[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into adding this in the next patch release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
I can release a version with it, sure. My main concern would be lack of RAM in Sense 2.5 ROMs causing "phcanvga.exe" to fail. That is the tool that moves the canvas around so that all the buttons are visible on VGA screens.

I should be putting out 1.13b in a day or two. I'll cook a version with Qilin Canvas as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
The GTX ROM was a test to see how the new theme worked when cooked into the ROM, as opposed to integrated later. Sadly, I think GTX is better installed on the user side currently. There seem to be some bugs left to iron out, so it would be best to be able to remove it if needed.

The WM6.5 lock screen seems to use a lot of RAM. I am considering adding it for future releases, but haven't decided yet. Meanwhile, S2U2 is a great screen lock program, and should work fine.

I hate Manila rotation as well. I'll be making registry CABs to enable, and disable this. I'll see if I can't get something cabbed up today...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
Thanks. That's great. Whilst Sense 2.5 is a memory hog, it can work quite well provided you don't use all the tabs. Disabling music and photos can save a lot of RAM. I've used it with Tachi Canvas without problems, but really missed the program tab. Having seen the Co0kie.Home.Tab at work in the GTX version, I wanted to give it a try.

It would be interesting to hear how many of the 100+ Sense 2.5 users add a phone canvas...

Could it be lack of RAM that is causing Spetkan's problems with Sense 2.1? If lack of RAM does cause phcanvga.exe to fail all that is hidden are the big red and green soft buttons, which aren't really needed as they only duplicate the hardware buttons. Anyway, I'll let you know how it works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spetkan:
It should not be a RAM issue, since I disabled some tabs as a first thing after the flash and actually reduced the pagepool to 10. I have a lot of free ram (around 30%).

About slide to unlock, I can live without it. Actually, I do not miss it at all because I prefer to have more free RAM :)

My problem is also not MTTY related, since I do it always before I flash a new ROM, hard reset too after the flash.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Are you trying to add the new contact through the phone canvas (when receiving a call)? There could be an issue with Qilin with the Sense 2.1 New Contact Card or Contacts backend. If so, we may need to switch to a different dialer.

As for the buttons not being visible, that is a problem with phcanvga.exe not running. Likely, it either did not start properly, or the process died for some reason. Soft reset should restart the process, but it is likely to happen from time to time.

Only real solution to these is for HTC to produce a true VGA phone dialer. Hopefully, this will happen with the release of the HTC Trophy. *fingers crossed*
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
CABs to enable/disable rotation have been added in the second post. You'll need to reboot after installing to get the effect. Enjoy!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] caizhe:
Hello,

I like this basic rom, it's really fast. And I'm currently running the TF3D 2.1. My problem is that I don't quite understand how I can get the dial up. It's not at the Settings> system> advanced setting> phone.

I'm trying to call through the people tabs.

Thanks in advanced.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] macrool:
ur rom with sense 2.5 => daily use, but with android too :) fantastic work, u must now work smth on new black theme, beautiful theme hehe :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spetkan:
Yes, the problem is when you try to save a number from the phone canvas. When you go to menu tab and save a contact neither of the two options (create a new one or add to existing one) are working.

About the position of the receive and reject buttons I think you are right since normally soft reset resolves the issue and it is not such a showstopper.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pyssoo:
1.13a Sense 2.1 with Qilin:

- you can't add a phone number from phone dialer as someone already reported this, I press the "save to contacts" button, I see the "save to contacts" window but nothing happends when i press "yes, create new contact"

- video calling isn't working. When I try to video call nothing is happening then the dialer shuts down, I loose network signal for 2-3 seconds. After that phcanvga.exe is not running anymore and I need to soft reset
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thangkls:
@Rottgrub: Thanks you so much ! Now I'm happy with your rom :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cslzhou:
found the comm manager is still missing from the latest release v1.13a, the only way to access it is from the setting tab then the wireless controll...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] longice:
Hey,

just a couple of questions (sorry if some of them are already answered, but as this is key information I think it should be present in the first post ;) ):

- how much storage is available after flash with sense 2.5 version?

- what languages are uncluded in ezinput?

- why is qilin dialer in all versions except sense 2.5?

- is the htc start menu (1.60) included/will it be in later releases?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
The People Tab, and HTC Contacts functionality require the use of an HTC phone canvas. There are three main HTC canvas that have been ported to VGA: Tachi, Rhodium, and Qilin. The ROMs with Qilin after their names come with the Qilin phone canvas. You can also find the "Tachi" canvas as a CAB in the "Add-ons" download area.

