donut contact photos help please!! - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently changed from the cyanogen donut rom to the dwang donut rom because the cyanogen one was kind or buggy anyways that aside, on the cyanogen rom when viewing the contacts in the native contact list you can see the pictures for the contacts. i like the dwang rom better but it doesn't display the contact pictures and I really liked that feature, is there a way to use the cyanogen rom contacts list or make the dwang rom show pictures for the contacts? (i would rather make the dwang rom show pictures, but my main concern is making the contact picture viewable natively. can some one please help

Do you have any screen caps from this ROM? Do you know if the FB integratoin works on this one? Do you know if the Photo Album picture orientation issue is there in TF3D tab? Do you know if the Tabs under the picture in Favs in People Tab in TF3d are mapped correctly to the actual number rather than dial the number you have selected while adding the Fav (For ex. You dial work or Home, it still calls the cell if you have selected the cell number while adding the faves).
Sorry too many Q, but since you are posting some one elses cooked ROM with just a download link with No reference to the actual Chef's information.. I am asking you all this with the assumption you have flashed this ROM.
For now I'm testing this rom and for me everything working fine.But I'm not expert
KARMBA wellcome into the best device of HTC,I remember you from the Trinity,wellcome...

I have just flashed to this ROM and played with it for 2 hours here are my feebacks:
This ROM used Rhodium version so new start menu
seetings -->all settings from start menu works fine
-I tried to record a video from htc album, no problem to play it after I don't notice any lag
-Youtube works like a charm no lag
-Adding favorite to people works fine, changing contacts pictures is done without issue only one thing I noticed you may have a black screen for 2 or 5 seconds after selecting the picture for the contact.
-Google Map is not the latest version (this is not a bug) you can still upgrade to the latest one
-I can't complain about the speed of the ROM it looks fast to me
-Synchronisation to exchange server works fine
-Mettings are read by a lady voice when you have a notification.
-TT7 works fine
-Myphone works fine
-TFLO rotation works fine
-Battery usage seems to be good
Problem:
-From HTC Album pictures does not auto rotate
-Home button and back button problem still there
-No Zoom slider when using Opera (It's not a bug it must be related to the version used) but still good to know
What I don't test:
-Checking if this ROM has ring tone problem
KARMBA thanks for sharing your ROM, you've done an excellent job
I will continue to play with it tomorow and will report if any bug
I think I will keep it for a while, no crash during my testing

Thanks for your observations, I ended up flashing it myself and concur with your remarks. It's a full featured ROM, not much removed, hence the size. For Visagdude, it has the same bug with the Fav tabs, only dials the one number regardless of which button you use, otherwise a nice ROM. Not sure that it's as fast as Davide's or HN's, but seems to be less buggy, quite stable and smooth. Think I'll try it for a bit longer.
My 2 pence...
Just tried this ROM for around 30 minutes and it seemed fine however...
* The camera no longer has the 5mp setting and the screen goes white for a few seconds after taking a picture.
* The orientation issue that is in Dutty's 2.1 is in this rom which appears to have the new album.
* Cannot set personal ringtone, only the default ones.
* The Internet tab is not the new one as in the Davideuck v2.
Stopped at this point as it was late and am about to flash back to Dutty's 2.0 ROM. Too many issues with this one.
Hey.. guys.. actually after asking those Qs in the post, I downloaded the ROM and flashed it on the way home from work (I have over 1 hour commute). I played around with it for a while and here are my impressions...
- This is the new Rodhium ROM with the icons Start menu.
- The ROM feels fast and stable.
- Exchange Sync is Good and immediate (No issues)
- Camera I felt works a bit better and faster in taking pictures.
- Front Camera: For the 2nd time in this forum, I have experienced the front camera of my device working and it is AWESOME. While storing "My Contact car" in the Picture if you choose the camera option, the front camera gets activated. The other ROM that has this feature was "onkolog's" lite version. Both these ROMs feel similar except onkolog's ROM has exchange synch issue.
- G-Sensor: This ROM has an app called Gsensor, which gives us 2 simple options Enable G-Sen and Disable G-Sen. Choosing either will result in a soft reset and it works perfect.
- Opera: There is no zoom bar in this ROMs Opera. No issues with Opera.
- No Push Pages for Opera Favs.
- Face Book: No FaceBook integration. It gives the text while saving My Contact card but never gives the option on the next screen.
- TF3D Pictures orientation does not have any issues.
- Speed dail contacts does dails only one number for different tabs like every other Rohdium ROM I have flashed (And I have tried ALL of them
All in all... A very stable and Fast ROM. I have decided to use this over the weekend.
Good Job Chef... Please fix the ones I have mentioned.. this ROM will be very popular.

