SMS no contacts in contact list

Many thanks to the Cook.

This is one of the best 6.5 ROM's out there, it's very clean, fast and stable, and very friendly with the battery, mine last for ~3 days with Wi-Fi and 3G disabled.

I am using the ROM for 5 days now and I only have one problem with it, when I am writing an SMS, when i press MENU>ADD RECIPIENT, no contacts appear on the list. So, anyone know how can I fix this, I've seen this bug on other builds and searched the forum for a solution but no success so far.

Hope this can be fixed, it's not a major bug but it's annoying and it's the only thing separating this ROM from a near perfect port of WM6.5 on HTC Diamond.

I installed with MTTY/hard reset etc, so I don't think this is the problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deckoff:
It is a HTC messages bug, as far as I know, it was answered somewhere... Start typing the reciever's name in to: box, and a list will appear :)

Youtube choppy?

Has anyone else noticed that youtube runs slow and choppy with this ROM? Does anyone know why this is? :confused:

Also landscape in the photo and music tabs does not go full screen properly like it should. :(

Otherwise I'm lovin the speed! :cool: How'd you get Sense 2.5 so fast anyway? I've tried ROM building and never got it as fast as yours! :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] umairali:
awesome rom...love it. its fast and stable but the manilla is incomplete....

cant live without twitter and the internet tab....

plz post a new version with the complete manilla.

looking forward!!!

Hello.

I'm a newbie when it comes to flashing the ROM (never done it so far) but it is time and I would like to have a 6.5.x with Sense 2.5 so I have a question:

Can I even dream about running a GPS software (Garmin, to be exact) ? I think I found an info somewhere that it requires 16MB of RAM to work, not sure if that is correct. One of the reasons I ask this here is because I am under the impression that this is the most RAM hungry ROM that suits my needs (due to trying to keep the original HTC look) so if the GPS works here it will work on the others as well. :)

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
Running a program which requires 16MB on Sense 2.5 is not possible. Dont ever even dream about. :o It is simply non-existent. :cool: However, you can temporarily disable Sense and that program. You can even run that program with Titanium UI on. This is not a RAM hungry ROM. It is only need a lot of RAM when you use Sense. That's it. Remember sense is not designed for diamond device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
ROM with good battery or not is usually an illusion. Battery Draining fast or not depends on the radio you are using and the condition of the battery. The ROM is an OS with drivers and necessary software. It will not overload your device and make it hot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tipkaros:
Thanks for your reply! If I try this ROM i will report back with my impressions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tipkaros:
I've installed your ROM and so far everything is working perfectly! I didn't do MTTY, couldn't get the damn drivers to install properly even though I followed that sticky "how to" word for word. However I've never flashed before (I still had the factory ROM in the phone) so I don't think there were much bad files in there.

I've disabled Stocks and Music tabs and upon boot I have 27MB of RAM free which quickly goes down to 24MB. After a while of being in stand-by it drops down to 21MB and after slight usage to 17MB. After some more usage it goes down to 15.5MB and usually stays there or slowly drops to 13.5MB. Only if I push it it goes down to 9MB or even 5MB on one occasion. What I like quite a lot is that my GPS requires around 14.5MB to work so most of the time I can use it or if there isn't enough free memory I can just reset the device without messing around with Titanium. Oh and I'm sad to see that cleanRAM doesn't really do anything even on level 3 cleaning.

Two minor (and not really important) issues:

1) After I get the "not enough free memory" - Arkswitch doesn't respond to touching the taskbar, the only way is to click the start button and start it from the programs list.

2) When turned on, the "tilt sensor" option in galarm 2.5 - bugs it up. If I disable tilt sensor everything works fine, it's just that I got used to that feature of galarm so I'm sad to stop using it.

Two questions for the end:

1) Is there any need to mess around the "Performances" part of Advanced Config 3.3 ? I'm talking about setting the "File system cache size", "File system filter cache" and "Glyph cache" to the "advised" settings.

2) If I install that cab from the first post, the one that reverts HTC message to default Windows SMS manager - will that still be threaded like in tflo3d on wm6.1 ?

Thanks for this excellent ROM!

Oh dude... I have the same problem as you see I asked this very question in the previous page...I haven't done MTTY too and I'm seriously considering formating my device with MTTY cuz it is a real mess and having a cheesy runnig phone is not good at all....but if you guys have any solucions to that we'll be happy to hear them out....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tipkaros:
Well I don't really think it has much to do with mtty, I think it is just the way it is. Someone before already wrote that he has 25MB free on boot and 15MB free after a day of use so I guess it is just normal. I experienced similar issues even on my stock ROM (where the free memory dropped from 45MB on boot to 20MB after a couple of days) but then I would just use cleanRAM which would free up RAM back to 40MB. Unfortunately, on this ROM cleanRAM doesn't seem to free up more than 1MB even though it has only like 9MB left. I think it's just the way it is and if we want Sense we are going to have to live with soft reseting every couple of days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deckoff:
With this same ROM with sense 2.5 turned on, (contacts,messages and calendar turned on only) I manage to run Garmin 5.00.20wp and iGo 8.3. Garmin actually worked for me for city navigation-bout 7 kms, without a problem...

