[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
I use SPB Backup. And what I've also noticed is that when I use it to restore data SOD occures but only once. After phone reset everything starts to work smoothly.

It looks that 2.54 drivers are not too stable :(.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
So after you do task 29, how do you flash a ROM back to your device? Put the .nbh file to sd-card? Cause I don't really use the sd-card method of flashing...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Either SD-Card or normal USB method. I just enter Bootloader, connect USB cable to PC (serial text changes to USB on Topaz screen) then I start CustomRUU.exe and it detects Topaz (even when in Bootloader mode) and starts flashing.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xkovi:
Well, I don't think the restore of my sms could be the reason of SOD since this is only copying of messages back to internal memory...nothing else...

Since using only task 29 hasn't been enough to get rid of SOD, I've just made MTTY (task 29 is included in this procedure) and HR and gonna try to use PIM to restore my messages again....in case the SOD will appear again I'll try to use my Topaz without restoration via PIM...

In both cases I'll give u some feedback, don't worry ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
MTTY

Quick report on MTTY, it seems to have worked.

As a "side effect", the ROM feels even faster! Will report back tomorrow after an overnight full charge to see if my Topaz acts up again... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
Thanks for your insight, will give it a shot...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xboxhaxorz:
i installed the swype keyboard and changed the default input but it wont stay. using prime II after changing it the same way, it did stay as default.

any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Sadly I have to report that after MTTY task 29, flashing and a hard reset, the SOD happened during the night...

It looks to me like a deadly combo of 2.53 and 21898...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
in that case we need both HTC & Microsoft to update :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Lasker1:
Well i cant get rid of the SOD tried task29 and a few re flashes and hardresets.

Only thing i restored is sms with pimbackup, tried to restore sms with spbbackup and with sprite backup but no difference.

There seem to be a few roms that give me the SOD but most a tried work good.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
I didn't restore anything than my contacts and Sods are becoming a major problem... my alarm didn't started this morning and now i'm late to work (writing from a bus) :)

I'm wondering why it is not happening to all of us...

I ll have to flash another ROM for now :( pitty, because it was soo fast....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
Or maybe we should downgrade to 218xx in order to achieve speed and stability until a newer stable combination of 2.53+21xxx is found

Apart from the SOD I have one more issue: when I receive an Delivery Notification SMS and go to the SMS Manila tab, the mobile number that received my SMS is blank and looks like that:

"The message you sent to .................. has been delivered."

while it used to be like:

"The message you sent to

xxxxxxxxx

has been delivered."

where xxxxxxx is the mobile number that received my SMS.

Is there NE1 else having this issue?

Could it be the color of the mobile number that changed from blue to black?

Apart from these 2 probs I have to say that this was the first Manila 2.5 ROM that I enjoyed so much living with. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tropheuz:
hi,

just to inform that I flashed this rom over 24h and never experienced any SOD or had problems reported by harisg.

this rom seems, at least until now and for me very stable and fast.

regards

RP
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thos of you who have not experienced the SOD, what programs did you install as extras?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
I experienced SOD just after flashing (i did a hard-reset after flashing, of course), without installing any program whatsoever...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tropheuz:
almost nothing :)

just PTG dictionary, smart lock, landscape support.

My radio is 4.49.25.17

Think I found a small bug:

when adding a contact, and selecting more information (for example to add email) and then pressing "done" the contact doesn't get saved.

solution: save contact without adding extra information and then edit.

regards

RP
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
On a sidenote, how do you get landscape support working? I tried a couple of things in the threads, but none of them worked...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Screen lock programs?

Thos of you who do NOT experience the SOD, do you use screen locking programs which take over from standard WM6.5 locking?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xkovi:
Same issue....MTTY + HR done, today I encountered SOD immediately when I finished call...my colleague could call me, could hear "calling tone" but Topaz did nothing....very strange...I don't believe this issue is caused because of using PIM to restore sms....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ehsan_olips:
it's the best rom i used ever ..... thanx ....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
No of course not...It is obviously deeper and has nothing to do with the chefs.

I was so pleased with this ROM that I think that tweaking the previous version (21897) could be the way to a great ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
I flashed nathoa's rom (2 April verison) that uses the same windows version 21898 and doesn't have those SODs of prime III.

But is also slower than prime III, wich makes me sad not being able to have a proper ROM like prime III without SODs :(

BTW, I use SmartLock 1.9b. I had SODs before and after installation (i felt that there were a bit less SODs AFTER installing SmartLock)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
Didn't experience my first SOD until the next day, and then afterwards, it became more and more frequent... I happen to use S2U2 instead of the MS lock.

And to mirror what shumilica said, I have used other 21898 ROMs with no issues with SOD, the previous builds had been plagued with them (if I remember 21897 was one of the culprits)... So sad, as this is one speedy ROM...:(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
So we come to the conclusion that something went wrong during cooking?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Maybe Aman got his 21898 build from a different source than the other chefs... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
No, not necessarily, because nathoa used packages from Leo Rom and Aman just from Topaz (mostly). Maybe the packages from topaz are conflicting with the windows build in some strange way...

