[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Says the newbie...

100 megs of RAM is not "limited" to you ? When the software I put in this ROM is really designed to run with 288 ? It reminds me of my 4 year old HTC Excalibur with 64 megs of RAM running WM5 that constantly ran out of RAM!!

Fact of the matter is.. my ROM is too loaded with pretty graphics for the Diamond's RAM to handle it. I WILL see what I can do about it in one last effort...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rumbles:
Ok everyone, calm heads please.

nrg, your ROM is great, and like you said some of your software is designed with the raphael in mind. This is were I feel the only problem is. Everone needs to forget that the diamond and raphael look similar and behave in a similar fashion because that is where the similarity ends.

The Raphael is a much more powerfull device with more RAM and more ROM. that combination lends it self well to the way you like to design and customize your ROM nrg. However the diamond has less RAM and less ROM. Ture we have 4GB of internal storage, but, HTC did a silly thing here, that internal storage does not count towards the size of the ROM and this is the problem. Everyone wants to fit the same amount of software that you can on the Raphael on the Diamond. You can't do that.

I agree with nrg that the diamond is underpowered, not in a technical sense because it still manages to beat the iphone performance wise hands down, but from an aspirational sense. We want so much and can only do so little.

So everyone, stop asking when a new version will be released. Have a little respect for the cook. You don't walk into a restaurant and tell the chef how to run his kitchen, the same rule applies to ROM development.

nrg you are doing a great job. Keep it up. Don't give in. Perserverance pays off in the end. :) :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dario69:
Get over it. It is limited. I own a Diamond and Fuze. The memory is like night and day. EnergyRom rocks on the Fuze. It rocks on the Diamond as well but the memory kills it eventually. The bugs are limited to OS or lack of hardware to test with. And to be honest with you - this is a killer rom considering the chef has no hardware to perform QA against. The Diamond needs more ram, plain and simple. Move on to another rom if you are not happy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dario69:
I think you are right about the Diamond. That ram just plain sucks a$$. And so true about the Excalibur but boy did you make difference with your most recent rom given the small about of available ram and rom. Funny how ram is such a non factor with the standard smartphone version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ettaros:
Well , it may consume a lot of ram but this rom is somehow nice.

Let the guy do his job and bring us a new and updated one.

Lets see how we will comment on the last release he will make soon .

Cheers . .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ToxicWasted:
NRGZ,

What you have accomplished with EnergyROM for the Diamond is really spectacular, especially considering you don't actually own one. Yes, it might be bit tough on the RAM, but it's still more than fit for everyday use. (TIP for people who run out of memory: set CLEANRAM to run every hour or every 3 hours.)

Please, be the bigger man here and continue updating your ROM's, don't let the people who can't live with the Diamond's limitations ruin this.

Good luck and thanks for what you have already done for us Diamond users (and of course the rest of the XDA community.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SledgeHammer77:
I have been on this forum for quite a while but I never bothered to post before. I am doing it now because I wanted to thank NRGZ for the great job he's done on this room. I used many different roms but this one is the best I have found so far. I don't care much about the ram usage because I can clean it once in a while and I don't use my phone 24/7 so it's not an issue to me. There are a few bugs that prevent this rom from being the holy grail for my diamond so I hope that you continue to work on this project despite the hardware limitations. Not every rom is good for everyone so, yes, I'm sure that there are a lot of people that find it too demanding on their phones but for me, and I'm sure for many others, this is the best rom around. Whatever you decide to do with this project, you did a great job so far. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 17-apg:
And I agree as well. The 2009 0605 6.5 ROM is great and I use it on my Diamond. The RAM issue does not cause any concern for me and I would consider myself a fairly heavy user. Thank you so much for this and I really hope you continue to fine tune this ROM for us as time passes. I can see the speed difference in 6.5 over 6.1 and it makes the experience of WinMo so much better. And yes we can't please all of the ppl all of the time and we are not here on this earth to try to achieve it either.

Many thanks again and keep up the very good work.

