Nice work! One prob tho - doesn't allow to change time zone, it's locked at GMT-8 Pacific US time. I've manually set the clock to my local time but emails & meetings keep converting to 1am etc.

Is it something I'm missing?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
A quick fix is in the time settings (I am assuming you are using manila) click on the clock, then add location, enter a location nearest to you, that is in your time zone. Switch to that, and it will be fixed. If you need the "my location" weather and such you can now switch back to that and it will keep your time.

An interesting find. But sounds like trying to change the tv channel while standing on one foot to get better reception. :P Too many things to do, just for that. I am working on trying to fix it so hopefully I can.

Messaging not letting you write more than 6 SMS's

Before I started flashing custom ROM's I was using my Topaz's stock ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 and Manila 2.1 (I think). I always used to use the Windows Mobile interface to read and send texts, mainly because it would just lose everything you wrote in HTC Messaging if you accidentally tapped to go back instead of "Send", for example. Using the Windows Mobile interface to text there, I can confirm that it had no limit to writing sms (I think the longest I've written was maybe 12 SMS's..?). I've never really used HTC Messaging to text, especially when I knew I was going to write a long SMS because I knew I was vulnerable to losing the text by a simple tap in the wrong place.

With this ROM, unfortunately, you can't get to the Windows Mobile side of texting anymore (not easily anyway) so you're forced to text with HTC Messaging. At least this newer version of Manila (or Sense UI..?) actually saves what you've written if you accidentally go back so it's not so bad. Occasionally I've been needing to write longer texts that required more than 6 SMS's (918 characters) in one go but as soon as it reached that far, it stopped writing any more, so I've had to send that long essay and continue writing on a new one. I can confirm that this happens on Shadowline's build 23071x3 ROM and probably on every other Manila ROM as well, when thinking about the possible cause below...

After the 918-character SMS #6, comes SMS #7 with 1071 characters in total. I have a feeling that it's either a bug in Manila or a function stopping it from writing any more than 918 characters since it probably won't display the "remaining characters" text properly with 4 digits instead of 3 each.

Now, with all that said, have you guys come across it yet? Maybe you don't all write a lot like I do.. :p But is there maybe a registry change that would allow more than 6 texts in one message? Or, Shadowline, can you hard-code it into your ROM's so that this "issue" is fixed? :)

Congratulations for reading this far into my post and if you've just skipped down here then please happily receive a big slap from me! :D

23088x2 Mirror

Hi All,

Can someone please mirror this ROM to non rapidshare or megaupload site? Let say HOTFILE.. thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Vol22002:
Thank you, I'm at work right know but I will down as soon as I get home.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Do I win a prize for reading all of it? :D

Anyway SMS means SHORT message system you crazy loon. lol :rolleyes:

But if you must write a book while texting (as I do sometimes), you can disable the manila messaging via a tweak available on the forums. I wish I knew a way to include both versions, one being the default and the other as a backup.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ghekua:
link mediafire for u, bro (uploading...)

@Florinr08: this small software i attached below which i was found on forum can help u disable HTC message. (sr because i can't find the link of topic so i posted here, anyway big tks for whom made it)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Vol22002:
How in the world can anyone text so much without a keyboard I'm really trying to get use to this no keyboard thing but its hard. I keep switching my sim out and using my Fuze just to text. I just got my pure like 3 days ago I like the bigger screen but I my be taking it back because texting and the screen rotation issues just isn't working for me. In 3 day I have flashed every Topaz/Pure rom I could get my hands on and I cant find 1 that I comfortable with. I can't afford it but I may just go ahead and get the Tilt 2/ Touch pro 2 and get kill by my wife.:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
a quick fix for the rotation bug. Use this program, all you need to do is start it, then hide it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Vol22002:
Thanks Shadowline, I will give it a try. Is there a 23088x3 in the mix?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] NoMercyWWE:
Good Morning from Germany Shadowline, in 23088XM2 there are still bugs present

1. Time synchronisation has no certificate and is therefore not alllowed to run

2. Two battery icons in the upper bar of the screen.

Gyrator fix worked as it should - thanks for that so far

Good Work

Fix these two bugs and include a working g-sensor and im happy to make a small donation (as soon as im able to)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pencilcase:
Also for those who want manual rotation (i prefer this personally)

Change:

HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation/HideOrientationUI

Change the value to 0

Then you can assign "Rotate Screen" to the botton via Start - Settings - Personal - Buttons

This also re-enables the menus in Settings for the rotation. It might also be that some setting in here is causing the screen rotation not to work automatically in the first place ?

cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pencilcase:
1. time sync is included where ?? havent seen this bug

2. not happening to me, did you hard-reset after flashing it ?

3. gsensor works with gyrator or manually as described above.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
sorry for the dumb question, but... what do you mean by hard reset after flashing? what should i do after flashing?

cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] NoMercyWWE:
Time sync error has started since i enabled "Sync time with internet " in the settings tab in Sense 2.5.

Hard reset ok i can do that and see what will happen, thanks for the hint pencilcase

"Danke"
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
I will either upload a new build (if there are other fixes) or I will attempt a hotfix for you nomercy.

