[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kman123:
Definitely something im gonna do then, would make life so much easier. Ive seen how youtube on some peoples mobiles work, and it is rubbish using that annoying mobile site.

Thanks for that list, the sort of thing I was looking for. Im going to download that uno game right now and check it out in a bit. it looks quite good, lol.

I wouldnt have called that a good tip if you just left it at that first sentence, but because you gave good examples, like the opera updates, and cooking ROMs, shows what I can learn once i start reading through the forum properly.

I just needed a few beginning tips cuz i wanted to be prepared quickly before my phone arrived. Now it has, in a few days il start searching properly and learning more on my own, but couldnt have done it without the advice given so far in this thread.

Thanks to everyone else who has posted aswell, the advice is well appreciated. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kman123:
Just wondering, did you get your htc rom from their website or did you use one of the stock roms from this website. As some of the ones on this site say they're from asia, and the rest say unknown, so dont know which one to flash my phone with.

Also, did you backup your stock rom, or do you just use one from here if u ever need to go back to it? thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harisg:
I suggest to all beginners to spend some time to get acquainted to their new device.

As their new device is running a stock ROM, I suggest the following (revisiting an older post of mine):

1) Install Resco Explorer

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp

2) Install

all

HTC hotfixes for Diamond 2

(http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=249&act=sd&cat=0)

3) Install .NET Framework 3.5 (requirement for a bunch of 3rd party software)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en

4) Install SKTools (needed for many things but especially for next step)

http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_products.html#tools

5) Use SKTools to disable ActiveSync (results in huge improvement of battery duration)

5a) Disable the repllog.exe (which is the application behind ActiveSync) associated with ""AppRunAfterTimeChange"" in Notifications Queue

Alternative way is to install Dotfred's Task manager and kill repllog.exe: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3175757&postcount=50

5b) Follow the steps 1-7 in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=288352

5c) Install eLiAs_ASyncKiller.cab

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3048077&postcount=40

6) Install HDTweak for various tweaks (eg for improvement of TouchFlo response)

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452505)

7) Install sdkcerts (needed for "cosmetic" interventions eg Hall Feica fonts in TouchFlo, slpashscreens, topbar etc)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471604

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3661976&postcount=80

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3861405&postcount=2

8) Install Diamond D3D Video drivers using the first attachment from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=475493&highlight=ATI+3d+driver

Before installation download and run the fourth attachment (Lights.exe)

Install the drivers and then run Lights.exe again to see the huge improvement

9) Install G-Config (for forcing applications to go into landscape mode)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3848546&postcount=3

10) Install CleanRAM (for reclaiming back some RAM)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=514333

12) Install PIM Backup (for Backing up Contacts, Calendar, Messages etc)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299705

13) Enjoy your Topaz

After feeling that you have understood the philosophy how your Topaz works, move on to a cooked ROM.

Cooked ROMs include many features, thus you don't have to follow all the 12 steps I described above.

Don't be overwhelmed by a ROM's looks. Choose stability over looks + new versions of cabs and TF3D. I recommend as a start the TESS 2.0 (+ its 2 fixes of GoogleMaps and Call History)

P.S.:

Backup your Contacts, Calendar etc frequently

Read a lot & don't post before you search

Cheers

Hi,

I've had the Diamond2 for a few days now.

Having turned off button sounds in Windows settings, I still get button sounds using the TouchFlo onscreen keyboard.

How can I turn off the keyboard sound?

OK i think i completed the ROOT process. my main quesiton is how do i know that my phone is actually rooted? is it one of those scenarios where if i was able ot flash Cyanogens 3.9.10 ROM and also FLash the normal Mytouch Splash screen to replace the red Vodafone splash screen that my phone i indeed rooted? is there any way to tell for sure that my Mytouch is indeed rooted i gues is the simple question.

my next question is how hard is it to now move forward on to one of the more indepth HERO type ROMS that require the 3 partition SD cards? i would like to try this soon bfore i get too attached with my current ROM and start loading the phone up.

and my last question if anyone can answer is how to i store apps on to the SD card and not the internal memory? i understand im not supposed to download any 3d party app2sd programs.

thank so much for the wonderful work from the members of this site! so much knowledge on here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motivecc:
RA's recovery image has a SD format option for the 3 partitions... all you would have to do is boot to the recovery and hit that selection when your SD card is in and it will prepare it for you... i can confirm it works as qtek was skeptical in his post...

if you completed all the steps properly, your phone is rooted... if yuo wanted to you could try and adb shell to the phone when connected to usb and type in the superuser command, which i forget offthe top of my head...

if you plan on moving to any of the hero rom, they typically require the 3 partions for file swap and apps2sd storage, so if you do that, theres nothing else you'll have to do...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nextelbuddy:
thanks you for the explanation.

now im hoping someone else can at least tell me the sure fire way to determine if my Mytouch really is rooted.

open a command prompt type adb root, if it says it's already running as root, you're golden.

