Next release will have the smaller menu's (just fiddling with the size settings of the graphics now..) and also have the icons fixed!

I dont know about google maps. I use it pretty frequently but I think I have the 3.3 (or something?) release. Dont know anymore because for me it disappeared from marketplace.....

Ive fixed the icons issue in a test build of mine and boy do they look nicer! Much smoother!

HI...

this is very good rom...its faster than my orginal :)

but i have 1 problem...

when i connect my phone to pc via usb/data and when I start copying some files, speed is veeeery slow....25-50 kb/s, usually (with org rom) speed is about 2-8mb/s

any1 else have same problem?

any1 knows solution?

Tnx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Probably related to the activesync problem! As a temporary work-around you can change the connection type in the usb-to-pc settings to Disk Drive.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] r4z0ry:
I have that problem when I connect using data disk type...

max speed is 120kb/s but its just too slow...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
Awesome =) can't wait! though, i have the smoother ones already lol, but for the rest of the changes.

Download latest google maps 4.00 not from marketplace (has 3.3, which works great still) but from here; http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB

Hi nickschot,

I found something like a bug (?). I use your ROM also in landscape mode with my Diamond (Application Flip it) and unfortunately the keyboard will not change in landscape mode also (see attached screenshot).

Hope that helps you to improve your very good ROM!

Maybe a personal hint about the power icon and percentage display ... IMHO it is not a good idea. I personaly prefer the normal icon with the three bars in the little battery. This is for me enough information. To count in 100 steps the energy los of accu makes me nervous all the time :-)

Best regards, extrapurifier
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Hi nickschot,

unfortunately I have to report another bug/problem I have with Google Maps on your ROM. During installation procedure a failure message pops up and it comes also when I try to start Google Maps. Google Maps wont work on my Diamond with your ROM :confused:

Best regards, extrapurifier
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Please dont add Manila to your ROM. there are enough ROMs out with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Manila on it and they provide full storage and RAM. I was looking for a native (more or less) and clean Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for so long and I am very happy to get your exceeding ROM without additional surfaces. Let it please be as it is!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
I am still waiting for a german version or keyboard layout at least kept in suspense :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kimo_ig:
Sorry, but I found your rom not good at all! There were several issues in that rom! The following should clarify my point of view:

1. Scrolling is bad (something maybe has gone wrong with the version of your htc framework). Scroll-bars have no arrows.

2. Rom is almost empty! Some essential applications are missing like 'Adobe Reader'. Free memory is 145Mb:eek:.

3. Rom isn't fast as you mentioned. I've tested it and it isn't fast. Queit laggy sometimes:rolleyes: That's compared to previously flashed real 'fast' roms.

4. Taskbar icons don't look so good, you can use the default smoothed-edge icons!

5. USB syncing is bad! Transfer of 5Mb file can take up to 30 mins on 'Disk Drive' mode!:eek: and 'Activesync' mode doesn't work.

6. I was able to get a sattelite fix after a loooooooooong time! That's not a big issue for me!

7. Theme has missed up some screens, like 'Remove Programs' screen, you'll find some parts of text missing.

On the good side, I found that battery life is so damn good!! It lasted for a day with 25% left. Booting is done real fast! and it doesn't consume a lot of energy. And the new keyboard is good! And I should look for a cab!

I cause NO offense on you, but that's what I've found. You can this as a bug report for your next improved rom:D Maybe I will try it then!

Keep up th hard work!:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
My impressions:

Cant aggree. scrolling works very well. The missing arrwos are compensated by scrollign with fingers on the display directly

... and that is good so. I think the "missing" applications are a characterisitic for a clear ROM. It's on the user to add applications which she/he needs.

I can only agree that for cases of screen rotation (0 - 90 degree angle). This issue is really laggy. Otherwise the rest works fluently, fast.

Cant aggree.

Fully aggree. I have to soft reset the Diamond each time I disconnect disk drive mode.

cant aggree. Quick GPS and TomTom Navigator works well. Satellit reception is as good as with the original HTC ROM and Quick GPS

I can aggree partly because, I prefer more the basic windows Mobile screens. That depends on my need on a really clear Windows Mobile ROM :-)

Aggree

Cant aggree. Reason is the missing landscape mode.

Fully aggree :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Extrapurifier already answered some of the questions but ill add where neccessary :).