And one more thing; my on button (that on the top of the phone) is not working when it comes to turn of the phone. The only way for me to turn of the phone is to take out the battery.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jbgardner:
Is NM x2 a valid image ?

My Topaz says not when trying to flash it as TOPAIMG
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pencilcase:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jbgardner:
thanks.. it was wierd.. worked fine with the wrapper via USB.. usually copying it directly works better.. perhaps my sd card is a problem
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Haha sure you win a prize!! A punch.. Instead of a slap! :p

Thank you, I installed this and with some trial and error I finally got it working almost as expected! Thank you! (And of course thank you for whosoever made it!) :)

Ok and btw I have two questions:

1. Why when you receive a text message in this build (23088x2) the device comes out of standby mode automatically? So it sort of forces you to lock it every time. But at least now you always get alerted on time!

2. I'm getting a lot of battery usage with this ROM and I don't yet know what's causing it. I had left my house with full battery and I came back home 4 hours later and I was surprised at it being already halfway! And I barely even used it, I texted 3 short SMS messages. Has anyone come across this issue?? I'm really worried now because I really don't want to go back to 23071x3!! :( It's now at 15%!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
the last few bugs i seem to be noticing myself too. I will be looking into fixing it too. Though can anyone test if it is any different between manila and non manila versions? (the battery)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jchoong:
This 23088x2 ROM is excellent; the only drawback for me is that the vertical slider don't have the up/down arrors and this is causing inconvenience in some programs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
It is there, just imagine the buttons and tap there. :P it really does work. :D

(in short they are not removed, just the images are. The function is still there.)

I do publicly ask for help though on the g sensor issue. I just can not get it to work at all...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jchoong:
Oh, that's great; should have experimented with the "missing" arrows myself. Will recheck this when I reflash back to this excellent ROM. Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Yes i had left it out for the visual look of it, but left the buttons themselves just for those that still need them, however rare it is at times but they can be needed. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jchoong:
Reflashed to this x2M ROM and indeed the invisible up/down arrows are in the vertical scroll bar. In Opera, both functions - screen rotate and zoom bar does not work (I tried reset too). With gyrator installed, screen rotation works well. Zoom bar does not work; tapping the screen to zoom in works.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Ok I'll try out the non-Manila version today and let you know how that differs! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
Looks Nice ! :)

I want to test it, but I have one question before i do so, do I loose all my contacts? :P Should I take backup of them before doing this?:confused:

Anyway, great job:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] amelsfort:
Yes, everything on your phone is deleted. You should make a backup before flashing a new ROM. I always use PimBackup to backup contacts, calendar, tasks, etc.

And after flashing, you also have to reinstall all your programs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kevinlow:
yes..u need to do a backup before u flash to any ROM..not only yr contact..u will loose yr sms and calender app as well..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Matmax:
I also have high battery usage in the Manila Version. Can anybody report on battery usage with non-manila version?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kaycee77:
change your radio to a lower version. that's what i did. my Topaz can last almost 3 days now without charging.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
I'm just about to install the non-Manila version now and I'll report after 5 hours if my battery has halved like my Manila version has. And I also have a charger that indicated if it's supplying charge to the phone so if it's doing it on the non-Manila version as well I'll start ending processes and all to see what's eating it so much!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
What's your radio version now then?

Edit: And can you confirm that you're lasting 3 days on the Manila version please?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
:)

okey thanks guys :) but if i save them to the sim-card, it wont get lost? then i could only import them back?:)

- the contacts i mean. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Oh and by the way, Shadowline, I don't know what you did to this build but ActiveSync now works without having to take off that option in the "USB to PC" settings (I forgot what it's called, I'm flashing now). But then again, now was the first time I did a hard reset after flashing...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Correct. Anything on the SIM card and on the SD card won't get lost after a flash.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kaycee77:
im using the 4.47s radio.... well regarding my battery life, i say the last time i charged it is tuesday 12 am. of course that's without any activities. just stand by.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Right... Well this didn't happen with my previous ROM (23071x3) so something changed in this ROM must have taken effect.. :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
okey thanks. do I need more than just Build 23088x2 to flash it? I havent done this before, only did it with the 6.5 update from the HTC Support site, hehe..:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kaycee77:
well... im just laying my experience... been flasing my topaz with lots of rom since october and all i had is battery life problem.... went to look for any threads and i found some idea that by changing the radio it will help with longer battery life... made sense to me coz the higher the version the more it gets frequency.... the higher the use of power.... this is my personal experience so no pressure to try it...:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Nope, nothing too hard! :D Just download from the link provided and unzip/unrar the files and start TopazRUUWrapper.exe with your phone connected in ActiveSync mode. Oh and before you do, I just remembered, you need to flash with a HardSPL, found on the ROM development page.