I have the memory leakage problem too... and to be honest, I have a similar problem with my HD2(stock ROM), although I have to do soft-rest more seldom( more free RAM, I guess). I think it is sense 2.5 problem , but I am only guessing.

To sum it up - best custom ROM I ever tried, perfectly suited for my test and needs...

Two minor bugs - HTC messaging add recipient, and default WM 6.5.3 contact screen, in picture and name section, the today wallpaper is showing beneath it, but not a big annoyance, too :)

PS. Satus, which radio do you use????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
Your guess is correct. It is Sense problem. Memory leak happens especially when you have a lot of pictures or music. So if you have picture or music tab on, they consume at least 5MB each. Therefore, cleanRAM doesn't help because Sense use and need to use that amount of memory.

HTC Message bug is extremely hard to fix because there is no source code to modify.

About today picture shown in default contact wm 6.5.5. I think it is a feature that Mr. Microsoft put in, not a bug.

I uses stock radio 1.00.25.08 if I remember correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Tipkaros:
Satus, would you please answer to this:

"Is there any need to mess around the "Performances" part of Advanced Config 3.3 ? I'm talking about setting the "File system cache size", "File system filter cache" and "Glyph cache" to the "advised" settings."

thanx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
There is no need to tweak these settings. The ROM Sys is running stable and fast. However, if you think there is a need to further tweak the system, you can do so. :)

Thx

I tried EZinput 2.1 but don't work. Is it already installed?

And by other language, I meant a French dictionary for the keyboard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
1) MTTY will solve that problem. EZinput is installed.

2) To my knowledge, there is no French support for this ROM. Please find a French Keyboard then install.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hema.:
hi satus ...

how can i disable the dialer and back 2 the WM one ??

and disable vibration from EZinput ??

thnxx :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dunlopkr:
Disable the Virtual Keyboard Vibration

The vibration when typing on the virtual keyboard bothered me too. If you have a registry editor then you can change the value of

hklm\software\htc\phone\phoneextendsetting\keypadvibration to 0 and restart you phone.

Cheers,

dunlopkr
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
You can also disable keypad vibration by simply go to Input in control panel

then use options to turn off the vibration

System wide vibration can be turned off in Sense Settings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dunlopkr:
Input in control panel did not work

I tried disabling the vibration from Input in the control panel and it did not work. I am using your R3.0a ROM with Titanium.

when can we expect a new version with the full manilla and hopefully cookie home tab cooked in....cant wait for it!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
Full Manila 2.5 with WM 6.5.5 is not possible. It will cause memory issue and crashing everywhere. So, it is only possible with reduced edition.

Next ROM release will focus on addressing Diamond functionality such as bring back the D-pad scroll wheel support for most application (for example: you can scroll titanium, zoom in zoom out pictures, scroll internet explorer) and D-pad gesture launching (launch application by swiping finger on D-pad), etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] umairali:
check out NRGZ28 rom its has full manilla, windows mobile 6.5.5 as well as cookie home tab and its boots so fast and never crashes....must take a look at it....hoping you will consider my suggestion in your future rom!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] satus:
Don't trust the advertising. I checked that thread already many people complain about memory went up to 99% consumption. As a ROM chef, I know very clear how Sense 2.5 consumes memory and what type of services needed and what is not needed. Remember all chefs using the same version of 2.5 and services. Those chefs who are clever can reduce RAM consumption by tweaking the system. It is like cooking secret.

Of course, I will test the new Sense 2.5 (build for lower hardware) again. The last time I used it. It is even worse than the Sense 2.5 which I used for 3.0a Reloaded Version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eradorius:
Sense 2.1

I think it would be better idea to create ROM with Sense 2.1 because 2.5 is too heavy for normal using (only htc menus used in other programs take about 2-3 MB). Also there isnt any good wm6.5.5 | sense 2.1 ROM.

ROM on Titanium is running fast and stable but after a while when I turn on whole device i get notification that bluetooth is on (but it isnt) and i cannot close it (left softkey is showing notification, and it shows in notification menu). I did MTTY.

EDIT

I noticed also 2 issues with Tetter.

