2.53 TD2 questions - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
my HTC Diamond1, which I've had since release, have now died. When looking for a new phone, the TD2 is currently number one on the list (unfortunately I think the HD2 is too big).
I am a little hesitant to buy a phone which was released almost a year ago. And essentially all the reviews of it is phones with release ROM versions, making it hard to evaluate the current state of the TD2. Now with 2.53 ROM versions officially released, I wonder what the current status of the phone is?
How does the new ROM perform; I love the new Sense version, but does it perform adequately (remember I'm used to TD1 performance...)?
What have changed since the introduction of WM6.5; does battery perform badly now? Better to stick with 6.1?
Are current owners generally happy, or do you think I'm stupid to buy the TD2 instead of perhaps the HD2?
Would be immensely grateful for any input and help to solve my decision agony!
Thanks!

Strong buy
Very happy with my TD2 for almost a year. Used cooked rom of 2.53 and will install official one today. Go and buy it. You will not regret. Keeping in mind expectations differs.
Cheers,

Hi!
I want to know if there is a setting like it was in winmo 6.1, whenever i press right key the menu poped up and i could select to disconnect from data now in 6.5 it only locks my phone. How can i assign right button?

The reg key is under HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila => "RSK path and text" but I have found that manila RSK is not configurable in 6.5 even if you tweak the regisrty.

2.53 rom update australia
Hi everyone,
I noticed that HTC didnt release a 2.53 Sense UI ROM for Australia, Does anyone know if its possible to run something like the UK WWE:2.53 rom on an Australian Touch Diamond 2 without issue? Will it even work?
The other issue is that my serial number wont allow me to download anything from w w w.htc.com/uk anyway.
Thanks.

It's still there (in the official 6.5 Sense ROM just released). Just follow....

ROM update Australia
kobralabs,
You can download the new ROM update with a random UK serial number like "ht968l100040". It is just to make sure that you are downloading the correct file in your language. If you are OK with the English ROM with Manila 2.53, just download and enjoy it. I did the same thing and enjoying the new Manila.

thanks mehmetkoksal,
I might also download the previous version offical htc australia rom, just in case. Do I need to run something like HARDSPL first in order for the UK ROM to work on an australian htc diamond 2? Oh, btw, what region is your phone?
Thanks

Re-ROM Update Australia
kobralabs,
My phone is from Turkey. Therefore with my original serial number I was not able to download any update even the 6.5 for a long time. Therefore I used a UK serial and downloaded the WWE update. But my Vodafone original ROM did not allow me to update the ROM therefore I hardspled the phone with attached program which unchained my ROM from Vodafone and then I was able to update to new ROM.

Thanks for that mehmetkoksal. I have downloaded the WorldWide English ROM and the linked HARDSPL and will try updating my phone tomorrow. Hopefully Manila 2.5 is not to slow.

Just Flashed the New 2.53 Rom - Problem
Hello I have just flashed to HTC's new rom for the topaz with manilla 2.5, I think it is a great rom and a vast improvement over the 2.1 version.
However the programs icon from the top right of the screen has disappeared from this version, so there is no easy way to shut down programs without going into task manager.
Any suggestions or does anyone have the program as a separate cab to install it.
Regards
Colin Williamson

There is a cab in the Leo forums which brings back the taskmanager in the upper right corner, have a look there.

This one should work, but none of them play well with 6.5.3 because of the drop down menu.

Is your TD2 a T5362 UMTS 850/2100 (Telstra)?
Can anyone comment as to whether the HTC stock WWE 2.53 would be compatible w. the UMTS 850/2100 radio? It would be good to be entirely free of the Telstra modifications.

