test rom is fantastic!

few problems I've encountered (sorry if they've already been posted):

-When you go into the lock screen, it cuts off a chunk of the text at the bottom. Also the new bottom bar sometimes appears and doesn't go away until you unlock and relock it again.

-As someone said above, the "getting started" was a bit screwy but I got rid of that asap anyway. Kind of useless when you know your way around wm.

-Is there a way to remove the magnify glass? absolutly hate it and couldn't turn it off even after toggling it off in the settings. it screws around with HTC album making it impossible to close it without pressing the back button or end.

Besides that, excellent rom. That bottom bar is a god send ... makes it so much easier. Havn't had time to test any of my apps yet.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] rem2222:
Very beautiful themes. But can you help me to solve couple of problems?

In my x500 with 23034ROM bottom bar is not transparent and font in top menues is too big - i can't see full text. Please help!

wifi bug in tasklist?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Yes the wifi bug still exists.not sure why as I have tried a few different ways of doing it...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hefman:
Cross posting your issue on multiple threads probably isn't going to stir up much support for you on here.

Anyway, transparency only shows up on the bottom bar when you are using Titanium (Windows Default). In your case, you are not using Titanium. This has been the case since day one of WM6.5. As for your font issue, I don't know...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] retr0sic:
I've flashed my topaz with the shadowline rom today and unfortunately it didn't work very well, after the first 3 hard resets the messaging wouldnt work, couldn't send them.. And after a couple of more hard resets it would send the messages, but it's way too laggy, do not float at all, system uses +80% of memory continuosly even after i close all apps that run in the background at first

Sad but maybe it works better with manilla? floats better and uses less memory or processing power?

It shouldn't take about 1 minute to start the facebook application, nor 35-40seconds to open the messages.

Just telling you , so you maybe will look into it if theres something with the rom .. ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Without manila should be working better, with manila is the one with the issues. I can't guarantee that this works for everyone, which is why I label all of these new roms as a "Test." It also should not be using around 80% of the memory as there is no manila included (a memory hog for sure!)

Are you sure that you downloaded the correct one?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
Something happened to battery life. Full charge from mains yesterday, not even been 24 hours and power shows 15% :confused:

Previous ROM was in excess of 30 hours (previous Shadowline release)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
New build 23037 building now. Also note a bug in the last rom i have noticed, sometimes the phone does not want to automatically standby when idle.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
wow that was fast! nice one!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Seems there is nothing new in this build. maybe better stability? Hard to say but I will upload anyway...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
Moving the start button to the bottom left is a definite win. Glad Microsoft are doing this, since it has been a staple part of the Windows UI since the early nineties.

All I'm hoping for now is a start orb and taskbar like Vista or 7 and I'm sold!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gmanesiotis:
thanks for everything you do, quick question, are these roms GSM or cdma? I really want windows mobile 6.5 but every thread i look it appears to be gsm only.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zzl0919:
Hey,such nice work you did,thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Thank you.

Well it was made using a GSM topaz so I could only assume it would be GSM only. I did not know there were CDMA versions of it.

Thank you. :D BTW, is that lyrics to linkin park in your sig? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] NoMercyWWE:
Thanks as always - just flashed the new radio - later i will report bugs of this rom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] low-dogg:
Kepp coming with new rom's! you are doing a GREAT job.. If i find any bugs not on the list i will of course report it:) thx again for your work!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
I'm downloading now, so I'll test the new ROM.

But from the other ROM, it would have been nice if you tried to make it a little faster ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
So, does the 23037 build still have the wifi bug?

Cheers

BR
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
I've found something, even it seems better than the last ROM:

The ROM seems a little slow, especially when I'm going to answer sms. I mean both going into the sms and wright the sms.

1. Is it possible to show more than just one thing from the calendar in the "lockmenu"? For example the nest two appointments.

2. And it would have been nice to see when the alarm is supposed to ring in the "lockmenu".

And I'm repeat some of my previous points:

2. And it would have been very nice to have the option to restart, when I pushed the on-button instead of just shut down.

3. And it seems like it's a bug in the "lockmenu", down with the "next appointment".

4. Is it possible to change the order of the icons in the startmenu?

If I for example want messages, home etc. longer up.

