Well I haven't come across any Rom (official or cooked) that disabled the Send key from one of its main functionalities, namely answering phonecalls... Sounds pretty onlogical to me. There are thousands of phones out there that have the same key for that same purpose.

Is there an easy way to disable the remap to the camera app?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Yea I never noticed it but true. All I did was take the Camera.lnk and rename it to Long_Send.lnk. If you delete the Long_Send.lnk in \Windows... it will resume as normal.

I also remapped the End Key... which might have an effect on it. I hate how HTC plays middle man between buttons and the OS. Back in the day each button was mappable. I've heard talk about forcing a remap of the End key will screw up the Send key.

Regardless, delete the Long_Send.lnk from Windows and see if it fixes it. If it does I'll use another method to map the Send key... if it doesn't fix it then it means the End Key is screwing it up. If that happens go into into Settings >> Personal >> Buttons and Assign the Send (Hold) to <None>.

See if any of the above works.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] andreabarbera:
I can't manage to delete the file, even with Total Commander. I did uncheck the read-only property but that didn't do it.... Am I doing something wrong?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
How about rename it to Long_Send.old and softreset phone?

Anyways, is there new rom coming soon? :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] joe mboule:
Please another download link...MediaFire tooooooooo slow
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Right now I'm using the Official WM6.5 build. I flashed it to do some testing on the Zoombar and rotation. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to really screw with anything. My latest test build basically takes the Official WM6.5 build and upgrades it to 23502. Everything works very well except Manila gets all screwed up. That was as far as I got. It might be getting screwed up from one of my custom settings. If it weren't for Manila I'd still be pumping out builds... but Manila is so deep, picky, and uses it own themes. Lots to get working. There is no sense in uploading a Manila build if Manila isn't right.

The next couple of days are gonna be hectic, I'll be busy at work Thursday and Friday, setting up for our Halloween party in the evenings, and going out of town Sunday for a week. While I'm out of town I might be able to work on it but I'll be restricted to my hotels internet (nasty).

The Official WM6.5 build isn't all that bad. Manila 2.1 is nice to play with. Aside from the 60-70% memory usage, it runs pretty well. I might spend the week just hacking the phone and getting more acquainted with the hardware settings so I can implement them in my next build.

So unless I get lucky and everything starts cooperating, it might be a week or so before a next build.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] CR7KB24:
I want to use this rom but there is one tiny issue that bugs the heck out of me, why is there a tiny white vertical line on both sides of the start menu?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Thats my theme. lol. Thats funny.

I got RunCC to read my sdconfig.txt from my microSD card! So I'm getting all my personalized settings and email accounts setup on first boot! Score!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] CR7KB24:
i have tried to change themes but they stay there :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
I am waiting your Manila version.

I think it's very good.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] finesse:
flashing...........:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] finesse:
Hey player thank you for your very nice rom! I am enjoy it!

Just ask for a tweak if you don not mind, why is there an "apps" folder and "programs" folder?

Would it be possible to put the apps and programs just into one place?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] glyndal:
fastest rom I've ever tried. installed JML and is now my favourite interface :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] finesse:
Totally agree, best ROM on here for the Topaz.

:D:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
It feels very fast yes, but weird is how low it score in Pietrucci's test... :confused:

Well, benchmarks not allways tell the truth.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] glyndal:
yeah don't understand that :confused: first wm6.5.1 rom I've tried where the program menu is extremly smooth
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Oh didn't even know he tested it already. I think the scores are lower because I use the 3D accelerated drivers which makes the apps run very smooth, fast, and more Frames per second, but puts out lower scores. Without the 3D drivers, it is similar to using "Frame Skipping" in an emulator. As long as it feels good, I'm happy.

@finesse: Well I wanted to separate the "apps" from the default MS. The Apps folder, in my mind, is just for apps you use most and for stuff like Widgets and things. I like them separated personally because I don't like digging through a bunch of MS default apps just to find the one I want.

@CR7KB24: Depends on the theme. That start menu background image is:

StartMenu_Background_Screen_480x800.png (Portrait)

StartMenu_Background_Screen_800x480.png (Landscape)

You can replace those with whatever image you want. It supports transparencies so you can see the underlying desktop. Just save and copy to \Windows

I've fixed the default ones, and they are attached. I guess I'll just use the new ones without the border in my future builds.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] finesse:
Please consider changing the start menu layout, it would make it so much easier to use!

