German version please!

I like this ROM very much. To answer some questions:

- overall speed is very good. At stock settings and with no programs installed (except from built in) it's really fast!

- even with "fancier" modds like CHT my topaz still is very responsive and fast.

- CHT does NOT slow down my device (at least not significally)

- batterylife: can't tell. I think my battery is close to death (after playing around with android on my topaz and pro2)

- wifi works very well, but goes off after sleep

- mobile connection deos not work! I cannot get access to the internet on the go! Nor trough opera neither trough apps like facebook... updated

radio, had no effect...

- messaging app is fast enough. enough because if you dissable conversation-view and do not open messages throu people tab, than it's ok

-updating stuff sometimes is quite difficult, eg weather! I cannot update my location! the device does not recognize where I'm at and because of

that I get no forecast...

- updating twitter is strange too. at first sync nothing happens and after some time the tweets are synced. it's not that i didn't wait, but it looked

like it was updating crazyly.

- using marketplace does not work. I cant install it, also tried to install net cf 3.5. no success to both. so i cant update facbook eg or live

messenger

- everything else works the way you expect it to (notification LED, lockscreen(btw very nice one! Would love to see a modded one like android

based devices have, a curved slider! ♥.♥), etc.

One request left!!! Please make GER version! I fell in love with this rom, even decided not to play around with androin anymore (at least not on my

topaz! :D) and use this as daily os. But a german version woud be awesome!

Hello crandy2,

Thanks for your feedback. Also thanks to "wavesshock" for answering some of your questions.

1) Overall speed is increased with this build you can check benchmark reports. And messaging seems to be improved with new features. Baterry life is pretty good :) too.

2) I too use CHT 2.0 and the speed seems to be good.

Only thing to make sure you do not have more pages (3 should be good) and do not have so many shortcuts set for the quick links in home page.

3) Performing Task29 is good just to make sure you have no garbage from old build. I have also included the RUU utility in the ROM that you can use. Instead you can also use the Advanced ROM utility for Topaz for this. (this is also referred in my Post#1)

Hello vyis, Thanks for all your input/feedback.

1) Having alternative start menu in a stock like ROM does not look good. So I have a Lite Edition. So Lite Edition does not have the HEAVY Manila and meant for having OWN Start Menu and Theme. I have tested some good themes like The Host, Win7 Titanium project and the Windows 7 Start Menu.

2) That is default with the newer builds.

3) Can you explain more.

If that the Hardware button: That work for System/Ringtome when no app is running. When any app like music/full screen player is on that controls the volume of that specific app.

4) Audio Booster without Headset: I will love to have that too :). I too dont know how to do that but will surely try that :) thanks for your suggestion.

5) Default... will still look at that ;)

6) Importing Internet Setting from SIM: Can you send me the link please?

Thanks wavesshock for all your input and feedback and thanks for replying other queries as well :).

WiFi: That is defaul because of OnDemand. The WiFi radio will be ON automatically when demand and will go to sleep/off when not require. That save power :).

mobile connection deos not work: It does work for me. Just now I have updated all my sync stuffs on go (without WiFi). Please make sure the Network is selected in the Settings - Connections - Connections - Advance.

Weather -my location It does work without any issues. Just Make sure My Location is set to ON Weather TAB :).

Twitter / facebook:: I never had any issue yet :). All default settings does work.

Marketplace: : Same here... No issue. I did installed some app yesterday. Also replied same to another user as well.

GER version!: I will try to have multi-language, but not getting time :(.

Thanks again for all your input/feedback.

You can save your time, when you release your kitchen...

Everybody can then make its own language version (I would make czech one)...

thx
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Quiksilver:
Prabhat

Thnx again for this awesome ROM.

Lockscreen is more responsive :confused: did u do something with it?

I would like a Dutch version! :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
hello Prabhat, thanks for looking through,

for point 3 , when pressing the hardware volume button, the HTC volume pop-up right? there are two Tab, Ringer volume and system volume.

The default setting start with Ringer volume tab, mean for people like me it's a bit troublesome. Have to look at the screen and manually switch to system volume tab. (since most of the time Ringer volume we only set once, during configuration after flashing a rom, so it make more sense to set default tab as System volume)

Anyway, i just map most of my volume related application using slim volume to tackle this issue.

for the audio booster, i think it possible with MortScript, changing the registry every time during boot up

HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset set the value to 1 (soft reset will bring it back to 0)

Importing Internet Setting from SIM: this one is a feature in NRGZ28 for quite a long time, don't quite remember but i will take note of the name he got some new release for me to play with.

