[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HTC Touch Freak:
Not sure what else I can say about the 23016 but wasn't able to launch IE, both opera versions I installed, and a few other apps. They would just shut down. Now The phone won't get out of sleep mode. Doing a soft reset ATM.

Can't remember any other problems I had.

After the SR it seems to be "normal" to how it worked before. It seems a little bit more responsive and less laggy than last night.

Opera opened and is running. Aswell as the other apps that would just shut off.

Connection setup doesn't work.

When I go into 'connections>advanced>Select networks' I don't see anything for T-mobile in there. Jut Proxy internet, My Network, and My ISP.

Wifi Works for me. Cannot test bluetooth ATM.

Updated Status 7:15 P.M.

Ok. Mebe the first few hrs were a fluke but everything seems to working just fine now. Has the same basic hiccups and lock ups as I was experiencing with NRGs 2.5 Manila. Writing txts seems to be quicker. No lag in the keyboard vs what shows up on the screen like NRG's. Mebe it's cause his is the newer HTC version and it has problems IDK. But it's working better for me.

:D

any chance of building the leo menu enhancement into the next test build of 23409? The rom is perfect but the WM menu is way to big, idk maybe M$ will update this in a new build of 6.5.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gursoft41:
I dont found owner menu .....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HTC Touch Freak:
Just so you know I switched to a more stable build for now. Going to NY till the 14th and don't want to have to be resetting my phone every so often.

Why does doing a soft reset killl the batterey so much anyways?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wha05:
HTC Magnifier

Magnifier is always poppin up even when disabled from settings
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Well my Test rom series is more about seeing what is new in 6.5 and the features of it, so having the menus replaced isn't quite the goal of it, plus the htc menu enhancement only seems to work with manila enabled, im sure there is a workaround though.

How could you! :D Just kidding. :P

Hmm that should be disabled from the get-go now. It is on mine...

Anyway, time for some bad news, followed by some other bad news, and then some hopefully good news.

I won't be able to work on this until closer to Thursday as I have some pretty full days at work this week. The other bad news, my PC died again and took my latest kitchen with it, so when I do work on it I will have to start from scratch more or less. The hopefully good news is that there should be a new 6.5 build by then id assume.

Edit:

And also please stop PM'ing me about TF3D 2.5, 2.5.1, 2.6, 3.0, etc.. I do not have the new versions, and probably will not until it is released here on the forum, and in which case why would you need it from me? Every day it seems I have a new message (well quite a few really) asking if I have the new version and It is really quite annoying.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] keef247:
na mate the add word bit is there just doesn't bloody add it and you retype and its gone or half or it comes up as your starting typing the word then the rest disappears!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alirezaircn:
Great job! Excellent!

But same problem with udK Leo R1 WM6.5 - Build 21840.5.0.60 - Base v2.08 - Hero UI Manila 2.6.....

Wifi keeps on/off automatically :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
Is it so that if you connect to wi-fi, it will automatically selects it instead of choose 3G?

The reason I'm asking is that I did just that today, and then stood it that HSDPA had been used/connected in 3 or 4 minutes?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pencilcase:
which of the posted versions are you referring too? aka what build?

thanks, had the same with udk plus i found udk's kinda laggy ... even after tweaking it some more.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tinker2000:
"Also why does my thread have a lower rating than others? What did I ever do to you? lol"

5 ***** from me :D

Battery life is terrible... Anyone remember the 'flying bomb' batteries from the 1970's... I feel that my D2 is now running on them.

Other than that this is a great ROM:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tobit:
i have a problem with the stable version as well as the latest build. after successfull flashing my device, the topaz enters some kind of rebooting loop: vibra -> black screen with "diamond 2" writing -> vibra -> black screen ... and so on. i had to enter manually the bootloader and flash an other rom.

any suggestions?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
So I have been flashing and cooking my latest rom for 5 hours so far, and about 30-40 flashes. And I still can't get it right. :P Id say a new rom is coming soon but that version of soon might be next week at this pace! lol
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wez89:
A new build, looking forward, hope you can get the things sorted..Are we looking at an update to the current test roms?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
In a sense, it will be an update to the 23016 version that will hopefully work out most if not all bugs, and bring a few surprises. But so far this rom is not liking me and keeps getting stuck on a white screen while customizing. I know it is in EXT I am just trying to track down the specific package as I totally changed my kitchen, and disabling most of my ext files make it work...

Update 1:

Well im getting progressively closer and closer to getting this working, its about 90% there now i think, well considering it boots that is, lol

Update 2:

two steps forward and three steps back, white screen of doom again.

