Before lockout of this thread I reveal you that I have Miri's v.18 inside ;)

Personal Choice

This will be closed very fast. Been asked many times but usually what works for me may not for you so really a personal choice thing. Try a few and see for yourself.

Goodluck.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
I was in the same situation as you a few months back - I got pointed in the direction of a Dutty ROM by a work colleague, and I ended up trying a few EnergyROMs before settling with Topix which I reckon is very quick, but maybe not everyone's cup of tea.

So to pretty much mirror what BlueAnt said, only you can decide if a ROM is good for what you use your phone for.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CreepinJesus:
I like Miri's ROMs because they are mostly 'clean' - it's up to me what applications/settings I put on, if any.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Marne Jr:
Everybody knows!!!

Everyone knows that Miri is the best (speed + smoth + stock) rom and Xannytech the most kind and complete, but nobody likes to say it to keep other chefs trying good roms ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Delgadovsky:
Also the energyroms are great. Very complete and would be perfect if they can inscrease a little bit of speed...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fabioabud:
Hello

I'm from Brasil and bought my HD in France in the end of 12/2008.

Since then I'm flashing ROMs - most from Duttys.

The last one I flashed and still using is Leo Holy Grail R0 - Dutty's last rom for HD.

I starterd this trhead hopping to know if there is any new ROM that may worth the time of flashing again, as I think most of the guys here and like my self are flash addict :D:D.

I've been reading some posts and I'm intend to flash from Miri and Laurentius.

What do you guys think about these two ROMs and compare to Duttys??

Thanks again to everyone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mesho.112:
Miris roms fast stable

Xannytech fully with features and fine stablety
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fábio Nóbrega:
I recomend XannyTech GridEvo 2.4 21885.

Its really good..

Just test..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
No such thing as best rom. Everyone has different tastes. I suggest you read a few threads and then try a few roms to make your own conclusion on which is best for you

Thread closed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DAMIEN123_666:
hi all is their a way to get the MANILA ui interface on a none htc (WQVGA) device without cooking it into a rom, so just a .cab install or something like this...

my mate has a lg GM750 and id like to use the MANILA interface on it but their are no roms for this device and im pritty sure their wont be any made either as their crap phones to be honest. i would like all the stuff like ui, htc sms threaded, and all the rest so it looks as close to my leo(hd2) as possible

thankyou plenty upfront ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] madsurfer1:
if you want manila 2d theres some cab flowing arround the forums, you just need to resize them, if you want manila 2.5, you are short out of luck
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DAMIEN123_666:
ok im kinda a complete noob and wouldn't know what to do to re size them please explain which one i should download and a quick guide on how to re size

thank you, im sorry to be a pain
[Windows Mobile Software Development] WoZZeR999:
Grab a M2D (Manila 2d) cab for omnia's. They will already be set to wqvga.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DAMIEN123_666:
thank you, where can i get the htc message layout twoor does it include it, my mates phone doesnt have treaded messages and he would really love it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tildesley:
hi all

i have a problem, im left handed so the volume buttons are hit constantly...

is there anyway to deactivate this buttons? ive tried looking for an app to reprogram but i cant find one :(

any ideas :confused:

thanks all

JT
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shenye:
try using your right hand :P anyway, i dont think you can, as you need them to boot into fastboot and stuff :\
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pauliusba:
glue them with superglue
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shenye:
i just tried holding it with my left hand is so many different positions... (not an innuendo!) and didnt accidentally press the volume buttons once..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tildesley:
how bizarre lol

maybe its the fact i used to holding a diamond, when i grip the phone it catches the piece of my palm between the index finger and thumb.

i'll have to screen lock more i guess :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mape78:
Maybe this will help?:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.vol-qwmn.aspx

Btw, Shenshang - If you're left handed I guess you normally hold the phone with the right hand...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shenye:
ohh...you people are 2 handed.....i do it with my thumb.....
[HD2 General] tanzi:
I installed Antoniomistrstta lockscreen and heartofwolf lockscreen fixV4 transparent today but it didn't do anything anyway I uninstalled it the problem is I don't seem to have my lock screen all I have is unlock in the bottom left hand side of the screen, how do I get my lockscreen back?? :confused:
[HD2 General] tanzi:
anybody please..
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's reverted back to the classic lock screen.

Go to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Lock, Display (tab) and change "Windows Classic" to "Windows Default". Click OK and it will restart your phone.

