Proposed things to do

Hello all again,

the ROM development is successfully running forward. :) But there are several things I don't have a clear mind about. I hope you'll help me a little.

Bottom bar and position fixes :confused:

Because I've tried many options and nothing is perfect, I'd like you to help me with this problem:

Use ShowcaseSuite, which works pretty well but hangs when you switch folders in the Messaging app?

Or implement AMeBa with Position Fix and set Showcase (not Suite) to the Start key?

(Ameba is not perfect as well in its 0.7.1b version - some applications are not working when Position Fix is enabled).

Implement AMeBa without Position Fix and with Showcase (no Suite process) and Interceptor or any other app to fix position of some windows?

AMeBa with no Position Fix or another things (Manila is already fixed and Resco is usable even without this.)

Another option :)

Keyboard

We've got FingerKeyboard in our ROM but I was planning to include EzInput 2.x as well. It's working well but I'd like to hear your opinion:

Include both FingerKeyboard and EzInput

Only FingerKeyb

Only EzInput

Other option? :cool:

Opera Browser :o

You all know Opera Mobile very well... Last time I've removed it from our ROM for you to be able to install the version you like. Now I'd like to add it again as a CAB - but which version? Or shouldn't I do that? :confused:

That should be all for now. If you have some tips, what to make into the next ROM... Feel free to post ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Soxiz:
Hello PaulosCZ

1: I am unsure about which option works best. So to this one i just think you should decide what works best and go with that.

2: I think to keyboards are to much. I would go with EzInput since it support multiple languages. And I like it better then Finger. Also please remove all those MS keyboards! :)

3: I am all in for you including opera as long as we can uninstall it when a new version is released. Currently i would take one of the 10 betas since they work so much better then 9.x.

Best regards

Mads
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Thanks Mads, I'm glad for every response.

Anyone else? :) You can find questions on the previous page. But basically:

1) Showcase, AMeBa, Interceptor, their combination or anything else?

2) FingerKeyboard or EzInput? Or both?

3) Include Opera as an uninstallable package? And which version?

I'd like to have several opinions - if you don't know what the 1st question means then you don't have to respond it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jprosen1:
definately EZ keyboard ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jprosen1:
hey, I just flashed you new rom and now I'm stuck on the "align screen" at first setup..... can't go past this:(

I did mtty! screen responds perfectly, but when i'm done aligning i get "align screen" again and again and again,...

what to do?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Hi,

align screen shouldn't even appear. Did you try hard reset? Maybe you should try to download the ROM again. In the meantime you can try to flash the ROM again (maybe using another method) and see what happens.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jprosen1:
crap, I was afraid of that.... it's probably something wrong with the phone then... :(

I tried to flash 3 times with same results, then I flashed with "energy rom" same result, then with BSB Rom and I was able to set up the phone..... .

..... but if I go into settings ant try to align screen I't also gets stuck in a loop :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cabania:
1) Non

2) EZInput only (no MSM keyboard also)

3) Include Opera 10 B2 or better
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Which MTTY commands are you using?

set 14 0

task 29

task 8

That is the combination that should work flawlessly. No need to hard reset then.

See The definitive MTTY thread for more info...

The second option: If you can, create blank file called "WELCOME.NOT" (without the quotes, for example you can use notepad) and copy it into the root of Internal Storage (you can plug the USB cable in the align stage), and soft reset. This way the welcome screen will be bypassed. The calibration is already done, you shouldn't need it.

I really don't know how to help you more. I've heard that this problem is hardware-based - the display (digitizer) is screwed. Has your Diamond still some warranty?

BTW, if you want, try to align the display for 17 times, it should skip it then :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Thanksgiving

Great :)

EzInput vs. FingerKeyb vs. MSIMAR - 3:0:0

Opera 10 vs. Opera 9.7 vs. Opera 9.5 vs. No Opera - 2:0:0:0

By the way, did you notice this post's number? It's almost 1000 at this point!

That means it's time for some thanksgiving:

The main part of work was done by Mr.Makk who unfortunately doesn't own Diamond anymore so I've taken the development. Still, thank you Mr.Makk for this ROM!