Thanks:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vagrik:
I don't Like Manila... :) & I think this ROM is BEST ROM... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aethicus:
Downloading 23502 now. I been running EnergyROM 23081 for a few days, I am eager to see if you have the final 6.5.1 buttons and more speed :-)

Questions:

1. Anyone working on an iphone like keyboard? the keyboard on the iphone or the spb keyboard is nice, good button spacing, etc.

2. Search - (*getting ready to duck!*) when will you all support BING instead of just google :-)

3. is there an official 6.5.1 released date from Microsoft?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
i want a Manila version, thx, my friend.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
I like your rom, very much!!

Please keep your style!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Isn't BING included in my roms? Bing = Windows Live...

WM6.5 just came out... WM6.5.1 hasn't even been announced or even spoken of. I don't even know what they intend to do with it.

I've tried LOTS of keyboards and the EzInput 2.1 is AWESOME. Using eT9, it is fast and figures out what you want even if you are a sloppy typer. The only other keyboard that does this is CMKeyboard (I think thats what its called) but it is sluggish and a little buggy.

Other keyboards like resco and spb requires you hit each key perfectly and it doesn't sense what you are tying to type.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xxdopodxx:
I don`t like the bottoms below.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] galvinize:
Just tryning this ROM now, had a bit of difficulty getting it on though, in case anyone else has problems ensure you're using the latest version of HardSPL.

G.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
I'm working on a decent version with Manila. It's hard when I don't like Manila. There hasn't been any newer WM releases either, so we're not missing much.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jlccarv:
this ROM would be great for the new Xperia Panels port for TD2/TP2! downloading now to test...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
I want a Vedio Calling version. Please.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Whats that? Linkage?

I'm getting Manila 2.1 ready. I have some Manila 2.5 packages but meh. Runs very good in 23502.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zard:
Hope you have one with Manila 2.5. Much appreciated. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Right now I'm running Manila 2.1 on top of my 23502 because I am out of town and my Manila 2.5 packages aren't working so well.

I don't think it's release ready. Needs some testing.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
3G Video Calling version

Look this:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jlccarv:
tested: this ROM does not work well with the recent port of the Xperia panels UI...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] galvinize:
liking this rom so far, a few possible bugs:

When you open an email then hit the menu button and try to scroll the menu it actually scrolls the mail behind & not the menu.

I've tried installing xperia panels and the screen goes all weird, hard to explain, same thing happened with opera 9.7 too, any of you tried these?

G
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Yea I found that. It actually was messing up Manila too. Basically it was a one of the accelerated graphics drivers in one of my custom folders. Apparently it causes visual distortions on the Topaz.

@taox: isn't that the dialer from the Official WM6.5 topaz rom? The only bad thing about video call dialers is that the US and the rest of the world use different underlying protocols and thus not compatible. So cooking that in means it won't work for half of the users and the majority of the other half don't use video call.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aethicus:
thanks for the reply. I will check out the keyboard.

what I like about manila is the use of integrated "FAT" time and weather as well as the big buttons. I know the MS UI well and it is too "bleh" for me.

overall your build is pretty good I am still loading (and paying for all three!!) yours, EnergyROM and shadowlines. all are nice builds.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
The build I am working on right now is actually really nice. I like it alot. There are a few graphical things I want to tweak before I release it.

I finally got it to load my custom "sdconfig.txt" file off of my SD card during first boot!!! Manila 2.1 works like a champ. I'm seeing about 34% memory usage and its really fast. I'll probably release it over the weekend once I get home and settled in (I'm still out of town).

I also fixed the problem with the Xperia panels and other apps having graphical glitches. Stay tuned.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
I am waiting your new rom.

I like your style.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] galvinize:
Will there be a manilla free version too?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] galvinize:
one more thing, any chance of cooking in a working audio booster?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ramdroid77:
Very very good ROM as I can tell after couple hours of having it run.

Only problem so far: Need for Speed is not running. I mean it's running but the graphics are heavily messed up. Maybe some OpenGL issue?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
Maybe the same issues he (player911) mention in post #120?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Yea probably. Thats already fixed.

Right now I'm getting a new build setup, either 23088 or 23504 (probably 23504 COM5). I've tweaked RunCC to load your sdconfig.txt files from the root of storage card incase you guys want to automatically install your own cabs and run XML files for personal registry tweaks, email account setup, etc.

sdconfig.txt example:

CAB: \Storage Card\Initial\RescoExplorer.cab
XML: \Storage Card\Initial\EmailSetup.xml

I have Manila 2.1 working very well. Everything cleaned up. Working very nice. AGPS is turned on by default and grabs fast locks without the need of using QuickGPS first. Pretty speedy. Updated several packages from the latest Leo build. bla bla bla.