That should sort it :)
[HD2 General] tanzi:
I have been to settings, all settings, then I get a screen with bluetooth,Lock, sounds, et I go into lock and all I have is 2 tabs password and hint..
[HD2 General] Archer:
Something's messed that screen up then, because there definitely should be 3 tabs. I'd ask on the threads that you got the lockscreen mods from, because they're surely responsible for this.
[HD2 General] tanzi:
Thanks I am just installing the original rom again so hopefully this should sort it out, fingers crossed, thanks for your help..
[HD2 General] Archer:
Ah well, if you're happy to flash a ROM then you'll be okay. As I'm sure you're aware, it's the default lock screen, so it will be there after you're done.

At least you know what not to install now ;)
[HD2 General] henninghh990:
Try opening up Regedit of some kind and go to:

HKEY_Curent_User > ControlPanel > Keybd, and change DeviceLock-something to 1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
Hi

So, not entirely sure why MS went and released 6.5 when the prettier, more usable, 6.5.3 was just around the corner, but hay.

I've seen tell of WM 6.5.3 working on the TG01, but so far my searches have only pointed to roms for HTC devices (not surprisingly). Does anyone know of a working 6.5.3 update .cab installer that are for UK TG01's? If so would they be very kind and point me at it!

Thanks all.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
You cant update the hole OS with just a cab, you would have to cook a rom with the desired Build version in your case 6.5.3, sadly there no way to cook a rom for the tg01 as of yet, so your stuck with the old UI style builds e:g 6.5
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
Pretty sure that's exactly what I did to go from 6.1 to 6.5 - although in that case the .cab was an installer provided by Toshiba.

I simply meant has anyone made a ROM and a simple one file system for installing it, I'm not a developer, more an enthusiastic amateur... Im likely to brick my only phone if I get much more complicated than compiled installers.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] indagroove:
Your question has been answered:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
You actually can, it's called Image Update, and it's been around since WM5 (though mostly unused). Image Update allows special .cab.pkg updater files to write to ROM, update the XIP, replace critical files, and resize partitions on the fly, among other features, all while keeping user data unharmed. Also, if you hard reset, the updates still remain. There are some developers, such as Da_G and ND4SPD among others, working on utilizing Image Update for chefs, to put out updates for their ROMs instead of making users hard reset and lose their data each ROM release. It's really quite an interesting project, you might be interested in taking a look for yourself. Link's here.

The TG01 is the first device I know of that utilizes the Image Update system for ROM upgrades, although AT&T has started putting out Windows Mobile hotfixes in .cab.pkg format for select devices, ensuring the updates are permanent yet won't harm user data. Unfortunately, the TG01 .cab.pkg files need to be signed by Toshiba, and although there are 6.5.x ROMs for the TG01 (the demo models at CES 2010 were running 6.5.x) they're probably all internal and I'd bet very well guarded.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
I knew about this method,been following since it started, but i doubt he would have understand it, since hes asking suck a basic wm question...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
I might not know a lot about smart phone OS's but I do know quite a bit about computing in general, enough to know that when I download and install a .cab file from Toshiba which writes to ROM and updates the OS from 6.1 to 6.5... that. it. actually. happened.

I'm new to this I'm not hallucinating.

Thanks DaveTheTytnIIGuy for that, interesting to know that the TG01 is new in operating like this, as it's the first Smartphone I've used as my day-to-day handset (as opposed to just messing around with old ones) I didn't realise this wasn't more widespread*.

I understand that Toshiba never planned to release with 6.1 but delays to 6.5 forced them to go to market with 6.1 and their half baked 'stripe' theme bolted on. Perhaps the use of a cab.pkg installer was the bast way they could allow non-technical users to quickly and easily get their handsets working as they where intended.

After all it's not like people can feel like they would be able to ask for help on a forum or something, that would just get patronising ***** insulting their intelegence...

So now I guess I have research to do as to how cooked ROM's are usually installed, and if someone has cooked one for the TG yet.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TehPenguin:
Just out of curiosity:

How large was the .cab?

How much free storage space do you now have on your device? (Settings->System->Memory)

What build of WM 6.5 are you currently running? (Settings->System->About)

Also, if the file you downloaded was a .cab (not a .cab.pkg) then it wouldn't have used the Image Update system built into Windows Mobile... there are other (much worse) methods of updating a ROM via a cab file, hence why I am asking the above questions.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] razerbug:
Sorry I should point out i'm using the term .cab as short hand for any kind of cabinet file based installers. Actually I had forgotten an interesting point about Toshiba's file.

After putting in your IMEI number and confirming your carrier etc at Toshiba's website, you can download a .exe file (basically a self extracting archive) which contains a .tsw file.

