t5358+ touchflo 3d from chinese to english

WORKS ON T5358+ (WQVGA 240X400 RESOLUTION)

======================================

EXPLANATION

(how it works but you don't need to do all this,

just scroll down a bit further to the DOWNLOAD section

======================================

i used the following chinese rom:

--------------------------------------

Chinese ROM for t5358+, WM6.5_23093 with Manila_v2.0.1919 and a bunch of programs integrated:

vdisk.cn/down/index/4304751A9282

--------------------------------------

i downloaded this rom using idt to my t5358+

then ran spb mobile backup using FULL BACKUP that was included in this rom

saved the backup to my memory card

then flashed the following english rom from my memory card into my phone

--------------------------------------

English WM 6.5 ROM for the T5358, tested it and it works :

rapidshare.com/files/381552055/T5358__Win65_Eng_with_ZoomBar_working.rar

--------------------------------------

then went to settings-->backlight and switched to always on

then went to setings--> power and switched to always keep phone on

then ran backup2010****.exe from my memory card using third option (update on different device)

--------------------------------------

to fix coreplayer running in chinese

uninstall fly wireless coreplayer, and all programs that are called fly****

run total commander and open registry

then search coreplayer and delete both files that were found

then reinstall your version of coreplayer

might not work first time so repeat if necessary or use a portable version

--------------------------------------

after install ram usage is around 70%

as far as i know you can't use manila 2d customizer without messing something up so use it for what its worth (the looks)

you only have about 20 mb of ram left so keep an eye on task manager and end any excess applications

here is a screenshot

flickr .com/photos/51234239@N05/4711039198/

remove the space

it almost looks like htc hd2's tf3d but without the 3 shortcuts on home

======================================

DOWNLOAD (this is all you really need to get tf3d and its only 30mb)

======================================

clean boot or hard reset and setup phone so it wont sleep to install this backup file :

--------------------------------------

mediafire .com/?1zjtxjmm5fo

remove the space

--------------------------------------

and now you have tf3d on t5358+

======================================

CONCLUSION

======================================

its not perfect but if anyone has a better way then props for you.

also you can run spb backup after you setup your phone the way you like it and save that backup file to your memory card and share it online like i have

now you have your own "cooked rom" sort of...

i think this is the only way to do any cooking on this phone at least in english
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] :
Success

Thanks to mobileuncle.com and google translate, I now have a 100% working g-sensor on my t5388+. Simply download the attached file and place the contents into the windows folder of your T5388+ (You may have to enable show protected system files in folder options). And thats it! you can now use any app such as changescreen or gyrator to auto rotate the screen. (I take no credit for these files, all credit goes to mobileuncle.com)

Man, that's cool. We seriously need to start cleaning up these clone threads and make a list of links to important info. Otherwise all this stuff gets lost in hundreds of pages. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Yes, we may need separate threads, but better would be to add to the wiki, the reason being the wiki can be maintained by several people. For instance, I never could add info to the opening email of this thread. And a few months from now, I lost interest and any thread I may start has the same prblem.

But to actually start a wiki page, well firstly I am afraid the 'real' HTC users may remove it again, and secondly I am afraid I would find myself obliged to keep maintaining it, and I am already spending too much time on this thread.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fachonga:
Felix516, I did what you said. I can execute the gyrator now, but when I want to see if it is working or not on the application that I configured, again appears the error gyrator2.exe

Could you help me with this problem?

Thank you.

I have the following version of T5388++ dual sim

English ROM C03.001.01, 2010-03-15 ENG

Radio version 2-2-2010 13:50:3

My main problems are that

1.there is no option for sending sms from sim1 or sim2

2.when an unknown caller phones me the call recognition is all messed up(someone calls and i see somebody elses number!) and to fix it i need to restart every now and then.

Could someone be kind enough to point me to specific the link for T5388++ flashing process because no matter how much i've searched i haven't found it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Hi there,

The only roms posted so far are the same version you have, unless you've got the one I originally had with Android running from the SDcard, in which case the latest one has it running from the internal memory alonside WM, can be found here:

http://solonomi.com/rom/

to install, place all the files on a less than or equal to 2gb SD card formatted to FAT NOT FAT32, and not in the folder contained in the archive - place the files directly onto the root directory of the card. After which put the card in the phone.