1. I havent noticed any slow scrolling (EXCEPT for Media Player which for some reason works extreeeemeeelyyy laggy). The missing arrows are a design decision of the theme maker (Livven). You can add the arrows with Advanced Configuration Tool but they will be "invisible" until you click them. Another option is of course to use the standard theme (which is included in the rom) or another theme of your choice.

2. I might add SOME applications which I think are neccessary, but there wont be a lot because its indeed a clean rom. I will most likely add some but I wanted to start with a very clean rom in the beginning so its easier to rule out bugs and stuff.

3. I havent found any major lag except sometimes when I have connected to the pc.... which is annoying :D. Soft reset is needed. Ill have to look into that issue but I dont have a lot of time right now. Newer build of WM might also fix it (keep in mind all of the 6.5.x builds are experimental). Then again this is of course the first version of my rom so further optimizations WILL be done!

4. Smooth icons for the top bar will be fixed in the next version as stated in the first post!

5. Activesync problem (see 3)

6. Use quickgps! :D You should get a fix within a few seconds.

7. Again the decision of the theme maker (I havent made that stuff :rolleyes:). I or you can however request more buttons or changes to the theme in Livvens thread (see first post for link).

And thank you for your very big bug report :D.

Now extrapurifiers issues. The keyboard indeed doesnt have a landscape layout. If you want that I can only reccomend another keyboard to you because this is an experimental keyboard from microsoft (alpha/beta? who knows). I have included it because its very light and at least usefull compared to the reallllyyyy small wm6.1 6.5 keyboard. I do not yet know how customisable it is so ill have to take a better look at it when I have more time!

I am also planning to add UC/XDA-UC/autorun to the rom so you can install your own cabs. Might add the battery percentage as an addon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
It's definately a rom with a lot of issues, but i like the way it's built and it does work nicely, so i do see a nice future for it. Might be interesting to increase the pagepool a little, since that is probably the cause for some the erratic behaviour. I've also noticed slowdowns in the interface and when taskswitching.

The scrolling does feel different than on other roms, not sure why though and it doesn't bother me much. The camera application is outdated though. Would be nice to have 6.22 or newer on it, instead of 6.00.

I really like the empty rom, prefer to install just what i need, like a different PDF reader. I also had an immediate fix with this rom, like all other roms. No GPS issues for me. Icons will be fixed in next version and yes... theme isn't perfect, but that's caused by these winmobile builds, not the rom.

Best thing about this rom is the lack of keyboard, i really like the ezinput 1.5 keyboard, i find it much better than 2.1 on the diamond and i can install any language i like on it.

If those few things get fixed in next version, i'm happy enough :p there's always room for improvement, but so far so good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Good call on the camera app. I used the one included in the L3v5y kitchen and found it to be quiet buggy. And that last point of yours is exactly why I didnt include EZinput/FingerKeyboard etc. etc. as those keyboards are a lot more resourcehungry than the keyboard I have now while it is still usable.

I also want to get rid of Showcase as its not the most bug-free taskmanager. Will switch immediately to arkswitch (I think it was called) when it has about the same features as Showcase (closing apps by holding etc). The developer of arkswitch told me those are on the to-do list.

OH and I forgot the Google Maps one! Its known that 4.00 doesnt work on all roms! Use 3.3 for the time being! Its only missing the new social app feature Buzz.

And for the speed issue! Build 28217 should be faster than 28205 but I havent had any time to port everything over yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Henkl:
I surely like the cleanness of the rom.. just great. Biggest issue I think is downloading via USB to the internal storage: painfully slow (is there a registry setting to hack this?). All other issue are less with my copy (no problems with scrolling).

Had some problems with Tomtom.. copying over maps (takes a loooong time at 50 kb/s).. but also getting a fix with the gps . When I used the manual settings of "other nmea GPS-receiver" and changes settings manually to com4 and baud rate 9600 the problem was over (but still not as quick fix on gps).

Installing quickgps gave an erro at firstr.. but clicking the error away, quickgps just came up with all other programs :confused: . Downloading sattelites positions did not give any problems..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Installing quickgps? It comes with the ROM!

And I knoooooow about the USB transfer :D! I just dont have the time right now to fix such a huge bug! (probably will be the weekend).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] extrapurifier:
Hi nickschot,

I hope coming builds may include the MS-Keyboard with landscape mode. As I found on the internet, a landscape mode for this kind of keyboard is maybe available. Take a look at this link

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5014110&postcount=8547

http://tamsppc.tamoggemon.com/2009/...-5-build-28002-brings-new-on-screen-keyboard/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Yup seen that one. When I have fixed the activesync issue Ill look into the keyboard. I have extracted it from the 28205 rollup from Da_G so it should be the one. It could be possible that the landscape is just not recognising the landscape (does that make sense? :P).

