Very nice indeed!

Bottom bar looks great IMHO, not sure about the top bar though... I guess the white text and icons wouldn't play nice with a top bar background in the same colour as the bottom bar, but maybe a gradient of some kind would work?

How's the stability and useability of the 23518 build? Looking forward to the final product!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] federaly:
Dear shadow please post/upload so I may download straight away XD

haha looking forward to your next release. IMHO I am loving the bright white, I ALWAYS have my brightness setting to max 24/7.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jyrg1:
The bottom bar is very nice indeed, but the topbar is a little dull. Looking forward to the release! Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zarpy:
just being careful

Iam very cautious person it looks like an awesome rom but how do i know it doesnt contain viruses or spyware. I dont want the coolest ROM and a empty bank account hahaha. Is there any way to officailize this proof of no spyware.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jyrg1:
You could trust the words of about everyone who've contributed to this thread (who almost certainly have tried this ROM already, and still have their money). It's your choice, and if you choose not to, it's your loss. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
im with him:p

btw the top bar could use with some new icon art imho....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
Yep, I also like the bottom bar very much, but the top bar could definately use some new icons. Maybe the tab bar, too. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bonethug_51:
looks nice shadow. would be good if the icons on the top bar are changed as well :)

Hi Shadowline, like the new WMWhite theme :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] berryblack:
expires 5/1/2010

Does this ROM really expire on 5/1/2010 as it says on the wallpaper?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wez89:
no it doesnt
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
Is it possible to download a norwegian languagepack for your ROM, Shadowline? I'm thinking of WM lang, not HTC Sense.

I'm loving the backarrow and the cancelbutton on the bottom on your ROM, and I hate that little x and "ok" in the top right corner of the original ROM from Microsoft and HTC.

The problem is that I'd really like it to be in norwegian and with norwegian T9.

Can I use Dutty's Mulitlang ROM, to copy a lang file over to your ROM? And where can I find this language file on Dutty's ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
It will expire as soon as a new rom is flashed to your phone. :D

I am unsure about any language porting really, you can probably find a t9 pack for the ezinput in the rom, but the WM apps i believe need to be cooked with the lang.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] federaly:
New ROM

How soon can we expect it Shadowline :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] User_99:
As usual. Flashed your ROM, restored all data and then you publish a new better one :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
Hi All!

Did somebody meet this problem???

If I would like to add an favorite contact the ROM will be useless. And the soft rest can not fix this. If I do anything the ROM - exactly the Sense - do not response.

I have not trired the hard rest.

Now I use an other ROM, but I need the WM 6.5.3. and Manila 2.5 too.

Have Somebody any solution?

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] WVGAHTCTD2:
I have installed Build 28014x3, and there is written on the top of the page

and landscape support.

how can I activate landscape?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jyrg1:
Can't remember who wrote this solution but I noted it:

1. hard reset

2. switch off sense 2.5 and select titanium/windows default

3. sync myphone or outlook

4. go through windows contacts on the phone(not the htc one)

5. filter for htc favourites

6. edit each individual htc favourite contact and uncheck all htc categories.

7. once you have done them all restart htc sense and disable titanium.

It should work :D Good luck
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
Okey, I did the 1; 2; 3; 4 steps. But I can not filter for htc favourites. Options are All Contact, Recently Viewed, No Categories :-(

What can I do now? How can I add fav. contact to Sense 2.5? How can I do 5; 6; 7 steps?

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
If somebody else any idea, how can I fix my problem please write to me, becouse, I would like to use this ROM.

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 100thMonkey:
No doubt my man. Not breaking balls, just sending along a similar message to the others whining.... Exactaly, there's life beyond the www
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hellbleazer:
Hi Shadowline !

It's my first flash with your rom and I'm really impressed... No freeze, no crash. Nice work !

I've just one question :

Is your rom using NeoS Driverpack or ATI drivers ?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] janneman22:
Any idea's to integrate this in your ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
im sure all rom developers are falloing the progers of that thread :D

wuld be grate not having to flash the rom every time a new version came out....

but it is safer in my opinion... less system entangelment and less bloted and faster OS :P
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] federaly:
In the new 6.5.3 build MSFT has finally placed a new keyboard by the looks of it. Will it still be available in your new ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] -l-Z3K3-l-:
Restored all my stuff with PIM Backup. Now it seems to be screwed.