08 - Long SMS messages truncated in TF3Dv2 (skinned) threaded view

08 - Long SMS messages truncated in TF3Dv2 (skinned) threaded view

State: fixed since build 60509

The main TF3Dv2 messages panel shows the usual truncated version of a SMS - that's normal. But when you click on it, the new skinned TF3Dv2 threaded view is opend and then you can't read it completely ether, because it is truncated again. For now the only solution is to select "All Messages" soft-key and then open the message again. Then the old WM default threaded view / single message view is opened and you can read everything! The question is: a bug (TF3Dv2, HTC, NRG) or a feature (just an threaded overview)? And hangable/fixable?

===============================================

To resolve this issue click on this link and replace 47dd6acd_manila in the \Windows folder of you Diamond.

any solutions?

What you mean mate? You installed another keyboard or the rom's keyboard numbers are not working??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
Just a suggestion

I've been doing some extensive ROM-testing and did let the boss know about my views privately. However, I thought that I'd ask you guys and girls about my suggestion.

[on a separate note, and before I go any further, I'd be very pleased if someone with a good knowledge of MS OS tells me what merits does WM6.5 "technically" and "professionally" have over WM6.1 ?]

- The ROMs tested were of all sorts of builds (old and new) and versions (naked, full, half-naked, sexy ...etc.) on both OS (6.1 and 6.5) with different manilas (stock, HD, TF3D2) or without manila.

- In almost all cases (even the stock ones without any fancy stuff) the Diamond usually sucks and never performs superfast; because Diamond was initially designed for "Looks" and not for serious performance.

- But "relatively" the perfornance of Diamond on WM6.1 seemed to be always more acceptable than on WM6.5

- Like all of you I was convinced that whenever TF3D2 is loaded on Diamond (regardless of OS or Build) it takes all the device's resources and kills its performance gravely.

- But then I came upon this ROM (which I'm using for a few days now) that was based on WM6.1 and had TF3D2 (with all the Topaz/Rhodium stuff) and to my surprise the momory at startup was only %48 ! Even after loading too many apps (including the ram-eater Tachi dialer) it still boots up at %48 or %49 and rarely ever goes higher than %65 at the peak of its work.

- So I came to this conclusion that the things that kill the RAM are neither TF3D2 nor the abundance of too many apps.

- I'm not going to comment on any other chef's rom here; but so far as Energy rom is concerned, I believe the two main memory killers are :

1. WM 6.5

2. The slick and beautiful graphics NRG uses in the rom

I believe even if NRG uses his excellent graphics on WM 6.1 (like he used to do for Touch Pro a few months ago) we will get far better results in the area of memory.

I know that all of you guys are religiously after WM 6.5 these days (which between you and I, is the worst invention of Microsoft) but unfortunately , it seems that a combination of Energy + WM6.5 will not work to our optimal satisfaction.

So my question is: IF the chef decides to release a test Energy ROM on WM 6.1 (which is very unlikely) are you all going to accuse him of being so "yesterday" and then assassinate him in broad daylight (or even throw yourselves off a tall building) ?:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] silverabyss:
no, i will not. to be truthful, i'd rather see the continuation of this ROM than it being stopped because issues that can be resolved. This is the ROM that I finally thought I could settle down with.... >.< probably the best one i have used ...

But, if 6.1 was used, would we still get that honeycomb structure for the start menu? from what i gathered, that's a new feature which came with WM6.5, and i find that one of the biggest improvement in the UI....

As for RAM,

I did try starting some apps before tf3d2 launched on the 060509 build... and after closing tat app, ram was at 77% and since then, it has been almost 2 days without a reset, and ram is at 85% at the moment... it certainly has improved because things were at 90% minimum before this.

hi, great rom, tho i have a question, its annoying me to hell, that i cant dial a number by pressing the "green" phone button,it only brings up the dial pad

and same goes with call history and favourites, is this a feature, a bug, or just a setting?

it would be great if i could use it as normal,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Hybrid_Halogen:
Anyone tested that new rom yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
Just flashed and started testing; so far :

suspiciously fast :D

slick and modern; state-of-the-art rom.

rock-solid.

simply put: any Diamond owner would LOVE to have it.

The resized menu is brilliant (finger-friendly & concise); excellent.

memory ? hmmm... well, not that bad:

- without "Phone skin", starts at %66 (it's functional in general) - not enough for youtube, though. and, of course,

as everybody knows

, without the "phone skin" you cannot call from People's tab.

