Well as far as I understand it, unless your carrier offers an OEM Rom with GPS enabled (as mine did w/ Alltel), you will need to unlock your Vogue, update the radio, and then update to a custom Rom. Like I said though, I did not personally have to do this so in this regard I would recommend some hardcore Googling before you do anything else...

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ipassgas:
Thanks so much for the above tutorial.

So do I understand correctly, that the correct order is....

1. "unlock" the phone with 2.31.coke

2. Install the new radio.

2. Install the custom ROM

3. and THEN.... follow the instructions above to activate the GPS?

Am I correct that I shouldn't activate the GPS and THEN install the custom ROM?

Do I have the order right?

Does someone have the link to upgrade the new telus radio?

Anybody have a way to skin the stock contacts page so it matches NFSFAN's rom more? I have my favorite contacts set up in the PeopleWidget tab, but when I click on a person I get the ugly OEM windows mobile look. Tried iContacts but it still doesn't resolve the issue since this the contacts in the PeopleWidget links to the default windows mobile version of the person's contact page...

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] amkorp:
Hey,

Just updated to the Bell Beta 3 rom and I seem to be having a problem after I restore a backup of my text messages using PIM Backup. The phone completly freezes and after doing a soft reset it goes to a blank M2D screen with no tabs. It doesn't even say "Loading Touchflo". I've had it sitting for up to 10 minutes with no change. Same issue after multiple soft resets.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] sarumont:
I had a similar issue with the Sprint 1.08 beta - text messaging kinda locked up, but I was able to close it. The phone ran VERY slowly until I soft reset. It did come back up, though.

I switched the SMS view from Threaded -> Classic this morning, went in and looked at text messages, switched it back to Threaded, and everything seems to be fine now. You may give that a try, though I'm not sure if the cause is the same. :)

That's because the browser tab defaults to Opera Mobile, which isn't included in the ROM. You need to install that yourself. I recommend:

I tried, BigClock_TWolf, and HaVoC_Teal_Manilla2D, none worked.

Pls Help, thnx
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
Are you running M2DC?

I have several skins loaded, they all work including my custom skin seen in my signature.

Make sure the skins are either .zip, or .m2dc files. Place them in your themes folder (program files / M2DC / themes). Open M2DC, goto the theme page, select the theme and choose "apply theme"

If they are cab files they are installed independantly like other cab files.

The ring volume control is not working for me in Sprint 1.08 beta. I can increase the ring volume to any point (it starts out at 0%), but the setting does not actually stick. If I open the volume control immediately after it closes, the volume is back at 0%.

System volume is working properly - those changes are persisted.

Anyone else seeing this problem in the recent round of betas?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] xeongx:
I think M2DC is already installed sense its inside the System tab, but there is no themes folder in program files, there is not even m2dc folder.

Maybe its in another location

No dice. Both WM6.1 Official Roms failed install. The one with .77 radio failed repeatedly at 44% and the one with .78 radio (initially installed with the phone I got, I believe) failed repeatedly at 28%.

I successfully re-installed the WM6.5 ROM, but the problem persists..

I JUST replaced my phone (the old one was factory and its HW failed, replaced by Warranty) so I don't want to take this one back until I've exhausted all attempts at reviving it..

does anybody have any other suggestions? Next I'm going to try to cook a ROM using BuildOS but I don't know what required/recommended options I have..

Also, is there a way to downgrade the radio without a ROM?

OK, I got home and flashed the Vogue Unlock on a VISTA desktop (as opposed to XP at work).. also took out the storage card.. I did the Vogue unlock because a) you have to and b) i was going on to do the ROM, but it worked before I got to that point

EVERYTHING IS A-OK.. The phone hasn't reset since..

I had the storage card out at some point at work but I don't recall if I had done the Vogue Unlock at that point or what..

so to summarize.. XP vs Vista and Storage Card vs No Storage Card.. the latter of both won..

Does not install...

