[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skyfire101:
Yep, I would like to know too!

The wiki for the Magic only list the firmwares. Would be nice to actually have some info on the benefits of the different types.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raffy2010:
hello all

I have tried these ROMs except hofo

I think Casense1.0 is better than myhero2.04

but now i'm using CyannogenMod-4.2.2,it's much stabler than all option

you give.

I'm from China .my English is poor. sorry
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] betelgeuse74:
I'm currently on CaSense 1.1 and find it very stable.

I also tried Magic GyD 2.0.3 and it is also good.

The HoFo ROM only had English and Chinese language installed, and I would like a ROM that supports Norwegian keyboard. So this is not for me.

I will give CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1 a try too, but I am still confused :)

Most of the ROMs are very similar, and I can not understand what differences excists that can justify all the different versions.

Are the ROM's just personal adjustments made to the developers liking, or do they include something unique?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mstolpner:
I am using HoFo and I love it. It is extremly stable with little to no bugs and Hotweiss is very fast fixing any issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Using myHero after trying most of the other roms, reglasses seems to do a nice job on his cooks. But i have to admit i didn't care to give CaSense much of a chance cause it seemed like he put something together way to fast with to many issues just to be the first one releasing a rom based on the official TW magic rom with sense UI. Where i appreciate the developer taking his time to do some nice cooking and serve the good and more stable release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hcadiz:
From your signature, you have a CaSense 1.1 which you modified yourself. Why did you do it yourself? If you can answer that, then you have the answer to your question above.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SpaceBoy2000:
Alright, I've sworn by hotweiss' HoFo ROMs for a long while, simply because it was just modified stock and he had the same device and provider as me. It's currently undergoing teething issues with the Sense UI. I would also like to know about the differences between all the Sense UI ROMs - I just don't have the time to load each one and tinker with it long enough to find their individual perks.

Judging by your post, I believe you want the nice flashy Sense UI. Keep in mind that Sense UI does significantly slow your phone down - WAY down. I installed Cyanogen's ROM the other day just to compare the difference. If you can live without flashy UI, go with Cyanogen. It's much faster and snappier, and really, the installation is pretty much a breeze anyways.

Advantages of Sense UI is that it looks pretty. That's pretty much it. Most of it's functionality can be found from other apps on the Market. You got a ****load of Twitter apps, Facebook app for the widget, SyncMyPix to get contact photos, etc etc. That said, I'm sort of addicted to the Sense UI interface right now myself. Oh, one more thing - Sense UI doesn't allow other apps to control the brightness (I believe it's an issue affecting all Sense UI ROMs). It's a pain in the ass, since I used to have my brightness auto adjust based on location and time. If that's something you want...go Cyanogen.

Oh, Cyanogen also has OTA updates. Hotweiss also posts up the link on Twitter. I do not know about the other ROMs though. This means that if you have a nice data plan, you can update your phone anywhere.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Taknarosh:
Abso-freaken-lutely. That bugs the hell out of me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] betelgeuse74:
The modification consists of removing some applications I don't use (Twitter, Plurk, etc) and adding my own ringtones and wallpaper/lockscreen.

I would probably do this to any ROM I choose.

My point is, that it seems irrelevant which ROM I choose, they are basically the same, providing identical features, speed and functionality.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] betelgeuse74:
I am very fond of the Sense UI. If I wasn't, I would give Cyanogen a try.

I don't use Twitter, Facebook or Plurk, and I usually remove the applications from the ROM.

And I have always thought the UI was snappy enough for me, so speed is not an issue.

I do not require a frequently updated ROM, but it is nice if issues are fixed as soon as possible. But since many (all) Hero ROM's have the same issues, I just thought the community would benefit from a joint effort of the developers to fix those, instead of the minor tweaking jobs they do now.

(No disrespect to the developers intended. I really appreciate the effort. I just want you to go in a different direction :) )
[Touch Pro CDMA] yellowz24:
hello people out there, does anyone have the radio files for bell network?
[Touch Pro CDMA] 88fingerslukee:
You can use any of the files in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531134

Bell hasn't released a software upgrade (and most likely never will) for the Touch Pro. That means there is no stock Bell radio to flash to.
[Touch Pro CDMA] yellowz24:
so i assume you would use the telus radio file because they use the same towers?
[Touch Pro CDMA] 88fingerslukee:
It doesn't matter which radio you use, they are carrier inspecific. The carrier name on the radio just refers to the carrier whose ROM update the radio shipped with.

