Landscape mode in manila is not disable. The rom only remove manila from G-sensor monitor list.

The reg key in HKCU\softway\HTC\manila, EnableLandscape is 'true', changing to 'false' will return manila back to portrait.

I guess gsensor is only monitor those app in it's list. If rotation detected, it tell the system "now it's portrait/landscape", and the system is set to portrait/landscape. So gsensor is only an option to set the system viewing mode.

So when switching from landscape Opera back to manila, manila is getting information from system that viewing mode is landscape, thus loading its landscape mode.

For some app that doesn't have landscape mode like Youtube (or Youtube just set the system viewing mode to portrait every-time it's launch -- i think doesn't have landscape mode is a better guess), the system will be set back to portrait mode.

So for every application before drawing it's UI, it will get viewing mode information from system. That's should explain why rotation in one application will affect others that doesn't included in gsensor list.

well, all these are just my wild guess, without unpacking those codec nothing can be assure.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi, The release ROM is English only (WWE), and there is no other language included. But manila files does have all languages that you may try to use. You may also install other language pack if you like and that should work (I never tested though).

Hello,

I've installed ... and not let me connect the twitter. Any solution??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi,

This is a global issue for all Windows Mobile devices that are using HTC Peep as client for Twitter.

See more details in the thread @ Post# 196.

You can try other twitter clients for now till HTC releases some HotFix for Peep. BUt make sure you use a client that has OAuth working. One example will be pocketwit.

Thanks.

Photon 6.5 full ROM

. I have loaded this rom and my TD2 is much faster, smooth and nice looking! Thank you sooooo much!!!

I wanted to know is there any cab for colorful task bar which is compatible with this Photon 6.5 full Rom

And yes also the back light goes dim and phone locks while seeing a video or while using youtube...any suggestions for that??

Is there any cab to make the annoying sound of service message silent which comes after making evry call or sending a message!

You have to install SDKCert before you install these.

Reg. Video Play in mobile/youtube:

Have you installed any app, which looks like causing this.

I have just played a video of 7 min length and the device did not get into sleep mode/lock. I even did not touched the device during play.

Reg. Message Sound:

I am not 100% sure if the same tone of default message is used for the service message as well. If so, you can change that from Settings - Sound & Notifications - Notification Tab - Select Message Type and un-ckeck the "Play Sound".

HTC People tab - problem with favorites manes after soft reset

Hello,

thank you for your great rom, I like it. But I found a small problem. After each soft reset people names a messed up in HTC people tab where I have contact for fast access. For example I have a DAD there and after soft reset there is still DAD but name under the contact is changed to ambulance. But when I try to call such contact it calls DAD and not the ambulance. When I take a look in Favorites contact group, there is everything OK. So it seems that only contact names are somehow messed up. Do you know where the problem could be? Not all my contact has a picture so I need to have a correct contact names there.

Thank you for your answer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sapphire_pro:

@@sapphire_pro:

Thanks for your input...As the old builds has less finger friendly and does not have better GUI like the newer ones so that will surely take less space. This ROM gives me 96MB Free RAM which is pretty good. I can remove the other language files from Manila and I can easily get extra ~10MB free. And even some tweaks give more extra space. But these has side effects as well (not the removing extra language files from Manila).

Also I do not wanted to compare my ROM with other ROMs here... but I try to give my best of what I can :).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
sense with 100MB free ram can be achieve if you disable WinMo startmenu. That alone would free up to 20MB. Disable the HTC notification will give you another 5MB, summing up you can get around 108MB on startup, but after some usage it will stabilize at around 80MB (compare with full feature rom which stabilize around 65-70MB) - only with 5 tabs enable. home, message, people, calender and settings.

If you like to have more than 100MB free after stabilize, it's not achievable with sense enable. Using others home alternative such as TodayXlive can give up to 13xMB with WinMo startmenu disable, and stabilize around 120MB.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
WinMo menu...

@vyis, how can you disable / re-enable the WinMo start menu? (on-the-fly) Isn't it have to be part of the ROM? (Sorry for stupid question, but I have around 24mb free after 2 days of usage with CHT2...)

Edit: Just found this thread that shows few ways to save RAM. But my question stands.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
i suppose you have lots of sense tab enable, i myself at most only goes down to 50MB with full feature .

There is a cab make by someone, that can just install and restart to disable default start menu, attach at the bottom. but you will need some start menu replacements. Some replacements takes no RAM but it's slow, some with less graphic load faster .