Any idea's?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Dabz:
that seems to have happened with me also, but i restored mine with mircosoft myphone, and the whole manila dies, there is no response at all but the windows 6.5 software still works u can go to the menu, lock screen open a (few) apps. i was really looking forward to this rom as i think this is the only one with the start button at the bottom left. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LesterC:
its your favourites, if you update back with pimbackup but without updating CONTACTS, it will all work, but it kinda useless without contacts, so im planning to jus wait for an update =/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
shadowline, maybe it's better you revert the download link to 28014x2, too many people are having problems with x3 and contacts sync breaking sense, and the same questions and reports are being written over and over...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
So do you tell the 28014x2 version work perfectly? Do you suggest to use that?

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
it's not perfect but at least it does not suffer from the contacts problem
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
What kind of bugs do you know in that ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
I don't know all, but these are a few: the button 'all messages' doesn't work and the 'documents' tab doesn't work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Who wants to try the test rom? Preferably someone that was having trouble with the last rom please test to see if the bugs are still there.

23518 TEST

http://www.multiupload.com/Q72SE7S9CM

Also attached is something I did while waiting for it to build and upload, just for fun. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
I am downloading now, and test it. I'm curious...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Jme09:
Does anyone use the keyboard from the Touch Diamond on this rom? and does it work ok? I have been looking for ages to try find it, iv downloaded some, but dont seem to work. Help if you can =D x
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Markusz:
I have installed.

So I try this test version. My first, big problem is on the contact tab.

If I would like to add an favorite contact the ROM will be useless. And the soft rest can not fix this. If I do anything the ROM - exactly the Sense - do not response.

It was in Build 28014x3. :-(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Hmm I see, tested and confirmed on my end as well. Also still present is the pim backup bug. Both seem to be caused by manila. The landscape manila version I have is a test version (from leo 2.02), if this bug is not present in pre- landscape roms let me know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Quaki:
ActiveSync seems not to work in 23518x1M (exchange)

Login does always fail.

Does anyone else have the same issue with 23518x1M and/or does have somebody a solution? it was working just fine in 28014x3M

By the way Java does not work still (same issue as in 28014x3) "The file 'sun_jwc' cannot be opened..."
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomoooo:
I am using 28014x2 and there is no problem with the favorite contacts present.

It only happened in x3.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jyrg1:
Could anyone post a link to the 28014x2?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
23814x2 download is available here. http://www.multiupload.com/PL20EMATAX
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] berryblack:
quick contacts tab

It doesn't happen with Nathoa's 2.02 ROMs. But we would rather go with working version of 2.01 than non-working version of 2.02. Thanks Shadowline.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
ok first strange thing is that the auto config reboot before the prosess compleated....

that is the aoutoconfig was runing showing the first screen with he new 6.5.3 wallpaper then it booted, before it booted it was at about 65% of complition...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] User_99:
Does this mean that we get some troubles when we try to restore data (SMS, contact, ...) with this tool?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
yep

and manila went ded the moment i used my phone to restore contacts..

there is a problem with the favorites contact in manila they probubly changed something in the new manila that dosent like the old my phone or the xip back up code some how :\

and spb back up... i heard there is a problem with that to if i remmember reports from other threads corectly

there might be a way to get manila to work... but we will need to disable the htc favorits somehow before we sinc the contacts....

im going to try that on my next hard reset....

hopfully it will work...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
ok confirmed its the contacts code....

i just ran the myphone service and manila dident die

so you know i uncheked contacts from the stuff that i wanted to update
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OdysseuS1985:
Is your version the same as in NRG's last version? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562942)

From NRG's changelog: "Updated to full landscape Sense 2.5.1922"

Because I'm using his latest ROM atm, and I didn't have the contact's bug.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
btw i use windows live to sync contacts, and sense dies even with that, as soon as i want to add an imported contact to favorites
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LesterC:
when i look up RTSP sites on windows explorer, the streaming media player DOES NOT start, any fix? cuz its annoying to hvae to manually copy/paste into the mediaplayer
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Desktop pc hard drive died (again, well it was the OS drive this time) No useful data lost for the rom so that is good, but now I have to get all set up all over again. :P

I keep all my rom and kitchen files on an external/backup drive now since the last failure so that way nothing gets lost. I will be trying a new rom with the manila from 2.01 to see if it changes anything with the bugs as soon as the pc is back up.

