[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xelasha:
Hey guys was wondering about flashing my HTC Touch Diamond, But I want a decent ROM.

Something that's not too packed up full of junk, Easy to use and a better performance.

Also maybe a guide to unlocking/debranding this phone along with a flash guide if that's not too much?

cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GuestD2255:
From one newbie to another, you should read the sticky posts... they are full guides and information about flashing your phone's ROM / Radio etc.

The forum 'Search' facility is your friend, it like's to be used. That's what I did and found all I needed to know about the available ROM's and Flashing process without having to ask a single question. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rajas:
The New World ROM introduced a much-improved version of the Open Firmware interpreter, version 3.0, which added many missing features, fixed most of the bugs from earlier versions, and had the capability to run CHRP boot scripts. The Toolbox ROM was embedded inside a CHRP script in the System Folder called "Mac OS ROM", along with a short loader stub and a copy of the Happy Mac icon (in Mac OS X 10.2 and higher, this was replaced with a silhouette of the Apple logo on a blank gray screen) suitable for display from Open Firmware. Once the ROM was loaded from disk, the Mac boot sequence continued as usual. As before, Open Firmware could also run a binary boot loader, and version 3.0 added support for ELF objects as well as the XCOFF files versions 1.0.5 and 2.0 supported. Also, version 3.0 (as well as some of the last releases of version 2.x, starting with the PowerBook 3400) officially supported direct access to the Open Firmware command prompt from the console (by setting the auto-boot? variable to false from Mac OS, or by holding down Command-Option-O-F at boot).

In official AT&T 6.1 rom build 20771, you can actually assign PTT button to Start_Menu in settings. Anyone knows how to port this so that I can cook it in the rom?

I have been using Da_G's 6.5 rom (great work, thanks!).

Rom version is: Version 5.11.502.2 WWE

Can't you do this with all Da_G's roms already?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
Yes, the button aps in the later WM 6.5 builds include the PTT mod.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sidliu:
No, Da_G's mod uses HOME button to bring up the start menu. I use Goodlink a lot for the company email etc and I need a quick click to get to the home screen.

Using Da_G's PTT mod, I can assign any apps to PTT button but not the standard <Start Menu>

Hello everybody!!!

I'm from Cambodia.I use HD TOUCH HD with Original ROM WM6.1.I want to upgrade to WM6.5.I downloaded Energy ROM6.5,Dutty ROM 6.5,and Miri ROM 6.5 I really like these Roms and I want to use it in my phone,but when I upgrade and use it it has the same problems :

1.Run not smooth(if I try to touch or open more programs my phone will restart).

2.The simcard in my phone not detect(It doesn't has my country in the list).

What should I do with these problems?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It sounds like you have not followed the steps in the guide (see link in my signature). You need to first upgrade your SPL from the stock version to either USPL 1.54 or HSPL 1.56. Read the guide and follow the steps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Follow flashing guide in either ClydeB1's signature or my signature and post further queries there regarding USPL, HSPL or flashing.

Is Google smart enough to know which contact details are more recent than others? If I restore my entire phone from a Nandroid backup, will the older contact information from the phone overwrite the newer contact details in my Google account?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncle Irish:
I ran into something similar. I had edited my contact info and not done a sync. Did a nandroid backup, then had a crash.

Did a nandroid restore, then synced and my contact info was merged. I had two of some contacts, so I just went to Google online and did the merge option from there. It's faster there than on the phone and then you can sync that back down to your phone.

Hope that helps somehow.. confusing when I read it again, but I know what I was trying to get across... hopefully it worked, lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endolith:
Yeah, I just went through a whole bunch of contacts and cleaned them up, merged them, etc in Gmail a few days ago. The phone was in sync, but then it locked up, so now I'm using a backup from a week ago. I don't want it to sync with old info and then have to go through and merge all that stuff again. :/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncle Irish:
unfortunately, you sound like you're boned...

I have over 200 contacts so its not too bad when 20 or so go all weird on me

can't imagine having to do all 200. that would suck

Not unless it overwrites them. I haven't connected to Wi-Fi yet, so it hasn't done anything. Oh! I could wipe Google data in Titanium and then sync.

[Touch 3G ROM Development] speedflyzz:
One questions guys, don't we have a hardware button restriction on the Jade if we want to run Android on the Jade?

I have downloaded the Android emulator and started messing around with it & with my very limited knowledge it looks like we are at least 3 hardware buttons short on the front of the Jade, a Home button, back button & Menu button.