5. Why doesn't it work to look at a picture, and turn the phone around and then look at the picture? I mean to turn it around like this; | to -.

Could you try to fix this?

I'll report more if I find something ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ChrisXP27:
hello^^

Can u extract and give me the new Blue Buttons? and the Blue Wallpaper?

and whats new in v.23037?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] low-dogg:
I have used this rom since he uploaded and yes the wifi bug is still there.. but if you can get past that then it actually runs pretty smooth..

There are small changes in the start menu, i have noticed that you can now move the icons anywhere you want, a little bit like the iphone. Pretty cool actually.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Some of those are out of my control at the moment, others I could do but I would have to learn how and it would take time, so I cant guarantee that I can.

Also I am going to try to see if I can enable rotation on all apps and screens in the non manila versions.

They are now included in WMBlue on the front page as both themes have been updated for the new buttons.

That has been there a while. :D The wifi bug isnt soo horrible but it just likes to turn itself on a lot. Still wondering what is causing that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
Wifi bug is still there. My phone is trying to connect to wifi every five minutes or so, resulting in rapid battery drain.

Build seems faster, good job there sir!

Still slightly dissapointed that turning the phone sideways to widescreen does not allow me to have a widescreen Titanium home screen.

Launching FM Radio results in a 'unknown error' message. This is a feature that I use a lot, so sad to see it broken.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
Also, I can't find anywhere to set Owner Info
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Brau0303:
This is something that seems to common to all builsa 23025 and above. (I tried doing a registry export from another lower build of wm6.5 and it seems to cause problems on at least the 23025 builds, I have not tried that on any of the newer builds)

Cheers

BR
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] l3v5y:
There is a registry key that enables the Owner Info (it's in the first few posts of Da_Gs WM6.5.X release thread I believe).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
1) I would like to suggest that some kind of option to set the Owner info in the next release.

2) Locked screen still can't show appointments at the bottom because of taskbar.

Can taskbar be disabled when device is locked? that would solve the problem.

3) Magnifier thing appearing everytime I click a dropdown box or try to select files in File Explorer - really *seriously* annoying, how do I disable it?

4) Also, I cannot turn off 'Data Connection' in Comms manager
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Landscape I will be working on fixing over the weekend along with whatever new build may come (if there is one.)

I will test FM Radio as soon as I find my headset, I swear i was just using it a few days ago and it works so something must have happened.

It has been removed for the most part, though there are ways to get it back.

Does it still work? I could have sworn that I changed that unless it got deleted somehow.

1) if it works it will be there in the next version.

2) I do not seem to have this problem at all. Can you tell me exactly the steps you use to lock the screen and maybe i can see if i can get mine to bug out too? (specifics, like do you use a password, the holding of the end key, etc...)

3) I will be disabling the magnifier totally.

4) It works for me. I tap the switch on "Data Connection" in the comm manager and it turns both direct push and data off.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] l3v5y:
It does still work. :p

I'm using it on my Diamond ROM right now (23037).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Yes i just found out that I had accidentally deleted my changes to it. lol
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] l3v5y:
I do that quite a lot... :D

This is why I have backups of my kitchens though...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] NYRican:
Shadowlines Updated theme 23037

Can someone please post a .cab of Shadowlines updated theme from the 23037 test ROM

Never mind opened my eyes figured it out.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jejansso:
This ROM seems nice, even thou the magnifier is a T.O.T.A.L pain in the ass. It seems like it's slowing things quite a lot, at least my phone experiences always a quick freeze just before the magnifier is starting.

I tried disabling it from registry (changing the enable- and viewmode(or similar) to zero) and that didn't do the trick. Neither did the blacklisting of all the listed apps, so I guess that the program itself don't read the registry keys at all.

Or it could be that I'm just editing the wrong keys, as always :)

Removing the magnifier could make this rom stay in my device!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ttppeewee:
Does the test ROm no have "Personal information"

I need that for the programs I have payed for. If I can't writ my name in "personal information" I can't install them :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kili:

maybe you can add this tips to your first post ;)

@all

have a nice weekend!

@me

wohooo HOLIDAY! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
I am having the exact same problem. Can't register programs I have bought!

The device name can be set, but not the owner info.

I also think that QRCode reader and MS Tag reader are important enough to have them bundled with the ROM, pre-installed.