There seems to be an issue with the Qilin canvas and adding contacts after a call at the moment, so just be aware of that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
I have a new Qilin Video Conferencing package I will try to add to the next Qilin releases. I don't have video conferencing abilities with my carrier, so I have no way to test this functionality. I'll see what I can do though...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Hrm. I'll have to look through my kitchen backups and see if anything was different back then...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Which ROM are you using: Sense2.1/2.5, Titanium, TF3D21?

How are you trying to access comm manager, specifically?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
I've been using UC to autoinstall CABs for the last few versions, so I'm not sure exactly how much storage space is free these days. I believe it is around 80MB, but I'll be sure to check for the next release.

The EzInput 2.0 packages have 18 different languages supported. I don't have time to list them all out at the moment (at work), but it seems to cover most of Europe.

Sense 2.5 doesn't need an HTC dialer to function, and needs all the RAM it can get, so I didn't include a version with it. I have had a request for that, so will likely include it in the next version.

No, I don't include the HTC start menu add-on since it just eats more RAM. I will take a look into getting a CAB file for that if you wish to use it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] longice:
No biggie with the HTC start menu, I was just curious! With 18 languages in ezinput that will for sure cover most European! Thanks for the reply, I'll consider flashing tomorrow ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
I was using Tachi phone canvas with 1.11 - I see from an earlier post that you suspect Qilin to be causing this problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Yeah, there is a different contacts backend with Sense 2.5, which is what Qilin is designed to work with. Tachi, and Rhodium canvases are designed to work with Manila and Sense 2.1 contacts suite.

I've tried to update the contacts backend in TF3D/Sense21 to the newest version, but they completely crash when you access the home page call history or people tab. Not sure why.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cslzhou:
sense 2.5, and normally, you can find that comm manager under start menu, for a little quicker to turn on/off wireless..right?

the rom does a good job managing the battery life, but it eats a lot of memory, running around 80% even if i only 5 tabs with manila besides home and setting...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spetkan:
Just an idea:

Can you please change the rilphone to a more up-to-date one e.g. to 1.13.xx.xx. Most of the people here use either 1.13.25.24 radio or newer.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Hrm, I've never actually looked into rilphone. What version is there currently? What does an upgraded rilphone fix, exactly? Curious.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
The icons in start menu are all in their default locations. I don't do any customization of those at all currently. If you go to "Comm Manager" under settings and click and hold, it will pop up a menu "Move to Top" Do that, and you'll have a Comm Manager link on the main start menu page. Enjoy!

VPN L2TP and PPTP?

Hi Rottgrub

The "Basics with Sense 2.1" is very good rom, but i need youd help, about how to select a L2TP or PPTP in this rom, i don't not see this setting in the vpn configuration.

any idea?

tanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
The IPSEC VPN options were removed to save space in current versions. Since there is actually someone out there that needs it, I will re-add them for the next build.

I am currently testing out the new build. It has some major changes, and adds a lot of functionality that was missing in earlier releases. It's slightly larger than earlier ROMs as a result, but I think it's a decent trade-off. A test ROM should be uploaded in the next day or two...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Hi Rottgrub,

I use your ROM with Sense 2.5. Unfortunately the Dialer looks a little bit strange with it's wooden background. How can I get the original HTC dialer?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spetkan:
Please have a look at:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3354857&postcount=13

I am using normally the rilphone 1.13.xx with the 1.13.xx radio, but many people go for 1.15.xx with 1.17.xx radio. For me, the first combination works better and is the one that came with the latest branded HTC Diamond ROMs e.g. German or UK ones.

The rilphone in your ROM is 1.09 or earlier and I suppose it came from the lates official HTC WWE ROM.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
Surely then 1.09 is the the best version to cook into the ROM. Those who are using the stock radio will have the matching rilphone version. Anyone who has installed a different radio should also install the matching rilphone. I use a 1.17 radio and install 1.15 rilphone from a cab. No problems.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spetkan:
Well, all latest 2.10/11 releases are with radio 1.13.xx so it is hard to say that 1.09 version is the best too cook in :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] typolad:
Please consider this a "better late than never" thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boze:
Hi!

I prefer your ROM! (Sense 2.5) I like the fast and stable GUI. I had only Problems with the Battery drain.. I load every Night = 1 Day alive.. (before 1,5 day; very nice, because sometimes i cant load @my girlfriends, when i'm out of home ;D)

One wish: Could you make an short documentation in the first/second post about the differnt GUIs. E.g. i dont know the difference between Sense 2.1 and 2.5. Or i never seen "Titanium" (?) before. Screenshots would be also very nice..

