rom update - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

hey guys!
ik got a htc diamond and i want to install the new windows 6.5 on it. There are many versions of windows 6.5 i see in the rom development thread.
my question is, which one do you think is best?
thank you!

shhhh you get shouted at if you ask that question because everyone ends up fighting lol
The best i can suggest is read the description for each rom, each cook offers you diffrent things, most of us flash atleast 2 or 3 diff roms a week so try some you will soon find one you like

A HUMBLE REQUEST - We need some new ROM chefs

hi
for ur info we have to my knowledge 4 Rom ches
1. our great tommy34 whos giving us some great ROms(thank god we still have him
2.Ironegle very sad hes upgraded to Iphone 3G
but hes left us giving us the kitchen hes used for his great Roms
3. JadeMan hes just missing dont know if he has upgraded or what
4. Me - cant really put mere here im just a provider of the Pdaviet ROM
thats something any one can do right if not me some one else right
5.RURU - i dont know were he is now
so what we badly need is some new cooks to give us some new ROms
well me im not a techi and im getting too confused in using the kitchen
see below the link were ironegle has given his kitchen
and i suffer from this Craze to flash new Roms( my coined word for this Flashomania ) im sure their are a lot more like me
So i humbly request to any one whos got the skills pls pls cook some ROms so as to satisfy my and others Flashomania

hmm maybe anybody could port that system version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
with this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4215191&postcount=10
to ironeagle's kitchen?
Seems not to complicated but at the moment i haven't the time to try
OK, i've tried to get into the kitchen from ironegle, but its too complicated for me....
second that. tried too, was able to build his old 23001 version (didn't try to flash tho, hehe). downloaded MEGA pack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541625 and checked. the files should be merged with the EXT folder, but the file structure is different. example:
MEGA pack folders:
PACKAGE_MEGA_2DManila
PACKAGE_MEGA_2DManila_0409
...
kitchen folders (EXT\Jade\20771\Jade_External_Packages)
2DManila_1_20_19131530_00\0409
2DManila_1_20_19131530_00\files
...
even if they are probably just needed to be copied in there, I still dunno if there's some registry file to edit. also dunno how to upgrade from the old XIP(?) 23001 to a newer one (too many files/dirs) and even if it builds successfully, I wd be just too scared to try that self-cooked stuff myself!
just takes too much time this s**t and I am already wasting enough..
so, I'd love to see some old cooks helping or new cooks coming over to bring some of the new goodies to us poor little Jade owners. or we all need to buy a new HTC phone asap!

this was also what i was thinking, i own a touch pro but my wife owns a jade and i was thinking of buying her a new phone or il cook some roms for her...
i dont have rom cooking background but ive been reading recently and who knows maybe this reading could help me cook roms for the jade....
though im scared to try what i have cooked, is there anyway i can check the rom without actually flashing it?
cooked a beta rom
guys, i have cooked a beta rom, i dont know yet if its working but i used iron eagles kitchen.....
its xip 23028 sys 23028 wm6.5
ext packages included are merely of the 23001 build of ironeagle, if the beta rom is running then il try updating the packages to the mega one with the new tf2d....
as of now im scared to flash it, anyone who wants to be a beta tester?
disclaimer: i am not responsible to whatever happens to ur phone, flash at own risk
note:
i havent actually flashed it on a phone...
if u can beta test, id really appreciate it.... il start a thread on it... later on, thanks ang more power
hi buddy
its great that u have taken the step i realy apreciate this great try by u but all rom cooks first try it on their phone and then on finding out its ok they release the same no offense if ur not willing to try ur creation tell me who will be willing to take the risk
infact even the Pdaviet Roms i just provide i try to use them first and then give the link to the others

isnt it impossible to destroy the phone with a rom? i mean you always get into bootloader mode and can flash a new one, right?
i dont own the device
but i can try cooking a few ROMs for jade
but i will need a few brave guys to test them out as i cant do it myself
anyone interested in being a guinea pig??
if its fine then you can PM me with what builds etc you need and what apps you want and we can work along
@sheennick
hi
i can see that u do have the expertise in cooking as i see that u have given a few Roms
why not cook one for jade and post it here recent build is 22017
thanks a lot for cumming forward to help us that's very nice of u

well it would be easier if i own a jade but unfortunately its my wife's and she doesnt have a backup phone so i really cant mess with her phone....
and also, i am not fond of flashing via bootloader, so if i mess thngs up, i dunno how and am not excited usng the method...
so i was guessing if someone with expertise in flashing via bootloader, he/she could give it a try snce he/she wont brick the phone coz its a jade rom...

