1. Unofficial roms are customised for speed etc and often include new improved features. It's best to try a few and see which you like most, or if your happy with the stock rom keep it.

2. It is possible. It's also possible to use push services so email is delivered to your phone straight away.

3. Useless. It doesn't have a flash and even day time pictures aren't of good quality. I came from a nokia n82 which had an amazing camera and the Touch HD is really let down by it's camera.

4. Im not sure on this as i use the default tones. But i think it might be possible to use whatever tone/song you like regardless of length.

5. Yes you can reply to texts by going into the message and typing your reply. Texts are displayed in threaded mode so it's just like a IM conversation.

6. In my opinion the screen is miles better than the iphone. The resolution is great for browsing, viewing photos and watching movies.
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
your questions are not really blackstone spc but general windows mobile spc

1

roms are updated by operators once in awhile to fix bugs or to introduce features

and custom roms can be based on any rom version and include and exclude any feature and or program depend on the rom

2

yes thats std behaviour of email box you change it in setting of the outlook for pocketpc

3

personally i never come across a cmos chip based camera which all phones use which could hold a candle to a real ccd chip that digital cameras use

4

don't know of any time limitations of those but think only wav files are supported as non ring-tones

5

yeah thats called threaded sms's and is the default sms handling

it works kinda like im in many respects

6 well it's bigger and got

320X480 iphone

480 X 800 blackstone

a pixel or 2 more
[Touch HD General] evildead4eva:
The youtube page that i was reffering to it looking like an ipod interface has comments on the bottom and it seems like two people arguing over the ipod and htc touch hd, and it refers to this....

Now I assumed that the HD touch would have had a much nicer display, but got a little confused by this...

Also, in comparison to the ipod 3G is the phone much bigger in its actual dimensions (phone specific rather than operating system based ;) lol )
[Touch HD General] strokedmaro:
Actually when I compared it to my friends iphone the HD is a sliver shorter AND the screen is noticeably larger
[Touch HD General] evildead4eva:
Ideal :D

I really like the idea of customization, and the ability to carry round pretty much a minature PC (obviously not with all the features, the only games i really play are classic lucas arts ones) and the main software is windows based. Would be nice to be able to take some ok snap shots, like with my current phone, and have some nice apps that are a bit different to mess about on. I like to have my emails though, and also MMS. Think the touch HD would be ideal :D
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
" the only games i really play are classic lucas arts ones"

there is a perfectly good scrumm client for pocketpc which makes it possible

to play all old lucas art games on a windows mobile
[Touch HD General] evildead4eva:
Awesome! :cool:

I'll be the envy of all my mates!

One last question.... The Touch (in the UK i believe...) is locked to the orange network. From looking on ebay, the outside doesn't seem to be branded. Are they easy to unlock, or is special software required? I'm guessing a rom flash is all thats required to change any branding in the software?

Also, I'm guessing that you can because of the rest of the spec, if i changed over to T-Mobile, would the HSPDA work ok... And would it work as a usb modem? lol

:D Thanks for all your help so far!
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
You can buy an unbranded model, as far as i know the orange ones are locked and you have to pay to get them locked, there hasn't been a free solution here on the boards yet.

Do remember that the screen isn't going to be as sensitive as the iphones, the resolution is great, but you're talking about two entirely different screen technologies.

passive (hd) vs capacitive(iphone)
[Touch HD General] evildead4eva:
Never had any experience on touch screens other than an old ipaq that i used to have. So never really played with the touch screen on a ipod. Only touch screen i have tried was on a Samsung Tocco but I'm not sure what type of screen that is...
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
the ipaq's screen would be passive.
[Touch HD General] evildead4eva:
It should be fairly easy to use with one hand i hope (for texting). It seems like the ideal phone.

Is the screen easily damaged? It'll be carried around in my jeans pockets and i dont want to add a BIG case, other than the protective slip case that it comes with, as dont want something massive in my pants..... If you'll pardon the way that sounds. lol
[XPERIA X1 General] wurf:
Hi,

Internet sharing used to work when I installed my new laptop last week, but somehow something went wrong and I can't figure out what!

When I connect the X1 to my laptop it is recognised and it starts up activesync. Works just fine.

however, as soon as I click 'connect' on the internet sharing tool on the X1, I hear the 'USB disconnect' sound, followed by 'USB connect' sound. The Laptop (XP home by the way) recognises the X1 and it tries to get an IP address. This takes about a minute and then I get the message that I have 'limited or no connectivity'.