Big Thanks for your time and effort
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wavesshock:
Thanks for the answer!

But I cannot get mobile internet to work. It seems to me as it has to be Rom related

(tried stock 2.53 rom and it worked, further it's not the sim-card, tried another phone

and it worked...).

I also checked all the settings, My Location is turned on, auto-sync too. Nothing

seems to help.

Nevertheless: Great ROM!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
i think this may be related to rom's network database, which may not be true for all carrier all the time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wavesshock:
I manually set up a city near my home town, so it's kind of a solution ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] papinho:
I decided to try the Photon series (1.5 full version) and I am very happy with it now :) Very stable, no issues so far, very good battery life. Unfortunately, I can't install my favorite taskbar (oVi's WinDroid Project! TaskBar v0.8 WM6.5.x), but it's not a big deal.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] nstkhanom:
"X" to close program

How to config for press "X" to close application.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
AMeBa service, just google for "AMeBa Xda". For HTC album to exit on 'X' , it's a registry entry, which i don't quite remember. But you can use touch tool to access it.

p/s: can anyone HTC album get access to facebook pic?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Thanks every one for your input and feedback :).

Some over all tweaks and some default drivers as well, which might be the result.

I see what you meant for the volume key :).

For Audio Booster: I will surely do that. Thanks for your input :).

IE Settings Import from SIM: I dont know much of that area.. but will give a try.

Also thanks for helping answering other questions :).

Can you give me the details of your location and I will see if I can hack the Connection DB for your region?

Also try to configure your internet settings manually by asking your provider and check once.

Hmmm, I have never tried any other taskbar yet... not much sure of this. I will test that app if I get some time :confused:

The 'X' button on the right-hand corner is called the smart minimize button in WinMo and that is doing its job. But you can still configure that if you like using other tools like AMeBa. It is a good tool. I will suggest to have better task manager to close apps like ArkSwitch (See my post# 3 -> Additional Recommended Applications).

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hey thanks for your reply to the question... I did not see your reply when I replied. Any how thanks.

Reg. can anyone HTC album get access to facebook pic?:

This should work: Select Album TAB -> Click on "Albums" -> "Album" button -> Select "f" Tab -> Select the User -> View the Album :).

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
hmm, exactly the same way, mine can properly see the friends list, tapping into user see their list of album (this time without preview pic) , selecting specific album do open up but no pic is showing.

If it's just me, then i just reflash the rom next week when i'm free to see what have gone wrong with my setup.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
you are not alone! same for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
This looks like some issue in the ROM. Confirmed some issue which I will look into and should be fix in next release.

More Info:

This issue happen for FileSystemCache.

More details can be found in MSDN.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]

1) "EnableCache" should be 1. Which is DEFAULT and is already set in ROM.

2) "CacheSize" should not be used. DEFAULT is 0. Which is also good in ROM.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\FLASHDRV\FATFS]

3) "DataCacheSize" is set to 0 in ROM as that is DEFAULT so that it will be dynamic and all these picture from Facebook should be shown correctly.

Or May be an updated version of Facebook require :confused:?

Still I will look into this issue.

Thanks.

EDIT: Updated the Facebook to 1.1.0.26, still no luck :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wavesshock:
Wrong thread! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
entered missing registry values. played with them. also no luck!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
perhaps an update to HTC album? the one coming with rom is quite old.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
May be :confused: I will look into this issue or may be the Social Network package has some issue :confused:. I will update you all on this soon.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
attach are pic of NRGZ AutoData Config, im not sure how this is working but it does getting the right network setting for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hmmm...

By default the ROM is having "Connection Setup" and "Connection Setup Database" that is meant for AutoConfig the InternetSettings for most of all SIM Card (I know NOT ALL settings are covered here ;) ). This automatically configure the Internet Settings using similar screen that you attached.

I have tested this in India with "Idea", "AirTel" and "BSNL" operators and "At&T" in USA. And I can see the connection setup does its task right.

I do know the Connection Setup Database is responsible for the Country/Operator and its setting and might be the database does not have settings for your SIM :confused:.

So can you try a stock ROM (from your country) and see if the settings are working for you. And if that is WORKING fine please give me link to that ROM so that I can grab the settings (specific to your country) from that Database and add those in the Global DB for my ROM?