Be patient !!!
Hi all...
All of you have to wait, I'm working on it but too many fixes our Jade needs for using the last 23028 Build.
In this very stable and fast build, Microsoft implement the new "look&feel" for WM 6.5.1, a more user frendly GUI. (so many new bug-fixes for the chefs right now)
And also, all we need a 6.5 Native Kernel for Jade, just for better performance...
Currently I'm using a 6.5 build 23016 ultra fast & stable ROM (0410 ITA Language), no known bugs, but I really wanna use the last build and feature of WM.
After more than one year Manila 2D sucks now, I need something new for my PDA.
And about the Mega OEM, let me say is not so easy, I'm working on it too!!
So, in my opinion you have to wait, be patient, have no sense ask for the last new build available today, you know what I mean: MANY BUGS, A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN THE HTC JADE CUSTOMIZATION, so bad using our Jade in this way !!!!
Anyway, I'm cooking and cooking and cooking.... I'll let you know, providing you a new rom ASAP!
Bye,
SJ

Question About X1 ROM,Flashing etc

Hello guys 1st sorry i know the answers of the questions i will ask are writen in this X1 Forum but the reason to ask you here is because im not X1 User im a Blackstone user and i know how to play with my device.
One friend of mine have X1 he use it around a year and he is still with the Stock Default WM 6.1 witch is very Slow and Bugy also the phone often crash.
I want to ask you can you tell me from your expirience One Good fast and stable ROM for X1? one 6.5 and one 6.1 ?
You will know better because you use this ROM`s if anyone ask me the same question for Blackstone i know the answer.
And also i read about the Flashing Methoud via SD card is 99% the same like for HTC Touch HD just the diference is in the file Name
Can you please tell me with few words witch HARD SPL i need to use to unlock the phone from Stock to WM 6.5
And Do i need to know anything more.. or the procces of flashing is like in the HTC devices.
Im asking you because my friend wana flash him X1 with some better Windows. and i don`t want to crash him phone.
Also for example in our HTC devices i know how to flash Radio Version is the same with X1?
Can anyone tell me one good combination for example this ROM... with this Radio and this Rilphone is good combination i don`t ask for the latest Build i prefer something Fast and Stable.. so he is with the Stock ROM anyway and i know that here will have alot more fast and stable ROM`s for his device
Thank you in advance for the suggestion.

well, most of what you ask is in the sticky section of this thread, but ok, here goes...
hard spl
micro sd method
custom ruu method
I guess that's similar to most HTC devices, though I'm lacking experience there
I prefer valkyrie leo rom (wm 6.5.3, manila 2.5), new UI style (Builds 280**), maybe a little more stable are the old UI style ones (Builds 218**)
about NRGZ roms I don't have to tell you, seeing your signature...
can't give advice on wm6.1 roms though, sorry, as I only use the wm6.5 ones
Radio: I think it best to try different ones, as for me higher versions seem to drain more battery without really improving signal quality, you see in my signature what I finally settled for
but again: that's an individual (geographical) question that in the end only you can answer
hope that helped some

Yes thank you for the Info like i say i know that everything is writen in the forum but better to ask befor to mess something.
So i will flash the X1 but i never have expirience with ROMs for X1 for that reason i prefer something close up to the default stock ROM but to be Fast and Stable i don`t mind if the ROM is WM6.1 also the guy with the X1 is not so...... technical and maybe will be easy for him to not have so big change in the phone the reason to wana flash his phone is because is really very very slow and crash often frize and etc..
So you told me already with ROM u use but its a new Build with the 2.5 Manila and always the old Windows build etc will be light of memory usage and faster stable.. im just looking for one Fast Stable ROM no matter from the Build etc
Thank you
What about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
I mean if i want to install this official Rom`s do i need to the same procedure? or its something diferent

read that Touch X 10.1 (smaberg) and 10.8.* (MrRusch) have good voting
also Phoenix rom (Oobly) is reported to be very fast, all Wm6.1, check them as a start, until further feedback arrives

question about flashing

Hello, i'm kinda new to smartphones and WM flashing and this stuff(never flashed before) so i got my kaiser second hand with the Hyper dragon III(WM6.1) and im not feeling it stable i checked out several ROM's but i don't know since this phone was given to me flashed if Hard SPL is in there and i don't know how to check actually... and if i try to flash it to the phone and it's already there will there be any complications also if any one could tell me a fairly good WM6.5 ROM becouse i just can't make up my mind.
Thank You
All answers for your main questions are in the FAQ >here<.
As for which rom well i recommend jjblasters stable 6.5 release but it's all personal preference. Link to that in my sig if you want it.

