Upgrade?

Is it worth upgrading from a good working Pride IV to V? What are the big benefits? Is the true that the new Topaz Rom 2.53 extends the Battery time to almost 4 days?

And I would be really grateful for a hint whats the best way to backup the phones so I could really quickly import my old contacts with pictures, sms and everything

Thanks for answers in advance!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:
use PIM backup for contacts, sms and mails and look for sashimi to backup your setting and registry key.

For contact with pictures, if you have outlook on your pc and you synchronize it with your topaz, you'll have for sure contacts and pictures... furthermore you can also import/export mail, task and favorites
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] komsa:
...fantastic ROM again.........thanks for Pride V:):):)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hinsen:
is it me or has the battery life increased in Pride V?

Thanks for the great ROM!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
oh yeah :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Blasev, do you use Prime or Pride? Just out of curiousity... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] keanyiap:
lol...want to know as well:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
are u sure u want the truth.......

I'm proud to use Pride, and tempted to use Prime as primary.

so I go back and forth, but as usual I always use the base rom as intended

right now base is 2.53 so it has sense 2.5 as default --> I use TESS Prime

before the base is 1.XX and it has sense 2.1 as default --> I use TESS Pride

hope that answer :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Sortof... so then its not just me... :D now i'm on Prime...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Blasev, do you find that Sense 2.1 performs better with 2.1x ROM base? Or is it just perception?

Because I am actually thinking about going back to Pride IV... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
nope. it was not even a perception.

I just like to use the original rom, but with a LOT of !aman! magic on it :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Ok, thanks. Because what I felt is that Pride V is faster than Pride IV...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
u keep switching between these ROMs, sometimes praising x, sometimes praising y and sometimes z.. i really dont know what to say about that. u really should take ur time, use one ROM, decide which one to keep and then comment on that. i've more expectations from u in this regard.

PS: i've almost made up my mind about pride V being the final in this series.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I know I have had it coming... :)

EDIT: And yes, I have praised ROMs in the past, but I am just an enthusiastic guy.... That will not change...

What is final is that I use TESS ROMs... I have had Prime III on my phone for the last 5 days now, and am happy... and you are correct, this is probably the longest I have ever had a single ROM on my Topaz since HSPL came out...

And yes, I have to /want to/ decide on a single ROM, simply because reinstalling, customizing just takes up too much of my time, when using the device should be priority number one...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
enthusiasm is most welcome, however repeated changing and chopping isnt :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Got is master chef! :)

Sticking to Prime and thats the end of the story.

BTW: whats chopping?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
lol :D u can read about it here :

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chopping

it might just translate

choose what u like then enjoy it... by stop the cut, split, or dice method of choosing

hahaha
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kucheto00:
!Aman! has always done a great jobs and the Pride ROM is definitely what I'm sticking with - very quick, stable, reliable, including my 5 emails, exchange, and other apps....just b e a u t i f u l :D

Couple of things I noticed in Pride IV:

--When the phone was on H (3G) many times it wouldn't pick up an incoming phone call - using the slider or the button. When on Edge or GPRS it would always pick up, always!

--The wireless router let's me connect to it but I cannot browse the Net (only wired Internet Sharing worked)

Does anyone know if Pride V has these symptoms?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Both work just fine with Pride V, though both worked just fine with Pride IV...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] oelapoel:
does it mean you are gonna start cooking 6.5.3 for topaz now chef?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
not really.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kucheto00:
I have HTC Pure with AT&T and so do 3 friends of mine. All of us ran Pride IV and had both of these issues, same exact issues

--When on 3G, incoming call pickup would not work - 70%...using slider or button

--Using the phone as an AP (WiFi router) - PCs (Windows, Linux, MAC) connect, can ping by IP and DNS but would not browse.

I might have to try another ROM (possibly Prime III) to determine if this really is a hardware issue.

Other than that Pride has been flawless and working great!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fugazzi:
I had the same Problem

delete this reg key on device, soft reset and then test:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\TcpIp]

"MTU"=dword:514

this works for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kucheto00:
Fugazzi!!! Yes, basic networking...of course... my MTU was set to 1300...a bit too large. I deleted the dword and its working great now!!

thanks again!