Predictive text display problem in XT9 mode with new ROM 2.53
Hi
Question for anyone running the new 2.53 ROM recently made available by. HTC
Just upgraded to the new 2.53 ROM and with the XT9 function that I use for predictive text using just the phone pad keyboard (which I prefer over the QWERTY keyboard on the small Diamond 2), now as I type letters, what is displayed on the screen is the actual first letter of each key I press, while potential word matches are shown in highlight boxes. Previously what was displayed in the message screen was the actual predicted word as you typed letters and if it wasn't the word I wanted I could then look at the other options - now, I have to select an option for every word I type.
So with the option for word completion turned on in XT9 mode and using the phone pad keyboard which I always prefer to use, if I type the letters to spell 'car', what is displayed are 'aap' and I then need to select 'car' from displayed matches - damn annoying! Anyone else with this problem or is it a new 'feature'??? Or am I just imaging things and this has always been the case and just seems a little different on the new ROM - going crazy!
Only issue may be that I needed to download the ROM from Asia as that is where my phone was purchased to get my serial number recognised so now in the text input settings is an option to use PinYin as the input method (which I have to select) and use the English version on the keyboard so wondering if this is something to do with it?
Thanks for any help you can give
Tim

Yep, highly annoying! Is quite easy to fix though
Fire up a registry editor, navigate to HKLM / Software / Tegic / eT9 and change "ExactInListMode" to 0
Then soft reset.
Also notice you cannot save your added words between resets..

Official ROM update
I would like to update my diamond2 to the last ROM.
The problem is that if I go to http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=912&news_id=596 and put my SN I get Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If I go to http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915 it's working, I just downloaded _HTC Touch Diamond2_RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.4_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe
Is it safe to install this ROM? Will it be in english?
PS. I bought the phone from a guy (used, not new) and I don't know from where it was bought.

If you put your SN into the asian website and it came up with a ROM it should work, but I don't know for sure.
WWE means worldwide English, so it is an English language ROM.

Yes!

Yes, you can install it and yes, it will be in English (WWE = World Wide English) If the site let you download it using your serial number, then it's good to go without any tweaking (ie. HardSPL, etc)

NOTE:
I dont have the p4350 anymore, so I could not test the roms with touchflo and no cube.
But they should work
Instructions how to upgrade is in the Touch-IT folder.
READ IT.
If you dont, you will spend even more time infront of your computer flashing the official ruu before trying again, why waste time, use 1 min to read and understand.
Remember:
If you dont like what I have added, or what I have removed or w/e please dont spam this thread with lame comments.
Disclaimer:
I take NO responsebility if you brick your device, if you do search the forums before you come flaming me/us here at XDA.
IF you brick your phone (Brick=the phone can be used as a building brick, or maybe a paperweight? Because you cant start it up.) Its no others fault but your own.
Mainly the reason for bricking a phone is:
1. Not reading the instructions good enough
2. Not following the instructions.
3. Not having a RUU that can unbrick the phone (the official installer with the official rom for your specific phone, with your phones default language. In.ex if yu have a german phone by default, you need a german RUU, if not you will get invalid vendor error)
4. Not reading the instructions good enough..again
5. Not following the instructions...again
If you dont understand after reading CAREFULLY, then dont bother flash your device with this or any other rom.

DO NOT SPLIT UP AND POST THIS PACKAGE IN SEPERATE FILES.
Wow, dude. Awesome. And just in time for me buying my P4350 monday (or tuesday possibly). Not having tried flashing before (but already having read the instructions several times, even though I haven't actually got a phone to do anything on), I don't know the quality of your roms - yet I presume from what I have read that they are quite good indeed.
So thanks for your work on the roms, even though the P4350 isn't exactly new.
Just out of curiosity, is it WM5 or WM6 it's built upon? I can't seem to locate that fact anywhere in your post, but I might have overlooked it for some mysterious reason.
EDIT: It seems I was a bit too quick to post the latter about me not finding the information. I googled a bit and it seems that Kaiser OS of that build mentioned above is indeed WM6. So I guess I answered my question myself
EDIT 2: First (or well, second), I guess?
glad to hear that you're still doing work for us. I can't wait to put this on my phone.
thanks mucho.

