Hi,

Ive heard so many possitive comments on the new ROMS including nk02's ION Multi5 [board 32b] it and im really looking forward to using them but i have quite a few questions regarding doing so.....

Can the standard built in ROM be reverted with the settings and apps?

Does it delete all of your current contacts/pictures and apps?

lastly would it be possible to please post a step by step guide on how to install roms / nk02's ION Multi5 [board 32b]onto the HTC Magic google/Vodafone edition.

Ive used this forum when i owned a Omnia and its extremely helpful and the guides are very clear and informative. But the Android things have left me scratching my head.

Thank you for your time!! ;-)

thats wicked man, thank you

Will i lose my current apps and contacts/Vodafone live settings doing this?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bachviet:
Yes since you have to do a wipe before flashing the new ROM. However after you sign in to your Google account, you could re-sync your contacts and re-install the apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:

Can someone tell me what that is and where to dl it. Also is there a tutorial on all i have to do to make it work because i dont want to brick my phone

You already posted in the Apache section & that is where you should be looking or your bootloader & ROM. Read the rules before posting.

Hi, I am travelling to the Dominican Republic on Friday and I realise I will be charged £6 per mb of data used. I am going to stop all data usage on the phone, however I remember reading something a while back saying that some apps can override the no data whilst roaming option in settings. Is this true or will I be billed £0 for data usage whilst I am there with this enabled?

Thanks for your time.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
yeah your right about that some apps override your data settings. i read an article about a guy who went overseas and came back to a higher bill than usual

[G1 General] pinetreehater:
can anyone tell me what the ADB shell command is for going up one directory. I can use "cd" to enter a directory, but always have to exit because cd.. doesn't work like in windows. Also tried cd home, to no effect.

Thanks,

Will
[G1 General] Saiboogu:
cd ..

Notice the space. Windows forgives leaving it out, Linux doesn't.
[G1 General] pinetreehater:
oh...you are the bomb. I was getting so tired of having to exit just to go up one directory.

Thank you.

[G1 General] Saiboogu:
No problem. Another quick tip, cd / takes you all the way to the root of your file system. Just in case you get lost somewhere :)

[Touch HD General] laguna33p:
Im running the original WM6.1 rom on my touch HD and have both copilot 6 and iGo8 installed. But today while using iGo8 it went crazy, giving me wrong directions and starting to re-calculate a new route. I tried copilot and the screen did not move at all despite me driving along. All the other features of these sat nav programs work fine as before and the device seems to be functioning normally with texting, calling etc. Has anyone experienced this? I'm beginning to think it might be a hardware problem because I've not changed any of the settings and it stopped working out of the blue..
[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
Same thing happened to me when using Garmin, not sure what the pron was I just did a soft reset and it was sorted try that first
[HTC Excalibur] audiofx:
I've had my Dash 1 for about a year now and happy with it. I upgraded it to the 6.1 rom.

I'm not sure if I should upgrade to the new Dash 3G. I use my phone mostly for IRC, texting, and corp email. I try to web browse with IE/Skyfire but most of the time, the phone will run out of memory due to the heavy email client that I need to use (Good Messaging).

I do not see any thing that the Dash 3G will offer me that I don't already have. Stable web browsing would be nice though. GPS a plus since I tend to rely on Google Maps.

Is the Dash 3G the must have upgrade for us Dash 1 users? Since I bought my Dash 1 at full price, I still qualify for the 2 year contract for $169 at T-Mobile (I hate contracts!).

I was considering posting this in the Maple forum, but it would probably get more views here.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
D3G has alot more RAM and a higher clock speed, plus the keyboard looks easier to type on. If your happy with your Dash you can just hang on to it until the price goes down on the D3G in a few months. With higher end phones being offered on AT&T for cheaper w/contract, I can see them lowering the price sooner than expected.

From what Ive seen it definantly is an upgrade for Dash users, and cooked ROMs are already in the works. I cant wait to get my hands on one, especially since im in a T-mo 3g area.
[HTC Excalibur] josh909:
I am a currently on T-Mobile and was just about to switch to AT&T, mainly because I couldn't use 3g with my Tilt. I really wanted 3g speeds since you can do 'internet sharing' in windows mobile, then tether it to my laptop via bluetooth. This would open a whole new world for me...I've only had my tilt a few months now...and I'm itching bad for 3g.

