I was gonna install 1.95a but now I think I'll wait for the new hotness :)

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Im using the telus version. very smooth running rom, i like it alot, great work

A few issues:

- GPS is not finding my location. anything i should be tweaking?
-i used active sync to sync my gmail,google calander and gmail contacts. everything synced to the phone, but on the calendar tab it momentarily will show the little markers on the days with appointments but then they disappear. if i select a day i know there is an appointment on the day shows up with the appointment but within a second they disappear. If i go START> CALENDAR every thing is there and i can view all appoints. any ideas on this ? I created a test appoint using the calendar tab and its indicator mark also just shows for a moment when i select month view, but it does show up in day view.

-FACEBOOK, not sure if this is a bandwidth or facebook issue, when i update contacts picture using the facebook profile i have only been able to do it with one contact. the others will show a avatar with the F from facebook on it...

-on the today page: The bottom left says "SecondToday" It says it cannot be opened when i select it. what is it supposed to do?

Thanks again

PS i started from a stock telus rom before installing this one

Is there a place where we can vote for the best rom? If so, we've got a winner ourselves.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

The Calendar thing has me stumped. I've never had that happen, but there have been other reports of this happening.

Facebook: Anyone have any ideas o this. I'm probably the last dinosaur left on the planet that doesn't use facebook, so I can't offerany insight to you on this.

Second Today: Now that I've gotten a couple of things fixed on my pc, I can edit my registry entries cab again, so for the next version, you won't see this again.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

lol, facebook...make that two. usually whack that oem each time I cook a rom :) not to say I dont have an account, but to many people want to connect after 20 years!

Amen!

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

I tried your in Gadget ROM 1.95. Let me tell you there are a few problems with it. The screen locks up ALL the time. When trying to answer the phone, it won't answer with either the screen button or the hard button. Same thing happens on text messages. Then when trying to hang up a phone call, the screen blinks(blinks on & off) forever not letting you to hang up. At the same time the hard(Hang up) button won't hang up either. I do like the graphics, but the issues and Second Today ruin the ROM completely. I am off to reload my Sprint Diamond and get rid of Gadget ROM 1.95.....

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Lots of other people don't seem to be having those problems, PhxSun. Sounds like you got a bad flash.

Gadget, TKG26 - I posted a solution for the calendar issue (that I got from someone else in turn) a few pages back. It happens with the location set to Canada. You have to switch location to United States, then the calendar works. No idea _why_ that's the case, but it is. I guess you set location to Canada for the Telus ROM (logical), so people who run it hit this bug.

To change location, go to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings and change from English (Canada) to English (United States).

Gadget, if it's not too much to ask, for the next Telus build could you check if the calendar still has this bug, and set the default to United States rather than Canada on the Telus build if so? I bet it'd save a lot of people hitting the bug. Thanks!

edit: and maybe put the workaround in one of the front page posts so it doesn't get buried...

Wow!!!! to the following if this is really what we have to look forward to with the upcoming versions of Manila, i.e., Sense.

Gadget, were you going with PDANet or something? And is there a movement from anyone else to put Skype on there?

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

im looking forward to seeing what gadget can do with manila 2.5. gadgets 1.95 is probably the best manila 2.1 rom ive used so far. testing out the other 2.5 roms until gadget comes out with one.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

I need to look into that. I hadn't really given it much thought since what I have been trying to accomplish is a ROM that is solid and stable, with good bells and whistles, but leaving enough room for user choice...

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Dialer update: The skinning is about to drive me nuts with this thing. How it renders on a VGA phone doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and I have had a couple of issues with white bars appearing on a couple of the screens, and of course the text color not changing. One other thing I noticed, too, is in ging up on the Tachi dialer, we go back to the alphabetical listings on the side of the screen in contacts, weather city listings, etc, being a bit jumbled together. Couple that with the skinning issues and the mute call button not working on the full screen S2A, I am close to either going back to a stock htc diamond dialer, or going back to tachi and see if I can find someone that can help me run down the issues with the double taps, dropped calls and memory leaks ::grumble::

