[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] HIYinOR:
It sounds like you really want to understand the process, and it was a little challenging for me to find those same kind of answers about the "why" of the process. There are many threads and tutorials but they don't all say exactly the same thing. So here is a bit that I learned that answered my questions. Verizon changed the PRI with the upgrade to WM 6.1. In my understanding it is like your computers BIOS and has instructions that tell it what hardware to look for, but if the instructions aren't there it won't know you have, for example, a chipset that can utilize a DVD drive and so it will only let you use a CD drive. Nothing will help until you change the BIOS or in this case the PRI. So the process of restoration utilizes old instruction sets that are actually complete. Verizon just didn't think you would want them since you could pay to use their "superior" Navigator. Once the PRI is restored to 1.37_002 you can install newer radios that have been released. You will need to actually flash your phone and you will lose data on the phone, but not on your SD card, so I would use this program to back up your contacts and other data. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299705

Here are the 2 threads that helped me the most

The flashing process is pretty similar in all tutorials. The one step to watch is how to stop Customizations from running. You need to have your stylus ready when windows boots after a flash... it will take you through screen alignment and a few questions like do you want to set a password, email account... then "tap to finish" windows will start and NOW you have to be ready to poke the reset hole. It will say customizations will start in 3 seconds for maybe 1 or 2 seconds with NO options to refuse, just the stylus to reset hole option NOW!:)

There are several other factors or steps involved in the process but these are well covered in the tutorials.

Read them both and feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.

[Touch HD General] almo42:
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I've read through the wiki, faq, and tried searching for the answer but can't find it anywhere.

I'm using the stock ROM (v.1.56.405.1), and once I've read an sms I cannot mark it as 'unread' again.

If I go into the inbox and don't use the threaded view, in the menu options the 'mark as unread' option is greyed-out and I can't select it. I can't find a similar option in TouchFlo either. :confused:

Please can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Nope, no luck as of yet. :(
[Touch HD General] superkingkong:
any luck? i have the same problem.

is it 3 of us only having this problem?
[Touch HD General] almo42:
I have started using the 'Energy' ROM for my Touch HD, and even in this (and Topix's ROM) there's still no way to re-mark a read txt as unread that I can find. I think it must just be a limitation of the phone. The only solution will be for someone very clever to make a little program that adds the function as an extra feature :(
[General Topics] lamborg:
After flashing a new 6.5 ROM, I installed some programmes and after a soft reset, I got this error at startup.

File or assembly name 'Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status,Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31BF3856Ad364E35', or one of its dependencies,was not found

Is it because of the new ROM?

How can this be solved?

where can i download a clock and a calendar widget like this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jad011:
im not sure about the calendar but Beautiful Widgets has the flip weather clock
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I first one is "Weather Widgets Donate", "Beatiful Widgets" also has a flipclock with weather, unlike WWD it shows the highs and lows, but it doesn't look quite as good as WWD. I bought WWD.

The second is "Pure Grid calendar widget".

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
according to the engadget show, its a poor device and there is a problem when the touchscreen does not work half the time with the gestures.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
well... what do You understand under "poor device"? have You checked the specs for it? have You seen latest videos? (not early prototype) well... iphone 3gs cpu/gpu (600mhz a8 cortex), sliding qwerty, wvga, resistive touch screen, 1gb ram (256+768 virtual), 32gb storage+micro sdhc slot, 5mp camera recording 800x480 videos (25 fps), agps, digital compass, accelerometer, maemo linux system, tv out, irda, bt, wifi, 3g...

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f33m:
Nokia are good phones but only on the paper. "It doesnt do what it says on the tin". It never does (remember my 9210i communicator, my last Nokia device)

If you want a phone to be ready out from the box (which, in my opinion, is boring), this kind of stuff is for you. Recently had my friends 5800XM for couple of days..Nightmare!! (try to use calculator in landscape mode :)) I have no idea why people love this phone. Good music player??? Maybe..