I'm not sure on t-mobile's stance on tethering, although when I was on the phone with one of their escalation techs for 'non t-mobile phones' in the past, they were pretty cool with giving me info on tethering, and even refering me to xda-developers. I'm sure their default Dash 3g will probably be missing the applications for that option though.

I'm still trying to decide if I should get the new MyTouch vs. Dash 3g...I've read about google blocking an app that allowed Andriod tethering, does anyone know if its still available/possible?
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
I have had my 3G for about a week. It is a great phone. I miss my Excalibur, it has been the best phone I have ever owned and the support and ROM's here are absolutely awesome.

Do you have 3G service where you live, work, and/or travel often?

Are you running applications that exceed current memory?

Are there applications that you do not run because of speed and/or memory limitations?

I will say that I absolutely hated to shelf the Excalibur but I do enjoy the speed of the device and the data network. Tethering is the same as the previous model. The battery life is great, and the trackball took getting used to but has become indespensable. The first couple days I really debated keeping it, but am glad I did....at least for now.
[HTC Excalibur] jdshifflett:
i think if you're in a 3g area and can hold back on getting better cooked roms and want to deal with a blackberry wannabe retard trackball then you should go for it. i ordered one just off the principle that the silver piece on my dash started peeling off and i needed something that wasnt fallling apart but.. i love the dash. although the buttons on the 3g are amazing. no joggr though... :( who says you can't swap your sim every once in a while. i hear you have to get a different data plan for the 3g service though.. not sure yet but i'm sure someone does
[HTC Excalibur] takeastand:
I'm looking on Ebay at the Dash 3G and I'm not seeing any that's unlocked. Does anyone know if anyone has unlocked a Dash 3G yet? I need to use in on AT&T.
[HTC Excalibur] audiofx:
I really can't see any benefits to going to the Dash 3g.

- No 3G service in my area

- Same screen, same resolution as Dash 1

GPS would be nice, but I'm planning on getting the next iPod Touch which is rumored to have it. Can't use iPhone because I need corp email.

The Dash 3G would give me better web browsing and probably longer battery life. For $169 with no contract I would probably pick one up. I hate signing the 2 year contract in case I want to switch phones. The Dash 3G might really show it's age in 2 years.

But I am a fan of the Dash. I cannot stand stylus/touch screen on the other Windows Mobile phones.
[HTC Excalibur] audiofx:
and I just read Telenav is $9.99/month. I will not be getting GPS on the Dash 3G then.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
Thats why I use Google Maps and amAze, its free!
[HTC Excalibur] AKMark:
3G Tether

My friendly T-Mobile rep told me that T-Mo will not support tethering any 3G phone because they don't want to sacrifice the bandwidth.

My solution (until last week) was to use my G1 and swap my sim to my Tilt when I needed to tether. That stopped last week when my G1 suddenly started to refuse any data connection with a notice that I needed to change to a G1 compatible data plan.

More discussion with the T-Mo folks has gotten them to offer to replace my G1 with any other phone, and I think I may go to the D3G and then keep my Tilt charged for tethering until there is a D3G rom that will support it.

Thoughts?
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
I tether my 3g dash often (like now) without issue. They may be trying to stop those that are not paying for the 3g plan from utilizing a 3g phone/data by putting the sim in a 3g device. Just a guess, but I have not had an issue.
[HTC Excalibur] Greg530:
I had the Snap for a day. Then returned it. Mainly because the Menu keys were bad quality (getting stuck, etc... see my detailed thread in the Maple forum).

Other issue was the keyboard layout. Yes, the keys are huge but they are too crammed and you can't feel the gaps between them and it's harder to touch type. I also prefer the grid alignment of the Excalibur.

Trackball was useful although web browsing still seemed sluggish.

Battery life seemed nice (limited experience), GPS is definitely welcome.

Overall, I expected to be blown away by the speed improvement (faster CPU) but wasn't. Yes, it's better but not THAT much.

Had a brief love affair with a sweet Samsung C6625 but left it on the shelf (because I love this forum!).

I will probably upgrade some day, but this keyboard bug has to be fixed first (I'm not the only one)

Greg
[HTC Excalibur] audiofx:
I went to the T-Mobile store and played with one. It was definately nice but not game-changing. Like I said, I already have Win 6.1 on the Excalibur.