- with Phone skin ~%75

Love it.

highlight BLUE? well, i'll always go for GREEN:p

Thank you boss

EDIT: GPS lock - Fantabulous !

- background for Tachi dialer - Lovable

- Wifi --> greeeeeaaaaaat

This build (21812) seems to be really promising.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iboumiza:
Just flashed the 12 June release and started testing; so far :

- the align screen menu is much much faster than all the other versions !!!

- the set up process crashes when installing Opera (red-reset button the reboot).

- rogers screen and nothing more (second red-button reset).

- restarting the setup process (opera installation is ok now).

- now freezing in installing 4.cab (another reset).

- now WM is launching and it's very fast.

- memory usage went from 83% to 65% with this release.

- another soft-reboot after shoosing the operator.

- i'm suspecting rebooting the Diamond when plugged by usb freezes it.

- after rogers logo, nothing more... so reflashing

- now everything is ok, all I can say is, it's really fast and less memory usage !!!

KEEP THE GOOD WORK MAN, THIS IS NOT YOUR LAST RELEASE !!!!!

PS:

- I have a Quad Core pc for games.

- I have a dual-core laptop if I want to do something else not in my home.

- I have a tomtom GPS if I want to go in a trip

- I have a TV if I want to see a movie

- I have a car if I want to hang with my friends

- I have a job, so I'm not 23h/24 playing with my Diamond

- I'm not trying to run World of Warcraft on my PPC

So for a guy like me, EnergyROM rocks like hell 'cause it keeps my battery life and that's all I want !!!

thank you again NRG ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Installing now. You were not parient enough with opera install and 4.cab as they do install ok, it's just that they take a minute or two.

Will report on what I find :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I don't use the Contacts tab, so how can I disable "phone skin" to save memory?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dario69:
Phone skin is already disabled by default in this version. Once enabled the memory usage jacks up of course but that is the case with any phone.

This one has a problem with the smarttouch features and autofocus with the camera. Funny thing is Opera utilizes smarttouch without a problem. Same issue with the 0612 Fuze version of Energyrom so I am sure NRG will fix this in the final version. Memory usage even with skin disabled is slightly better than before.

Personally I think NRG has done the best he can with the limited memory of the Diamond without sacrificing his work. In my opinion it is the fastest and nicest looking rom for the Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ahhh ok...thanks. I see it is disabled with Advanced Config.

I also noticed the lack of the autofocus in the camera.

NRG, you really have come up with a masterpiece with this one!

I have only been using Titanium versions since 6.5 was out, but this ROM has convinced me to go back to TF3D! It is so slick and fast.

Anyone that complains about RAM usgae should try other ROMS, everyone has the same problems. The Diamond can only do some much with it's limited hardware.

This is fantastic. Once the few bugs mentioned are fixed for the next release this one will be an absolute winner!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] goraps:
NRG do you have a titanium only version of the new ROM. I would love to test it out for you. That is if you have made it. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NRGZ28:
You can test the standard version if you REALLY want to test. Just disable Manila.

Yeah I noticed "smarttouch" is messed up somehow. I will get this resolved and add more "wheel" entries so it can be usable in more apps for tomorrow's versions. Tonight, I'm burned out... Cooking for so many devices is kind of starting to taking its toll on me.. sigh. But, you know, that can only mean one thing and that is bettering myself as a cook. There's nothing like experience when it comes to doing this stuff :)

Anyway, glad you guys like this 612 version. By the way, when using the WM dialer (as the tachi dialer is disabled by default)... what does the list of contacts look like IN the dialer window (the smart dial list) ? Is the old looking one with the black highlight bar and <m> <h> <w> stuff next to the number ? And for people that enabled the phone skin in Advanced config, did you get the nice tachi smart dial list or the same one as you saw in the windows dialer ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] goraps:
I was just asking since that is the build I have been using lately. I know no sweat I will try the new one and disable TF tomorrow if my kids give me a break.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I'm using the phone skin, I'm not sure what the tachami smart dial list should look like but I have attached screenshots. If you need any more, I'm happy to help out.

