Hello Gianton

I also am using Tess Leo 1 and Max Manilla 2.6

I've also noticed the same battery improvement

as yourself. (and what appeared to the loss in 2.4)

I just discovered a pretty comprehensive battery

usage screen built into MAx Manilla (see attached screen shot)

Unfortunately I've had my Device (AT&T Pure) charging since

I found this so I don't have much variance to show.

This is the first I've seen of Tbattery

But I just thought you might find this a useful way for you me anyone to report to Aman battery usage in a more standardized quantified format

(If we can agree on some type of typical usage benchmark workout)

Anyway Since you already have the facility built into Max Manilla

give it a shot. Just click the upper right screen area on the home page

(where clocks button used to be)

BTW just trying provide some help not trying to create work for anyone

WOW

Tess Leo, Max Manilla, TopazKbdControl_GSM_1.4, and HDWalls

These are ALL really fabulous Code, We are fortunate to have them

I really love my phone!

Used it for the last 10 hours, sorry to differ, but based on my brief test, battery performance has improved but performance-wise (the battery) not much different, 2.18 is a drainer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
you do realize that this rom now has 2.17 base , and your remark about 2.18 isn't making any sense. the remark is about this release hence 2.17 base!

Small text in all menu tabs

I've just reflashed from Pride I to this 'cause I want to try Sense 2.5. One question - why are all menus (in manilla) with so small font compared to Sense 2.1 tess versions? Is there any option to make them larger? Thx.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
Perfect ROM so far, just noticed if anyone else has this issue (which is NOT a big deal)... I use my "own" notifications when I receive SMS, email (and when I say my own, I think they are actually the notifications Dutty uses in his ROMS, ie "You have email"). When I get a text message, tho, I get the "You have a text message" sound, but then right after, I also get the "You have email" sound plus the email notification in the notification manager (I think I get the text notification also, can't remember). When I go to the notification manager, it sends me to the email tab (there is no new email) when I quite obviously got a text message (which I got one). Has anyone else experienced this, or am I just going loco?:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] IndicaviA:
Thats easy. Because Manila 2.5 is designed for Leo (4,3" display) and not for Topaz (3,2"). To je co? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sfa1964ky:
My Location

I am using Tess Essential and have no issues with it and my location works perfect. I flashed to the Leo I rom and my location did not work as well...any suggestion?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
Sometimes it work after some times, because my location work based on cell tower positioning, and some base cell havent exact position in wich city is they are...Like by my city: in center my location work exellent, but on city outborder is not so gut (more times "location is "unknown").

But somewhere in settings must be some about Assisted A-GPS (connected with Google location) and that must be checked too...

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sfa1964ky:
I made sure all my setting were correct. The older rom will give my location as Gladeville and change when I go to a different city, the new rom has me in Tennessee no matter where I am. It is the same radio so I am not sure what is going on.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
I dunno. Downloaded it. Flashed it. Saw on the initial boot up screen before the splash screen, it said 2.18.... so which part is not making sense? I know according to the spec it's 2.17. Making long story short, the fabulous battery life is a fable, at least on my 10 hours of initial test/use... So, IT'S A BATTERY DRAINER, SORRY.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
hi xkovi, check THIS out, maybe it'll help. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
when i said it is 2.17 based, IT IS and there NO BATTERY DRAIN problem in the ROM, if u have such problems they are of YOUR OWN.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] aLKayeL:
This rom is great, its smooth and fast. However theres 1 bug.

After I reply a SMS, the Home (end call) key does not work. As in when I press it, it just does nothing and does not bring me to the Today screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Yes, it's of my own.

You cook, I use, I report my experience. That's all. TESS 4.2 is the last, best, stable, fast of your Leo ROM. Again, it's my experience...unless you'd prefer to rate your own ROMs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
No battery drain at all m8, after 24h battery is at 81% with moderate use (some phonecalls and a couple of min wifi).

This is by far the best ROM for me incl. battery management!!!! :):):)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
I was read on first post, TESS Leo I have PhoneCanvas Rhodium...Is this phone canvas have both features: video call ,and conference call too ? ...Question, because Dutty ROM have OR first, OR another phone canvas...Havent both unfortunately.

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Yes it has both features TP & LP together.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
I was wondering about something. Personally I don't really like the look of the rounded 3G icon in the task bar in Aman's rom's. I solved this by installing Qbus' Topaz dialer. Now I have the standard look, which I like best. I haven't seen any negative side effects (yet). Anyone think this could be detrimental in any form? Anyway...just wondering about it at morning coffee :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
This is the first thing (Qbus' Topaz dialer) I install in TESS ROMs and haven't noticed any negative side effect what so ever. I like the curtain more than the TP and LP features which I never use.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Yeah, I seem to remember getting the tip from yourself :) Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:
great!

