I was thinking to have the ability to receive video call so if someone call me via video I can see and talk.

Of course to use the back camera as an extra option would be added advantage too.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ^Shader^:
Shader agrees.

Indeed that would be nice, have you tried searching for an app like this in the market?

I have installed it on my mini.. havn't tested video calling yet but it seems to have the options :)

Worth a try.. even if we have to use the back camera and a mirror :P

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cosacee88:
Havnt tried this, but I know you can use your mini pro camera as a webcam on pc by using ipcamera set up correctly
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Yup.. played with those sort of apps on the mini a while ago.. but this is skype video calling...

I had it working a couple of time, wasn't able to test video but it looks promising... now it seems I have to wipe the App Data and reset my phone each time I want to start skype or it sits in a permanent connecting loop...

Will keep playing... at least the Camera options are available :)

Hello Shaunjohn, Screenshots are now attached in the first post.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jmsmartins:
wellcome chef!

does your rom have HTC messaging?

cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Yes, it has HTC messaging.

As I said the ROM is very very close to Stock ROM with few updated application/packages.

Thanks.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mahdian57:
Some Problem

Thanks for sharing

but there is some problem:

1) Alarm Sound doesn't work if you change it from htc sense; I mean you can change it from setting/sound and notification.

2) after installing Persian Language pack my sms won't be shown correctly but anything else in other program is right. also I can't install updates for HTC Messaging.

and is it possible to reduce space between Lines in any program:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hello Mahdian57, Thanks for your input :).

For #1: It does work for me and another device. I have set the alarm for 5:00am and it did ring today morning :). Let me know is that the place you are referring to?

For #2: I have very less idea about the SMS issue of your locale language. I will try to get some input from my friends and let you know.

Which HTC Messaging update you are referring to?

Reg Space between lines: Are you talking about the Start menu Programs that shows 3 icon and you want to see more?

If this is true: As I tried to be very close to stock ROM, but I will still try to have this in next build.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Watch for the next release tomorrow...

Hello Friends,

Thanks for reviewing the ROM and ~92 download till now :).

I have some updates to the ROM which I hope all will like...

It will be released tomorrow after my final tests :).

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Mahdian57:
Alarm: U must change it from setting/Clock & Alarms not directly from home Screen

SMS: version 0.7 with Secure box

Space: in Default ROM spaces are tight together but You've added extra spaces between Lines (something like "line and Paragraph spacing" tool in Microsoft Word to change space between lines or paragraph)

I have also another question, is it really work "pocket mode"?

because it works based on proximity sensor as HTC said to me
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Thanks for the detail info Mahdian57,

Alarm:

I have tested from Manila - Home, Start -> Alarm and Settings -> Clock & Alarm. Actually the Settings - Clock & Alarm uses the Start - Alarm program.

ALL 3 are working. But I think the alarm program (Start - Alarm) has some bug :(.

I may remove that in my next build or fix the issue.

SMS:

I have never tested the Secure SMS.

On search I get the URL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741179

That looks promissing, I will try that some time and have in the ROM :).

Space: I am really sorry if I have not understood you, but if the issue is spacing between the start menu icons (program icons), than: I think the spacing is same as the stock ROM. Please confirm.

Pocket Mode:

Never tested so deeply, but I agree about the HTC's proximity sensor working mode.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] janissl:
Have you marked the 'Use unicode when necessary' checkbox in message settings? This may solve your problem.

I confirm that there are issues with the alarm sound if you switch from HTC Sense to the Windows Mobile default view or vice versa. Alarm sounds do not activate and you have to reset all those sounds (for each alarm if you set several alarms). But I am not sure that this problem can be solved in the Windows registry. Perhaps it lies somewhere deeper (in DLLs, for example).

Hello, chef

I'm dl right now, will report back later, but would like to see if you could have the fb tab also visible on the tabs instead of Stock, is it possible.

will report back as soon as it is downloaded.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
vyis, you may be right, and the battery indicator is not accurate. But the phone would operate for more then 3 full days with few calls, laying on table. (the stable part is important, as moving phone will eat much much more battery).

Prabhat, Thank you! Will update today. Nice surprise for my holidays! Thank you again!

One question, the Topaz have 288mb of RAM, but system only sees 182.59 mb RAM. Where another 100Mb RAM goes?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Contacts bug

Hi. I did first hour of testing 1.6. I see new bug that was not in previous ROM:

In the contacts list (when "Send" button pressed once), the details button is swapped to the left side. i.e. I have to press the contact picture (on left) to actually press details button (on right). This was happening on Energy ROM, and was one of the reasons I left that one.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi ilyadan,

This is a nice question.

RAM:

Essentially, there is 182MB of Program memory (RAM) that we have control over. The rest is needed by the device and is hidden from us.

