Hi nick,

1.) Thank you very much for your ROM and the effort you put in ... :D

2.) The USB-Bug is fixed. Via ActiveSync as well as USB-Disk Drive. :)

3.) Google Maps 4 wont work :p

4.) I have no issues with HSDPA/UMTS/GPRS/GSM/GPS connections. Everything works pretty fine :)

5.) Automatic synchronisation of clock and date wont work stable. Sometimes its synchronised and sometimes not. Today in the morning the clock was more than 2 hours behind and it doesnt get synchronised even after 3 reboots.

6.) Screen alignement doesnt fit. My cursor is about 3mm to high.

Likes:

- The more or less cleanless of a native Windows Mobile

- High performance (I changed Page Pool to 12MB)

- 3 Items Startmenu. I think the Diamond Display is to small for more than 3 items in a row

Dislikes:

- Addition of more tools like HTC Connections Wizard. I like the cleanless and this is/was the main reason for that ROM

- Please dont even think about COM downgrading only for working of a last Google Maps release. Version 3.0 or 3.3 is working and offers all necessary features.

- Please also dont think about changing Titanium start screen (change favorites to weather). Everyone can do that self.

- Missing MSN Widgets! I used MSN weather very often and unfortunately its not working with ROM version 1.1 :(

- The new slider (I mean the thing on titanium start screen which you can move up and down to select). I think the old one was looking more elegant (is that right english?) :(

I think the ROM will be a fine solution for me if the features and apps from Version 1.0 will be and the USB-Bug is fixed.

What I am looking for is: A clean Windows Mobile ROM. Everytime up to date with newest Microsoft versions :-)

Best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Id say its pretty good! A few pages back theres a comment about it.

Ok let me answer (most of) them :D.

Bug: seen that one. 1.0 also had this. Will see if its fixable!

1 I am waiting for Arswitch to release a version with the option to close a program by holding the X button for a few seconds. I can try to see if theres another way of doing that so I can include arkswitch already.

2 I dont know how 'removable' internet explorer is because its most likely integrated into other programs too (like mail). Probably wont include Opera by default (did attach a cab of 9.5) because many people have their own preferences for the web browser (like 10, 9.7, 9.5 or even a specific build of those).

3 Dont know whats the difference but ill check (havent had my Diamond for too long :o).

4 I have tried both of them though I dont know if its possible to get a cab for home screen customizer. Opnmarket is nice but probably not used by most people so I dont think it will be included by default.

5 Good possibility!

6 Ill check it out! (and PM me source, couldnt find it :rolleyes:).

Thank you for your feedback! :cool:

1. No worries :D thats what Im here for :D.

2. Uhu!

3. yep.... sux.... will keep an eye on it!

4. Good!

5. Weird! I havent seen any quirks with it yet but will keep an eye on it! Might include only the time setup and put sync off again. In the meantime you can switch it off with Advanced Config (which you probably knew already ;)).

6. I tried to align it as good as possible but of course there will be minor differences between our lovely Diamonds too (or maybe I didnt calibrate it that well :(). For now you can re-calibrate the screen from the settings. Use the iTouch tweak afterwards to get the high sensitivity back! (if you like it of course).

For the other issues. I have included the HTC connection setup because microsofts wasnt working! I am trying to include as less HTC programs as possible though. I can however make it so that it doesnt automatically popup and annoy you. Or include it as a separate cab... But I dont want too much separate cabs to look after :p.

I will include widgets again with the next release! (next weekend I guess). Didnt really know what they were for so I removed them. If you really want them now I can make a new build for you :)!

Titanium slider.. yes thats of course a personal preference. I am going to tweak my own a little bit further but can make a cab with the original .dll for those who want the original slider :D. You can also put the .dll in the windows folder yourself (but right now I dont have time to upload it).

And that is exactly what I'm trying to do :D:D:D:D.

PS. I will update the first post with new bugs etc. later today. No time!

New default keyboard ?

Can I disable the new default keyboard. I don't find it comfortable, nor useful.I prefer the old one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
The original HTC one? (EZinput) Its not included in the ROM because there are many different versions. You will have to install it separately and it will automatically disable the new microsoft keyboard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ddhuans:
Sorry, I was search before ask but I found nothing 'bout that.

I was flash ur ROM, that is a perfect 6.5 ROM I ever used.

Thank you very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
No need for any sorry! Its just so you see other peoples view on the battery time too.

And thank you for the compliment :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
I like Show case and it's pretty functional :)

I think people who can flash their Diamonds with new ROMs have also the ability to add apps on their own :D

Dude, your ROM is the best I have found here during the last years. I am fighting for the cleanness :D

Today morning ti was the first time this incident occured. Maybe its also a bug by my mobile operator. I think Windows Mobile get's local time by the basic transmitter station. I will investigate that ...

