Hi arealityfarbetween,

I'm using Titanium as well. As I'm using the WWE (0409): Fodd Sx1.Final version, Sense will make it too heavy for my daily usage. I also installed CLauncher, CWeather(for HK). Would like to add the "Start > Setting > Memory" to CLauncer but cannot file the correct lnk or exe.

Agreed with your suggest of changing the right soft key on the clock panel to go to Comm Manager.

For the latest Sx version (wm6.5.x build 28240), what are the major differences with the previous 6.5.x build? ...............Tks.

help ....in call volume problem!!

when I speak with somebody on my diamond and I want to increase the volume to hear better it doesn't change, it only apears the volume control for the system not for the in call volume.

P.S. sry for my english!!

P.S.2 - overall is an excellent rom, Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
@PCPhil: I think a couple had it. Don salari's clean ROM and BsB off the top of my head. They were great ROMs. :)

@hoifree: What's CWeather? You got a URL for that one? does it do My Location? How about the Google Maps panel? Or was that just part of CLauncher?

@for3v3r: Is it straight ES or ESx your using?

Any others experiencing the above issue with ES?

To all those titanium users out there using my ROM. I've been trying to get the camera to save by default into "\Internal Storage\DCIM" so the pictures show in the sliding panel on the today screen. I have had no success :(

I did however, teach myself a little mortscript and have came up with the attached file. It's set to move all *.jpg files from "\Internal Storage\My Documents\My Pictures" to "\Internal Storage\DCIM" once every hour. If you put it in the Internal memory and add a link to it from the startup folder I believe that it'll work quite nicely to keep photos in sync with the today screen.

For other localisations (apart from WWE), you'll need to change the variables for where the camera puts your pictures and if you want it to refresh more/less you can change refresh_int with another value in seconds (e.g. 10 mins = 600), in fact I have it set to every minute so that it picks up the images again once unplugged from disk mode...

Step by Step:

1) unzip on your PC

2) modify variables to reflect your phone setup

3) install the mortscript cab

4) place link in startup to the script

5) enjoy

Anyone who wants to improve my code, get back to me with an updated version. I was thinking of a config file, ask the user how often to refresh on first run? Maybe a sister script for configuration to get and set the values? Thoughts?

EDIT: Updated script; reduced interval to 2 minutes. If script can't find the picture folder it starts checking each second until it returns before continuing.

EDIT2: Updated and split functions of script into two. Modify the variables and plonk them both in your startup folder. "pics2dcim.mscr" moves the files every two minutes, "watcher.mscr" polls whether the internal storage is present every second and if it appears when it wasn't present on the last poll it will redraw the today screen to show the images in the DCIM folder again.

It's called titanium-pps, the pps is for picture panel support (shorter name suggestions welcome!) If anyone finds these two scripts useful I'll look at getting their options from a config file, or a setup script which will install them in a fancy way :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] for3v3r:
it is WWE (0409): Fodd ES1.rc5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
Looks like a drawback of ditching the HTC dialler. The fix is to disable HTC volume control as well. Use the cab posted here if you want to get in call volume control back.

EDIT: Totally unrelated but I just wrote this so I thought i'd post it for the titanium fans :D

It copies all the handy albumart we have lying around courtesy of HTC Sense to Folder.jpg in the same directory so that WMP can use it and be displayed on the sliding panel. As before, you need to tell it where your music is stored on your internal storage if your localisation is anything apart from WWE.

It doesn't tell you much, just puts up the wait cursor to tell you it's working. Assuming you transfer music in a sane fashion, ie. Artist\Album hierarchy then it'll work. Took a couple of seconds on 200 songs spread across a fair few albums on my diamond.

Let me know if you like or if it doesn't work for you.

EDIT2: Updated for folk who have a single level hierarchy, i.e. \Internal Storage\My Documents\My Music\Artist-Album or similar.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Abner78:
Thanks for the great rom... feeling at home after a long time, since Kimera failed to be honest.

Just one question: is it possible to upload your rom to something else than Ubuntuone?

I can't resume the file download and the download stops very often. Something like megaupload? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hoifree:
Hi arealityfarbetween,

It should be the Titanium Weather plugin for HK. It only gets the HK weather information from the HK Obsevatory.

For the Google Maps panel, yes, it is just part of the CLauncher. Do you know the 'lnk' or 'exe' for invoking the Start > Settings > system > Memory application?

Tks.

Problem with Tachi phone canvas

I'm using the ROM:

. Fodd Sense on 6.5.x

WWE (0409): Fodd Sx2.rc1

It's a great ROM. Stable, and with 17MB of RAM free, but there are some problems with Tachi dialer:

- When someone call's me, it appears no photo, number or name in the screen. It's just a blank white screen.

- Also when I make a call, it shows allays the first person I've called (photo, number and name), despite it really is calling another person.