I would grab it for $169 straight up without the contract. But not with a 2 year contract.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
I had a hands-on today, awsome phone, I love the keyboard. Cant wait to have one.
[HTC Excalibur] digital81:
I upgraded from the old Dash to the new Dash 3G. I can say that I am not disappointed at all.

Bigger keyboard, longer battery life, faster cpu, definitely worth it.

I use my phone to keep in touch with my customers via email as I am always on the go(this is where the bigger keys help). I listen to Sirius with the SiriusWM5 app all day(benefit of the bigger battery). Also, doing both on my old Dash seemed to be laggy, switching between email and my media player, causing audio to skip, or having to wait a few seconds just to see who sent me an email. New model I can do this with no lag, skips, or delays(this is where the faster processor in the new 3G has helped out).
[HTC Excalibur] Telyx:
Actually, you CAN edit on the Dash 3G--but it's really not obvious and I don't recall seeing this in the manual. Use the Sliding Panels Media home screen layout, then go to the My Pictures panel and press the trackball. You get the old Pictures and Videos app, which allows editing!
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
I think there is already a D3g ROM out here on xda in the maple forum.
[HTC Excalibur] jdshifflett:
Ookba has released a HTC Maple rom, and it's stable working almost as well as his current dash rom. but other than that there isn't too too much stuff over on the forums yet. Ive been meaning to go check things out but once I got my dash 3g its sat in the fricking box waiting till the time is right..
[HTC Excalibur] chemao:
NOPE

Well, I'm sorry to say that if it's working on your phone that's great -- it does not work on this one. Clicking the trackball just brings up the image that's selected, and the menu from there lacks any editting abilities.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TheATHEiST:
Hi ive noticed that some users still have v8.5 and some have flashed back to this after trying some version of WM6.5 so was just wondering what is the reason for using 8.5 and not updating to 8.9, Is there anu bugs or better features etc etc.

Also curious of opinions on the best overall WM6.5 rom for a 64mb uni.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Well

I can say I have tested almos all

So in general all versions are very good

8.2 and 8.5 are very stable, fast and exelent battery life

8.9 is also very good but as has more visuals is a little bit slower than the other versions

6.5 is fantastic!! wonderfull visuals new UI good battery life but is not as fast as the others (6.5 eats more RAM and program memory)

My recommendation is test all! and decide for yourself:cool:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] vester:
i think 8.90.... for 64Mversion.... :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
I personally like 8.9, but until then went through all Tomal's ROMs from way back when it was still Ranju. I have 6.5 running on my testing Uni, I am unable to use it in everyday life due to RAM restriction, it means most of my programs don't run and I am out of memory even without anything fancy running. I quite liked 8.2 and 8.81 as well.

I have a separate folder in my WM folder called 'Tomal', it has a collection of Tomal's ROMs :rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] asuled:
I flashed 8.9 and 6.5 but I came back to the one on my sig.. to each is his own I guess.. 8.81 is fast enough and has reasonable free space to load apps.. for me at least.. :)
[HTC Excalibur] dna1678:
Hi -

I still had the original Mobile v5 on the device. Last week it started crashing at power on. After getting advice from the CSR to perform a hard reset, not the entire device does not boot up at all.

Can I (re)install the OS directly onto the device? Obviously, I have no ActiveSync connection anymore.

Thanks.

Dna
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
You need to do it the bootloader way.Turn your phone completely off. Pushing the camera button in, plug in your usb cable. The tricolor, bootloader screen will come up and you can flash your regular OEM ROM which can be downloaded from one of the stickies.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Irregular Programming:
In the slim chance that someone might have one or are going to look at one.

I've preordeded an urban brown version, but it would be nice to know what it actually looked like before choosing that over the white version.

All the pictures I've found of this cellphone are the crappy renders that HTC spat out to the retail stores, none of the actuall phone itself. Videos and images of the white phone is everywere though.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Irregular Programming:
Thank you, but that's just a 3d render of the phone which would look nothing like the phone would if I held it in my hand.

I did look for this both on google and youtube before posting here, and I can't find any real imagery of the brown telephone at all.

Thank you, but what a crappy picture.

I change my order to the white version so that I know what I am getting. I also heard that only the white phone would have the teflon coating.