Great job !Aman!

4.1 was incredible, hope this is even better!!

cheers m8
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] daffie:
Yeah, thanks a bunch for another release. v4.1 is really already perfect...so let's find out what v4.2 will bring...dl-ing as we speak.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Downloading now, thanks Aman!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bosvelt:
Can I type in this build in landscape mode?!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
Does that mean Video call or Conference call or both?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cwl148:
Downloading now, 3Q!:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Both Video and Conference Call but no curtain to protect the keys.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Some screenshots and a megaupload mirror.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:

Well, just flashed and first impression is really good... it seems responsive and fast!

I see there's the new charging display... cute ;)

further testing when i'll be back home.

gr8 job !Aman!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] taox:
Let me try your rom, now.

thx! u r a good guy!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
Thanks! Nice!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bukito1:
Not support videocall?,

has spanish to write sms???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] marjanot:
Stick to TESS's ROMs as I found them most stable and fast. Just turn of the weather animation and it goes like hell.

Waiting to try newest release. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Ehsan021:
fantastic job man ..... its really fast & stable . thanks buddy .
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
After a couple of hours with this ROM, I can confirm better memory usage. With 4.1 used to have 65-67% now with 4.2 I have 55-57% memory usage. Same apps installed in both ROMs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Aman, this is incredible!

This is the most responsive M2.5 ever! For, now, its keepers. And if nothing lethal pops up, this is final for me!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Been using TESS 4.1 for a week and I'm impressed. Very nice ROM!

A few questions:

1. Is it just me or is there no regedit application in the TESS ROMs? I have looked around but found nothing. I would really like to see something like PHM Registry Editor.

2. A few ringtones would be nice. Of course I could add them myself but it's always nice to have them there from the beginning (less manual work after a flash).

3. Is the soft key in message tab fixeed in this one? There is no back button.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bukito1:
How can i put spanish keyboard in this rom?????
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
1. The Task Manager has a RegEdit pane, you can use that.

2. Everyone has favorite ringtones, and Aman saves several Mb's with ringtones...

3. Did not use texting yet, sorry...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:
I can confirm this ROM is sweet! everything runs smoothly and fast. no mayor bugs found so far thanks !Aman!

Laban you could try out this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4973237&postcount=1792

(i don't deserve the merit, but it's working fine to me)

Personally i prefer no regedit application in the rom. i can install my preferred one (so far using total commander)

for ringtones i copy kristofpetho! :-)

cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
Is like somewhat this: ...or can you upload TESS Leo I Phone Canvas picture when is not problem.

Thanks forwarding

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] UnSkilleD:
BÄM...

it's the fastest rom i've ever used..

nice work ;-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
It's like this one but with stock green colour
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
Yes that is it...I think today evening will flash Amans ROM, even rezension is exellent...

Thank You gianton

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
You're welcome... just hard re-setted and will give Rhodium dialer a better try. :D

I am sure you will love this ROM! ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
I'm new at this htc world and got mine TD2.

This is my first experience with cooked roms and this rom was my first.

Even with so many roms to try i think i'm going to stay with this one :)

Fast, stable, good look , etc etc.

Thanks Aman
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
That's a wise decision, I tried them all (or at least the most) and ended up using this one daily. It's a matter of taste actually, but if you look for a light, close to stock and very fast ROM this one beats them all. Not to mention great battery life, rock stability etc. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
Can't compare but agree so far!!

The only thing that i can't find in any thread (believe i searched a lot) is the possibility to have 12 shortcuts. Only find 16 or 20 but not 12.

I think i can live with it but 12 should be nice because i only want 3 columns
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
I know this is available in MaxManila 2.6 but haven't found a cab to do it in default Manila.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
Yes i know that too but i do not feel like install max only because of this.

Anyway maybe someone reads this and decide to give me a Christmas present (12 shortcuts cab) lol!!!

gianton, i'm really excited with my toy and this rom, i feel like a boy (i'm 42) playing with the toy soooo muth wanted!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
lol, I am on the same boat m8 (i'm a year older), loving my Topaz! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xkovi:
I'm still not sure whether to stay with this rom or go back to PRIDE line..If I compare the speed of manilla, especially in text messages, that's horrible - maybe it's caused by restoring my messages (about 300) by PIM from Pride I - when I choose the contact with more than 10 messages in history, rolling is very very jerky...