Hm, maybe this should be stickied. Easier to find it, as it seems to be the final version ever to be released.
I am however curious, itje. What if bugs pop up, will you be fixing those? Depending on their size and reach of the bug, of course.

Well, it might work. If you find a language pack that works on wm6 then it might. Why don't you try it out? Just make a backup, flash, see if it works, flash back to your current rom and restore your backup. I'm sure it can't be that hard.
UAHUUUUU
I love the "READ ME-How To Upgrade" file
I love the new (light coloured) splashcreen and theme
I love everything man!
It is dumb saying so since it is the last version but this is the best release!
Installation went smooth! I really hope that this time everybody reads carefully the readme file since the package has the select OS feature.
Itje, come back to the herald whenever you want. I read somewhere that kaiser was way worse than Herald... I would think it twice
Great rom itje... I've founda little bug that becomes annoying when using CommManager: when I try to slect Settings -> Wireless lan nothing happens :?

My tytn2 is the best device/phone I ever held in my hands.
So does this rom have the keyboard and stuff working correctly? I think it was a problem in the past, if I remember right. Just curious because I just had to hard reset my phone because it's being stupid, so if this rom is (close to) bug free, I will probably flash to this instead.

If you have a P4350, and its default language is english. There is no issue
What messed up with soft keyboard was the softkeyboard from touch dual, and I didnt include it in this release.
If you want it, get the cab. The same applies to other programs that ppl wants that is not in this release.

To be honest I don't really know what touch dual is, so I'm sure I could do without it. I've been running the regular t-mobile rom with just the page pool change and a few programs (htc home, etc), and suddenly started getting this problem where my send button didn't work right and my phone would make some weird noises. I just did a hard reset and it seems to have fixed that, so while I'm at it I might as well add a nice new rom.
I know you've been working on roms for quite a while here, and I was holding off because of not wanting to re-do everything, but now since I had to start fresh, I might as well add something like this.
Thanks for all of the hard work you put into this stuff. I'm definitely going to give it a try.

My observations:

- red/power button doesn't wors as power-down button and phone toggle
- no wireless/comm manager
- some bitmaps doesn't look very well (not a big problem)
- strange names in Buttons settings
- no palm messaging (but maybe it's jus me)
At the moment I'm going back to 6.1 with palm oems, but I do really cross fingers for you and your rom. If you'll put new version soon, I'm getting it! Great work!

thx to u next version will be faster then this (i belive)
i need port original applications form palm wm5 to more usable on this palm
1-2 days for it
i dont like palm messaging
original is better for me
I used default messaging for a long time (so called "lite" version of 6.1)
The biggest problem for me is comm manager and power button. Accidentialy I flashed again to your rom so I'll stick with this one now, try to configure it for my needs (it's just question of few apps to cure most of "problems").
Can't wait to see next version.
Best regards.

haven't tried the clean version, but on the new palm version, the soft menu is the old version and links like phone settings or today settings dont work. *have to use start menu*
also not able to connect to an exchange server. link to set it up in activesync seems to be dead.
red button, and wireless manager seem to work.
will check out the clean version as well.
edit: reset the phone. activesync, email, and exchange all work.
soft key bar still isn't like your first update *i assume it changed in 6.5, and this is the old version* and phone and today settings links in soft menu are still broken.
edit#2: seems the email account isn't listed in the accounts settings window. also at least one keyboard shortcut didn't work (whitebutton + P for brightness settings) i assume this has to do with the "weird" names programs have listed under buttons.
i want to update to 6.5 but is it possible to go back to orignal at&t oem rom afterward to will there be some problem....???????