Thanks in advanced

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BB88:
Great ROM. But one thing I found is, the keyboard does not popup everytime when I am in a text field. I need to tab it sometimes to get it popup.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RR33:
use diamondTweak : activate keyboard popup, soft reset and job is done :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AnnihilatorSC:
I concur with this request.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dexterts:
Nice rom!I have only one problem.Album is always working in landscape mode!Any idea how to turn it in portrait???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Thanks! I had actually disabled that behavior, as I find it annoying to have it pop up for every text capable field. I've re-enabled it for the 1.14, since it will be easy enough to set the registry option in Basics UC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Thanks so much! That is exactly the plan for 1.14. I am hoping to include only the stuff that either needs to be cooked in, or applications where CABs aren't readily available. I'm just putting the finishing touches on Basics UC v1.00, which should make it dead easy to do first boot customization.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
Wow, that looks a far better prospect than creating a config.txt file with the possibility of typos etc. Great work.

I have my cabs and reg file sorted and ready to go. Looking forward to 1.14...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ng-gdata:
Hm...could you do some of us a favor and create a German version as well? At least for the 2.5 Sense variant? Love your ROM, but I simply prefer my native language when using my cellphone.

Questions on Basics UC

I have some questions before using Basics UC for the first time with the upcoming release of 1.14.

I know that cabs which require user interaction can't be added this way, but does this also exclude cabs which request a soft reset?

I've managed to find a lot of relevant registry items to add using CeRegEdit to export to file, but I'm still looking for the stocks tab data, WiFi settings and password, timezone and regional settings info. Can anyone please help with these?

I don't think I would trust PimBackup at this point as if the timezone has not been set, it will result in duplicated appointments once Activesync has run.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
Is it possible to automate the transfer of files with Basics UC?

I am thinking of ringtones and events sounds particularly, so if it is possible, it would be nice to be able to set them as defaults as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cslzhou:
thanks, the short cut is created...but any idea about the ram usage, i am experiencing around 80% during the day, and 72-76% at boot up...that is about at least 10% more than you said...beside, if you could make the start menu with 4 columns icon...thanks,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] prismfire:
Adobe Reader LE?

First, thanks for this ROM, Rottgrub. It's the first custom ROM that I tried to update to. I like how it is clean. But may I know where can I get the Adobe Reader LE? It's not in the ROM or am I mistaken?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
Which version are you using?

It's definitely in 1.13a Sense 2.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
I know that there is a cab available for this.

You can find one in the first few posts of Awran5's ROM - Post #3 Cabs - 4 Menu Rows.cab

Co0kie's Home Tab

I am happy to report that Co0kie's Home Tab works really well with this ROM (sense 2.5 only) and I'd like to nominate it for a place in post #3 under Interesting Add-Ons.

I no longer miss the programs tab from sense 2.1 and have also disabled the people tab as it is effectively replaced.

It's easy to configure with CHTEditor - the first step will be to use VGA...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cslzhou:
i have that installed already, and i just thought it will be nice to have it built in the rom, so that we dont have to install it manually, and beside, there is registry value to be updated to change the manila resolution from wvga to vga if anyone having the funny lay out at home tab...another thing, can someone advise the normal ram usage, mine is at 80% regularily with sense 2.5 running 5 home tabs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] uzi2:
With the forthcoming UC, there is no need to build it into the ROM. Just put the cabs and the exported registry settings into the appropriate Recovery folders and it's job done. The settings are so much easier with the editor.

My ram usage is around 75% with 3 quicklink pages and no people tab. People will use it in all different ways, so I don't think there is a normal ram usage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] petrisch:
I tried to use the Co0kie Monster's Home Tab. It works with no more than 75-max80% used RAM for some time. :rolleyes:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vicai:
any news on release date for 1.14 ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Sorry for the delay and lack of communication, folks. Had a real important job interview yesterday. Research and prep for that delayed the 1.14 release a bit. ROM part is pretty much complete, but the UC still needs some tweaking.

I'm thinking about releasing the ROM with an upgradable version of BasicsUC in:

\internel storage\recovery\scripts\BasicsUC.mscr

That way folks can try out different versions of BasicsUC and not have to reflash to a new ROM each time.