I have to figure out the call pick up and phone will be perfect.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
easier would be if u set the same value in ur laptop's WLAN card.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
I'm not sure if setting such a low value on WiFi connection which has at least 11Mbits is a fortunate solution...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
its not "such" a low value, the max MTU can only be 5DC. i've been using this value for my WLAN for more than 3 years now and it works great with all the suites, apps and my Wifi Router.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
OK - I forgot that dwords are in HEXes so this is not 500 but 1300 ;). EOT from my side.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] SlideRnl:
I really love your ROMs but is there a .CAB file or a registry tweak that stops the clock from flipping 1:02 hours everytime?

EDIT:

Already found the solution here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4780018&postcount=981
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuzoenduro:
actually the rom has already this in place. Thing is if you install a task manager the 1h02 comes back, quite annoying. I ended up getting rid of the task manager and making a link for the regular one and going through it from time to time.

EDIT : Sorry, got mixed up between PRIDE and PRIME, i don't know if this version has the fix or not.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] SlideRnl:
I downloaded the newest version and it hadn't in it so I needed a fix for it. I don't like the Sense 2.5 that's why I use this version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] valkounnis:
hi there Pal,

what do you mean to figure out the phone pick up?

Does anything change after you delete the reg key?

cheers,

Val

PS AMAN and Blasev thank you :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] valkounnis:
sorry guys,

is there a fix for the Pride V 1:02 hour flip issue or not?

I have tried the solution mentioned above (replaceing the manila file in Windows folder) but with no actual result...

any ideas?

cheers,

Val
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kucheto00:
I recall the AT&T ROM image had at&t mobile tv on it with a trial. Does anyone know how I can get this app? I'm willing to do the trial and possibly buy the service, but wanted to try it first.

The Pride ROM doesn't have the app. Does anyone know where I can download it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] msyang20:
how do i change the font size of emails, texts, etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] VeyronMick:
There is a font size setting in 'Setttings -> All Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text Size'

I'm not sure if it changes the font size in all programs but it's worth a shot.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ketjov:
How do you enable haptic feedback for the keyboard on Pride V? Searched the thread but didnt find solution for this. I also see no slider to enable it in text input settings.

I really need the vibration.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kucheto00:
I haven't been able to figure this out either. It certainly would be nice to have it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
if u guys search properly u should be able to find it as i've posted about it long time ago :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] N'ash:
to enable vibration u will need a registry editor then go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>HTC>ezsip then edit "Vibration_Enablef" from 0 to 1

soft reset your phone
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ketjov:
Thanks N'ash!

Aman I did spent some time on searching this thread for the keyboard vibration issue. I only saw same question from tatoone at the begining of this thread and no answers for several pages... and the searching engine didnt came up with anything else as I tried "keyboard vibration", "heptic feedback" etc...

So assume people need answer for the problem becasue they've already used the searching thread interface and not becasue they want answer that they should search the thread ...

Anyway thanks for the ROM I'am big fan of Pride, great advance in speed from Pride IV. Thanks Aman!!!

[ Bug ] SMS Time

HII Aman! and blasev .. Thanks to both of you ..

!Aman! , you're the best chef and your Roms are Amazing " Stable , Fast , Great style and Battery life 'best' " . So THANKS ..

I have a bug with the time of the new incoming msgs (e.g. if the time on my diamond2 9:00 am and when i receive a new msg . the time of msg shows not the exact time as we said 9:00 am . it shows on the Rom different like 11:06 pm or else ..

Everyone:

If you have the fix of this issue , so please put it here or tell me where can i find it.

Thanks a lot ..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kucheto00:
Are there other ROMs with Sense 2.1?? Been looking and can't find one...

thanks!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yoppie79:
+1.................

I hope !aman! Continue build with sense 2.1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xenomoff:
Yeah that would be nice!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bnm7bnm:
almost 1 year since rom released and still its the best and most stable for topaz.

everytime after trying new roms i get back to this one cause despite the lack of features compared to 2.5 this one is most stable clean and close to stock.

i also would like an update but i don't even have suggestions what can be updated...

what i can think of:

-newer build? - but in newer builds (only with top start menu) i didn't noticed any major improvements and this 'old' build is very stable so maybe its best to keep

-making windows sms as default and remove htc messaging - its very easy to do but if remove htc messaging i'm not sure if this won't ruin sms tab in htc contacts...

