[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
I hope something comes out of it, but i know nothing will so hopefully this will cover it :D

Lol ChumleyEX, to add on what Ather said, that was used to obtain the Kaiser, this thread is used to collect.

I guess I feel that you should ask in rom dev or something or that you shouldnt ask for a phone.

give me a phone, I see more posts in the general forum from me then I see of both of yours together x 2.. sorry this is just me being me.. I really dont' care that much but if I bust everyones chops then I have to bust yours..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] spzero:
a cooked ROM does not nessasarily make a big difference and 99% of the time it will not be a TOTAL change like you have stated and will generaly be very similar to a previous rom apart from a few tweaks and updated software, tho it does vary. 3rd party programs should work on any rom if its compatible with the device and o/s unless a ROM is deffective. However installing backups can cause problems so should be avoided if possible.

the only time it will vary to a large degree is when going from O/S versions i.e WindowsMobile 6.1 to WindowsMobile 6.5

yes this is a great idea IF your having problems however I would only do this if I was having a problem no one else had yet reported. otherwise if a rom is stable just install away.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonajuna:
im with Gede on this :)

this is how i work:

install rom, run for a day as is, nothing else added. test as many things as i can including any of my own little tweaks i make after a new rom

then day by day (ie 1 app per day) i add in my 3rd party software, if i come across a problem, i uninstall the last app and see if the problem is still there, invariably it isnt and might just need a fresh install of the latest version to overcome the problem

yes it can take a week or more to go through this process but its the only way to ensure you are able to install all or most of your apps and have a device that functions well

also, i would say that most of the new cooked roms are really quite removed from the tock rom as they are tweaked with all sorts of oem cabs from different rom versions, whether these are just dfferent area roms, different versions of rom or as is the case more and more, oem apps from roms for different devices

i think the main point to remember in all this is that the cooks, cook the roms for themselves, they choose to share with the community... just because it dont work for you or doesnt meet your need... that doesnt mean the rom is buggy nor does it mean the cook owes you any fix or improvement

its really piddling me off to see how many people come to these forums and DEMAND this that and the other from the chefs

i think we are privilidged and should be grateful to have people here that choose to share their work with us for free so that our devices can be better and more useful then they are off the shelf

iphone users dont have the choice :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
So here is a basic new theme based on the iPhone interface, i called it Gaia because i was inspired by Gaia Vista visual style by Imrik.

THIS IS FOR WAD2

~ Landscape and Portrait modes supported

~ VGA only

~ BASIC interface, mainly used as program launcher!

~ Slide through screens

*Note

If you dont have auto rotation 'Lock image' rotates screen!

Portrait Mode - Lock Screen, programs 1-3 ('+' add application)

Portrait Mode - Notifications

Landscape Mode - Lock Screen, Programs 1-3, Notifications

I left the programs area 'BLANK' so nobody has to remap programs.

Program Screen 1 could be 'Most Used Programs'

Program Screen 2 could be 'Multimedia Programs'

Program Screen 3 could be 'System Programs'

^Just an idea

Feel free to mod/edit/change/hack any of the files but please link back to me

Thanks, Wez

How it works?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Spike1506:
Installation

*Copy Font to windows\fonts

*Copy BOTH 'Gaia iPhone' & 'Gaia iPhone L' to program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance desktop\themes

*Copy 'Wisbar Theme' to root directory on storage card.

Altough I haven't tried it yet myself..

By far the best looking WAD2 theme I've seen.

Any chance of a WVGA version?

Would love to use it on my Touch HD.

Thanks

will it work on WAD3?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mclein:
Hi!!!

I followed the steps and do not see me, and I like a lot. I need help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
Thank you and im sorry i dont have a WVGA device, although feel free to edit the files!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
Ok if you copied the folders in the correct place and if you have a VGA device then you need to apply both the themes in the wisbar settings. Set 'Gaia iPhone' as portrait and 'Gaia iPhone L' as landscape theme.

