Phew!!! I just read every single post in this thread from start to finish (it took a while). (uh-oh...rant coming on) I must say, it is
really frustrating that the Touch Diamond has such potential to be the best phone out there, hands down - but instead it is a CONSTANT battle of whack-a-mole bugs (not directed toward you, gadget - your ROM is as good (actually better) as any). Worse, my friends & family are losing patience with me spending so much time looking for solutions to these bugs. They don't understand the nature of developing SW - bugs and churn are the name of the game.
Still, at times I too yearn for something that just works. HTC's motto should be: "The Touch Diamond = the anti-iPhone! It just doesn't work." It would sure make my life easier if {the phone rang before the caller's 4th-6th ring; the text was easy to type without a stylus; syncing to more than 1 computer didn't fail due to WM 6.1 bugs (ooh that one sucked); etc. My dad has the same phone but has spent like half an hour learning how to use it...so he's pretty clueless. Helping him is getting nigh impossible. OH well...his loss I guess. I still think this phone is going to be awesome someday!

OK, enough ranting. What I really wanted to say is **1** THANKS for all your hard work Gadget!! If I've spent so many hours looking for solutions to minor bugs, I can't imagine how many hours you've spent getting this ROM out to us in such good shape. I mean that truly.
Here's the bugs remaining as far as I can tell from combing through this thread, and playing with 21874 myself. Please feel free to correct me (and recap the solution) if some of these problems are solved:
* Text messaging issues
- names not coming up in texts - need to hit "Check Recipients") [Arcsoft fix? Diamond Tweak fix?]
- can only text from the people screen
- scrolls to bottom of conversation
* Google Maps issues
* Internal Memory is not available error on boot (I saw you got this problem too. I personally saw this one a lot)
* Opera save bugs - I think it was on this ROM, but I have seen it on several others too. When I try to save a file using Opera 9.5, opera just shuts down.
* Calendar issue? (something about Canada)
- My personal problem is that on sync it gives me an error saying "The following appointments failed to synchronize from the device: blah 5/23/80 12:00am." I don't have any calendar items on that date! I have no idea how to fix that. Help anyone? I've heard that SKTools can help but I don't want to have to pay a thing, and SKTools isn't free. I'm using Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate, btw.
Finally, just one more issue that I've found (it was mentioned early on but then the discussion about it died it seems): Icons can't be drag and dropped in the Start Menu. I really liked this feature of WM 6.5. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks again! I hope this post was useful in summarizing the current state of affairs for those just tuning in.