Wow, did we try the same rom? Did you have 5mp setting in your camera? Could you assign personal ringtones? Did you not encounter any of the issues I raised?

Great ROM
Hi people!
I'm very surprised with this ROM
I flashed my HD last night and until now, this appears to be the most stable ROM with this new Manila interface.
The only bug that I have here is the 3M of the camera, the rest is all OK.
During today I will do more tests to see how he behaves.
Great Job...GREAT ROM

I'm sure we tried the same ROM. I did not chk the 3 mp settings for the camera until you mentioned it. but here is the thing, for the first time I am able to take pictures of my One year old, since he is never steady. I'm evening able to send 'em via email to my friends and family. since I Don't ha ve 3g in the US for this device, 3MP pics really help.
Ring Tones: Yes you are right, cannot assign personal ring tones.
FYI - I'm typing this message from my device .
thanks a lot
very nice work

I'm not sure I get your point as the 5mp camera can be turned down to 3mp,2mp etc in the settings. Either way I'm glad your happy with it.
old start
Been searching, but cant seem to find a way to get the old start menu for programs.
Any info on this?
thx

I am only saying that I am glad that I am able to take decent pics with this ROM of my kids.. which never was possible when I had the 5 MP camera. No doubt the 5 MP camera takes one of the best pictures when the target is steady... But, why would I use a Cell Phone camera... Personally, I would use my Cell Phone camera coz.. its usually always with me and when I want to capture a moment with my family or kids, or want to share something with my friends and family... I would want to use it. Sadly till now the HD camera did not really help me in this aspect. My wife uses an iPhone which has 2 MP camera and her phone takes better pics than my "5MP" HD camera...
I rest my case.

Well said and same case with me too
To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
To show favorites programs page on manila:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000
This will revert new Manila with old Start Menu.....

Jachero vs Cyanogen

So im currently running JACHero 2.7.3 and its amazing! I love all the widgets, but i really cant afford for my phone to be locking up on calls and still having some Force close issues. ive tried reinstalling it near 4 times already. I have a class 6 card, tried 32 mb swap and 64 mb swap, and have an 8 gig card. If it just hung going from email or text id be ok but i cant really be missing calls.
so my question is, whats the difference between JACHero and Cyanogen. From what i understand Cyan doesnt run rosie (which i dont really have a clear understand what that is). But i was looking in the homescreen page and it looks like Cyans' rom can still use the widgets and most people say it runs much faster.
Can anyone confirm, and update me on the situation. thanks in advance!
Um you have a lot of reading to do my friend. JACHero ROM is based on the Hero phone made by HTC. It has nearly 100mb more RAM (memory) than the g1 so of course it will run slower. Hero ROMS are almost 20mb more in size than cupcake ROMS. Cyanogen's ROMS are heavily optimized cupcake ROMS that are built for speed. It's not possible to port over the widgets without porting over Rosie/Sense UI. Sense/Rosie requires alot of the HTC frameworks and unless someone can recode them and use Google's frameworks porting them is impossible. If you want a quick speedy ROM with lots of cool features go with Cyanogen. He includes the HTC Camera, exchange mail, and I *think* HTC Music. You can also flash lots of cool themes like Kspec Customs by brandenk and some other goodies too. Most theme devs are making cyanogen-compatible themes because most of the community has flocked to cyanogen's speedy speedy ROMS. If you want a rather bloated but "prettier" ROM go with Hero. The lag you are seeing is probably from having too many widgets running on the home screen. Hope that long description helped I suggest reading the OP of both JACHero and Cyanogen's ROMS. You'll learn alot more there.
Cyanogen is probably the fastest rom to date. Rosie is basically the user interface that you see. The menu tab at the bottom, all the widgets, basically the architecture of the system. Meh I won't go into details since i'm not a person who makes ROMs. But after using JACHero and Cyanogen, I'd stick with cyanogen based on speed, reliability, battery life, and being able to use different themes other than hero.
If I were you, make a nandroid back-up of your current stable ROM and just flash to a cyanogen rom and see how it works for you. Try it out for a day or 2. If you're like me, you really don't need to charge the g1 for a couple days.
Google ION and Cyanogen are the two best ROMS out on XDA for the G1.

