Something rather strange just happened. I installed a newer version of iGo8 and after playing around with the settings for backlight within iGo8, and then exiting iGo8, the backlight of the phone was very much dimmed. So I proceeded to go to the backlight settings of the phone. There I see that the backlight adjustment settings (battery and external) are now both on "bright"...and with the possibility of changing them!

Furthermore, only when I choose "automatically adjust backlight" then I get a nice and bright screen, otherwise it is dimmed as before.

I have tried changing back each setting for backlight within iGo8, but no solution.

I cannot uninstall iGo8 as it didn't need installing (just run the .exe file).

Anyone know a way for changing the backlight settings of the phone to their standard settings...and with all possible settings to choose from? Without having to do a hard reset of course. Also after a hard reset, I would like to keep using the newer iGo8 version...and chances are that I will encounter the same issue :) So hard reset is really not an option.

Thanks for trying to understand the above, I appreciate all the help I can get.

Excellent Rom Mate! Been switching roms a while and I just tried this one but I must say... It's great!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Hmmm. What newest version are you using? I use the 2009/08/13 version, and have iGO8 set to "Backlight always on", and it just works perfectly.

Try setting to that, soft reset and then change your WM6.5 backlight options back to normal.

It should work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Unfortunately that doesn't work neither. I use the exact same version of iGo8. There is just no way to get the backlight settings back to normal again...very frustrating!

Tess 4.1 Sense 2.5 Observations

Hello,

I have been using Tess 4.1 since its release and I figured I post some observations:

There are some issues with the wallpapers. Home tab wallpaper cannot be assigned unless you edit the registry.

You cannot change back from an animated wallpaper unless you edit the registry. You also need to edit the registry to get the weather animation back.

Facebook integration works great for me. Third party application like parlingo and the AP applet cannot connect to facebook (Looking to see whether its Facebook, the apps themselves or the rom which is causing this).

Somebody mentioned problems with the alarm but I couldn't find anything wrong with that. Alarms work fine on my end.

All in All everything seems to work and it is definitely a very stable rom.

Congratulations!

Everlasting bug in TESS

Since like TESS 1 there has been a very annoying bug - whenever i try to set a default wallpaper via explorer context menu, the phone freezes.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] criszz:
same version here works like a charm. tess 4.0
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Try deleting every file in the iGO8/SAVE directory. It will reset everything back point 0.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Thanks guys...I'll keep that in mind. I have however already done a hard reset and afterwards immediately started iGo8 up...no issues anymore whatsoever...so far. I guess somehow somewhere things got screwed up...but everything looks and works fine now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] uygar2580:
When time gettin 00:00, devices backlight gets on automaticly. It's may about G-alarm ?

Its same 3.8, 4.0 .
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bcrcristi:
excelent rom congratualtion! best and light rom with manila 2.1!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xkovi:
I've noticed this not only with TESS, but also with all other roms I've already tested including the stock one...but I'm using g-alarm as well so I can't confirm whether it is caused by this or not :D

Lower Battery drain?

hi Aman, been using your TESS 4.0 Sense 2.1. Superb! Smooth and stable!

One small small irk, if you may, I've been wondering why the battery drain is slightly higher as compared to Dutty's R3 (also very stable Sense 2.1)? Is it because Build 21869? Any suggestions, newer build (21876) maybe? (all of my apps & usage profile are the same while I'm comparing these two).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] GerooTech:
Thanks Aman, it is really stable, and quick rom, i am using 4.1 now if any problems i will report.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zukers:
Aman do you plan cooking any ROMs for new LEO phone?? ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Has anyone tried Opera 10 yet?

If it's fast and stable I'd love to see it in the next ROM:

problem with FingerKeyboard

I use TESS 4.1 with FingerKeyboard 2.1. I have xt9 disable patch installed. Contact name suggestion doesn t work for me. It show only email address, no "mobile. Maybe there is problem in FingerKeyboard... and ROM is ok, defaullt keyboard is ok. Have anybody same problem?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Two thumbs up!

hi Aman,

I really enjoy your super stable ROM! (TESS 4.0 Sense 2.1)

Just wondering if you will cook another (newer) build ROM based on Sense 2.1. I can say I prefer yours after comparing it versus Nataly v3 (supposedly fastest, but not the most stable) and uDK's Leo.