Shout if you need any help with anything. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
thanks :) i will try now :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
Btw, what is this build's language? Since Im from Norway, do I get it in Norwegian? Or English?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
It's only in English unfortunately... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
alright. Good to know its not another language, like a foreign one. Haha. But if I want to remove this build and get the original again, I just Hard-Reset the phone the original way? (press vol up and down and turn on and Hard-Reset there) :o
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
No, you'll have to get the original ROM from HTC and flash it back with that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
Okey. I dont need the original 6.1 pro first and then the original 6.5, right? Just the 6.5? Im sorry if I ask to much, Im just worried the phone stops working:\
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Hehe nope, just the 6.5 if you want to end up with the 6.5. :) But before you flash to this ROM be sure to flash HardSPL beforehand. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
I did, its now installing :) Nice install screen :D Looking forward to test it, if its faster than 6.5 like everyone else says. ^^
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Fabulous! :D Let us know what you think about it! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oOHannesOo:
hey guys...just installed the non-manila version 23088x2...runs really great, but the time and date does not change? any ideas how i can fix it?? thanks alot
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
Nice, I really like it, the call screen, the home screen, everything. :D Nice! English doesnt bother me, Ive got Win7 on this PC running English, so it wont be difficult. :) Looking forward to run applications and stuff on it :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
Only one thing I dislike: The volume. Looks like the old one, I loved the 6.1 and 6.5 volume, this one isnt that good:\
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
And its not that fast everyone says it is. Updating my contacts with information from Facebook, going in to a contact and out again takes a little time. It went faster on 6.5
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
I know, it's because HTC's volume manager isn't included in these ROM's, I'm not sure how hard it is to port it to here... I liked the HTC's one much better too. The one you're seeing is Windows Mobile's native volume control.

It's because you've now got a much more updated version of Manila which isn't exactly made for the Topaz, it's made for a faster device like the HD2 I think. You now have all the weather animations integrated into the home screen as well so that makes it even slower but I guess you'll just have to get used to it..? :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
True true, gotta get used to it. The design is so elegant.

The weather animations is in 6.5 too though, didnt slow the phone down with that installed^^
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
What do you mean that it doesn't change? How are you trying to change it? On the home screen tap on the clock itself and you'll get a screen come up with setting alarms. Swipe to the left or right to get to the Time Settings and there you can set everything, Time Zone, Date and Time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
You've gotta thank Shadowline for the amazing designs! :)

Where was the weather animation in the HTC's 6.5 ROM?? I've never installed that ROM so I don't know but I thought they didn't make it come up on the home screen on that one... The animations only show when you're on the weather tab, right?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
on this one, i see the animations in the weather tab, yes. but on 6.5, it showed at the home screen :) (if you locked it, and unlocked it again, it appeared clouds.

yeah, gotta thank the master ! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
thanks for an awesome ROM ! :) it rocks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oOHannesOo:
i tried that...time tap -> set -> time...i can change the time, but the date is always on 15. august...i soft reseted, but still sam issue :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Are you serious?? :O But anyway, it should do that exact thing on here as well... :| Sorry but I still need to confirm this.. So you've got that weather animation on the home tab with the ROM downloaded directly from HTC, is that what you're saying?.. And how about the colour on the tabs? Were they still in black and white or colour?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Ok I know what you mean, I thought that was just a random thing that happened when I tried tapping the little arrow to select the date but I just tried it again and it does it again so that's a bug with it. To set the date, just tap the numbers individually in the date field and write them in manually.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] syntex123:
now ive got the shadowline ROM, but on the original one i had the weather animation on the home tab yes. got pictures of it, get online in skype and i will send. no, the tabs look just the same as in this ROM :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oOHannesOo:
i tried that too...but the date is written 15/ Aug / 09...i can change both digits but not the month, because its not a digit xD

Non-Manila version of 23088x2 NOT battery hungry

Ok Shadowline, I've installed the non-Manila version of 23088x2 just after my phone was charged to 100% and it's been installed for almost two hours now and the battery is at 96%, I don't think it will go down to half in two more hours so I think I can safely confirm that there's something wrong with Manila that eats up the battery in the 23088x2M ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Use the up/down arrows on the on-screen keyboard. xD
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oOHannesOo:
gosh...that i cannot believe that i missed that. thank u very much xD it actually works tadaaa xD

Dear shadowline. After I changed HKEY_CURRENT_USER/MUI/CurLang to 1049 (RUS) SMS notification doesn’t work anymore. Do you know how to fix that? I change manila language because I want to have Russian search bar in manila contacts. And of course my notification settings is ok
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] florinr08:
Do you really need the Russian search bar? Can't you just scroll to the nearest letter with the English one and then just keep swiping to your desired contact?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Angus9000:
dude, consider me a newbie :) but it was rather easy to do:

1. connect the phone to the PC and establish an ActiveSync connection

2. download the HardSPL 1.83 for the topaz... basically it's just an exe file that will do everything for you

3. i recommend you also download and flash the latest radio rom for the topaz

4. then you flash the actual rom. again, at least in my experience, it is always an exe file which will detect your phone and guide you through flashing... really easy

5. when the rom is flashed it is recommended to do a hard reset afterwards: turn device off, press volume up + power on, press volume up again when prompted to reset the phone

done.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
There is definitely something wrong with the new build regarding battery usage. Half a day only with ordinary use