Try the different roms and see which one is suitable for your needs, that's why there are so many...made for different people and different tastes enjoy flashing it really does not take that long to load a rom.

Welcome and congrats on the X1,
before answering I would like to inform you that this has been asked I don't know how many times. I have difficulties with big numbers.
A little search and taking advantage of the stickied threads in this forum would have and will provide all required answers. Except for the advice on upgrade.
To use customized roms you have to h-spl your phone (olinex thread, including how to), then you can flash either using ruu or sd method (see biovolt and badwolve reference threads for tutorials and additional information). If you have to go back to stock for e.g. warranty reasons find your country/provider stock rom in badwolve reference thread (pavelx1) and the stock slp in olinex h-spl thread.
Updating is up to you. I personally like 6.5 but many complain about lack of speed, as X1 was never meant for this wm release. Give some roms a try and decide for yourself.
Best
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a
Thanks
Dear Draken,
Really thanks a lot for your nice reply, but as you know that I am new over here and at the same time I've just bought it just before 3 days and as you know that there's a lot of questions, so it's hard for me to check all the comments
Dear .. May you help me on these things:
1- would you to provide me a link for downloading the stock ROM for warranty reasons, and a link to increase sound of ringing tones to be working both in 6.1 and 6.5.
2- Regarding to the flashing of using ruu or sd methods which are better to save time and to save the device .. lol
3- Can you tell me what do I need when I want to upgrade to 6.5 (With Links).
I am really so sorry because of all these questions
Thanks Boss

Trying to help...
1. to revert for warranty reason,
Stock ROM, Stock SPL, Custom RUU
For tutorial and link, read this at point 4: http://ruslyfriend.blogspot.com/2010/09/concise-flashing-rom.html
2. I've read somewhere here, SD Method somewhat is safer to avoid your device from bricking. But RUU is more friendly for me.
3. Read the same tutorial above, I bookmarked the tutorial. It is real concise for beginners or XDA dummy like me.
Dear Mymailx,
I would like really to thanks you a lot too because you've provided me this link
If you don't mind I need two softwares:
1- To increase the volume.
2- Arabic language for the the whole X1, and what I mean for the phone it self, SMS, and for the keyboard.
Really thanks for everyone whom helped me in this nice site
Thanks.

You are welcome,
I can feel how you feel to be newbie here. I'd been newbie too. But never give up.
1. There's a patch called "AudioPara". All you need to do is download the files and move them to \Windows directory or you can install equalizer; HTC audiobooster, but it's not working on speaker.
2. You can have it if you choose proper ROM. Since you're trying to revert to the stock ROM, you can choose the proper stock ROM. Language is inside the SYS which is inside the ROM.
Thanks
Dear Mymailx,
Really, thanks again for your nice information
You know that I feel my self is a noobie .. lol because I've just bought it since just 5 days, and at the time some people told me that don't buy X2 because it's has some problems and there's no arabic language then I the sony ecrisson company stoped selling the X2 because of these things and no one is buying this Mobile, so I said to my self to buy X1, and then I saw this site which talking about how to install MW v6.5 then I started like to know how we can do this move .. lol .. This is my story
Anyway, do you have that link of "AudioPara" patch .. ?!! and I need to install the Arabic language now in WM v6.1, so if you know it just provide me the link, and really I will be grateful to you
By the way, did you installed WM v6.5 in X1, and if you know a good ROM give me the link
Thanks again to you mate
For increasing volume of speaker just install the attached cab
It will shout like hell

AudioPara has been solved by MrBlack'd
About arabic language. forgive me, I was wrong. I finally found that Arab is not supported in WinMo. I dunno know if it's right to believe. But the other way I found that there's a software name "Multilanguage Support Version 3.0" for Wm6.1 that can change your X1's language including Arab.
Unfortunately the download link is obsolete so you need a little search.
For Wm6.5.5 (newest version and build) you can try XPURE ROM by Russell Eclair for X2 interface and 862x and Energy ROM for HTC interface. Choos you like.
