[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] s1m0n.lfs:
Well I'm sad to say but all the ROMs I have tried in the past couple of weeks haven't worked for me...

The story of my ROMs experimentation starts with T-Mobile Vario III and T-Mobile customized ROM. In short, like a worst nightmare! New version of T-Mobile customized ROM, nothing happened, everything was exactly same as with previous version.

Then I finally decided to try couple of WM 6.5 ROMs which worked like a charm but WM 6.5 is beta and half of the stuff in it is unfinished... Back to 6.1...

Than: HyperDragon (a few variants), shifu, Paradox, AthineOS, TPCExtreme, Ultimate-X... Mostly SuperRam ROMs... Hundred of pages in topics, dozens of fixes, black screens, restarts and so on... Applications that I don't need, folders confusingly organized, startup and bootup screens that don't fit to one business phone, black background icons (what's wrong with WM icons with transparent background) and so on...

Currently using stock HTC ROM and it works. It is sluggish but my device doesn't restart and I don't have to install at least 5 programs or fixes to make him work...

My question: Can someone point me to ROM that works without reading through 100 pages of topics and installing fixes for stuff that should work like notification and volume control? I use my Kasier as a business phone and primary e-mail reading device and I can't afford for my Kaiser to be offline for couple of hours (not to mention a day) and don't have time to read thousands of posts of "how-to-fix".

What do I need? Messaging (SMS and e-mail with notifications working), Opera, iGO, working Volume control, Bluetooth and jog wheel to be able to quickly quite my device if in a meeting or to change the volume of speaker when in a call.

I don't mean to disrespect all the chef's around and I do appreciate your work because for most of people around here you make their Kaisers work the way they should work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
If you want you machine to work right off the rip I would stay with a stock rom. while all the roms here are great unforseen prob do come up. While the cooks try to help fix it they do it for fun and have other matters to attend to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bbdoc:
I totally agree...

Anyway, if you look at the way PDACorner organized his post, you'll see that on post #2, there is a list of known bug with links to all fixes... This is really a way of organizing things that I personnally like very much and can save you from reading 1000s of posts for getting the info...

Flashing is for those of us who want to make our phones perfect, the best Apps, the best speed, the very best function and style. We don't mind a little work to or reading to get them " exactly " the way we want it.

I have worked at getting My phone perfect ( also a business phone ) and it is. None of the problems that you seem to think are inherent in every cooked rom.

You sound to me like the stock rom type not the cooked rom type. Do it HTC's way and stick with the stock rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] K-Paradise:
There is a huge difference between stock roms and cooked roms. Stock roms are meant to work flawlessly, without bugs and without too many additional software. The default configuration will work, will (most likely) not crash, but won't do anything fancy either. It might also be slow at times.

Cooked roms are made for those who would like to experiment. People who don't mind a crash now or then, and don't mind to reflash every day/week/month (tick the one that applies ;)).

If i would use my phone for business purposes i would probably stay with the stock ROM or flash a stable 6.1 ROM, like PDACorner's.

Nevertheless there is no such thing as a perfect ROM. Every ROM has it's advantages as well as disadvantages. Live with it; Windows Mobile just isn't a perfect mobile OS, while doubting the fact any OS can be...

I switch ROM's on a regulary basis. Basic functions always work, no matter the ROM. I flash because additional features work better/faster/more stable on certain ROM's than others. But this requires some of your time, to flash and set everything up again.

The fun is that all of this is up to you. :) If you like to experiment, then flash as much as you like until you find something you like. There will always be certain flaws where you will have to live with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
There is no such thing as perfect ROM! Always remember to keep flashing and keep reading!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Work flawlessly :confused: Without bugs :confused: The Default configuration will work :confused:

What stock rom were you using :D

Do you also think that Vista is flawless and without bugs :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] K-Paradise:
Read, my friend. I said they are meant to work without bugs and work flawlessly in a default configuration. You won't hear me say that they always do. ;)

Nevertheless the stock ROM will in most cases do sort of everything the way it is meant to be. The change of finding broken application links or errors from mortscript i.e., is pretty small, if not none. And if these errors do appear, you've obviously bought a phone of bad quality.

This said, i'm not using a stock ROM myself. In that case i wouldn't reply to this topic. ;) I'm someone, just like the rest here i suppose, who likes to switch to the newest, even though the quality might be worse then what i've had. But i'm always in for something new, which you might not be if you're using you phone for business purposes and do very much rely on the call quality, for example.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
It's simple really either you stick to stocks or you become a flasher :eek: @ which point you will flash untill you find that ROM that you know can be used every day and still carry on flashin to try find a new better ROM if you don't like or got bugz you flash back to your every day ROM......

