Welcome back indeed.
When you get to that list of included apps, could you also include a screenshot or description of what available memory after flash?

Re: OMJ's Custom ROM | WM 6.5 | 21870 | Manila 2.1 | 10/27/09 |

I've just flashed this ROM. It's my first attempt at this hobby and I'm impressed with how much more responsive the phone became!

The phone still gets hot when surfing the net...Not sure if this is normal for the Diamond as I just got this phone.

Will the battery life improve?

Could you guys tell me how ( or point me to a thread) to get and install the ringtones from the original Sprint ROM? Does this ROM has Sprint Picture Mail?

If I want to try another ROM in the future, do I just flash it on top of this one or there's another way?

Thanks to OMJ for making this possible!

Overheating is normal but was much worse in the beginning

Battery life varies dependent on the ROM you are using.

You can just flash over top of your current ROM. As of late though it has been suggested that you flash to SHIPPED first before flashing to a new ROM, just to clean out all the stuff from the previous rom.

Thanks kbussen!

When you say shipped ROM, could I just get the shipped ROM for Sprint from HTC site and flash it or get a download from here and use it? The HTC site has the ROM I had but asks to enter the Serial from the device before dowload..

Also could you point to ways to customize OMJ's ROM using different Rings and Wallpapers, I also can't find Picture mail on it, how can I add that?

Sorry about the newbe Qs..If not allowed please delete Mods!

Thanks again!

I gotta say, I love this ROM! It has everything I want and seems to be rock solid! However, there always seems to be a catch.... I have tried for the life of me to get the GPS to work. I have had no luck. Are you aware of any issues with GPS or am I doing something wrong? Let me know if I need to be more specific...

Thanks!

Go here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062 and scroll down til you see Sprint SHIPPED ROM. Download, unrar, and just run the exe.

I am using my own custom rom so I am not familiar with what OMJ is using in his rom, so i cannot assist too well with wallpapers. Rings on the other hand are a bit simpler. If you want to save space, put all of your rings in the root of your internal storage, do not put them in a folder or they will not show up.

For picmail, use arcsoft. Ill have to search for a link for you.

Here is the link to the newest arcsoft with sprint settings. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74326

Thanks a lot for your help on this kbussen,

The link for arcsoft shows it as a CAB file, I have no idea how to apply that to the ROM/phone.. How do one uses a CAB file? With the Sprint ROM when looking at a picture it gives the option of sending with Picture Mail which is a Service included with my Plan. Will the arcsoft work the same?

I've downloaded the shipped ROM and will have that ready for reflashing before going to another ROM.

Bare with me as I'm learning this whole thing as I go

I'll appreciate any suggestion as to improve performance and speed on my Diamond.

Thanks again!

If doing this from your computer. Connect your phone with active sync. Open the file explorer on your phone via active sync, navigate to your internal storage and just drag the .cab file to your internal storage from where ever you downloaded it to on your computer. Then just navigate to the internal storage via the file explorer on your device and just click on the .cab. Follow the process.


So as to not muddy up OMJs thread. Please PM me with any additional questions.