Are you going to go with build 230XX or 21876 next?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] showza:
Thanks for that, have my location now.

By HTC messaging, I meant the messaging from the HTC contact card.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] leonqin:
yes, I've also got the My Location issue, it seems locked from beginning. then i have to set another location(actually, the same city) instead of it to show weather on home tab. I never tried the registry editing, will try in next flashing. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
its a bit buggy, thats why not enabled by default in the ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kkwongkk:
hi im facing a problem is wifi connected but i cant connect to the internet or either its show "network key not correct". its strange !! can someone help me to resolved this problem? thanks very much
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] leonqin:
are you sure you have the right password to access your local wifi network??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
I jumped to another rom because of this key problem and weird start menu scrolling. Is this scrolling supposed quickly stop when you lift your finger from screen? If so, why dont it have "endless" scrolling? Like when you whipe the screen with your finger it will continue to scroll for some time at least.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kkwongkk:
but i like tis rom since its stable n fast...just hope can get it solved wif the new release...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i dont have any problem using WiFi

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bigheadlyf:
Great ROM . Fast and fast and fast....

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] livadaki:
Hello! :)

Once again I want to thank you Aman for your efforts. Currently I am not using this version as I am still enjoying my Greek TESS 2.2.1. But in the coming days I'll move to TESS WM 6.5. :)

I have one question though. Why did you enable notes sync? Isn't there a sacrifice regarding the speed with TESS 3.1?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
!Aman!, thank you for releasing an updated version just before your absence..This will without a doubt be another great piece of work.

See you in a week , and good luck with the job !
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
this is just one of those version in which it is enabled, next 2-3 versions it may again be disabled.

ppl if there are some bugs/issues, i wont be able to solve asap as i handover my laptop in half an hour's time. i couldnt test it properly before release because of lack of time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] orik13:
Aman!

Come on!

I just re-flashed TESS v3.0 after failure with the "shipped" 6.5 (you know). And now I have to do it again!!!!

:p Thanks for the ROM.

and thanks for the Notesync!

Is it possible to release 2 versions every time: one with Notesync and another without it?

Thanks again for your effort.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
cant promise anything before i get to know about my new work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crispy514:
Hey thanks for another ROM :)

I agree, I can't do without the notes sync, and would hate to not be able to use an upgrade because the functionality was disabled again! 2 Versions would be great :0
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] orik13:
Good luck there!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
hahah thats was my day dreaming, hoping someone is giving it to !aman!

but.... hell no, he wont forget topaz just like that :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Yes - this is becouse of G-Alarm. What's more this is not a bug and it's purpose is to rebuild events database (so it can add more alarms to queue if needed).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
:D, i only cook for the device which i own. right now i only have a topaz and i'm not so rich to buy expensive devices after using them for 5-6 months :D

i wanted to use new build too, 21874, but its not available anywhere so far. 21876 is AKU 5.0.72 while 21869 is AKU 5.0.82, so i'm not sure how 21876 is newer than 21869. thats why i'm reluctant to use this build.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Aman still no source of new Leo 1.48 staff (manila etc.)?

Also please add Opera 10 in your next Leo 2.5 release?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
yeah i have it. i wanted to release it with new build 21874 AKU 5.0.83, but i cant find it anywhere. so i might just release the update with 21869 again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Great thanks, do you have 21876 as some users reported better battery life than 21869.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i have 21876 but as i said above, i'm not sure how it is newer than 21869 with old AKU number.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
OK then maybe it's better to wait for the newest build 21874?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i'm thinking about using 21876 on my topaz for a day, if it seems alright i'll release the ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Great! Please, number one is stability & usability, then the speed. btw, I'm using your TESS 4.0 with 21869, and the battery drain is slightly higher than PDA Corner's Xtreme2 v7 just so you know, same 4.47.25.57 radio, same usage characteristics.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Great, have you tried Opera 10 is it better than 9.7?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:) Maybe you could integrate the attached cab into your future LEO rom ? It gives a send button and a back soft button in the texting app. The default in the current texting Leo app is no back button ( have to use the hardeware backbutton) and the send option as softbutton.

Entirely up to you offcourse , but I thought it might be handy :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
no, i dont use beta apps.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Does anyone know if there is a thread on xda or elsewhere regarding the "Vovichek&Jamrecords_16Shortcuts.cab" ?

edit : the 5x5 shortcut cab works perfectly...finally a version that doesn't result in unclear characters in the home screen :) :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Which one are you using, the 5x5?