You need to make sure your storage card is called 'Internal Storage' and nothing else. If its named something else, create a folder on the root of your device and call it 'Internal Storage' then copy the files over.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
No sorry this is a different application
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Spike1506:
This is the first time I use WAD2. So I have a question.

How did you add Phone, Text, Email etc. in your Dock?

You made a nice theme.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wez89:
First you need to create a dock (docks are transparent so i create a template and then the image i want to overlay)

Then you need, tap and hold on the dock, goto new and then button.

Chose a button image for normal and pressed actions

Add a script to that button so it linnk to a certain appilcation or control.

On the button settings you can add text so it appears under or over the top of the button, you can also change, font, colour, and font attributes.

Hope this helps

Installation

Hi wez89,

I tried installing the theme but was unsuccessful. I need your help.

I have Wisbar Advance 2.7 installed and I have performed the following:

*Copied the Font file to windows\fonts;

*Copied BOTH 'Gaia iPhone' & 'Gaia iPhone L' to program files\lakeridge\wisbar advance desktop\themes - which is on my storage card;

*Copied the 'Wisbar Theme' to root directory on storage card; and

Furthermore I have added a "Internal Storage" file on the root of the device with the Wisar Theme.

Problem is that I can't load the theme from the settings screen. Should I try and load the default.dat file from the igaia folder?

Thanks, great theme.

I realize there is a great deal of searchable info on this topic in the posts, but I am getting very confused between what is for HD and what is for Diamond. All I want to right now is have the same background picture on all TF3D pages. I installed the cab BG4AP v 0.2 on my diamond using stock Sprint ROM (U.S.), and the Today page went nuts, the clock just cycled thtu minutes and the top right indicated the carrier was T-Mobile. Is this becuase I didn't disable TF3D, or do I need to hack the reg also? Any help much appreciated.

Really, Jay, that's sad.:( I dunno how to help you, but maybe someone else does???
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
Alright, so I'm a fairly new owner of a Raphael (previously owned a Hermes as you may have guessed from my username), and I've been reading constantly just trying to catch up on all the knowledge pertaining to the Raphael. In fact, I haven't even decided whether to purchase Olipro's unlock yet. :D

Anyway, after testing multiple roms, I upgraded to RRE V4 Final 2 (then seeing RRE V5 shortly afterwards; go figure). Anyway, it worked great at first, but then I soon noticed enormous battery draining. Something like 10-15% drainage every hour. Researching, I discovered some people were able to solve the problem by changing radios, so I did the same.

After some testing, I tried 1.12.25.19, and I'm in love.

The battery problems are gone, the calls are clear, and so on, but the mot impressive thing is how well the GPS is functioning now. When I first got the Raphael, I had to spend three days of testing before I was able to get the damn thing to even work for the first time. After that, I had to wait roughly 15-30 minutes every time I start the GPS up before it would start functioning right.

After I changed to radio 1.12.25.19, though, things seems to have taken a turn for the better. Testing the GPS with the radio for the first time, I step out of my front door, turn it on, and there was a lock in less than 10 seconds. I almost couldn't believe it and I was, of course, happy.

But the really impressive thing occurred less than 20 minutes ago. See, I had made plans to visit a place, and needed to save the address in my GPS. I turned on my GPS software first, but while I was searching for the address I needed, the GPS software suddenly lit up. I was confused for a moment as to what happened before it hit me that there was a GPS lock. In an area of my house which I didn't realize could be done. To emphasize this point, I had owned a dedicated GPS receiver before which had barely been able to get a lock in this area, and it didn't lock half as fast as the Raphael did (less than 10 seconds again).

Of course, the GPS is not everything for everyone, but as I said, battery life and call reception seem fairly impressive too. Furthermore, from my searching, it seems as if a lot of other members consider it to be a fairly impressive radio too. If nothing else, considering the GPS problems some seem to have (including me previously), the ability to get the GPS to work like this is real quality.

