[ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Touch Diamond One

I have had my Sprint Diamond for nearly 2 years now and have tried just about every ROM out there. I never found that perfect ROM which was fast, flawless, and visually appealing. Juicy came closest with his series of ROMs (which has since been discontinued) and this ROM is built on top of the Juicy 7 Kitchen.

I consider this ROM perfect. I hope you find it so yourself. I originally did not intend to release this but since the Diamond is now an end-of-line device this ROM will hopefully extend its useful lifetime.

The ROM features the traditional Diamond theme, with mostly stock WM6.5 features and splashes of HTC Sense where appropriate and stable (such as the Notifications, Power Off, Camera, Album, Wi-Fi Router, etc). I also modified the scrollbar to get out of the way since WM6.5 has fairly solid finger scrolling.

I will let the screenshots speak for themselves.

To round out this perfect ROM (at least on Sprint), I recommend using this radio.

If you'd like to perform the "Start" customization like I did, use Resource Hacker
and edit String Table 321 > 1033 > 5120 in the attached ShellRes MUI file. Copy this file to the /Windows/ directory on your device using Total Commander and Soft-Reset.

think i may need to blow dust off diamond for a testdrive, goodluck op. (hey thats your first thanx/rep)

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Looking forward to trying this. I was hoping to find a good, plain, clean rom. All of them out there anymore are so loaded down with garbage that it makes it hard to see why you even switched to custom in the first place. Thanks for the upload!

I was just about to retire my Diamond for good. lol

Thanks for sharing this! Looks great!

Good Luck! :thumbleft:

The Diamond still does the job for me, and this rom seems to be vary stable and the excellent Juicy battery life. Will run it for a while, thanks for sharing.


The only little bug I see so far is not being able to adjust the backlight manually.The little adjustment arrows are missing,same with the volume control if you use the windows volume instead of the HTC .

Thanks, Joe

ok help me out.. i have flashed roms never done anything with the radio though... do i do that after i flash this rom? if so how?

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

You can flash the Radio just like you would flash a ROM. I would flash the ROM first to verify you can flash your device. If it successfully takes it, flash the new radio.

Note the radio I linked to is for Sprint.

Sorry for stupid questions, but I get stuck at the 'recover' step. Will not go any further. Am I missing a step? Currently running rom 2.00..... radio 1.1

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Sorry, answered my own q. Unlock first.
works fine so far.

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Been running your ROM for almost 2 weeks.....perfect! Thank you...

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Thank You for this, I refuse to buy a new Sprint phone until they add a non keyboard 4 inch Windows Phone 7 device.

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Thought I would add that Microsoft MyPhone will not scroll up and down. It is no big deal just trying to help with you with errors I see.

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

been playing with it for the past couple hours, looks very promising, i like a lot, very clean, will let you know of any issues...

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Also like to point out that when in a area like settings and you exit with the x, instead of it going back to last screen like in winmo 6.1 it goes to homescreen. the scroll item i mentioned above for myphone is also missing in a few other menu options, i just have to hit the toggle at the bottom of phone to scroll.

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Any chance you can cook a generic one for non Sprint users?

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

Glad to see production is still going. Can't wait to test drive.

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

ok so far so good, some minor issues with scrolling, major issue, went to a friends weeding in a small town in the middle of no where :-) I had no service the rest of my friends with sprint had service, they were roaming but they did have service none the less... i checked the setting for network services to make sure it was set to sprint only like my older phones, the options were standard, automatic a, automatic b, roaming only.. it was already set to standard, i tried each one of those options and nothing worked, did not have service at all... is this a htc diamond issue or rom issue?

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

I installed the rom & radio, looks good. Is there any way to customize
the "today" screen beyond the limited choices given (settings -> today
-> items)? I would like to add comm manager to today to replace
voicemail

link not working...

Re: [ROM] Touch Diamond One (WM6.5, 21725)
 

The volume for the phone is a bit low for me, and when I try to adjust it via the volume controls, it doesn't change, neither up nor down change the phone volume and when I try to click on the speaker icon to adjust it, it just brings me the notifications page which has no volume control at all. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I will have to go with a different rom. Thanks.