If you add a contact to a shortcut on the homescreen do you see the contact picture? For me I only get a black picture.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Yep pic is shown.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
4x4 or 5x5?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zimmicz:
AFAIK version 9.7 is still beta too. As well as 9.1, 9.5 and 9.6.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zimmicz:
Strange thing occurs from time to time. When a text message is sent to my phone, sometimes the time of its delivery says the actual time + 1 hour. Don't know why and it happens only with some of my contacts and some of their messages.

I am using My Location, but i don't think that could be a problem. No additional apps for texting whatsoever.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
That can happen if the one who sent you sms has his/her time zone set incorrect .. For instance GMT +2 while you actually have GMT+1 ... That person can have the the correct time on the phone but it's just the time zone that isn't correct
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zimmicz:
Hope that's it. But thinking back about it i realize when waking up this morning the time was set one hour back on my topaz. So i just turned it forward. Maybe that's the reason 'cause i never experienced something like this with older TESS versions.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
On 4.0 I noticed one thing: choosing auto weather update does not update weather when device is sleeping. What's more on waking up I have to go to weather tab to initialize updating.

On 3.8 everything was OK and weather was updating even when device was sleeping.

Do you have the same?

Hey guys, can anyone reccomend a new task bar icons cab with some color. I hate the plain white. Other than that this ROM seems great so far.

Does anybody noticed footprint not working ?? Or the step i took is wrong ?? i press add-footprint n take the photo after gps. after tat go to the album and save the photo as footprint. anyhow its doesnt show on the footprint tab...even though i dont use it but just hv to mention here..

edit : im using tess 4.1

4.0 is really excellent. 4.1 was pretty buggy for me. Think I am going to stick with 4.0 until I get another phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
4.1 buggy?! No way it's buggy..I've been using it since it came out and it's by far the best Sense 2.5 rom I have used so far, and I have tried them all (literally).

Two thumbs up!

daffie, what do you say between TESS 4.1 and ljankok's Larva (now Cheetah) v01.a ?

I really wish !aman!/blasev will soon cook the next TESS with Sense 2.1, his TESS 4.0 is rock solid! I wonder if he can do better than that. :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
+1 4.1 is not buggy!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
+1 4.1 is very fast yet rock solid.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Haven't tried Cheetah yet, as I love Aman's TESS 4.1. I can't bring myself to change, although I have been flashing my phone steadily for the past half year...each time a new custom rom was released, I found myself driven to test it :)

But really TESS 4.1 is just perfect...really very fast, rock solid and with normal battery usage.

Thanks again Aman! :D

No offense man, but if you read the post correctly I stated that I have tried 2 different taskbar cabs that did not work with this ROM. So I am looking for the advice of members that are using this ROM if they have found any that are working. The cabs I have worked perfectly fine with other ROMs, which is why I have posted in this thread asking the people who are using this ROM for help. But thanks to Gianton for helping.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Tsubaki-San:
First of this is my first costom ROM and I'm loving it, so many many thanks to !aman! for making this and everyone else who is helping in the development of this ROM!!!

I have one question/comment though, in the people tab, sometimes the little square in the right bottom of a favorite turns white. Also when this happens the non-used favorite spaces turn white too. I'm using the "view contact card"-option. Its not really bothering me, but I was just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there is a fix for this?

Thanks in advance!

4x4 Bookmarks icons in Sense 2.5

Great ROM, very stable and fast. One can customize the start menu with 4 grid icons, the home screen with 4x4 or 5x5.

How about the bookmarks on internet tab? 2 rows of large icons....Anybody figured out how to apply similar mods to this?

In your next release of Sense 2.5, could you please make the "Add a favorite" page in Opera work in landscape? When browsing on lanscape and want to load or add a favorite page it takes me to the portrait page.

Thanks in advance m8.

I love your 4.1, very fast and stable as a rock! :)

I have noticed that (usb) charging on TESS 4.1 is much quicker than f.i. with the standard rom. That normally took 3 hours, and by usb much longer. With TESS 4.1 usb charging especially is much faster...haven't done a complete empty to full charge yet, but I'm guessing it will take approx 2 and a bit hours. From 30 to 75% took just 3/4 hours!
