[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
Okay folks.. Here's your update:

Work has been constant over the last couple of weeks.. Friday will be my 12th day in a row coming in here, and I haven't been able to spend as much time as I would like on this project..

However...

I've just about finished the package creation app that will allow me to create packages for this ROM, which will be downloaded and installed on the fly.. But I have a couple of issues I'd like to bring up:

There will only be a few packages to start with

I haven't had a chance to test the Manila packages, so they will not be ready with the first release.

Keyboard is default windows keyboard, but a package for the HTC keyboard will be available.

Though I intend on releasing this ROM in multiple languages, the first few releases will be WWE only. (Sorry)

The first release of this ROM will be today, and more details are to come. I have a few tweaks to make this afternoon, and some quick testing, and then I'll post a download link. I'll also be updating the screenshots.

Now is your chance to tell me of any registry tweaks you'd like to see before the first release! Post what you think would be best, and I'll see what I can do to get them added! :)

Keep your eyes peeled! :)

No camera!

Could you fix it ?

Thx in ahead
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hyongbai:
Why not update this rom

This is farely good .

Hope some bugs can be fixed .

Thx
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
This ROM has been updated to 0.2A.

Now.. This technically is not an update as most people would call an update.. I went back to build 21887 of WM because the 6.5.x builds are too buggy for my day to day use.

I added some basic applications to the ROM, including Camera, and some other HTC applications that make using my phone fun. This ROM still has no Manila or Titanium built in.

Please post any bugs you find, and I will try to get to work on them. :) I may release this kitchen in the next few weeks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] richyrich552003:
I like this rom have been looking for something with a lot of free memory as I use sat nav and microsoft voice control for my work and so far this is the best for that, some questions is there a way to change the time format to 24hr don't seem to be able to find setting for that or is there a registry tweak, need to be able to swich off 3g in comm manager and is it ok if I install another dialer so I can video call if these 3 things get sorted this rom is by far the best and fastest for me so far.

cheers and thanks for your hard work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
The 24Hr clock is available in the Time tab of Regional Settings, located in Settings under System. You may need to soft reset after changing Regional Settings.

You should be able to add 3G to the Comm Manager by using Advanced Config, but when I tried it, 3G was grayed out in the comm manager.. Not too sure how to get that working. Any advice? :)

You should be able to install any dialer you want. The only dialer in this ROM is the default dialer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] richyrich552003:
hi thanks for reply got 24hr clock never realised there was more options and had to scroll down silly me have now got set to 24hr thanks, i did a quick search and found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=599643&page=11 post 110 and it seems to work for me hope this works though after install i think it replaced or removed direct push toggle but at least now the 3g toggle is there

cheers and thanks for all your hard work
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
It's my pleasure to assist you.

If you find any more bugs, please post here so I can squash 'em.. And if you have any ideas that could make the ROM faster, feel free to post those too. :)

I think I have the older 3d driver in this ROM.. (Xtrakt doesn't want to open..) Will have to check on that, and see if I can fix that too when I get a chance..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
0.3A released. See post #4 for change log.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mitsi:
Hi Verrigan,

I have tried quite a few roms now and had a go at cooking myself. My cooking skills have resulted in no worthwhile roms so far, so I have resigned myself to using other peoples roms and then modifying them myself with programs like Rom Editor. Using this I have been able to trim some of the fat off other peoples roms, but it really interests me that you are actively trying to reduce the rom size by trimming out as much as possible in the first place.

I am wondering though, why you chose to do this with WM6.5? My experience tells me that WM6.1 has a much smaller footprint and I have found it to be very stable too with considerably less ram usage. My current rom is based on Googy's 3.3 which cruises at about 80Mb free ram and I have a free storage of 257Mb even with CHT, Sense 2.5, Blackberry Connect, Phonex 2.2 plus many other apps and a pagepool of 20Mb. It is based on WM6.1.

Everyone has their own preferences so produce a very clean rom will allow people to have their own apps without duplicating any. For example, I don't like EZInput. I prefer Finger Keyboard. I am not asking you to cook this into your rom (unless you want to!), but what I am saying is that you have stated you have only put the default windows one in. I haven't seen any new roms lately which don't have at least 3 keyboard options in an effort to suit everybody. Also, I don't like the HTC dialer and prefer to use Phonex 2.2 as it has bigger keys that I have skinned to make them more visible in bright daylight conditions. Again, most roms contain the windows dialer and HTC dialer, so I end up with 3 of them!