I had actually forgotten it was this type of file, is this a Toshiba-unique format? Because strangely, when you run it the standard windows .cab installer screen appears and windows refers to the file as a .cab.pkg file (TG01WP_5005000167.tsw is the file, windows says it's installing/downloading TG01WP_5005000167.cab.pkg if I remember rightly)

A colleague with their own TG01 got a different file name when they downloaded their update a few months later... but they seem to be no differences

I currently have build 21840.5.0.60. The installer is 247mb in size. I have 205.13mb program memory, 262.53mb storage, available on the handset.
[G1 Android Development] thephantom007:
I know im gonna get bad comments about this, but i dont care LOL, well my suggestion its i saw some new roms but most of the new roms doesnt have an Screen shot, i think i will be useful to see how our phone it would look after we install your roms guys, its just a suggestion please dont take it in a wrong way.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Do you mean the eclair roms?

They all have the eclair launcher so its pointless to do pics unless they made changes to the rom's look.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
This is a perfect example of think before you post. Lol

But on the real pics of a nonthemed rom is pointless (Examples of a themed rom is like NexusSuper D 1.5.1 or xRom by JAC these should have screenshots). Screenshots make more sence on themes and whatnot :)
[G1 Android Development] thephantom007:
well i had install cyan, euginie, the dudes etc, etc, and it looks kind of diferent thats why i make that suggestion, but thank you though
[G1 Android Development] evilkorn:
But they all say with droid laucher if they used that png. TheDudes is irrelevent because you know it's a 1.5 base from hella long ago, cyan's you should know what it looks like and most likely won't change will the next batch of source code is out.

I really don't understand why people know where they post is the wrong place but still find the need to break the rules and clutter the forums.

'I know I'm gonna get bad comments'

....... if I was a mod i'd ban you for a week just for that.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Ouch! glad you're not a mod :D

To the originator: Don't type everything you think, only the important stuff. This is irrelevant.
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
whilst it is completely pointless to provide screenshots for every ROM, i can see where the OP is coming from.

For noobs, who are new to modding the phone (not calling you a noob btw OP :p) saying "it's just the stock eclair/donut/hero theme" might not mean anything to them.

despite that: who cares? That's what google is there for :D
[G1 Android Development] shata:
He is kinda right tho, maybe 2 screenies would be nice... Not like it takes 10hrs to do that really now...

[General Questions and Answers] Redsideburn:
Hi all!

I got a problem with my Acer S200. It worked perfectly up to 3 days ago, now the external speaker works only when I receive a call or I run the radio. I can't ear an audio or video file with the external speaker, no matter what. The audio works, because I can ear the files, but only using the headphones...I already tried the hard reset, but nothing changed...can anyone hep me or I have to send it to Acer's assistance?
[General Questions and Answers] tsamolotoff:
Somebody must have inserted the stylus or something that thin into 3.5' jack, thus breaking a thin contact pin, that detects if headphones are inserted. So you can either go to the service or try to fix it yourselves.
[General Questions and Answers] Redsideburn:
Yeah...this could be a solution...I can I fix this problem? Any suggestion?

1.61 comes with an old out of date version of copilot which seems to throw up issues with 1.61

[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Hi, I'd like everyone's opinion on the Nokia E90, especially from the people who has owned it for at least half a year.

What do you think? How do you compare it to the best windows mobile phone you've had for at least half a year?

What are the Pros and Cons of the E90 in comparison to that windows mobile phone.

Do you think the phone is uglier or prettier when you saw it in real life?
[General Topics] cmstackar:
One of my friends has had one for a while, about half a year, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. I thought it still looked ugly in person, but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I liked the keyboard, and it was easy to navigate, but only used it for a few moments. I actually liked it better than my touch diamond 2 simply because its actually fast to use, but don't feel like switching to symbian
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
I have it. I had an Xperia X1 but it went really bad so I had to sell it. IMO I think it looks nicer than in the pictures and than the Xperia X1. Although I see grace in Xperia X1 and not the E90, I see the strong-macho-business man in the E90.

I also like the keyboard but it's not as good as Touch Pro2, but because I don't like using the stylus to pinpoint text fields, I prefer the Symbian + Ultimate E90 keyboard combo.

I've used it for 1 to 2 months now. The E90 isn't that fast. The notes application will lag once you have more than 200 characters in the field. In most windows mobile device, this lag would not exist.

I just purchased a holder from RAM mount UNPKD RAM UNIVERSAL PLASTIC ATV HOLDER.

For me it's perfect: I can use it in my car, on my boat, and even on my bike.