Hold the volume up button, then press the power button, and hold both untill the progress bars appear. Spend an anxious couple of minutes watchin the flash progress, after which it should restart, and you're done.

The advantages are that Android is now quicker, and you can use any SDcard you like up to 16GB (I think). The disadvantage is that you loose internal storage space for WM, so will have to install most of your apps onto the SDcard.

From trawling the chinese forums though, I see there is a test ROM with Android 2.1 being experimented with, that includes the missing Google Apps, so it may be worth just waiting for an English release, no I dea how long this will be.....

Hope this is of use :)

P.S. I've not found a ROM with TouchFlo for this phone, but SPB Mobile Shell runs fine.

touchflo 3d/sense

Still no one has figured out how to put the real touchflo 3d or sense onto any of these phones? i noticed that the t5388 is supposed to have a marvell processor? Don't understand why these phones couldn't run touchflo 3d, they have opengl es right? Or am i missing something, is it somthing these phones are lacking? touchflo has been ported to the omnia 2 so it doesnt have to be an actual htc phone. anyone have any information?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] megamac55:
question about spb mobile shell

I have purchased a t5358+ and a t5388+ and im having a problem with the weather widget. Ive searched everywhere and can't seem to find an answer. The weather forecast in mobile shell will not download. Current conditions downloads fine, be the weather forecast just shows "no weather data has been downloaded." Can anyone tell me whats going on, and how to fix it, thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fachonga:
Finally gyrator is working on my T5388+!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Felix516!!

You have to keep it minimize. I will put it on the startup folder.

I'm HAPPY!! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] otakuProgrammer:
Thanks a lot for your speedy reply adstraylight it really helped paint the picture of the current situation I am in with my phone. Yer I read something about Android 2.1 for these phones when I did some recon work on MobileUncle. Ah if that rom comes out that would be great as the wifi support is iffy and the gps support is non-existent; plus the time reverts back to Chinese after a reset :/. But I'm looking forward to a legit Google Android Market app =). WM works fine though just one gripe when you dial a number it doesn't show what you dialed >.>

Anyways if you find any cool tricks or tips for this phone do message me and I'll do the same.

Update, I have received a new sd card and after about 24 hours no coma ;)

t5388+

Hello, any new english or spanish rom for T5388+? (dual sim, 480x800, 3.2mpx, 600mhz qualcomm)? i have c03.001.01ESN, radio version: 3-22-2010.

im still waiting to update with modem from 5388i , to get rid of the + calling problem.... and hope to get a best response with my gps.......

please anyone tell me, it doesn't matter if its in english or spanish... is there any newer and better? thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
Can you tell me how can i flash it with sd card,or any other way ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
No need, i found the way to flash my T5388+++(or A1) with sd card :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
The ROM you gave me was correct, thanks :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Afaik no newer rom yet (not as a file anyway), but you can flash the modem only from the English 5388i to get the April 16 modem, so the + problem is gone. Just select modem only in IDT.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Which means that as suspected the TOPS A1; A1+ and T5388+++ are all essentially the same phone. Thanks for remembering to report back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JRMOBILE:
I just tried it today.

It was all over in 2-3 minutes,but the same result ... no signal and GPS problem !!!

I understand now that it is hardware problem,so if the seller fix it would be great,if not...i am gonna try fix it my self if i am lucky, because i don't have the schematics and i will have to work circuit by circuit.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
re your bad GSM reception:

You may want to update the radio only from the latest T5388i. If you do modem only, there is no risk to your T5388++. Maybe it will fix your bad GSM. Or otherwise, I was wondering if you also had GPS problems, and whether you were using the alu-foil

Also, the bad caller ID can be solved, I added it to the Wiki.

Can anyone explain if this device can works with a FM radio and the G sensor working?

So I want to flash the better ROM vith manila for this device to obtain the same issue as the HTC diamond 2, same UI and programs.

Can anyone help me and post a link? Wich is the best/stable ROM available and work with FM radio and G sensor?

please help me!!!!:(:o

please help!!!:(:o

please!!:(:o

Thank you!!!:)

PS Sorry for bad English:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I can get pretty upset by this sort of request. You post the same question every week or so, but you are not even reading other posts.

