[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jschledermann:
So unfortunately I have had to test this ROM today. I could kick myself so hard in the butt for not using nandroid to secure my phones default software before screwing around.

I have a Magic from Vodafone in the Netherlands. And managed to brick it while trying to install a new rooted ROM.

So I downloaded the ROM from your link, wiped the phone and installed the ROM.

It installed like a drem.

So far I have seen only one non-working application, namely the GPS on/off widget I normally use. I got another one from the Market and that one works.

Apart from a different theme, the biggest difference with the standard Vodafone install, is the keyboard. Actually I prefer this one of the original.

And then there is the language of course. It used to be Dutch and now it's English. Well you win some and you loose some.

Oh by the way the camera application is also different and much better. On the original install you could only point and shoot. No zoom, corrections or whatever.

Anyway I'm really grateful for the solution you have provided It works well and has transformed my Magic from a brick back into a phone.

Thanx

You know you just vamped a very old thread... This rom is OLD!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] looktall:
i still use it.

i quite like, but it does sometimes feel a bit slow, but i like the camera, the dialer and the ability to sync with exchange so i keep using it.

oh, i like the keyboard too.

when i saw the new posts i got excited and thought there may have been an update, but it appears to be well and truly abandoned.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] looktall:
sorry to dig up an old thread.

i've since moved on from this rom to another one, but the new one uses a different keyboard.

i really liked the keyboard from this rom, can anyone tell me if i can extract the keyboard from this rom and install it on my new rom?

the keyboards are nearly identical, except this one is much more responsive and is able to keep up with my fast typing.

the keyboard from my new rom is the same as the one in the following link.

the keyboard from this old rom looks like the keyboard in the following link, except it doesn't display the extra (light grey) symbols on the keys.

How to ad mp3 as ring signal and sms signal in diamond2??

Kind regards/ F
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overloaded:
You must put them in your " My Documents " map

Then they should be in the list of all the standard ringtones
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamiltonjames:
I think you can just add them to the root of the storage card, or personally I add them to My Documents\My Ringtones.

I think SMS alerts are slightly different. I find you have to add them to the \windows directory.

Hope this helps - my first post!

Cheers,

James.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULJ:
The ring tone can be of Mp3 format. Place the file in /mydevice/My Documents/Ringtones.

The sms alert tone

MUST

be in wav format. Mp3 format wil

NOT

work!

The sms alert tone (in wav format!) must be placed in the windows folder. E.g. /mydevice/windows.

Changing SMS alert tone is done in the following way on the phone:

1) Go to settings.

2) Press left soft key named advanced.

3) Select left soft key named personal.

3) Select sounds and messages.

4) Select number two tab named messages.

5) Select the new messages option and select the sms alert tone after own choice.

Changing ringtone is done in the same way with 5) being to select new call option.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_corp:
On my D2 the audio files don't have to be .wav files. I use a normal .mp3 file as a text alert.

The only difference with my ringtone is that I have to place the text alert file in \my documents, whereas the files I use for my ringtone can be placed wherever I want.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark1962:
Tones for sms must be in your Windows folder just put the tone you want in there. then go to sms tone and select.

trust me i have done it.....

Hi,

I just bought a second hand Ipaq 612c from Hong Kong. I want to change the chinese rom to english.

I tried the win 6.5 and sergie's 6.1 rom but they don't work. I load the FLASH.DIO into a 2gb sd card (newly formatted into Fat16). I held record + mute while pushing the on button. It displays the OS (1.00.04) and radio (0.81) with the message "clean boot" at the top. Afterwards it just loads into the original chinese WM6.

I also tried updating the OS and radio but it won't allow me saying the language is different (CHT OS vs WWE OS) and the sku is different (for the radio).

I tried searching for help but can't find any in the search.

Can anyone tell me step by step instructions? I can't read chinese so it makes this even more difficult :(

Thank you.

ps. I have a 3g sim card that I tried putting in but it doesn't work. other normal sims work right away. any ideas?
[Sable] ekion:
solved it.

From the H91X brick and change any language into english thread i found the existence of the "romupdate.dll"

which lead to further readings and *bam* im done. its in english. yay :)

but still wondering why the record+mute didn't flash and why my 3g sim card doesnt work...
[Sable] ekion:
fix.

found out that my mute button wasn't pushed. I guess buying 2nd hand does have its cons. but after using the stylus to push it the SDLoader came up and everything is fine. the new rom reads the sim card as well.:)

I know I already posted this in the software request section, but I'm posting this here to see if something like this already exists

I want a LOL Builder app. Like you see here.

http://cheezburger.com/default.aspx?v=1

Basically something that will allow you to either caption photo's on your device, or to caption photo's that you take. With several different font styles, and maybe the ability to load more fonts for use with this app.

And also allow you to save it as a png, or jpg file to send to other people.