thx for test i repair it today
Just downloaded your rom, will let you know the details soon
Ok here is the review of this rom, the one with palm oem applications and commmanager,
Pros:
Fast and stable
Volume is better compare to 6.1
It has inbuilt mass storage driver which 6.1 lack
Shortcut are sorted in appropriate folders in start menu
Black Theme is default, which is very good
Display is better compare to 6.1
There are 2 flavour of Wmplayer
Comm Manager is now full functional
And More............
Cons:
Instead of green light to show the network now its showing orange,
Vibrate is not working
There is slight jerk in display while changing screen from one program to another
There is no Call screen, Mean when you are answering a call or had dialed a call you want be able to see the duration of the call.
Hi there, thank you very much for your great work. I have a quick question: My Treo has a German (QWERTZ) keyboard, will it be detected somehow?, or the ROM will asume its a QWERTY keyboard. I don't mind the OS being in English, that would even be better, is there a quick way to patch the ROM to make it work with the QWERTZ keyboard?
Thank you so much in advance.
About in call screen. It's all around ActiveCall and DialLookup plugins. Maybe changing some registry values will fix it (I had similar situations once and editing some registry solved my problems). Tomorrow I'll compare some of my keyes with working wm6.
-If your syncing to an Exchange server, the Manage Folders function does not work to be able to select addition folders.
-blank HTCSETTINGS icon under System.. appears to do nothing
- 2 PHONE apps under Personal settings. Different functions, but named the same
- There is something off with trying to go into Messages from the Today screen. Takes a few clicks to actually make it work. It doesn't do it everytime.
That's all I found for the moment.. obviously WLAN option does nothing on mine
I've noticed one more thing: there's no "white dot" indicating text input with active function key. It's a bit tricky when you try to type password and you don't see what you write...
But in general it works very well. But installing "hidelogo" caused reset loop and I had to hard-reset.
Great work!
EDIT:
Change HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/"Dial Lookup"/Type from 4 to 6 <- it will fix active-call-screen-problem Works for me.
i build new version today with all palm applications and battery test show me 14days
it is quickly then last version i upload it soon
it need some small fixes

1. Download the latest Nrg rom 2.0 It has the new Manilla and i myself think Nrg does a great work with hes roms. Keeping them upp to date and good speed.
Install this rom then continue to next chapter
2. Download the lang pack so that you can get full swedish support on all menus and so on so forth.
http://xboxmod.totalgamer.org/release/additionnal_language.cab
or from the new manilla thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
3. On your phone Press start then go to Programs / Utilities then run the Keyboard selector program. choose Htc Keyboard.
4. Download the
[APP] Scandinavian KB Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496876&highlight=swedish
Install and run this program. when its upp Select Norwegian. NOT swedish. Restart the Phone and you will be able to type åäö using your hardware keyboard.
5. now open the registry editor and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
and put in on "CurLang"=41D
this will make whole meny swedish
6. now to make your t9 swedish WITHOUT crewing upp your Hardware keyboard.
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121
And download that cab and install it to your phone.
When done go to the T9 config and select swedish.
You have now a phone with full swedish config and a good new rom.
Hope you enjoy this and are as happy as i were when i got this working.

Nice Work jimmyhawkin!
One Question ... Does this change the complete system to Swedish or Manila only?
Mvh
HueMann i Skåne
Well manila only for this one but i guess the only thing left to do is change region setting to swedish and you have all fixed
Note that with the Nrg rom and the new manila you hardly ever see anything but the manila shell. Depends on what you work with. but for normal uses you hardly ever see anything but manila.
But if you want to go even further then i deskribe change the region setting to swedish.
May I ask why my posts were deleted?
I think they have a rule here that only "members" with 1000 posts or more can post..... I've also noticed my posts being removed or Moved to the "Don't Ask Questions!" Thread as well...
This is amazing
Thanks alot, Jimmy!
I'm actually really satisfied with this ROM, and the manilla is just amazing.
Together with this Swedish pack, it's perfekt, if you don't think about the small manilla bugs, which will probably be fixed by the Xboxmod people.
Huge thanks!
One thing, though; is there any way to make the whole WM6.1 Swedish?
Google is your friend But i search this time for you.
As it seems sins this rom has a English windows mobile installed. Swedish is not included. So you will have to live without that.
But if you ask me its a small price 2 pay sins its not verry often you digg down that deep in to the system. Normal days use your in Manilla all the time.
So sorry swedish in windows is not possible. But if you want a fast rom with the new manilla this is the way to go. If you want a rom that totaly swedish and frankly made me nuts sins its so slow and ****ty. well then you use the rom icluded on the phone or a shedish rom that can be downloaded here on the forums. but thats the same as the one that comes with the phone.
cant get it to work
i did as you sayd and åäö doesnt function wat to do ?

