Bugs:
Comm Manager Skin is messed. Install This - CommManager Fix

HTC Calculator link on the start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )

Solution:
htcCalculator was already installed, the issue was only that the link on the start menu was not connected to the actual program. So you just go to Device/Windows and scroll until you see htcCalculator in there. After that hold down on it and copy. Navigate to Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete the HTC Calculator shortcut that is already there. Then just paste shortcut and if you want you can rename the shortcut to HTC Calculator instead of htcCalculator.

Windows Media Player link on start menu doesnt work ( found a fix )

Solution:
The same procedure as 1 except the file you are looking for in Device/Windows is wmplayer and you can delete Windows Media shortcut from Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and then paste this one and rename it to Windows Media.

If Opera 9.5 Beta is closed using the x button in the upper right instead of using Menu > exit > ok the widgets menu comes up and you cant reopen Opera without either a soft reset or using a dask manager to end the opera9.exe process.

Solution:
The only fix for this is using the Menu > Exit > ok instead of the x there isnt a fix that i have found other than that.

The default lock option is not 6.5 default; it is the old device lock from 6.1 ( found the fix.. this may have been outlined somewhere and I overlooked it )

Solution:
If you go to Start > Settings > Lock > Display Tab > change to windows default instead of windows classic and it will be the 6.5 lock press ok and you'll be all set.

I won't be held responsible for anything you do to your phone!!!!!!!!!

put what on the phone? the rom? if so no you will have to take a look at ym signature below and follow the flashing guide and you need to unlock your device also.... you can find a video tutorial made on flashing the diamondand touch pro in the tutorials area as well.

[inkjammer]

I have that page pulled up 1.download the ruu.zip attachment
2.unzip to your desktop
3.then in the newly created RUU directory add the rom of your choice - (copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to desktop\RUU)
4.Place phone in bootloader mode (power button while holding volume down button)
5.open the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6.follow the RUU on screen instructions from there

I do not see a nbh file it is a rar file and when I click on it, it will not let me extract it and yes I do have win rar and win zip on my computer.

Alright, been running this for about a week and it's going pretty good. Speed is good, no lockups, pretty impressive.

Having said that.....I've ran into these 3 issues.

1. While in call, my buttons are....missingish? It looks like this:


2. After installing boom blox, I get this message when trying to run it:


3. I can run opera once. 2nd time I try and run, it acts like it is opening...but doesn't, only the top title bar changes....like this:

Did you always have these issues or is it something recent?.. if you always have, id ask you if you pulled your battery and did a hard reset after flashing, doing up clears up a lot of weird randomness...
If it happened recently and wasnt always this way Id say it something you installed or some registry tweaks gone wrong or any number of things, in which case it may be time for you to back everything up and hard reset, to clear out all the weirdness...

yeah i would have to say the same since i have been running starrom 2 since release and havent experienced any of those troubles.... on the titanium version myself.

[xxdbkxx]

Thanks guys.....guess I'm heading for the hard reset....

Yes, I did take out the battery and hard reset TWICE after flashing.

copy paste from the first post of every page
"If Opera 9.5 Beta is closed using the x button in the upper right instead of using Menu > exit > ok the widgets menu comes up and you cant reopen Opera without either a soft reset or using a dask manager to end the opera9.exe process.

This sucks for me as well cause for me its force of habit to hint the x button but a soft reset will fix it.


Ive tried both roms and I end up using titanium on both, Ive had a progressive problem with both from battery life to freeze ups. I think I put of a static charge or something cause vista crashes once a day at least haha. My boy is hooking me up with the D/\SH dust and everything will run like magic woo hoo.
Im going to flash titanium verson again and hope for the best.

I have 100% battery in the task bar but under settings it shows only one red box like its about dead. I let it fully charge before I falshed again so I guess Ill see what it does by tomorrow.

[only1penny]

you have to go to stasrt/settings/personal/input and turn off predictive text under second tab on bottom and than you can also go to regular compact qwerty keyboard instead of fng keyboard and make sure not on t-9

i can turn it off for fng keyboard and comp qwery, but not on the "phone keyboard" i go to word completion (second tab) and nothing is checked. i tried to check the "suggested words" box, than texted, than unchecked the box, then texted again but no change???

no, i did that also.

[smw]

Heres a screen shot of what mine looks like in order to turn it all off. Just like D/\SH has stated but I dont worry about anything but the word completion. Hope it helps.

[smw]

I still have 100% battery after 12 hours this cant be right, may never have to charge again haha.
I was wondering if there is anyway to have visual voice mail and have it to where you can scroll through it on titanium like you can do with all the other tabs in titanium.