I see way too much funny crap in my travels, and sometimes I'd like to take pictures, caption it and send it to others.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Dragon-Fly:
Hi,

I have used mij HTC P3300 for about 1,5 years. It has worked fine in the past, but this week my phone is a bit sick. It shuts down after a while, my screen fades out and i need to soft reset my phone in order to cal or text again. I thougt a update may solve the problem, but im a bit confused.

On XDA many updates are availeble, such as Rom Back&Blue V ? and more. I like the screenshots from tom_codon and his ROM's (Rom Back&Blue) but i don't know how to put them on my phone. so i need some help with the following problems:

What is the newest version i can use for my P3300?

Do i need to flash my phone first?

If Yes, how do i flash my phone?

Do i need more steps before i do anything?

On my info screen says the following:

ROM versie: 3.13.404.1 NLD

ROM Datum: 8/28/07

Radioversie: 02.94.90

Protocolversie: 4.1.13.44

ExtROM versie 3.13.404.102

My phone has no simlock, and has all the original software on it.

I know im just another Noob hitting the fXDA form, but i hope you can help me with a guide: Installing a new version op your p3300 for dummies.

Thx!

Ok....you have a big problem..

I've read that if you have a fading screen,you might have your motherboard faulty.

So grab a phone and run to HTC repair center while you still have warranty.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Dragon-Fly:
Hmm, but all other fuctions on my phone are working correct. I may have given the inpression that is happens all the time but it ain't. Sometimes such as after a call, my screen turns black and if i hit the reset button the screen lights up an than it fades out. That made me believe that is is a software problem, so a newer version of WM may be a solution, or not?

Thanks but, does someone has an idea, or anser to my questions?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ark666:
It seems hardware related, though if u want to flash another rom, u can check the USPL thread on Artemis upgrading section, then flash the rom u want.

Good luck.

hi @ll,

i got a HTC TOUCH running the original windows mobile 6.0 rom. Since a few days i want to use the google calendar app and i made an interesting experience: all messages from google are saved to the sim - only the google messages. any other sms i receive is stored in the phones memory.

i tried to solve the problem alone, but i couldn't do it.

has anyone an idea how i can save the messages sent by google to the phones memory?

thanks for answering

So I finally thought the HTC Magic was the new phone to buy cause of it's wonderful features (Digital compas, buildin GPS, 3,2MP Camera, HDSPA 7,2 downlink etc.) and opensource OS Android!! of course. My Vodafone subscription almost ends and I was almost convinced that this phone was the best choice to followup my crappy, almost broken, 2-year old ELF. Now Apple just introduced the new iPhone 3G S which also has a lot of new features that make it really worth to doubt the HTC Magic. Checkout and compare all the features of the Magic and 3G S yourself and decide! Ain't that a hard choice?!

Of course I'm aware that I'm posting this topic @ a developers forum where most users are probably more pro HTC then Apple but I'm just curious what you guys have to say to convince me not to step over to a !p40n3

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wootty2000:
Orange UK seem to be doing what they are best at.

Every time I speak to someone from Orange (once a week for the last 6 weeks) to find out if the Touch Pro 2 has been released I get a different answer.

Back on the 26th May I spoke to someone who had a look and said that the phone was still on the "coming soon" list. He had a look else where and found that the phone was listed to be first released as a SBC (Small Business Customer) phone and then a little later for none business users. He had no date but said it should be early to mid June.

Yesterday I was told there is still no date, but it should be released mid to late June. The guy at orange started to explain how to go about through a 3rd party to get the upgrade but then I lost my signal. I rang back and was then told that the phone would definatly not be out with in the next 4 weeks.

Today I rang up and was told that there is no date listed, but the phone is still just "coming soon". I said about the person from yesturday, but the lady has no idea why I was told a definate no for the next 4 weeks as it could come out tomorrow, 2 weeks, 4 weeks or not at all. I also asked about the phone first being available to business customers and was told that there is no mention about the phone being a business phone and the release would be wide spread across the whole of orange UK. The lady has also put me on a ring back service, will check daily to see if the phone had been released and let me know if it has... While I have no reason to dis-believe this, I dont hold much hope.

I have rang around, but cant find a phone dealer that can do an upgrade for me with the Touch Pro 2

Little to say, I am getting a bit tired of all the different answers I get.

When I got my Tytn 2 from orange it was only listed as a business phone and I think the Touch Pro 2 will probably be the same way

Does any one here have any more information or shed any light on the release of the phone as an orange branded handset, be it for business or none business use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
Firstly I'll say that their ring-back service worked for me. This was back when the TyTN2 was released. They sent me a text on the day it became available telling me to call them, which I did instantly. The next day I had the phone in my hands. So have some faith.

However, the wait may be long, or short.