If it all seems tooo much and your a person who can't problem solve "read" and also put in the time to set up device as you wish then a stock is best bet.

Goverment Health Warning:

After flashing you may suffer from Flashers OCD!!! :D

Then you have one last choice in picking up a kitchen and learning to cook your own rom, but above warning still applies.

yes

As it has been said, rom flashing is personal preference, please find the perfect one for you whether it is a oem or custom rom through searching and flashing.

I'm having an issue where whenever its plugged in, the voice command sound plays every few seconds, thinking i'm giving it a voice command when i'm not, i even have the damn thing turned off!

I'll have to look into it and see if anyone else has the same issue i do.

I am very happy with my device and have very few things to wish...

One think hoewver I would like is to use IGO in landscape format. But I cannot seem to get IGO 8 in landscape ... (together with HGPS !!! for TMC)

Is there anybody who knows what I am doing wrong ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ziko:
Open your data.zip,open ui_igo8 folder,look inside if there is a folder with your desired resolution. Oficially iGO8 supports only QVGA and VGA resolution. There are patched PNA versions around the internet, ported from PNA-s,good luck! Take a look at Amigo,this soft support fully PDAs

http://i-go.com/amigo/overview.php
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Sympax:
You can set "landscape" in the menu of IGO, I just find it...:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] PetoG:
landscape

So simply... In iGO menu you can find landscape mode :)))))
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Lamsebamsen:
I can't get IGO8 to work on my D2, and their website doesn't list the D2 as a supported device...

How did you guys get it to work, do I need a work-around of some sort?

Thanks in advance :)

But in my case, the picture do not cover the whole screen. Only me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] roosen:
i cant get igo 08 working on my td2 it wont start up wath is the probleme i dont understand
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cassper1:
same here,it leaves me with a black stripe on one side, it looks like it only does 640x480 instead of 800x480. Any suggestion?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BettyWeter:
I have been struggeling with this for a day, and when I found the solution it was actually very simple. This will definately work with one of the latest versions, so make sure you get iGo8-V8.3.2.83157 PDA or iGo8-V8.3.2.91972 PDA.

Once you've installed iGO8 all you need to do is edit the file called sys.txt and add the following lines:

[rawdisplay]
class="landscape"
driver=GX ;GDI or GX
highres=0
screen_x=800
screen_y=480
stretch=0

Now, the problem I had was that I was editing the WRONG sys.txt file. I was editing the file in the iGO8 folder on my SDCARD, but you should edit the file located on your device. On my phone it is located under \Program Files\iGO8. If you edit the sys.txt on your SDCARD, nothing happens!

p.s. Anyone know the difference between GX or GDI driver mode?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chch:
GDI is the Graphical Device Interface.

GX is a Windows Graphical library that was used on QVGA. In theory it could be faster on VGA as it simply doubles up pixels. GX is basically older technology so may have compatibility issues.

I am guessing that setting 800 x 480 in GX mode is telling it to paint in WVGA based on WQVGA. This would be faster but not as nice to look at. If IGO can't produce VGA (only QVGA) then it makes no difference to quality though.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] harisg:

I got this message after copy-paste your sys-settings: "Failed to open file: ui_igo8/800_480/main_scheme.ui"

any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] harisg:
Morten....consider that my mistake...

I forgot to tell you to

1) use the version of data.zip that LZF created (more than 30 MB)

and

2) use a skin that supports 800x480, like:

http://www.gurjon.com/download/index.php?dir=OLD_SKIN/&file=gj5.11_800x480.zip

Now I think your problems are solved
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cassper1:
This works a treat for me.. iGO now works in landscape mode, but only in landscape mode, there is no way to switch between portrait and landscape mode. I guess a fix that would enable switching portrait - landscape doesn't exist..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BettyWeter:
Switching between landscape and portrait in the iGO8 menu will probably not work, but you for portrait mode you can use the following settings in the sys.txt file:

[rawdisplay]

class="portrait"

driver=GDI

highres=0

screen_x=480

screen_y=800

stretch=0

Switching might work if you use a device setting in the sys.txt file, but I haven't tried that yet. Will report back if I get any results.

HAH! Result :) If you remove the whole [rawdisplay] part and just enter the following lines, you get 800x480 and get to switch between portrait and landscape:

[device]

type="ALIAS_XPERIA"

iGO8 will now think you are running it on an xperia, but I don't think that will be a problem...