Thanks.

Fix: View Facebook Online Album from HTC Album

Hello,

Please use the attached CAB to fix the "View Facebook Online Album from HTC Album" that was reported by users here.

This fix will be included in next ROM :).

Issue Was:

Using Facebook Client and selecting the profile and view album photos was working.

But view Facebook album does not work from HTC Album:

->> Select Photos & Video TAB - Album - Albums - Facebook Tab - Select Profile to view the Album - Select Album. (This does not preview/load photos in Album).

Fix:

Use attached CAB file and install on Device.

Additional Info:

The fix simply creates a folder called "PINET_ROM" in the root of your device. The FacebookSDK.dll is hard-coded to look for Flash Storage there, but for some reason, the driver that's supposed to create the folder (OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL) doesn't mount the drive properly (or something like that).

Also below registry key should be set (which is already set in my ROM)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"EnableOnlineAlbum"=dword:1

So the attached fix should get the online Album working.

Note: This will be included in my NEXT Release.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
no luck with my country official rom, reflash your rom later in the day and see how the facebook solution goes. Update later

edit: after a few re-flash, it seems like facebook won't connect via wifi network. Before or after install the album fix cab, in HTC album or facebook application. i can get it to work if i'm using data connection.

edit: i don't know what have i done, but after finish all my preference setup the wifi is working for facebook....?? anyway this time the HTC album is working nice, can have access to all pic.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
Today made some photos with the phone and noticed that album works crappy. If you chose a photo from manila photo & video tab it’s opens in the Album app. Then I try to slide photos in full screen forward and rewind they not always slide.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ReWind402:
Hey prabhat,

I am very satisfied with your rom, very stable, love the stock philosophy, and good battery life ( 29017 build is best by far in compare with 23xxx builds ). As i rely a lot on the built in sanse tab calendar i have found maybe a bug or dont know what but its a little bit irritating. The problem is that in some case when i move ( to another date ) or delete an already set appointement its still there on the same date so i have to press "Month" view and again tap that day and see if its deleted. Dont know if you understanded me but it seems that after deleting the appointment or moving it, the htc calendar is not updating its status so i have to double check the day to see if its deleted or not. Maybe updating the htc calendar would solve the problem. Everthing else is working as it should :), good job and keep it that way.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi vyis, thanks for the update. I will try to see if I can get hold of some official ROM of your country and see if I can get those working :). Thanks for other update as well.

I will see if that really a issue in ROM. Any how I will be updating my Album module and some other relates stuffs as well in my next build. So hope your issue should be addressed :).

Hi ReWind402, Thanks for your feedback :).

Reg Appointments: Yes I have seen that in Stock ROM as well... and I too get that little delay so that Manila will refresh its data from OS Core. I will see if I can have some tweak there.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
My friend use Energy ROM and also have this issue. So this might be the latest Album version issue.

found the solution: remove the album entry from the g-sensors whitelist

in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/HTC/HTCSENSOR/Gsensor/Whitelist
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
i'm also having this problem once in a while, doesn't report because i don't find a way to replicate it.

But i can't find album in the reg folder you provided, is it that the name is not "album" ?:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
in my case the name was exactly "album". it is second from the top, right after "AdobeReaderLE"
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
hmm, my first entry is calculator, don't even have adobeReader. Anyway thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
I backup rotation white list with TD2 Tools. This entry must have been from previous ROMs which I used.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] uberto.costanzo:
Hi Prabhat, thancs for your rom is possible please have footprint cab ?

thancs sorry for my english
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] uberto.costanzo:
Soory Prabhat, is possible change language in italian in this rom?

thancs
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi,

Having the footprint tab is no big deal. But if you see how footprint works then you can also see that the footprint will not work as expected in Topaz/Diamond2. Also I never seen the tab in stock ROM either ;(.

No problem abt English... as long as some one understand what you wanted to express that is more than enough :).

Also recently I have no plan to cook other than WWE... may take some time dude. Sorry for not able to help on this regard :(.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] husty84:
Very nice ROM. I like stock design. Prabhat, do you implement XDA_UC for the automatic import all settings after flash new version of ROM? Currently I am using Energy Reference ROM because XDA_UC is present.

