[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Welcome Paul :) Good to see somebody thinking ahead about things like this!

1) I think a lot of people here will agree that the TP2 is the pinnacle of a "fully-capable" smartphone...it's definitely the best of the QWERTY-enabled hardware available today, and will probably remain so until/unless they eventually release a HD2 or equivalent with a hardware keyboard (...heaven willing!)

2) I've never used the Vodaphone ROM, but most carrier-specific ROMs are lacking in some way, and a large number of the ROM's available here will work regardless of which carrier you have...as long as you use one for the correct NETWORK type (which I believe is CDMA for Voda). Often the aftermarket ("cooked") ROMs developed here are based on carrier-issued ROM, then "improved" in any number of ways.

3) As orb3000 said above, there's no real way to subjectively recommend a "best" ROM...each has it's own pros and cons that have to be weighed against the needs/preferences of the user. The best place to start on that is to read THIS and THIS thread on flashing ROMs, then read over the threads related to each ROM that's been cooked/released here. Again, just make sure you're looking at ones that are for CDMA networks.

4) SBP Shell is definitely a great program, and can do a lot for the UI...but like most here I happen to believe that you can get more bang for your buck with the custom ROMs available here. Again, it's best to just try some out (including running a trial of SPB), and see what fits you best :)

THIS thread will help clear up the differences between windows mobile versions 6.5 and 6.5.3, which you'll see a lot of here.

So, you've got a lot of reading to do between now and when your new TP2 arrives! Once you get through all that, the next thing to learn is how to install/apply the fixes and tweaks available on XDA...usually that's done through ".cab files" (when you're lucky), sometimes through executable files, and sometimes through good old-fashioned registry edits by hand. I get the feeling you'll be learning about all that stuff quickly enough ;)

2 last pieces of advice...first, make friends with the search function here in the forums...its often more efficient than just posting a question, and will save you from the backlash that can happen when someone asks a question with answers that are readily available around here. Lastly, even though the ROMs and other tweaks here are produced out of a labor of love, most any and all developers will accept donations (however small) to help offset personal expenses related to the time and effort they put into the wonderful gifts they drop on us regularly here. Donations are always voluntary, but once you find a ROM or other bits that work well for you, it's always good form to express your appreciation via some kind of token like that.

Good luck! Your friend has no idea what jealousy is about until he sees the look on your face when you start playing with your new toy!! :D:D

Hi shingler...we dont hv sprint network in india..morevr the ad said that it is a gsm unlockd phone and seler can send nstruction if need to unlock cdma...wht is it actually..gsm or cdma...confusing..i hv vodaphone gsm ..will it work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
If you bought a Sprint-branded phone, then it's CDMA, and there's no changing that. You can't "unlock" a phone to switch between GSM and CDMA...so if your network is GSM, this phone is no good to you as a...phone :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Actually, that's not true. See, the funny thing about the Rhodium is that there are no exclusively CDMA versions. Instead, there are the RHOD400 and RHOD500 models, which are GSM/CDMA hybrids. People refer to them as CDMA devices because of the fact they operate on CDMA networks by default, but they have full GSM capability, and can use regular GSM SIM cards.

dheerpat: The device you have bought works on GSM, but it will be referred to as a CDMA device on this forum, and you should use CDMA ROMs on it, despite the fact it also works on GSM. You should be able to use a Vodaphone SIM with it as long as you put the device in GSM mode, and if the SIM doesn't work, you can unlock the device so it will work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dheerpat:
phew!!!!! missed a beat there..paid 500 bucks for it afterall
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
:eek: So there ARE dual-network Rhodiums! I've had this argument before, and was always told that it just wasn't true. Well I'm glad to know that I was right....back then anyway :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PaulCook1979:
Hi, thanks for the response - and thanks to everyone else who has responded (aprt from those who hijacked my post lol).

I wont be using CDMA as i believe this is mainly for the US not the UK? So my geeky mate tells me, we only use GSM in England? Is he wrong and we don in fact use CDMA?

He also looked very shocked when i repeated that a lot of people dont go for the SPB Shell... he said its awesome and im stupid if i dont get it... yeah well i got a HTC Touch Pro2 and you dont pal... lol

I will look at the ROM's (already started) and will 'play' with a few that look interesting. I presume the SPB shell will work with any ROM and not wipe out any functionality? If i go for the SPB Shell...

Quite comfortable with the use of .cab files.... may not be so sure with registry tweaks but ill learn...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, SPB Shell used to be the best option for customizing the interface on winmo devices, but that was before HTC introduced, and have since refined, the TouchFLO3D interface. There's also a ton more user-generated tweaks and such that have sprung up since then (as you clearly see now).

I don't know about the GSM vs CDMA carriers in the UK or Europe, I'd always understood that GSM was dominant, but there were CDMA carriers there too...but I really have no idea for sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PaulCook1979:
Well finally got my phone... its GSM....

Got the SPB shell - liking it.

Only issue i have is not being able to send MMS but trying to sort out.

So far so good - will play more once more confident - not bricking my phone for anyone lol

[Nexus One Android Development] Jak3Lovin:
So basically, the the motivation for one to use this rom vs. Cyanogen's ROM comes down to user preference? Sorry if I sound stupid, I am very greatful for the work all the dev's do for the community, just wondering what benefits might be gained from using this ROM vs. Cyanogen's i.e. performance gains.
[Nexus One Android Development] Ehsan021:
the rom is very fast buddy thanks .... but how can i disable se request ?
[Nexus One Android Development] hkfriends:
but I feel that Cyanogen's build has good in term of battery life.

Is anyone having trouble running Pershoot's UC/UV kernal with this ROM? Is there any reason it would not work properly?

Very cool.

