[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] demo23019:
You should be asking this in those threads. I myself cant help you cuz im not sure.

Research And if your not sure and dont want to take a risk then DONT DO IT!!

If your comfortable with unlocking your phone and not sure about cooked ROMS. Id recommend installing the official 2.03 ROM that's if you don't have it already since you got if in Dec. But if you don't its a big improvement over the 1.93

As far as warranty. You would be Voiding it rite from the start by unlocking it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chaos_taker:
but on the german vodafone-homepage i could only load the 1.97 version.

know somebody when the vodafone rom comes out. i also don't want to loose my warrenty.

could i install the orginal rom from htc??

i don't want to try something with changing the bootloader or so.

(btw: how bad is my english?? :) )

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Audio book program? I am looking for something that would support chapters, as well as remember where in the book it was left off at even after reboots etc. I would prefer it to be able to remember the position in more than one book at a time.
[G1 Apps and Games] TimSykes:
Why would google, make the market place not send a message out when a app is not updated. You would think that would be a simple thing to setup. just does a check when you open up market place.
[G1 Apps and Games] ValdreZ:
Don't know if this is what your talking about but the program "aTrackDog" works perfectly for checking for updated versions of all the apps/games on your phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] TimSykes:
thats works great, thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] TimSykes:
Ok I have one more question, With this being a google phone, a "connected" phone, why is there not a option for homepage in the contact? Or even a second email spot?
[G1 Apps and Games] mariod1269:
if you go into your contacts scroll down and hit "more info" then , you can add as many email addresses as you like to your contact...there's even a drop down menu so you can pick "work" "home", etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] TimSykes:
Ok I did it on my PC, and did not have that option. Its good to know I can do it there for a extra email address.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Actually that functionality exists in the full desktop Gmail contacts manager as well. You can expand 'More Information' to get a Notes and Other field. Add extra email addresses by clickin the 'add' link.
[Touch HD General] 4varic3:
Hey all,

Nowerdays there r cheap car radios with a USB-connector. So i asked myself if it would be possible to get the touch hd synchronized und loaded with only one usb-cable?

On the one hand it would get loaded by the radio and the other hand i could hear the music from the touch hd, with a direct connection.

Is that possible? If yes...with every Radio? what r the attentions i have to look for?
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
I assume with 'loaded' you mean 'charged'?

The car radio will have generic USB storage drivers, so HD could work as (overpriced/sized) USB memory stick. But to the radio, it would be only that, just a dumb USB memory. You can't use HTC player software.

Depending on the radio, it may have problems with long filenames, or files not in the root, or memory larger then 2Gb. And of course it may not play all MP3 sub-formats. But if the radio is recent, it probably plays most common formats and even larger USB memory.

Charging should work, but the radio may not be set up to deliver the full 500mA power so charging may be slow. Since the HTC is powered on, it may even consume more than it charges.
[Touch HD General] 4varic3:
ye sry, i mean charge ofc

well...i wanted to use my hd for navigation and thought it would be nice to hear the files of my hd (ofc the radio needs to have mp3-support).

so charging is in general with 500mA? doesn't matter if connected to pc or directly at electricity? in that case i would have to look at it at the radio, maybe there r differences
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
usb charge if given 5volt usb is spc'd to provide max .5amps

amps are not pushed they are drawn so if you connect something

which draw .5amps it dont matter if you connect it to something

which can provide 1000amps

a device draw as much as it's resistence set it to

ohms law

amp == volt / ohm
[Touch HD General] projection:
It doesn't work that way AFAIK.

I tested it with Omnia before, with a simple FM transmitter...

I have installed a Blaupunkt headunit quite recently in my car, and I will try my Touch HD in drive mode with it when I go home from work...

I'll let you know the result...
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Correct, current is drawn and if a device draws only 500mA, it does not matter how much the supply can deliver. However, if the supply can only deliver less, like 150mA, you cannot draw more from it. So it is always the minimum of supply and demand.

As to the USB-HTC:

USB can officially deliver up to 500mA, but equally officially, a device needs to first *ask* how much power it is allowed to take.

If the HTC detects a real USB data connection, it will ask the computer how much it is allowed to draw, which will never be more than 500mA, but it may even be less.

Your radio is a real USB data connection BUT as it was designed for only memory, it may not have the actual hardware to go up to 500mA. Or it may not have the communication protocol installed needed to answer a power-query. Therefore it may max out at 100mA.

If the HTC detects a 'dumb' power source (without data connection, only with power) it will draw 500mA.

If the HTC detects a 'dumb' power source with the 2th pin (pin B on the mini-USB) connected to ground, it assumes a extra powerful supply and will draw up to 2000mA.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
The USB slot on my Sony car stereo will not charge the HTC Touch HD - not enough power. It will charge my old Polaris, however.
[Touch HD General] sportyg:
MY carradio charges the phone :D ...

but connecting as usb drive and charing the same time is working only some minutes before´the phone is stopping to work..

-- reset needet.

so still charing possible if using as navigation system or music usb drive without charging.. don't know why.

i am waiting for this...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] crapula512:
im looking forward to see onyx or tess with windows 6.5 but the final version, i dont trust microsoft betas.

however as far as i can see we wont get anything new, just a very very little improvement on the interface but with manilla installed there is not much point for it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] matiii777:
all what i want is the new scrolling :P

lol

hope we'll c a new elf rom with the 6.5

go our rom cookers :P
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jeremy89632:
Great.

Thumbs up for this idea.

Yes, I agree and i await for 6.5

Probably Onyx can come out with somrthing like, Onyx Alpha or something.

That will be cool.

But always remember, Family First.