Thanks vyis for your reply.

@@ilyadan:

The free RAM that you have now looks like you have several stuffs installed/running on device. Even on CHT2 that should not reduce that low :confused:.

I never tried these start menu disable stuffs... but you can try as suggested by vyis. Also there are several Start Menu alternatives are there around that you can try.

The one I like is: MMAppLauncher. This has several features that a manila start menu does not like "Recent Programs", "Favorite Programs", "Run" etc.

Also you can also try the WP7 Start Menu, which looks like WP7.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TD2IN:
You can Tips#9 here to disable start menu. Also there is some cab in the thread that you can use.

I have used the MMAppLauncher in past and liked that. But now I am with default start menu.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] danielo:
I have no apps at SD card and I didn't install anything special. But I use exchange server contact sync provided by google. Maybe this is causing it, but I haven't had such problem with other roms :-(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Thank you all for your advice, I already used some tweaks. My main concern of using alternative menu is that I'll probably loose the settings menu. Replacements seem not to have settings implemented. I use only the following tabs: Home, Messaging, Mail, Calendar, Weather, Settings. So by my understanding there should be some space left in RAM, but after using the phone, running and

closing

few apps the free RAM drops. Most RAM is wasted on it's own, by just leaving the phone without soft reset. I think it's the cache to blame, as no residue of programs remain in memory.

I also use the ATI display driver (that have no impact on RAM, just speeds up the display), and Resco sound recorder (that eats about 6mb).

@prabhat, Do you intend to integrate XDA UC to help with the upgrade process?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] janissl:
I also had such issue using EnergyROM after booting XDAndroid or starting the navigation software (all from SD card). Now, I see that this is related with apps accessing to contacts. They change those display names in HTC People but, normally, the actual people under them are still the same. You can just open the contact for editing and exit with no changes – the display name should appear correctly. Quite annoying, though.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] sapphire_pro:

RSS Finger Friendly

Another tweak for the next release - enable Finger Friendly Touch UI in RSS Hub ... HKCU/Software/Ilium Software/RSS Hub/EnableTouchableUI and change from 0 to 1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
All these saving in memory come with price.... you loose some convenient when you gain some ram. WinMo start menu is the most responsive start menu (although it is memory hungry), so does HTC notification when you using manila.

To disable HTC notification, follow tweak no.11 in the following thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925945

To disable WinMo start menu, use the cab i attach in earlier post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14256913&postcount=241

If you can tolerate ugly (and inconvenient) default winmo dialer, get the NRGZ28 HTC Dialer Disabler (MS Dialer Enabler).cab from NRGZ28 addon gallery. This give you another 10MB+ . If you wish for even more, the best is stay away from sense 2.5.

p/s: Don't use default Winmo lockscreen, although it's fast after launched, it consume 10MB of ram ( no refund unless restart )

Usually there isn't so much need for memory, topaz doesn't have enough power to do lots of multitasking. So why don't just use the ram for eye candy.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
As EgorLev said the in-call tweak will solve the screen off problem better then WM6.5. The in-talk screen off on Topaz is done by g-sensor and light sensor, as we don't have proximity sensor. In my case I had too much ".Net" errors and stopped using it.

The facedown - mute and facedown - speaker are actually WM features and can be turned on and off by changing registry:

To turn on speaker future use this key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE]

"EnableSpkWithFaceDown"=dword:00000001

To turn on muter future use this key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE]

"FaceDownMuteRing"=dword:00000001

Hope I could be of help.

P.S. About the camera auto date, I didn't use it. But you can try the following keys and report if it's working. Always remember: changing registry can be dangerous, do it on your own risk.

;Allow Date & Time File Name Prefix:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\General]

"FilenameType"=dword:00000001

Thanks for your tips and ROM. It went perfectly. But one thing, you gave Uploaded link to download the ROM which was very very slow. After some search I found Mediafire link and that was lot faster. Why don't you put Mediafire link in the first page of your thread. Everybody will benefit from it.

One more thing. I had Danish ROM and that was very very sluggish. I was very surprised to see the speed of my phone after flashing your ROM!!! This is very true, Windows is making very poor mobile OS that's why we need tweaking and they've already lost market to IOS and Android and recently, I have bought IPhone 4 coz I am very much frustrated of windows mobile OS.