Also has anyone seen this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=604015

Looks pretty interesting.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OdysseuS1985:
Damn I hate it when that happens! Good luck with re-installing your pc!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oOHannesOo:
hey shadowline :)

right now i am using ur rom build 28014x3 but i have to say that this version is very laggy and hangs so often that i have to try ur new testbuild...thats no offense ur other rom versions were always awesome, but this is not for normal use in my case :)

good luck with ur reinstalling ;) wait for ur next build

greets hannes
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
as soon as i sinced contacts thru the my phone service the phone became unrisponcive... i was able to get the favorite contacts out of the htc favorit group and manila became responcive but the contacts tab wuld not work...

and i was unable to deactivate it after i sinced the contacts....

you culd be ok if you uncheked the contacts tab in the manila options...

and then sinc the contacts.... but ill wait untill you get the other manila cooked in to the rom :D

btw i love the ui...

but it was a bit inconsistant at some plases.... not sure why....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Dabz:
has anyone got a link for the 16/20 quicklinks mod because the one i used on my previous dutty holy grail rom doesnt work on this rom?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oOHannesOo:
finally @home and installing right now ur testrom :) optical it looks really good and for me it has much more style than the older versions :)

I am testing right now and give feedback...nice evening

*edit*

so far so bad :( roms run good, but when pimbackup is restoring my data it complete hangs...i dont no why this happens :( any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Marandus:
it fails because the manila favorites are broken, known bug in this manila version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Dabz:
i'm having some trouble with the wifi, it seems to be turning off my it self and vanishes from the top tool bar. and only when its in use on the internet it stays on.:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
this is normal i guess, to save battery, i personally like that behavior
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
Is there any date or guess for the next (non test) ROM release yet? I'm really looking forward to trying it. :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] finesse:
what happened here?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Ok so Manila only hangs while restoring with PIM or any other restore utility if you have favorites backed up and are restoring those. Don't restore contacts if you have favorites backed up as well. For safety, when backing up from older ROMs for example, remove favorites first and then backup. Keep a mental or written note of favorite contacts and add them manually each time you restore contacts. If the favorite bug is still present in the ROM you're currently flashing, just don't add favorites after restoring contacts and you'll be fine. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lathera:
problem is not all of the utilities have the option of not adding favorit contacts.... like my phone for instence.... it ads a contact and every thing asosieted with that contact.... that means it adds favorits to if you have some of your contact in that catigory...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] magic280z:
I use exchange for contacts so I had to go through and remove all the users from the HTC Favorites group in outlook to prevent it from locking up. Otherwise probably my favorite build for the At&t pure.

Problems:

-Setsystimezone.exe cannot be opened - had to go to all settings -> clock and alarms to manually set the timezone

-Previous mentions favorite people problem

I thought I ran into another problem, but only had it for a day so far.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ernest33:
Did you try to set priority to high in PIM ? (menu Options->Actions->Set priority->High)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
What PIM programs are you using? I am going to run a few tests on this as I can not seem to replicate it myself, I have switched out a few components with some non test ones, we will see how it works. If nothing else I will post another test build with these changes to see if it helps, if not then I will have to revert manila.

Edit: I can not even add a favorite contact. Will try swapping out just the tab, if all else fails I will roll back manila.... :(

Edit2: Offtopic, I wonder If i should clean my kitchen a bit, I think I have too many WM builds in there.... http://www.rocknrollcoffeehouse.com/shadowline/toomanybuilds.jpg

Edit3: Think I fixed it, I will upload another test build for you to check out and let me know how it is working.

Edit4: new test build available. Please test for the bugs and let me know. http://www.multiupload.com/TJVR3U4D2J
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] NoMercyWWE:

Outlook Exchange (activeSync)

Unfortunately this latest build still does not work with the Exchange Server. :(. when it does try to sync it requests for the password again and again.

And the the domain which I have entered is always lost.

To bad.

Also Java does still not work. "The file "sun_jwc" cannot be opened.

