thanks for your comments, glad you like the rom so far:)

regarding the album, i also tried the QZrom and found issues with the album. i fixed it on mine by using an older version (its the same CAB i posted on the_scotsman's thread. i'havent checked the FB intergration as i felt it was more improtant to get it working right.

i'll investigate a fix in my next build

Regards

Chris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stevesuk:
Thanks Chris. Don't spend too much time on it. Having Facebook integration in the album is just one of those "nice to use occasionally" features - not having it isn't a show stopper.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
tbh, once i've got all the bugs out and a potential release candidate. i'll post it for views and oppinions.

once that is out i'll just be working on it to get as much free ram as poss. my aim is to try for 30mb (i like a challange but i think i may struggle)

Chris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Magic6661:
i like your rom, a slow as hell at the beginning, but with the use it comes back to normal.

i don't like you can't change the background for all tabs, just for the home tab, but oh well....i will survive.

so far is nice, good job :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
lol:) agree it's slow at first, and i'm trying to balance the pagepool with the ram..

if you think this one is slow on first boot wait till the next one arrives. very slow on first boot (nearly 5 mins)

got it running a dream with a few 'changes' from the beta's that i think are for the better. Ram is mid to high 20's under normal use.

just ironing out the kinks then will 'up' to 4shared

Hi,

Internet Sharing doesn't run.

Error: The file intshrui.exe cannot be opened.......

I downloaded the cab for ics from the following post which allowed it to work when plugging in via usb. Shortcut in Programs still gives the same error. (Edit: I have since edited the existing shortcut from "\Windows\intshrui.exe" to just "intshrui.exe" and that shortcut now works. Maybe that's all that needs doing?)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stevesuk:
Looking forward to flashing this as soon as you've uploaded.

Also installed Yozgatg's app for dual-booting Android at start-up, which works perfectly with your ROM.

So the best of both Worlds. Usable version of Android to play around with, and Windows Mobile 6.5 with Sense 2.5

And to think, a few weeks ago I was thinking of replacing my Diamond :)

Thanks for your fast reply. It works. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] huntervu:
Even your ROM works now, I think WM 6.5.x with sense 2.5 is too heavy for running on Diamond. If its possible, could you mix 6.5.x + Manila 2.1, with your current optimization, it will be the most useful ROM :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
now i understand

these packages are not available in cab form they are part of the rom.

sensor sdk4 removed as it uses more ram as advised in the first post i chose to remove as it only controlls the rotation.

rolled back the album as there are vga issues with the newer version. also advised in the first post. removed the rest as they have no impact on the function of sense.

the aim of this is to see how much i can cut to get sense working with ram to spare. as advised these are not something i will add as i don't feel they are required.

sorry i can't help you on this. but if it is of interest i am building a sense 2.1 rom at the moment that has more put back

sens 2.1 works very good in term of ram used, minimum free ram I've seen not less than 10MB. Your ROM can be used daily except I found some error when tapping start button, the button in bottom side appear not correctly.

This time I didn't use Mitty, it might help, but I must go to bed :) Thanks for your hard work and very fast reply.

Hi Chris,

Couple of weeks away on business and it's amazing how the bar keeps getting pushed higher.

I didn't think I would ever see a 6.5.3 with Sense 2.5 for daily usage.

One thing.

Still getting the Sense can't start problem. Is this just something we have to live with or do you think it's fixable?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
hi Phil, thanks for the comments. i'm still not entirely happy with the ram situation but i'm running out of thinks to 'cut' without impacting the usability!!! it's a ballance between memory and performance that a lot of people are working on. i'm considering removing IE and a few other base apps cos it's something i don't use. but i've been hesitand cos i know a lot of people do.

as for the issue with sense not starting after soft reset i'm not certain if it's fixable. at the moment it's something we may have to live with. (i use cleanram level 3 and have added Manila.exe to the exceptions list) run it a few times a day and it keeps the phone nice and stable.

sms problem...

hi,

i've flashed my diamond with this rom and I'm unable to send or reply to sms...

does anyone else have this problem ?

except this sms issue, the rest ... so far so good - thanks chrisd1a1!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cheyenne076:
Chris,

Some feedback on the RC3 Sense 2.5 build.

I think it runs very well. Fast enough and with good memory to run some programs.