I very much like your philosophy in rom cooking. Can I ask, do you have any intention to go down the WM6.1 route with Sense 2.5? I would very much like to try that if you would (please)!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mitsi:
Thanks for replying Verrigan, I agree with everything you say! If I may, can I suggest the following (in my laymans terms which I hope you can understand and am sure you will appreciate why I have trouble cooking myself ;)):

Base: WM6.1 (or 6.5 if you really insist) but not 6.5.x as I don't like instability

Remove:

input methods other than the standard Windows default one

HTC dialer, just the Windows one

Bluetooth activesync

All language files except WWE

Any startup splash with a size of more than 10kb

All ringtones except Oldphone

All Alerts except Alarm 3

All sample pictures, videos

Internet sharing

Bluetooth Explorer

Help

Internet Explorer (if it is possible to remove this)

Remote Desktop

HTC Notification Manager

EverythingLandscape

HTC Calculator (what a load of rubbish)

Anything other than the standard WM Taskbar

Add:

Sense 2.5 with Opera 9.7, (but not Twitter or Facebook or leave them in if you prefer, I will then delete them!)

Otherwise, all as your post 4. Everything else I can add myself!!!

I hope you can consider some of these if possible please. If you don't want to add Sense 2.5 because cooking it in in a format to your taste is too time consuming, I wonder if you could just cook it in in it's raw format? :cool:

By the way, how come the internal free memory is only 250Mb after removing everything in Post 4???? I once had a rom with WM6.1 and Manila 2.0 plus some other apps and had 320Mb free. I would have thought that there would be more free than that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] richyrich552003:
i am still using this rom and like it but have started to encounter a problem with microsoft voice control, when i am using igo8 and i push the bluetooth to activate the voice control it is still very slow and sometimes it doesnt respond until i minimize igo8, today it stored up a command for five minutes, is there any solution to this problem can msvc be cooked into the rom if so will this make a difference can you help with any suggestions am going to flash 0.3a rom and see how it goes. am using voice command v1.60.4622.0 english uk version.

thanks for all your hard work and i will test and report anything i find on v 0.3a rom

regards

rich
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
I actually use alarm5.. What if I made a script to download individual image/sound files as you need them?

What do you mean by EverythingLandscape? You want the landscape images gone, or just the ability to go landscape in things like messaging to be off by default?

I honestly thought I got rid of remote desktop... Will have to look at that again.

Help... I thought about getting rid of it.. Am willing to consider it for sure, but there are some things that seem to rely on it.. Will have to do some testing.

Everything else sounds good.. I'm sure I can get rid of Internet Explorer, but I would really rather not because I'm not sure how to get the remote tracker app to use opera to display its agreement.. Will have to look into that..

Rich, thanks for posting.. I'd love to fix any bluetooth issues you come across, so please report your findings whether or not it works with 0.3A.. As for cooking in Voice Control.. I'm not so sure I wanna do that, but if it needs to run as a module, I will consider cooking it in for ya.. Making it a module might speed up its reaction time a bit.

Let me know!

Thanks for replying Verrigan. I'm looking forward to your next release. :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
That looks very interesting. Thanks, Senax. I'll do some research on it, and see how I can use it to better my ROM. :)

Mitsi, I think I have some ideas that you will appreciate.. Not going to have much time to work on it this week, though.. Will hopefully have an update for the ROM some time next week. Will post once I have uploaded the next version.

If anyone is still using this ROM, please post bugs so that I know what needs to be worked on for the next release.. I have already posted some bugs under the change log.. No bug is too minor. If it's doing something it shouldn't be doing, please post the details so I can fix it. :)

This ROM is very easy to use, very grateful!

I'm using Google translator, please forgive
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
I gather that you'd like me to add in Chinese language.. The only WM base I have that is multi-language is the 23541 build.. Can't seem to find any downloads for them anymore.. like they disappeared from the net or something.. (I may just need to continue looking deeper.. Anyone got a good multi-lang 6.5 and 6.5.x build? :))

Anyways.. The 21887 build I have came from the last HTC release for the topaz, and it only has WWE.. If I get my hands on some multi-lang releases, I'd be happy to include multiple languages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wxh5:
Not add Chinese language, but a regional option, I will own to install the Chinese language pack.

I installed the Chinese language pack, some local shows 口口口口, like the Start menu, low battery indicator, a lot of trouble.

I installed the CE-Star2.8R3c, the Regional Options in China's more, but the start menu is still displayed 口口口, I would find the cause.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] miawhere:
Your rom seems slow.

Hi there,

I had installed your rom on my TD2 and it seems to run slow, specially with Spb Mobile Shell and the sense theme for it. Here what I did.

I had installed the official HTC WWE 2.53.405.5 Radio 4.49.25.91 Ship version using the SD card method and clean installed everything. The phone was running fine, with no extra software except the Arabic localization software.

After a few days I saw your rom, downloaded it, hard spl'd the device, installed the rom, installed the Arabic localization. Everything seemed all right but the device did seem a tad slower. I then installed Spb Shell and the Sense theme and the device performs slow. There is a 1-2 second lag between the time I press an icon in spb shell and the time the change happens.

To be quite frank, I was looking for a Rom that did not have the Sense UI because I did not like the lag I was having. But with your Rom and Spb shell installed the lag is greater than sense.

I could be doing something wrong, and open for suggestions to test your Rom further and speed it up.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mitsi:
Hi Verrigan,

Any news on the new rom yet? :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mitsi:
Hi Verrigan,

Did you give up on this project???? :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
Just an FYI for everyone..