And I know I'm going on a bit, but can you advise me how to make my own theme? What I'm looking for is the start button style of 'Rock and Republic' but the softkey button style of WMBlack - a round start button but with square other buttons.

I can confirm that the hold-screen issue is alright now. The start button and taskbar *sometimes* dissapear and I can see my upcoming appointments. I always use the same wmethod, which is to hold down the END key to invoke the lock screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
MS Tag is planned, the magnifier will be removed, and owner info will be added back.

Hopefully I can upload a new build with the fixes, and hopefully better speed come tomorrow. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
That'll be nice:) Looking forward to it:D

When it is intended that the Windows Mobile Market, or whatever it's called, will be clear / official?

Hope it will be something what can compare to iPhone's market, because I'm tired of all the programs that fit with iPhone and not with WM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] katsj:
Its very nice although you loose a lot from the missing TouchFlo3D functionality but I agree with redesignni that the ROM makes TD2 look VERY slow and unresponsive. Lets hope the original HTC 6.5 comes soon, it looks real nice on beta version if you look at youtube and it seems HTC found a way to bring the touchflow functionality to WM6.5

Then again we have to thank the crreator of this ROM for his time on making this ROM available for us.

ps: I did recalibrate the screen twice actually but no improvement on responsivness
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Snutten74:
I want to know this also :-(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Hey everyone! I'm back after a long day at the parks. :D Anyway, before I left today, I built a new version of the rom, which fixed a few problems, like opera and camera zoom, but now touch doesnt work in some apps. And still am working on the netcf errors. But I am happy to say the rest are gone and fixed as of this point. I am too tired now to do too much (and upload) but I am off all day tomorrow, so I will have time to work through the bugs bit by bit.

Also I want to thank L3v5y for helping me figure out some of these things in the IRC. He has been a great help when I bug him with questions. :D Expect a new rom up tomorrow, bug free hopefully.

Edit:

Expected Changelog for the next version. (Subject to changing of the changelog :D.)

Added NetCF3.7 again

Added start up sound

Added UC (untested!)

Fixed theme load on first boot.

Fixed Camera zoom

Fixed Opera Zoom

Fixed Quicker Customize time on first boot.

Removed Welcome Center.

Current bugs in testing build.

NetCF error still exists... ---* Fixed*

scrolling and selecting error due to touchflo. -- Temp Fixed, caused bugs listed below

no camera zoom, and no opera zoom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 341840633:
very nice

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mikkelbn:
Sounds very good, when will you expect to have new release available for DL?

Thanks - keep up the good work :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] l3v5y:
Can I just ask how you fixed the NetCF error? Are you using 3.5, or the new 3.7?

With the TouchFlo bug, I'm guessing you just removed the TouchFlo EXT pack? If you did, a better fix is to edit the app.reg file, and set "scrolling" to dword:00000000
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
With the touchflo thing, making scrolling from 1 to 0 causes a lot of issues for me, it could be my package that i have though. With netcf, I am using 3.7, and found another package to work with, put it in oem, which seems to fix it. havent had an error yet!

Edit: Ok guys, im building it now, after a bit of a test I will upload it in the first post.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] WH33LSONFiRE:
Had a quick look at this as we just received a Topaz at work.

I'm already familiar with Diamond flashing (just fyi)

I've ran the HardSPL -> Topaz-HardSPL_V1_01R1.zip which went well in my opinion.

After that tried to flash your ROM but it keeps staying at 0%.

Anything you would say I should retry?

I'll have a look at it tonight at home also, to verify.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] l3v5y:
Odd. TouchFlo (specifically Bioutouch.dll) handles the zoom bar as well as the touch screen system.

Can you send me a link to that OEM pack? I'd love to have NetCF 3.7 working in my ROMs... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Hmm, seems as if biotouch.dll, as i removed everything but that from the touchflo package, just to see, seems to still cause the problem for me... Quite strange really....

Updated rom is about to upload, it includes all the fixes, except camera and opera zoom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
New rom is up, download and flash away! Final changelog for this version is in the .7z file and also in first post.