Found 3 issues with this build (some already known..)

1. No Connection Setup wizzard, this causes me te have to configure my KPN NL settings for GPRS/UMTS manually.. Is this by design?

2. SMS seems to be broken. I do receive messages but I think you removed somthing to much here (black screen on sms tab of contact and send button on sms sense page does nothing). SMS number is configured correctly..

3. Sense 2.5 does not always want to start correctly. Manual removal and hard reset required (you explained this before..)..

Thanx for the great work.. This is close supurb :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
damn. correct about the sms issue. sorry folks i missed this.

if you go to all messages on the manila sms tab the send and receive works fine with the windows. i'll post a fix or release a new build with this corrected asap.

i removed connection setup deliberately. the windows one should work fine.

i'll post a cab file that will correct as soon as i get home.

as for the sense not starting on soft reset. i've not been able to correct this but as its stable in general use it's not been a high priority. i'll look into it for the future but atm it's something to live with.

thanks for the feedback folks, i appreciate it

Chris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cheyenne076:
Good work!

Chirs,

Found some more.. :)

1. Regional settings (for me to dutch) do not seem to allow 24hr clock?

2. Timesync with Internet does not seem to work?..

I think it is a good thing the weather stuff is not shown on the home screen by default (speeds things up I think)..

Do you know how to add / find dutch T9 stuff ? On 6.1 I had some cab file that did the trick. And I have run the Energy ROM a few days ago that seems to have several languages included.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
again, thanks for the feedback, i can only fix something if people tell me it's an issue.

the reigional settings are something i've never checked. i'll look into this.

i've always set my clock using device centre when i sync, so again i missed this.

if i can fix these issues without compromising the ram i'll do so.

regards

Chris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
link for connection setup added to second post
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stevesuk:
Hi Chris,

Back using Sense 2.5 RC3 after trying Android for a few days (which is nice, but not stable enough yet).

Apart from the other issues people have found, I noticed that T9 isn't working properly. I think someone posted about this earlier in the thread? Its as if T9 misses the first keypress you make. Not sure that T9 is really an important issue when you have a full onscreen QWERTY keyboard though.

Regarding connection wizard. The Windows mobile connection wizard tells me I have a T-Mobile SIM, but I don't ... I am with Virgin Mobile. They use T-Mobile's network but I'm pretty sure the APN etc. are different. I got round this problem by installing the HTC Network Wizard (which I found a cab somewhere on XDA). I let it run through and configure my settings, and then I uninstalled it.

No other issues to report so far.

Cheers,

Steve.

Keep up the good work man! Been switching rom's quite a bit this last week and this is the best wm6.5 + sense 2.5 for my Diamond.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
anyone getting out of memory warnings with opera 9.7?

i've had this a few times when i've used 9.7 i'm considering changing to 9.5 as i've found it more stable in previous builds. and oppinions? should i leave opera out entirely and let you choose?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stevesuk:
Hi Chris,

Regarding the web browser and Opera:

To be honest, I'm quite happy using the new Internet Explorer that comes with 6.5.x and haven't found the need for Opera. So I'd be very happy if you left it out. Although not perfect, the newer version of Internet Explorer is way better than the older version. I guess it uses less resources than Opera too.

Couple of observations:

1. The Facebook integration with the photo album. When I click through from someone's contact card, it shows a list of all their Facebook albums, but when I actually click through to view an album, none of the thumbnails load. Is this a known issue with that version of the album?

2. Are there some fonts missing? I noticed some applications seem to be using the wrong font.

3. I haven't tested this in RC5 yet, but did you manage to fix the T9 issue?

Other than that, its working really well. I bought a new OEM battery for my Diamond the other week because now we have ROMs like yours, and of course the Android project I don't intend to replace it for some time :)

I guess this why mobile operators/HTC don't bother to upgrade the software in handsets themselves. Because if they did, nobody would buy a new phone.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
lol, know what you mean about the upgrade, half the fun is that we can change the software when we like.

the only way to fix the t9 issue is to roll back the SIP. i'm not considering this at the moment.

glad you mentioned you use IE it was something i was considering removing. (i'll leave it in though as it doesn't impact the ROM.)

as for the album, yes it's known. i've got the photo uploading working but as for viewing i prefer the MS facebook ver 1.2 anyway

i'll leave opera out on the next build. if people have a preference they can pick their own
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drblow:
Hi Chris, Nice ROM mate! :)

I have switched from NRG roms due to the lack of memory and so far so good with yours. I'm not much of a "power user", in fact I only have a few manila tabs open, but with second today running pocketweather aswell I am managing to hold at around 75% memory used - as compared with my similar setup on NRG roms which uses around 90%.