As a bonus, but that is personal, I can now dim the backlight when it's night with the xperia settings!! I have been waiting for a feature like that for ages, but have been running iGO8 on a Asus 636 and I don't think that device supports that feature. Now all I need is a proper car-mount and I can start using my TD2 for navigation :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] well0549:
This is awesome.... Thos XPERIA settings are great !

If I hold the Phone vertical when I startup it's landscape....

If I hold the phone normally it's Portrait...

( Too bad it wont's switch with G-Config automatically like tomtom )
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Ddriver:
Can you please the full SYS.txt in this place post. Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BettyWeter:
I just found out that in the latest version of the data.zip file there is also a configuration for the TD2. You can also use the following setting, but i'm not sure if there is a huge difference.

[device]

type="Touch Diamond II"

Ddriver, I use the following sys.txt file:

The only thing I added was the [DEVICE] entry. Please note that this will only work with the latest PDA version of iGO8 (see version number in one of my previous posts) or with edited data.zip and branded.zip files.

sys.txt

hi, just tried this sys.txt to my iGo8 setup and there's a big difference compared to mine. here's mine--

and this is yours--

:-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BettyWeter:
That is odd, the sys.txt i'm using now gives me crystal clear 800x480 graphics while on your device it seems to be using lower resolution graphics. Perhaps we are using different data.zip files?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BettyWeter:
That is because the [DEVICE] option does nothing more then 'add' a few lines to the sys.txt file in the background. For the xperia settings, it adds:

[device]
SDCard_dsk_num=7

[gps]
port = 4
baud = 38400

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
autoconfig=1

For the Touch Diamond II settings, it adds:

info_names="Touch Diamond II"

[gps]
port=4
baud=57600

[device]
SDCard_dsk_num=7

[power]
backlight_manage_values=1
backlight_max = 10
backlight_min = 0
backlight_reverse = 0
backlight_key_bright_BA1 ="Brightness"
backlight_key_bright_AC1 ="ACBrightness"
backlight_key_timeout_BA = "BatteryTimeout"
backlight_key_timeout_AC = "ACTimeout"
backlight_key_ontap_BA = "BacklightOnTap"
backlight_key_ontap_AC = "ACBacklightOnTap"
backlight_key_on_BA = "OnOff"
backlight_key_on_AC = "ExtOnOff"
backlight_methods = 1 , 25
backlight_events = 1, 5, 7
backlight_slow_api=1

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
autoconfig=1

[interface]
use_big_lang_flag=1

So, in conclusion, I think we can say that you can either edit your sys.txt adding:

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
autoconfig=1

or specify a [DEVICE] setting. Basically both ways should work, providing you have the proper data.zip file.

Not sure what the 'highres=1' does though... in most sys.txt files i've seen people have set this to 0 and it doesn't look 'lowres' to me then.

Hi it soved

I had to do a soft reset.

Is it possible to have it flipping between live (follow gui) or its only possible when starting?

For me it only possible when starting and select the screen view i would like from the start
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BettyWeter:
According to well0549's post it is possible to have iGO start in landscape or portrait based on the way you hold your TD2 (g-sensor), but I haven't been able to get that to work.

I don't think it's possible to change between portrait and landscape using the g-sensor when iGO has already started. Only way to switch is to change the settings, which automatically restarts iGO.

Do you mean SMS or MSN Messenger?

if its SMS you can change the option between Threaded which is what your describing or classic, look in your sms options I have upgraded my Rom and its a different process but same outcome.

I believe when you open an sms you have the options there, or in your settings someone with an original or similar Rom will answer more correctly sorry

Another option is HD Tweak its a great tool with lots of options sms viewing is one of them find it here http://www.montecristoff.com

I'm experiencing reception problems with my phone. The first two weeks this was not a problem but end of last week and yesterday and today I'm having troubles with the phone. I have between 2-5 bars (average 3) when talking and I'm always calling from the exact same location and same room (working from home).

The problem is that after a few minutes I can't hear the other person. The person calling me can hear me without problems but I can't hear him. So I hang up, call back and the same happens after a few minutes.

Hi,

Is there any way just to extract the Radio upgrade ?

I have my Diamond 2 in french, and want to keep it like that.

I wrote to the french HTC Support, and they just ask me to :

- Hard reset the phone : Done and useless

- Change the sim card : not done as the sim card I used is completely new

- Disable encryption : disabled and useless....

So the only solution will be a radio upgrade only.
