POWER and END CALL together gives cold boot screen with OK and CANCEL buttons at the bottom, neither one of which respond to touch or any soft keys.

It did hard reset though but only WM, i don't know why it wont hard reset android.... may be I'm doing something wrong?

i also want to add, in case i forgot to mention that i noticed android screen does respond to touch, but only when the back light turns dim. When i touch the screen, android back light turns back on. It does not respond to any other touch at all :( this is very annoying and i'm waiting impatiently for my 2g micro sd to show up ( of course it takes for eeeeeeeeeeever when we purchase from china and pay only $4, i should've just picked one up at a local store ).

thank you for taking time to explain the flash process.

in your opinion, do you think you're better off with android 2.1 in place of WM & android together? i ask this because i thought that there are a lot more programs available that are compatible with WM than android but i may be wrong...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Android vs WM..

I've been debating this one myself, and I think on the whole Android has it, mainly because the UI is better for touch use. As far as apps go, I think it's about 50/50, more are being invented every day, and most seem to integrate well with the system, where as it always felt with WM that the apps simply sat on top of the OS, it's all a matter of perception, I know, so I suppose it's just a matter of taste. Though it could always be a case of the APIs being better in Android, so there is less to set up for a given app.

I find it rather telling that SPB mobile shell is so popular on WM devices, and this gives as close to an Android experience as you can get with the system. I'm also encouraged by the pace of development with the Android OS, particularly that Flash 10.1 is now available for A2.2, hopefully making sites such as Iplayer & YouTube directly accessible via the browser, so not requiring dedicated apps. I also like the PIM integration with Google's servers, very handy to be able to update calendar, contacts etc. from anything with a web browser. There's also far less messing about with port settings for GPS etc, it just works it out itself. The downside of this is that there is no direct access to such settings.

Android on the T5353++ is not without it's innate issues though, RAM being the foremost of these, hence I'm looking forward to A2.2, as it contains optimisations in the code to make everything snappier, along with Apps2SD - meaning you won't have to keep such an eye on internal storage.

In conclusion, I think I found WM less frustrating, but more boring, but them I'm someone who likes to fiddle and tinker, so it all depends on the kind of person you are. Now that A2.1 is (virtually) stable, I'd say it comes down to what you're comfortable with in terms of UI.

The benefit of this device being that if you don't like your chosen system, you can always switch to the other, so you're not stuck with something you find a pain. Due to the limited resources of the hardware, I don't think I'll be going back to Dual OS, unless there is no other option.

Which version of android do you have with your phone btw? Is it running from internal storage, or the sdcard(the easy way to tell this is if your SDcard contains a file called zimage or not)? I only ask as my phone originally came with android running from th SD, and was laggy/buggy beyond belief, and the latest version of A2.1 (the "fourth edition") is a world away in terms of stability etc.

Another type of T5388++ / TOPS A1 ++

I just want to share my expreience with you :

Hi, I just receive my TOPS A1++ (plus plus) from aliexpress :p...

6 hours later, phone stop working will trying to solve Gsensor-not-working and gps-not-working and zoom-bar-not working... :mad with russians patches (i'm french speaking) :confused:

I try to flash using advice from the begining of this (very) long tread...

None work for me.

IDT not working also...

FYI : this dual sim MTK6516 256/256 model HAS NO volume keys, NO power keys... just HANG ON, HANG UP, WINDOWS and BACK (all in one row)

I was begining to become crazzy when (by accident) I hit :

HANG ON + WINDOWS : FACTORY RESET

HANG ON + HANG OFF : UPDATE FROM SD CARD

HANG ON + WINDOWS + HANG OFF : BOOT MENU giving two options : 1.

update from SD card 2. update from PC 3. cancel

unfortunatly for me, only factory reste work. when I try update from SDarc (a 1G SDCARd and K3IMG.bin)... failed to load from SDCAR

when try to update from PC (with last IDT from hisilicon)... first time PC load USB sync driver, then... nothing

If this info can help somebody here ;)

Have a nice day
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Don't know where this came from, but did you try pressing the zoom bar bellow where it says 'ok'? I only did this once, a long time ago, but this thought just occured to me over dinner....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
not sure but when it boots, it shows the android logo (monkey or bugg or whatever it is), then it shows SOHO 2, and then shows a screen with "android" written on it...