I have had a few issues with Sense not starting after a soft reset, but if I unselect it from the homescreen, reboot and the reselect it everything is fine. A hint for anyone experiencing the same. ;)

Overall though a good, stable rom so far with the best memory useage from Sense 2.5 I have seen. Only thing missing is a taskbar skin ... I know we can install them seperately but I find that the cab installs leave my signal meter blank.

On a slight tangent ... I see you are in the UK. Me too. What radio are you using on 02 and what is your signal like?

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
cheers for the feedback, appreciated.

as for o2, i'm slap in the middle of Leeds so no signal issues (also i work for em so you can guess signal is spot on at work) radio is 1.13.25.24 at the mo, remind me to flash back to 1.17.XXXXXXX as for the taskbar skin i've worked on taking everything out of the rom. my personal build has more apps in it but it impacts on the ram so i don't publish it. same base though.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drblow:
Thanks for the reply, I am also using 1.13.25.24.

I will try out the new version ... after a full day with RC4 I found that sense does not start ever after a soft reset, so when installing a bunch of stuff I just ended up switching it off until I had finished setting the phone up - annoying, but not a show stopper.

Actually, the thing I like most so far is the massive free storage space - I can install the dusk theme (including taskbar) which is well sexy!

Will let you know if there are any issues with RC5.

Keep up the good work dude.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MavCrx:
Hi mate, i tested the RC5, but sense 2.5 refuses to start... and i used mtty bla bla bla! Any ideas to solve this? It also happened with RC4, i'm thinking in not using sense 2.5 anymore!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
lol, did you read post's one and 2?

go to settings>home>items

diasble sense, soft reset settings>home>items then enable sense.

regards

Chris
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MavCrx:
Yeah, it solves for a bit, but if i use the cleaning ram software at level 2 or need to reset the Diamond, it goes back to the same, and this last time not even that solved it, it just refuses to open sense 2.5!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
if you go into cleanram config (windows settings) add manila.exe to the exceptions list.

then disable, soft reset, enable you can then cleanram without impacting sense.

got to admit i've not had the issue over sense not reopening. if i get any further feedback i'll try to duplicate and resolve.

what else have you added to the base?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MavCrx:
Only Tom Tom 7. Did what you said and for now it's working (but i had to do a hard reset first or no more sense...)! Already installed Tom Tom again and so far it's all fine :)

Thanks, your rom's are great!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cheyenne076:
SMS still not working for me..

Hi Chris,

I am running RC4 now (for the whole weekend). Looking good in general but the issue with SMS sending is not solved for me. I cannot send a SMS at all. And Sense seems to be more unstable than before. More issues trying to start it. Will try RC5 this evening.

Keep up the good work, appreciation all over :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drblow:
Hmm. With RC5 I have the sms bug - can't send messages anyway at all. I also have the issue with Sense not loading at restart ever, if I soft reset the phone I have to switch off sense every time I do it or it wont load.

Think I might try the sense 2.1 rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
strange, i've been running 5 without the sense crash.

i've noticed the sms bug again, think i've missed something out (lol) it does work through the windows sms select tho
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] drblow:
Aargh! I got the sms bug on the sense 2.1 version too. I am using mtty of course.

Maybe back to RC4 for now then, sms on manila seemed to work on it.

I did also find that RC5 was pretty slow. When selecting stuff in the calendar tab I noticed a long delay before things would open - like when clicking an appointment in the agenda view, I'd be waiting a good few seconds for the editor to open ... enough to time to go "uurgh" anyway! :)

I did try it from a fresh hard reset with no apps added, and it still seemed slow - but it got worse when I installed the dusk theme, something which hasn't severaly affected performance on some other roms.

Keep it up Chris, some working out of issues is inevitable, but it will be great once the bugs are ironed out to get a good, clean sense rom with good memory useage.
