v1.0 very impressed with the speed, works so smoooth:cool:

Memory leakage seems so be a bit more, but might be just a bit more memory usage? Not sure, still very good though, nothing to complain about :)

Battery life improved a bit, didn't survive the day, but that could be because I played with it a lot more than usual because of all the new cool functions haha :D

My youtube problem (and the camera-prob ) are gone, thanks! :)

A few bugs I've noticed:

-I remember reading someone having trouble launching File Explorer from the Programs tab, I can confirm that.

Seems to depend on were you place it tough. For example:

2nd row 1st place, here it doesn't launch.. but 2nd row 3rd place, it does launch! Very strange.

-My keyboard is acting weird. When I press the icon to hide the keyboard, it performs the last clicked button.. for example if I typed "Macadam!" and I want to hide the keyboard, it will add another "!" and only hide the second time I click it.

I installed another keyboard (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=460872&highlight=keyboard) Because I still like my compact qwerty haha. The bug seems to stay.

-Using the D-pad as zooming function in Opera and for photo's doesn't seem to work. Not sure if this is a bug, or is because it's not based on diamond rom?

-QuickGPS doesn't work for me, have been trying it a few times since this morning, still no luck. Says connection failed.

-When I open album through Photos and Videos tab, every photo appears 2 or 3 times (this only happens sometimes not every time). Also sometimes I cant select albums from internal storage.

-Activesync still pops up sometimes

------

!!The Clockcrash bug seems to fix when doing the Weather tab fix which some mentioned here!!

-Gsensor Calibrator and SensorSDK seem to work pretty good for me, just not in Manila and File explorer.. no problems in album though.

------

Will continue to play with it tomorrow and let you know if I find anything else.

The final version is going to be so awesome if everything works fine, since even this beta is already awesome! Thanks a lot! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Hi there.

Wow, first of all thanks for your long beta testing.

Well, mine survived the whole day, with some flashes and a bit playing around. ;)

I hope file explorer is gone now, because I got the whole OEM working package from Xmod himself.

The keyboard are changed in the new beta release, XT9 working WOW! And damn it feels nice. That I can write in my own lang. ;D

D-pad function is maybe my fault, will look at it tomorrow when i'm on my cooking pc.

QuickGPS I will look at, at the first tomorrow.

Album have been changed in the new release, so lets hope we don't have anymore of that issues.

Activesync is because of the build. I think I have fixed it in the new build 21042.

Clock & Weather tab is fixed now!, because of the package from Xmod

The SensorSDK is still the same, as I can't get it working on album witch I use alot! So haven't included it yet.

---

Just say if you find more, I will look at them right away. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
The first 5 items are by default set to specific Manilla tabs and ActiveSync. As far as I know, your not supposed to change them. The first slot you mention that it works in, is the 6th :). Someone on the Rhodium Manilla forum was complaning that he couldn't unlock the first five entries... kinda the same problem.

THANK YOU!! I couldn't lay my finger on it what it was. I thought it was just calibration issues or something else I was doing wrong, but I couldn't believe it. But it seemed such a strange bug that I thought it couldn't be the ROM. I also installed a different keyboard (different ezinput2 version) and I still have the same issue.

Confirmed, at least for Opera (didn't even try it yet). In the advanced options I changed the setting 'Identify as' from Handheld Device to Desktop Computer. Then I could at least zoom in by double-tapping, but the capacitive scrolling doesn't work. For that you need a Diamond skin, or even a special Diamond build... and this seems to be the normal 9.5 beta for other WM6.1 devices.

Confirmed.

Tried it but I don't have that issue. I've seen it two times or something, and it happened while browsing a folder with a VERY LARGE amount of images in it. Some other folders wouldn't show up until the large folder had finally indexed all the thumbnails. And some of the photo's (most of them) showed up two or three times. Thing is, this happened once on a Stock 2.03 ROM and once on udk Syrius R1.

Don't know what you mean with 'popup'... does it suddenly go to the foreground? I have ActiveSync running all the time, and use it for both OTA Push-connection with my Exchange server and syncing over USB cable every now and then... and it never showed unless I clicked it in the Programs tab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JesperBN:
I wonder if you could use another version of the FM radio, cause it looks like it doesn't fit the screen. I can't select stations :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Hm... Strange thing just happened. Tried to install the newest S2U2 (version 1.60). Normally it automatically removes the old version before installing the new version. This time I got the message that it was unable to install. So I tried to deinstall it manually at Settings/Remove Programs. This also didn't had any result.

As a last resort I softreset my device. When starting up, everything was removed and I had to go through the installation proces of aligment and stuff. Very strange.

Edit: Had to hard reset my device to get it functioning properly again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Hi there.

Have replaced it to the stock, as long the rhodium fmradio not worked fully.

I agree on that one, don't know it could cause yet, im soon finish with my beta 2, then you guys can test it :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
I'll wait in full tension :) ;)

Edit: Just donated some coffee to you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catnip:
im going to have to go to bed for a while in preperation, fridays are great beer tunes and a fantastic rom to test what more could one want
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lorsaaa:
Hi, no thanks! Taking our time to test isn't as hard as you putting so much time in making this great rom :cool:

Haha, yea I did play with it a lot, I had HSDPA or wifi on almost all the time yesterday, so it's not weird :) I don't usually do that so I think mine will survive the day with normal use too ;)

Yes its indeed very nice feeling to type in your own language haha :D makes it so much easier! Looking forward to try this new keyboard.