Nokia dont do "tailored to requirements" phones, they put all things into one device and wait for the customers that dont know how to use it...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
i think wm 6.5 will change the way people see wm, i mean the 6.1 and older gui is a real turn off and now the new gui in wm 6.5 is nice, the only one thing 6.5 is missing is a transitional animated interface...the default animation slows the device when activated and its not even pleasant to see

depends on if wm brings more eye candy then i will stay, well thats if apple doesn't release an iphone with a higher resolution and a qwerty keyboard :D

there is no doubt about it, wm is the most powerful os, its just the current gui makes you feel as tho you are using a pc with windows 98...ironic to see that wm 6.1 still wears the windows 98 look and soo many OS were born that looks great, especially their icons...speaking of icons, i dont get it as to why most of wm icons have that rugged edge look and not smooth edges, M$ really needs to get their act together...i hate to see some of the icons in wm bcos of their ugly look, most look like 8 bit icons :p
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
hm... well it's a good point, but I think I've seen enough. I'll leave x1 in the drawer, just in case, and I'll try this whole maemo with widgets. on one hand it is a good thing that You can modify winmo so much, but on the other most of the time spent with the device is wasted with efforts to change the way it looks and works, because it sucks out of the box. saying that, guess what...? I've tried many roms with all funky interfaces just to realise stock rom is most stable and fast (tweaked ofcourse) and the only thing for me was to install spb ms3 to make it look better. I really hate new wm 6.5 looks and titanium is just terrible imho.

what I like in n900 is that interface looks great ootb, strong cpu and gpu gives it a good kick and this damn thing just works. x2 is a major fail comparing to this sweet device. just wait few months... You'll see how is it going to conquer the market.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
the specs are good but if u watch the engadget show that they put up a few days ago u will see that they did not like it and that he was doing gestures in front on a live show and it was not working. in the end they have used the device, we have not so i suggest u take there advice. nokia as a company is crumbling and they very rarely make a good phone, even though there is always lots of hype around them. think the n97, there flagship device.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
The new HTC Leo does this and the cpu is 1GHz. the RAM of the nokia is 768mb virtual RAM? 5MP cam?? thats so 2009! FM transmitter is the only new 'gadget' on that. Oh 32GB sdhc cards will be out soon so that wouldnt be a seling point for me.

Didnt you know you cant big up Nokias on a HTC fanboy forum!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
lol... ok guys. I'll better stfu now :) I guess I am the only one sooo in to something new.

leo? well... snapdragon doesn't convince me a lot. less than a8 cortex with powervr combo. the other thing is that leo doesn't have qwerty keys, so a deal breaker for me... I am trying to find a good alternative for winmo as well.

oh well... let's wait for official reviews, then I shall decide finally. :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10123:
Sounds nice, but then again the X1 sounded nice and look where that go us. Also its Nokia, and Nokia dont do nice interface, Nokia interface is always ugly and not very appealing. This would have been amazing if it were samsung or LG or SE
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
If you had asked me 12 months ago I would also have said the qwerty keyboard was a deal breaker. And a qwerty keyboard is the tits, but for me, id rather have the big screen as im watchin a lot of tv at the mo :D

anyway... I'll get it and if it's gonna suck, I'll give it back or it will land on ebay. :) ... but something tells me, that it is going to be a first wide popular maemo device. it's like icrap 3gs with **** loads of hardware added and complex, linux based system on board. I am almost convinced.... 97% :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncee:
Too brickish, I'll stick to my X1 for now. An upgrade for me would be with same form factor, bigger screen, lighter, thinner and faster.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K 7:
Totally agreed,,, the design of this phone looks as crap as all nokia phone are & I bet the UI will be as UGLY, as annoying & as un-friendly as nokia have always been making... With good specs a phone should look fantastic as well like X1, TD2, TPro etc (not like this thick-brick)... No offence to Bronx or any one...