If I am wrong, great, but if not, how can we bypass the missing hardware buttons?
[Touch 3G ROM Development] heidewitzgar:
Also interesting is this article, which lowers my interest in getting android on my Jade a lot. Guess we all have to live with the fact that android will never be a real possibility on our Jades.. and just for playing around, I guess no dev wants to waste time porting it..

Hi guys,

Been busy sorting a nice Poker Timer for Windows Mobile and have a hit a brick wall. Obviously I want the app to consume as little power as poss, so need to let the screen go off. The trouble is my app stops running when it enters suspend mode, this must be a common problem and need some advice on how to get around it. Any tricks or tips?

I've already tried various methods, including registering the app for Unattended mode which didn't seem to work.

Any help appreciated and a free copy of the timer for the person who gives me a nice workable solution ;)

Thanks!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rootbit:
Hey, I noticed something weird the other day when using a car Handfree harness, the magic barely reacted to touches of my index finger, even if i press hard, it only reacted to the thumb, but if i hold the device is my hand, it reacted to the pointer finger just fine

same when placing the magic on the table

any idea of why that is? it makes it pretty irritating to dial from the car.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rootbit:
Did anyone else notice this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cedricberger:
Does it have the problem on any table (metal/wood/...)?

And if hold (by you) just lightly touching the table, but with no pressure on it ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nmesisca:
Thats weird but I actually noticed this on my Magic TIM (32a) even with daldroid rom!

I thought I just had a bad dream :) im kinda relieved im not alone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rootbit:
I also have a 32a board.

I installed Cyanogen.

Still the same issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] donepate:
The touch screens on these devices are not pressure sensitive. They measure capacative discharge, or the passing of current from the finger to the screen (or vice versa). If you are not contacting the device and basicaly "grounding" yourself to it, it may not register the contact. Sorry if my tech terms are bad.
[General Questions and Answers] rohdeo:
Ok,

I have an HTC FUZE. When I disable TF3D so that it is just WM 6.1, I would like to use a background that is not simply the default one for whichever theme I decide to use. Now, I know how to change the background by clicking the little box in the today settings and choosing my background. BUT here's where the problem comes in.

No matter what wallpaper or image I choose as my background on any WM theme, the image brightens itself. The brightness is the same as the brightness of the start menu when you drop it down with the stock background for that theme.

Any suggestions for how to fix this?
[General Questions and Answers] callmemoe:
Use the Pictures and Videos application to set the background. You can adjust the transparency there.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ezmc:
Hi, I probably sound like a complete noob when I ask this (in all honesty i'm not technologically savvy), but after reading the safety instructions that came with the Touch Pro 2 I have a question. The user manual says the antenna area (towards the top on the back of the device) should not be touched as it will lead to further RF energy exposure and also affect performance/battery life. What I'd like to ask is, is RF energy transmitted only when making/taking a call? Or is it transmitted whenever the device is in use (e.g. when texting, browsing the net, etc. etc.)? It's quite uncomfortable to always avoid touching the top of the device, and I'd be happy to learn that I'd only need to do this while in a call.

thanks for any help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
It has to transmit whenever you send something to the tower. Sending a text message and browsing the internet (requests for things form servers) will make it transmit. Don't worry about it when you are browing or texting, but keep your hand off the antenna for maximum signal when talking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ezmc:
thanks for the info. Also, the RF energy is too low-level to present a danger to a person's health even if the antenna area is touched right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rick#2:
Haha, is this for real?

I don't think you need to worry about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RogerStenning:
hint: A phone may emit something like half a watt (=< 500mW) of RF energy, if you're lucky. A Cell Phone tower transmits over one hundred times that (=> 500 W plus). Your average television transmission tower emits maybe a MegaWatt or more (=> 1MW plus).

Which is more dangerous?

Which do folks carp on about?

:p:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
It also has to "check in" with the tower on a regular basis. Just to let it know you're in coverage area and can receive a call/message/etc.

Still not really dangerous.

i managed to pair my MDA compact IV(HTC victor, redesigned diamond) with my targus bluetooth thumbpad(asked for password twice, 1st one i hit next, 2nd one i hit cancel and the keyboard wass added to the list of devices) but i can't type.

even worse, it seems the keyboard itself doesn't even know it's paired to my phone.

using the software from targus is useless, the v1 says the code on my keyboard is wrong and the v2 needs registration through a site with a broken registration page.

the blue connect light stays blinking the whole time.

now i read before that someone else got it working on a diamond, so could anyone help me through this problem?