I'd expect a release tonight if all goes well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
Hope so. How about buttons in this new rom? Remapped or something? :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Oh you mean about pressing the call button while on the Slide-2-Answer screen/Camera issue. Got that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] truereality:
My Pure's shipping in a few days, and I've been browsing around looking for a WM 6.5.1 ROM with improved native UI elements (i.e. build 23502+). It seems like a majority of people here are using Dutty's rom, but none of his releases are anywhere close to the newest 6.5.1 builds. I'm willing to give up Manila if it means not having to use a stylus when digging deep into the device menus.

That being said, there is a certain cohesiveness to the Manila interface that attracts me. I was looking for a WM 6.5.1 + Manila 2.5 ROM like Shadowline's, but after hearing various complaints about the performance of Manila 2.5, I think I can do without the contacts/calendar/settings UI improvements.

Long story short, after a few days lurking this board, I have to say that your ROM looks the most promising out of all the offerings here.

A few question I haven't been able to find an answer to:

- What has been your experience with custom ROMs' battery life when compared to stock ROMs?

- How about stability? I'm planning to pick a ROM and use it for a while, so battery life, stability, and usability are all important issues for me.

Thanks, and I'm really looking forward to this release :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
So everything didn't go well i see. Is there any new info about this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ramdroid77:
Hi,

can you please tell me what files I need to replace on my device in order to fix the OpenGL issue? I don't want to flash a new ROM too often.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ramdroid77:
I have this ROM running for a couple days. I have seen that overnight the battery lost about 10%. Just like two hours ago I deactivated AGPS (which is turned on by default) and battery level is still same like two hours ago (with a running APGS, it had already decreased 1-2% after two hours). I'm curious about my battery level tomorrow, but I assume it's now equal to factory ROMs.

Stability: Very good! I had another 6.5.1 ROM running before and had plenty of display errors and misbehaviours in the GUI of various applications. This is not the case anymore with this ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
New Rom posted. Runs the latest 23506 build uploaded last night. Features Manila 2.1 from the official release. 34% Memory consumption. Fast. I'm pleased with it. Also, anyone familar with the old UC sdconfig.txt files... I tweaked RunCC to work similarly.

Fixed several "bugs" with previous releases. I remapped the keys so they work as they should now. Also removed the accelerated files causing some apps to distort.

I'm starting to get my new wvga packages in order. I'll start theming the individual components to better match the build.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aethicus:
New ROM

I am downloading the new ROM and will test it on my Topaz. is Manila 2.1 the latest? I thought there was a 2.5 or 2.6

Touch Diamond 2 = Topaz, for instance, in the same way as TouchFLO 2.1 = Manila and TouchFLO 2.5 = Sense

so if you included Manila 2.1 then are you missing the Sense (my location) stuff?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bukito1:
When this build with manila 2.5
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aethicus:
BUG Error in CAB

when I download your 23504 file and unzip it I get

Hey

Can you share the kitchen...?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cyron_at:
Fixed "Send to Camera while in Slide to Answer screen"

Can somebody explain me what this does: Fixed "Send to Camera while in Slide to Answer screen"???

Edit: A version with manila 2.6 would be great!

br, Chris
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
My kitchen is already shared. It is in the main Topaz ROM forum.

[UPDATE]

Anyone try the new version? Problems?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aethicus:
BUG

the quickGPS application is not signed and won't run.

the assigment of the buttons - how do I change that. Take a look at EnergyROM he has a great lock screen with RESTART, Shutdown, Sleep.

having the comm manager on a button well sucks because now and then you put the silly phone in airplane mode :l-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] rswilson411:
Overall it's solid! The only problem I've come across is screen rotation is not working in some of the apps (facebook, opera are the two I've noticed). The ability to remap the buttons would be nice, but not necessary.

Excellent ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jmore:
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'd rather have a non-Manila (i.e., Titanium-only) version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aethicus:
having had the old vanilla screen for so long I found it to be less then functional. now I travel a lot and I need the constant drone of schedules, weather, dates, etc. the my location stuff is pretty cool and the UI is functional.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] zard:
Tried the full version, nothing to complain except that I much prefer the Manila 2.5 instead of Manila 2.1.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ramdroid77:
same here!

I enjoyed Manila when I used it for the very first time. It's a very good interface nevertheless but I soon got rid of it because you can't freely customize it like you can with Titanium.

apropos draining battery of the Titanium 23502 build: overnight it still drains about 5% with disabled AGPS. So there's still some whatever service running??? Maybe this is important to know for some people. I can charge my phone 8 hours a day during work so I don't really care....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kreuzfelder:
Good work...but i agree...a Version with the latest Manila/Sense 2.5/2.6 woult be nicer :) more nicer :) :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xinot:
Agree that buttons should have ability to remap (or default). :rolleyes:

1. Calculator not working.

2. Theres no slider in lock screen.

3. Some graphic weirdness. Sometimes load menus etc empty, like if you go to start menu, it will start it but previous window is still on the screen.

