mda compact 4 is t-mobiles brand of diamond, p3700

That's the problem:eek:

Although they are Touch Diamond, but there are something difference. I have downloaded a stock rom for Touch Diamond (sprint version) from HTC site and cooked. I could flash the cooked rom, but it did not boot.

I have just checked on HTC site, no Touch Diamond T-mobile ??? (only Sprint and Verizon). If you have a stock rom, send to me and I will try for you.

you cannot use sprint ROM as base because SPRINT is a CDMA phone

you should use any GSM carrier ROM as base or HTC generic ROM

mda compact 4 is almost identical to diamond. only housing is different. so far all diamond roms work perfect on my mda, only yours doesn't

bambuchko has rebuilt the rom with nbhtool and made it work for compact4. You may ask him for details. Sorry, I have no clue about this. Did you try another ROM of mine?

QUic question - how about smoothness in your's 2core5.5 when compared to 2core2.4 ?
I don't know - stay with 2.4 or upgrade to 5.5 :)

5.5 has better touch (break effect) and touch is everywhere (contacts, programs, appointment... while 2.4's touch effect comes from Touchflo package, which appears only on contact, programs and without break effect (that means you scroll for example contacts, contacts will flow until the end of the list, if you want to stop, you need to touch it again. break = scroll slow down and stop without touching). However, performance of 5.5 is a bit less as normal 6.5 vs. 6.1

Tried 5.5 - and flashed back 2.4 :] Don't know why, but I don't like wm6.5. It eats too much ram, and it's not so smooth when compared to 6.1 :)

6.5 uses about 7 M ram more than 6.1. But that is not a problem. time to open apps is much more.

However, it's native touch is much more user friendly

    [ROM|WWE] 2core minimized ROMs 6.1 & 6.5 & 6.5.x - Overclock to 672 MHz (30 Mar 2011)

    Hello XDAers, this ROM is customized for my own but maybe some of you have the same need :)
    When you try these ROMs, no matter they are good or bad, could you please leave some comments? So we can reach for the best ROM. Thanks for your cooperation.

    Post#1: info
    Post#2: Downloads (ROMs, cabs, links)

    Aims:
    1. Performance
    2. Touch friendliness
    3. Power management

    ===========================================
    Chef's opinions on 2core series:
    1. Performance: 6.1 >> 6.5 > 6.5.3 ~ 6.5.x
    2. Touch friendliness: 6.5.3 ~ 6.5.x >= 6.5 >> 6.1
    3. Power management: 6.5.3 ~ 6.5.x ~ 6.5 > 6.1

    Native OEMXip vs. 6.5 OEMXip
    1. Total ram: 107 vs. 113 M ==> 6.5 wins
    2. Memory map: 2 slots vs. 4 slots ==> 6.5 wins
    3. Bugs/issues: 0 vs. 3D view in SPBshell ==> Native wins

    However:
    1. Pagepool set to 20 M: total ram of 107 M vs. 97 M ==> Native wins
    2. Memory map: (by recmod) 0 vs. 0 packages in slot 0 (This slot should be as empty as possible for better performance, see Mr. Makk) ==> Draw

    So, in general:
    Native OEMXip wins 2, draw 1 out of 3 comparisons

    =================================================
    Latest ROMs:
    xip6.1(no bug)
    6.1: 2core2.7
    6.5: 2core11.5
    6.5.3: 2core12.3

    xip6.5(more ram, new memory map)
    6.1: 2core4.5
    6.5.3: 2core8.2a (recommended)
    ========================================================
    Features (all ROMs):
    0. Overclockable up to 672 MHz with WiMoSpeed 1.05

    1. SYS
    + remove all useless packages (Onenote, Autoupdate...)
    + NetCF3.5

    2. EXTs
    + Acrobat
    + Album
    + Calculator
    + Camera
    + Games (Bubble & Solitaire)
    + Office mobile
    + QuickGPS
    + Task manager
    + USB to PC
    + Youtube

    3. Added APPs
    + Diamond tweak (credit to MonteCristoffOn)
    + Opera mini 5.1 (thanks to Tortel)
    + PHM regeditor
    + Synchrotime (connect internet to sync time, thanks to Gsoft)
    + Wimospeed (to make your Diam run like 2core, thanks to iwfratz)

    4. Tweaks (following Mr. Makk)
    + Pagepool 20 M
    + Auto align screen
    + Reduce RAM usage
    + Maxi touch sensitivity
    + Power saving
    + ... others
    + Compressed with XPR method, which is larger but is believed faster than the LZX method, see here


    !!!Known issues: in 2core2.4, 4.1, 5.5
    + EZinput will NOT work (It is very nice, but I did not add its dependences due to their large memory usage) Solved
    + NO 3G, IR (3G is still there, go Start/Settings/Connections/AdvancedNetwork: enable HSDPA/HSUPA from the first tab)
    + Pics in Album cannot slide Solved

    + SMS notification: 1- option of 'repeat play sound' is disable ==> open PHMregedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B...}, change key Options to 1073741825 (hex: 40000000), then you can dis/able all options; 2- the phone is woken up on new sms (wasting power, accidentally call...): go HKLM>Drivers>Built In>RIL, set the value 'DisableSMSWakeUpEvent' to 1 (create it if not found).

    + Slow menu animation (in 6.5.3, and 6.5): 1- open PHMregedit, change the following keys
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
    "EnableVSync"=dword:00000000 ;this is the most important, 0=disable
    "AnimationRadio_LS"=dword:00000000 ;these 2 keys may take effect only if EnableVSync=1, feel free to play with them
    "AnimationRadio"=dword:00000000
    2- install wonderful FingerSuite by Francesco Carlucci from here or download from post#2. However, changing settings in 6.5.3 cannot be close, require reset the phone (but settings saved), just a bit annoying.

    6.5.3 rom added

    Hi, I made a 6.5.3 rom to compare :

    Performance: 6.1 >> 6.5 > 6.5.3
    Touch friendly: 6.5.3 > 6.5 >>> 6.1

    I will make a 6.5.x to test later

    touch-diamond2_thumb[3].jpg


    Touch scroll is used to zoom in/out on images, zooming in/out inside the web browser and zooming in/out on emails and SMS/MMS and it doesn't work on 2core12.1. So is there a way or a cab to enable it?

    I got it, we need SmartTouch package. I will create a cab to test.

    =============== edit==========
    the cab is here. if not successful, I recommend you try the upgraded rom, which includes the package for better stability

    Thanks for your great ROM
    I have a question. Is it Tinanium or Sens version?

    Nop now!

    I am trying to create Sense one, please check later (maybe long since I am busy for the moment)

    as the first one to say thanks for the addition to tweaked+minimal and stock-sided roms, i have some words...

    this is great effort from you. as you can imagine most of us are crazed with the htc sense and newer builds. dont let this get you down or if u receive comments abt the old age build version.

    personally i must say...nice one man. i have been tweaking the stock rom (build 20764) myself. so its good to know i aint the only one alone sticking to stock roms and builds rather than ported builds. my signature says otherwise, thats cos i m checkin out 21057 myself

    but this is one rom i wil download and keep in my device from time to time.