Thoughts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vicai:
these days, job is more important. dont worry about the rom !

smart idea. hardly can wait :D

just a quick question ..

i am not able to send mms. is there something i've missed in the posts, or ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
This with Sense2.5? I didn't include Arcsoft with that release since it is supposed to have native MMS support. I'm guessing that the patches to work around some of the Sense 2.5 messaging flaws removed that capability. I'll include Arcsoft MMS in 1.14.

Meanwhile, if you desperately need to, you can try this CAB. Never tried it though, so it might not work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vicai:
yes, sense 2.5

no, thank you .. will not die if not using mms for now :)

will wait for the 1.14, as this would be the more complete rom i have tried.

stable, fast, not much ram usage and stuff ..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BB88:
I'm having a problem with v1.13a (Titanium) with Album rotation. It's fine in portrait, but in when I rotate to landscape, it will become a blank screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
I've decided to remove PIMBackup from the BasicsUC equation, since it really doesn't work well when scripted.

Due to that, I'm rewriting it's functionality directly in Mortscript. Currently, I have a backup script that will backup "pim.vol" (which contains contacts and SMS messages), registry owner information, and user power settings.

Any suggestions for other registry items that should be backed up for automatic restore on flash/hard reset?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] laurmihai8607:
Back to Basic is the best wm 6.5 Rom I ever used. For me is perfect...fast, stable and a lot of free memory.

But I have a little question: what Radio Version is recommendet for this rom? At the moment i'm using 1.00.25.05(i like this version because it fixes the device getting hot issue). Is it goog this version or i need to change?

Thanx!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Likely a problem with Media Toolkit. I'll revert to the earlier version in 1.14, which should fix the issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Thank you so much. I'm glad that the ROM is working for you!

I don't know that there is a perfect radio, honestly. If your radio is working for you, then you are probably okay using it. Basics ROM Version 1.14 and up will be using "rilphone.dll" version 1.13.25.24, which is best matched against Radio 1.13.25.24. This is the version I use on my phone, and I haven't had any problems with heat or battery drain issues.

If you have problems or feel adventurous, I've included the 1.13.25.24 Diamond radio in the Add-ons folder.

Dialer gone... and other issues.

Hi guys,

I am now using TF3D 1.13a version. It was all nice and breezy, and am thinking of settling down on this ROM. However, there are some glitches that I hope someone here would be able to help.

1st Issue:

I attempted to customise some of the things how the phone work. Went and installed Advanced Config and saw the Phone>Phone skin was set as disabled. So I thought it should be "Enable" so I change it. After restart, end up the dialer becomes OS' dialer. Tried to change it back (by setting it to "Disable" and back again and also reset to default) but still the ROM's dialer wouldn't come back.

What I should do (in terms of config - I don't wish to go through the lengthy process of installing my applications from the begining by resetting the ROM)?

Thanks!

2nd Issue:

The calendar tab is marvelous. Until I realise that some of the calendar items i change in phone's outlook calendar is not reflected in the calendar tab no matter how many times i soft reset.

Any workarounds or solutions?

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. Only need to view the calendar with the weather forecast on would be enought. The updated information will come up together with the weather's information.

3rd Issue:

Start>Settings>System>Device Information>Phone Identity & About is not working. I don't mind about the About, but I hope I can use the Phone Identity.

Thanks!

Regards.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spetkan:
1. Advanced Config is a pretty old application and I would use it carefully. I do not know what it changed, but for sure is not compatible with the rom.

3. I noticed these problems and Rottgrub is aware of them. I think you can access the phone identity also through all settings then personal folder and owner information tab
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] prismfire:
Thanks spetkan for replying.

I'll take note on the Advanced Config for the mean time. If really there's no one to direct me to a possible solution, I think I'll just wait for the next release :)

For the phone identity setting, it's different from the one on owner information. Rather, the phone identity is the one used to set device names to be identified by Active Sync and Bluetooth (perhaps other devices as well). There seems to have no other means to update those information except through 3rd party tools. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Rottgrub:
Sounds like you are using one of the Basics's ROMs without Qilin dialer. In that case, you'll need to install an HTC dialer from CAB. I've included several of them in the "Add-ons" downloads section on the front page. Tachi is probably the most stable, but also uses the most memory. Qilin or PyroBob's Canvas can have positioning issues, and Contact issues with anything but Sense 2.5, but they should use less memory.

As for the phone identity, I'm looking into this with 1.14. It's just below finishing BasicsUC on my todo list. Thanks for the bug report!