no Zimage on SDcard. My device did not come with an SD card either and there is only one slot ( that i can see ) and it has my own SD card from before (which does not contain zimage). i even did a search on my entire phone and did not find zimage.

yes, that is what i though initially. I was tapping all over the screen, trying to press "zoom out", trying to slide my finger towards "zoom out". I am not sure if it responded to me pressing over "OK" on the screen or "ZOOM OUT" or "CALL BUTTON" but it rebooted and did a hard reset. I was very happy at first only to find out that it only performed a hard reset on WM :( [very disappointing].

require help for T5388i

Hi

I just bought T5388i which claims Marvell PXA310 806MHz, RAM 288, ROM 513, Display 240X400.

Can any one guide me 1. how to Calibrate the Gravity sensor,

2. make the gravity sensor work for all the application

3. Were to get and how to install Manila 2.6 2D (or if possible 3D) and work with dual sim

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vagelisss:
any clue?

I am a bit confused... (i have the t5388++)

1. I cannot sent sms via sim 2.

is there a way to resolve this?

would flashing to the C03.021.01 ENG change something? i currently have C03.001.01 ENG with radio version 4-16-2010

2. randomly my phone goes black screen and does not respond to nothing... i have to remove battery and restart...

would this be fixed with the latest version of rom?

3. after flashing my contacts,sms installed programs etc will be factionikng normally or would i have to reinstall them on my phone?

4. in general is there any reason to flash to the latest rom version????

thanks in advance

Comatose problem SOD

Yes, you have a menu in sms composition page, where you can choose. If you don´t have option, you will see 2 blank rows, first row is for SIM1 and second row is for SIM2.

Yes, I had C03.020.01 ENG and in that rom menu for send SMS from any SIM is correct. By the way, do you have the ROM C03.021.01ENG in a file? If you have it, could you tell link or upload to any online storage? (rapidshare, fileupload, etc...)

This problem is called "comatose problem" or SOD (Sleep of Death), and it is a common problem of this model. You can try with other roms, I don´t know if 021 solves the problem, but you can read this thread http ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765631

Yes, after reflash a new rom you are deleting all your phone memory, including sms and contacts. You can use an application to do backup of your data (SPBackup for example)

Usually is better last versions of rom, last versions of drivers, fixed bugs, etc...

Please, don´t forget tell us something about C03.021.01ENG file ROM.

Best regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vagelisss:
first of all thanks a lot for the quick and clear responce... As for the rom C03.021.01 ENG I haven't found it yet but hopping since it has been released

you For the time being i will not test the C03.020.01 ENG since i understood that it does nothing for the sod issue ... if i do find C03.021.01 ENG i will upload it immediately...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ffiesta:
I have a doubt.

I've been writing about the subject but i thing my problem is not, what everyone talks about.

The problem I have is some instability in the sim's ramdomly they lost signal, but the icons stay the same like if they have network.

Is it this you call comatose or SOD? By the questions I've seen the SOD is the phone goes stand by and never wake up!

Can someone elucidate me.

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] manueldg:
Ok, thanks. If you need C03.020.01 ENG (or another language) I have all, if you need only ask me for it, but I advance you that this version has SOD problem. (At least English, Portuguese and Spanish versions)

Please, visit this threat, http ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765631 and test the rom uploaded by bgcngm it is very stable, only one sod in 3 days. (I am not sure if first SOD were real SOD).

Ok, your problem is another one. I think you need upgrade your radio version. You can search (I can´t remember where is it, search this forum pages 90-93 more or less) last rom of T5388i, you have to download IDT program, and upgrade your T5388++ with ONLY MODEM of that ROM. (If you flash AP+MODEM you can brick your phone, because T5388++ and T5388i are different hardware but same radio)

Best regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] a_sun_of_beach:
if someone has any new ideas or something, i would def. like to try.

thanks adstraylight for taking the time to help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] lvjinyuan:
not really..

we also have the same ROM and RAM just like the real diamond 2.

you have got one?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
I've got one and while the adverts and the seller claims that the spec is identical (they even claim it is made in the same factory as the real HTC item) the truth is very different. RAM and ROM sizes are not the same as the real item, they simply display a bogus value from the registry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
True, after flashing to A2.1, you will no longer have WM, the phone will be a purely Android phone, as there has not been a dual OS release with A2.1 - probably due to space requirements, but maybe as they always planned o release A2.2 soon after (should be today :eek: - but the release dates haven't been that reliable so far, will be checking the ste frequently today....).