I have seen many more recent ROM's with the same activesync problem so Ill try to fix (or find a fix in another thread) asap.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] abokamel:
thanks for the GREAT rom, I think the memory usage increasing is just a MUST in all windows mobile roms & phones.

- can any one post a cap with the built in keyboard?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Your welcome! What keyboard do you mean? The one in my rom?

Screenshot of how the ROM is looking at the moment. Notice the smooth icons :D.

Tell me what you think of the slider I have created!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bevoc:
rom is not stable yet

i cant use this release for day to day yet. the new keyboard was good but this rom slows down as the gwes.exe suddenly eats up ram and crashes the phone, i notice that when using sms, or any app that uses the keybooard, the device will either freeze for a while orr totally crash...

keep up the good work. aiting for a stable release. might not bee soon but i like your style.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] abokamel:
@nickschot, I meant the keyboard in the rom 'cause I it's a great one also, I can use it's letters for Arabic.

thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
The keyboard crashes the phone?! How can that be? I have used this ROM for over a month now and never had any crashes! Weird! :P I did however have some lockups occassionally (but not many). Keyboard could be a bit buggy of course because its still a beta one. Hopefully MS will bring out 6.5.x officially soon!

Any more people having this problem?

@abokamel: Ill see what I can do! Will PM you when I have a cab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
New wallpaper added!

For the link see the first post.

Tomorrow I will work on the activesync issue! When thats fixed Ill release the new version of the ROM.

Changelist:

Fixed: Smooth icons in top bar

Fixed: Popup menu size (reduced)

Updated: Simplegloss Theme

Added: New Titanium Slider

Added: Powersaving tweaks

Added: HTC connection setup (run manually from settings -> connections)

Added: T-Back_White_FlnixNOverBattery (new battery percentage meter)

Removed: WMWIDGETS

Removed: ADC (MS connection setup)

Removed: Touch_X_1_percent_battery_LEO

More tomorrow! Stay tuned...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
I'll test the new version when its released. :) Looks great so far though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Yup its almost finished! I think activesync is working (it works for me?) but I am not a power user of the syncing features so Ill see how that works out...

Everything is now preconfigured (calibration/time/date) too and I have removed the welcome screens and tap to continue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Bring it on, I'll tell you if activesync is working! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dysje:
For some added packages for overall usability i would suggest longpress endkey, .net framework 3.5 (many applications use it nowadays, not sure if it's already in the rom), MMS support and the two driver packs.(Neos2007 pack and the ati 3d driver). Maybe even Java and the updated camera :p

Some suggestions, maybe some of them are already in, maybe all of them, or maybe there's a specific reason for them not to be.

I'm looking forward to the new version. Should smooth things over a little for this rom. Been running 1.0 for a bit now and it's pretty good, one of the more smoother roms i've tried before.

Maybe change the default pagepool to 8 or 10MB, 6MB is too low in some cases.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Those all sound like great ideas too me, would be great if you could add them!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
.NET 3.5 and drivers are already in the ROM though Im not sure which are the best drivers to use.

Longpressendkey is a good idea and MMS support will probably be put in. I was actually waiting for someone to ask because I dont know that many people using it :o.

I did find the updated camera (6.22/6.29/6.4??!?! whatever its called people in the thread dont know it either :P) but in what way is it actually better? People in the thread dont report much improvement other than non working flashlight for the touch pro and a sometimes not working touch to focus?

I could add Java but not for this release. Ive seen it causes activesync problems too in the AHEN thread. It will only delay the release further at the moment. Will add it to the to-do list though!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Excellent! I always use BSBTweak 1.6 on pretty much all of the ROMS I flash, not saying you should add it but it's a great tweaker!

Oh and can you please release it now? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Very very soon! I just have to add LongPressEndKey and configure LongPressSendKey (which was already in there but linked to nothing, you can configure from settings).

Expect it within 3 hours or so!

edit: oh and should I remove the startup animation? It will boot a little faster that way..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Depends on how nice they look, I always find it makes it look professional, but a faster boot time is great...hard choices!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
And we have lift off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATLAS 1.10 has been released. First post has been updated with the new links & changes.

Please report all bugs and enjoy the ROM!

NOTE: Everything in this ROM is now pre-configured. This includes: Time, Timezone, Date, Calibration (including highest sensitivity possible).