I have uninstalled activesync, did a system restore, deleted the the activesync directory, and then reinstalled activesync (needed for the generic ndis drivers). This didn't help.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

Marcel

now i am offering 1000 usd for the guy building a hack (or whatever) so that i can run windows mobile 6.1 on motorola z8.

why?

if, for some reason, not possible at all, pls explain.

thank you very much for all ur efforts and work u put into your products.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
roms == firmware is embedded software custom made for a spc device

it can't be ported from device to device

your motorola z8 is a symbian device and as such haver never had a rom foundation for it

there have never been made drivers for every little feature of the device

and if the phone don't use an arm cpu windows mobile have never been ported to that platform

i understand. thank you for explaining.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arvin2212:
Hey guys, about 10 minutes ago, i noticed that the start button for my phone acted weirdly. It is appearing and dissappearing as if someone is touching it, but the phone is flat on the ground. My fingers are not touching the screen yet the phone is acting as if someone is pressing the screen. After reseeting it, the touch screen went dead. I can navigate with the dpad but not when i press the screen. So i believe it is time for me to send the phone for warranty.

I am from Malaysia by the way. :)

MY phone is currently flashed (hard-spl) and am running on Topaz Rom. I have also installed the custom boot screen (bios) made available here by a forumer via hard-spl.

My question is, how do i remove the hard-spl and the boot screen that is flashed by hard-spl?

Also how do i remove everything so the phone will qualify to receive the warranty?

I do have the stock ROM but i believe i need to do more than just re-flashing the phone with a stock ROM to claim warranty.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jaszek:
well flashing the stock rom should be the first step. then you have to find the original SPL. someone on here will help you with that, I'm sure.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ptyindian:
ok here is what i did when i sent my phone in for HTC warranty in the US:

1) Flash stock radio or any latest radio from your area (if you remember the number of the radio that came with your phone find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=439566

2) Then flash the stock ROM.

3) Then flash the stock SPL (Find your here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=499791 then follow instruction bottom of first post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=410150

Then check to make sure you have the right radio and go into boot loader to check spl
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arvin2212:
Thanks for the suggestion jaszek.

And Thank you very much ptyindian for providing the steps , which is quite easy to read.

About the radio, i don't think i have to flash the radio since the official latest ROM that comes from HTC's site already contains a Radio. So i am safe here right?

About the stock SPL, i am not sure which is mine. As i am from Asia (Malaysia) , which one should i get?

1) SPL 5.05 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM (WWE)

or

2)Extracted from Official HTC ROM - Southeast Asia - Sintel-English

. Also , what is the difference between the above 2 and this one :-StockSPL_ForWarrantyOnly_SPL190_1.zip
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ptyindian:
Yes if you installed the latest rom that was release by HTC and it has a radio included then you are safe about the SPL i am not sure which one you need to flash but i think the spl1.90 was what came with the ATT fuze i think or atleast that is what i had. Maybe some one else can help you more with the exact details on which SPL you need or you can post in the SPL thread and see if some one helps you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] improwise:
(I'm not 100% sure this is the correct forum, but since it is very ROM related it didn't feel all wrong to put it in here...)

Hi guys. After som serious flashing of cooked ROMs I decided for some unknown reason that I should try to restore a stock ROM. Now, being very tired as I was, i completely forgott that its probably a good idea to flash a new Stock ROM on the unit BEFORE flashing it with a signed SPL....so I just flashed the Signed SPL to the device. That in it self seem to have gone ok, because when I start the unit it say "SPL-1.15.0000". Problem is though that it also says "Upgrade ROM error, please try again" :)

Now, what should I do? Have tried put both signed and unsigned SPLs on the storage card and started up via the volume down/pwr button thingy, but that does not seem to do anything. I have also tried to attach the unit to a USB port when in tricolor mode ("USB" shows up on the screen) and tried the CustomRUU program. It finds the device and starts to "upgrade" (grey screen on the device with 0%) but then it just doesnt seem to get any further...

As the device was working fine with a custom ROM before I started all this, I suspect that the main problem proably is that I now have a Standard SPL with a cooked ROM, and that they collide sort of. I, as well as the Blackstone, is now stuck and I am all out of ideas what to do? Have also tried Hard and Soft resets, but that doesnt seem to change anything.

Help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] PapaDocta:
try removing the SD Card and put the phone into bootloader mode and re-flash the stock ROM! if this doesn't work ... still with the SD Card removed try flashing to USPL and flash the stock ROM again!

hope this helps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
You can try USPL on your HD and flash a custom or stock ROM with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] improwise:
Thanks for the feedback!

Just be be sure, "into bootloader mode" is when you start the device holding down volume down and powerkey until you see the tricolor screen? Then that is probably what I have tried to do for a while now without success (total success that is, I do get into the tricolored screen)). Or maybe I am doing something wrong, could you perhaps point to a detailed explaination besides the one in "HardSPL" thread?

USPL I havnt tried, will do that! Is it still so that trying to do USPL on Vista is asking for trouble?