I used to be on Orange (having been a VERY loyal, high spending customer) for many years, but I have since become very cheesed off with their outdated tariffs and delays bringing phones to the market.

I have now switched to Vodafone, and while I don't get anywhere near as good signal strength, they provide a decent enough service for me.

I am sad I had to move away from orange, but it's too little too late.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
See, I like Orange's service and the service plan I am on is very good value for money and they consider me somewhat of a 'loyal customer'.

I am in exactly the same boat as you, I've been speaking to different people and it's gone from 'within 2 weeks' (this was mid may I was told this) to the phone not being listed on the system, to the Diamond2 being released?

It seems the HD is out of stock and I had been told that it was being discontinued and replaced by another handset. Some reps have told me that it was Touch Pro2 and some have told me they do not know.

I've just been emailing Orange (they have this irritating habit where you hit the reply button and a different person replies) all of them told me it was only going to be released on Business, but like another person in this thread I also have a TyTn II on a personal account.

This morning the Touch HD was taken off the website! So I'm going to keep playing it from the angle of 'What phone is going to replace the HD on the personal account' and 'I want a Windows Mobile phone with a keyboard because I can't stand purely touch screen phones!

I really really want to keep my contract and just get an Orange branded Pro2 :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
Just spoke to them on the phone about the HD disappearing off the website. Apparently they're looking at replacing it with the Touch Diamond2 and when I said does that have a keyboard? He said no it doesn't but the Touch Pro2 does (in a hesistant voice).

I went on to ask whether that would be available for me to upgrade to as a personal user and he said yes it should be, but there is no indication of price yet as it's too early on.

I'm sure the next person I speak too, will tell me otherwise...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wootty2000:
The Orange tariffs seem to suit me quite well... There might be a better tariff for me somewhere, but at the moment my monthly bill only usually differs pennies each month and i can really hammer the phone some months.

When I asked about the upgrade price about a month I go I was told that I would probably get the phone for free being that I am a long time loyal high value none business customer (have been on one of the top tariffs now for 6 or 7 years).

Infact when I got the tytn2 (which was only available for business customers at the time), Orange actually credited my account with £100 for me to stay and take the the phone off their hands.

I guess only time will tell with the rhodium

I just wish that Orange would be a bit quicker at releasing new phones.

Out of interest, I wonder if Orange list the rhodium as having an inbuilt GPS receiver. Orange seem to insist that the rhodium does not have a GPS, although it does have an FM radio :S Come to think about it, they also insisted that the tytn2 didnt have a GPS either when I upgraded to that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
I got another response today from someone that seemed a bit more human.

I'm reckoning I might get it for free, although I haven't been as long term as you with Orange, I just want them to list it as coming soon! It's driving me mad, I can be so impatient with stuff like this sometimes haha.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ed_bracam:
For orange France it's not planned yet...

I wait because I want to by it with mobile contract at less price than unbranded...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ibanyard:
Yup +1 that.... Orange are in danger of loosing out if they wait much longer- Hmm Xperia X2 anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goatistuta:
I've had our company phones with Orange for over 10 years, but have just switched to Vodafone. We save around £500 per month (20 Touch Pro and Pro 2 all free), have all data included in the plan plus managed services with antivirus, firewall etc and the cuistomer service people I speak with are much more responsive than Orange. No problems with connectivity. The choice of handset and talk / data plans is far better than Orange and in the 3 months we've been with Vodafone I have experienced no probs whatsoever.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
See, I've been provided a fabulous service with Orange. My price plan is very cheap and I get a lot for my money. I'm on the £8 a month internet bundle which apparently is limited to 500mb or whatever but I usually use over a gig a month and never get charged.

I'm going to wait it out, I just up hope some new information crops up in the next week. They'd be able to release it if Orange didn't bog down the phone with so much crap!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Steve-C:
Not helpful sorry, but if its any consolation, I am getting the same run around from o2. Least with Orange, they have to keep releasing the 'business' class devices. o2 (I think) are going to limit the new devices to push people towards the iphone (sorry for swearing) or blackberry. Neither of which I personally want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eresen:
I just spoke with Orange business Sales

They say it should be available to first for Business Sales than Upgrades,

It will be available after the end of the 19th of July
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
What's your source, what's your source!? :P

Was that meant to say 'then' rather than 'than'? I'm really hoping that you mean will be available for new contracts after the 19th of July as apposed to starting the release then...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ibanyard:
Orange have updated their coming soon page on the consumer site.... no sign of TP2 yet :(

However I've been diligently checking the page for the past few months (I know, i know...) and updates seem to take place around 14-16th of each month.

Hoping that this darn phone turns up soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
Haha, I've been doing this too. I may as well have it as my homepage.. They have definitely updated the Coming Soon list at least twice this month (including today) so I don't think your theory is entirely true.

Come on Orange! My contract expires this week!
