[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RayEarth:
Hi,

I just tried the GT1e version and agree that it is much faster than revision d. However, the ram use is also much more.

On second boot (after UC stuff), I only have 41.33mb without titanium and without any additional program installed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
Thanks for reporting this Ray. You did mention that this is observed on the second boot (i.e after UC). Can you confirm that this persists in subsequent bootups after a soft-reset with Titanium turned off? My observation so far has been that the ROM gets better (or atleast stays put) and remains fast and stable with ample memory to spare.

I actually see the RAM pretty stable in GT1e at bootup (minus Titanium) between 50 & 52 MB. It then drops to around 48 odd MB in the next 5 mins and stays there (standby or minimal activity). This is with the Gen.Y bootloader installed. After a whole day's usage, with email, texting, phone calls (and also using Titanium with default plugins on) the RAM comes down to around 39MB and stays there.

Can anyone else confirm a memory leak similar to this, showing at bootup with minimal activity and no titanium? I've been working on tweaking romhdr further and should be picking this up as my primary agenda in the next releases anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RayEarth:
Arh 3rd boot ~48mb. Much better...

By the way, you should change the pressure thresholds in the registry to "FFFFFFFF" to maximise screen sensitivity (just do a search for "pressure").

Also I see file system cache is disabled - does that make it run faster?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bankai03:
Little return on this ROM after a few hours with.

It runs perfectly, no particular worries.

Ram and consumption level is perfect with the radio 1.17.

I do not use the dual boot.

Little Things to see:

- Advanced config should be uninstalled.

- We can not choose the vibration of the keyboard which is a shame.

If duplicates are correct, but happiness.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
Thanks for pressure threshold tip Ray. I'll put it up in the next release. Although I'm not sure if it gets overwritten by welcome/align screen, I'll check and confirm though.

Disabling file system cache doesn't really make things faster (it doesn't make things slower either). There are indeed plenty of tips which say enable it for speedy usage and also subsequently increase cache size and cache filter size, but I've seen that this works on some builds and doesn't do much on others.

There is also this stability issue that has been observed in the past (while file system cache is enabled). This happens when the device is soft-resetted and there is a write operation to cache. Things have known to go bust when something like this happens. It's basically a personal choice to keep the ROM stable and as fast as it can be without compromising either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
thanks bankai, noted ;)

Office Mobile 2010 (with new outlook conversation mode)

It's possible to have a screenshoot ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thetiger1401:
Thx very much ! but conversation is only for mail or for sms/mms ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
SMS had conversation mode for quite some time now. Why don't you try the ROM ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littld:
Hi there could we pls have the default new WM keyboard? thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bankai03:
Here is the original Microsoft dialer.

http://www.mediafire.com/?0jjm2wugiaz

We made a return if it works and that is what you search.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littld:
Good rom, a few observations:

1. I like the speed, ram usage seems okay to me

2. Opera 10 works well but last entry in Titanium always shows "Favorites - Import your favorites from Opera" and returns an errror if I try to import using it

3. EzInput is very slow (compared with BsB) and (someone else pointed out) doesn't have vibrate option

4. New Messaging with preview looks good and works well

5. Ramsweeper works (used to crash for me on BsB)

6. MSN Weather widget is missing but still referenced in titanium plugin (is very handy if you want more weather detail). I can't see how to add this back.

7. Auto-rotate doesn't work in Album - it seems to force landscape mode

8. Auto-rotate doesn't work in Opera - this is set to portrait

9. I can't get Youtube to open any videos at all. In Opera, clicking on a Youtube link opens Album and then says not supported, clicking on a video in the Youtube app gives an error.

10. Visually (personallY) I don't like the custom startup screens and miss having the range of themes which were part of BsB. I'd like the option to switch back to 3 column view in Start - sometimes the Start list takes a long time to open (several seconds) and I wonder if this is due to the 4 column view.

Thanks for this great rom - these comments are meant to be constructive rather than critical.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cryingcupid:
also about 48mb, no more software install, after one day using is about 37mb. I think it's ok for me.

Is there anyway to set the long press end button? because I always set it to cut the data connection but not the lock.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
Thanks for the feedback and tips littld. oh believe me, it's always constructive for me.

2/ Yep, realized that the import bit wasn't fixed. I'll do so in the next release.

3/ Ezinput, I'll include the latest from Leo next time around. It's faster and I'll also put up the vibrate choice in UC. The slowness may be observed a bit more while using XT9 (dic on) because file system caching is disabled in this ROM and XT9 usage can get directly affected. You can try enabling cache just to check the performance difference.

6/ I'll include both Money and Weather widgets in the next release. For now you can pick the weather widget from here.

