Dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this rom , I love the custom boot images .. everything
So far so good.. I wish in future roms they would tweak the registry a bit (TouchFLO and TouchPanel) ..
I noticed it boots up super fast !!! I love this
But when I go into Weather Plugin in HTC Home it goes in and exits right away.
Also the top bar for taskmanager and etc seems to be disabled
6mb storage used
85mb FREE of memory wow
I just flashed this rom this morning. VERY NICE. I love your cube setup. Very well thought out. Thank you for all your hard work. Quick question. I saw the page pool is 6 mb. Is there any advantage to having a larger page pool. Is that similar to the page file in Windows???????
Thanks Again. Please keep them cooking.....

Yea I'm wondering the samething
I just bumped up the page pool to 32mb and OMG is it fast......Really easy to do and I still have almost 60mb of RAM left. Seems much, much faster.......

I've tried 3 ROMs with PagePool 6mb and they all perform fast .
How do you change pagepool ?
The way I did was through the PagePool Changer program. You run the program on your pc and then locate the image file and select the size of the PagePool and it changes it inside the image file. Then you reflash and restore your backup if you have it. My touch runs much faster and smoother now then it did before. The only disadvantage to do this is it takes away fro you availble RAM. But the vogue has 105 MB or RAM so even after I moved to 32mb pagepool I still had like 60-80 mb of free ram. That is more then twice that of the Mogul. If I can find the like I will post it......
Here is the link... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17963
Download the ROM and extract. The pagepool changer is in there. You can use any ROM.
Hope this helps. Props to the guys over at PPCGEEKS for this one...

We remove Windows Update because there are never any updates, so it just takes up space.
I just finished uploading v16. It is build on the 19209 Windows 6.1 release and went back to 19199 XIP from Kaiser Vodafone.
It also fixed an issue with not being able to copy/modify files on the Storage card via ActiveSync.
The latest build has Remote Desktop and MS Voice Command.
I also bumped the Pagepool back to 12mb, which is what the Vogue comes with from the factory.

WOW yes.. I noticed couldn't copy/modify files on storage card via activesync on XP.. but never had that problem in Vista
So what was the reason for going back to 19199 ? the copy/modify files on SD via ActiveSync in XP ?

5.2.19199 is just the CE OS Build. The Windows 6.1 version is 19209.
As there is no clear documentation on what each CE OS Build does, I decided to switch back mainly for stability. I got a lot better feedback from ROMS based on that XIP, and didn't see any advantage in using the later XIP.
Eventually I will port the XIP from 19209 release Kaiser, but will be a while as I am short on free time this week.
The SD Card issue was a security policy that needed to be relaxed.
Also, I noticed that I forgot to add Windows Messenger into the build.

i like your rom but the only thing that makes me stop using it is that ghettofree uses the telus OEM and i have sprint and for some reason i get way better reception with it than with the sprint oem. if you can make one using telus oem i would surely use yours as his freezes up alot.
before i begin, i would like to know from us, how many program memory's left in our devices?
I have the last Bepe's ROM (0.97 Premium) installed, and some small programs on the intern main memory, they don't really use so much space and i don't think they are the reason of my memory lack, my program memory shows only 22,1 MB memory free, what about your own values...?
What can be the reason for having so a memory problem
I have noticed that most of the ROM developers don't include detailed information about the memory use of their ROMs.
usual values:
after a restart: 37 MB
by using TF3D: 28,86 MB
by using TF3D and some programs: 22 MB
Since you have the Diamond with 4Gb of Internal Memory, why not use it to install the programs?
The speed difference is barely noticiable and you will get more out of the machine memory.
Nevertheless make sure that you are not running some programs in the background. Try to make a soft reset and check how much memory you have immediately after the restart of the mobile. This is the maximum memory you will have.

the 2 Programs installed on the main memory are not bigger that 900 Kb, it could not be that problem how i've said it before. After 2 restarts i obtained 37 MB, but i mean is still to slow....!!!!
Any ideas, about what can i do without to reflash again my device..??

Are you running TouchFlo3D?
This is what is in Bepe's description of his Rom. As you can see without TouchFlo3D you have "only" 64Mb, since TouchFlo3D takes around 25Mb, this goes to the 37Mb you have.
Code:
# Premium Edition boot up memory
* RAM: 64.28 MB
* Storage: 115.92 MB
That is without activating TouchFLO 3D
My suggestion, try another Rom, Dutty's V1.5 is great, or check if Bepe has a more recent one.