That said, if you flash one of these radios and need to return your phone to bell for whatever reason you will never be able to flash back to a stock bell radio. If the tech who checks it out knows/cares what s/he is doing they will notice that you have a different radio version than what bell typically offers and your warranty will be voided.

Finding out which radio is right for you is trial and error. The good thing is that flashing a new radio does not hard reset your device...so you can flash and reflash to different radios quite easily. I suggest trying a bunch out for a week or two at a time. I know it's time consuming but there is no other real way around it.

I am also on Bell, and have tried the Telus and Sprint (latest v.) radios. I haven't yet found much of a difference, but I'm taking my time.

Read the FAQ in that link I posted for more info.
[Touch Pro CDMA] yellowz24:
the radio file i am looking for is for is 1.04.02v
[Touch Pro CDMA] the-wrangler:
sorry mate, like he said above. if youve flashed to a different radio you cant flash back to the one that came on your bell touch pro. id like to try the different radios but dont wanna pooch my chances of returning it if ever needed so i never did it. from what i understand it needs to be dumped out of the stock one but for some reason it cant/hasnt been done
[Touch Pro CDMA] yellowz24:
i need to send mine in for service but the warranty would proball be voided if they see a different radio version, i have the stock rom back in it. i guess i am going to have to try to send it and see what happens
[Touch Pro CDMA] megavolt007:
That's the risk you take flashing a phone with no carrier rom available.
[Touch Pro CDMA] 88fingerslukee:
Your best chance is to flash to the Telus radio (as the version numbers are similar), send it in and hope that you get a not-very-observant tech who doesn't check the radio versions (or the boot-loader for that matter).

If they notice, play dumb; but nothing is guaranteed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
Apologies if this is in the wrong place or has been addressed somewhere else but I couldn't see anything.

Hi guys and girls

this is my problem... for some reason, some of the apps I install (via market place or from .cab) lose their icons after the phone is restarted. They have an icon once installed but it soon vanishes and is replaced with this generic window one.

I have tried changing the icon with an Icon Changer app, and made 90x90 pixel png icons to replace them with, but although the new icons show up in the changer app, it makes no difference to the start menu, even after a restart.

Is there some fix to this, it's making what's otherwise a stylish bit of kit, a little... ugly...

Cheers!

(PS: Apps that don't have icons:

Google Maps

Facebook

Stopwatch

Mobile TFL

Apps that DO have icons:

Klaxon

Twikini

Orange Maps

+ all default apps)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ragingbull:
I think it's an issue to do with the programs installed on the storage card. Sometimes if you take out the memory card, the application icons can disappear. After a few reboots and by launching the apps, the icons usually come back. :)

Hope this works :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
They re-appear about once in every 4 reboots... but sometimes it takes up to ten, it's totally random. Although the custom icons I made do show up sometimes.

Also, some of the apps without icons are installed on the device not the card. and 2 or 3 apps that are installed on the card always have their icons...

such a little niggle but so annoying. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rhonald:
Re-install them...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
first thing I tried... nothing doing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hdubli:
storage card problem.try to use a differrent sd card for checking
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
That I actually can do. My first TG01 had a fault with it's auto-rotate so Orange sent me out a new one but didn't take back the storage card. So I have a duplicate blank 8gig toshiba memory card... just cloned the old card to the new one, all programs still work but no icons, didn't think it could be that because some programs on the card have icons and some programs on the phone don't.

Think it's the usual party piece from MS, release an OS before it's finished and keep patching it up as you go. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
Okay so work around:

assuming the problem is (in some weird way that also affects apps on the device...) with the storage card I made a new folder at \My Documents\Icons\

in there I put the 90x90 .png icons that I made in Photoshop in there, then used the JWMD Icon Changer to remove all the old icon links and point them at the icons on the device.

This seems to have worked! and they survive reboots.

So, due to the fact 6.5 isn't actually an OS ready for release I now have to

> download apps from the marketplace

> move the app to the storage card because there isn't an option to install to the storage card in market place - despite the fact most phones have less than 500mb device memory

> open PS and make a new icon for any app I chose to download.