Next, many people which do many researches, work on the Manila, other HTC and creating new helpful apps deserve a big thanks! Including amarullz, akeo, Kisja, programatix and many other people I don't remember right now.

Althrough I don't like Microsoft very much, they've made WM :) So thanks goes to their development team as well.

I also give thanks to you, you and also you :) for testing the ROM, giving responses and using it!

If you've donated, we give you a big thanks as well!

Expect D6q edition soon ;) (Q means quality (I hope :D))

Including new look (ok, it's just a background - but very nice!), Sense 2012, Album 3.2, EzInput with working keyboard switching, Opera 10B3...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jprosen1:
Thank you for helping, I will try your suggestions soon... To bad I don't have warranty anymore... This weekend i won't have time to do this, Next week I'll report if I had any success...

I used Mtty exactly as you wrote :\

17 times, haha LOL :D:D will try.

Thanx, you are really helpful

Anybody knows WM 6.5.5 with Sense 2.5.2012 WWE and running Max Manila (possible) without bugs and stable like AHEN D6p2?? :-) thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
To be honest, I knew about Max Manila but never looked on it. But now I did and...

And I said: OMG! I have to try this. Maybe the next AHEN will have Max Manila. Who knows :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Soxiz:
Hey PaulosCZ

How is it going with the next release? :)

/Mads
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Hi Mads,

unfortunately my Windows broke up yesterday (the mobile ones are just breaking :D) so I'm writing from the Gentoo Linux. The Ahen release will delay a little because of four issues:

1) Battery Draining - I'm not very sure where is the problem

2) RAM usage - HAIL NEW HTC SENSE! :mad: But otherwise it's not so bad ;)

3) Speed and Bluetooth Issues - not recmodding modules will probably solve this

4) Converting EzInput to landscape - almost done!

Oh and when I see you're a big fan of Ahen ROMs, wouldn't you want to be a "beta tester"? It would come in handy to have someone else to work with.

video call

i'm using ROM ahen D6p2...i had activate the 3G..but somehow VIDEO CALL and ERROR CONNECTION....sorry i'm new to diamond upgrade... anyway to fix this problem??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
I'm sorry but I don't understand you very much. What happened? You cannot connect to the 3G network? Then you have to go to Settings -> Personal -> Phone - and set up the correct 3G band there. Try different ones until you'll have success. Or you have activated it and now you cannot make any Videocall or Data Connection? I'm very sorry but we doesn't have 3G yet in our town so I don't know how to help you in this case.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Soxiz:
Hey PaulosCZ

I would love to help you with beta's. But you should know that my time is limited, and that i only run ahen without all that sense stuff. But if i can help i am up for it =)

AHEN D6q COMING VERY SOON!

​

Featuring:

build 23563

new and nice background

VGA Album 3.2 (thanks to Programatix) and cache on the Internal Storage (thanks to 4tune)

optional Opera Mobile 10 and Google Maps

VGA EzInput 2.1 (thanks to Nikoan89), functional keyboard switching (thanks to Programatix)

Sense 2012 with BG4ALL & Transparent Calendar - both optional

and more...

And if you ask why does one release take so much time?

1) I hadn't much free time in several past weeks :)

2) I want my ROMs to be very stable, fast, free of troubles and with lots of free RAM. That takes some time.

3) Every new WM6.5.x build brings new troubles :D

Very Frequently Asked Questions about this version of ROM:

I don't have enough RAM :(

You can do several things:

1) Disable Phone Canvas using the Dialer Switcher script in Start -> Utility. That will save you approx. 5MB of RAM.

2) Close unused apps using Task Manager or Showcase (can be triggered by holding Start softkey).

3) Use CleanRAM in the Start -> Apps folder.

I have a black background in Sense!

That's a known bug that hasn't been solved yet. Install this attached CAB file. The background should change instantly after installation. If it doesn't, reboot the device.

I cannot set the date in the Date & Time dialog! When I tap the arrow, nothing happens.

A known problem as well, probably only with this build. Tap into the field with date (day, month and year - NOT the arrow), then enter the correct info using software keyboard.

I don't like new Starry theme...

I have included the old Wooden background as well. You can select it under Start -> Settings -> Home.

When I want to show the arrows on the EzInput keyboard, nothing happens...