Reference: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsmobile/archive/2005/11/17/494177.aspx

ROM: Stands for Read Only Memory which is not the same as flash/storage memory. TD2 has ~256MB of 'Storage' memory. This is a different type of memory to the ROM and RAM memory stated by the manufacturer.

This article describes what ROM and RAM are, specifically for Windows Mobile devices:

http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowsmobile/about/faq.mspx

Thanks for your feedback. I will look into this today evening and will update you, as now I have Lite version in my device so need to flash the FULL version and check this (I think the issue you are referring to FULL version).

BTW: Can you please send me some more info about the issue?

Is this some issue with 29020 SYS, as this build is using 29020... Any how I will get this confirm today evening.

Thanks.

my phone lives more then 3 days with few calls with no problem. wich radio do you use?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TheJokah:
does anyone else have a problem with Location Services? I thought that it was just my house that i could not get location(has happened on other roms), but it could not find me at work (other roms it worked at work). other than that, this is a nice light rom that i like a lot. im using 1.6 full.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
4.49.25.91

mine usually just barely touch one and a half day when i stay at home. (a few call (5-10 min), sms and some wifi ( less than half hour ).

i never try purely standby, but on heavy use when i go out (reading novel + around 2 hours of MP3 + some wifi checking for detail (less than half hour) ), i would only have less than 12 hours battery life.

3G is disable all the time (since always got free wifi).

What contact list, i can't find the 'detail' button. mind give detail on which application (or how to access it), how to duplicate the bug?

did you enable the location service? it under 'manila setting' -> 'Location'

On the 'improve location service...' and uncheck the 'Automatically decline location... '

Mine works well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Thank you for your answer about the RAM, so display cache and radio are eating around 100M... interesting.

I am using the Full version, and attached the snap of my screen to explain better.

My radio is in my signature. And 3 days with 3G disabled, almost no WiFi, and 5 min. calls a day.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Thank you all for the support and feedback.

@TheJokah:

vyis has already replied your query, which is the answer and should be working.

@vyis:

Thanks for all support :).

@ ilyadan:

Thanks for your additional input and image. And sorry for late reply from my side.... as I was bit busy today... I just got time to flash my FULL ROM and tried to repro the issue... but I could not.

Also If I see the image that you attached....

I can directly press the "Detail" button at right side of any contact (either from redial list or contact list) and it takes to detail screen - on single touch. Pressing the redial or contact picture (left side of the contact number) takes me to phone dial for the number.

So this is the normal behavior.

Is that not how it is happening in your case? Please confirm.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TD2IN:
Thanks prabhat for the info on Mobile Device Memory details.

I also got some info on Virtual memory too:

MSDN: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/hegenderfer/archive/2007/08/31/slaying-the-virtual-memory-monster.aspx

Here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4268137&postcount=2

Hi ilyadan, I too using the full version and I don't see this issue you are referring to. My device work fine and if I click once on detail button it takes me to the detail screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
You are doing more then enough, you don't have to apologize. Thank you for your effort!

That is not what happening, and was working fine before. As I can understand, you can't reproduce this error with your device. So it must be some kind of software I installed. As for testing purposes I installed only Resco explorer, Galarm, and Hebrew language support (all must have for me). I will try to understand what is causing this problem.

Edit: I figured it out! What happened is that Hebrew support entered wrong value for HKEY_C_U->MUI->CurLang key. The value was 1037 instead of 1033, and this behavior was due to that. After changing it, all is fine again. Thank you for your time and support.

Tags: Hebrew, Registry, "info button", manila, 1037, 1033.

Flashed this yesterday. So far works pretty well. May be a little faster, too early to tell about battery life. Two programs have issues :

- twitter won't log in

- omarket is out of date so it keeps trying to upgrade, but fails because it is in rom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
Then look at the applications you have installed. I have no battery problems with this radio.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
well, my battery life is almost the same for every ROM i have tried, which i doesn't care much about it as long as it last more than 12 hours.

Here a list of my application: Opera, Keyboard Controller, uTask, Cookie's Home&Editor, Data controller,G-alarm, Clear temp, Touch_incall config, WinMospeed, file Explorer extension

i have set Weather download to every 3 hours and email update to every 2 hours.

(by the way, HTC email tab is useless, it doesn't update change to server for every rom)

This is a news, i never know there is omarket cook in. And if you mean WMmarket, it's just a link to download it.

Twitter problem have been explained many times in lots of rom thread.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crandy2:
Please disregard the Omarket statement. I figured out the problem.

As to the Twitter problem, the only thing I saw in this thread was that Twitter had changed something, and we had to wait for HTC to issue a fix.

Is their another Twitter client that will work in the mean time?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Twitter Issue

The Twitter/HTC Peep issue is global across all devices, I think.

As far as I can see from HTC website they has released one HotFix on 2011-02-10 and the HotFix is already included in my ROM. The Twitter was working good with this HotFix.