RE: T-Mobile myFaves removal.

Hello everyone,

I have a Touch Pro 2 coming in the mail I'm very excited. A big letdown that I noticed in comparison to the EU version of the device is that my home screen has to be the myFaves tab. I was really attached to the flip card style clock home screen. My questions are:

Is there a way to get around this? If so:

Is it necessary that you will need a completely new ROM to do?

Couldn't I just get a copy of the EU edition's ROM, upload that?

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gehzumteufel:
I have a TP2 and I will say I do NOT have the MyFaves icon as the home icon. I think that it only affects people with MyFaves, but I don't know. I got mine on launch day too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] f1ip:
If the account has no MyFaves, the Myfave screen will not show up at all.

If you account has MyFaves, it will Default to the MyFaves screen, no Flip clock.

Do get the Clock back.. go to Settings tab, select MyFaves.

Select 1. Display, then select Off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gehzumteufel:
As I suspected. Thanks for confirming it! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rambo6:
A little trick

In most HTC devices, one can go to settings/system and then click the clear storage icon which asks you to type 1,2,3,4 and then hit yes. This hard resets most HTC devices.

As the device is booting and you get past the alignment screen, the device will start loading the carrier specific garbage that's stored in Extended ROM. As it starts loading those programs, one can use the stylus to reset.

The reset on other devices will cause the device to boot without loading the carrier specific stuff. It would be neat to try that out and see if all the TMO stuff is kept off the device. Then you can load only the cabs (programs) you want.

This way the device acts like you've loaded a very clean ROM, usually increases speed etc.

To reload what was on the device originally, one can just go back to the settings/system and hard reset again and let it do so without resetting during the loading of the carrier specific software.

I'd like to know if anyone has done this with the TP2 from TMO yet?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] f1ip:
Tmo TP2 setup isnt all that bad. Not as bad as other carriers.

Only unuseful apps in the program list are, Handango Inhand, Getting Started, and Telenav.

3 games that are NOT trials.

aside from the Tmo Myfave app in TF3D, it is a Usable feature for those who has MyFaves, it can easily be turned off.

The rest of the Apps are the ones usually included in a custom rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ARHMogul:
Hello!

Just an FYI if you do have an account with MyFaves and do not want to do a hard reset, you can simply turn off the MyFaves tab in TF3D. What you need to do is in TF3D fo to settings/MyFaves/Option #1. This will allow you to hide, show or turn off the Myfaves home screen display. Note: even if you turn it off, your MyFaves will still work as normal. Hope this helps! :D

This is my first skin for Wisbar Advance Desktop, and I think it's pretty good... The white circle at the bottom is an on-screen scroll wheel, sort of like an iPod, to make on screen navigation easier and quicker. The Windows Icon launches the programs list (i.e. start menu). It also features a new start menu almost identical to beta versions of Windows Mobile 6.5, as well as a sort of TouchFlo 3D-esque interface. I will be releasing it along with a new website later this month, as I still have a few things left to do on both the website (giovani-design.com), and the software. I promise it's gonna be sweet though! Anyway tell me what you think and hopefully I'll be releasing it soon!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] andes83:
Sounds and looks promising hope to see it soon. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SILLWANDERZ:
Thanks! I am positive that this will be one of the most smooth-running streamlined UI, no clutter everywhere like other UI's, and everything is being tested specifically on the HTC Touch HD. It will probably be for the more advanced users of the Touch HD because the UI is actually in a big folder. This folder will contain WAD and WA3 files to redo the home screen, toolbars, fonts, etc. The folder will also contain many .CAB files that are either software designed by Giovani|Design (such as the iPod-like scroll wheel), skins (dialer skin, calculator skin, Windows Media Player skin, etc.), or software that alters the sound and image the phone produces when it starts up.
[General Questions and Answers] jrwingate6:
Can you delete CAB files after you install the application?

Yes, Advanced Config has an option to delete all cab files after installation.

