No, apparently not!

You can get out more of your device.

In fact comparing the performance of ROMs is very susbjective in most cases. However there are a few benchmarking applications, the results should be quite self explainable.

Normally most chiefs are trying to get stable versions, so if there is anything wrong with the ROM it should be pronounced in the description.

However you are free to try it on your own, as you won't damage anything by flashing a custom ROM at all.

Normally you won't damage anything, but be aware that nobody can assure that. However I'm flashing ROMs since months on a weekly basis and haven't had any issues so far.

Normally it should work on every device.

I suppose you read up some of the threads and the wiki. Before flashing anything you should really know what you are doing, and what is going to be different afterwards. It sounds a bit goofy, but I guess there are enough people out there, who can't say what they are actually doing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Pretty much everything covered by Johnpatcher already/

To add a few things just.

You don't need to do anything though many people are tempted due to the improvements in stability, less bugs/issues, speed etc

Very few unstable roms out there and generally speaking if you look at how long the thread for each rom is you'll get a bit of understanding of how popular it is....i,e, safe, reliable etc etc. Also read this

I've basically tried nearly all roms and haven't damaged my device yet. As long as you use HSPL or USPL you will be fine. Info on each in the wiki

The dummies guide is an excellent guide by a good friend of mine and is intended for complete novices and noobs. If you follow this you cannot go wrong. If by accident you get stuck somewhere following his guide, just ask for help in his thread and many people including cRaCKwHoRe and myself will be more than happy to assist you.

No one's going to disagree with that!!

To answer this persons questions will only encourage him/her and other noobs to post where ever they feel like when clearly this topic info is available by reading searching amd experience.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I agree with you to a certain extent. Thats why I provided a link to wiki & guide for him/her to read up on. But at some point we have all been noobs and to offer a little advice isn't too much to ask for. Afterall this is a community based on sharing knowledge.

Depending on mood I'm in I sometimes just tell them to read wiki etc and other times I offer more. Maybe today I'm just in a good mood!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ASK768:
or we could just refer them to this thread, without the need to come over and appear hostile
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] homer285:
Come on there are hundreds of these threads that get closed because noobs like you yourself are either ignorant or too lazy to read, for those of us who actually bother to read it is extremely frustrating to sift through post after post of the exact same questions with the exact same answers that already have sticky's and/or detailed info in the Wiki.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] squirreleater:
I'm inclined to agree, I'm a noobie, but haven't and wouldn't post questions about 'how to flash' etc etc as there is clearly many many threads about it- you just have to take the time to read up on them before taking the plunge.

Read the stickies, read again- and again, when you are ready to flash have loads of pages open to answer any questions as things happen when you are flashing, Truth is, it's nothing to worry about, choose a rom, install HSPL first and flash away, it does it all automatically for you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] andes83:
Thank you for your quick reply and the information given and to the people who object to my questions actually when you're writing in this thread without a solution or help you're flooding more than me and yes i tried to get the answers form the forum and google also as i wrote in my first post but i didn't get them thats why i аsked and thankfuly people who have been in my position understood what I was implying to.There was no need for hostility ... Whatever thanks again and i hope i won't have to write here again as I see it's making people angry. ;)

Nope, your cannot use it atm with other roms without rosie ui, i think it is currently paired with rosie ui. Unless rom developers could port the widgets to the traditional Launcher.

search is your friend and so is THIS
[G1 General] naguz:
I have by quirky ways rooted a brand new unlocked G1, installed hardSPL, the recovery.img from the big unlock thread, and JF 1.51 (adp version).

But for some reason my phone is still simlocked to t-mobile, and I can't undestand why. It asks for "SIM network unlock PIN". In theDudes ROM I couldn't even get past this screen, in JF I can dismiss it. But still not use my norwegian SIM card. Wy? I can't think where this SIM lock is placed, and couldn't imagine it would still be there after installing ADP firmware... Is this something built in the GSM-hardwares firmware?
[G1 General] cidica:
rooting your phone and sim unlocking it are 2 different things. You need to talk to T-mobile about an unlock code (it's free)
[G1 General] naguz:
Argh, I really thought custom ROM would take care of it. With full root access to the system, is there no way to fix this? Should be. 8P

Can i send T-mobile a mail with IMEI and ask for unlock code? I have my doubts... Bought it from ebay, so I have no receipt or anything.
[G1 General] cidica:
I doubt T-mobile would do it being that it was bought from ebay (but I can't be sure) There might be someone here that may know how to get it unlocked for you that or jsut try searching for unlocking g1 (might come up with something)
[G1 General] Mikey:
Please post in the General for this has nbearing on development of the G1

Thanks

moved to general
[G1 General] naguz:
Sorry, was lurking around in development, didn't consider posting it elsewhere.

cidica: google only reveals payment options, not so interested in that. Google also results in several sites and guides, claiming rooting and flashing custom ROMs will allow use of any simcard. But alas, apparently not. Still wondering if it is something I have done wrong. Why shouldn't a custom ROM solve this problem?

Recently got an Xperia X1 and now i want to flash it.

Been reading the threads here, but i've got some questions.

1. Anyone flashed using Windows 7? Anything specific i should have in mind?

2. Should i simply just get a computer with XP/Vista before flashing?

3. How do i format the MicroSD card? Can't do it from my computer, do i need an external reader for it?

Thank you in advance.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Pyrojester:
You can't flash windows 7, completely different operating system designed to run on a different processor. Look at the available roms, and there are several flashing guides on this forum.