1) It crashes after while - you have to disable tetter in Menu\Settings\System\G-config (rotated apps)

2) Vibrations when ball hits wall are too strong (they arent like ball hitting wall), so I installed Tettet from HERE (post #3), and its working like original Tetter from diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aca30:
Sense 2.1

So any chances for Sense 2.1 ROM...?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Eradorius:
*

I tested both sense 2.1 and sense 2.5 in satus roms (2.1 on 2.7b) and RAM usage is the same (I was using before Don Salari clean ROM and Sense doesn't have few things (new menus, email creator and few others).

Some tweaks which I'm using (and I have 18 -16 MB free after a day of usage):

- change dialer to the original WM

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\enabled = 0

- change htc menus to original WM:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\CUIHandler = 0

Tabs: Text, Mail, Calendar, Weather

I have a Linux server running at my home that I use mostly for file storage among other things (like an Asterisk PBX). I keep ALL of my code on my server so that I can get to it from anywhere. That being said, I use MinGW32CE (part of the CeGCC Cross Compiler) to compile my native apps. So since I can build my apps on my Linux server, I wanted to figure out how to build the CAB installer on the server ... And here it is:

Install WINE

Download the Microsoft Cabinet Software Development Kit

Download CABWIZ (Its included in QuickCAB). Copy CABWIZ.EXE and CABWIZ.DDF to a new folder.

Extract MAKECAB.EXE from cabsdk.exe, rename it to all lower case and put it in the same folder

Create your cabwiz INF file (See MSDN CABWIZ Information File). For SourceDisksNames path, use .

Run CABWIZ using the following syntax: wine cabwiz.exe appname.inf /compress

I've just replaced my old laptop with a new one, I figured I will sync my contacts from the phone to the new laptop and everything will be fine.

I went into ActiveSync and deleted the Sync source (old laptop), planning to create a new one for the new laptop. However as soon as I deleted the sync source, all my contacts disappeared. I didn't know that this will happen.

I don't have my old laptop anymore. Is there any way to recover the contacts?

Thank you

I got mt HTC Capacitive stylus the other day, how the hell are you supposed to use it? It is as fat as my finger with a very loose fitting piece of plastic at the business end that has a red dot in the centre of it.

I have the dagi version which by all reports is pretty much the same (£15ish for me though)... its a bit tricky and takes a bit of getting used to and I dont know why they need the whole of that plastic bit at the end as it seems to work ok with just a small part of it... but after some playing with it I find its very accurate and I can write chinese characters much easier and select text for copy and paste or to get a pop up definition much easier too... oh and I keep mine in my pocket and so far its proved to be fairly robust...

Hi,

Well, to keep it short, I've been told by a friend in china that he can get me a htc hd2, but running on MTK OS instead of wm6.5, first i hesitated as i though it might be one of this ****ty clones that china produce, but he told me that it's from the main manufacturer whom already in china, maybe they produce it with this mtk with a good price due to high wm license prices...

I really like this phone but here in Egypt the price is almost 2.5X it's original price, so i thought i might get it and install wm6.5 on it instead of mtk, of course if it possible:confused:, so i need your opinion guys about this idea???!!!!!! and i would never find any place better that here for this matter....

sounds like a bad rip-off to me.. .

why don't you get your friend to send it to you, then if its good pay him?

If he's a friend surely he'll do that?

otherwise if it sounds to good to be true then it's going to be too good to be true..

I'd steer clear

3MP camera? Should be 5MP if its genuine. Also apps like peep or footprints are winmo apps so wouldn't work on mtk

yea, maybe you'are right,,,

i will tell him to send it to me, in my hands i will know if it's a genuine or a f***** damn clone(sorry, i just hate those Chinese clones),,,

As far as I know, HTC only has manufacturing plants in Taiwan and Brazil. I have not heard that the company has set up any plants in China. My information may be outdated, but I checked on the web about this just a few weeks ago.

My guess is that it is a fake, and that the quality would be very much suspect.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
And that MTK OS is pretty much exclusively used by Chinese phones - I'd see no reason to see it on an HTC device.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
You are quite right. HTC only produces phones using Android, the Brew® Mobile Platform, or Microsoft's mobile platform. The MTK OS is popular in China, and part of it is it can be set up to look like an original, without the functionality.
[HD2 General] joshting:
MTK is actually the processor name, short for Media Tek. Try google "T8585 MTK HD2" and you will find some info regarding the latest model. I read somewhere the latest update even have multitouch capacitive WVGA display. BTW, it is quite a good clone, running updated public domain WM6.5 ... and cost a fraction of the real thing. I wonder if anyone is doing a homebrew for this?

BTW, beware that some sellers might post wrong specs... its running dual Core, MTK6516 ARM9 460MHz (applications) + 280MHz (phone), RAM: 256 MB / ROM: 512 MB, dual sim and no 3G ... unless they release a new update.