Yes, this thread is becoming big. But inbetween your previous post and this one, there was at least one guy posting he found a ROM, and another he found how to get sensor working.

And no, don't dare to ask for a link. Just go and read the last 10 days of posts.

Can you add the instructions for the SD flashing method?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] HuaB:
I have 5388i. I get network-coma with last modem ROM (16.04.2010). But there are several days no coma with previous modem ROM (22.03.2010). Maybe something other problems but seems it to be modem problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I have read somewhere on the German forum that it is possible to do with SD method, but I have never done it myself, so I would ask someone who has done it to describe it.

Also, I am pretty sure that if you take the SD method, it will not be possible to flash "modem only", which is pretty bad, because the latest modem is only in that separate ROM. And you need the latest modem for the + issue.

:)Great job, this is the first TF3d I ever saw for a WQVGA device. :)Unfortunatelly there is a lot of chinese stuff and a few bugs inside. But don´t get me wrong, I can´t do it better.

I expect that the chinese manufacturers release a engish TF3d ina while. That´s what they have to do, because nobody likes these chinese ROM´s.

SD flashing method

The SD flashing method is quite easy.

Here is the instruction:

1. Download the ROM file of your choice (for example g-sensor-fix.bin for the T5388i).

2. Rename the file to the same name like the original ROM file on your SD card (it´s K3IMG.bin for my T5388i).

3. Copy the file to your SD card. (Insert the SD card into your device.)

4. Make a hard reset and the new ROM will be installed automatically.

PS: Like cybermaus said with this method it is not possible, to flash only parts of the ROM.

I hope that this will help many of you, because flashing with IDT causes sometimes trouble.

And is it also required, like with other phones, to have a SD card or partition formatted as FAT16, in other words, 2GB or less?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
I flashed my T5388++ from the SD card. The instructions I got from my supplier said I should use a card less than 2Gb but as I only had a 4Gb one available I use that - and it worked with no problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hamkraus:
I use a 4GB as it came "out of the box". I didn´t format it, but it works well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Has anybody else received a T5388++ with this ROM on it? Just wondering if anybody who has it would be able to contact their reseller and get hold of a copy?

I have been digging around inside a few of these roms over the past few days and see there is quite a lot of stuff missing out of my C.03.001.01ENG rom that appears in the German copy and also in the T5388i roms - one notable exclusion is UssdServ.dll which might go some way to explaining the failure of USSD commands on this rom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] brrvarus1987:
roms

Do you know wich version are the roms posted on solonomi's website? www.solonomi . com/roms

i think those could be update it , at least more than the one i have, i have c03.001.01 esn for t5388++
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
The roms on Solonomi have been there for quite some time and are definitely not the most up to date. The German file is slightly different from all the others on there and contains a better radio (you will spot that it's a larger file) but rather than trying to compile a new rom from bits of multiple roms I'd prefer to go the easy route and just get a copy of the latest English rom which is obviously out in the wild somewhere.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] brrvarus1987:
roms

Hello, i see, i talked with john, from solonomi, and say they are waiting the new roms, they removed t5388i and ++ from their site, because they know the problems with callings and gps, and others, in fact i returned my t5388i to them, no problem with that, money refunded, but i have my t5388++ , i don't want to return it, is a good phone, i had in the past the N21, dual sim android, awesome phone, but this has better compatibility with some apps and best quality, not camera though.

i agree with you, must be a better rom somewhere, is there any possibilityy to get the latest rom from fastcardtech? they are still selling t5388++ and the i too i think, they have "support" i remember than someone here got the phone from theirs, it could be great if he or someone can get the rom to check it, i will try to send a message tothem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
That's what I was asking from the users who posted that they had got later roms. Not sure who their sellers are as they didn't say. I tried the company who I got mine from (Merimobiles) but so far all they have come up with is the one that's already hosted on Solonomi.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cc_569:
I tried Manila 2D with my T5388++, everything is ok, except the Wifi, NOT working with Comm Manager.

Can you please send me the version of Manila 2D & other related files you successfully installed?

Otherwise, can you tell me how to get the adapter name of the wifi?

also how to get the mac address of the wifi for my personal use.