Download link is the same as the old one, so update your mirrors accordingly if you wish, and let me know what bugs still remain!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] l3v5y:
Biotouch handles both the touch screen and the zoom bar... It's what handles all the HTC scrolling stuff in WM6.1, but the MS implentation is better in 6.5. I wonder if your scroll registry setting is getting changed when the device starts up?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shayan.k:
Hello im new and i want to know how to flash a rom to my touch D2 without messing it up. can somone give me a step by step instruction. thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
first go to the stickied HardSpl thread, follow the directions there to install that, then come back here, download the rom, and click on the exe inside the .7z file and follow those instructions.

UPDATE: if there are no bugs in this build other than the zoom bar, next version will have TF3d Cooked in. P.S. Next version is TF3D Skinned... hehe
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
UPDATE: Build 21815 is now booting on the topaz, just have to fix a few things here and there, but looks like the next update will be with the new build. :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A preview of whats to come in the TF3D version (open to suggestions aswell!)

So what do you think? Its my first time messing with TF3D skins so im open to suggestions and crits.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Thewizzz:
Looks extremely well. Will test it as soon as I can.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zimmicz:
So manilla is included, right?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Next build, I wanted to get the new build number up first, but manilla works and will be out soon.

Speaking of such. New build is being uploaded right now. Same link as before in first post. Should be up in about 10min after this post.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] rmdort:
Is the new build with TF3D?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thorfr:
no in this one i think there will have an other version :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
Oh i know, I hope that the new apps will be more finger friendly, fast, and usable with a somewhat standardized interface. or at least useful in some way. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] RufusThorne:
I can't wait for the next release, Shadowline!

Wifi bug means my Topaz battery only currently lasts around 8 hours or so :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] nex7er:
Sup, Shady?

Got your rom installed on my Norwegian Topaz, and have to say; I'm lovin' it. I only dislike the speed being slow (understandable), so hope you'll be doing some tweaks later on, with this new rom.

Any way you'll add TouchFLO3D 2.6 to this 23037?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

is it possible to change the WM6.5 menus to the HTC Menus?

(the menues that pop up when you press and hold on a file)

and is there a patch to change the start menu to 4 rows? (i know there is a poll but is there actually a file to do this?)

thanks

MG
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] low-dogg:
new builds?

Any info about new builds coming up?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tinker2000:
I have been playing with this new ROM for a couple of hours and the main issue I have is that the today screen does not show album art or my Windows live image properly.

FYI FM Radio doesnt work for me either.. Not much of an issue for me

I had a couple of strange moments when changing themes, where it wouldnt show the tabs.. weird, cant describe it really.

I have no issues with the WIFI bug because I'm sat in my living room connected to WIFI.

There are pixellation problems and the odd alignment issue here and there, but this is a very very useable ROM

That bloody magnifier - I have turned off. Thanks for the registry edit tips

The user name is sorted after registry edit.

Personally I dont like ROMs with lots of added programs and included in my list of please dont do's are:

Microsoft tag

QR Quick Reader

Total Commander

I appreciate that some people use these, but many dont. Would it be possible to include these, but allow them to be removed via the add / remove programs in the system settings (I have seen another chef do this)

Excellent ROM otherwise. Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VistaX:
What is new in the new build, and when will you release it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jrodizzkool01:
Well i don't use this rom, but the themes that you have with the rounded edges look great on my touch pro. Any chance of making more?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] froidstar:
its gonna be called Windows Marketplace
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shadowline:
How does right now sound? :D

I plan to, i just lack inspiration for my next theme.

Not what I was talking about, I mean the apps themselves need to be more user friendly and not the same old thing we have seen already.

Anyway Here is my latest test rom, I am not updating the main post as this has not even been tested by me yet so I need your input.

This version is the same build 23037 as the last but done using l3v5y's latest optimized kitchen. There could be new bugs, and missing features but I put it together within 5min because I have to go to work today but want to leave you with something to test.

Things to test in this build are all the previous bugs, and how fast is it vs the last version.

Also if there are any missing features, if this version is indeed better and lacks the wifi bug then I will continue and use that version, so I need your input on it.

Do not flash this if you are happy with the last version so far as this has nothing really new and in fact could be buggier since I may have missed some things while cooking.

In any case here is the download, please test and report back.

--> Download Now <--

Edit: just flashed it myself, the camera is broken, so just a heads up.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] low-dogg:
Downloading and will test it tomorrow.. Again good work shadowline! speed and stability is the most important.. will post again soon