It's not really a matter. I did screen calibration manually after flashing. So you could let it be as it is :)

Not really an issue. It's very comfortable to get the Diamond parameterised automaticaly. I did it also with the wizard. But on the other hand I can do that also manually and I am very, very affraid that this cute, clean ROM get overloaded as we know from other ROMs here :eek: :eek:

Fully agree! In case of doubt, put into ROM :rolleyes:

No problem. I am waiting eagerly for the next release! I have to thank you for considering my request ;)

If you may could provide me the DLL-File with a hint where I have to store it, it would be a pleasure for me. No need for additional effort :)

Nick, very, very good work :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Showcase can be buggy at times. Will check out Arkswitch when it fullfills my need anyway so Ill see when that time comes.

The clock indeed gets synchronized through the provider.

DLL is attached.

Shut down titanium -> copy with Total Commander/Resco Explorer to Windows folder-> start titanium. Should work :D.

And thank you too for the compliments ;). Dont worry about the ROM getting too bloated. It wont :D.

edit: and what do you guys think of a new icon set? (and any preferences for those?)

edit2: maybe these? Yeayea iPhone like, I know :p. But they look pretty crisp!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Tryed it with File Explorer and Total Commander. It won't work. The DLL-File's attribute in the Windows directory is "read only". Unfortunately I can't change it and in succession I can't overwrite either delete it. I don't have the permission therefore because it's a "ROM-File". Argh...

Now I am clueless ... :confused:

It's perfect :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
:eek: No eIphone-style please :eek: Windows mobile style is more cool :cool:

:rolleyes: Ok, it's never cooler than eIphone but it's Windows :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Beuhhh... you did it with Total Commander right? And with Titanium off? Then it should work! (Thats the way I tested my new slider. Reflashing takes too much time).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] samy.3660:
Hi,

Nice rom, how much ram are you getting with 12mb pagepool??

I have 48 mb ram.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
I deactivated in "Settings, Home" the "items appear on the home" ""Windows default". The Titanium screen disappeared. After that I did a softreset, the Diamond started with blank, Windows screen. After that I started Total Commander and selected Windows\bronzeres.dll. In the Context menu I deselcted "read only". But, there is also another attribute called "in ROM" which is gray and not deselectable ... I clicked OK but the file's attributes were not changed!? I am clueless :confused:

I have also a bug-report for you. On my Diamond the USB screen doesn't appears when I connect to PC. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Thats about right with a 12MB pagepool, yes.

You should just move the dll I gave you to the windows folder with Total Commander with Titanium powered down. Should really work :confused:. Dont have time to try it myself atm. If you did not succeed by tomorrow I will try it myself ;).

I know that bug :( very weird because it does work on COM3/5 builds (23xxx). Maybe a new build fixes it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] r4z0ry:
Is there any way to backup my connection settings (3g...)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
I'm a bit late with responding, but basicly the camera thing fixes touch sensitivity on diamond, which usually doesn't work, but with the new version it does. Also it works a bit smoother and quicker when saving files and it starts quicker.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Hi Nick,

i got it, with an unbelievable workaround :D I installed Mocha FTP Server on the Mobile Phone and accessed it via WiFi. than I was able to change the permission attributes and overwirte it. A lot of work for a little slider, isn't it :) Thank you for your support and patience ;)

Don't worry. It's a minority against the very good ROM you did. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
I don't think it's a bug. you removed it, isn't it? :)

For the clock-sync issue. Now it works and I think it was a problem of my mobile operator :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Feature request

Hi Nick,

I have something like a feature request. Hoppefully I am not annoying to you :rolleyes:

Would it be possible to change the screen which appears after pressing the hardware Buttons?

It would be a nice idea, that when the "Back"-Button is pressed, the Titanium screen appears. And when the "Home"-Button is pressed, the Start menu appears. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Maybe Sprite Backup (you get on cd with diamond) can do that?

I did find a thread with it but I lost my bookmarks today... :mad: Could you send a link via PM?

Haha :p nice job :D.

I did remove HTC's popup program but thats basically a skin for the normal one. It never pop-upped for me so I removed it (does work with COM3 :confused:). Or did it popup for you?

Im looking into the hardware buttons but shouldnt the home button go to titanium? (HOME?;))
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Cant remember ... :confused: But I thought that the removed thing was only something like a skin. However, now nothing pops what should pop :cool:

Of course ... but if you press the Back-Button the Titanium screen appears also. Two buttons refer to the same screen. I think here is room for improvement :D

I know thats out of the norm and will confus people a little bit. But when I am driving, I have the Diamond in landscape putted in the car holder. The streets in Austria are sometimes very potholed and so it becomes more easier to come to the start menu.

But it's not so important as the MSN widgets ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Yes yes widgets :P. Ill try to release a new version friday/saturday (if there are critical things im trying to fix it within a week).

Afterwards please tell me how the msn widgets work XD.

I think that after 1.2 its pretty bug free and stable and stuff so ill try to improve ram usage etc. for future versions. That may take a while though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Hi Nick,

I truly do not know how MSN Widgets works. There are apps in the Windows Mobile Marketplace inter alia MSN weather. I like that app because with it you can get an overview of weather situation at different places. In my freetime I am para gliding and therefore a distributed weather forecast could be helpful. With ROM 1.0 it was instalable from Marketplace but with ROM 1.10 its defunct.