Latest sys: I flashed a test rom this morning and had all kinds of issues, access warnings, and the manila theme not loading properly. I haven't had a chance to see if I have a conflict with some of the ported apps or if the 21876 sys is buggy. 874 is not giving me these issues.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Definitely got that down. I've got another year with my phone so whatever you can do is great. I wanna figure out how to get Sashimi working too. That way I can upgrade ROMs easier. I'd love to be able to get a new version of your ROM whenever and have all my settings transferred with it.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Thanks! I will get this added to the first post an I will be checking out my Telus configuration so we can avoid this in the future.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Sashimi is nice and I know I don't even use it to the fullest extent of it's capabilities. With it, I was able to flash, load and test 6 versions of my rom in one day. And I've been able to build, flash and be back up and running after backup restoration and running sashimi in the time it takes me to get up in the morning, get cleaned up, dressed, etc and have a fully functional phone by the time I hit the office. Makes life so much easier...

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Looks like you had a bad flash. I suggest that you clear storage, get into boot loader mode and reflash.

Now, just to make sure everyone understands, it is going to take me additional time to get 2.5 ready to go. None of the existing mods will work with Sense/TF3D 2.5, so I am going to have to go file by file to customize this. Tedious, but well worth it...

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

take your time Gadget, all good things come to those who wait. im sure it will be well worth it! it seems that tf2.5 is getting better by the day.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

This is the problem I have too as I posted a few pages ago. I also have the Telus ROM. Is it just that version? On the today screen it shows my appointments from the month previous. But the calendar in the start menu also works fine for me. I've set it to the left soft key for now until there's a fix.

Otherwise everything is working great! This is a very stable ROM and looks good. A lot of functionality and the battery life still lasts for a day with moderate use.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

I missed this earlier. Thanks, this works!

Like rileyd said, take your time man, we'll wait :) 1.7 is running pretty great here anyway.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

I'm also still on 1.7 and I love it. Is 1.95a worth flashing?

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Yes. Very much.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Well, first I'd suggest looking at the change log on post #1 and see what you like/want and don't like/want between 1.7 and 1.95. Also, if you are happy w/1.7 and are really after the Manila 2.5 experience, it may be better to wait a bit. Certainly, 1.95 has been a very reliable and useful rom for many of us.

Just my $.02 worth.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Okay guys. I'm working on 2.5 now. It is a little different than 2.1 so I am going to take my time testing the mods to the files and to make sure cfc works. I've read a couple of reports about cfc compression messing up custom image files...

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

cool cant wait i like your roms

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Well, I for one appreciate the thoughtful approach of thorough testing before releasing a rom. Seems there has been a lot learned with 2.5 and the other chefs that have courageously worked so hard to extend the functionality of our Diamonds. With that, maybe it's time to remind people to at least thank the chefs for their hard work, and if possible contribute to the development however possible.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Very true. Guys like Gadget are really making the Diamond a great device to continue using. Obviously a big shout out for the tf 2.5 vga port as well and their creators. Even 2.1 was a great step in the right direction and Gadget really took that to another level! At this point, I see no reason to cash in my upgrade for a tp2. Will hunker down and enjoy this final ride with the diamond...and hope that the hd2 makes an appearance sometime soon. Thanks!

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

I agree with just about everyone else on this thread. Gadget, you make an outstanding ROM. Every day we wait for your manila 2.5 rom to come out is going to be well worth it. Im currently back to 1.95 after trying just about every Sense ROM out there. They're all great, not knockin any of them. Just waiting for your next one!

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Before going to new release, could you figure out the PRL uprade not working problem in v1.95? Or anyone could provide a solution? Thanks.

I'm going to check with some other chefs on this, but I suspect their may be an incompatability problem with the applet, and either TF3D 2.1, or more likely 238xx+ sys. Remember, the update PRL & Update Profile applets were written for 6.1, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it stopped working. Or it could be that I'm an idiot and goofed somewhere... :mrgreen:

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

Im running 6.5 21876 and my update prl worked fine. I had an issue a week ago where it didnt but i did a soft reset and tried again and it worked.

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

I'm also using COM2 builds and PRL is updating ok for me.

very nice rom ... i am having a problem connecting my contact card to facebook it keeps saying connection error... also i cant update the weather it also says connection error.. sorry im very new to this whole process ... do i have to update the PRL ? how do i know which one i have? thanks , Greg

Re: 11-2 | ROM | WM 6.5 | Rhodium 2.1 || GadgetROM v1.95 || 21869
 

You don't have to update the PRL. One way to find out what you have it dial ##RTN#. It will be listed towards the bottom.