I'm running TF3D but the memory values never arrive the 40 MB, just 37 MB by the restart, but it drops immediately to 26 MB when i scroll around the TF3D surface.
Actually I'm using BEPE's ROM because he released a GER version of the ROM, i was thinking to try with an original HTC ROM, but I'm not sure if i do it by now (reason time)
he say that , if you want to free some memory, you need to DESACTIVATE COMPLETELY TouchFlo3D ... without that, you can't have more free memory available.
hey guys...
I use BEPE's ROM version 0.97 Premium GER, too.
I've got no Problems with memory since flashing...
My Diamond runs now for a few hours, TF3D, ActiveSync and little tools are running and i received some mails and worked with it.
I've got TT7 and some little tools on "my device" installed.
After scrolling trought all Tabs of TF3D I already have...
78mb free file storage (Datenspeicher) of 122,91mb
41,84mb free ram (Programmspeicher) of 111,36mb
Everything runs fine and much better than the original old O² ROM
Jason
on swiftbl 5.0 rom I have 57meg free, ver nice,fast rom
if u have also tweaked your device that will also cost you memory data. If u tweaked the file cache and also other tweaks that are above 2 MB you have to add them also with the totaal used memory because the tweak uses the program memory so therfore always concider that in mind and also any tweak with cahe files !!

Whats not working with it,
Please explain a little more, as it is ok on my t-mobile mdac3 with GPRS connection
Can you tell the PagePool Size please ?
Maybe some more RAM could be get when lowering that value to 4MB.
Very nice, thanks you. Could you upload just Manila 2D OEM folder? because I want to cook my own Diamondish Manila 2D ROM with chinese font. thanks
This ROM is good, but still not as fast as YuE v11 Lite-M2D.
49Mb Storage Mem
22Mb Program Mem
Runs flawlessly even with stock Omap speeds.

When a device has a storage card inserted, it'll always consume more RAM however, that's a bit too much. As a work-around, have you tried changing the pagepool to help increase the RAM?
no, PP is always on 4 MB in my ROMs, but now i had turn off my OEM Pack "Storage Manager Settings" from Starbas64 Big OEM package release this do not work well to the RAM of my ROMs. I had try without this, now it is with no SD at 23-24 MB and with SD on 22 MB after 1st boot, after i add my apps i used my hermes more then 8 h i got with SD card 20,78 (i used in this time : W.V.D., youtubeplay, TCPMP and some other apps), i think for a manila2d ROM with BS (thx to joshkoss for the BS-NonBS pack) its ok or is there something else to do to get more RAM ? i think i was too sleepy at that time, 36h i worked on this for my final release

try removing office and you might have a little more ram.. also be sure bluetooth audio gateway's are turned off.
can you try
using my boot RGU from my xip for 21109 attached here. and if that has same also try xip for 21109 attached

ok i try it later today, thx
do u mean the 21109_XIP 1-18-09 from ur kitchen thread, i'm right?
EDIT: i used "Change Rominfo On first Flash screen" from ur tools but "by josh" is no changing to by S4 -_-'
you can get rid of IrDA and others, too:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Carkit]
"Flags"=dword:4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\IrCOMM]
"Flags"=dword:4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SerialIR]
"Flags"=dword:4
and then you can play with cache settings in boot.rgu...
Next thing is to make some XIP modules from regular exe, dll and mui files - it can really give you some significant amounts of RAM.
@josh
had used ur xip 21109 and ur bs files works great(dont removed office and onenote but HTC Opal vol control and large titlebar[+3 MB RAM] ),after first boot free programm storage is with no SD in slot 24 MB and with SD 23,xx MB, internal data storage is at 39 MB, thx
changing the ROM-Info on first bootscreen works now

Edit: after i used my device 4h (install apps &co.) free program storage is a bit lower than 23 MB it is 22,73 MB, add extra oxios memory if i need more RAM

Hi!
your ROM also included a "calculator" and "internet sharing link"?
the part of device about "setting" (system - personal - connection) is the same as the original XDA Zest/ASUS P565 wm6.1 ROM?
The WI-FI and Bluetooth connections works fine like the official(original) ROM?
my compliment for your hard work!
original calc has been removed. Intshare interface is still included.