Edit: I should mention an edge that it has over X1 & TD2 etc... if you have a problem or fight occassionally THIS CAN BE USED AS A heavy WEAPON... :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
you know what they say: a pint and a fight - perfect British night. :D ok, maybe it looks more plastic than x1, but more likely it's gonna be build bit better than ever cracking xperia.

look people - I am not trying to convince anyone. I just want to point out another alternative to SE, HTC, WM, iPhone... all those companies have failed to provide solid product, so it is time for me to try something else. I loved my n70, I loved my n95 8gb. now I dare to say f... WM. I'll roam in here from time to time, as x1 stays with me, but in october I am trying something new, because of SE assholes. come on... after all this crap with x1 they should give us more support to wash that bad taste they left.

x1 is quite good device, but I won't forgive them cracks, ****ty video playback and lack of further software support.

[EDIT] btw - n900 110.9 × 59.8 × 18 (19.55 at thickest part) mm, xperia x1 110.5 x 52.6 x 17 mm - well? just a bit wider and a tad thicker. looks neat and tidy no matter what You guys say ;)

i would have bought this about a year ago to replace my n770.

i was interested in it till i saw the specs..... but the biggest turn off for me is the cpu, ram and no portrait mode.

maybe i could live with the cpu if the ram was much larger, i could care less about the virtual ram but it would have been a nice supplement to a larger ram anyways.

i could also live with the no portrait mode because i know the maemo group has some pretty good developers but why wait when it should have came out that way from the factory.

for me, phone is a year too late and ill stick to the x1 for now because no other phone is worth the upgrade right now
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
if You say, that n900 cpu is a let down for You, then obviously You don't even have a clue what are You talking about. 256 mb ram + 768 swap is also pretty good figure imho. again... we shall see in october. :)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_legaspi:
ok i could be wrong but i sure would like to hear the reviews. since the x1a and the n900 has almost the same specs, this is pretty much 1 year old tech.

Ok, so again pathetic choice by Nokia.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyrojester:
As an avid devotee of WinMo, and also a past user of various s60 phones, I can honestly say I am excited about the N900. As a browser and media player it will be excellent, early reports suggest a crazy battery life, and I have never had a problem with reception or the phone app crashing on a nokia device, which has happened with the seven(?) windows mobile phones I've owned. It has already been mentioned, but after the years I've been a member here finding fixes for problems that shouldn't really exist, from proper divx support, to reception issues, to ram leaks and so on, it would be nice to have a device that works as intended.

It probably won't, however.

But there we go.

I support sony ericsson x1......:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
yes, You are wrong. a8 cortex cannot be compared directly to msm72xx, as we all know latter one is a major crap in video/gfx department, while first one makes iphone 3gs and palm pre fly. powervr acceleration with opengl 2.0 support is also quite nice.

I read on maemo.org, that n900's system is being honed and also I would google (if I were You) for n900 video sample movies. quality of recording on not final firmware in low light conditions is making x1 ****ty chinese toy. seriously.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Another potential with some serious lacks.

No portrait mode itself is like a joke for me.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwystyl:
Portrait mode is available in some applications. Since it's a linux (debian)-based device, it's relatively simple to write your own apps. Nokia has made a competition in which a programmer with the best/most usefull program will get a N900 for free. Too bad I'm no programmer....

The fact you can easily write programs will also mean that the programmer can choose to use portrait and/or landscape. There's already a dialer in portrait, so it's not completely landscape oriented.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I'm not the programmer but a user.

So if I purchase device which works in landscape only,

let's even say in 70% of cases,

it's just a huge flaw.

Like a bad joke.

I can't really imagine

how stupid the company should be to do this.

Just imagine any travel with it, any action.

Always in landscape mode.

Ridiculous.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronx:
imho You are over reacting a bit. wait few more weeks for final reviews. thinking of it, having htc leo also will require both hands while using it, even in portrait. well... unless You have really long thumbs... :)

btw, I read yesterday that guys at maemo.org have runned quake 3 on it, and cpu got only about 40% load. ...so they've run it once more, thats two instances of quake 3 running in the background.(!) I'll try to post the link in the evening.

and as a test I'll try to keep my x1 in landscape mode all day today to see if I can live with it. ;)