Anyone got it to work on Touch Pro II?
Here, I have posted the file additionnal_language.cab as an attachment.
Thanks to westw for the URL earlier.
This solution work's great on my raphael with skandinavian hw keyboar.
wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_Keyboard
I had to use -Norwegian (Bokmal) 1044 because finnish version did not work.
Now every button's with FN+ funktion works like they should work.
Does this work with the latest NRG ROM? With Manila 2.5 Max sense?

Can't get this to work. I replaced 1033 with 41D in CurLang and did softrestart. Nothing changed for me
Edit: Hardreset fixed it instead. Thanks!

New Owner questions... e. g. G-Sensor, colors...

Hi,
i have bought a German Vodafone branded Touch Diamond 2. But i have some questions:
- There is a built-in G-Sensor, which can be calibrated, but it do nothing else. I can rotate the phone till my hands fall off, but nothing happens (i already tried some registry tweaks, i found in this forum)
- When i click on the Symbols in the Startmenu line e. g. the battery symbol, then it doensn't open the battery settings, but something called "notifications" (Benachrichtigungen).
- The Manila screen has wrong colors. White/red instead of black/white. How can i change it?
- How can i get the "HTC Audio Manager" to play the files in a folder? I want to listen to a audiobook, but it messes up the file order, which is pretty annoying.
Now, while i am writing this, i think about flashing a unbranded ROM could be simpler, right? But is this the solution i am looking for?

- Accelerometer: Are you attempting to use the g-sensor for anything in particular? Try loading up the game "Teeter" which relies on the accelerometer for moving the ball along a maze. There are few provided apps which require the accelerometer functionality, and Manila doesn't rotate by default.
- TouchFLO notifications is an addon provided by HTC. Search the forums for instructions on how to disable this functionality; I believe there are a couple of applications which will allow you to do this without manually editing registry keys etc.
- Red / White is Vodafone's brand. You may be able to install a replacement skin for Manila, it's up to you.
I'm afraid I don't use my Topaz for listening to music, so I can't help with your final issue.
Flashing an unbranded ROM may resolve the third issue, but the rest will more than likely remain. I don't see them being issues, though, just personal preference!
HTH.
Thanks for the answers!
The solution for the first and the second problem is this. If someone is wondering: The Topaz has a built in G sensor, but it is unused, mean's that no installed program is using this feature by default. Really strange from my point of view!
The third problem seem to be a little more difficult: M2DC say's that manila is not installed! And i wasn't able to find a Diamond II skin to download. Others are available. Maybe someone can give me a hint?
For the fourth problem i work around using a patched TCPMP, which looks a little outdated, but is my personal number one for media playback.
Greets schnurzelat
I think you will find that the sensor is used when you flip the phone over on an incoming call to mute the ringing!
That's why I never use branded ROMs (T-Mobile Germany)!
M2DC won't work 100% with new Manillas, never worked on branded or official ROMs for me.
Try latest original German HTC WM6.1 ROM Build 1.39.407.1.
I don't like WM6.1, so I use Tom's Leo R2 WM6.5 incl. very nice Manilla 2.5, which runs great with latest Radio, but it's English language.
I don't like branded ROM's too. But the german vodafone flash isn't availble yet - so i can't go back in case of warrenty issue.