Update 3:

Another step forward narrowed it down to 2 packages for the non booting part, next is to make sure everything works! Edit: maybe 3... Sleep time for now though. I've been building and flashing this rom since 5pm and it is 12:30am now, plus I have to get to sleep and wake up in less than 5 hours now. :S
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alirezaircn:
Wifi problem exists in Manila version " TEST_TOPAZ_23016_Manila_Shadowline " but "TEST_TOPAZ_23409x2_Shadowline" (without Manilla) is working great for me!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] low-dogg:
Looking forward to it!.. Is the new version with the newest build? because that is pretty stable and fast.. I'm using the very light kitchen + rom 23409 there are only drivers and wm 6.5 no HTC stuff, and it is VERY fast:)

And will you also make a version including manilla 2.5?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] petertc:
Getting Started

When I Push on Getting started in rom 23409 I get a list of things that I can do. When I choose one of them I get text that doesn't fit in my screen and can't do anything with it. How can I remove the Gettin Started text?

Further it is a great ROM. Forget Manila.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alirezaircn:
Can anyone tell me how I can a) hard reset b) enter owner information in this version (23016 without Manila) ? :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Maybe ;)

Don't use getting started? It is not complete in the new WM 6.5 builds as they are changing it too. :D

Hard reset I believe is power + vol up & vol down keys. I never hard reset, not enought time so I just reflash. :D

This version may not have it enabled, i do not remember, but the version i am working on seems to have it again.

The first person to guess what the new update to my 23016 build will be if/when it works will get first dibs if i do a private beta of it and the insider info on the secretness. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HTC Touch Freak:
Ummmmmm....

4-row srart menue?

Manila 2.5 with hero stuff.... not just the weather-clock.

There is a break through on yhe android department and this build u included the files to run and made a direct link to start haret?

Theres an app that can tellu ur future?

A genei in the Topaz?

Close or way off? I cant think of anything else.

New themes?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alirezaircn:
shadowline, your rom ,( 23016 without Manila ), is the best I ve ever tried...all other Roms are buggy...

But your Manila version is still buggy and hope you ll fix it soon!

Good luck!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Yes, that. :D And the first 4 I want, especially the 3rd and 4th one. :D

But anyways you are actually correct, I am working with build 23409 and manila 2.5/2.6 trying to get them to play nice. The most problem I have is just manila won't start, otherwise everything else works.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LudwigVanMonier:
Dear Shadowline, did you achieve to get QuickGPS, Microsoft Tag and other programs running on your 23409 rom? The latest build 04/09 was awesome, aside from this little bug... Personally, I have no use for Manila, so if you could continue building Manila-free roms, I would be delighted.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] htakahasyd5:
I fully agree with you. I'm waiting for the 23409 ROM update.:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
This has got to be the most difficult rom that i have cooked so far. I have to translate parts, port others, and fix most every package i have. But it should be worth it I hope!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cityhunterx:
Looking forward to it shawdowline, im sure it'll be worth it :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Here are a few shots from the build im working on, with the older manila that I had, that works and is aligned properly in the new 6.5 builds.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
Nice work shadowline,

Looking forward to it :)

Cheers

BR
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Oh hey now there is a new 6.5 build out, 23047... Cooking it now and I will try for a test release in less than an hour from now, if all works.

UPDATE: New build. Does not include manila, but includes a lot of new changes and package upgrades. Example check out the new lock screen and pin input. The keyboard is now aligned for the new softkey bar. new icons for quite a few things, camera ms tag and such all work now. This is a rushed build so you can try the newest 6.5 build so expect bugs, hopefully not many though. (I have only found the top curtain notification thing doesnt work.)

Consider this build a "beta" of my upcoming one with, and even without manila. I have a lot of things that I want to do for the next version If I am able to. And this one is what it is based off of.

Build 23047

Updated ALL HTC packages. (only one left from a previous release is the camera!)

Fixed alignment on the keyboard.

Changed lockscreen (WIP)

HTC Menu has been fixed to work without manila now, and is included.

Loads of new icons for included aapplications.

Fixed MS Tag.

No screenshots because I cant seem to sync up any of my phones, but I think that is just my wacky PC.

--> Download Now <--
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] matze09:
Again a very good work shadowline

tried your latest rom 23047... and its a very very fast rom again.

but there are still some bugs in it.