> connect the phone and copy these files to the device.

> use a 3rd party app to remove the old icon and replace it with the new one.

> restart the phone.

All because MS can't be arsed to check their software is bug free before releasing!

If anyone knows an actual fix rather than this long winded work around please do shout...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gmx333:
I have the same issue but as you probably know this phone had a lot of issue with SD card with WInMO 6.1. Toshiba seems has partially solved the SD corruption problem but now has introduced this new problem. I think that SD card is not accesible at boot a thus Winmo cannot load icons.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi everyone, I have just got a TG01 and I have the same problem also.

All programs installed to my SD card show as white squares, I have a Sandisk branded MicroSD card which has served me well for a couple of years and has worked fine in all my other phones.

All programs installed to the phone memory all show fine and I am in agremenet that it is an issue with the SD card at boot time. I had a similar issue with a Samsung Omnia using the internal flash memory but no one could fix that either.

So is there a way to make Windows wait for say 0.5 seconds during boot just before the icons are loaded so the SD card has time to mount then when the start menu is loaded into memory all icons appear?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
I've found the problem has become a lot less frequent, seemed to have been solved when MS fixed the Marketplace install-to-SD-card issue.

in fact, looking at it now after a reboot - all the icons are working. Suggest downloading the latest version of Marketplace.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dr_strangetrick:
Loaed latest Marketplace and configured to install to SD card, restarted but still the same
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
I recently got told there was an update from Toshiba, assumed this was 6.5.3... alas it wasn't, it's still 6.5, but one of the things it did do was totally remove this problem. They gave no explaination of what the "update" was supposed to do though so maybe a simple re-install of winmo is all that's needed?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Hello Friends,

I think by now all here might have updated TD2 with WM 6.5.

Many with cooked and many with Official, like me.

I think if we can post all issues with WM 6.5 Official ROM here and we can suggest HTC for any fixes/patches.

Or we/developer here can have fix for that :).

Thanks.

Hi.

I have noticed sum issues when trying to install some apps. when i choose the destination of where i want to install the app, it just keeps the waiting cursor on the screen and doesnt install.

this is sometimes though. so not sure if it is actually an issue with 6.5 rom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gtrab:
no I have not seen that,

you may just need SDKcerts or NET CF 3.5 to get those apps installed

BTW which apps ???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] radzi:
I've had some issues. Offical 6.5 German ROM

* When using Live Messenger I've had a few hags and I had to restart the phone.

* Without any app running task manager showed 98% used memory... only 2% free and nothing open??? the phone got slooww

* Facebook: When I was with wm6.1 official rom with a fix cab I could use Facebook within contacts, I was able to sync picture, birthday and showed me last update from contact. Now with wm6.5 and facebook that comes it only sync picture. I want birthday back and be able to read last update.

Batery Charge Issue

I think the indicator light does not change to Green even if the batery is fully charged.

Also the information tab does not change the last fully charged value.

PS:

I have seen the "Update for HTC Diamond2 Power LED Notification" update/fix has been release by HTC (http://www.htc.com/in/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=600) much before the 6.5 release and looks like this is NOT fixed in 6.5.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] toth42:
I've noticed the option to choose LED-blink-time on new messages is no longer available, it's now on 5 minutes and greyed out. What the h*ll was the point of that?! I've talked to HTC, they said "yes, it's grayed out", but had no good reason for it. Seems totally stupid thing to do. Anyone knows how to un-grey the option? A little registry-tweak maybe?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhatnath:
Hi All, Just re-verified and found this is NOT an Issue.

Actually the charging bar shows 100% but still the light was not turned green but after some time it did changed to gree. So NO Issue here.

The only thing is charging does takes lots of time :(.

spb backup?

Has anyone managed to install spb backup on the official 6.5 rom? I've tried this, and despite claims from spb that the latest version is compatible with 6.5, I always get "install was unsuccessful". Any ideas anyone?

Google maps

Also, google maps does not seem to auto-rotate the screen, although many other apps do. Does anyone know how to control which apps are allowed to rotate or not?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] longgy:
same problem here with the WiFi.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] scotthubbard:
I really want to like this 6.5 build but there are too many problems.