- When I'm in a call, the screen with the new buttons of the 6.5.x version of Windows hides the bottom buttons of the Tachi dialer.

Can you correct these issues please?

I really like these ROM. It's the first with Windows 6.5.x and Sense 2.1 that really is fast and doesn't takes all the RAM on my Diamond.

Great Work.

Hi!

I was testing the last rc5 os your ROM Fodd Es in spanish language. And i have to say that this could be the final release, unless you make more optimizations ;) . I only want to propose something. I was using a program to disable and enable Sense when you run an App. It's this

StartProgWOSense - Update v2.5

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799457

Some cookers include this in their roms to gain more than 20-30 mb of extra RAM when running some apps. But i cant make it work with your Rom. Will you include it working in rc6 or with a HOTFIX? :D:D:D

Best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
@ahneves: Confirmed issue with rhodium phone canvas on Sx2. Building up a version with the Huashan phone canvas now which hopefully won't have the issues mentioned. Will post results in a while. It supports video call but you have to retract the keyboard to get to it, for some reason it's another 'delete' key until then :confused:

@djkail: Looks like a nice little program. Didn't install it myself but the basic code is about 3 lines long from what I've learned so far ;) As for why it doesn't work with the ROM, have you tried installing Mortscript from here? Do you get any kind of errors when running the StartProgWOSense?

@hoifree: I'm not sure how that's accessed but I think it's from main.cpl which probably doesn't help you at all. Sorry!

To everyone else, good evening! I'm looking at including some titanium enhancements and a few registry tweaks to make it easy to switch between the two. Without having to spend a while setting up Titanium!

Main ones would be opera favourites and titanium weather. Clauncher, depends on how easy titanium plugins are to cook in although I can't imagine it being hard-no promises! ;)

For configuration-that Home Screen Customiser looks great for everyday use and probably will be included, I've still been using CHome Editor myself!

So for you Sense users, check the Changelog on post #2 to see if anything has changed that affects you!

Has anyone tested ESx?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djkail:
Hi again.

I installed Mortscript before and after installing startprogWOSense without luck. I posted in that thread too for some help. It will be awesome to run this app in our diamonds with sense 2.5 + wm 6.5 because we will always have avaliable ram for all apps. There isn't any error showed by the app. It just simply not working, sense don't close. Maybe the path is wrong... maybe the file has another name... It surprised me that in the startprogWOSense's thread says "Runs on all Roms (not only WWE) with HTC-Sense!" and didn't worked with your awesome rom. I don't know how to use Mortscript to look for any solution... Maybe you can... It will push up RAM for our diamonds... Help please!

New information.

Flashed Gen.Y D2x R2.6 Rom with sense 2.5 in my diamond for testing

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=590090

The StartProgWOSense app worked great! Closed Sense without problems and got only 46% of RAM used (64% avaliable for the APP) running Tom Tom Navigator... Maybe this would help... Or not... Maybe it's a problem with Sense version (2.5.2012 vs 2.5.2019??¿¿)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RethXoth:
Quick question, gotta get the train so can't give too much info atm

Ok umm, i installed this ROM but for some reason I can't send any Text messages.. when i try to get the info from the network i get a error that it cant be read.. also manual editting the service centre doesn't work..

HardSPL update tells me i got version 1.00 and radio too (if i open up CustomRUU.exe)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] for3v3r:

now it works, thanks!!!

Struggling with the same issue on NLD Rom, thinking it could be a language specific thing; did you flash the spanish version of Gen.Y D2x R2.6?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djkail:
Yes i did. I installed spanish version of Gen. Y D2x R2.6....

New information... I tested your # ESN (0C0A): Fodd Sx2.rc1 (WM 6.5.x) and StartPrgoWOSense.... WORKED!!!?¿?¿?¿ I can't believe it... Only the Fodd ES1.rc5 version is failing... I tested both and i prefer the Fodd ES1.rc5.... arealityfarbetween, do you have any idea???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
Hi everybody, cheers for all the comments etc... Don't have much time, gotta head to work.

But, to djkail and Nirak, you need to rename the "Sense" today plugin to become "HTC Sense" to fix the problem. I'll include the fix in the next up.

It's proving a bit harder to cook in the titanium plugins but I think I have a shortcut to accomplish that, so shall have the next rc up by the weekend.

EDIT: It is, infact, two registry settings you need to change to get StartProgWOSense. I just got the chance to test and it works fine if you set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\"DisplayNameInTodaySetting"="HTC Sense" and rename the "Sense" key to "HTC Sense" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RethXoth:
Tbh I have no clue what you just said about that spanish thing LOL, I'm new to all of this, but I did fix it!

