Hi everybody,
I just purchased a Sprint Diamond yesterday. I've already updated the radio, and put Juicy's 4.4 release onto it. The process went very smoothly. Many thanks to Juicy47 for all his work, and also to his "customers" in this thread. Thanks to all of your questions (and answers), I was able to hit the ground running.
I
do have a question about the Google Mail app, and it might apply to some other Google apps as well: Do they work on the Diamond? I tried to download Gmail from their site (the Windows Mobile version), and my Diamond didn't know what to do with the resulting .jad file. I think there needs to be an associated .jar file as well, but who knows. Anyway, I thought it was odd that I hadn't run across much discussion of GMail, much less issues with it. Google's stuff usually "just works", and I was surprised that I hit any snags at all. I feel like I must be missing something obvious!
EDIT: Whoops, I thought of another question. Is the .NET Framework 3.5 included in this ROM? I downloaded that "hologram" program, and the performance is ridiculously bad. One of the suggested fixes is to install Framework 3.5. I wasn't sure whether Juicy had already supplied that, and I wasn't sure how to check.
On that note, is there, like, a description of this ROM anywhere? You know, something that describes Juicy's "design philosophy". (Higher performance, minimal bloat, perhaps?) But even better, is there a comprehensive list of everything included in the current version? I've read hundreds of posts, and looked at tons of of change-logs, but so far I haven't found an actual description and/or table-of-contents. I'm sure I've just missed it.
