Benchmark

Did my usual benchmark on TESS 3.9. Very fassst, fastest after ljankok's larva R0.9. But that one is not very stabile yet (he's working on it).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:confused: I just flashed 3.9 , and I am wondering what I did wrong .. I usually can't find flaws in Aman's roms , but flashed 3.9 had no zoombar in Opera, tried to send a text message but when typing first letter or more didn't bring up contacts .. Maybe they are minor problems but i am just not used finding them in a tess rom .. I did a hard reset to verify if that wasn't the problem but alas same problems again .. Haven't read any of this problems in this thread so I am really wondering if I am the only one expericieng these things?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Actually, I had neither one of the problems you mentioned... Strange...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Hi guys!

I think I will give this ROM a try, hopefully you can help me out with a few questions first:

1. Are there any known problems with the alarm clock not working from time to time?

2a. Anyone using Exchange e-mail? Is that working with the automatic sync schedules in Active Sync?

2b. Also, if you have set up your device to automatically sync every 30 or 60 minutes and then activate Push E-mail, is your sync schedule still intact or back to where it says "Manually" (in Active Sync)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] purnah:
If you search the thread, you'll see you're not the only one spotting these problems with 3.9, so you are not alone and they are known issues with that ROM.

Another is that Windows Live app won't work fully - the one cooked in nor the rather smart updates available from Microsoft.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kkwongkk:
Aman, just a personal preference suggestion, y dun u arrange the icons on the start menu into some folder ? its look so messy. Bcoz sometimes i did accidently press into the program while im scrolling. Anyway, ur rom is nice. Im oso the kind of ppl who always "back to tess", lol...

One more question is when im try to reply a msg, there's no back button at the bottom, instead of that oni show the send button. As i know manila 2.5 should show the send button above the attach button. Correct me if im wrong. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:eek: Okay, didn't search well enough then .. Ignore my remarks then .. will search better in the future ..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
If they are known bugs it would be nice to have them under the section "Known bugs" in the second message in this thread. Was this a problem in the 3.8 version aswell?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] andrew_171:
Hi. I have some problem with alarm clock in 3.8. I've set up different ringtones for alarm clock and for reminder. Then alarm clock begins to play, the first ringtone it plays is reminders ringtone, after that it plays alarms ringtone. I think normally alarm clock should play only alarm clock ringtone.

HI,

Im newbie here,is there anyway to make 3-row start menu to 4-row?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] empeka:
yes. but no compact qwerty then.

few more questions:

1: i can't find default wm keypad. i need sometimes to use keys not included in htc's keypad, so is there a way to reenable microsoft's one?

2: found something annoying, though i'm not sure if it's related to TESS or WM6.5 itself - sometime in treeviews such as resco file explorer i can't use touch scrolling and after selecting an item, i have to tap second time anywhere on the list to activate it. any sugestions how to solve that issue?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] poligono:
Hey Aman.

Can you tell me witch dialer is installed in this rom? topaz or Rhodium?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bukito1:
Aman, is this rom your???? its could be in spanish?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
1. ezinput 2.1 disables the keyboard by default. however u can enable it, change the following reg key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
@="1"

2. related to wm 6.5

rhodium one.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
no, this is dutty's ROM :p

sorry, don't have enough time for other languages as yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bukito1:

unfortunately, after setting default value to 1 and soft reset i still don't have it in 'other input methods' menu. actually, i don't have this menu at all:)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] leonqin:
Hi, Aman! I am now expecting on the TESS 3.1 (or whatever else) :D, is it possible for you to replace the current battery indicator to another accurate one?? TESS 2.F is really a classic perfect one, hopefully 3.X could also be!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] eil:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mattwalker:
I am a massive fan of this ROM... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
Okay, well no biggies, restored the zoombar with a cab i had, but the integration from the text tab ( no contacts shown when pressing a letter)is a problem I can't solve .. maybe there are more things that need fixing but since Aman's focus is on manila 2.1 , I won''t expect any fixes .. Keeping my hopes up for the future as this rom proves that a fst LEO rom can be done :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
OK, I tried and zoombar doesn't work for me either, but texting does...

Could you share with us the zoombar CAB that you have? Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
Sure, I have attached the cab . It isn't mine though but forgot where i got it from so I can't credit the maker ...

Texting goes, but normally when you are in the recipient field you just have to enter for example the lette T and you get a list of all contacts starting with T , that feature is missing in 3.9.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thanks for the cab, but what you described with texting does work for me! As to why it works with my Topaz and not with yours, I can not comment...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] elmalote:
Question for !Aman!