Got the following installed:

NLD (0413): Fodd Sx2.rc1

Radio v1.00.25.05

1.40 Olinex

I used this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=414835)

to remove the CID/Security lock on the phone, and for some reason (after restarting it) it worked! Hope you understand the guide ;)

PS: Download the rapidshare file, instructions are in there.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
I don't know why you needed to, but security/CID/SIM unlocking is NOT required to use any of the ROMs here.

Glad you got it fixed and are texting away happily though :)

@Nirak and djkail: See my post before this one to see how to make ES compatible with StartProgWOSense :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RethXoth:
I know, I also wondered why I needed it.. Maybe it's because I have the MDA Compact IV from T-Mobile, and the factory setting reset made it lock to T-Mobile again? Not sure.. but hey, it worked, so I aint complaining! Got an awesome ROM and all it's features :) Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djkail:
Worked for me... Thanks a lot! You are the best!!! And now we have 27% more of RAM!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
works like a charm over here to! Tx for helping out so quick.

@RethXoth the spanish 'thing' i mentioned (Gen.Y D2x R2.6) is a custom rom from another Rrom cooker in this forum, sorry for my abracadabra (dunno good english translation...lol....) but you use the NLD romversion so you probably understand ;-).

btw...i had problems getting to get the StartProgWOSense working, had no problems with texting or phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jarno_jarno:
im using Fodd ESx1 . test1 and it's verry nice and quick. ram about 20-26 MB free with normal use (about 40 MB after boot).

Maybye you can optimise kernel, or other thinks for a little bit more speed and free ram. I really like the overal speed, like typing in a sms, going to sms/calls/tabs. also the texts from sms in bubble speech is cool and works fast, but scrolling should be a little bit faster in them.

Also, it would be nice if you can decrease rom memory, why provide opera 10, if opera mini 5.1 is faster and takes less resources, provide v10 as a cab.

the issue with keybord icon, not functions for hiding the input (you want this sometimes if you need to read a little bit further in messages etc.). You know about it: Using the middle (downwards) button does the trick of course. Maybye yiu can take a look at it, if you didn't already :)

the pincode screen has some artifacts although, rest is nice. can u make an option, button to disable (to add in quicklinks) the weather moving animation, maybye also for disabling feeds scrolling?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
Well, the thing with the kernel is that about the only thing I've read I can do with it is remove 3 unneeded modules which I did already. Any posts you know of to help me out?

I noticed that scrolling was pretty slow in the speech bubble people messaging screen. It speeds up a bit if you turn off the bubbles and go back to the normal display there.

I had thought about only providing IE. Bit focussed on some other stuff atm but will install and try out Opera Mini as a possible replacement because I do believe Opera Mobile is a bit heavy. Drawback with IE is that it doesn't have a nice search facility and the zoom sucks. Anyone care to comment; Opera Mobile vs. Mini?

The keyboard pull out is a known issue, described on post #2-it should still hide/show the keyboard though, tap on the far left of the symbol. There's no section for ESx but anything that affects ES or Sx will affect ESx ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] PCPhil:
Opera Mini

I always use Opera Mini. Latest version is fast, memory light and can easily be set as default.

If a ROM has Opera Mobile I normally delete shortcut then delete the program files to give me another 8Meg free storage.

StartProgWOSense compatibility

FYI I updated my StartProgWOSense to version v2.5.1 - now the program renames 'Sense' to 'HTC Sense' automatically if it's needed.

Enjoy it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jarno_jarno:
Oh nice, it works like a charm, maybye replace button with one with a litte arrow on the left will suit? I don't know about kernel optimalsation, saw one of the cookers saying "kernel heavenly optimised, so that pagepool 10MB usage is as quick as 12MB without" the memo team did that, maybye you can ask rhem were to look or to start.

Thanks for being so helpful anyway, I'll stick with your rom(s). I was a fan of Don Saleri but he stopped and there are far more issues with his rom. The roms were ony about 68MB in size, so I think you can gain a litte bit more in terms of ram/rom memory (not to much, because then it introduces issues I think).

Can you say anything about speed and ram with normal usage for the ES and Sx you build into compare with ESx?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djkail:
I don't think Opera Mini is better than IE or Opera Mobile 10. I use Opera Mobile 10 because I agree fixOperaflash to have some flash support... And it works well with some tweaks (I hope an upgrade version) You should see this link

hi, really nice rom, i'm trying it from some hours and it looks pretty cool.

Incoming Call

Hi. I'm having a problem.

When I recive a call, I can't see who is calling me (where should be the picture appears a white square and no name).

Does anyone knows a solution?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
@miguel_correia: I'm assuming you're using Sx? A previous poster mentioned the issue there. Unfortunately I don't think it can be fixed by cab because it's caused by the rhodium dialler not being compatible with wm6.5.x :( I will be releasing a new version this weekend with the Huashan dialler along with a new ES release. Portugese is probably not possible in Sx since I have no language files for Sense 2.1 but ES would be possible, post #3 has info on what I need for it. Alternatively, point me at some Sense 2.1 language files for portugese and I'll do it.