I read somewhere that Stock ROMs should only be flashed from internal storage, not SD cards, is that true? If so, how do I go about accessing that storage now when it doesnt show up in the file explorer on my PC (PC recognizes it as USB device, "HTC Sync" but I get no file access to it).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
just do uspl it will work;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] PapaDocta:
bootloader mode is when you power off the device and hold the volume button down and press power till you get the tricolor screen...

so here is what you need to do .

1. remove the sd card

2. go into the tricolor mode connect your device to the pc and make sure it says (USB) at the bottom

3. run the stock shipped exe from you pc

if that didn't work then you should try the USPL version.. and there is a guide if you are using vista.. i just tried and worked fine.. here it is

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3331078&postcount=153

and the reason i'm asking you to remove the sd card because if you have a rom (blacimg.nbh) it won't let you do anything it will try to flash from the sd card and right now you don't want to do that.

and you shouldn't put any rom into the internal storage of the phone..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nicelad_uk:
What happens if you do that? will it try and flash over the flash? Proper *&@! it up?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] PapaDocta:
i don't think anything would happen... the file will get deleted when you flash as the rest of the files in the internal memory :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] improwise:
Thank you everyone! The USPL thing solved it, when I did it from a XP machine! The once bricked Blackstone is not alive an kicking again!

About USPL, I saw the workaround for Vista, but downgrading a few components to make it work just doesn't seem like a safe way to do it. And I cant help but to think that it might have unwanted side affects, ie affecting system stability. But maybe I am wrong?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] newtonthecat:
Going back to shipped ROM without bricking?

Hi,

After reading this thread I am now a bit worried and, as a newbie, would appreciate maybe a "simple" answer to my question.

I''ve been experimenting with various cooked ROMs after following the guide in the WIKI for installing HardSPL and then putting the ROM file (BLACKIMG.nbh) on my SD card and installing it using the power on + volume down button method.

However, I now want to revert back to the original "shipped" ROM, which I have downloaded from the list of shipped ROMs via the WIKI (I downloaded the one which closely matched what was originally on my HD - as I didn't know how to backup the actual ROM on my HD at the time).

So, my question:

How should I put the downloaded original/shipped ROM:

RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

into my HD without bricking it?! Do I just run it on my PC with ActiveSync enabled or do I need to do something to remove the HardSPL or something first?

Sorry if this has been answered previously but I get confused when a thread just makes loads of references to SPLthis and SPLthat etc.!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] PapaDocta:
if you have the HardSPL already installed on your phone then you don't need to do anything more.. just connect your phone to the pc and let it sync (activesync enabled) and flash to any shipped rom you want by simply running the exe file..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] newtonthecat:

Hi everybody,

I tried everything Hard Reset, installing the new R3A camera but its still like that. Then i set the quality from VGA to QVGA and the videos dont lag anymore on my phone. But the quality sucks i wanna record in VGA. Any ideas how to fix that so i can play VGA videos without any laggs? I have the newest german rom on my phone.

My experience:

Positives: Very cool: More storage

Negatives: Frequent crashes especially upon installation of new programs. Like I installed new version of spb keyboard, it crashed altogether and I had to hard reset.

It is more slower than 6.1.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] ryanstephney:
i thought it was it was a kewl upgrade until i tried it .............:(

Its much slower than 6.1 not just a little but much slower, looks great but some of the options in the settings menu were missing that i was looking for but all in all i prefer the 6.1 over 6.5....which i loaded back a few mins ago(6.1)....cant wait for 7 next yr to see what tht has to offer but im assuming Viva's processor might its work cut out for it lolololol

Yes I am also of the same opinion. How can I go back to original ROM? Because we have changed the hard spl. I shall be thankful.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jonrulezz:
well, for me, it works great, except it doesnt have windows live and onenote mobile, i had to download it (except onenote cos i dont need it) on my own... speed is okay, not as fast as wm6.1, startup is slow, the new lock screen, honeycomb and titanium is cool, but the panel for email and text is EXTREMLY BUGGY (they show a X sign and nothing else), album and touchflo 2d seems to respond faster, theres a few bugs but they dont really show up much, the new touch engine (or watever the thing is called for the touch scrolling) is great, but theres touchflo scrolling which makes it really annoying (btw, is there any way to remove the scrolling? i changed the registry but its still there)... but for me, its okay for everyday use...

P.S according to the ORIGINAL POST ON PDAVIET, its based on the iolite rom(i think) and i DONT recommend you guys to upgrade to v12 but wait for v13, so in the meantime, use the v11 rom...

i too am trying to find a way... too bad theres no solution yet to change to original spl...
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] vigos:
guys, when you say go back to the original rom, do you mean the version with 6.1? all you have to do is flash your viva again but using the