Nice and fast ROM but looks weird to me. Like it have dual UI. And jumping from windows menu to manila menu to windows menu.

I think you should stay in titanium only or try with 2.5. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xxdopodxx:
Is here a mirro link to download?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] chris5s:
New build seems pretty fast.

There's a bug in the e-mail program where the buttons along the bottom are incorrectly displayed : the 2nd button from left should be the trash can in screenshot 1 and in screenshot 2 that 2nd button should be either reply or send depending on what you're doing - it's neither, just that blank circle!

Also confirm QuickGPS and calculator not working. Lock app has no graphic for the slide.

Nice build though, I like the point one layout with the new buttons on bottom taskbar, big menus, etc. Now, just gotta rearrange that start menu .... :D

Thanks, Chris

Edit : the button bug is also present when sending sms.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] illi:
Hi player

Sorry but there's a typo error in "Champions".:p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] chris5s:
Dunno, 'Champious' has a kind of ring to it ... :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] illi:
Yeah... :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
Actually the missing buttons are part of your custom theme you are using. This is because the Email and SMS buttons are relatively new... and not included in older themes. I see the trash and menu icons properly using the default theme.

Confirmed GPS and Calc. Must be missing a shared dll or something. I also need to figure out where HTC is deleting the default "Classic Blue" theme file.

BTW, its supposed to be Champious... Optimal Champious. It's been carried over from my Raphael roms.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] smielek00:
Does this rom have an "automatic time change while changing time zones in the US" problem like Dutty's roms?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] illi:
Ahhhh... OK... sound unique though.:D

Keep up the good work.

TQ
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bigfan2232:
Great Rom! Apps I add to the Rotate config do not seem to work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
I'm still monkeying around with screen proper screen rotations tools. TD2 Config seems to work great but I was looking for something similar but simpler.

I haven't had any PM's and their hasn't been an overload of thread posts so I'm assuming everything is working ok.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] chris5s:
Nice low memory usage, manila responsive and accurate, 6.5.1 layout, and pocket uno included as standard - what more can I ask for ? ;)

Liking this rom more and more - especially since I customised the start menu and got things organised :eek:

Cheers mate, good work :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] chris5s:
As well as previous mentioned, radio doesn't work ...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jbgardner:
A really nice ROM, performs really well - It works perfectly with Windows Live which is the thing that often finds bugs in the framework.. but I can't find the DeviceID setting? (OK found it Start|Settings|System Tab|About icon|Device ID tab - sorry) Also is there a cab for QuickGPS.. GPS is really slow without it (!) and I'd like to know if Im going to have to reflash the whole ROM.. thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
I'm having issues with QuickGPS, FM Radio, and Calculator (HTC apps). None of them seem to want to run. Something is amiss and causing it to screw up. I installed sdcerts but still nothing. I think I'm missing a dll or something.

I'm also experimenting with a new Leo Dialer. Supposedly Topaz dialers have a delay when answering calls. I am also testing some updated packages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dopeamin:
How to fix Calculator issue ....download cab. file from web install and play
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aussie1234:
thanks

Hi

Thank you for your rom.

I have same issues with Quick GPS and calculator but your rom fast, stable and well featured.

Thanks for your great work.

All the best

Aussie:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] player911:
anyone find a solution, let me know. The app problem is rackin' my brain.

It started when I swapped to the Official WM6.5 OEM. I've combed through it and can't find it. My next step is simply starting with a new kitchen from scratch.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] smielek00:
Hi Player911

Great ROM, fast, responsive and nice looking as well.

In addition to AGPS few other things don't work for me:

- no time sync when changing US time zones - could you find that feature in original Pure ROM and include in next release?

- voice command doesn't work via BT headset - asking for voice prompt by clicking a button on my headset doesn't work. Works ok via a programmed button on my Pure

- using Total Commander - few function icons at the bottom of my screen are missing or should I say not visible (control icon to select multiple items), icons that are there are spaced too far apart (all show ok when program is manually tilted)

- autotilt doesn't work on some apps that show on the list. Added Total Commander but can't get it to tilt (with a tilt sensor)

Oh, would someone know how to get rid of the zoom icon/slider on internet explorer? Phone zoombar works great, no need for that one?

Thanks