Go out with your family, and balance it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] alvy:
gwes.exe from 20769 built already has new MS scrolling and as for me it's much better than default HTC scrolling.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] letama:
Hello All,

I ported it to Elf to have a look at the new stuff.

A bit of warning: It's very rough, and my port is even uglier, it could brick your device or not boot. Flash at your own risk.

You probably need a recent patched SPL to be able to flash it as it's very small (<50M).

It works fine on my Elf, not sure about Elfin. Pagepool is way too high for Elf in my taste. After installing cabs and reboot, the new Home and IE are working.

Don't expect much support on this, I'm not a cook and my main phone is a diamond, I did it just to have a preview.

You can find it here:

BOB has made it for kaiser. Nice & fast one. A blend of 6.1 & 6.5.

Nice to try, see kaiser ROM upgrade section.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shithead:
I thought the 6.5 ROM was a beta.

So the final is flying on the net now?

Anyway :) I hope someone can cook a great/stable 6.5 for Elf :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] corepda:
no final one is still not on the ground but it seems we will very soon may get it. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shithead:
So what's the big difference between 6.1and 6.5?

Is it just performance, like 6.1, or is it more finger-friendly => which was for WM7, isn't it?

Getting Confused now :P

But i'll wait for the 6.5 :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] majesticpark:
Zune integration?

Does 6.5 really come with Zune integration?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] greatsokol:
Works on my elfin, thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] miky6682:
sure that it is a beta?

looks too good on my elfin

wmp missing
[Touch GSM ROM Development] letama:
Well, I can't comment on performance, it's really speedy on the Elf but the pagepool is big, I will have to check with my usual pagepool to compare. I heard that the 211xx OS are speedier though.

If what we have is real 6.5, a few things have been added, especially a new today screen and a slide to unlock replacement for regular unlock (see screens attached).

The leaked rom didn't have anything like this, however the graphics seem to get inspiration from Zune.

Yes, saw that wmp was not in the build, maybe to make room for the famous zune integration later, I don't know.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] berchielli:
Great!

Can't way to have this! :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shithead:
Thx for your answers :)

But honestly...what's pagepool?

I read it everywhere, but I don't know what it does :confused::confused:(dumb!)

And it looks like HTC Manila, but instead scrolling from left to right, it's from top to down.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] letama:
Pagepool is a cache in memory to speed up things. The value is fixed during cooking, from 4 to 24M, the higher it is the quicker is your device. But as Elf has only 64M, I used to keep it low on my device.

I didn't check the pagepool on the 6.5 build, but it has 46.90 Mb total, meaning that pagepool is probably 12 or 16M.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
Nearly, but not quite there...

This is a supremely fast ROM. I really really like it. DIscovered that Wisbar wouldn't run, but was prepared to sacrifice it because it really is so very fast.

However, discovered a bug today that makes it unworkable....

The mail setup wizard is faulty won't let me set up an email account. Strange, because it did yesterday... but once set up, no mail accounts appear in the options screen to edit them - you need that to set up IMAP gmail... Tried hard resetting several times, no luck Anyone else out there flashed this on an Elf, can you see more than the SMS account if you hit menu...options form the messaging app? Or is it just me?

This one is highly risky as it is, I suggest you to try another rom and read carefully all the stickies before doing anything. When you feel confident enough with flashing, then you could try this one, but in my opinion it's not worth the risk as it is.

It's probably because rom is < 50M, it requires SPL 3.07 or 3.10 that allows this, see post #5 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408637.

I managed to cook up a ROM for 6.5, by porting the XIP from the Diamond thread, and porting the SYS from the Blue Angel kitchen. The noticeable issues I have now are:

- the title bar and bottom bar are blue instead of grey/black, but I get the new wallpaper

- if I try to install the CHome.cab and then reboot, the device shows the wait cursor spinning forever.

- Autorun customization doesn't work

nice screenshots....looks cool....with which SPL has this to be flashed???
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shithead:
Wow, thx for the pro's and cons :-D

So you said it's faster (probably because of WMP). So it's faster than the Onyx Rom or other costumized ROM?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shithead:
Thx for the explanation :)

So the pagepool uses the "Program" memory in the Memory-app in Settings?

There's no tweak to use the SD card for a small Pagepool?

So it's actually like a Pagefile on computers?:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hardikrajgor123:
maybe we have to wait for a final release....since the camera aint workin....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] melih43:
its really so fast. I didnt use my elf like this before. I think there is no relation with wmp or not about speed. I think Microsoft create a better version of windows mobile like Windows 7 :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
looks very nice. Not sure if with the "normal" apps (wmp, office mobile, camera etc.) it will still be fast?? Before i flash this to my elfin what does the rom include because if i just have the new interface from 6.5 and don't have the rest (just the simple configs to use like sms/mms, network wizzard etc.) what's the point...... Please help a noob by explaining what's in this rom.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] melih43:
just wmp is missing? office mobile is available in the rom with word and excel.

You have to use at least 2.28v2 spl to flash wm6.5.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] letama:
Yes, pagepool is using the program memory (RAM), that why you can see the total memory changing from one rom to another because of different pagepool values.

And no, it's not like a pagefile, it's reversed in fact. Pagefile simulates ram on disk, pagepool caches slow disk (flash/sd) in fast ram. So there is no gain in trying to use flash/sd as pagepool, just reduce pagepool if you want more program memory.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
When i installed the rom "touch of kwbr" i installed 3.10 do i now have to downgrade to 2.28v2 (?). Ok is the rest inside the rom or do i have to search for it
[Touch GSM ROM Development] letama:
3.10 is fine, no need to downgrade. You may want to wait a little, I'm almost done with a new release more conventional with camera and few stuff fixed.