EDIT: fixed it.

i uninstalled all traces of bluetooth keyboard software, and then re-paired it but i filled in a security pass.

previously this failed because i entered a numerical pass and forgot to hold the sym(symbol) key while pressing the number keys

sanding paper 6000 grit+ ( gluck finding those )

or maybe cd scratch remover

I never tried any of those so you might want to wait for a more appropriate answer :p

** I remove my ps3 scratches with 2k grit sand paper , some wax and voila no more scratches but I'm really not sure if 6000 grit paper or even 8000-12000 grit paper might do the job for a screen. Try it on a very old screen if you ever want to try sanding down your screen :D
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
Try using tooth paste, yes toothpaste, the colgate kind, it has some grit to it. No guarantees though, be careful, not responsible for minty fresh dead phones.
[G1 Accessories] MaliceMcGuire:
or google that stuff advertised in the late 90's to remove scrathes from eyeglasses... was I thing a self leveling polymer or some such.... but not to expencive
[G1 Accessories] TigerTael:
This is your best bet but you're going to have to be careful not to leave any on the screen where there is no scratch.

These are capacitive touchscreens, the surface of the glass/screen is special.

[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
Edit: Nevermind... Applesauce only works for ipods. Evidently it's too abrasive for the iphone, so it would be too abrasive for us too.
[G1 Accessories] crpercodani:
Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.

Google "displex for touch screen" and you will come up with a ton of results saying it is not for touchscreens, especially capacitive like the G1 because it will remove the indium tin oxide that conducts the electric flow across the screen.
[G1 Accessories] samygent:
i guess sanding is out of question then :D

i tough there was some plastic protector to protect the real screen
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
Some of the screen protectors can hide scratches when applied. The Invisible Shield has been known for this due to its flexible material. No guarantees though.
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I can confirm this, I actually just used a screen protector on my old VX6900 Vogue, it made most of the scratches disappear except for this one very very deep one.
[G1 Accessories] AdamPI:
I got some of the mirror protectors, a bit meh, kinda covers one of the 2 small scratches on my screen (not that they are that noticeable anyway). I have the standard kind in the post, so I'll try one of those when they get here.

Vaseline works great on most standard LCDs. The day I bought a 19" WS LCD I knocked it over, coffee all over it, but on it's way down it caught the edge of my baccy tin, leaving a bright blue stuck pixel in the middle of a scratch (arghh). Luckily I was able to massage out the pixel and cover over the scratch with some clear Vaseline, it's still visible, but only from extreme angles (way beyond the viewing angle of the screen).
[G1 Accessories] crpercodani:
Sounds good for a tv but for a touch screen device....vaseline? would make for a difficult experience
[G1 Accessories] AdamPI:
Yeah I mean it won't work on a phone, it's pretty good on a proper LCD, I think because the refractive properties are far closer to the material than air.

Hi there,

i had the same problem here, the clock stopped to update in TF3D. (The clock itself works fine.. ) A softreset did not helped, but 2x runs of "cleanRAM" solved the problem so far.

Another problem i noticed is, after running Klaxxon sometimes the whole phone will loose 95% of its cpu-performance. Softreset will fix this.

Next problem belongs to the camera. Sometimes camera go into a "save-loop" when pictures got saved to internal flash (not 4GB device)

So long, Christian
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lsgnobody:
Guys, Gen.Y D2 R2-Rev.Y has its own thread... there´s no reason creating something else just to solve your problems...

So, the clock problems have been reported there several times, and you may find that one of those is the issue:

- usage with some alarm utility (such as pocketalarm, klaxxon, etc)

- usage with S2u2: I don´t have this problem myself but it´s been reported, so, try to avoid it

- bad flash: read the MTTY thread and try to flash your device again, using that process.

If the problem persists... well, you´re free to get back to whichever ROM you find more suitable, since it´s been reported as well in the thread that some devices will keep - still - freezing the clock.

Good luck. And I guess, moderator, you can close this thread.

Now put the your timezone.

SOLUTION

I had been petrified with the clock hanging issue for a long time, but these simple steps seemed to have solved my prob,

1. Diable TF3D from Today.

2. Restart would be preferable.

3. Diable automatic time zone change in settings>phone

4. Again a restart would be preferred.

5. Adjust time in settings>clock if required.

6. Start TF3D from today.

Try it out, works well for me :)

I used to have the same problem with pocketshield installed, it was because I have a pin set for my sim when the phone starts up, and if pocketshield started to load before touch flo it caused the clock locking up problems, so as soon as the pin screen comes up insert pin quick and press enter then all is fine, or remove the sim pin.
