[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
When flashing, I basically save some dirs,the speeddials & call history with PIM backup, use Autoinstall for apps, have some reg-keys saved, contacts & calender I syncronize with outlook. Works sufficient for me.

Only thing that's anoying and I didn't find a way yet to transfer the Favorites from Opera/Explorer. I didn't find a file to save, nor a registry entrx I could save, and also Active Sync doesn't really bring the fav's back to my pone after flashing?

Any solution for this?

And one stupid question: "Dutty's Topaz WM6.5 Leo R8 RTM" what does RTM mean????
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Dirk:
favourites are found in Windows/Favorites folder. Back them up or use microsoft myphone app and store everything in the cloud :)

Great ROM Dutty!

Please help.

Hey mates!

I'm coming from the last leo energy rom, which was cool, but im wanting a little something more out of it... Considering your rom, and it looks great from what I've seen so far, but I'm wondering if someone could post/send me some more screenshots than the original 4 lack in details...

Thanks in advance if anyone can do me this little favor!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Here are some more:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] DPvL:
nobody, with the same problem?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ottoman96:
Thanks for the quick reply (Something that seems to be lacking in the energy rom forums ;) ). Does this version of sense have the option to have widgets in the quick links, or is that exclusively in 2.6? Thanks again in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
You're welcome. I am not sure what you mean with "quick links".

A few minor bugs already mentioned, the major one for me is exitting text messaging via all messages does not work, it just sticks there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] rumpleforeskin:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ottoman96:
The 9 button links on the home tab... They typically hold contacts/programs/bookmarks. Just wondering if in this version they have widget support yet, or if thats exclusively in 2.6. Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Can't find the action button in 2.5 only in 2.1.

Opera mobile ran poorly in R6 and it runs just as bad in R7. I'm very disappointed because other than making phone calls internet browsing is what this phone is designed for. Guess I'll be going back to R5 ... again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
Maybe it would be helpful if you said , why you think opera runs poorly in R6 and R7 .. I haven't come across any major problems, but problems can't be fixed if you don't tell what the problem is ...

Guess you just need a bigger image...I use a different background image (set via the lock screen-image) and this is full screen.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Jayedamina:
use diamond tweak in this thread..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=409540...then go down to "Data" select Disconnect After...then choose whats best for you.

Add your city: click the clock, then add city, add your city, then choose it (so that your city will be selected and not My Location).

Then go to settings (in manila) - location. Uncheck Htc location service. Check 'automatically decline..' then switch off the top button that says 'improve location service..'

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] eskasi:
Its out... R8 :) Can someone tell me what the difference is between the Leo and the Topaz phone canvas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kevinlow:
not too sure if i m correct.. leo canvass is with conference call and topaz canvass is with the 3G call..correct me if i m wrong..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
You are correct. Topaz - video call. Leo - conference call.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] eskasi:
THanks for the clarification of different phone canvas guys! As I have no 3G network available to me here... I suppose I will go ahead and use the Leo canvas!

And thanks Dutty! You are the man!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ebichuman:
It's on the front page somewhere but Topaz phone canvas supports conference calling and the Leo one supports video calls.

I'm about to flash Topaz. Don't know if there is any graphical difference or not.

Thanks for the release Dutty. I've flashed a lot of ROMs since I joined here but I rarely take the time out to say thanks. So errr... thanks mate! Will get around to a donation when I can.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ctbear:
Thanks Dutty! Downloading R8 now :D

Since Dutty does not plan to change the messaging client, does anyone know how to switch it to something else?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ebichuman:
Seems really smooth at the moment. I miss the old messaging client with the send button above the attachment button but otherwise seems perfect.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
Yes. If you just used search to search for 'disable messaging' then you would find this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556614

You will have to hit all messages when you want to respond to a message, and not hit the message shown in manila messages tab.

Just flashed the R8 and I can say is way faster than udk R4. way way way faster. Twitter still not working for me (using vodafone live - proxy).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] noshet:
Battery Drain

Thanks Duttys for the great rom...

I had R7 flashed yesterday...now i'm trying R8.

One thing I notice on R7 is the battery is draining so fast...now my Topaz power doesn't last a day....

Is this just me? or is this common for manila 2.5 roms?

Note: I use push mail schedule every 15 min/60min

will see how it goes with R8...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
It's your first manila 2.5 rom? If yes, it's not because R7 is a more battery drainer than other 2.5 ROMS. It's just it consumes more battery to run the more complex 2.5 UI.

ANYBODY: is twitter working in data connection? I'm trying for the last 10 hours and nothing. Tried to set up the time correctly, to erase the data values from registry etc. Any more ideas? From wi-fi works fine. Not from 3G data connection (it doesn't even make a data connection).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] johnus:
Twitter works for me in both WiFi and 3G (on AT&T) although quite often it fails the first time and I have to hit retry. But it eventually works.

Can someone tell me how to use footprints, because i select new footprint, take a picture and then nothing happens?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TheGentAtXDA:
Is there any cooked ROM with a full working footprints out? Would it help to reinstall Footprints from a cab?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alxalx:
Sorry for the question i found it in the R8 Changelog! :o ("Footprints now worked which you just launch Footprints, take a Pic after GPS is enabled, go to HTC Album and click on pic and click menu and save as Footprints.")
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
using a picture as wallpaper

For all who do not like animated or weather wallpaper:

1. Convert you desired wallpaper to png format, and rename it to "wallpaper_default.png" exactly.

2. Registry edit:

\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\<Home.WallpaperMode>

Change value to "2"

3. Copy the png you converted into the "Windows" folder.

Reset, and there you go! :)

Somewhere in this thread I read that the proxy needs to be disabled, and also how this has to be done. Give it a try.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ben_pyett:
Do you mean the MS Facebook application? or the Manila Facebook Contacts Integration?