7/ noted (will included this and/or perhaps put this in UC next time)

8/ noted (ditto)

9/ Hmm, this is odd, coz the youtube app works fine for me and loads the video alright, I use it quite regularly, although it does so in landscape only, it works alright. Opera 10 on the other hand, I'm guessing tries to link to the Fullscreenplayer with flash support (included in ROM), but instead dead-ends at the album. I'll try and fix this issue in the next release.

10/ ;) Visual preferences!! I'll leave them open to you to customize and install as required, although yes, I could include some of the WM65 inbuilt themes as suggested. Four column start menu!! perhaps I'll also put this as a UC option although I'm not very sure if the load time is attributed to the four columns. I'll check this though for sure.

Thanks for all the feedback once again littld :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RayEarth:
Is there anyway to increase the RAM in this rom? I note that the Raffo ROM (v2.5) also uses 23518 build, but has 52mb free ram AFTER installing Rhodium dialer (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614695). For some reason the ram usage by GWES.exe on the Raffo ROM is also much smaller at 18mb compared to about 24mb for this ROM (each after few hours of using the phone).

I ask this because my usual installation = Rhodium/Qilin Phone Canvas, S2U2, Mobile Shell + MobileSense Espresso Skin. After installing those programs, I would have 15mb left on boot, and down to 6-7mb after a day of use. I can't really open any big programs after that.

The same package on Raffo ROM gives me ~26mb left on boot.

I still like this rom better because it is much faster and more bug-free!

Thanks in advance!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zillah35:
Hi,

I'm sorry for my English, i'm french.

I can't remove mi Pin-Code and i need to remove it to try Xdandroid.

It's a BUG in this ROM ???

It's possible to remove it in the registry???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RayEarth:
You can always change the registry value after the welcome/align screen via cab - see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=469865
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] syndicate333:
pls help me.... :(

or is the german language installed and i have to use a reg editor?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
I haven't tried the Raffo ROM yet, but i'll do so for sure and draw anything I can to improve this one. S2U2 generally walks around the line of 2-3MB and Mobile shell (esp with mobilesense) can go anywhere between 15-25MB in a day's worth is something I've seen with many ROMs (except BsB - he's the king of memory). There's always that thin line to acheive when it comes to balancing out memory vs speed (performance). I'm trying to push further on the RAM in my test ROMs lined up for version f and have managed to get around 54MB free at bootup, but at the expense of performance. I'll release the next one (with other fixes) as soon as I feel there is a balance between the two. Thanks for the feedback Ray.

Noted. Not sure if this is a build issue. I'll look for a solution on the forum. I suggest you do the same as well. Perhaps there is a registry hack (not sure though). If anyone can help zilla, please suggest a workaround.

Yep, sure can :)

As mentioned in the previous posts, the language file hasn't been installed, but support for it is available. You can pick the language file and install it as required.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
Yes I noticed the high usage on gwes. I'll try porting gwes from an earlier build. Maybe it'll keep things lighter. Thanks for the tip.

Bug report updated on post #2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bankai03:
Ralphus your fault I did not want to change the ROM :D, since the beginning of your ROM I am you is currently nothing to say, responsive support and very stable rom.

Thank you.:):):):):):):):)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] syndicate333:
i saw this problem in some other roms,too. i just put the sim card in an othe mobile and removed pin code there... not the best solution ..but it works :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zer0tr:
first of all, this is a great rom! and my first try at winmo6.5

but i switched back to winmo6.1 after a day 'coz i dont really like 6.5 and some of its bugs =/

so anyway, i'm not sure if this is a prob to everyone else as well

but in landscape mode, the full keyboard has been wrongly scaled.. the keys at the right most column cannot be seen.

also, is there any way i can change the lock shortcut in the start menu to shortcut to s2u2 or something?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zillah35:
It's an idea, but nobody have the same problem with this rom or it's just me???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] syndicate333:
me too... i also wanted to turn off the pin code requestion in the system menu...same problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
The landscape mode seems to be an ezinput issue. I'll port the latest pack in the next release to get this working.

The lock linking to s2u2, not sure if anyone done that yet :)

Not just you buddy, its prevalent in this ROM as too some new builds. I've added this as an issue/bug in post #2. Maybe the next build will have this sorted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
always welcome
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] paueti:
Gz m8!!! I have tested several HTC Diamond Roms and i have to say that yours is the best of all!! Great work you have accomplished what i expect of a cooked ROM:

Fast

Smooth

Stable

and with enough ram to run other applications without crashing

Thanks for the great work

ralphusion Please tell me whether BsB_additionalkbdlanguagaes.cab should work on this ROM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
:)

I have been able to send and receive MMS just fine in GT1e. Anybody else seen this issue?

Should work. Did you try it?