Is that true?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
I also heard that...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] enlightener:
i've found some photos of the white and black one,

http://android.hdblog.it/2009/07/10/exclusive-htc-hero-photoreport/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
From what I've read:

They all have the teflon / grip coating on the back

edit: OK, nevermind. Just every conflicting stories. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3yZjYbs6Mo) has a brown or black version with the coating.

HTC itself said 'for now' only the white version has the coating while they are working on more colors that will have the coating (after initial launch). (press statement)

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

The white one is the _unlocked_ phone. That's why all the pictures and reviews are about the white one. The brown one is the default one 'in combination with a provider'. The pure black one will probably be reserved for T-Mobile (or dark-blue tints somewhere?) etc... I know that T-Mobile will have exclusive black, Orange will have graphite, brown is 'regular' locked and white is unlocked.

So I'm kinda surprised that you can order an unlocked brown version. Or if you are ordering it locked from a provider: I'm kinda surprised you can switch it to white :).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Irregular Programming:
The brown version is unlocked here aswell.

Hi,

I got it from HTC for testing purpose. Work at the largest mobile phone distributor in Norway.

A great phone with a unique UI, great 5MP autofocus camera and Marked with lots of free applications that gives you the possibilities to download programs of your needs. I really love it. In Norway we are still waiting for the Marked with possibilities to buy applications. Will hopefully be released later this year by Google :-)

Attached you will find a couple of photos taken with the 5MP camera on the phone, enjoy.

Wow, they're really good, a lot better than I was expecting. Thanks
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] toadlife:
I recently gave my Wing a makeover. New screen and new complete Black housing and buttons.

Check it out!

A warning though. Replacing the housing is not for the weak of heart, especially if you replace the middle part, which I did. Transferring all of the buttons and other misc tiny parts was a bear!
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] WhatzinyourphonE:
yea im glad u posted this. i saw ur signatur pic. on a scale 1to10 how hard was it. and where and how much was the change? im tempted 2 do this
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] toadlife:
The black enclosure + buttons was $50 on E-Bay. I've seen enclosures sell for up to $80 so you have to shop around a bit. It''s not too hard to replace just the back and front cover, but replacing the middle is really hard. You can go without replacing the middle part as it is already black. You have to completely disassemble the phone to replace the front cover as it is screwed bolted on from the inside.

There are videos that show how to disassemble the wing on youtube.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] kristopherson:
WOW! I love the chrome accents and buttons. I replaced my housing completely about 6 months ago and it was a mutha... but worth it. I wish I'd seen the chrome buttons before tho... It looks... dare I say... Sexy!
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] apreichner:
Personally I think it should've looked more like this.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] kristopherson:

[Wing, P4350 Accessories] hypertek:
wow looks great, brings more life back into the phone since its kinda aging.. too bad it cant make it slimmer lol.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] hypertek:
hey do you usually keep the phone naked or you have a case on it? i know i rock a case and it does add a lil bulk to it.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] toadlife:
I keep it naked, except for a screen protector. I can't stand the bulk those full body cases add.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] WhatzinyourphonE:
Toadlife? what happened to your wing? Why does your sig say that?
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] toadlife:
It died. It will load the bootloader, but won't flash the OS. My phone is bricked.

After doing a bit of research, I'm pretty sure it's an unfixable hardware error.

I get an "error [322] invalid command" when I try to flash, and in searching I've found no record of anyone recovering from that error.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] WhatzinyourphonE:
Wow, just goes to show. As easy as it is to flash, its still a very risky thing to miss with. sorry to hear that. Just one more reason to get the TP2 rite!!! Naw but hope u find a replacement.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] toadlife:
It's didn't die right after a flash, so I don't think flashing caused it. I think it is just a random hardware failure.
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] Diagrax:
Man thats suxz mine doesnt even turn on anymore
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] toadlife:
You might have the same problem I have.

Try this:

Plug the phone into the charger or USB cable (in case your battery is dead)

Press the power button and hold in the camera button.

If you phone doesn't go into the boot loader, press the rest button while continuing to hold in the power button.

I thought my phone wouldn't turn on either, but later discovered that I could get into the boot loader - not that it helped me! :mad:
[Wing, P4350 Accessories] Dr.Gonz0:
Funny thing is my wing is so heavily used the casing is practically black. The chrome buttons look pretty dope :)