Yes,you are wrong,wm 6.5 support S730 witch Rom is 256Mb(not Ram).if Rom is 128MB,Pls don`t upgrade it.
I'm the author of this 6.5 ROM.
hi ccwav
i am a fan of your roms from ioicn (i cannot understand chinese anyway)
nice to see you here
Welcome!
I was surfing ioicn.com.cn and I saw there some posts about WM 6.5 for S730 but I can't speak Chinese and all I could do was register and then search the posts. But I couldn't understand if there was any English ROM. Anyone able to help?
the rom build by ccwav is chinese and english, but it is incomplete (file explorer, bt and many other features are still in chinese) anyway it is a nice and cool rom.
I downloaded this ROM that nhatientri mentioned, cooked it without making any modifications and it installed flawlessly. It is in English totally but no Bluetooth at all, this is the first thing I spotted. Let me check if there are other bugs.
BTW, anyway to get the bluetooth back?

Well, I speak Italian, Greek, English, Albanian and some Turkish and French. If you know any of the following languages, I am ready to help you bring it in English.
As for my yesterday's test on HTC S730 with the 6.5 ROM, I decided to go back to 6.1 until next convincing ROM.

i saw it this morning... and now i'm going to test it
but
i'll be very happy if you could cook a rom with 256MB ROM size and without AGPS/GPS features (the western wings haven't gps but have more rom size)
anyway thank you for the up, i'm running to try it
Dear friends, I downloaded the ROM from the link here http://www.ioicn.com.cn/forum/viewthread.php?tid=358850&extra=&page=1 and don't ask me how I registered, I don't know Chinese and I worked a lot with google translation. The forum couldn't log you in through google translator. Anyhow, long story short, I downloaded the chinese 6.5 ROM and I am amazed. The home screen is fantastic and i could change the language from Chinese to English through the settings. There are still programs and items in Chinese but it's not a big deal. You can find the english versions of the programs on line.
I am going to play with that a little bit now. I'll write later if I find any bug or whatever.
are you able to dump/edit/modify/repack that rom? maybe removing agps ? i have tried several times but i am a dumb ^^
Nope, I'm sorry. I don't know how to do it. I renamed every Chinese filename in English and downloaded the English versions of some of the programs.
Until now, from what I see I can say the following:
1. Bluetooth Manager is in Chinese, I'll try to push some English version from my other HTC Vox WM 6.5 if possible.
2. Internet Explorer is for touch screen models I guess. Very difficult for me to operate it like this. I think I will try Opera or whatever for a change.
3. There is File Explorer in English but somehow, the cooker decided to put the shortuct of Resco Explorer only in the menu, which is in Chinese by the way.
4. GPS seems to work but I can't get more than 1 satellite everywhere I try.
5. Quick GPS tries to download data but nothing downloads even on WiFi or over ActiveSync.
6. Homescreen of T-Mobile looks very cool, I like it a lot
7. A lot of tweaks in Chinese, hieroglyphs to me
I will see if I spot anything else. Nevertheless, the ROM is OK, I didn't regret the update (yet).
allright, nevermind...
i have solved some issues (in an arranged way)
2 if you use JZSmartMort you can set (in the browser options) the "OLD VERSION" of IE , it's work but is still slow imo
3 install your own resco explorer or make a new link to the "original file explorer" than replace with the older one (chinese resco)
4-5 i think that one satellite is few for connect to a AGPS so agps/gps feature is useless (if don't have the gps version of wings) (can't try with an external receiver, for now, at my home there are no signal at all)
6-7 the last foledr in start menu conteins some extra tweak, like different layout for menu (glossy bars and selections, the third is PINK!), a selector for different tshres.dll (icons in the iconbar, my favotite is #8), a selector between the 6.1 and 6.5 home layout (maybe with delicacy homescreen) and a selector for the dialer pad (first, grey htc, second blue...)
how much RAM free you get at the boot? and after some while?
br
Also, I can't find Java. It looks it is not integrated or smth. I don't use it anyways, just wanted to try Opera Mini....
Well, I have it loaded up with programs so I don't know if the readings are accurate. Anyways, where do I check the free RAM?