--------- New Post Merged on 11/6/2009 at 10:33:34 --------

Just got a text with battery showing a hundred percent and it shut down. Going to charge battery up and see what happens, Ill reflash one more time.

[angiekay]

ok, I've read through this ENTIRE thread, and maybe I'm missing it, and this maybe a stupid question, but I'm getting a TP in a few days, and I'm doing my homework in advance...........

where are the Carrier Cabs for this ROM? and I assume as with all the other roms there are a couple, in order to make the MMS work?

Thanks for all your reviews guys, seems this will be the ROM my TP will get!!!!:yahoo:

I got you covered bro, this happened to me on ATR. Try sliding your phone open in a message and on the hard keyboard hit the green function(FN) button and then push the space button and a little popup should appear and choose the ABC option and the "suggested words" shouldn't pop up anymore...let me know if that works

[smw]

Wow just flashed on a dead battery, and it fixed the battery display problem I was having that a hard reset would not.

thx a bunch that seemed to work!

[ebuzz]

Decided to give this ROM a try, but I have a few questions:
1) I downloaded the TF3D version b/c it said that it contained both TF3D and Titanium. Don't know if I'm going to use TF3D much so if I disable it, does that mean the Titanium remains? (not sure I even know what Titanium is).
2) Does this ROM have the .netframe work loaded in? (didnt see it).
3) When I opened COM Manager, my WIFI is greyed out (I did install the Topaz comm_manager cab?
Thanks!

--------- New Post Merged on 11/6/2009 at 05:55:42 --------

One more thing: the calculator link worked for me, but not the WMPlayer. So when I try to fix it should I copy just the wmplayer file or the WMPlayer.exe file?

[tlpalmer01]

the titanium is an interface and yes its there..
i believe net 3.5 is written in..

[D/\SH]

yes and yes..... titanium will display as windows default.

[ebuzz]

Thanks, but what about the fact that my WiFi and Data connection tabs in the Comm Manager are greyed out, and do I just copy just the wmplayer file or the WMPlayer.exe file?

[D/\SH]

did you apply the comm manager patch as stated in the first post and throughout the thread? and wm player.exe wwhat are you talking about......

[smw]

The calculator works fine on the tf3d version but not on the titanium. I found that using titanium it is easier to just use the music tab and not worry about going to the start menu. Its cool that when its playing music you can swipe left or right to cycle through songs.
The whole copy and paste fix didnt work for me so I instead deleted it from start up and just installed the calculator cab and all is well. Not saying it is wrong probably user error but this worked for me.

Yes, I appled the "topaz_comm_manager.cab" and when I use the file explorer to scroll to "Device/Windows/" I see two items, one says WMplayer the other says wmplayer and has the media player pic next to it (that's the .exe file I think), I'm not sure which one I copy and past to the "Start Menu/Programs" folder.

--------- New Post Merged on 11/6/2009 at 08:59:52 --------

OK, well, IDK what happened, but the comm manager problems seems to have fixed itself, so now that issue is solved.

you will want the exe..... the lnk would be used in different circumstances and has to be used in instance of office, calculator and other built in apps.

Thanks, but I think I spoke too fast in my last post. One minute the Comm manager was working fine, both wifi and data connection tabs worked, not only the wifi works and the data connection is greyed out.
What gives?

well after the installation of the cab did you soft reset....... something like that would need a soft reset for it to take effect. you could also ty a reflash in case it was a bad flash.

Sure will. Just so I'm clear, I do a reflash, remove the battery, install the fix, then soft reset.
About the hard reset after flashing, you know how after the fashing finishes the phone resets, calibrates and goes thru its set up? Well, I assume that you have to let it do all that first, then remove the battery and hard reset, right?

naw you can hard reset at anytime.... ido after i place the battery back in.... press and hold the power button, volume down, and the center key while soft resetting to get into bootloader.

So you can innterup the setup process after the flash and just remove the battery? BTW there's a pagepool.exe file in the ROM. I assume that runs automatically with the flash and does not have to be run separtely?

U only use that if you want to change the pp setting, but usualy what the rom developer sets it as is good enough... i suggest leaving it alone till u have more experience

pagepool i would wait until you get a little more experience before messing with that.... and for the other after the flash is complete i take the battery out for aminute place it back in and without booting up do a hard reset by pressing and holding the power and volume down buttons while soft resetting with the stylus.

OK gonna try it again tonite. Couldn't this weekend, was at the DMB show at SPAC.
Hey, I like TF3D, but really intent on using a mobile type shell. So if I'm gonna do that, would it pay for me to just install the Titanium version and not the TF3D to save space or resources?

if you arent going to use touchflo 3d than go without it since it will save you a lot of hassle and space on your device.