I always keep them on my SD card just for storage sake

Yea, they are all on my storage card anyway. Maybe I will just make a folder for all them.

Ok, here's my situation:

I just bought a HTC Touch/Elf and I wanted to upgrade a couple of things in it.

FYI, it's not the first time I'm playing around with some HTC Smartphone...I upgraded a 8125 & 8525 from WM5 to WM6.5...anyway..

So, I tried to get to the Bootloader by pressing POWER+CAMERA+RESET ...nothing happened, except that the phone just restarted normally.

I tried to upgrade the USPL...nothing either...

I tried to Hard Reset the phone (maybe this could help...)...nothing there too...

All the things I tried came to the same conclusion = the phone just restarted normally...???

Here's what I could find :

ROM 1.11.706.1B CHS

ROM DATE 05/24/07

Ril VERSION 03.07.90

Protocol 4.1.13.51

WM 6.1 Professional

What can be wrong? Can it be the phone itself?

Is there another way to enter the Bootloader?

Am I missing something...or doing something wrong?

I need your help guys...I've been reading all around the forum for the last 2 days, and I'm going now a bit crazy...LOL

Thanks

Michel
[Touch GSM General] depakjan:
Is your phone stuck ??.. or it's just that it's not going to bootloader??... if your phone is going to today screen ,.. connect to activesync and use the device_info tool from dsixda... and let us know the results
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
Now the phone is frozen...it boots, then I get a blue screen. The touch screen does not work anymore, the only thing I can do is reset (soft)...and that's it!

I cannot even see it on my PC when I connect it vis USB....

Darn....
[Touch GSM General] fcukx3:
to go to bootloader without the reset button(that can be damaged in most models)

take out your battery and hold the power and the camera button

that will get you in the bootloader

if you have unlocked your device then you are lucky if not then you are out of luck
[Touch GSM General] newdecember:
i thought to enter the bootloader it was just the camera button and the soft reset,

hmmm... u learn something new everyday
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
Yes the phone is unlocked, but NO, it is not working ...again...

Everytime I try to get to the Bootloader, the phone just ''soft-reset'' itself.

I'm guessing that the WM installed is probably corrupted, it freezes on the Start Screen...darn...
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
Ok...I figured out how to Hard Reset the phone:

POWER + LEFT KEY (green) + MIDDLE BUTTON

Strange???...I never saw this combination anywhere...

Now, I need to figure out the Bootloader combination...
[Touch GSM General] sasa66:
I think tht this strange combination belong to Chinese ELF clones not original ones .
[Touch GSM General] glenl:
Wow... did the OP get duped?
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
Yes and No....:confused:

I was told, before getting the phone that it was an ''original'' HTC, but when I got it, I could clearly see that it was a clone. For the price, I though it would not be a ''real'' one...but I read a lot online about the copies, and except the bootloader thing, it does work like a real HTC.

As far as I'm concern, if the phone works fine, and don't see a problem using a clone, but the clone has to work...:rolleyes:

If I can get to the Bootloader, then I can play with it a bit...now I can only installed stuff in it, as a regular WM Smartphone...no challenge here :D
[Touch GSM General] sasa66:
Can Work - Can't Upgrade

Indeed Elf clones run the same as original but it use modified OS and may contain different hardware so it needs its own drivers and cannot be upgraded by original or cooked HTC roms
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
Thanks for the reply.

I understand the ''modified OS'', but what if I want to upgrade the RADIO ROM?

Can I use a ''regular'' Touch Radio ROM to do this?
[Touch GSM General] sasa66:
Dont Know about that, look for radio version on your device and see if it is similar to that of touch but search well first or my may get a brick
[Touch GSM General] michel-2000:
The Radio ROM now is 03.07.90, which seems to be a ''real'' Touch ROM, as per the WiKi here.

So I'm guessing that I can upgrade the Radio Rom with a more recent one...

All was fine until I noticed the battery and credits (I'm on prepaid => no unlimited network usage) draining faster than usual as the phone desperately tries to download the official system updates and fails.

Is there a way to receive system updates while rooted and keeping the two input methods?

If not, is there anywhere to disable auto update and download the updates manually? The android.clients.google link = 404.

Assuming that I found and downloaded the latest update, will my phone try to download repeatedly again when there's a newer update later?

Or if nothing above is possible, is there a way to unroot the phone back to original everything? I've searched everywhere but have only been able to find Dream/G1 unrooting guides.