Good to hear you already have a solution for most of the probs :)

Weird that sensorSDK doesn't work for you, but it's no problem since we can always manually install it if necassary.

ahh, I see, thanks! Really didn't know that, still it's weird then that only File Explorer doesn't seem to launch but every other program does :confused:

Hahah it was frustrating me too! Took me a long time to find it out.

Anyways, I was just reading a bit through a few topics and came across a few posts from people who have the same problem as us! They are using Cloudy 1.1 rom.. You can read their posts here from page 26 to 28 or something they are discussing this, no solution found yet though, but guess it's interesting to follow or join..

Hmm I see, I will try putting some photo's in folders then so there won't be as much photo's in that one. See if that helps.

Sorry, maybe used wrong word, I just mean that everytime I check (Advanced) Task Manager, activesync is there running in the background. If I close, after 10 min. or so it gets back. But it seems Danny has fixed it in the new version :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catnip:
07080866RT1802943 as i said before have a coffee on me dude thanks for all your hard work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Thank you.

Still working hard, but it' is the comm manager. There is screwed up now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JesperBN:
How is it going with the newest beta, can't wait to try it :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Havin' strange problems with comm manager, maybe tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Good luck with it. We'll have patience.

By the way: has my coffee reached to you? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Thanks, flashing almost stock rom now, think it's my SYS folder there are the big troble, or atleast I hope!

Have got "some" donations, so im preaty sure, yours is there too :)

And Thanks to all who support my work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Going to sleep now. Hopefully my Diamond get's a update ROM tomorrow :cool:. But just take your time and don't get rushed by our enthousiasm ;).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Trust me, I don't ;). Well just tried to get the Comm manager working on stock 2.03, no luck. Still same issue?..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rafael1000:
I wait for beta 2 to try your rom, actually I have AZTOR but yours seems promising... Cannot wait to have it!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rafael1000:
I tried 1.1 beta 1 and no theme like pictures and a lot of bugs, but prometting!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Well, if you look at it. It's the newest theme, and there are only one theme atm, to the new manila. So can't use the old theme. :/

It have some bugs, but most is fixed now. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Any luck already on the CommManager? Or is it a hard nut to crack? ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] catnip:
maybe we would could help by threatening to beat the comm manager to death unless he works for Danny,just a thought (-:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
danny, are you having problems with the _NEW_ comm manager? Or are you having problems with using _any_ comm manager? If it's only the NEW one, maybe it's an idea to just let it go and put the old one back in for now?

ps. I kinda dove head first into the cooking / modifying roms thing last night to have more of a clue what it is you guys do. I spent quite some time developing linux drivers to contribute and for work I design/program embedded devices.. so I thought I wouldn't have a hard time grasping it... but dang, that whole XIP/SYS porting thing to get a newer WinCE OS build isn't described properly anywhere, and a simple thing has removing Google Maps destroyed the 'first boot install' thing... broken ROM :P.

In other words, respect for the work you chefs do :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
No not yet, tried to get it working but I can't. Even on stock rom, will figure out something.

I'm only having problems with the new comm manager,. I could, but want to get it working :).

Ahhh, :). Well you have to go to configAP folder and remove googlemaps for the .txt file ;).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dickenz:
Maybe ask udK as he has the new Comm Manager working on 2.03 and 2.04?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Will try that. :)

Gonna take a break now, only slept 4hours.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deket76:
Hello Danny,

Do you have already an idea when we could test your beta2 version?

I like very much your hard work.

regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
I wrote it yesterday actully, but after shutdown of the server. You can't see it, I except I will release the full release TODAY!. But it depends on, if I get the rom fully working.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dickenz:
Great to hear Danny.

I await anxiously.

Sucks that XDA got smasht :( - Missed your BETA2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Actully I haven't released any beta2. But this is so close to perfection. That it don't need a beta ;).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
Great to hear that.

But less happy news: I had the same problem this morning as I had posted before. S2U2 didn't wanted to start again. When starting ThumbCal, it had a different lay-out (bigger fontsize, other topbar). So I did a soft-reset and when it loaded WM with the original taskbar (blue bar and stuff like that).

Very strange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
I'm sorry to hear that.

But as I don't use S2U2. I can't see that mistake. Hope it's fixed in the new one. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deket76:
Great, Super news I hadrly can't wait for installing it;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Aafjes:
I hope so! Good luck cooking with the i.m.h.o. perfect diamond ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deket76:
Good evening Danny,

Do have have some troubles for launching your second version?:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny_and_2:
Yes I have'. Unforntuly there have been a BIG Downtime on XDA today. And I need a package from my friend, that does not use msn. -.-

So I couldn't get contact to him, and also. He haven't recived my PM from yesterday. So he didn't even noticed I have'd writed to him!

I will maybe release the Rom tomorrow, if everythink works after my head.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lorsaaa:
Ahh that's a pitty..

But great to hear it's already going to be the final version! Really looking forward. Awesome job man, bet you worked your a** off haha:cool: respect :D

So this version will already mainly be bug free and with everything working? :eek: sweet
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deket76:
I understand. I've tried a lot today on xda but it wasn't available. I really like your work, it is why I tried the all day.

Hope that the system, internet of XDA will work well tomorow.

I hope that you will, "can" put your second version tomorrow.

Have a nice night and see you tomorrow