Please could people who have already flashed R8 explain exactly what part of the Facebook integration isn't working in R8?

Events Refresh?

Individual Contact Picture Download?

Individual Contact Status Update?

Full Contacts Picture Update?

Full Contacts Status Update?

etc...

The full Contact Status update was only just fixed in R7. I like this feature and will not flash R8 if it's now broken.

Many Thanks for your input.

I setup an alarm writing a description.

Ifi try to modify, it show no descriptions, but if i touch the text it will show up.

However the alarm doesnt always work (i have this problem since R7 and now in R8).

one more thing. anyone more has a problem with the alarm. it doesen't work at all (in may case)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ben_pyett:
I use two alarms each day to wake me up , no problems with R7.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
Can you explain in detail what the issue is? Usend the clock-alarm worked fine on R6 where I used my TD2 as alarm clock while traveling. Altough I use the Lock screen and device is in sleep mode alarm always worked.

As you mentioned "text" what alarm do you use? An calender entry ?

The reminders from dates in the calender work fine on my (currently used R7) never had an issue with the reminders from calendar.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Alarms work great here no issues.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ben_pyett:
I believe that's its the manila contacts Facebook integration that no longer works in R8 (this was only fixed in R7) waiting on more info or until this evening when I flash
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kaas11:
Dutty, thnx for another great rom. They keep getting better and better!

Some small (not really annoying) bugs i found:

- logging in to twitter aint working for me, i get a Login Error "there was a connection error while attempting to login" . I had this problem before in R7, but after soft-reseting and trying to login several times in suddenly worked. Still not working at R8 right now.

-when i go to taskmanager in the right corner, it keeps(not always) showing up "Start" (from htc messaging) even though i closed it.

-in really regret the disappearance of the send button in htc messaging.. is it possible to bring it back and use the left soft key for back again, but still use the conversation mode?

Also , when typing a sms i can't close it. (left softkey is send, and no X in the right corner)

-missing link for choosing a normal wallpaper(even though its possible to choose trough animated wallpaper..

-at the people tab , The quick links which i didnt fill in show up as a big blank square.. This happened to me after i reverted to my old pim.vol

anyway..these are all minor bugs , i can live with them.

oh, btw. facebook is working fine here, as well is the alarm.

thnx again Dutty for all the great work!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
I have noticed that logging on in Twitter was impossible after I installed htcAddicts CleanRam. As soon as I have uninstalled it and install RamSweeper logging on is OK again.

Maybe this helps you.

Contact Picture Home Screen and other issues

Anyone else has this? When I ad a contact to the homescreen tab I only get the name but not the picture (stays empty) - in the Contact it's working.

In R6 it was also fine.

Also ...

-> changing the Background does not work from Hometab but only from Settings

-> still - when switching to german (over Registry Hack) the Albumpictures are trippeld in the slideshow ... anyone has a solution for this?

Best Regards

I am new to manila 2.5. i had same issue with manila 2.1 and can you please confirm the following behavior. It is driving me nuts.

The weather and location on home screen does not update after the preset time interval . I have tried 2 hours, 30 minutes and 15 minute intervals from the weather settings.

now, If I go to weather tab, it updates location and weather on weather tab and also on home screen.

Is this behavior normal? has HTC designed it this way?

Other than this, the ROM is working nice.. Surprisingly a lot lighter than Official 6.5 ROM. No issues with Alarms or Facebook or Contacts. I did a hard reset immediately after flashing.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pur_berger:
Ah - a little more explanation - when I want to choose a Album Picture - I only get HTC Weather and animated background -> the animated and the weather are working - but when I choose "Album" over the animated selection and select a picture it isn't shown

hey again. its manila clock alarm.

well unfortunatly I need al 3 alarm's to wake up:D

so I've set then all at 2 minutes diference. and they didn's sound o give any signal at all.

Now if I turn the screen on at very minut, the alarm will sound.

if I set only one alarm to do off it will sound. two or more, not.

I'm using R8 and my Autoinstall file is realy big:D but in theory only one program could cause this and is a automatic screen bloq.

i'll test it wrigh't now

edit: test show that it's the program that's causing all these truble. sorry to have vasted your time.

@Dutty

Thanks for the update, the Online Album view is now perfectly working well!!!

The ROM is almost perfect but i found another bug in R8 related to the facebook functionality in the ROM. I'm pretty sure the bug was not in R7.

Open the contacts tab, do not open a specific contact but go to the 4th tab "updates and events". The event-functionality is working well, but the update-funcionality which is supposed to update all the status updates from your contacts with a facebook link is not working. It says "update" a very long time but status updates are not fetched.

It works only when you open a single contact which you know has been updated and go in the specific contact view to the 4th tab "updates and events" and update only the single contact. These updates are then shown in the general "updates and events" view in the contacts. But from the general "updates and events" you cannot update the status.

This normally is a very useful feature becaus you don't have to open the ****ty MS-Facebook app but can see all status updates directly from your contacts. Can you please fix this?

Would it be possible to fix this with a .cab? Because i reinstalled everything yesterday the third time in 2 days after R7 -> bug -> stock ROM -> R8 -> now bug.... :)

Thanks in advance!!!

Don't find on the moment where it was.

Found it: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide and make the value 0. Then softreset.

Or just disable htc sense in today settings. Set your owner information then enable it back.
