Is this one of the clean roms or one of the PDAVIET roms? What all is in this rom? I tried Orwell's rom and PDAVIET's, I am not really satisfied with either of them, too many bugs for me.
You can find what you want by googling the name of the known versions...... like viet.... or (you get it)

I agree, tell me more about these "bugs"! I'm running a custom Orwell that kicks major ass myself on 4 8125's with very little problems (which don't seem to happen if they reboot their PDA's daily)

I have taken to powering down the phone for the night and guess what..no problems. Even if you leave the phone on 24/7 you should still reset once a day shoot I do it to my workstation everyday before I leave work why should the phone be any different.

or you can just put a decent rom lime Molski`s and never reboot... it depends wether you want to use your PPC or experiment.
I admint, i also cannot hold myself and at least once a week i put some new rom and fight with it...
wm6
i have installed the final aku 2.3 from molski.
on top of that i installed the clean aku 3.0 (aka xbow)
it is running very very smooth.
installed this configuration on 4 other wizard and all off them work perfect.
Somehow the original request has been lost. You can find the files by google for the following.
1. PDA and a place of war in Asia
2. The last name of the author of animal farm + the year of the appl2 2c.
Have fun

Luxury! We used to dream of flashing once a week!
And, as nice as Marc's ROM's are, one has to reboot. Actually I think that not reseting your PDA daily, as your PC, is silly. But that's just me. (who makes money from people that don't want to reboot their PC )
And wuz wid all tha smileys?
I've asked this a few times but to no avail. It's not anyone's problem but mine but I don't know how to fix it.
I've only done two mods to the phone.
The disabling of the auto-attach.
And the Boost TFL3D Performance mod#1 on the mod list.
My problem is simple.
The phone lags....
For example, when you click the people icon and then click your contact list, the damn phone takes forever to pull up on the screen.
The reason I sold my Touch Cruise is because this phone had a faster processor.
Please, can anyone tell me how to increase the speed of this slow azz phone?
If I can't do anything about it, I'm buying an iphone or something else.
Thanks much,
Mark
Certainly the best way to speed up the phone is to flash a custom ROM to it. There are many out there that are MUCH faster than the stock ROMs. I highly recommend Dutty's V1.2 rom, but there are certainly others.
Marky Marky Read read mate first
I have owned most HTC phones and after tweaking this is my fave and fastest so far...
Firstly what what ROM version are you using?
First post. Glad to meet u all.
I had official Vodafone spanish ROM until yesterday. My last phone was a QTEK s100, so no Wireless, no GPS, no Gsensor, no light sensor, no WM6.1, but it was fine, speed was OK. Diamond had poor speed compared to S100.
I flashed with the new official ROM from HTC and it seems a new phone. Try it.

Cool, I highly recommend flashing to Duttys ROM 1.2 at the Mo 1.3 should be with us in the next few days - I understand your frustration m8. I have been using these toys for years and they always need tweaking (but thats become half the fun)
What I will say is that you will se significant increases in speed from 1.37 which in honesty I thought was ****e and bug ridden so no surprises at your dissapointment. We are still a little way away from the perfect ROM but every time gets closer - rest assured. I think you will be pleasantly surprised after flashing to Duttys.
If you need anything else just shout shout.
NB. enable all the power management functions in schapps config and your battery will also last a hell of alot longer.

Sorry my bad. I was referring to the thread starter
The latest ROM is 1.93 - and even without additional tweaks, it speeds up the diamond significantly. Make sure you flash that before tweaking and than complain again.

Thanks Ta, just an update.... I installed (and donated) to Dutty's new ROM. All I can say is THANKS... Great install, great ROM, works fantastic.
Now if I could just change the "video call" softkey for "contacts" in the phone screen, I'd be super happy.
Thanks again,

Go here and download the softkey manager(it's free) http://www.fantasticbytes.com/downloads.php (make sure you tick the "HTC Diamond Mode" checkbox on the main screen).
Doesn't that soft key manager just change your today screen softkeys? I think the OP was referring to the dialer screen soft keys...

Can't help you but hope you're sure other phones will be faster. I thought with the 500 MHz processor in my Mio A701 it would be very fast compared to other WM phones at the time just to realise they were all slow.

Everything working like a swiss watch over here.
Speed is no longer an issue, and I have adapted to the battery life cylces. Which is not that bad anyhow.
Overall Im very Happy with the Gem.
Any one feeling the same love toward the Diamond???
Cheers fellassss!
PS: Please keep the thread Clean everyone. Specially anything that smells like rotten applessss.
This is about the Jewel not rottenn appless.
You mean that with teh new update the phone is much much better?
I would be waiting the verdict on the update, in order to decide if to but the diamond or not

I just upgraded to Panosha Shine On 0.9 Light ROM and Radio v1.00.25.05... bunch of tweaks found here at XDA and the jewel is AWESOME...
So Here's my hand!!