With the WM dialer, the smart list is invisible for me. I can see it change as I type more number and I can click in the blank space where they should eb and the contact loads, so it's just the text that is invisible for some reason.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Yep.. I thought it might do that. Attached is a cab that will enable the text on the dialer screen for you. I will have this fixed in tomorrow's release. Don't forget to uninstall this cab if you want the nice looking list in tachi dialer, otherwise you'll get the "normal" one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NRGZ28:
On another one note... 1008 downloads so far and only 3-4 people posted feedback on this 612 release ? Come on... Don't be leeches :). Come in say something.

i have just got up, i am downloading now.......many thanks for this update :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eto33:
Using german o2 xda diamond with radio v1.09.25.23.

Testing build 0612 for a few hours now, everything seems in order.

I noticed the htc calculator doesn't switch to landscape (scientific) mode with the g-sensor by default. (BsB G-config not running?)

The win-dialer invisible contact-list is already solved, I'm using the blue tachi dialer anyway.

No memory problems occured at this point; tf3d runs very smooth but I dont use it. When disabled the device boots with 65% ram usage. (Without tachi dialer it was 56%).

Installed various applications like Tomtom7, Pocketartist3, Spacetime2 ... run fast and stable.

When closing e.g. pocketartist3 after pushing the ram to its limits, it lands savely in today with 71% ram usage (Tf3d off, tachi on).

This morning battery showed the same % from 6 hrs. before.

I'm quite surprised and satisfied with your work, you brought very useable wm6.5 to the diamond, keep your good work going ... thanks and congrats.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JoniJi:
Happy

Hi, i'm testing this ROM right now. For me, the ROM is perfect. I love the programs. The Ram usage is a bit better, now about 75-80 and not 90. It is veeeeery fast and stable. "WorldCard Mobile" does not start. And the Lock screen is not working perfectly, but i think that this is a bug of wm6.5 .

Also, i have to say that i love the new blue highlight-color...

Keep on!!!!

i love your ROM's.

much respect

I installed the june 12th one, and it killed my diamond after one succesfull boot. It hung at network programming and now won't boot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NRGZ28:
That's because you don't install a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone. Read a little more before you blindly install something on your phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jnlkt:
Strangely I cannot call out from the standard installed contact list or from the manila contact tab. In fact I have to dial in the number manually.

Does anybody else have this pbl. And if so is there a quick fix???

Btw I use the 812 version and you wanted some input.

Other then that it is very fast indeed and seems to have no other problems to me.

Cheers J.

Probably the phone skin disabled pbl. I will try the contacts with the phone skin enabled.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jnlkt:
Ok it works once the phone skin is enabled. Btw I think I may have taken the contacts and the all people tab for the same thing. Seems that isn't the case.

So everything is fine here on my side and yes it is very fast....

Hmm, somehow Opera stopped working on the 60509 release, it keeps loading forever, and closing Opera results in a total freeze of the phone. Even after several (soft)resets. Didn't try a hard reset yet, but now I'm gonna try 61209 :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Zogito:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] excepti0n:
Tried it again... several hard resets and a few rom flashings later it's completely hung again on startup after working for about 5 minutes (hung on showing that fire bird flying out of a window).

Going to try another rom. It looked good when it worked (once). I look forward to the next version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] excepti0n:
Yeah, well maybe I do have a GSM phone. Have a little respect before you accuse someone.

I thought you would appreciate the feedback. I guess not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eto33:
What ROM did you have installed before? Try to flash your phones stock ROM, then hardreset, flash EnergyROM and hardreset again. This way I never had freezes or hung-ups with any rom I tried...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] excepti0n:
I had AZTOR X2 before.

After the first failed bootum, I flashed stock, hardreset and then installed EnergyROM 3.0. It does work, but only once. It'll hang at some point or other (flashed 3 times, and did about 10 hard resets. Hangs on either the bird-image without the 90-seconds text, the white Touch message with red text in bottom right or when doing the network-update. Can't get much further than that after primary boot.)

I'm trying Deepshining now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eto33:
Hmm... from the Android threat I know there are different versions of the diamond out there, which are not compatible with all android releases. This could be a reason why? Maybe you can find out more about this ...