Well, too bad, need to go back to 28014x3 again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] NoMercyWWE:
Unfortunately im not able to add a favorite contact - but creating a new one works flawless - the list to choose is blank
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Marandus:
Downloading now and will test it later this day. I removed all favs to be sure to be able to restore my contacts but I will try to set them again after flashing.

Results: Later this day ;)

EDIT:

Here my first impressions of 28518 TEST:

- Favs bug seems to be fixed. Tried both, restoring favs with PIM Backup and adding new favs, had no problems at all.

- ROM seems to be fast and stable, but I need some further testing to be sure about that ;)

- Where is the wallpaper of WMWhite located? Is it available as an image file? I want to add it as home tab background but I cannot find the image.

- WMWhite is a damn nice theme, awesome work!

New ROM

Just about to load your new ROM shadow I'll get back to you if I find any Bugs/quirks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OdysseuS1985:
Wanna try your new ROM, just a quick question. Does this build have the bottom startmenu and close buttons?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] User_99:
Yes, it's the latest based OS 6.5.3 ...

Pictures find here...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] federaly:
1st quirk found?

So when I connect VIA usb it works normally as it should. After I unplug the usb cable and wait for the icon(battery) to revert to it's original state I attempt to connect it again, This time nothing happens at all. Soft reset allows me to connect "once" more but again same issue has arisen 3 times? Anyone else getting this quirk?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OdysseuS1985:
Damn I really wanted to test the new build!!! But.....sadly.....my touchscreen has died just before flashing...so I flashed back the original T-Mobile ROM and just brought it to the shop for repairs.... :(

Looking forward to trying the new build(s) "in two to three weeks"...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jmkhenka:
I just flashed your latest test, and im wondering how i switch between active programs? In 6.5 you got a button top right to switch with, but 6.5.3 dont have one.

any trick i missed?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
just tap on the top bar, there should come out some icons, one of which is for opening the task manager if i remember correctly.

i also prefer the direct way of terminatinv programs in 6.5.0 but unfortunately it seems the feature got removed in 6.5.1/.3...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] User_99:
Try to use "Task Manager", should do the trick for switching / closing apps in this ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] CommanderDuplex:
@Shadowline

im testing your rom :)

ehm.. i have note somewhat.. , when the device boot , so you have change the "Bootscreen" , can you change this in 6.5.5 =D ? , you now that the 235XX builds are WM 6.5.5 ?

i edit. later when i have testing a litle

Edit:

beta rom freeze on the bootscreen ...

Edit 2 :

Rom Boot after i restart the device after the fail boot...

Edit 3:

tested something , no bugs find , Wifi works , all works

good job Shadowline !

Edit 4 :

Footprint have a fatal bug , when you make pictures about Footprints with all.. you must go @ Album --> save as footprint

the OS freeze , and i see only white !
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wez89:
Yeah that is something to do with the lastest build of manila and WM, footprints seems to crash when adding a footprint via the manila tab. You have to indeed go into the album and set the picture as a footprint. This is not shadowlines fault, this is an issue with the latest builds

edit~ can anybody upload pictures of the latest build, keen to see the new theme (:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
New test rom should be coming soon.

Things fixed so far (Hopefully!)

Extendir no longer making things freeze and lock up. (it was locking up in my test build)

Extendir now included.

Manila wallpapers fixed.

Oem 2.06

Xip/Sys 21925

New menu enhancement

Included the AT&T_Tabbed theme

Fixed red highlight in themes

Fixed/new usbtopc popup

And a few other things that Im sure I forgot to mention. :P

Edit:

Uploading now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] eViL D::
Great, I will try out the test. I was really surprised how well the last ROM performed! I was going to settle on UDK's latest, but tried yours and it was just as fast, but with the fixed menu's. Keep it up!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talmiller99:
the test ROM causes lockups, can't point at something specific, it just freezes on random...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
I have not had any lockups yet, What programs have you installed? what are you doing when it locks up?

I did have random lockups in extendir before but I haven't had one yet, But I may have to remove it until a more stable version is available.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zard:
I was downloading the new rom but couldn't complete and had to leave home. It would be good if you could use rar or zip format so that I can flash it from my device directly.