(Thanks to all for reading!)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lilhgarcia1:
For some reason i cant get it to install it said its Radio 1.100 when im on the RUU
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
I've noticed the same improvements with this radio.

GPS locks most of the time before the application completely loads, dropped calls gone, battery life improved.

Mine is an at&t branded, with the "leaked" at&t rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
Well, I had tested the Raphael 1.11.25.01 first before moving to the Raphael 1.11.25.19. The former worked well, but the GPS lock was still kind of slow. It also may have been my imagination, but call quality seemed to have been worse.

Did you get the radio from here?: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2822877&postcount=2

Upgrading radio

Never been one brave enough to mess with the ROM's for fear of bricking mine. I NEED my phone hourly for work and personal, so down time for me, monkeying with it, is not an option.

However, concerning the radio. Is it possible to just upgrade the radio portion and not the entire ROM. I apologize if there is a link for this already.

TIA,

James
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuzemaster:
You'll always have the risk of bricking your phone when you flash, but it's not likely. In order to flash a radio you'll still need to flash the boot loader with hardspl first, which will require a backup and restore of your existing data else all is lost. For that reason I'm sticking with my current radio because I'd rather not goof with reloading all of my data and registry tweaks. See the noob flashing thread (including details about hardspl) here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=448008
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
You should totally get the unlocker, then you could flash the 1.12.25.16 radio, which is waaaay better than the 1.12.25.19. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ennepi:
Just go on! It's ok! ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
Oh yes, you can change the radio without changing the ROM. Just make sure you have HardSPL installed first (it won't require a hard reset either).

Hmm, that's the Blackstone radio, right? Even better than 1.12.25.19? Sounds tempting. I think I'll upgrade to it later if I ever get the unlock. Thanks for the recommendation!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
i have a fuze and ive never done a radio flash before on any of my htc phones so i know nothing about it. but gps sucks. i have hardspl and a custom rom. what else do i need? do i need the olipro sim unlock? i spent all my money on this phone and dont really want to have to pay for me. :|
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] behrouz:
This radio is pretty good. GPS works great and I get good reception but my data rates suck with this radio. I originally thought my new sim that was causing the problem but I've eliminated all other factors down to this radio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] euphoria47:
Not true. You can do hardspl and flash a radio without losing all your data. It is only when you flash the actual ROM that data is erased. What I do is the SD card method, where I rename the radio to RAPHIMG.nbh, put it on my sd card root and enter bootloader. No messing around with activesync.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cpnichols:
Sorry for the nub question... will these radios work for any carrier? or do I have to find one that works works with Sprint?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] scotchua:
Definitely do not flash this radio to a sprint phone. Sprint's TP is a CDMA device and you have to flash CDMA radios.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cpnichols:
good to know... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
You pretty much have everything you need already. HardSPL is basically all you need to flash a new radio. The Olipro Sim/Security lock is only useful if you plan to use another phone's radio, but if you're planning to flash another Raphael radio, it's okay.

Really? I use data extensively with this radio (Youtube high quality, Pandora, Opera Mini, etc) and all seems to work well. They do say radios work differently for different people, however, so maybe you should try another radio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Daniel1515:
I'm currently using PROven ROM 2.4 by qsqa, which came with Radio 1.02.25.19. I can't seem to get the GPS working at all with this ROM, but it worked with the ROM that came with my phone (Australian "Hutchison Three" ROM). Soon I'll try flashing this radio version and see if that fixes it :)

Hi, i'm having a vodafone branded htc tp (netherlands) with romeOS 1.90 NLd. Can i flash this wonderfull new radio without probs? Or is it only for AT&T devices?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nr2d:
I installed this radio update last night and so far it looks great.

The only problem i had was it took me about 3 hours to flash "RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe" on my Fuze. I tried everything in the Flashing for NOOB thread but the last time I did something different, don't ask me what, and "HardSPL" finally flashed.