(I surf too much sites to get information, but no proper answer)

I bought the phone at CNDIGIT.com: no user manual, and the support is bad:mad: They don't have post address, so I wonder how to send back for repairing in case of problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Not sure which part of the site they removed the roms from because the solonomi.com/rom/ page still has them all on.

I have contacted Merimobiles again but so far no response - they were even on MSN earlier but they ignored my message to them. :mad:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Not tried it myself but have you had a look at this one?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Two options: From the Wireless Manager, go into the Menu and WI-FI settings, and start stop from there. Or install WiFi Monster. So while indeed the slide-button in the Wireless manager does not always work, you should not let it upset you

They removed the phones from the webshop, not the roms from the romsite.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] brrvarus1987:
im not talking about the rom,s i mean the phones, they don't sell anymore t5388i and ++ , only have the roms in their site, after talking with him, it seems they're as we , expecting new roms, at least that he told me.. not sure
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] brrvarus1987:
roms for t5388++ progrss

Hello, asked to fastcardtech, they said this:

quote: "Repaly Time:2010-06-22 17:11:48

Answer:Our phone no problem with gps also call out or call in. every phone we will test before ship. Your friend need find his seller for exchange problem phone."

Now, i received their answer to my email, they removed my question and their answer from the site: http://ww w.fastcardtech.com/goods-4320-Diamond2%20T5388%20first%20dual%20sim%20standby%20Windows%2065%20mobi%20Quadband%20%20G-sensor%20%20600MHz%20CPU%20GPS%20WIFI%20FM.html

so, i can think in 2 things: they know about this and don't give a @@@@ about the problem or they truly fix the problem and my question and answer could be seen as bad advertising to them, anyways, they are not willing to send me any rom.

so we need to find the guy who bought to them and ask him if he can request the rom as buyer to them.

any thoughts?

Hello, the links is broken, can you upload it again?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Works OK for me - did you use the link within the page I sent you to? Anyway, here is the direct link.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
My thoughts, and I expressed them before, is that a ROM will not help you. Of course, I would love the C03.021.01 ROM to show up somewhere, but even in earlier ROM's we had bad and good GPS devices with the same ROM.

A ROM will only fix a software error, and with GPS being global and not provider dependent, all phones should behave the same with the same ROM.

I truly believe its a hardware problem. Could be as simple as a bad antenna connection (internal pictures show an antenna connection just below the antenna), could be as complex as a badly etched board or chip. But I admit, opening up these devices to re-seat the antenna takes quite some skill.

Having said that. if you manage do get a new ROM, please do post it, though I would not expect more from it than having filled in the blank menu items for SMS and some other minor stuff (according to reports from the C03.020.01 GER users)

Original HTC TouchFlo TF2d on T5388i

After hours and hours, days and days searching, downloading, installing and testing UI´s for my T5388i I finally found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=499578

If you install all the files you will get a fully functional HTC Touchflo 2d.

Here is a copy of the first 2 threads:

This TouchFlo is modified for an LG Omnia, so there is one small thing in the registry that has to be modified. It´s the program for the all people tab in the contacts.

Go to \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:SECCONTACT and change the value 1 from seccontact.exe to :MSPOUTLOOK contacts

I only figured out 3 little bugs. The 2 camera buttons on the Photos and Videos page are not working and WiFi could not be switched on in the CommManager. WiFi could be set at \settings\connections\Wi-Fi.

So it´s just a little workaround.

In addition I addes some pictures.

Install an d enjoy it.

is it only for WQVA? as the t5388++ is WVGA not sure if its compatible.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hamkraus:
Maybe it will work also on a WVGA device. I would recommend that you make a full backup of your device and install afterwards the ... all-in-one.cab

Don´t forget to enable Touchflo 2d in the today settings.

If TF2d doesn´t work you can easily restore your device with the backup.

There is no risk that you brick your device with TF2d.

I have big problem with T5388i. Sometimes it loose network without visible appearances. It looks like phone is in network but nobody can call me. And it loose both sim's network at 1 time. This problem also have some other owners but not all. So maybe it's problem of SIM-cards (such problem as i386 phone). My sim-cards both 1 year old and maybe only much older sims works well?