Yes, another big hand up here. The Diamond is an amazing phone. Usually I loose interest for a new gadget after a couple of weeks. Now, after a bit more than a month, I'm still very happy with my Diamond. It runs smooth... (using SwiftBlade's latest rom (v5) and some XDA tweaks)
more than happy

As much as I researched, and badmouthed the iphone.. and bought a htc diamond. I actually tried an iphone yesterday and was blown away by the interface. The touch screen is so much more sensitive, you dont need to apply any pressure. I have noticed on my diamond i have to apply more pressure in the corners than the middle of the screen.. it gets annoying. As much as I hate to say it I am starting to regret my decision to be anti-apple. I am running elite 3 rom with spb mobile shell, and yes it is smooth.. but it is nowhere near as smooth as the iphone.

Why should i move to an iphone forum when i own a htc diamond? You dont understand how much I hated the idea of the iphone... I convinced many people not to get one, I also have a huge list of reasons not to get one. My point is yes I thought my diamond was running smooth as silk, then I tried the iphone which i hated so much.. and THAT really is smooth as silk, now when I use my diamond it feels sluggish in comparison. I think a lot of the people saying their diamond is smooth havn't tried an iphone. I still prefer the diamond because it can run background processes, mind you.
Theres no need to be a ****, post count dosnt mean anything. Maybe you should take some lessons in grammar if you're going to accuse people of not being able to read.
Anyone got a Ignito yet? If so could you let us know whats on it, share experiences, what ROM etc..
Ye came this morning.
Firstly, stupid O2 software, really laggy and giong through some of the guides I can't find device name ROM etc and has been dumbed down and crippled. Im probably over reacting, but evenwith a hard reset it is still here.
Still a noobie bu tneed to wait for more experienced people to post how they have flashed another ROM, Im not experienced and don't want to screw it up.

Its flat, matt backed.
And yes Opera, Youtube, Windows Live & MSN are preinstalled.
And im my opinion the O2 firmware is great.
Ive installed a tweak program from this forum, and an autorotate in any prog tweak. With those im more than happy.
Got mine on friday.
Really pleased flat back, and after installing a couple of tweaks touchflo looks like the HTC version and is working a lot more speedy.
Only thing I'm struggling with is lack of quickgps (which is on my friends official HTC Touch Pro) getting a gps lock seems to take far too long. I've tried all the threads about installing it on this forum with no luck, any ideas on this would be great. Otherwise I'll just put up with it.
I changed to WM 6.5 last night. I had the AT&T 6.1 rom before.
With both ROMs, my camera is just black. Doesn't show anything at all (not even darkly.
Any ideas? It's probably not software if it doesn't change when I update the ROM right?
I don't care for 6.5 much, so I'm going to try another 6.1 rom in a minute...
Thanks
Your radio ROM is incorrect for whatever hardware/ROM revision you are using. Experiment around with different radios until you get one that allows your camera to work.
Nice of you to search for the oldest problem out there.

I did search. Now, when I searched "radio rom camera problem" (after the 1st response) I got tons of hits. When I searched "8925 camera is black only" I got nothing relevant. It's new to me.
Well, oddly enough, I encountered a much more serious problem with the ROM I was using, so I went back to 6.1 (I don't like 6.5 for some reason)
After loading the AT&T 6.1 rom, the camera works...
Thats because the ATT ROM has an included radio, which evidentally is one that works with your hardware revision and enables the camera.

Ok- So Radio rom can be flashed with or without the OS rom? Good to know.
The radio rom has to match the hardware? Or the OS?
I'd like to give the WM6.5 rom another try, if I can get everything to work

A couple years late to the Kaiser party, but I still love my Kaiser and it my not be as flashy and my be a tick slower and may not have the spacious screen that the HD2 has, but with a custom rom and a little tweaking, it does everything An HD2 does, and I love my keyboard.
Windows Mobile isn't dead, it was just taking a long vacation while Steve and Bill and the others were playing the " fat cat " billionaire roles to the hilt while the company went down the toilet.
Hopefully Windows Phone 7 series is the start of a resurgence that will integrate Windows, Windows Mobile, Zune OS and XBox into a fully integrated powerhouse, before it is too late.
Maybe Apple overtaking them is exactly what they need.

It was also on the rom flashing tutorial
7. After I flash a Rom I dont have any sound in calls and the camera is black
The Radio has to match the version of Rom you flash i.e. WM6.1, an incorrect Radio will give sound and camera problems. Read The Ultimate Radio Thread to find a Radio that matches the Rom there are lots to try on there if one doesnt work then try another.