:) thank man. It will only get better with GT1F

Sure enough bankai, I'll be up with this release during the weekend. From the next one on, I can put the test builds up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bankai03:
Coool, thank you and strongly GT1F
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] piotrek966:
I tried, but it doesn't work. Do not see anytyhing when typing.

Your rom looks great, and it is mega fast. I hope the next version will support additional languages
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] syndicate333:
yes.... that would be nice... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] svmpatel:
Hi Ralphusion, first off, i'd like to thank you for providing a wonderful ROM that just simply works so well, thank you.

I'd like to ask a few questions regarding your ROM. Is it possible to re-enable the "Long Press End Key" setting so I can change it's behaviour? At the moment it is set to lock device, but I would like to change the function to "Set/Un-set Vibration" and I cannot find the control panel applet that allows me to do this.

Secondly, is there any way to re-enable the vibrate on key press function in EzInput? I've kinda gotten used to having some haptic feedback when I use the onscreen keyboard, but I cannot find the setting to allow this.

Last, but not least, is there any way to set the device not to blank when connecting/connected to a call as I tend to use a number of automated phone systems that require me to make a choice using the keypad during the call, with the screen continually blanking, I have to keep pressing the power to turn on the screen, go through the unlock process and then switch the phone canvas to keypad. Sometimes this causes a timeout on the system I am trying to access and it dumps me back out so I have to start again from scratch.

Any help you can provide with the above questions will be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

Sanj.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
Testing and trying to include them :)

So it could be in GT1F OR the release after. I'm putting up two builds in GT1F and one will be without EzInput. Some people have asked for this. You can maybe install your preferred EzInput version and play around with language files as required ;)

Thanks for the kind words Sanj. To answer each of your q's,

1/ Long Press End Key - has been lined up in GT1F

2/ EzInput Vibrate - will be a UC choice in GT1F (included TouchResponse app for customization)

3/ I've kept it at this on purpose as a lot of users don't really use the lock feature, and the diamond (other devices too) are pretty notorious when it comes to on-screen presses while the phone is against our ear (in particular if its a talented ear that likes tinkering around with apps while you talk on the phone). To make this work for you however since you need it, you can always use Advanced Configuration Tool or Diamond Tweak to change the setting. And, if you are willing to get your hands dirty with the registry, you can change the following values:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep - from 1 to 0

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable - from 1 to 0

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall - from 1 to 0

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\GSensor\PollingInterval - from 200 to 530

@all - except for #3 here, GT1F will have addressed quite a bit of the issues and bugs reported.

GT1F is almost ready, I should be able to pull it off pretty soon (next 24 hours perhaps)

Rom perfect for a small user french ^ ^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kimo_ig:
your rom is fantastic!! I LOVE it!!:D But i found some bugs. One that i remember, the dualboot screen conflicts with the password lock screen at startup. I had to remove the password setting to avoid that issue:confused:

BTW: can you please make me cab file for the custom look of the lockscreen used in that rom that i can install it in the future in any wm6.5.x roms???! i really love the layout. Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] norgan:
i loaded this for the first time today, so far i am very impressed. hopefully my ram leak issues will go away and this rom has lots of ram to spare anyway.

are you considering a sense 2.5 version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] guythomaz:
This is a contradiction: you cannot have a lot of free RAM and in the same time Sense loaded... Sorry, not with our Diamonds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
:D yea I'm kinda sick of the M&M meself. Time for a change!

cheers to that

Hmm, it does look nice, thanks for the screens

Thanks for reporting the dualboot bug. The lockscreen is Mindfrost's hack. You can look him up for the cab. I think its available.

I agree with you guythomaz.

@norgan: I cooked an older build with Sense 2.1 and it was filled with issues, mainly centered around RAM. I'm not a big fan of Manila primarily coz its not very well optimized for devices like our dear diamond. Sense 2.5 is even more RAM hungry and it really hampers daily usage and functions. So to put things into perspective, its unlikely that I'll put Sense 2.1 or 2.5 up in my ROMs. My aim with these ROMs is to give you the freedom to use it as you please, as too to possibly use alternate home screen UIs (and better memory managers) viz. SPB, Home2 etc, which line up far better than Manila, with loadsa RAM to spare.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kimo_ig:
I LOVE M&M's
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] norgan:
yeah thats fair enough mate, i just am starting to like sense 2.5, i dont rate 2.1 at all. i looked the new sense like plugin for titanium on the news on front page but couldn;t get it working.

what do you run? what runs goo donj your rom as far as providing sense like interface with info like weather etc. i do like titanium and the plugins for it are maturing nicely but still many limitations.

the new touchsense stuff that schap's doing looks very cool indeed. can;t wait for first roms with this in it.

so far though i must say your rom is testing out to be best, good battery left after a full day, gps works well, runs fast and smooth. thanks very much for your cooking :)