-top bar problem as you told us (solution:soft reset)

-start menu lags a little at first time (again:soft reset)

-wifi problem.i-net works fine but i´m not able to turn it off with CommManager

to control internet access use start=>settings=>connections=>WI-fi=>Wireless Networks and then menu => turn off wi-fi

couldn´t find another way to turn it off...

another thing are the contacts... how can i make my contacts visible???

i just can see them in the sim manager... don´t want to copy one by one :(

thank you for your great rom and support ^^

greetings from GERMANY
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hanswurst1979:
Just use the cComm-Titanium Plugin as CommManager replacement, works fine, and is better than commMgr of HTC
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RadekL_33:
hi shadowman :-),

You are only one man, who make ROM WM 6.5 quickly. Others use only build 23016 last month. Thanks for your job.

I like ROM WM 6.5 build 23037 and incoming, but ......

Why you soil your latest ROM 23047 applications from HTC? It is shame.

Please, make unsoiled rom WM 6.5 build 23047.

Sorry for my english.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ChrisXP27:
can u update the tehmes for version 23047? please!!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zannyboy:
same. Issues ive had with the theme is that the text doesnt seem to fit properly in the top slider bar things...pic to help me explain. Any help is appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
I am unsure, but I will be updating the themes yet again for this new 6.5 build as more elements were added to the 6.5 skins. Which is great - yet annoying. :P

eh? There really is not much extra in this other than what makes it work or more usable. I have taken out most of the manila stuff and my next version will have the rest removed (As i said i rushed it so you all could get your hands on it sooner) but the htc stuff is mostly the important stuff, keyboard, drivers, camera, and a few useful utilities..

Also the new features in this build;

New softkey buttons everywhere, open almost any MS app and you will find them.

Alarm link in the start menu.

The notification bar at the top slides in and out

New Features in the HTC Stuff:

New startup, setup application

New Timezone auto config

New Tool for formatting SD Cards.

New Lock Screen

New car kit navipanel (Not tested)

The rest are updated but no new features found.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
Hey We are just doing the beta testing for M$ (perhaps this is the transitional steps to wm7 and we are working out the bugs) :)

Cheers

BR

Thanks for keeping us on the cutting edge shadowline!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
Testing your ROM now. I'll come back with what I mean of it and bugs that I've found.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LudwigVanMonier:
I'm counting on your feedback! I want to flash it, but I'm at work, it'll have to wait this evening...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
I like the new stuff, but there are alot of screen artifact issues in this build. (not complaining), just observing and reporting back on what i see. Also I am sure peeps have noticed that the more changes to the UI the more apps have trouble dealing with the changes.

Cheers

BR
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
This may be my fault, I think I left some old sys files in by accident which I am testing for now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
After testing it for abourt 20 minutes, I'll come to some few small things:

Just one thing first. Why is many of the icons changed? Is that something Microsoft have done, or is it you?

1. You'll have to include Opera Mobile, it's so much better than IE ;)

2. It seems very fast, and I like the new look when I'm changing the clock and the date.

3. And why isen't the Windows Media Player icon and many of the other Microsoft programs like the icon really is? See here, http://images.gfx.no/628/628805/wm_6-5_wm7-features-564x376.jpg

Except this three thing, I haven't found anything big issues yet (and they're actually big either):P

Good work, shadowline!! :D

One more thing. A new build, 23045: http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/windows-mobile-65-build-updated-to-build-23045
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
New? We are using/testing build 23047. :P

The icons are part of just a new reskin that I am trying, but is not yet totally complete since I will be making my own icons when I get to that point.

Opera isn't in yet because I am trying to get it to play nice with everything, i dont know why it stopped working for me.

Also calculator seems to be missing ive noticed... Seems odd since it is included. I will have to look into that too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
Hehe, I saw that now. My bad :P

Ah, I see. Hope you get Opera to work:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LudwigVanMonier:
Can we expect a fully functional release of 23047 today or will it take longer to iron out?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
The world may never know... ;)

Ok so maybe they will but I won't say until I know more. :D

Edit:

Here are a few screenshots for all of you. Fixed the theme to work with the newer stuff again. And of the new HTC lockscreen.

EDIT2:

New build is uploading. ETA <10min
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ChrisXP27:
wow, nice theme, where i can download it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
..does is have manila included? please say -yes-!, but don't lie to me :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
From the next post/update as soon as the rom uploads :D

Yes but in reality no. (hey you told me to say yes. :D)

Rom 23047x2 is uploading now and includes

opera

calculator fix

fixed theme

new customize screen

MS tag fixed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LudwigVanMonier:
Was QuickGPS fixed? It was a dealbreaker for me in 23409...I really need to be able to get a quick gps fix when I need it...

I'm such a junkie...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Yes quickgps was fixed and it seems to update itself too.

Oops! Forgot connection setup of any kind, rebuilding and uploading now. WMBlack has been updated to work on the new builds again. Download is the same as the old one on the front page.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
Thanks!:) Love you man! :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
:-( but it's ok! Do you know where I can get manila 2.5/2.6 get from, maybe as a cab?

