Hello. At first I was nervous, afraid I'd brick my phone but I am SO much happier now running OMJ's rom and I can't believe I suffered with the stock sprint rom for
so long! THANK YOU OMJ!

I am using OMJ_Diamond_Sense_2.5_2012_23544_v1.1
I like RSS Hub so after searching I found a cab and installed it. It works but it's saving the podcast files and I'm running out of memory, is there a way to have it save the downloaded files to internal storage card?

Thanks rhacy and mwalt. I ended up hard resetting my phone while I was at work. I would have tried to fix it but my phone was running kind of slow after it froze the first time with the weather. It's back to normal now.

Thanks again guys.

I sent a $10 donation via PayPal this morning. Thank you again OMJ for building such a fantastic ROM.

Hey thanks Guy1in10! I really appreciate that! and I'm glad u took the plunge for a new phone!

got a weird bug on the OMJ_Diamond_Sense_2.5_2012_23541_v1.2 build:

can't dial any numbers starting with +1, the phone immediately hangs up?

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

Just tested, not having this issue.

i missed a lot since my last flash ... do i still need the registry entry for 911? i'm on sprint.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

I believe the Nikoan89 keyboard is installed (if not install it) but to activate the phonepad you need to use the registry. Get something like PHMRegedit and goto the following:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > HTC > ezsip
2. Change the registry: BioToShowMenu to 1 (decimal) and hit ok
3. The menu with all the keyboard options should appear and then just select Phonepad

Even under Settings > Personal > Input it might read as full qwerty but the phonepad is being used and you can change settings without it reverting back. The full qwerty still does very rarely pop-up on certain things such as filtering for a contact, or some password fields which in most cases is more suitable anyways but it will usually bring up the phonepad. Also T9 works and you might want to change the setting of ABC word completion on in input settings so that you can update your dictionary.

well boys & girls, hate to say it, but my Diamond days are numbered....yeah u probably guessed it, I will be leaving WM for the HTC EVO when it's released....so eventually my Diamond work will be winding down. :(

Thanks for all of your work on the Diamond. I'll be following you to Android land with the EVO, but my wife will be taking over my Diamond, using a ROM cooked in your kitchen. Thanks to you, I can turn over a very functional, fast Diamond.

its been good having u... im probably joining u to get the EVO... but we still have a few months before we can get it.
i dont think it will be out before the end of 3rd quarter.

OMJ,

can you cook a rom with the KIMI call history home tab before upgrading.

thx, you've been a big help too! it may be a few months out still but I'm gonna try to get a jump on the whole android stuff


sure, is it out?

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

Not a huge surprise. Android looks to have much more for those of us that want to endlessly tweak our phone than WinMo 7 will. I can't wait to get my Evo as well and I'll be looking forward to following you there. Thanks for keeping my Diamond rockin' much longer than it would have!

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

I knew this day would come eventually, as all good things must come to an end. I thank you for your contributions thus far and thank you for any future updates before you make the leap. Cheers =D>


Now onto more mundane issues, I tried to use My Phone and discovered that it won't let me sync because there is a new update available (1.6.2718 I think). However, the update fails to install, I assume, due to My Phone being cooked into the ROM.

Kind of lame of Microsoft to leave you with no way of synching when there's a newer version out.

So I suggest in order to make this ROM more future-proof, to remove My phone from being cooked in, so that it can update as it pleases. People will just have to install it via a cab.

I am looking to go with the HTC EVO also

Where would be a good place to look into ROM's for EVO in the future?

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

Hey OMJ, Just wondering, who did you ask that gave you permission to switch? did you get a second opinion on your answer? did either of those people (I'm assuming they are human) know what they were talking about? maybe before you make such a harsh decision you should take a pole, and then take a pole on that pole to make sure that it was a valid pole.... Maybe what you could do, instead of switching to the EVO, you could add one to your account and keep both phones, and if you don't feel like carrying both phones at all times, I'm sure you can use call forwarding on the EVO so you could leave it at home and just use the diamond, better yet, use call forwarding on the EVO to the Diamond, then turn the power off on the EVO and put it somewhere safe and don't even touch it, that would save you a bunch of $$ each year on your electric bill with trying to keep 2 phones charged at all times

so, for the serious question, once you do leave, you do know that other roms will start to pass your rom with the changes and updates, if you had your choice, which cook and rom would you eventually switch to?

Hey Nosey ... just come along with us, it should be great fun!!

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

I'm with you. By the time this phone is released, I'll have had my Diamond for almost two years. More than any other phone I've had. I'll probably wait just a little bit to see if the price goes down (and let others work out the bugs), but this is definitely on my "to get" list.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

OMJ, really appreciate all of the hard work you've done for us. I've been using your ROMS exclusively for quite some time now. I as well will be moving to the Android platform shortly. The day the HTC Incredible is released I will be at the store waiting to be the first one to get it here.

Having that said, I'd just like to point out an issue with the latest 23541 ROM. I've noticed that when I am tethering via USB with my Bluetooth turned on it will not work. I have to turn off BT before the tethering will work. Don't know if this is a known issue or not, so sorry if it is.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

All three of you guys... if you want to use the 2.1 here is a little program to throw in your start menu so you don't have to do the reg edit (i think its just a little exe/script that does the same thing temporarily)
file attached...

