I am not responsible for any damage that you may cause to your phone! Before flashing make sure your phone is
unlocked and you know how to flash.

A big thanks to Juicy & Calcu since these ROMs were built using their kitchens

This ROM is not intended to be the fastest or the greatest.
My main objectives with the ROM are to provide a coherent user experience,
to provide a good base for you build on (I am only including the apps I believe are useful for everyone)
and to make it as stable as possible.
most of the work I have done to it is just skinning applications and the OS.

KNOWN ISSUES WITH TOPAZ MANILA!!!!
Facebook engine doesn't work
When in music library the last 2 songs are hidden
Cannot access clock settings by clicking on the clock on the homepage
If a favorite contact has multiple numbers, when you hit the icons below their picture it will call their first number listed (email and txt buttons do work)
When replying to a message through tf3d it will still save the message as "unread" till you select the message in the "all messages" option
When selecting a city in the weather tab the letters are scrunched up, but this doesn't affect usability
G-sensor in settings tab does nothing
"Remove" program tab softkey doesn't change. when you are done removing programs just hit remove again to stop it.
Various Landscape tabs may not be resized
There are probably some I have forgot...
If you don't like the glitches, don't use the topaz version!
These glitches CAN NOT be fixed till the released topaz manila is ported over!!

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD

What is included in the UC folder and setup

AKToggleWifiCab.cab-a toggle button to turn Wifi on/off
Badboy8813 Audio Fix- (Full Volume).cab-Turns up the volume on the device
Diamond Tweak 0.5.3_English.cab-A handy utility to tweek your device

KinomaFreePlayInstaller.cab-Kinoma FreePlay-media player, youtube, podcast downloader

TaskFacade4.cab-Visual task switcher w/different themes. Great way to multitask!!!

How to make it work:
Unzip the folder and extract it to the root of your internal storage (after you extract it the directory for the folder should be "Internal Storage\UC1"
Now open the folder up and place the SDConfig text document in the root of the internal storage.

Now after you flash or hard reset it should install the cabs you want.
Please note that if you install all the cabs or add more to the list it may take a while to run through the customization process, this is normal.
If you want to remove cabs just delete them from the folder and delete the entry in the sdconfig.txt.
Or if you want to add cabs just add them to the folder and add the appropriate entries in the sdconfig.txt

This looks quite nice.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

is it me or is the link messed up?

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Hmmmm it worked for me...I was having problems downloading some of calcu's files from the same host tonight, it might be their server acting up.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

oh ok,ill keep tryin

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

i havent been paying attention,but is the data going to stay active all the time cause of the curtain?

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Great!! great. I'm so happy that some more people are starting to cook ROMs for the good ol' diamond.
Yours looks very nicely polished, i'll be sure to giver a whirl and I'll keep you posted.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Does this ROM have UC/SDAutoRun built-in?
Since it's a very clean rom, it would be nice to be able to add our own programs easily.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Flashing this right now. Good to see another Diamond ROM builder!

Does this have the battery life tweaks and fast charge dll?

Thanks.

it does have the battery life tweaks, but i didn't include the fast charge dll. I have the file, but I remember people getting all up at arms about people posting it without no2chem's permision. I haven't personal spoken to him to see if it was okay for me to include the file, but I can look in to it.

I thought caclu's rom and kitchen were UC compliant? (I personally don't use UC) If not, I'll be sure to add UC. I know there is Sashimi too. Which one do most people use?

So far this is running really smooth, I'm liking it a lot! Not sure I'm a big fan of the Alltel blue but it's growing on me. I do need to find a cab for RSS hub because I do use that a lot.

Great job!
Thanks.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

well here is the RSS hub cab. I use it a lot too, but I just have it installed to my internal storage instead. That way when I flash 3 or 4 times a week my channels and stories are still stored on the internal storage and I don't have to re-enter all the channels. or you can try using viigo beta (the main reason I didn't use IE6 was that viigo beta isn't compatible with it). it stores all your channels and stories in the cloud and it has a pretty slick user interface.

I have been flashing a lot lately myself but I have my channels on the storage card so I just need to load the program back. I tried viigo a while back but it seemed really slow for me?

It's the VistaHide Battery Gauge.

that's the vistahide battery meter. I believe it can be removed as well if you don't like it but I will defer to tersoth.

you can remove it. just remove the .ink from the startup folder in windows ( use total commander or your preferred method to get there)

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Nice looking ROM.....I think you should name it SothRom!!!

It's UC compliant if you select SDAutorun. [I think... now I'm going to have to go check.]

Checked... I don't see it there. So maybe you're right. I'll have to give it a try!

Is there a reference for UC? I use Sashimi now but am not married to it.

If by "reference" you mean some instructions...
there is a whole thread over at XDA. You basically just need to read through the first few posts.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

You can use both UC and Sashami in the same rom. I personally like sashimi, because I'm lazy, and I'd rather drag and drop than write sdconfig text. Also, I can bypass it if I want to.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

uploaded last night and flashed from Groove's roms So far so good. It seems very stable for being the 28 sys files... The first one that I have flashed that has been stable...
Thanks,

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

I've been running this for a over a day now and am very impressed. Very stable, Battery life is great and love the overall feel of the ROM.

Only had one issue so far and that is when I click a web link from RSS Hub it launches Opera and goes to the search start page and that is it. Does not go to the link?

Any thoughts?

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Tersoth ... really like your work, lots of personal touches. One thing you might consider, is including the updated SIP package that fixes the input feedback. Thanks for your work!

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

yeah I've had this problem too, the only temp fix i found was to set skyfire as my default browser. I'm not sure if it due to 15954, I'm going to test it out with another version of opera.

Hi Guys, you may want to install this cab as well which will turn off Opera as the default browser. Then if you decide you want Opera back, just uninstall it. I found this installing the new tcpmp player and this was part of the process enabling ie to open sites rather than Opera. Hope this helps.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Hello Tersoth,

Flashed your rom and I agree, its very nice. =D> Seems very fast and stable which is great. One thing I noticed is the data bars on my phone are not turning off but I'm pretty sure data is not still on. It just isn't showing that it's off. Just wanted to see if you noticed this. Also is there a way to remove the curtains so you can put utilize full wallpapers? Lastly I tried to remove the vistahide gauge but it keeps telling me I can't. Using total commander to try to remove it from windows>startup folder. Thanks again.

As for the elimination of the curtains, it's an option in Calcu's kitchen. He or anyone else who cooks there, just needs to uncheck the option in the buildos.

Back when I was using OMJ's rom, he had Vistahide built into it. When I went to delete it, it gave me a file sharing violation. So the only way I could get rid of it (at least not have it start on boot up), was to cut and paste it to my internal storage, and delete it there. I thought that I used Total Commander, but perhaps I just used file explorer. Whatever I used, did the trick, though ...

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Great rom but the black clock on the blue is horrible.

Where can I get a diff clock that wont mess up the hd manilla?

Also voice recorder does not work. No option in the menu when on a call to choose record.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028

Quote:

I believe you can use any clock without it messing up the hd manila (the only one im not sure of is the sprint digital clock).

Thank you for bringing the in-call recorder to my attention, i was just about to update it, but Ill fix it now before i release it tonight.

Re: 3/20/09 TerSoth's ROM v1.0 w/Alltel Manila HD OS 5.2.21028