Thanks again for your great work you share to us!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Not really, sorry, I have the manila that i used that worked before, but it is not working right for some reason and has odd artifacts, the shortcuts on the main screen have gone missing, and my other version wont start anymore.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ChrisXP27:
is here the new theme? for 23047?

***ROM UPDATE***

Build 23047

Updates and fixes:

Opera included

Calculator fixed

Theme fixed

New customize screen

General stability fixed a little more.

A soft reset is highly reccomended after the device is at the home screen for the first time.

--> Download Now <--

Also WMBlack has been updated in Post 3 for all new builds of 6.5. WMBlue is not yet however.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ChrisXP27:
i waiting for WMBlue update^^

p.s. ca u notice the version number 23047 on the cab?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
I just have to ask.

What is "kitchen" and "radio"?

PS! I know what these words mean in the ordinary speaking:p hehe!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
For the Newbies here:

The radio ROM is responsible for Wifi, phone signal, GPS. Changing the radio ROM can improve your phone (or make it worse) regarding Wifi sensitivity, phone signal availability, GPS satellite receiving and GPS lag.

Unfortunately there is no confirmed measurement available yet to tell you which radio ROM is the best for you. It depends on the OS ROM you use, the region you are living and your personal needs.

Kitchen:

Take a wm version plus a few packages -> but it into kitchen & cook a rom!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Radio is that device that you turn on and hear strange voices telling you to buy things. :D

Radio is what controls device functions, be it power, wifi, bluetooth, and phone. AFAIK.

Kitchen is what us chefs refer to it is, is an application that puts the OEM, ROM, EXT, and SYS files together with a mix of spices and ingredients to make our roms. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
Wait, so the Radio is really a mind control device used by the big corporations to get folks to buy their junk right?

Cheers

BR

To the subject there is a dedicated Radio version thread that has some posts on observed performance of some radio versions on some carriers in some locations...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] paalkr:
Hi!

Can anyone please tell me which SIP the 23047x2 ROM contains? Is it the EzInput 2.1, 2.0 or only the regular MS SIP?

Regards,

PK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
So is anyone having a problem with contacts not showing up? I did not have this issue in the 1st 23047 build but now have it in the 2nd one?? (Still like the rom tho)

Cheers

BR
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] LudwigVanMonier:
Ok, I've been playing around with the rom... Here are the bugs I found :

- Freezes every time I disconnect from my computer via USB cable.

- Problem turning off Wi-Fi in comm manager.

- Wi-Fi turns on for a fraction of a second ever few minutes.

- I had to install a separate .cab to enable long push end key. It is not included in the rom.

- The setup process at first launch is useless. Nothing is linked to it, or so it seems.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Yes that is what the radio is.

The latest EZInput, though it looks like the topaz default it really is the new LEO version.

Mine work, though when activesync was downloading them it only showed a single contact, but it works.

Hmm freezing is bad, havent seen that.

Wifi and bluetooth for me are still touchy...

Also what you see doesnt seem to be wifi just the system freaking out in the taskbar.

I had an issue with the long press end key making the device revert to the old lock screen for some reason sorry.

The first launch setup is full of awesomeness! it shows you how to type on the keyboard with little green circles, pretends to guess the time zone but never does and looks very important for something even though it isnt. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
shadowline, a new observation. MS Reader runs but does not see any ebooks. if i launch an ebook manually it errors out. I am going to re-dl and re-flash cleanly to see if the observed issues remain constant. Well here is the update.

***Update** I am going back to the 23409, i love the new stuff but it is not stable enough, i will try new builds as then become available and report results as observed. Your efforts are greatly appriciated shadowline.

Cheers

BR
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
I hope i can get a build out soon that has better working wifi/bluetooth it is really annoying me. Also this new build messes with the button code for some applications so if you could please report what it does it to.

And could a mod please remove the poll? 4-row start menu will be the new standard with a optional 3 row as a cab. or vice versa as soon as i get done with the other issues (i dont want to break one thing before at least fixing another! :D)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ChrisXP27:
can u update the WMBlue theme?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wez89:
Please visit this thread and post your request to move the poll

edit* ok i requested it to be removed for you
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RadekL_33:
Sorry Shadowman,

Buidl 23047 is NOT good ROM. Your WM 6.5 build 23409 is best of the best.

Your WM 6.5 Build 23409 is cleaner, faster.

Build 23047 is perfect for me, i havnt had any problems, especcially after performing a hardreset afterwards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bukito1:
Is could be this rom in spanish??????
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
No, it's not translated into any other languages than english.