Anyway, Aman if you think there is anything you or we can do please share, cause we really want to use your speedy steady ROM!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
please wait for him, I think today !aman! is busy, we will resolve this matter ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
yup, that could be it.

i was suspecting the build to be a problem because apart from removing HTC Messaging and updating the build, i didnt change anything else.

im gonna try an older build like 21896, then we'll see.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thank you Aman, the people really miss your ROM...

A while ago Ljankok also had to pull one of his builds because of faulty WM version... :(

Prime III was the first 2.5 ROM that was actually more usable than a 2.1 build (at least for my taste and usage...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i've downgraded the build already, but not sure if i should reupload just yet. may be wait for a day because i myself had one SOD today.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pgonza02:
Feature Requests

Hi,

Really like your ROMs.

Was wondering if I could suggest a couple of features:

1. Co0kie's Home Tab

2. Transparent bars (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647579)

3. Basic Facebook tab (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651007)

4. Automatic Wifi on/off.

Thanks very much for the great work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
The SOD was with the 21898 build? :cool:

I think just reupload, more Topazes means more testing ground... Just remind everyone to watch out for the SOD, and report back in the forums...

We would be happy to help hunt down bugs :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
This is all subjective. If someone needs these, just install them...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
Just trying to make memory of all the ROMs I fooled around with, but I believe the SOD happened to builds 21895 and upwards, 21898 was the first that did not have those issues (again, it may also be related to the Topaz vs. Leo packages as referenced by shumilica)... Can anyone else help out in confirming this? I think it would help the chef out a lot rather than having him changing and testing a bunch of builds on his ROM before releasing a new one...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
The last build before this one that I used was Prime II (21891 I think...), and SOD never happened. Actually, Prime III was the first ever SOD for me... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
ok reuploading.

as i said before the only changes between prime II and III were the build and removal of htc messaging, so what do u think is the possible cause of SOD?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] chikoo:
I have used Pisca 21898 and it did have SOD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Is this a trick question? :D

Hmm... lets see...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
I think we got to blame MS on this one, dude, those builds may not have been "ready for primetime" as they say... I think that last build that you used on Prime was the last good one MS released in the COM2 family (good in that it did not have the SOD)... In the other ROMs I tried, the SOD was never really fixed and the chefs just pretty much moved on to the next build.

I know someone said that Pisca's 21898 ROM was SOD'd (tried his briefly), but, I've tried Nhat's, NRG's, and QBUS's 21898s and didn't have that issue...

Wish I had more technical expertise to help...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Well, if someone wants to be super-safe, they have to use stock builds (was it 21887?)... If not, it will always be trial-and-error... Pride IV and Prime II were both spot-on stability-wise.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
if 21896 is also not stable, i'll go back to 21891 which was pretty good for 2-3 months on prime II
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I can vouch for 21891 as well... :) But I am stronghly hoping that 21896 does the trick...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
+1... Really, though, all of !Aman!'s ROMs have been spot-on, probably the main reason why we love his releases and, personally for me, the ROMs I keep on my phone the longest.

If you do release the 21896 build, will let you know how it goes... Glad to see you back, BTW...:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
If you already packed up the 21896 let us try it (beta-test it), without publishing it on the first page and update the thread title.

Just a tought, can you consult with nathoa or NRG or qbus to see if you have the same source for the 21898 build? Maybe the different sources (dealers :) ) are the problem, don't know. If you don't have time, i'll ask... or this question it's forbbiden to ask to chefs? :)

Maybe Prime II was stability wise, but Prime III is freekin' fast... and stable besides those SODs...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
i dont think build is the cause of speed, could just be the removal of HTC messaging. i'm already uploading, so it wont take long for u guys to try it and report back
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thanks! I make lots of calls and text all day, so next morning the real testing will start! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
thats good, coz topaz is no longer my main device. i use samsung corby speed these days coz my company has a policy for CDMA devices :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
mmm, I was removing the htc messaging just after I flashed all your 2.5 ROMS. Of course, the exe would be there after the disabling process(zeenye method), but it was not loaded, and the it wasn't as snappy as prime III (i'm not just talking about manila, but hole processes). Maybe it has something to do with the removal of HTC TaskManager more than with HTC Messaging.

Anyway, waiting for the link to try the new ROM.

Ough, from what I understood, You've rebuild your kitchen, no? Maybe something you forgot to put in it or something like this, or Prime II was made out with the same kitchen, so this couldn't be the case of the SODs? Don't know, just asking, don't get me wrong :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
don't worry, there weren't any noticeable changes as i had backed up the whole kitchen as such to my HDD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
Thanks Aman

When I extract it says corrupt file...

I'll try re-downloading.

Kritopheto, can you try extracting the nbh file from the arhive today, to see if it is just me?