Great question about porting apps/programs back and forth though roms

Ok I been reading these forums for quite some time now over and over I'm always reading that this here feature or that app can't be add to that Rom because it needs to be a Google or HTC Rom. For example the IM app can't be added to any HTC Rom do to the frame work and other stuff but can easily be installed on the Google Roms. My question is shouldn't we be able to take a lot of features/apps of these HTC Roms and and with a few libs and build on another HTC build. Example. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.2h shouldn't I be able to take features/apps/libs from hero and port some things over or vice versa? I'm just asking cause I love 5.0.2h cause its stable and the features are one of a kind flake the zoom on the camcorder no othee Rom has it that ive seen but I love the contact sync with Facebook that hero has and some other things. Id k could just port them over to each other it would be a great Rom can it be done they both HTC roms ?
Just bout every rom now has zoom for the camcorder and camera. I haven't found a rom that doesn't.
I dont remember it on the hero rom, the cupcake adp roms ( i didnt try jf's) i just flash back from ion which didnt have it, haykuro's 5.0.2g didnt have it, i mean i can go on for days. They didnt have zoom for the camcorder i have videos i have made but back to the question please. If you not going to post an answer you can keep your 2 cent and move to the next post and waste your time there thank you.
i like your question and idea, i hope u actually get some constructive feedback now instead of hearing how this that or this..good lookin out

Thanks alot man for the support I was just reading how some people took the Exchange emailing app/libs from the Rogers Rom and put it on their phone so there's got be quite easy to take features from hero and maybe even donut (if its HTC) and put them on my 5.0.2g

I'm on hero and have zoom, been on the dudes build (cupcake) and that has zoom. I mean I can go on for days to. And to answer your question as long as its the same based rom (htc or google) you should be able to port over.
Ok well if its so easy as people say then im wondering why people are having such a hard time porting over apps widgets, programs, etc from hero (not rosie). I would like to have the text, stock, weather widget, the contacts that sync with facebook, the browser with flash, and many more "hero" features on 5.0.2h. I mean they all htc frame work and i know some programs depend on the frame work of the rom but there has to be a easy way around it for non developers like me and others. Also if someone does know of a way can you show steps in the terminal emulator I'm in the hospital and don't have my laptop with me

The stuff you want ported over can't be done yet. If you want the weather widget they have one that looks like it but not the same.

How to Reset Facebook Contact Pictures

Hey there
I was trying a lot of different ROMs for my Blackstone the last month and I always used PIM Backup to save my contacts and my calendar. I tested some of duttys 6.5 LEO Rom but decided to go back to his final 6.1 ROM (V4.3) because this one was allways working great for me.
It still works like a charm and is rock stable but the Facebook contact Pictures get not updated. I wonder if I can completly clean this picture "cache"?
I flashed several times and it didn't solve the problem. So I think there must be a registry entry or a folder which I can delete to get rid of the old pictures or even start from scratch with adding pictures (manually or by facebook)
Thx for your help

Replacing the original Contacts and SMS interface

I just got a second hand Touch Pro and flashed an official 6.1 ROM obtained from htc.com on it. I managed to change a lot of the disgusting interfaces, but I couldn't find a solution for SMS and Contacts.
I was wondering, are there ways to somehow change the interface of those without flashing my ROM? I know apps like Easy Contact and stuff, but they don't seem to be fully replaceable (as in, Easy Contact will show up in the "Contacts" button in TF3D instead of the original Windows Contacts)
I know I'm asking for a question that I'm pretty sure everybody would ask. I swear though, I searched for the whole day but I could sadly find nothing related, so... help me out a little bit here?
Thanks in advanced!
sms to be
just search for sms skins i found some on this site the other day and they look way better
.
the lattest energy rom
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751
in its SMS its like the iphones with the blue and green speech bubbles
also it makes the phone alot faster with no lag
Thanks for the recommendations, but I don't think i really want to flash my ROM right now...
Are there any Contact skins?
