[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

This setting is a waste of time, as you need your mobile operator to support A-GPS for a start, and then you must have the correct settings entered which are not exposed in Advanced Configuration. By default the phone will be trying to contact an HTC test server which can't be reached from any mobile network.

Disable A-GPS for best results unless you have the settings required and it is supported by your mobile operator.

I just noticed that the Tasks screen on my MDA is T Mobile UK branded....they have taken off Email & Messaging and replaced it with Album & Google Maps.

See the attachment I added is the HTC version, and that is what I want. When I slide keyboard out, I like to be able to tap either messaging or Email and type away, not Album & Google Maps!

So is there a way to remove those 2 and put Email & Messaging back?

Thanks in advance,

Wayne.

P.S. I have a MDA Vario IV (T Mobile UK)

You could use the "New Landscape" by 12aon here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=475557

not only will you get the things you want, but even more functionality. It's a pretty sweet modification :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WayneMcMillan:
That looks good, would definitely try it, but as it's T-Mobile branded, the MDA is a little, shall we say..."Pink" themed :confused: and this little app's colour wouldn't look right lol

Is there a way at all, to replace the Album & Google Maps in the Tasks Screen with Email & Messaging? I looked in the registry and can find nothing obvious....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
I'm not 100% sure, but if you change the theme using TF3D Config, it should carry over the email & messaging, that way you won't have that maps and album button :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WayneMcMillan:
Ok well, this is all very confusing, so I think I will give up for now.

I was just told that the only way to change the buttons in the Tasks Screen (when you slide the keyboard out) is to re-flash the ROM with HTC's own ROM.

I have never flashed a ROM in my life, don't understand the instructions, so I think I will leave it for the time being and put up with T Mobile's silly "pink" TouchFLO 3D (I hate branding lol). The New Landscape by 12aon is black themed, but T Mobile's theme is pink, so I don't think it'd work lol.

Thanks to those who helped & replied.

[G1 General] IMTREX:
Hello there!

May be somebody knows or can help me with the following issue:

On my G1:

When taking a picture and sending it as MMS, the software resizes the original picture to very small arroung 20Kb size.

Though the receiver gets it very small.

On my Windows Mobile I can choose resize options before compressing the picture and so sending it as MMS with between 200-250kB and it becomes a nice picture at the receiver's side.

I tried everything but I am not able to find out to get the size adjusted bigger when sending out of the camera application within the G1 to MMS.

So I am not using the G1 for MMS sending, but I am want to send pictures from our baby to Grandma. :)

May be somebody has an idea?

Thank you,

Dieter
[G1 General] Senorkabob:
Send picture from your Gmail to (PhoneNumber)@tmomail.com.
[G1 General] lukekirstein:
You can always send pictures from your Gmail account at full size (instead of selecting MMS, of course, select Gmail) and you can also do what senorkabob suggeseted, which is to send it from Gmail to a phone number.

However, you're best off letting it compress because large MMS messages to some providers have problems downloading, and some may not download larger than a certain size in the first place.

In reality, the picture will go through two compression "sequences", one when you send it, and another when the person receives it. It's all up to the receiver to determine how large the picture gets. Different phones will get different sizes. I know the G1 can receive MMS pictures as large as 680x440, depending on what the picture size was originally. Older phones get smaller pictures, newer phones get larger pictures.

Hi,

I have just recieved an unlocked G1 in India I have gone through the forums and am confused on how to upgrade my G1 to a cooked ROM

My current firmware is RC27

I would like to load virtuedude's Rogers ROM with exchange support

Based on the threads I have identified the steps to be performed could someone kindly advise me if the order is correct

1. Get Root Access

2. Change Radio

3. Load new SPL

4. Load virtuedude's ROM

Is this the order to be followed

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iorga1:
Hi,

I haven t flashed my diamond yet.

But yesterday I installed the spb 3 and it s amazing.

I even think it s faster...

Well, so my questions:

is there a diamond theme for spb3.0?

i ve seen there s one for 2.1, but it s not working on 3.0

Should I put a ROM for my diamond?

I want it to be as fast as possible (and possibly the touch screen to be more sensitive)

Which ROM would you advise me? (and can it be compatible with SPB3?)

I m not asking how to do it, just the latest ROMS avail that are faster and smoother.

i haven t properly understood how i can see what is inside each rom.

basically i want GPS working, i want tasks and calendar, internet and wifi and radio.

maybe a better video player cause the ones i have do suck.

That's it, thanks guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iorga1:
EDIT:

i have WM 6.1 how should I update to 6.5? is it easy? free?

i can t update weather data with SPB MS 3.

I have internet, it works.

but when I click UPDATE it does nothing...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MrCreel:
Yes its free.

Yes its easy.

Run hardspl on ur diamond, and download one of the roms in this forum, then connect ur phone via activesync, start the program.

Then ur set to go.

Sry if that was a little hard to read, but i just woke up :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iorga1:
ok thanks.

so you're telling me that WM6.5 comes preshipped inside some ROMS, is that correct?

Any ROM compatible with SPB MS3 and super light (but with GPSToday, Tomtom, Coreplayer or similar, wifi and some extra apps?)

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mjaxa:
Flash ANYTHING else than the stock ROM and you will see about speed and smooth... :D And THEN compare it with SPB...

Win 6.5 is NOT OFFICIAL YET, so you can't have it in "preshipped" roms. What;s' out there is leaked betas.