You do need some extra parts from RAM mount for installation on car/boat/bike - however if you want a solution for all these usages, I think RAM mount is perfect.

Any of you who have experiences with RAM mount?

Do you own RAM mount company? :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] snerkler:
when I'm entering text using opera, such as when posting on this forum double tapping space doesn't add a full stop, and it doesn't capitalize the first letter of the sentence like it does typing sms. Does anyone else have this, and can it be fixed?
[HD2 General] Archer:
It works exactly the same as a computer in this respect. The capitalisation only works in applications that it's coded in, so you won't get that in web sites, and double-tapping space will just give you 2 spaces. Does that give you a full-stop anywhere? I've never heard of that functionality, and don't see the point since the full-stop is right next to the space bar!

So it can't be fixed, as it's functioning correctly. Can it be changed? No. This would require a code change within Opera. You could ask them for it ;)
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Oh, ok. It works in sms so assumed it would work in everything like on the iPhone. No worries then, at least I know it's normal.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Afraid not, no. It only works where it's coded to work, which is exactly like the iPhone. It's Safari that does capitalisation in web pages, not the phone :)
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Oh right, thanks for the info. Maybe I should get onto opera then ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
i searched for this and came up with some links, but none to verify my exact question which is, do i need a certain ROM, or recovery image, i have the RA-dream-V1.5.2. to apply apps2sd, i am currently running the latest cyanogen ROM, do i need a sd card reader or can it be done just by using terminal emulator, and i just bought a 4gb class 6 from new egg, and i was wondering what do you guys recommend for my ext2 partition space to be? so if you guys have any info on this it would be great if you threw it my way thank you!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Most rom have it enabled automaticlly when it sees an extX partition. The recovery is not required, but helpful if you don't have a linux system or other software to create the partitions on your computer. No card reader is required unless you want to format it that way. The only terminal commands you would need would be in the recovery console for you. The space is up to you and your needs and does not increase or decrease performance either way.

See the link below and it will help you doing it the manual way and with Amon_RA's recovery.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
thank you, you were a bunch of help, i shall try this when i get home tonight
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
No problem, let me know how it goes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
it asked me for swap-size and also ext2-size, im not to sure what numbers i need hmm?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
If you plan on using a hero rom put in something for swap, if not put zero. The put in the amount of ext you want for apps. (normally between 256-512)

To upgrade the file system from ext2 -> ext3 use the command upgrade_fs in the recovery console.

Look at the link I gave you and scroll down to the Amon_RA section if you need more help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
it said upgrade_fs not found (nvm)

i got ext2 to ext3 thank you for all your help sorry for being a pain dude...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
so to make sure i did it right, how much available phone space should i have?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It varies based on the cache you have for the apps, but I have 68mb but I have been running the same rom for a while. It should be around 80mb if you haven't done anything to build the cache, but I have the 1.33.2005 SPL which increases the internal memory size.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2dorr:
I get the same error "upgrade_fs not found" when I want to upgrade to ext 3 from console. From Amon_Ra's recovery I get an error too when I want to upgrade to ext 3. The other SD card I have worked perfectly with exact the same steps. What is wrong? Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
if you amon's isnt there an option that says upgrade ext2 to ext3? i guess thats the same?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
As the upgrade_fs script, yes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakumaxp:
yeah thats what i did because it did the not found error, so i was like meh, sounds like the same haha

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Dickinson4o:
Hello people,

All of a sudden today after the battery of my topaz got empty I could not start it any more:(

I get to the waves screen with the rom information and then freezes...even the power button is not working...only battery removal helps

1.I can do a softreset but it doesn't bring anything

2. I can reach the hard reset menu but I desperately need my data

3. I can log to the bootlogger but I don't know what to do then

Any help wil be appreciated!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
If you have drained the battery then the power may be insufficient to restart the phone.

Plug it in without a restart and leave it to charge for as long as possible.

You should do this from a wall socket and use a power supply giving at least 1Ah charge current.

If this doesn't work then the battery condition could be terminal, especially if your charging practice has been to allow the battery to drain as a matter of course. They don't like this at all and after a while the internal circuitry will cut off permenantly.

Then your only recourse is to buy a new battery.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] milanpm:
Have you got your battery replaced? Has it solved the problem?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage2wrath:
I only ask this out of pure curiosity, but I remember reading an article in the news a little while back that the Feds can turn on cellphones and listen to them remotely if they have a warrant. Now obviously any tech like this would only work on certain phones but I was wondering if any knows if the Dream is capable of this or if there is anything in Android to accommodate it as well?