Thanks

edit:

oh, I can not download for some time by now... "You have reached the download limit for free-users." - rapidshare non-sense. Why do people still use them? I mean if you win some bucks from downloads, ok I understand chefs using it, but if not, why not google docs? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Its corrupt for me as well... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
try this also

if that is also corrupt, i cant upload tonight. gotta wait for tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
Also corrupt. Oh, well then... I'll just wait for tomorrow :( but i don't think i'll have the spare time that I had today at work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
ok, removing both the links then.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Guys, I think that SOD is releated not to SYS build but to OEM packages (2.53) - if you search on this forum and/or google you will find that people have the same problem even on stock rom.

However - after some SODs on my phone it's gone now. I'm on COM5 23551 build now and my phone hasn't been rebooted for last 3 days.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
But then Prime II should have SOD'd at some point, which it did not - for nobody, for 2 months... And Prime II had 2.53 OEM packages...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] razlie:
yeah.. agreed... never got it in PRIME II b4.... wierd... PRIME III is such a fast ROM .. but dis SOD make it less stable :( ... hence revert to old build...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jono_l:
I did actually encounter symptoms similar to a SOD in Prime II mind you; approximately once every week, the phone would appear to be unresponsive to the power button after it'd gone to standby. Had to reset the phone a few times by pulling the battery and/or using the stylus on the red button behind the battery cover.

Never made a note of it, as I put it down to all the extra add-ons I'd installed.

Funny thing though, eventually I figured that the phone would eventually wake up if I simply held onto the power button for a good 5-10 seconds or so. Hence, I'm not sure if it's a "true" SOD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
reuploaded Prime III, here's the link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/373695416/RUUPrimeIII.rar

Pls provide feedback related to SOD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:

Will report back ASAP.

Thank for your effort.

Edit: Flashing right now.......
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
!Aman!

Is it correct that you reverted back to 21896???

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Yes, its 21896.

I hope its working, I am downloading now and flashing in 10 minutes.

Edit: flashing now, and crossing my fingers. (MTTY + flash + HR)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
No problems yet..

I did not do the MTTY...

Edit: Man this rom is fast. And I thought Nhathoa roms were fast..... My Bad ;-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
T + 60 minutes, everything fine until now... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
I can confirm this :P
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Still holding on, installed back everything, no SOD...

Looks like the WM build did the trick... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
Will report my findings of the weekend on monday morning.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
2 hours and so far no problems
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Lasker1:
I got a semi SOD device didn't respond and got a black screen for 5-10min then it waked up.

This happen when I view all messages trough the wm default app

and try to close it.

This behaviour stopped when I disabled threaded sms with advanced config after that the sms app seem to close properly.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
Maybe this is because you just restored the messages with PIMBackup(or what software you use to restore PIM informations). After the import, the device acts very slow, until it rebuilds the messages database.

I know what you've experienced, sometimes my wm messaging hangs for some seconds to one minute when I try to close it. It is not ROM dependent, but more because of the heavy database filled with messages (plus the threading configuration)...

What you experienced wasn't a SOD, it simply hung up for a while because of the heavy processor usage...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
guys let me know if it's OK to post the link and mirror in first post.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
For me it is ok but like you said before maybe 4 hours isn't enough.

So far so good (4,5 hours)

it should be blue now, just tested on my topaz.

im still having the SOD after downloading the new file from rapidshare today. can anyone help me
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
If you are using the link in the first post, that is the file that is suffering from the SOD issue... The chef posted a test ROM with the 21896 build in a post about two pages back. This release does not suffer from SODness (not yet, anyway, I have had it on my phone for almost 12 hours now with no issues)... I guess he is waiting to confirm that the release is solid before posting it on the first page.

Here is the link...

Nice and clean rom only 1 problem so far.

When i go to the SMS tab it freezes, and it also shows an SMS from 'William Archbell' which says 'test message'

Any fix?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Lasker1:
Have been playing around with the rom frequently for 11 hours.

Customized and installed a lot of apps.

No SOD yet:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
If you are daring, NRG has a .cab to restore the HTC Messaging... Dunno how it will work on !Aman!'s ROM, but you can give it a try... Check his folder for Addons and Hotfixes...

Thanks Aman, the new Prime III (with build 21896) is working flawlessly for me; have had it running for the past 4 hours and no SODs yet - will report if otherwise. No email graphics glitch for me on this one either!

Especially love the Sense 2.1 messaging which is lightyears ahead of the Sense 2.5 one! Now I can finally type messages without having to worry about misplaced spaces, the text box losing focus, and having to wait for all the previous messages to load either.

Keep up the good work mate!

Just found something really annoying. When making a call or receiving a call there's now a formatting. It now adds paratheses and hyphens.

So instead of 010-123456 as it has always been it now shows this: (010) 123-456.

Can some friendly sould here guide me to where I can change this. It really annoys me :)

Congratulation, it is a great rom

I only wish to know if there is a way to remove the "activesync" from the task manager: i often find it switched on in task manager (clicking the upper right button in home screen).

Another thing: to use a new sound for sms or email, do i need to put the .wav in the /windows directory? Is it enough?