At first & second boot the ROM might feel slow! This is due to stuff being configured and the HTC connectionsetup loading! If you dont get the popup be sure to go to settings -> connections -> connection setup and download your settings! Use Modaco NoData to make sure your data connection wont be used when you dont want it to be used.

EDIT: Connection Setup should automatically popup after 2nd boot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Flashing now!! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Tell me your experience :)!

I now started working on a NLD version of the ROM. If that is succesfull I will port more languages.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
So far its great! Super fast and it looks great! What I noticed is that the phone looses connection to my mobile network here and there, it finds it again after a while but you know, it ain't right!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
With mobile network you mean your phone connection (gprs or 3g)? Or the wi-fi?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cz71:
wifi, makes me even rom

otherwise super and look forward to the Czech ce
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
The reception of the wi-fi/other parts mostly depends on the radio you use.

Also I have ported the NLD already. Some bugs with it but I will try to sort them out... more languages coming..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
GPRS, but after I force the band to GSM in the phone settings menu it seems to not disconnect anymore.

EDIT: The version of marketplace boot that is in the ROM didn't work for me mate, I was able to get it working by installing the version that I downloaded directly from Microsoft.

Also Google Maps 4.0 still doesn't work :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cz71:
change radio from 1.09.25.23 to connect wifi 1.11.25.1 one last time, making each and also to change thema potential link?

I apologize for the language :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Thats weird because I havent changed marketplace. Its just a small program that downloads the full version directly from microsoft. Were you connected with wifi?

I will start looking into google maps now. :D

No worries but I dont fully understand what you mean. Could you type it again but then in Czech? Ill put it in google translate.

You want to have another theme? There are many! Just search for 6.5.x theme. (like CondorGT). There are also other color versions of the current theme included and the default 6.5.x theme by microsoft. You can also go to Livven's thread for more customizations of his theme (other tool/taskbar, selectors, buttons etc.).

EDIT: Google Maps is most likely not fully compatible with COM8 builds (like mine). I am now testing to see if it works with a newer build. Else I might have to switch to COM3 :(.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatihbir:
Marketplace is downloading and installing fine for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Good good :D.

And how is activesync?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
Yeah I was connected to WIFI. It would download fine but the installation was unsuccesful. I had to hard reset last night (not cause of the ROM, i made a mistake during installation of swype and ezinput :D ) so I'll test it again.

So Google Maps 4.0 won't work at all? Hmmm, lets see if we can get it working anyways :D

Haven't test Activesync yet as I formatted my PC yesterday and to transfer files I just use the removable disc mode :P But I'll test it soon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatihbir:
just fine!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
Ahhhh great activesync is working :D. Ill update the start post.

I have googled a bit for the error Google Earth it gives. Google says they do not support custom roms so they wont fix it....

Im gonna see if I can get a working youtube app now!

EDIT: and I also found out something handy for the keyboard (by accident)! If you want capital letters put your finger on the letter and slide up! No need for shift anymore :D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fylky:
Please Titanium Weather import, Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
You can use Home Screen Customizer from Marketplace to do that! I'll check if its possible to change the favourites tab (who uses that anyway) into the weather tab for the next release!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] abokamel:
GREAT work nickschot, just smoother than v.1, keep going that way.

a little reminder of the keyboard's cab file.

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
SORRY :o Thought of you, forgot, thought of you again, forgot again :D.

I have attached it to this post. Not sure if it works though! Havent tested.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickschot:
No worries :D.

Anyone has some good ideas for the new version other than my planned features?

Or some bugs to splat :D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Brav0:
To be honest...no. :D

Everythings working great!!

Maybe just a few things like Titanium weather included.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] abokamel:
Dear nickschot, I have the following:

- Bug:

the usb connection chooser should launch after plug in the usb cable [it doesn't]

- Request 'wishes':

- put Arkswich instead of the current task manager, cause it's not so good with the most roms I tested.

- put the old internet explorer or remove it completely and replace with Opera 9.5 'the most stable version of opera'.

- put the old snooze style for alarms.

- have you tried OPNMARKET?, home screen customizer? [deserve a try]

- put office 2010 instead of the current version.

- there's a battery meter called 'SEx1_bat_enhancer_xperia', it's wonderful.

If you want some sources please PM me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fatihbir:
I prefer to install Home Screen Customizer for weather via MarketPlace.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ddhuans:
How about battery life when using this ROM?