I have not given up on this project. I'm just a very busy man.. (I work a full time job and 2 part-time jobs, plus I do a lot of upkeep around my house) and sometimes I just don't feel like messing around with my phone. :)

I've been using 0.3A since the release date, and I'm liking it..

If I can't find the time to put some more work into this very soon, I will probably release the kitchen as it is, and everyone can do as they please with it.

To those of you looking for an update, I apologize for not being able to come through for you. One of these days, I will get back on this project, or I'll just release the kitchen.

Thanks for all of your comments. Once I do have time to get back to this project, I will be sure to check this thread to make sure I include as many requests as are relevant to the intent of this ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
As of this moment, my development on this ROM will be done. I've used this ROM since the 0.3A release in July with minimal problems (after using Advanced Config to tweak the performance a bit).

I'd like to apologize to all of you who were hoping for another update to this ROM, but if you have a look at posts #1 & #2, you should not be too awfully unhappy about it. :)

I am sorry to say that I no longer have the 0.1A kitchen, as I completely restarted with 0.2A, but the 0.3A kitchen has not been modified since the 0.3A release.

Thanks again to everyone who helped test this ROM and who made suggestions for the betterment of this ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mitsi:
Hi Verrigan,

I hope you enjoy your new toy and am sorry you won't be developing this further. I think I share your ethos with rom cooking so am particularly sad that you won't be doing any more roms.

Hopefully someday we will again have the same machine and I can use your roms then.

In the meantime, I hope your Samsung suits you and many thanks for your kitchen.... :):cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Verrigan:
It's always been my goal to provide others with the fruits of my skills, though I really only just started cooking ROMs, so there isn't much skill to speak of there, but hopefully you can pick up where I left off with the kitchen. :)

If you have any troubles with it, or have any questions, feel free to PM me, and I'll try to help you out as best as I can.. Just be warned, I have 3 jobs and a family that I love very much, so I don't spend as much time on the forums as some of our other (better) chefs, so I won't always be able to respond as quickly as you might hope..

That being said, I will likely see a PM before I would see something in this thread.. (I'm still checking it now and then right now, but will likely go strictly to the Captivate forums once I get used to my new phone..) So.. There ya go! :)

Also, nothing was really removed from the kitchen.. Just disabled in the Melissa ROM. You should still be able to add Sense 2.5 (older version) if you like that, and the titanium is there too, just not included. :)

Enjoy playing with it! :D

[HD2 General] orinoco:
Hello all:

I got my HD2 (US version from Telstra, updated ROM from Artemis), and all I can say is that I have not touched my iPhone 3GS in the last 3 weeks.

The HD2 is great, the screen is amazing, and the software, although not as sharp as it could be, ain't bad at all with the sense interface and other tweaks found in this forum.

I'd like to be able to have the option to tap on the list of my calls and have the option of either calling back or texting a previous caller (it only allows me to do this now if the caller is on my contact list). The iPhone allows you to do this in nay case.

The other minor peave is having to slide the lock to get to the screen (I hate that about the iPhone too but there is a hack to get it removed). Is there anyway to either get rid of the slide (or at least just have to tap on it instead of slideing it)?

Awesome forum! Thanks all for your hard work and insight.
[HD2 General] A|ex:
does that mean your willing to sell your iphone as i was looking to get an iphone myself to replace my broken ipod for the car
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you delete (or move) the file windows\lockscreen\LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr then reboot, when you press any hardware button (from sleep) you get no slider, and just an unlock soft button. (see pic)

However, any hardware button will also unlock it so it's not very securely locked.

Give it a try, move teh file elsewhere, test it, if you dont like it just move the file back.
[HD2 General] orinoco:
Alex: thanks for the offer. My wife had dibs on it, and her birthday is coming up.

samsamuel: I tried this, and actually deleted the file completely. However, when I rebooted the HD2, it still comes back with the slide to unlock icon. Weird...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Must be because it is a system file. (Though it isn't a rom file on mine) I use resco to delete it, perhaps the program you use makes a difference?

You could also try copy that file to your pc, open it in notepad, empty it and copy it back? see what a blank file does. (It is after all only layout code)
[HD2 General] MartinXDA:
Pardon my curiosity and the off-topic question, but are you seriously giving your wife an used iphone with 3 weeks of dust on it for her birthday? :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] VolgensBartjes.nl:
Hi,

I'm searching for the official english rom for the touch diamond p3700. when i choose united kingdom on htc site and i enter my serial on the touch diamond page i get the dutch download. when i go to the US site, i can only choose special touch diamonds prom providers, no normal p3700.

The fact is i have sold my phone to an english speaking person here in the netherlands, and he wants it in english. the htc helpdesk tells me to search voor a english language cab on the internet.

Does some have the english rom, or could download it for me with his s/n.

if no one have that, does someone know a translation cab, becouse i cant find that too...

Thanks,