-install some reset app ("Ranster device reset" is best and most clean)

-cleaner start menu - organize everything in fewer folders and remove htc shortcuts cause they're on homescreen anyway

-enable default settings in start menu

-install auto call recorder

-install opera 10

all this would be great for me but still its not worth making new rom cause its something done in 5 minutes after rom install...

maybe someone have suggestion that really worth new rom?

Guys,

Is it possible to sync contacts with

in

?

I failed to find this option.

I want to try this FW after long time playing with different Sense 2.5 ROMs.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yoppie79:
help

i love this rom, i used until now, i think if htc task manager removed, this rom will be fast, who can remove it, tell me please, thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
not sure if this will help but u can try:

OR

try removing this from registry
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yoppie79:
Thanks bro, do you have a plan to make final version for sense 2.1?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
not really. i've already retired from topaz cooking.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Paradise-Bodies:
Somebody can upload this ROM please :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
dont know if thats possible
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] macaorentals:
sorry fellas just cant add my location on home tab any help ?

got the weather all good just cant ad my town ..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLocation = 1

have u try that?

and also try disabling proxy if u failed to update my location ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] leonqin:
Hi, Aman! I am now using your TESS 3.1, quite fast and stable, good enough for daily use, and haven't got any bug so far. I wonder when will you release the next build?? like, TESS 3.2 or some?? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
there was no real update after 3.1, mostly because i dont have my notebook with me. although i managed to update the build to 21859, but i dont think thats worth it to release 3.2 as it is a minor update. also the official topaz 6.5 from HTC could also be releasing soon, so i guess we can wait for a week or so before another TESS update
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] leonqin:
Sweet! Thanks! Expect your new release from now on!:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crx16:
Another vote for a working rss reader please
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i'll try to make a cab for you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] theory_87:
Emm... yesterday my screen won't react to any touch. Did a hard reset. But I can't setup the connection now. Tried connection setup in the setting for quite a number of time and soft reset. But it just won't work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
hmm that shouldn't happen, maybe u can try manual setting first.

hard reset and skip auto connection setup, use manual instead
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
hard reset again.

@all : i am thinking of releasing a test ROM with manila 2.5 port (Leo port) before i get my notebook :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] logchem:
I am using 3.1 since the day you released it. This release is working perfect :)

One time I had a bluetooth problem but after a soft reset is was working again.

I have a complete script for Sashimi to install my applications and to restore my settings so if you have a new release I will update immediately. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
pls test this cab file and let me know if this works.

EDIT: uploaded to my mediafire folder, pls check post 2 for link.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sakiin:
Excellent! happy to test it :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] braulioleonardo:
cant wait. A TESS with manila 2.5 will be great.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:) A tess with 2.5 would be fantastic .. I've tried out some of the latest 2.5 builds and they are actually quite stable..HTC messaging being the biggest showstopper, if you have a lot of sms it gets slow ...But faster than the earlier builds. BAttery drain is also higher , but maybe 2.5 tess will show that that is not necessary. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crx16:
Rss hub cab is working perfectly, thankyou very much
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] theory_87:
Back from F1 =) I'll wait for your Newer rom since those data connection is not important to me as long as phone calls, wifi and sms is working. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
going to test a Leo ported TESS :D, if not many bugs i'll upload it ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:eek::cool::D can't wait to flash a leo tess
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
hehe, 1st test ROM didnt even boot :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
:)

Your first 6.5 TESS test ROM worked a bit better...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] freak007:
Bluetooth workaround

Using bt_a2dp.cab from this post ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2083107&postcount=1 ) solve the problem.

I'm pretty sure it's a problem with Avrcp_MPplugin.dll or bta2dp.dll.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
first test ROM with manila 2.5 is up :D, pls post your feedback.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
OK Sir, I will flash it as soon as I can, will report back when I get the chance.

Anything we should know? What should we expect?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
a few bugs :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I'll have the whole office building evacuated just in case... :)

Thanks for the warning though...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
to be honest, LEO packages and manila 2.5 are still not final. but its much better than the ones i tried last time. i might get my notebook next week and hopefully HTC will also release a offical wm 6.5 by then, so that i can further improve tess wm 6.5
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Hi!

Good job Mr Aman ;).

ldK and Dutty had problems with WiFi (on/off cycle every few minutes) in their first releases of Manila 2.5. Have you checked yours test ROM about this issue? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] logchem:
Downloading...:)

When I get home I will immediately update my phone. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
on/off automatically? i dont think i noticed that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dsciel:
i m using UDK's latest rom..i don't have that problem
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
That's why I wrote "in their FIRST releases". Now they fixed it.