:D Yeah perfect :D But I hope you will get feedback about your ROM also from other users here. It should not become our personal ROM :rolleyes:

EZ Input Keyboard

Hi,

I'm liking your ROM since I installed it yesterday. However, I'm a big fan of the original EZ input keyboard that comes with the stock ROM for the Touch Diamond. Is there anyway of having this input method using this ROM here?

Regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
You have to download and install it.

Another Keyboard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501434
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
He's not looking for those, and I can completely understand why, as i hate both of those keyboards aswell. They're slow, don't work with live messenger and wreck the popup menu for keyboard selection.

I've been running the old 1.5 keyboard on this rom now for a while, it works a LOT better and uses less memory somehow. You can find it here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426281

And it works without any issues at all, very smooooth.

To add: I changed the background and now the bottom bar and the new slider look really stupid, i'd prefer to have them back the way they were heh.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sbrouf:
nice ROM ! <3

Hi,

thanks a lot for your great work on this rom...

I have a little question.. would it be possible to make a french version of this rom?

what do you need for making this? I could maybe help you to get some files or check the cooked rom etc...

anyway thanks for your work :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
The original is indeed EZinput 1.5.

I have added some blur & rounded corners to the wallpapers to make the bars look nice. I can edit your wallpaper if you like? (pm it!). Next version will probably be released as two versions with original slider & new slider (will have some edits to make it a bit more translucent).

Thank you :D:D

After the next release I will try to further explore how to make a stable language port. I can already port the UI etc. pretty easily but most of the OEM programs (comm manager, wifi manager, sim manager etc.) need to be translated separately (or taken from a translated kitchen, maybe yozgatg's).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
I just installed the normal bottom bar and the bronzeres thingy you posted.

Now i have;

Your camera on 1.10 does seem to work better, however, there's two new versions. One should work without issues, this would be; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559985

And then there's the "newer" thing that nobody seems to have tried on diamond yet. Found here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=429621

6.22 is most used, should be safest bet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sbrouf:
if you need help for translating a program and you give me a txt,xml or whatever file to translate, i could help you with pleasure! =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Those programs have to be translated with a resource editor (like PE explorer).

@dysje: can you send me that wallpaper? Looks pretty nice. Its probably a bit too dark for my slider thats why it wont look that nice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
I borrowed it from athena rom i used for a while, couldn't get used to sense memory usage so i'm on this one now :p

The link to the wallpaper is here; http://www.4shared.com/file/167022189/a058402a/Wallpaper.html

Also, i have changed the width of the scrollbars, looks a bit different now. Possible through advanced config. Maybe it's even better to completely remove them, not sure yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
How did you get the bronzeres.dll copied on the device? Didn't you get problems with "Read only" Attributes?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
You get that error because the file is in use, turn off titanium first before copying the bronzeres.dll file to windows folder.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Release 1.15 will be a small one (tomorrow).

Changelist:

-Added: WMwidgets

-Added: Face down mute

-Added: Probably new camera (havent tested yet)

-Added: new wallpaper(s)

-Updated: slider

-some more?

Release will have two versions. One with custom slider and one with the ms default.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
I am not sure, that this is the real reason for my "Attribute" Problem. Because I already deactivated Titanium in Settings, Homescreen. :rolleyes:

Yes your situation is a bit strange. For me it works too!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Bad news. Release will have to be delayed :(. Too busy with other stuff. Expect it max. friday! Office 2010 will be added.

Ill also look into Google Earth. Any others experiencing the same with 3.3?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Just release when its ready mate, I will be flashing!! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
You can use Flip IT. I use it for about one year and can recommend it anyway. Works fine, is easy to config and rotates each application you want (see Attachments).

I had at beginning also the issue with wallpaper but fixed it very easily. You have to choose a wallpaper with resoultion 640x640. Use the Windows Mobile App "Pictures & Videos" to select your prefered picture and click "Menu / Set as Home Background...". Now you can define which part of the wallpaper will appear in portrait mode. Switching to landscape means that the upper part will be used for wallpaper. Take a look at the attached screen shots.

Nick, if you really think about featuring landscape mode it would be nice if the startmenu could habe in portrait mode 3 icons per row and in landscape 4 icons per row :) But! I recommend that Flip It or another Screen-Rotation App should be part of the ROM. Everyone who wants to rotate can install it himself like I did! The ROM should be as native as it will be possible.

SMS Freeze

Hi,

First thanks for this clean rom which would be very nice if it wasn't freezing 3 to 5 times a day.

As some other users said, there seems to be a huge problem with SMS reading.

I was using 1.0 version since the day you posted it and decided to make a clean install of 1.10 after formating with MTTY because the freeze became extremely annoying.

Is there anything you can recommand to fix this ?

I just added Windows Live, updated Marketplace to install Microsoft My Phone.

Thanks again for your work