Many of you wrote that this rom is smooth etc...have u ever tried Pride line? Just want to know whether my bad experience can be caused by bad flash or sth like that...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
It has got nothing to do with this ROM or that ROM. PRIDE (previously TESS 4.1) line uses Sense 2.1, whereas LEO I (previously TESS 4.2) uses Sense 2.5. Now HTC really succeeded on doing a screw up job on its messaging app in Sense 2.5. I don't care what people might say, but once you restored 300+ messages by PIM Backup, it'll go berserk no question asked.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xkovi:
Of course I know eactly what sense 2.1 and 2.5 is! ;) I only say that when I'm trying to roll between messages - not only from one person but also in sms tab - animation is jerky and too far from smoothness of pride line (or if u want sense 2.1).

...don't understand your last sentence - do you think 300 messages is too much? It's about 10-15 messages from 20 people...in sense 2.1 absolutely no problem, everything went ok!:cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
in short, sense 2.5 was never designed for topaz, it will never match the speed of sense 2.1, dont complain.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
The reason I said 300 messages is too much, that's for Sense 2.5 to handle.

Same as you, I even have 500+ messages via PIM Backup. It's a horror story no matter which ROM (Sense 2.5) you use. So, I blame it on HTC app, the only lame workaround is using WM messaging (ugly!). :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xkovi:
That's what I wanted to hear - so it's feature, not bug :D

Generally, engineers from HTC has probably designed Sense 2.5 for HD2 and newer devices with much faster CPU...but I don't want to sacrifice this on my topaz...

I'll try to live with this for a week and then decide whether to go back to sense 2.1 or not :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sjauquet:
I choose to keep 2.5 but go back to MS for SMS with a cab found around.

Not so uggly and fast, just some integration to push further.

I works like for emails.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miro666:
What i saw, i did it...But make better: On clean TESS Leo I ROM i make restoration with Sprite Backup restore (with Merge ROM Level 1) clean Dutty HG R6 WWE, and i think i have got one Mix "NIRVANA" ROM !!! :eek: ,with best perfomances from both (my personal think, two best coocked ROMs on Topaz xda-underforum).... :cool:

Regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jetbro:
a lot of you here are claiming that this rom has great battery life, i've been using aebutton plus which tells me that my phone has an uptime forecast of 3 hours and 55 minuets, but actually if i use 3g (which i use a lot) my battery life drops to about an hour and a half to two hours max. i have tried radio 4.49.25.57, which not only did it not improve my battery life, but it destroyed my 3g connection. my current radio seems to work ok with everything, but i would like to know if there is anyway possible to improve my battery life?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
Hi Aman, I can also say that in HD2 font size in manila 2.5 it's not a problem with 4.3' screen but in TD2 it is!!!

All the solutions that i found are related to increase font size in manila 2.1 but for 2.5 i'm frustrated.

Do you have some ideia about how we can solve this problem in this rom?? particularly in sms tab and home calendar next appointment (In this one i barely can see what is there)

Thanks in advance to any solution you can find, i think this will be most appreciated for a lot of us :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
never mind ........
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] razlie:
oh well... maybe dats how aiman's response to ppl... well don't take it seriously, some ppl got some way of responding to questions ... its a forum and if ppl can complain the way they like , its fair for the chef to answer the way he/she likes..

anyhow its a discussion, don't get too personal in it... for both parties..

:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Hey, your initial post was actually well put. :D

...somehow I remember a teaser of this semi-indie cool flick called INK (Directed by Jamin Winans), there is this dialogue/monologue that sounds like "...it takes humility to remember who we are....he's convinced himself he's god, which is reminding him he's not.." :D some dialogue.

I still hoping those geniuses over at HTC headquarters will fix their messaging app, sooner rather than later.

And yes, the battery drain does exist, whether the chef likes to admit it (or not). Base 2.16 is not the same as 2.17. Sorry, couldn't put it out any better.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
hmm i can do something about SMS tab i hope, but not sure about others. it will be too much of a task and i barely get time to cook/experiment these days with the new job at hand.

exactly!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
well im sure it works great on HD2 already and HTC geniuses can't do much about it coz it was never meant for Topaz. the problem lies only with ppl like us who complain for something which was not meant for us.

u don't know my ROM better than me, do u :D?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Wishful thinking is better than no wish at all, aint it? :D

Sorry, your last non battery draining ROM was TESS4.1 actually. These days, all are good EXCEPT for the battery drains.