1)I cannot turn off the LED notification for new emails, even if all options are off. Beyond that all the LED notification options for the phone, text, voicemail are greyed out, why disallow me from choosing?!

2) Memory leakage is horrible, will continue to rise and rise until phone grinds, and this within a day.

3) In a week it has never picked up 'My location'. Google Maps manages this to within 10 metres within 120 seconds without GPS!

4) Settings from within the Windows take you to the very limited settings tab which then needs an extra press to get to all options. Plain bloody stupid.

5) I have found some screens which for some reason wont touch scroll, normally within the MS apps such as myphone after it has synched. Have to use the scrollbar. Feels like the 90's all over again!

HTC have managed to build a ROM for the HD2 in the same time with Winmo 6.5 and yet this ROM is bloody useless, they have dropped the ball badly and i really like HTC.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rumz82:
Apps like TT7.

i do have SDKcerts & NET CF 3.5.

it could be the version i have with the problem.(tt7)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] toth42:
There's a setting for "Turn om WIFI auto" and one something like "Turn off WIFI when inactive for .."

I did these settings the first day, through some sort of wizard, but can't find it back! I guess in your Comm-manager, under "WiFi" it says something like "Turn on Automaticly"?

It's a very nice option, because now WiFi is prioritized over 3G when you try to go online, but where the h*ll did those settings go?!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] toth42:
That issue's been around since atleast 6.1..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kslw:
Yes this happened to me too, and at first I couldn't work out what was going on. Now however I think it is a deliberate feature, probably as a battery saving measure. It all seems to work in a sensible manner: when I come out of standby the WiFi is off, but as soon as I use an app that needs WiFi it automatically reconnects. Also when I am away from my home network, it uses 3G automatically. So I actually like the way it works now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ADeadlySpoon:
I have a problem with playing music with touchflo or w.e it is now. I play a song and when it's finished it doesn't play the next song (whether in a playlist or not!) It is set to "Repeat all" but still doesn't play all the songs so i have to get the phone out at every song -.- is this just me or is it a bug?

RE: Issues with WM 6.5 Official Build Reply to Thread

Dear All,

I am also not satisfied with the stock wm6.5 build, I’m using the Dutch-Rom

I have issues with following Items,

1)	When my phone shows a pop-up message it “bleeps” eventhough it has been set not to sound while it notificates. Frustrates me every morning as my phone has a custom made get-up-very-smoothly alarm tone and than it starts with a harsh BLEEP !!

2)	The powerdrain is horrible, I NEED to charge battery each day, with wm6.1 the device was charged after approx 3 days!

3)	Recently experienced something totally new: while I work my D2 always is connected to my pc trough USB and normally charging, I just have been noted by WM6.5 that “the charging power was not enough to charge the device and if I want to charge properly I needed to close down programs…” (excact notification I forgot but in rough words this was the message). Guess what!! The only thing running is Manilla ???

4)	My location is not accurate enough

5)	Where is the Freakin battery indicator, why do I need to go in to the notification screen to see my battery status, I NEED TO SEE THIS AT ANYTIME HTC!!! :s

These are my main frustrations with the wm6.5 build and certainly hope HTC can fix this

Best regards

Well, i'm a lucky guy. I don't have all that issues posted in above posts.

My battery is lasting as usual. The Wi-Fi functionality is great,,,

However, I have a problem here:

If I touch in the volume keys, to change the system volume, WM gives an error, any volume screen in shown and the phone gets slow. I can't change the volume this way anymore.

I made a backup of everything before updating to 6.5, using pinbackup. The restore process run like a charme. Could the restore info from 6.1 address something in the wrong place to mismatch the volume keys?

There is a chance that restore info from pinbackup or any other backup/restore app may cause some erroneous behavior by the phone. I guess that could be the point here, when some issue is not found by everyone. That's why I'm asking if the volume keys is working well for you guys.

Everyone having issues with WM6.5, could state here if some sort of backup and restore was done.

Me too + more rapid battery drain compared to official 6.1 + occasional freeze (no response at all...have to remove battery).

The last bug (freezing) occoured right after full charge. The phone was charged to 100%...then I pulled it off...pressed power button to turn off display...after 10 minutes it didn't want to wake up.

There must be something running in the background, obviously not an application that you know about.
