Hard-SPL, or How to get that useful thingy on my device - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi chaps,
I'm expecting a Diamond in the coming weeks; I've already got a Hard-SPL done and ready to test along with the SSPL, so once I've verified it works (and frankly, I don't see it failing) I'll release it for general consumption.
Cheers.

Thanks oli for your hardwork
bless you

Guessing around £380 SIM Free with no addons

Im ready with HTC Touch Diamond (have one piece here)... waiting for the program

Can you share some pictures of it, a mini review, what’s the battery life like?

thanks alot i hope it will be soon

Gonna buy one soon :$

OK, I had walshieau testing it, then the bastard ****ed off and didn't come back.
however, I'd say it's safe to say it's done.

sure sure, we all know you buggered off for a wank and completely forgot about testing.

I'd just like to say I advise AGAINST using tom codon's Hard-SPL (unless you have a pressing need to flash) as it's not based on an MFG, the one I'm releasing of course, *is*

Hate to ask the noob question oli but what is the difference between the two i.e. mfg and non-mfg. Does mfg mean yours is based off of the manufacturer's spl??
thanks for enlightening me (if u see fit )

mfg has extra commands in the bootloader. these are not in shipped spl's i dont think. probably in the wiki somewhere. commands do thinks like hard reset, format the nand, and other stuff..

Unhide/Unlocking Universal Ext Rom ??

Hi
On my BA there were some tools to do this. I am assuming that they have not yet been created for the universal yet (unless I am missing something?)
I tried the BA ones (nothing to loose), to no avail.
On my BA, I always used to cherry pick what I wanted from the extended rom post install.
Nigel
currently you can't unlock the extended rom, but with totakcommander you can type /Extended_Rom on the commandline and you'll see the content of the folder. You can start the .cab files from there or copy them to the SD card.
You can't copy anything back to the extended rom.
Wolfgang
Cheers Wolfgang!

Yeah... Dopod from Michael (mwang) arrived today as well, but they want me to pay the custom fee... oh well...
So it is now blocked at the post office and i have to give them proof of it's price.. hmm.... or something like that...
buzz
Yaeh, i know the feeling about customs charges, i bought a Top-Gun style leather jacket from the US and it cost me an extra 54 quid on import tax and VAT
Anyway, you'll love the universal, it is so much better than the old xda ii, even Mel (the missus) likes it.....
Speak to ya soon. if you want me to test anything for ya, as always, no problems....

I've had that before, and not far from you either
I buy a lot of stuff from eBay, but all the customs crap (not just the fees, but all the paperwork and delays) made me limit most of my purchases to the EU. I still get stuff from the US, and the far east sometimes, but mostly just items with small (declared) value, that can slip through.
There I come to my point: I see that you have to provide a proof of the price like I had to. Since I had a private ebay purchase, I could only print the receipt from the website. As most of the gadgets I got were very uncommon, a few times I took the liberty and changed some numbers on the receipt. Nothing outrageous, of course, but still. The cumulative 8% import duty +25% VAT pissed me off a lot...
You might want to consider this if they ask for half your kingdom...

quick question about dash

my tmobile dash is sim-unlocked (i'm using movistar right now. it came with wm5 and i upgraded to tmo wm6 which i think it sucks (too slow for me).. now, what if i upgrade to kavana's wm6.1, will i be able to use my movistar sim card or my device will be locked again? (always talking about sim card lock)
thanks for the answers!
No sim lock from now on.
WM6 is faster than WM5. Carefully see what icons in windows\startup directory. If you don't use voice dial you can delete all icons exept wifiblabla icon.
Last Kavana ROM will make you happy.
right now i have the htc rom (i finally got rid of tmo) and it works just fine. everything's faster and better.
what about kavana's rom?. is worth the change?. is it fast and stable?
thanks for your help

Turbosim uses the same old boring flaw. It's phsyically unreliable (brittle, contact problems). Also most of these 'turbosim's are not turbosim's but cheap clones. All 'turbosims' have incompatability issues with sims.
Save your money and don't bother using it to unlock. Someone well known was offering an unlock solution on here (search in this section). It'll probably cost you the same, or even less and no faffing around when your turbosim breaks.
PS. plus a rom update could close the turbosim flaw indefinatly.
Please dont open threads like this! what a waste of space....

Manilla3d is out now!! 20755 ddi.dll testing on hermes 10/12

Hey Guys,
Just thought i would ask, Has anyone tested the new manilla3d on Hermes??
They have it running on kaiser!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2758694&postcount=240
I'm waiting for my replacement in the mail soon and can't wait to start cooking this into roms and tearing it apart.
"For those of you continuing to try to use the Omnia D3D driver.. it will never work. Omnia driver is software D3D while TF3D uses OpenGL that supports ATI hardware and ATI texture decompression."
stopping tests now, wouldn't have any success until i get working drivers
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Currently testing kaiser drivers
Here is a 20755 rom With the HTC kaiser drivers, Manilla3d, and the ddi.dll driver : HERE
I haven't been able to test these roms yet as my phone is dead and being replaced.
The goal of this is to see how the 3d drivers affect the hermes rom preformance and also to see if we are able to get this manilla3d interface working. as the above manilla3d thread and kaiser drivers become updated i will update this thread also.

Edit you will need to install D3d drivers i think, someone have a cab for that??

The Hermes has fine D3D Drivers as far as I can tell, or you can use the Samsung software one if you want.
It doesnt help much, never really tested it though.

yep, was sorta expecting that, you need to disable all today plugin also like suggested
As far as I can tell its a nogo.
It wont boot, its stuck at tab here to launch touchflow 3D.
Then it looks between that and launching.
Same thing happens with and without the software drivers.

Rats! My mint condition Blue Angel with original ROM still in place is 260 miles away.
...In fact, this has got me thinking about the BA again. If only I could hard-wire a GPS receiver to it somehow (so I wouldn't have to mess about with Bluetooth and two car-chargers) my Kaiser wouldn't be on TomTom duties - the BA's mahoosive screen would be so much nicer
As soon as I'm within arms length of my BA I'll try the flash...

Mines on its last legs, backup battery is 100% dead, and the screen only works badly, but even then the finger scrolling works really well.
I cant get IE8 working, as It wont sync with my computer to put the files on.
the screen is so ugly compared to my Hermes though