I'm with Telstra as they offer the best coverage and the fact that they give me data connections without costing alot is great so i can use my hd and laptop to use the net.

Vodafone give you great deals to, $29 and you get $150 of calls but i still think the Telstra one is better. When i was the vodafone one, they charge you around 50 cents per 30 seconds or something which is bull****.

Telstra with 40 bucks gives you 9000 seconds which is counted in 10 second increments i think. Also 150 free SMS and you can use that $40 to buy yourself extra calls or data.

Au Mobile carriers

Hi Daniel.

I quit Telstra 10 years ago because of poor service and hi cost.

Was with Vodafone for a long time but got a bill for $600 when I went over my plan last year. Voda don't let you know promptly and accurately where you stand with your usage, (easy to go over without knowing). Got no satisfaction from Voda and switched to Virgin.

Never tried Optus apart from prepaid.

Coverage is on par with Voda.

Virgin use the Optus network but give better rates and low cost data.

I went over my plan late last year and received a courtesy text to let me know. I had a very minor increase for going over substantially.

Am very happy with Virgin.
[Off-topic] T3ku:
Good to hear different opinions !!!

Thanks a lot.
[Off-topic] capeli:
Been with Vodafone, Virgin then Three. Of these carriers I found Three to be the best for my needs. (e.g. cheap)

They have cheap caps and data usage costs are the lowest of all the carriers.

Only hitch is coverage. If you are in a metropolitan area you'll have no issues, but out of metro/low coverage areas you'll roam to Telstra's network and pay thru the @ss for the privilege of doing so.

Good place to start to compare the different plans available.

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=943488

Three and Vodafone will likely be merging in Australia so this will affect prices & coverage.

Thanks Capeli ..
[Off-topic] eaglesteve:
I started with a $10 per month/1GB plan with Virgin. Received two bills with about $1300 each in two different months. Managed both times to prove that I did not incur the usage as they claim. Be careful. They have ways to get you back big time. Now using Optus at twice the cost and same quota. Different billing system although the same company. No problem with Optus so far yet.

Hey, so many Swiss come to AU for Uni.. like Dolph Lungdren he did Uni at Syd, anway just wondered why that is.

Vodaphone is best my friend. I have been with them all over 15years.

You can buy a SIM for $2 to start.

I'm on the $79 plan which gives you like $550 worth of calls, txt etc

I have not seen any other co. offer these sorta deals.

Telstra and Optus are known as the most expensive as they own everything telco related over here.

I guess you will need internet too, so I would strictly avoid Telstra & Optus for Broadband...

I think for $29 you get $150 worth of calls and text, which is awsome! on vodaphone.

I have only ever been over my $79 cap 1 time in 19mths, it costed me like $100, but you can easily dial 1512 to see how much you have used and how much left.. don't worry about that!

[General Questions and Answers] poLiSen:
Hi!

I've just installed Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20w on my HTC Diamond Touch with some maps. But whenever I try to click the "Where to?" and then "adresses", the program will be displayed where the taskbar is and then you see whatever is underneath the program. Let's say the Today page was under, then you see that and you still see the program where the taskbar should be. It's like it cuts the image below the taskbar. And there's really no way to interact with GMXT anymore. Have to soft reset.

Without maps, it works just perfect. I have tried both a Japan map and a Europe map. I've also tried 5.00.10w, same issue there.

Also tried a 4.xxxxx version (don't remember the exact version), then it will just display the splash screen for GMXT all the time if I have the maps installed. Without them, it's fine.

Using the latest official ROM from HTC - 2.03.413.2 - SVE

Thanks for any replys.

[Touch HD General] Franck47:
Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1) How to use (to share) the internet connection (3G) established by my blackstone on my Laptop, using bluetooth? On the blackstone, the screen for internet sharing only appears when I connect the mobile to the laptop with an USB cable. At that time it's possible to chose the type of connection USB or bluetooth. My question: is there a way to get this screen (internet sharing) on the mobile without pluggin the USB cable in order to use directly the bluetooth connection?

2) In the same way I would like to use (to share) the 3G internet connection setup by my blackstone on my HTC Kaiser (WM6.0) also using bluetooth.

Is it possible? Someone could explain the procedure?

The reason to do that, is to use Skype. If I try to use Skype on my blackstone, it's refused by the Telecom Operator. When I use Skype on my laptop sharing an 3G internet connection, it's allowed... I suppose it would be allowed too if I run Skype on my Kaiser sharing the 3G connection of my blackstone...

I know that is possible to do it with WiFi. Bluetooth would be better...

Many thanks for your answers.

Franck
[Touch HD General] tims31:
In the programs listing you should have a program called "internet sharing" which allows you to select USB or Bluetooth. I haven't used the bluetooth setting but it has a settings option so should be able to do what you want.
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
Yeah i just select Bluetooth rather than USB connection and press connect.

Pair your laptop to your phone first then press connect, then on your laptop, click the taskbar icon and click quick connect > Network Access and then select your phone.
[Touch HD General] Franck47:
Thank you all for your helpful answers. I succeeded to connect my blackstone to my laptop using bluetooth and sharing the 3G internet connection.

However, I didn't succeed to share the 3 G internet connection setup by my blackstone on my HTC Kaiser (see my point 2 in my previous post). I succeeded to establish a Bluetooth connection between them, but I never succeeded to share the connection. (The Kaiser runs on WM6.0).

Any idea?