These won't work with EzInput 2.1, and I'm already working on their removal from the button image.

I would like to thank everyone for your support and testing the ROM with me! All of you are making the ROM better and I'm very glad of that. :)

And for the next time: Next release will be much sooner than this one ;)

hi,

i have tried to install D6q rom atleast 5 times..

each time it completes installation but hangs in diff xda_uc level and if i hard reset the device.. it starts all over again or hangs in boot screen..

going back to D6p2

let us know if anybody else face this or only me.. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Hi acharya.tejas,

first look there and do the MTTY format,

follow the instructions and flash the ROM again

then return back with the result ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] acharya.tejas:
thanks.. it worked..

cool / fast rom. great work.. thanks..

.. i cant change default fonts to calibri

.. not able to install dual clock for sense

please guide.

*** please make a rom with GTX theme ***

Battery

Dear PaulosCZ

Hi again.

In the last 24 hours i had 1 problem.

The battery drains in about 11 hours in standby mode.

From 10 pm the charge level was 99 percent.I did not use my mobile until

9 am.the charge was 11 percent.

Any idea?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
:) I'm glad it worked.

Calibri: SEARCH before asking - this post

Dual Clock is for Sense 2.1, I doubt it has been released for Sense 2.5 2012 - can anyone correct my words?

GTX theme? Heh, not now :)

You are right, the battey draining is definitely present. I couldn't test it with something else (my dear kitchen doesn't like me) but I have several guesses:

1) nasty WM build (I'll test as soon as my kitchen starts like me again)

2) backlight (70% of all battery draining)

3) HTC services and/or dialer (very unlikely)

4) HTC Sense (senseless to battery? I don't know yet - but probably not)

But it wasn't good in D6p as well... I have to look at it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] acharya.tejas:
Hi,

I have used same cab for calibri font.. but may be i used to install it just after first boot. this time i have done it after 3rd boot (after restoring backup) and then used other application for font change.

found GTX for sense 2.5 here and works great .. but CHTeditor does not work. and GTX lock screen hangs after some calls (may be can be tricked with CHTeditor but yet to find..)

--

now this time i searched for how to delete files from windows directory but found solution of 0 kb file only, but when i try to remove .cab files from windows folder it says files are on ROM so cant be deleted.

any suggestion ?!

thanks ..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
From that post Calibri font installed just fine for me and after soft reset I had it everywhere. It isn't necessary to install it during 1st boot.

That GTX skin is looking well, I cannot install it right now but I'll look on it.

Deleting files from Windows directory, if they are cooked into ROM, isn't possible. CAB files can overlay them, with a need of a soft reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
So...

I think this will be little announcement. No, AHEN for Diamond isn't ending! But because of troubles with my (not so much) beloved kitchen (platformrebuilder crashes and now I really don't know why), the next build will be based on D6p again.

Giant applications like Google Maps and Opera Mobile will be distributed separately in a pack you will just extract into Internal Storage. That will allow me to have smaller ROMs in the future and you will have chance to affect programs that will be installed.

Oh and it's time of vacations - you know what that means. My limited Internet and ROM activity. I just hope it won't be so limited like last time :D

Maybe there is going to be one translation surprise but not for majorities, I'm sorry :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thangkls:
@Dear PaulosCZ:

Unbelievable, I post a request last night and you release new rom today - so wonderful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
You name it, I've got it! :D

Well, it's not that simple. I probably could make a clean ROM, the question is WHAT I should remove and WHAT should stay. I haven't made myself clear in that. And what's worse, things that aren't included in the ROM can be slower and bigger in size.

But maybe you can help me :) How clean should "Clean" edition be?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thangkls:
@PaulosCZ:

Just test for a few mins and this is what I feel:

+ Nice background behind Sense.

+ Font is not good - I prefer Tahoma type ( or something like that which I don't know how to explain - my English is not good :( )

Some software should be removed ( people can install it as they want )

+ Spb Backup

+ Resco Eshould

+ Remove showcase - It doesn't work well on 6.5.5 - you should try Arkswitch

http://arkswitch.codeplex.com/

+ Remove Action Screen. I think you have to tab three time to accesc Action Screen is not good idea ( start menu / Utility / Actions Screen )

+ Remove Games ( you can not quit Chess by put Game / Exit )

Many more should be improved but I have to work now so I will report more later. I know that you make rom for yourself and you share it with us - but every one has his own taste about what they like , maybe you like it but I don't.