I found only three bugs/glitches:

1. In Sound and notifications settings cannot set flash led at missed call or SMS, options is grey

2. In HTC dialer is ugly icon on left softkey (NRGZ solved this by text "All people", your left softkey is cut out).

3. Weather tab is slow (only when sun is shining)

Question: Is manila CFC compressed? Try it while not.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Very good ROM

After running this ROM for a time, I think that this one it the best I seen till today. Thank you very much!

During this period I did not find any issues except with .Net, that some programs would have errors. I think that may be here is the solution?

Anyway this ROM will stay a long wile on my phone, thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi, Thanks for all your input and feedback.

Reg XDA_UC: I never used that. Personally I prefer to have all my CAB in SD Card and install of my own :). I do same for PC as well even if we can have post build events. Any how I will try to see if having this will have any help to my rom users. *** PS: This consumes memory :(.

Answers:

1) Sound & Notification: That is by design. Any how I will upload a CAB for Notification Enhancements in few min and that should give you what you wanted.

2) Dialer: The button looks good to me :) and that does not has FULL Text only because to give space for the middle show/hide keyboard toggle button.

3) Weather Tab: As design. I will looks at this to see if I can do anything :confused:

Manila: Need to look at this.

Thanks again for all you input.

Hi, Thanks for feedback :) and happy to hear about this :).

Reg. .NET: What kind of error for what app you get? BTW the solution that you pointed looks good and I will do some research on that as well.

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Enhancement: Notifications

Hello,

Please use the attached CAB to enable enhanced notification including LED notifications for PhotonROM.

*** Thanks husty84 for pointing on this ***

Note: Do a SoftReset after you install the CAB.

The Enhancement

By default the LED flash notification is disabled in ROM. After you install the attached CAB below notification enhancements, including LED flash, will be enabled to select from.

- Messaging: New Email Message

- Messaging: New Text Message

- Phone: Missed Call

- Phone: Voice Mail

Note: This will be included in my NEXT Release.

Thanks.

Hi prabhat, next version will you release with ROM Based 29020?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Hi prabhat!

When I run "AppToDate" I get error "NullReferenceException" with lots of text. Changing the .net version didn't help in this case, but it's good to point to right version anyway.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Currently I am testing new builds and I will surely go for those only if I feel those are better. You will always get better build with this ROM :).

OK Thanks for the input. I will look into that. I hope the solution that you pointed is working for this and your are good now ?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TD2IN:
Is there any other mirror to download, as it seems I am not able to get from mediafire :(.

Also is there a new update coming with 29020?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Try again it should be working. If you still face difficulty you can grab from 4shared as well.

Reg. 29020: I am testing the build, and if that is good I will surely publish the ROM with 29020.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TD2IN:
Ok Thank you for the link... I am downloading now and see how it goes.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
Battery consumption.

After testing this ROM for few weeks, I can say with confidence that running on this ROM consumes about 25% more battery then running on "Dutty's cream 4". Most change is at standby: with Dutty's ROM phone lying on table would consume 0.4% per hour, while now I have consumption of 1.1% per hour. Consumption during call seems to be about same.

I'm not 100% sure that it's the ROM, but I can't find any other thing changed.

I'm still not going back as this ROM more stable and bugs free.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] prabhat:
Hi ilyadan,

Thanks for your analysis and feedback. I appreciate this.

I will see what might be causing the battery consumption during standby and update the ROM soon with its new release using new SYS.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TD2IN:
Thanks for the details... I am new to this world and tried 3 ROMS in last week and to me this looks better (close to original ROM and stable) and I am running this on my new device :).

When we will get new rom with the new build?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] papinho:
I think it's advisable to recalibrate the battery after a ROM flash.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ilyadan:
I'm not new to flashing ROMs. I did fully discharge and fully charge the battery at least 4 times + few times unintentionally. I didn't do any special "charge with phone "off" and remove battery" procedures as it always proved to have same effect as full discharge + charge. At this point I'm pretty sure that battery drain is substantial. I'm not sure that it's ROM's fault, but as I wrote I can't find any other reason.

Edit: Just as a thought, when new ROM will be out, I'll run it with minimal software pack, and test it again as minimal as possible. Just to eliminate that I could change something.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] vyis:
this figure looks unbelievable, getting 10+ days of standby? While i'm not sure whether it's possible for a 1100mAh battery to last that long when purely standby, but the battery indicator are usually not accurate (or should i say the system doesn't update in time).

i always got different values after a restart. (which is not marginal as can be due to high loading during startup)