You're very welcome, I just know how frustrating it can be to get info, nobody even replied to me on this forum when I started asking questions.

Yesterday, I've flashed my phone the last english rom I see, and after, I flash with the radio of T5388i but the problem still persist.

Any new ideas, this is a problem to me because i can't heard when someone call me, in both sim cards.

lockscreen icon ( to lock, not to unlock lol)

that may be because you are already a pro at all this and when you do have a question, it's likely to be a tough one since you'd probably figure out the easy answers yourself...

if you have time, i'm trying to make a custom icon to lock the screen. I've tried to connect it to LS_LockScene.cpr and SMartlock.dll. Neither one worked. You wouldnt know of a "code" to use so that this icon can lock the screen when i tap it.

thanks again.

How do i know which phone I have, I think it is a 5353++. So I wan't to test out the android 2.1, now I have wm 6.5.x and android 2.0 but the android version has much problems with installing new software (can this be because it is a developer rom?) and with the internet connectivity.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
:D Believe me, everything I know about this phone, I've learnt in the last few weeks, when I first came here I was a total N00b. You've just got to persevere, and check out every hint that there's a way to achieve what you want, with the certain knowledge that you're going to to hit many dead ends.

Unfortunately I can't help with your request about a screen lock, but I'd start by searching for "windows mobile screen lock widget", as it's likely that someone has done the groundwork already, and may have even posted their findings somewhere. The thing about google is not to take the 1st 10 results as being representative, as you can sometimes find answers on the 200th search result, or at least something to point you in the right direction.

If you just want to change an icon, you first have to determine the source of the existing one, then find some kind of resource editor, if it's burried in a .dll, the source may be referenced in the registry somewhere, to check you'll need a registry editor, as WM doesn't have one built in (that I know of).

Good luck :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Sounds like you have the T5353++,

The specs are:

Marvell 624MHz processor,

128MB RAM, 256MB ROM (whatever the Chinese say ;))

240X400 Screen

And it looks like a HTC Touch Diamond 2.

Flash with A2.1 from this site: www.moon0755.com the one marked as "fourth edition", as it's the most stable so far - interestingly you can download directly via the google translated version, the only site I've found so far where this is possible:confused:.

All other instructions I've now posted so many times that a search of this thread is bound to find them:D.

Yes, the A2.0 was next to useless, no market, no Google apps, no sync, the most recent A2.1 fixes all that, just gets bogged down with memory shortage from time to time, and is very power hungry when out of GSM signal, and when using Wifi - you just have to get into the habit of switching off the radio functions when you're out of range/they're not needed. Oh, and some apps from the Market don't fit the low res screen, but most scale prety well.

Have Fun!

P.S. The latest on A2.2 is that the Dev has found some last minute bugs, so it will be a couple of days more :mad::D

Fingers Crossed :D

It seems that our phone is something of a minority interest, and probably wasn't available when this thread was started, when I first got mine there was virtually zero information on the web, doing my best to make it easier for people with the limited stuff I've found out:).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
I put in a request to the manufacturer that they fix the timezone thing on the next release. It comes down to a line probably put in for convenience by the Devs back in 2009, contained in the init.rc file. Sadly this is uneditable, unless you're knowledgeable enough to unpack/repack the boot image on the phone.

It doesn't bother me so much now, as I rarely have to reboot with this latest release.

Glad the flash worked out, yep the setup is a PITA, but you only have to do it once thankfully:D.

So the Nokia battery code BP-4L Battery works with the 5353++ model? Is it better than the original battery?