Same mentality (or PRIDE, oops, pun intended) as car engineers/designers who insisted his/her car is crash-safe after numerous crash tests, until a real accident happens on the street. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
I use tess longer than almost everyone (besides the chef himself), 2.16 base take my 70% of my time if compared to 2.17. my honest conclusion is:

1. yeah 2.17 base is faster , so i like it very much and i use it often, clicking here and there like crazy, so the battery does drain faster :D

2. after two days, and every custom thing that comes to my mind is added to the rom. on the third day comes the magic : the battery drain a lot slower , cause I dont even turn the screen unless for answering phone/sms/browsing.

sry if my answer cant satisfy u, but I love this rom (sure hell, u make te thread), not because i make the thread, but I always love !aman! works. even he made one for iphone, i will blindly buy iphone hahaha. the battery is just about the same, the difference is minimal. and that's my final answer.

ps : yeah this is not a very scientific answer that will satisfy u, but at least this is honest :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
Well actualy it's not working very well on the hd2. complaints about the lagging sms app on the hd2 are all over the internet. I think that's great that there are so many complaints because that will urge htc to do something about it . the hd2 is there flagship....I think it's ludricous anyway that an sms app can't be handled by a 528 mhz processor... very bad designflaws and programming.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
pun intended or not, i tell u staraightforward, the way i know, "i know my ROMs better than you or anyone else here" :)

i'm not a programmer (are you, i guess not :D). but being an engineer myself i know how complicated things are at low level and u just cant label that as bad designflow or program. that would be just unfair :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] talonz55:
Can't we all just get along?:rolleyes:

Let's not ruin this thread and the spirit of the work done here with back and forths on who is right and who is wrong... Everyone has an opinion and everyone has a different experience, so let us be willing to accept that and strive to help each other (preaching moment is over):D...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
This is a VERY interesting fact actually, blasev. hmmm... :)

It might be a matter of overpaid or underpaid programmer(s) at HTC headquarters. :rolleyes:

easy, there.... :D who would've thought that ROM chef is a hobby/job that poses mental hazard? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bandis710:
:eek: did not want to stir up a fight .. so let's just leave the the discussion for what it is and start discussing the rom again ..(In a civil way) .

And !Aman! no I am not a programmer, I am a tester ... I test software for a living , so I did not just make an uneducated remark ..

But like I said before , let's start discussing the rom again ..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gkai:
Hi Amman, thanks for this new ROM, for my use it is better than your previous 2.5 one, which was very good already ;-)

I just have a small problem compared with TESS4.1: in your previous ROM, I was able to access emails with the old MS interface...which was not very usefull (I prefer the HTC email application), except for one thing: it allowed me to go to advanced settings to tune the expiration time of my emails (lifetime of IMAP mails on my TD2, by default it keep only a few days of mails).

Is there a way to set this that I have somehow missed? This seeting is not available in the HTC mail setup, either in wizard mode or manual setting (or I did not found it)

Maybe registry tweaks?

Thanks!

Greg.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
no one wants to stir up a fight, but when a certain x,y or z keeps making same comments about something he/she doesnt know better than me, i've every right to defend my work. TESS didnt reach this stage just overnight. dont expect me to just keep quiet and listen to comments which are not even true.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
Congratz for the new job, in a time where people are losing there jobs you got a new one and that is good:)

I will wait about sms tab

Stay well and thanks for your work
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
india was never hit so hard so i guess, especially telecom sector. its not really new though, almost 3 months.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
Here in Portugal the scenario is not good either, i work in TI too but focus in websites, that's my area. It's hard to sell websites this days because company's here still consider something secondary.

Anyway fight for your job Aman, this hobby of your's came in second place.

we have time to wait for anything you ofter, at least i have:):)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
....so, LEO 2 (21884) is in a very very very near future? :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
not really, as long as there are not major updates to Leo itself like manila
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adamicj1:
add on

Hi your rom rocks, but could you tell me what are the deleted manila files for in your add on files

regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blasev:
do not use it, since it were meant for tf3d 2.1 (tess pride series)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
uploading Leo II version with updated CE OS build and some OEMs from Leo 1.61 ROM
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
Leo 1.61? Yayyyy, yippeee! how long will it be uploaded and posted? :) Seems like blasev is offline right now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
upload finished, but Leo 1.61 doesnt give us new manila, just some other OEMs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
if it's worth your time to cook it, I'll eat it up, !Aman! :D hopefully better luck on my side in regard to battery drain.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Zimaia:
Thank you Aman

Please can you tell us the change log??