Edit 1: The first time I went out side and started GPS Test it took about 20 minutes to come up with a position. Then I remembered the flash also affect the GPS receiver. I gust went outside again and Google Maps took only about 5 seconds to give a position. A very definite improvement from the stock radio ROM!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
just copy the contents of the radio zip to your sd card root, then hold volume down and hit the reset button at the bottom with the stylus, when you see the rainbow/tricolor window you can let go of the volume button, then hit the power button when it says to. its the easiest and fastest way to flash a rom. took me less than half a minute.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
so ive flashed roms plenty never bothered with radios

just tried this out

if i flash a new rom must i reflash this again? or does it stay
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] behrouz:
Once I switched my radio back to .32 my download speeds went from 300-500kbps(with.19) to around 900 - 1200kbps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kahrma:
Speaking as someone who upgraded to this radio stack then flashed two ROMs since then - MOST ROMs (including the stock AT&T ones) will include a radio, and it WILL backlevel to whatever radio stack is included in that ROM.

Good news is that it takes much less time (at least on my machine) to flash a radio then it does a ROM, as as noted at top of thread, it doesn't erase any of your data/settings when you flash JUST the radio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwb1969:
8525Smart. I just downloaded the RadioRom 1.12.25.19, and there are three files in there.

1. RaphaelWrapper.exe

2. RAPHIMG.nbh

3. rilphone2.dll

From what I've checked in the tutorials, It seems all I do is connect my Phone to my PC(WDMC) and run the exe? I see in the forum I do NOT need to use HardSPL for just a radio upgrade. Also, you said a few times this does not require a hard reset? Just double checking.

Is it that simple? or am I missing a step?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] steveoidm:
Most cooks decide not to include a radio in their roms as you should really choose a radio independently of your rom. So you dont have to flash again. Stock roms do include a radio I believe.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] steveoidm:
Read the first post in this thread! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=439566

FLASH HARD SPL

After that flash the rom, you will not need a reset. You will also need to copy rilphone2.dll to your windows directory, and change the appropriate registry entry. Search for details... Reading and searching is the way forward.

Thanks, everyone, this worked like a charm.

Now the GPS is actually usefull since it comes up right away, even with poor signal.

Battery issue

Everything with this radio works grate except the battery .

Specially if you go to low coverage area or for example basements.

It will drain your battery so fast and you need to charge the phone every night .

Except that, I didn't notice any issue .

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jwb1969:
Steveoidm,

Sorry bout that I did come across that page, but in my excitement to having a working GPS, must have missed it, note. Plus one of the other tutorials in the wiki, does not mention HardSPL, for flashing the radio. only for the ROM.

In either case, about how long should just flashing the radio take?

Thanks,

James
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] scotchua:
No issues with battery drainage here. I left my phone signed into palringo for 14 hours yesterday and still had about 30% of my battery. I also use push email on 3 accounts. Any radio will drain your battery pretty quickly in poor reception as it requires a lot more power to remain connected when only receiving a weak signal.

Aside from the GPS issue bugging me, sound clarity is AWESOME,
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] crazyC:
I think that people stateside find the .19 radio fantastic - some other users (such as me on O2 in the UK) find that battery drain very significant. I have seen this with earlier radios as well. (yes I have the 5.08 Rilphone).

I personally found the power drain too much and switched to the .16 Blackstone radio, which I find so far to be brilliant.

Just my experience - and I wish people would put who their carrier was and at least what country they are in in their posts or headers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 8525Smart:
All too happy to help. :D

Well, I guess Radio 1.12.25.19 can't be a godsend for everyone. :)

No, no, you DO need HardSPL for a radio upgrade, so be sure to get that first. And yes, upgrading your radio will not erase all of your data, so it's safe to do that. However, upgrading the ROM will so backup your data if you plan to change your ROM.

P.S. Flashing a radio is very fast. Well, much faster than flashing a ROM anyway. :D