I saw the nokia one has 1500mAh and the battery from the original touch diamond 2 (not the clone) has 1100 mAh, but what amount does the clone battery have? Android really eats away energy :o
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
I've found the battery drain depends on how much you're using wifi primarily, I suppose if you're checking out the market etc. having just got access, then you're using it a lot :D. Just remember to turn it off when you're not using it :)

Also, if you're in an area with no phone signal, then use flight mode, you can still turn wifi on independently of this. It seems that when there is no GSM signal, the phone tries incessantly to acquire one, which drains the battery like nothing else. Once GSM connection is established, then it uses a little as any other phone.

Don't know if the Nokia battery works, but the clone ones seem to be about the same as the HTC original.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Firestrikers:
Yea I don't really use wifi alot, more edge, but that also uses alot of youre battery.

The batteries that I've got with my clonephone where both 1100mAh, but are they the same size as the original htc ones? Then I would look for a better one.

But this morning when I woke up my cellphone was plugged in all night to charge, and I saw that the battery only was at 50%, after a reboot it continued charging. That was really wierd.

And the swapper 2 thing doesn't seem to work with me, all it says is please wait after i click on.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
The original HTC battery does fit this phone, the connections seem slightly offset (by a tiny amount), so you have to wiggle it into position.

Sometimes charging stops too early for me too, not sure quite why, could be something to do with calibration of the software that monitors the battery state. I've read that something to try is to run the battery flat, then charge to full without using the phone. This way I think it learns the capacity of the battery, I know for a fact that other non phone, battery management systems work in this way.

I have a cheap charger that has a slot for a 2nd battery, so when it looks like the internal charging is going weird, I swap to a fully charged battery. Seems to keep it running ok most of the time. Think I bought it from Ebay.

Swapper2 will only work if you have superuser and busybox installed, it can download the latter itself via the menu (press the windows key), apologies if you've already done this :D.

Superuser installation instructions can be found by searching this forum, you'll also need ADB (android debug bridge) on your pc - this comes as part of the android SDK, in order to install the SU command file onto your phone.

Ok, you really know a lot from this phones, glad you are so helpfull. What I've noticed that no decent qr scanner app works with this device on android 2.1, probably because most qr apps are based on the zebra crossing library from google. (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/). So with every epp i try to run it just doesn't show anything. And now I've tried Google Shopper and I finally got a error message.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
I've always assumed this was to do with the camera itself, outputting the wrong format, I could be wrong however, and it may be a case of something missing in the OS.

Recently I went looking for a better camera app, the only one I could find that worked at all was "Camera Pro", this is fine but it's digital zoom function doesn't work - still better than the stock app though:). Perhaps this app simply has support for more hardware types, and the scanner apps were just designed with more mainstream phones in mind..

Using the 5388+ (topa100 ?? ) rom version V03.04.00 for a few weeks now I hardly found any bugs ... some things need tiny workarrounds

Anyhow during the day the free memory keeps getting reduced from 55mb free at startup till 38 mb at the end of the day ... CleanRAM mode 3 frees an extra 0,38 mb. But for some reason charging after a reboot is 3 times faster than when I leave it on ... the official charger is the fastest with 1000mA charging capacity ...

I can't see where the memory has gone since taskmanager shows some proccesses but not all it seems to me .... is there something like sysinternals ?

And I hardly see any new roms for the 5388+, not that I need it badly since everything I try works well ... not many bugs no new or improved rom version ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Firestrikers:
Yea, ok exact error is: "Sorry this device does not support the Android camera correctly. Please contact the manufacturer with the following information:

Android devices must return camera preview frames in yuv420sp format."

QR code is really handy but a shame we can't use it!

I installed superuser and the busybox app couldn't install through swapper 2 so I installed it with terminal app on my device. But swapper 2 still ain't working...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Did you install busybox via Swapper's own downloader? If not then it won't know where to find it, I think I have 2 or 3 copies of the busybox command files on my phone now :o. Also Did you simply install the Superuser.apk? SU needs to be enabled on the phone: look at part 6 of this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4257045

If you've done all this then, can you tell me what settings you're using in Swapper?

I'll wait and see what develops with A2.2 (still not released yet), and if this problem persists, I'll email the manufacturer re: the camera, as it seems they really want to get it right and provide a fully working system to go with their phone. From what I've read, Android is becoming the big thing in the Chinese Cell-phone market, which can only be a good thing:)