So could I have a request for :

1. A clean & lite windows 6.5.x ( as it was born by Microsoft and remove some unnecessary stuff like Help / Welcome / bla bla bla )

2. With Sense 2012 ( due user can not install it by them self - need to be cook on Rom ) . Maybe you should make some version like Sense 2.5 / Sense 2.1 / Titanium if you have time and you want to do it ?

3. And litter customize by your to make rom faster and more eye-candy ( but could you make it to be removalbe for in case that some one doesn't like it )

4. One more - I have no idea about how to cook rom - but could you release your base kitchen with Sense 2.5 and I can remove some package for my self ?

Thank you once again for what you've done

:)

PS: I'm a fan of GTX and this is what your rom looks like on my Diamond ( need more time to customize to GTX style )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PaulosCZ:
Thanks for your opinion! But now I'll respond:

1) And I thought the font is nice! Of course I can change it but you can change it yourself... :D

2) Spb Backup - well I could distribute it as a CAB in the next version

3) Resco Ex - I think this particular app should stay in the ROM. I like it as a file and registry explorer!

3) Showcase - Lol :) I've replaced the ShowcaseSuite with AMeBa - but Showcase app is still there (Suite was the problem) so it can be triggered by holding the Start softkey. I have tried the ArkSwitch before - it looks very nice. I'll consider adding it.

4) Action Screen is set on the right softkey when using Titanium. However it seems to have some troubles when we talk about Wi-Fi toggling.

5) Game-Quit exits the game for me. (You're probably talking about Hearts - you can get out using Home key.) And even if it doesn't, it eats so little memory you don't need to care about it.

6) Because these games don't require Internet connection and sometimes we (I :D) want to play, I won't remove them. Not in the full version. But we can talk about the Lite...

7) Lite ROM. It's the thing I wanted to do for so long time.

8) And with the Sense... hmmmmm.... :) I was searching for Sense 2.1 but I'm not exactly sure where to find it. But it would certainly lowered RAM requirements.

9) Faster & more eye-candy? & less RAM eating? These things separate out themselves! The GTX theme - like anything based on Co0kie's Home Tab - eats additional 8 MB of RAM which is the cost we cannot afford in the Diamond ROM. (Unless you shutdown the HTC Dialer Skin - or switch to 6.5.)

10) Maybe I'll release the basic kitchen... Who knows :confused:

Oh and you're welcome, I do this ROM for all people with Diamond.

Dear PauloCz

Thanks for new Rom.

I decided to invite myself into your dialog.

I do agree with you both in different parts.I belive that Resco Exp. is one of

functional softwares and must be kept.

But i think some softwares,as our friend says,could be removed.

Many of them may be introduced as CAB file.

But i extremely believe that this is your Rom and you kindly share it with us.

Thx again and good luck.

Hey meteorain08,

you will probably need to set some options in Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone. Go to the Band screen and select Auto as your network type. If that doesn't help, you should try to set some of the frequencies in the second dropbox. (Not sure which ones - no 3G network is running in the place where I live :( ).

Hi meteorain08 (is that your real name? :)),

I got it to work as follows:

- Choose Settings/Personal/Phone from the Winmobile start menu.

- Go through the the Options pages until you arrive at BAND.

- I selected GSM.

- I selected UMTS (850+2100)+GSM(900+1800) and clicked OK.

- I clicked OK when warned my current connection would be disconnected.

- Nothing worked :eek:.

- However I simply returned to the Band screen and selected Auto and Auto.

- I then tried to connect and hey presto, Got my 3G connection.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] meteorain08:
If ur phone can connect to the PC, try to download Ahen ROM or any other ROM to ur storage, rename it to "diamimg.nbh" and boot it. If cannot, just do hard reset or sth to bring ur phone back to factory setting... :D hope this will work :D

Hi kingyuan,

you can try hard reset - but becuase it may not help, do rather MTTY format and then flash the ROM again. Follow the steps in this thread.