Fast 6.1 Rom - Nataly (check Pietrucci's benchmarks), comes with kitchen so you can set it up the way you want.

Fast 6.5 rom - well, they are not THAT fast and consume more memory.

If you have manila CFC compressed, and a fast rom, then SPB doesn't offer any real advantages. It's just something different. I tried it, and, hmm... came back to TF3D. it's functional, smooth, etc. I tried to put out "i got used to it" factor, as you can get used to spb shell too. it's just that I didn't found any real (speed or memory) reasons to use SPB. And fork extra money for it on the top of it... TF3D is free after all....

As well, when it comes to the applications -you install what you want, don't expect to have tomtom in rom, apart from other things it's illegal.... ROM is a base. then you customize it (in kitchen ) or install what you want after.

Good luck in search for optimum config!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iorga1:
thanks for your answer.

ok so basically you're telling me SPB is not that fast compared to ROMs avail out there, and its functionnality is not that evident.

I like it a lot (though no way to update weather)

And my ROM is 1.93.,,,, radio 1.25... so it s not that outdated, is it?

which ROM should I put in order to have at least the same than what I have?

Cause it seems ROM development was huge some time ago, and you guys had the HTC diamond a long time ago... mine has 4 months, and this means it might come shipped with an already decent ROM. I wouldn t like to flash it with an older ROM and see some features/apps disappear... do you see what I mean?

Am I wrong? cause the google entries only show roms from 2008... is there anything newer out there?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MrCreel:
SPB is just a today app, u can still use spb after installing new rom.

Belive me, if u install other roms like Energy ROM, it will be faster, smother and better.

After installing new rom just install SPB again.

Even if it looks like its older roms here, it aint.

Hope this answer will help you.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iorga1:
thanks guys

i read all this info a long time ago, did not upgrade, so I forgot a lot.

But I understand the ideas and the vocabulary :)

You said 2 things:

- upgrade the HTC site ROM. ok but it is not recognised when I type in my serial number. cause telefonica movistar SPN is a bit annoying for this.

as far as i remeber my readings, this would be solved when hardspl and ROM flashed.

- the numbers taht appear on the table, do not correspond to mines. So I guess this means I should get one of those, and try to proceed to the upgrade.

Is is worth? (i think it s better to get rid of that annoying logos and themes and crappy heavy processes shipped in the movistar ROM and grab the ENERGY one, or another one like Rhodian (have to read)

Anyway thanks for your answers.

I ll try to flash the ROM. First have to make a backup.

:)

also i might have a dump of the ROM for guarantee purposes, done few months ago :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mrm2007:
Hi,

Because speed is important, My suggestion is BsB ROM Specially Version J.(Windows Mobile 6.5)

Version L is slightly slower (Because of 10mb pp instead of 16mb-not big difference)

I'm using BsB ROM+SPB Mobile shell V3 and it works like a charm.

Good Luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mjaxa:
When it is about speed, a review "works like a charm" is, how to say, highly subjective ;)

I recommend the benchmark thread by pietrucci - so far this is the only objective test of many diamond roms.. and according to that, 6.5 is not that fast...

Sorry - that's what the benchmarks say...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406640
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] halloj:
I agree, but I must say that SPB 3 with a standard rom is a lot faster than any rom with TFLO that I've tested.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mrm2007:
Hi,

Thanks for the benchmark, but i have to say :

1) Bsb 6.5 ROM isn't in benchmark . i also can't see Energy WM6.5 ROM in this benchmark. These two are fastest available 6.5 ROMs for diamond (in my opinion)

2) in my personal experience, spb mobile shell 3 on Bsb ROM, is faster than any Other 6.5 or 6.1 ROM.(specially if you change pp to 16mb-default is 10).

3)I think Bsb ROM is Quick because of Excellent Memory Management. with Mobile shell 3 running, i have more than 50MB free Memory after Boot(pp=10MB) and without SPB More than 61MB.

Give it a try, i'm sure that you won't be disappointed. :D

Good Luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mjaxa:
OK, you may be right, but still, in order to say "is fast" you need to compare it to hard data. If you want to bother you should install SPB Benchmark and run it on this ant that rom, and ONLY then you will really see.

Having said that, at the end it doesn't really matter. What matter's is user comfort/feeling :D

And about memory - so you say "i have more than 50MB free Memory after Boot(pp=10MB) and without SPB More than 61MB." hmmm. In my configured rom (including extra apps like lumos, keyboard switcher, etc) after reset I have 56MB free. Without TF3d 64MB. So... this is rather standard for me :D Nothing special here...

But ultimately it comes to personal preference. I like Nataly, because there is kitchen and I can "trim" the ROM to my personal taste. Of course, the speed and LOTS of memory doesn't hurt... :)

but this is my suggestion on how to upgrade your device (that's been written in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=460145) :

Up ROM Guides: (up from MMC)

- Battery over 70%, MiniSD is smaller than 2G, format FAT16 (on PC is FAT).

- Download and extract with the password below, copy file AL1.DIO to MMC.

- Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first => ***MiniSD Detected*** => waiting 100%, Atom Life auto reset and you have new ROM!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] fuligin:

Thanks armand_x3m

So it seems to be as simple as the instructions. I shall attempt it and see if I have a working phone after that :) For some reason Im thinking that this upgrading procdure is more complicated then the simple instructions.