Aman: Thanks for answer. I'll try your ROM as soon as I get back to home ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] leonqin:
Wow! TESS 3.5! I will download and flash it and then post my comment ASAP! Thank Aman!:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:) Congrats with your first 2.5 Rom !! Haven't teset for very long but here are some things I noticed:

1. Faster and more responsive than any of the other 2.5 i've tried

2. Browser tab in Manila starts Internet Explorer instead of Opera ( not a bug but a personal preference)

3. In settings/notifications flash light for is greyed out tess 3.1 solution not working

4. When I set language to dutch ( was very surprised you didn't delete the language files) there is no sound on incoming messages , when set to English sound is OKay ( Dutty has same problem in his R3 release)

5. No wifi bug

So no real problems so far , observations 2 and 3 are solved with some reg files posted in UDK's R3 thread. Obeservation 4 is a problem that might be Leo/Sense related because dutty's rom has it also ( UDK deleted the language files so UDK's version doesn't have the problem) But because you normally allway delete your language files I suspect you won't see this as a bug.

All together a very very good firt 2.5 release
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
@Aman,

I have roughly the same observations as above: generally faster than anything else out there, overall feel is good.

I will start restoring messages, contacts and will report back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
For point 2 take a look into udK thread I posted CAB there to make Opera default browser for Manila 2.5.

One question - which dialer is in this ROM? Topaz, Rhodium or Leo (without video calls)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
1 &5. good sign

2. i know that, probably HTC want it that way.

3. didnt check, i'll look into that when i have enough time

4. hehe, i didnt delete because of lack of time, otherwise... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
rhodium dialer
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
ALso no working zoombar in Opera, also reg file posted in UDk thread ( by qbus ?)

Videocall option is there but when dialing and there is a connection is says videocall failed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i know about zoom bar too. video calling is something i cant test because india doesnt have a 3G network as yet, but thats surprising. i'll try to find a solution.

one question, can you see the bookmarks in opera when you click the start icon?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Here's the link to my post with CAB which adds zoom bar, makes opera default browser and replaces new light sensor library (not working) with old one:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4616937&postcount=2243
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
whats the problem with sensor library?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
I don't exactly know what you mean but in opera and in IE there are no bookmarks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
As I understand the one from Leo package does not work properly on Topaz.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
try to add a bookmark first.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qitt:
Does bluetooth headsets control manila player or WMP ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
and why are there so many manila files in the cab?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Becouse all of them have hardcoded path to iexplore.exe :(.

I replaced them using hex editor to OperaLau.exe which is in fact OperaL.exe (but as I was hexing I wanted to keep the same length of filename).

I tried to decompile this files to LUA scripts to change iexplore.exe to OperaL.exe properly but that didn't work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
ok thanks. so anyone who needs opera as default browser can easily intall the cab file.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Exactly. It looks that HTC made IE as it's default browser in this Manila 2.5 builds. I hope that they will change that in final release as Opera is much better then IE.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
OK. Its very fast, faster than anything previously.

Some things (bugs) present from other 2.5 Manila builds as well:

1. Clock on main screens jumps 1:02 minutes almost every time.

2. HTC messaging unusable.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qitt:
It's a feature... Home page animation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Do you know if it can be turned off somehow? Maybe a registry edit?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] keanyiap:
animated wallpaper not included??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Rehman123:
Bluetooth stereo headset control.

Also interested to know if wireless music control defaults to WMP rather then the manilla player ??

Guessing this will unfortunately be the case and if so if there a way to change this ?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
..nope......
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i think it is BS :D i hate it so much. HTC messaging has improved since the last time i tried it, but still not upto the mark.

anyway, im going to update v3.1 to 3.2 with updated OS build, notification manager (although a small update). i prefer to have a stable ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Smackhacker:
Hmm, what does unusable mean? On other 2.5 roms you can send sms. Is that not possible? Or is it just less good than older manila?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
it IS usable, but quite slow as compared to traditional way. that all.

@all: v3.2 is also up.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] arifqur:
Hello Aman,

Good ROM.

Major Bug for me is RescoExplorer opening in tree mode. Same problem in Duttys Leo and uDKs Leo Rom as well. However, no such problems in NRGs Leo Rom.

Also it does not want to sync with Win7 WMDC