@gscaparrotti: Tried switching SIP layouts from phone keypad, full qwerty and compact qwerty in ES while searching for weather cities-no reboot experienced on ES. Are you using Sx? Anyone confirm on that?

@jarno_jarno: Ram usage on ESx should be same as Sx at boot (~42Mb), 5% higher than ES during normal usage but not much different apart from that. Don Salari's ROM's were so small since they only had titanium and some barebones HTC addons.

To everyone else, I'm just finalising the next releases. Sit tight.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] theXaviar:
Hi everybody, and hello arealityfarbetween.

Firstly, congrats on a truly excellent ROM. I've used a few ROMs from other cooks and found most of them "fancy" in their own customized way but waaay too slow for my liking. Was a Don Salari ROM user until your Sx RC1 appeared. Been using it a few days and am hoping to flash the whole family's Touch Diamonds with it soon. I'm still fairly new at this so please forgive any idiotic questions. Couple of issues I'm having;

I didn't really like the in-built Android-ish keyboards (just a matter of taste; I prefer the Manila style EZ Input look - matches the rest of Sense - and they offer more special characters) but I've installed BJK_EzInput and IMSelector to sort that out.

The SIP button's a bit touchy (the menu pops up sometimes when I'm just trying to close or open the keyboard). A previous 6.5.x ROM allowed me call the SIP menu with a long press of the keyboard soft key. Any way to enable that?

Also, when I do press it, there are 2 SIP menus battling for supremacy - one Windows, the other HTC (I prefer the latter btw). Is anyone else having the issue or have I buggered it up by installing BJK_EzInput &/or IMSelector?

I really don't like the Diamond2/HD2-style calculator (I know that makes me a weirdo). My previous ROM had SPB Calculator built in & I applied the Sylvan Manila skin to it (it matches Sense a lot better) & I was happy with that. Does anyone know where I can find SPB Calculator in CAB format? AFAIK it's freeware but I can't find it anywhere - just a lot of skins for it.

The real trouble-maker is that caller ID bug. I am on Australia's 3 network and I need (& love) my video calling but I also need to know who is calling me as I use my phone for my personal life, work, & uni. Thing is, shortly after I flashed the ROM I could have sworn the caller ID was working (just with a much smaller contact image than I was used to from Tachi & Rhodium in previous non-.x ROM's).

I don't want to give up video call nor give up 6.5.x so I hope the next build with the Huashan dialer can fix this - but I like the Rhodium dialer's button which switches between the front & rear cameras (I use that a lot more than you'd think).

Does the Huashan dialer have that button?

And will I still be able to make audio calls from Sense's People tab?

I've downloaded your kitchen and hope to get around to learning to cook my own ROM when uni's over for the year. Keep up the great work. This is easily the best ROM I've used yet. You're a legend.

Sitting tight. Cheers.

Hi,

Some more observations with the Fodd Sx1. Final ROM:

1. Music playing sometimes will have skipping symptom;

2. I have installed Chinese hand writing input method. I encountered auto reboot quite often when switching between the full QWERTY & the Chinese input method;

3. Sometimes, tapping the top left area cannot invoke ArkSwitch;

4. When using FreeOTFE4PDA to mount a file in 'Internal Storage' or 'Device', the attached error will be encountered. Not sure if this is related to this ROM. (I've using this software in my Win6.1 official ROM.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arealityfarbetween:
1) Skipping will happen, time to time. CleanRAM/soft-reset should sort out the problem ;)

2) No idea about that, I don't use it. If you have a fix?

3) An issue that seemed to occur with ShowcaseSuite so it was the lesser of two evils here, experienced similar on other ROMs so wasn't too fussed with that. You can always run from the start menu :)

4) That's an XIP optimisation-the kernel does not know what encryption is :P

To everyone else, some of you may know I've been working on StartProgWOSense. I have a version ready for release and that's the main reason for the delay. It seems pretty solid and I'm building them now, going to test tonight but should be available for download early tomorrow, ES first. Titanium Users will be pleased...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] theXaviar:
I've encountered the ArkSwitch problem on Sx RC1 too but have encountered it on every other 6.5.x ROM I've tried. I tried disabling the drop-down notification bar to see if that was the problem but it didn't help. I think it must be an ArkSwitch bug. You can access it from the start menu (or Programmes tab if you've re-enabled that and put a shortcut there) or map ArkSwitch directly to a long press of a hardware key via Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons > Programme Buttons.

I wish I could map the End key to ArkSwitch but it doesn't seem to allow that. You could easily map it to a long press of the green key though (seems to be the only mappable key on my Diamond for some reason). I would - but I use that button for Rotate Screen.