Now it is suddenly stopped working (since a week ago or two) and giving Invalid Username/password. But the Twitter website work without any issue with the same credentials. There is no more HotFix for this issue from HTC yet.

This ROM will get the update as-soon-as HTC release any HotFix.

Some additional reading on this HotFix.

Thanks.

EDIT:

The HotFix was included in my ROM since version 1.2.

See ROM Change Log.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] @antonio@:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi @antonio@,

Thanks for your interest, but currently I have only for WWE.

As I don't know any other languages, so it will be difficult at this moment.

But I have plans to have multi-language, may be when I get some good free time ;) and take help of other friends like you to verify if the language port is working as expected :confused: But I think you can always install language pack and work with that?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] @antonio@:
Meanwhile thanks,

I would have a chance to try your beta in a quietly ita as also possess another Diamond.

At most we could start with a lite version.

I could also help in some translations to lighten your work.

I would be very happy :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
From what I have personally used – Topaz keyboard controller ate allot of my battery. Also G-alarm is reported to eat allot of power on some devices with some settings. Also, you never know how your battery behaves if you downgrade your CPU speed. Some thinks that less CPU speed gives more battery, but on the other hand your CPU on the lower speed needs more time to execute the task. Аnd vice versa. I suggest you to try this ROM without any additional application installed and CPU speed tweaks and you will see the real battery life which is quite good compare to other ROMs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TD2IN:
Thanks prabhat for adding the the Twiter/HTC Peep issue/details.

In the mean time, what should be the best app / twitter client for windows mobile ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wavesshock:
Don't know whether it was mentioned as a bug, but album is really slow. I mean animation when sliding from fullscreen view of a single picture. Anyone else confirming this problem? reflashed rom, still the same. facebook-albums now works great! :)

Great rom anyways. like your work man
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Battery is better!

I didn't have time to fully recalibrate the battery. But even without calibration, the battery last 2 days of normal activity (morning-evening). That is much better then before, and same as Dutty's ROM. In my case, the battery issue is solved in 1.6.

Thank you, prabhat!

Hangs when phone locks when in Opera Landscape

Not sure if this is rom related but both Opera 10 & Opera Mini have rotation enabled after install and if either are in landscape mode when the phone locks the screen hangs and I have to remove the battery to restart.

Occurs when the screen is locked by Smartlock, long press of end key or pressing the lock button on the start menu (Manila stays is in landscape if you switch from Opera in landscape - even though disabled in the rom).

Possibly related to improper shutdown resulting from above: after restart clear type was disabled (and I could not reselect) and a read text message becomes unread again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
i uninstall G-alarm and use standard WinMo, seems to last a bit longer, but need to scarifies on the range of ringtone....

For Topaz keyboard Controller i don't try without it since i can't find an replacement for hardware key remapping.

Thanks for the advice.

i somehow manage to reproduce the problem. Using opera mini and tile it into landscape mode, leave it to standby and locking the screen (i'm using CHT lock).

waking it up using power button, there is a difference from here on

1. touch the screen right a way, which will result in normal home screen or any application that's reside on where i touch in home screen (i should see my CHT lock screen here), but non of the icon is responsive (expect for the slider and bottom bar). i don't find anyway to bring the phone back to functionality others than a soft reset.

2. leaving it untouch for a few second, the lock screen will just load up. Unlocking from that point won't cause any problem.

i was thinking this is just a problem with manila/CHT, nothing rom related.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Thanks EgorLev, for the clarification. I appreciate this :).

I dont use much twitter client on mobile :(

But any twitter client you decide, make sure you opt for a Client that has OAuth working.

May be you can try pocketwit till HTC gives any hotfix. As I have seen several recommendation for this app as this is finger friendly and supports OAuth and free too :).

You can also your browser to access mobile edition of twitter. Other friends here can suggest if any.

Thanks wavesshock for your feedback. I will check this.

Thanks ilyadan for confirming this and your effort.

Hi ginner & vyis,

Thanks for your feedback/input.

And thanks to vyis too :).

I did checked the issue with the default Opera browser on ROM and default HTC Lock Screen and I could not repro the issue. I did checked the same with another ROM from my friend and I could not repro as well.

As vyus said; to me also it look like issue is with the the lock mechanism that Smartlock and CHT implement in that particular scenario.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ginner:
Landscape locking issue

This issue doesn't occur with Opera 9.X - I am using Opera Mini and Opera 10. I uninstalled Smartlock and don't have CHT installed.

I am able to get Manila in Landscape: When tilted to landscape in either Opera version, if I press 'end', 'start' or close Opera properly I get Manila in landscape.

Locking the phone from Manila or Opera (long 'end' or start menu lock icon) when in landscape causes the crash.

If no-one else can replicate I will try a hard reset.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Ohh Ok I see what you mean... I will try after I install Opera 10. But still I am wondering how can they make manila in landscape even in that is disabled in ROM :confused:

Thanks.