Mine too! :) and looking forward to learning new stuff about Anroid...

Thanks a MILLION for all your work and help with my Touch and my Diamond Buddy!!!

thank you for all your time & work on these roms!!!!

Can you no longer silence the ring/vibrate on a call (by hitting the volume button)? I don't want to move the slider to "ignore" because then the person knows you ignored them. (I'm on 23541 v1.2)

re: moving to Android and the Evo: i'm afraid of sketchy battery life issues that i've heard about android, google knowing too much about me, and the cost of a new plan. a 4.3" screen is also way too big for my tight jean pockets.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

For those of you having trouble getting the notification bar at the top to register, I find that I have the most consistent success by pressing the upper left of the screen, where the old Start button used to be (this is for the 6.5.x ROMs). This usually pulls down the more finger friendly notification bar. Just an FYI.

As for my question... does anybody know of any good tweaks for Opera Mobile on the Diamond? It works okay, but I've noticed that when I use the back button, it doesn't feel like it's pulling from cache and instead trying to reload the entire previous page. I looked in opera:config, but there are about 20,000 different configurable settings and I have no clue what to look for. Any tips?

you left us with a good rom, I can't see much more for updates in the future anyways.

Thanks!!

Now that is a good plan.:headbang:

Sorry to hear OMJ, absolutely love your ROMS but who knows maybe we'll see you over at the HTC EVO ROM site.

but, just to let you know until that day, lets partttttyyyyy!=D>omj=D>omj

Oh man, thanks so much OMJ. For all of your roms, your kitchen, and all of the new things I saw in your roms. Good luck with your development with the Android side and your HTC EVO-Damn, that's a nice phone.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

23541 v1.2 appears to have the reg setting that OMJ recommended to have 911 work as normal. I don't know about the other roms, but this is an issue that you'll want to sort out right away.

Thanks for the invite to join everyone, do I need to pm you my shipping address so you can send me a phone when they come out :lol:

I own my diamond, it's just a year old (was an insurance replacement for a vogue that I was out of contract with), I'm not in a contract and because I own my phone I pay $10 for my data plan that is normally $40 if you are under a contract

maybe after they come out with it and all the kinks are out, but if your offer to join includes an out of contract new phone, sure, I'll come along!!!

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

Hope to see you OMJ and everyone else as well on EVO side, lol... On that note, we still have a couple months to wait, but it's great to see Sprint finally stepping up with some more than competitive hardware. Just wish they would put out a WM6.5.x HD2 variant. Regardless, Android looks like it's maturing very quickly, and it should be an excellent alternative to WM. Nonetheless, I've been using WM since the 6600/6700 days, and I'm sure it will be missed for some activesync work nausea, as well as for some specific applications in the short term, no matter how sweet Android turns out to be. Heck, for work, I'll probably keep at least a Diamond or TP2 on one line and the EVO on another, at least for a little while. That said, the processor speed, RAM, ROM, and screen size will be an incredible leap forward from the Diamond, and well worth any trade offs, to say the least.

Thanks again OMJ for all your help and top quality ROM and Kitchen contributions.
Cheers,
R

I have a lot of trouble answering phone calls or using the dialpad sometimes because the black bar at the bottom is on top of them. Basically, it's scary when I have just a few pixels to use the slider to answer a call...

Also, I have strange pauses with this ROM. v1.3 of the previous 6.5 build was blazing fast and after the initial load had no laginess, but now I get regular intermittent freezes. Anyone else having these problems? If I can't fix them I will probably have to go back to the previous (21887)...

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

check this reg setting...if it's not there, add it.....this is something I just recently was made aware of, and it may not be in that rom.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

installed Android to Internal Storage along w/ the dual boot option....this is my 1st Android experience, it's not to bad....need to get more familiar though, then start customizing.

good thing EVO comes w/ Sense UI

Ya, make sure you get some live wallpapers. Although they will be obviously better and no bugs on your EVO. And also make sure you try some games, the accelerometer ones work so nice on the Diamond, on the EVO, they would be crazily amazing. I wished they released the EVO in my area.

Re: OMJ's HTC Sense 2.5 & 2.1 ROMs | WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.x | 21055 / 21895 / 2354x | 3/12
 

The issues that i've run into are:

1. Camera not working
2. No GPS
3. Power sucking like you wouldn't believe
4. So far most apps require access to online(all add supported) and don't necessarily shut down completely, lots of things running in background, all of which lead to the battery sucking.
5. Accidentally opening the wrong app while trying to scroll down to the right one, of course this one may just be me!

as everyone has been saying sorry to see you go omj, been with you since the old touch days, i probably will be jumpinmg on the evo ban wagon also, it definately is time for a change, love winmo, but kinda getting tired of the same ole, dont get me wront not giving up on winmo, but just would like to see better performance and more apps in future, but anyway, wanted to ask if you have heard anyting about being able to port the navigation tab and sprint tv tab from the new tp2 6.5 sense uprade, i know its new but just was asking?