I don't know why most have cyanogen ROM. There are lots of problems and MCR Rom works very very well.

Paul, no problems with new update here. It's very fast and everythings working fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] nexusdrummer:
I totally agree. Haven't posted much but have played around with a lot of things on here. This is my favorite yet it doesn't get the respect or following. Thank you Paul.
[Nexus One Android Development] FormelLMS:
Have a look at cyanogens ROM. Everyday he has a new release.

There are Betas, he want to start with nightlies, there are 3 patches with changes in the services.jar.

It don't make any fun to release themes for this ROM.

And the new releases are buggy, then you have to do a new update at next time.

At MCR it isn't so. There is one version, everything is fine, not everyday patchingto kill the bugs.

Much better.

I was using this until the trackball-wake function came up, I wanted it so I went to CM rom. Waiting to have the trackball-wake function in this rom!

after installing this rom my superuser apk is missing. all the other progs are there. anyone else seeing this? running wifi tether installs binaries and appears to work fine until i try to start up a connection, then i get "unable to start." i like this rom i'm gonna keep trying...
[Nexus One Android Development] anuria:
I have the same issue after installing modaco 2.1 I don't have the superuser apk, the only difference for me compared to the last time when I used modaco 2.0 is the recovery image, now I'm using "recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img".

I want to know with the people that have superuser problem, what recovery image version are you using?.
[Nexus One Android Development] trafficontrolr:
I am using the latest RA 1.7.0, i'll try an earlier version and see what happens...
[Nexus One Android Development] anuria:
[quote name='ionutmd' date='Mar 25 2010, 20:

The problem can be a ROM issue, but I remember there were reports of RA-Recovery 1.6.x making roms losing root after a nand recovery, so that's why I'm trying to get that variable out of the loop. I'm just saying...

[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
A quick update - I will have extremely limited Internet access for the next 2 weeks, so there will be fewer (if any) updates and less responses from me in thread until I am fully back online on the 20th April. Thanks for your understanding. ;)

That said, a lot of people on this thread have been here since the very beginning and are very knowledgeable, so I'm sure this thread will continue to thrive with everyone helping each other! :)

Definitely some cool stuff lined up for when I return - a new system that frees up space on /system and /data and I will be looking at selectively porting stuff from the Desire too, while maintaining the ultra stable core. The same applies for things like 360 degree rotate, trackball wake et al - i'll look to integrate them in an optional and very reliable manner.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] Kid Poker:
I'll have to admit that HTC Sense does look nice on the N1, but I just couldn't get the right feel for it. The first time I installed it, it went nice and smooth so I can see what the hype is all about. I went back to CyanogenMod's Rom. The 2nd time I tried to flash to this, I get through the screen then 3/4 of the way thru, the phone reboots itself, I go through the process again, and it reboots again. So I just gave up. Yes I did a clean wipe & install on it.
[Nexus One Android Development] getburnt:
Desire Camera on Nexus One

the camera ported from Desire is far better than N1's default cam, very neat.

still i have to report some little problems i found with the Desire camera:

1. all photos are named with IMAG prefix and saved in the /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA folder but sometimes titled with file names (IMAGxxxx) and sometimes with date and time in the file details;

2. after taking 10 photos IMAG0001 - IMAG0010 and deleting IMAG0002 & IMAG0004, the 11th and 12th photos i take would still be IMAG0011 and IMAG0012. but after rebooting the phone, the 13th and 14th photos would be named as IMAG0002 & IMAG0004 to fill in the gaps, then the 15th photo as IMAG0013;

is there any way to tweak and make the photos named in chronological order just like the nexus one camera simply names photos with date and time? and save photos to the same folder as nexus one camera does (/sdcard/DCIM/Camera)? coz the Gallery does not show the last photo taken as the first photo in the 100MEDIA folder.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
i like your work but...

i'm gutted that i'm getting FC on Apex uninstaller, newsrob, Estrongs filemanger, gesture search, SMS backup and about 5 others after upgrading to r13 from v2.1 :(

Market is painful to use and hangs a lot too...

on the flipside the camera is great :)
[Nexus One Android Development] getburnt:
ar right... i had problem with Market on last release (2.1), it always FC, no problem with r13. but system freeze many times on r13... need to remove battery to restart the phone...
[Nexus One Android Development] nebg:
my nexus is switching off with this rom, and my audio headset is not working ccc
[Nexus One Android Development] tropmonky:
Just to let everyone know I have very little issues with this ROM, however the phone seems to become more unstable after using it in the Google Car Dock... I have programs FC when they've never FC before on this ROM.

I've also noticed that with pretty much ANYTHING that displays video stops working when the phone is moved from landscape to portrait mode or vise-versa. At least for me this happens in youtube downloader, Orblive, and a downloaded video player..

I to have found the MUSIC auto playing when removing headphones annoying. Moreover it also happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I pull the phone out of the new Google Car Dock! VERY annoying! This needs some fixing. Has anyone found a fix for this??? I haven't seen anything regarding a fix for it yet..

What I've noticed is that it seems to play a song that the music player was last playing... even picking up where I last paused/stopped it. I'm wondering if there is a cached area where this info is stored can be cleared out and just never use the built in music player till a permanent fix comes out. I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure this out on my own, if there is anyone here that knows where this info is cached and give this a try and report back that would be awesome! Beyond this issues which are pretty minor (it's a STABLE build) I love this ROM and it is WAY better than stock... I simply LOVE the trackball alerts.

Man, with Paul not here the WHOLE Nexus one ROM scene has been basically DEAD!!!! Can't wait for him to come back and release some new shi... uh stuff! hehe. I need my weekly dose of new ROM and new add-ons!! LOL...

Thanks for bringing this over and I look forward to your future work.