I am not at all familiar with programming but I have been able to install custom ROMS on my Sprint HTC Touch phone in the past. I read the note on this thread that says all ROMS must be installed in bootloader mode. I have no idea what that is but I am guessing that my phone already enters that mode with the included utility update executable files before the actual installation of the ROM on my phone decides to fail. I do get the multi colored horizontal bars screen and I am assuming that this is part of bootloader mode but I am not sure. After the colored horizontal bars screen goes away, I get a blank white screen with a progress bar at the top, it says 0% for a few minutes and then the installation appears to never progress past 0%, and I get an error code on the host PC that says, "ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR, The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update." Well... I am not sure what communication errors this is talking about because my phone is able to communicate with my host PC up until this point. Active Sync is working properly and the cable is firmly in place...what can it be??? I tried this with the Sprint WM6.1 ROM and the WM6.5 ROM and I got the exact same error message. Can anyone please provide some helpful advice?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Snakehn:
Supposedly you put the device in bootloader mode yourself, don't do it from the exe file.

this is from Codybear's facts:

from there you run the utility, just double check at codybear's fact, is in his sign.

also, that connection error happened to me also with the official verizon update, i took the battery out for a few mins and then put it back and it worked again, maybe that would help you.

Problem solved

To those unable to flash the Touch following the FAQ (like I was):

If you do it by the FAQ, the extracted .exe file tries to run a .bat file after extraction, and the .bat file throws and error about the "unsupported path" and fails to work (tried it on 3 computers: Vista x64, x32 and XP SP3). After that I tried running RUU from the extracted directory, but it would always lose connection with the phone in boot mode.

So here's how you do it:

If your .bat file throws a path error - google this error. There is a registry fix to execute. Then launch the .bat file again (not RUU.exe!) and go through the motions according to FAQ - it works fine then, at least in XP.

Battery drain

After I managed to finally flash the phone, the ROM works perfectly, including all soft (iGO8 too). However for 2 days the new fully charged battery has drained to "extremely low" within 9-10 hours with very low usage. After I switch the screen off (short tap on power button) and put it into holster, if I take it out ofter 10-15 min it's noticeably warm to the touch, so something is really sucking the juice out of the battery. Why??? I thought that unstable and low signal at the place we were could do this, but my wife's phone (exactly the same, but with latest Bell stock ROM) was fine, not nearly the same drain.

Is it something in this ROM? Does anyone know how to get the same drain level (or better) as with stock Bell ROM?

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Nope, you'll have to unlock and flash the rom.

There's no possible way to install a new rom with a cab.

Cabs are for installing files/registry changes/programs.

They are purely an installer,

not a way to update.

there's a brief walkthrough with links to items you need in my faq.

Link to the faq is located in my signature.

You did that right,

thanks,

I'll test one of these days soon and then put it in my faq for those who want it. Thanks for the addition. ;)

well you can use reSTART to rearrange the 6.5 start menu,

and change their icons.

link to the original thread and download is in my faq.

To add a whole new program, go to start>system tools>total commander.

then go to the .exe of the program,

(if you're looking for the program on the phone,

its at \program files\, if you're looking for a program on the storage card,

navigate to \storage card\program files\)

Once you find the exe file for the program you want to make a shortcut for,

(it can also be a .lnk file too),

highlight it,

then go to file, hit the ">>>>>" button,

click create shortcut.

then to place it where you want,

press the tree button,

and navigate to where you want it to be at.

for the start menu, go to "windows\start menu\programs"

don't put it in the root start menu folder,

you can place items in the settings folder

if you want it to show up when you go to start>settings.

but again, do not place in the

root start menu folder ("windows\start menu\").

no they will not know

(if they do, they don't care,

they already said they can't live with or without

xda-developers and ppcgeeks).

I was using it a lil while ago,

but it was buggy so I stopped using it.

That is strange.

did you flash to nfsfan's rom from another custom rom or from the stock rom?

if you flashed from a custom rom,

flash back to your carrier's stock custom rom,

and then flash back to nfsfan's rom.

Yes, this could be true.

Also, the stock task manager really doesn't show all of the background processes, even when you go to where you described.

you need a third party task manager program for that.

I use fdc task manager personally,

but I'm trying out a few others.

I'll look into this for you magicalan.

I'll make a link for you when I get home,

not sure when that will be.

As for the start menu thing, look at my other replies in this post for the answers.

Did you change the name of the data connection?

haha, well i don't know why people still like 6.1,

lol, believe it or not I use to hate 6.5 and liked 6.1 better,

but then I fell in love with 6.5 hahahahahahahahhah.

not really, but I learned how to write everything myself

and customize soooo much more.

but hey, if you like 6.1, by all means, stay with 6.1.

he has the touch pro, not the diamond.

And there's been a newer version for a little while,

but we'll see if he upgrades it,

I think he should eventhough I use tomtom with trapster.