Since you are the most capable of answering this question,

does running on high RAM like the official WM6.5 (not like yours :D ) make the phone run slower?

Or does it just limit how many applications you can have open at the same time?

Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pietrucci:
Solved my problem zoombar being disabled. Thnx!

Has anyone tried with TESS 3.9, if Cyberon Voice Speed Dialling via BT headset's button is working?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MrGubby:
I haven't tried TESS 3.9 but it's working with TESS 3.8 on my Topaz :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adigraham:
Why is this better in your opinion to MS VC?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Thanks for the quick answer. I think I have to try it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
For non native speaking English (I am Greek for example) or when using Greek language voice commands, Cyberon VSD is the only solution.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] purnah:
As I understand it, 3.9 is a test ROM with Sense 2.5 derived from the HTC Leo. Most TESS ROMs are based on stock Topaz ROMs and are enhanced for speed and stability. There is no stock Topaz ROM with Sense 2.5, and so some parts of it may not work so well.

Our thread owners maintain the 'Known bugs' posts, and they may have a policy not to list those found in test ROMs. I'm not clear how problems in test ROMs like 3.9 are compiled and used further, but agree it would be useful to have a list somewhere which you can view and suggest additions.

Regards 3.8 - no, none of these problems have been noted in 3.8. I haven't noticed any problems with that ROM which looks very well put together.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MrGubby:
I have many contacts with similar names or many phones, I just use Cyberon to give them tags ie Steve, Steven, Stevee. Cyberon just seems easier to use :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thierry.titi:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crow_mw:
I know that searching those forums for any information is horrible, due to amount of content, but seriously this question pops up like on every second page. No, it is not.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
:D those are NOT BUGs. in fact i dont even have the 2nd problem u mentioned. first one is just not enabled as is the case with LEO. it is just a simple reg trick. please dont call this as a bug.

well yeah, i'll arrange them like in LEO, but i'm just lazy for the time being coz dont have enough time these days.

as i said above, they are not bugs.

it just limits how many apps u can open at the same time.

correct, manila 2.5 wont ever be perfect for topaz. but those are not bugs.

nope, i've explained my reasons before.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
hmm yeah, that how we do it :)

Exchange mail problem in TESS 3.9

In 3.9 i use Active sync to download my mail from works to phone. On the phone every mail is put into the right map. Then when i want to reply (all) a mail i is not working. It doesnt matter if you open the mail or do it direct from inbox, after reply(all) it go back to the inbox and nothing else.

Who is using mail also and does have or doesn't have this problem.

In 3.8 i have no problems.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Alright, thanks for clearing that out.

I'm tempted to install this, but if 3.9 is sort of a test ROM, does anyone know when the "real thing" will be released? If I flash it's just a lot of work to restore and reconfigure if 4.0 or 3.9.5 (or what it might be called) is released.

Looks like Amans ROMs has quite a reputation around here :)

The bug occurs when trying to "Reply", "Reply all" and "Forward". Just flashed this ROM yesterday but have to leave it already because of this, please try to fix this bug and I'll give the ROM another try. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] purnah:
My take on 3.9 is that it is for test and experimentation or playing. It is not the best ROM for your main phone used for work - for that I'd recommend you flash back to 3.8 with which you won't have any of these problems.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Yeah, might be a good idea. What will I miss if I downgrade to 3.8? Is it still Sense 2.5?

Known bugs in 3.8?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pietrucci:
!aman! this 3.9 is really a great ROM.

I've had them all, you know that, but this one is just fast, responsive and stabile. Don't think there will be much better within the current builds...

Only bug for me is the not sending of e-mail, but I can live with that (I'm using @live mail).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] purnah:
There are quite a few differences between 3.8 and 3.9 - too many to mention. Probably most obvious differences are the Twitter app and Footprints in Sense 2.5 which are not in 2.1. Here's a discussion about them both.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] chris5s:
Seems to me that the problems relating to manila 2.5 are across the board with most of the custom ROMs found around here on xda forums. It also seems that they are to be expected for a couple of reasons - a) it's still in the 'test' stage but mostly b) it's an interface that's shoehorned into the topaz having been designed for another phone/hardware setup.

It's unfair to expect the chef to produce a perfect working ROM based on manila 2.5 for these reasons. Just my two cents :D

Having said that, !aman! is continuing to do a lovely job, and the 2.1 ROMs available here i.e. 3.8 are pretty much the best you'll find.

Peace :)
