Hi
Hi Nancy....

Still a bit confused
I have searched all over the internet, and understand "Wings" is some kind of S730 AKA, but cannot discern if the Phone was store bought as "wings" or did you have to first flash the ROM to make it say "Wings" in the device Information Model name: field.
This is what my HTC S730 says:

I have upgraded the official ROM from the HTC website.
I see on the first "sticky" in the Wings forum that I can install WM6.1
If this is possible, I think it looks like a very interesting option for me.
Your phone is actually a HTC S730, code name "Wings". The OS on it is not relevant. You have come to the right place, dacheeta
edit: I see that you're from the netherlands. Please allow me to point you at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452397
Thank you spone1
After searching for quite some time, I did find one reference to Wings, its said it had a modified ROM to turn it into a "PocketPC" type phone.
Is this accurate?
Believe it or not I walked all day in my city, Amersfoort, to find the only phone with an English OS, I was going to get the HTC TynII but it was only in the Dutch Language.
Now~ I know you can change all that so I would have gotten the HTC TynII.
and I do want an all English OS, to simplify things.
However this October I can finally renew my 2 year contract and get a new phone, and hopefully theres something better than the TynII, maybe the Touch HD Pro, well I'll keep watching the reviews.
Thank you for your help, I have been at a point where I almost clicked "Next" to convert my ROM for the 6.1 OS, but chickened out, I guess I just need to know what are the reasons for me to do that Pro/Cons?
I have read that too, flashing a modified TytnII rom onto the S730 but I wasn't sure if it would be sensible. For instance, it has no touchscreen. And imo a touchscreen is pretty much necessary for a touchscreen OS. Imagine controlling Windows without a mouse. It works, but it's a pain. I must admit that I never tried it on the phone.
So you're now at 6.0? I'd really recommend upgrading it to 6.1, even if you just try it. I like the new homescreen very much. All important information in a single view. If you don't like it, just flash it back to the stock rom again. No gain, or pain, or how do they say that?
If I understand you correctly, you spent an entire day in Amersfoort visiting all the phone shops out there searching for that single phone which carried the English language? Damn you're one of a kind A friend of mine got a S740 "Rose" with his new contract. It's just slick. It will be my next phone.
No I never intended to flash a TynII ROM on my phone, rather wanting a TynII with English OS. so Settled with the S730 because it had English OS.
Well isn't it more complicated than that? flashing it? I mean don't I have to first turn it into the "Wings" (PPC ready) and then upgrade to WM6.1?
It isn't all that complicated. Forget about the PPC thing. First you will need to flash a piece of software that allows the S730 to run non-htc-approved ROMs, such as Alcalines rom or my deviation of it. This piece of software is called HardSPL. Compare it to the computers bios.
After that is done you can flash any ROM to it, HTC Original 6.0 or a custom 6.1 ROM (that is intended for the S730 of course). Compare it to the operating system on your computer.
But hey, if you don't feel comfortable doing it I won't push you into it. You'll just miss out on quite a nice upgrade.

I know this board is specifically for the XDA, but I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out. I own a Hitachi G1000 which is a PocketPC Phone Edition device that runs on Sprint PCS's CDMA network. I am wanting to upgrade it to 2003, but Hitachi and Sprint claim that they will never issue such an upgrade. I was hoping to use the 2003 ROMs that were released to upgrade the XDA, but I am concerned that it would not be compatable with the G1000 because of the CDMA radio, the camera built into the phone, and the hardware keyboard. What would I need to do to build a ROM that brings the Sprint utilitys and G1000 specific drivers into the new 2003 system, or is it even possible without assistance from Hitachi?
I think it would be very hard. most of the core part of the os
is very customized by HTC. I guess the same would hold for the g1000.
however, it would be possible to modify the romkitch/mkrom tools to create extended roms, based on your current rom version.
if these specs are correct
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,18795&start=1
then it's not going to happen
because of the whole
32MB Flash EEPROM (Note: OS is not upgradeable or reflashable)
Darn it. I also have a Hitachi G1000, and was hoping to use the ROM upgrades. Not to PPC2003, but rather just the enhancements for PPC2002. I have read many places that the ROM is EPROM, but this article does make me wonder.
Checked Hitachi, it's EEPROM, darn it, darn it, darn it. Looks more and more like they weren't sure if the thing would sell, or even take in the market. Some of the things/specs seem quite a bit short sighted on Hitachi's and Sprint's part. I love the device, but as I look to upgrade, or expand it's abilities, I become more and more dissappointed.
I feel your pain
The lack of expansion and upgrade options for the Sprint System is why I am getting rid of them and Getting an XDA. I really liked my 2032sp but I wanted a bit more. I have gotten an XDA and upgraded it to 128mb of Ram, an 1800 Battery and I can use it on any GSM Network. Good luck in seeking upgrade paths.
Yeah, I'm not a big GSM/GPRS fan. I can atleast get bursts of 80-100k on the 1xRTT, Sprint uses. Went with the Hitachi for the faster proc and keyboard, too. Probably just have to wait for the next gen of them.

man, what a great site!
So, I grabbed a Cingular 8125 aka wizard locked G4, refurb'd direct from cingular for 49.99 (after taking back the new SLVR L7 @ 149+tx = $162.)
Crazy how the next day the price went up to 79.99! lucky huh!?
Anyway what a great phone (till I catch a deal on a 8525 lol ) paired with slingbox, I feel like the "king of the world!"
ok well maybe not, but....
*side note* anyone considering buying a slingbox:Bestbuy and circuit city both have the slingbox pro for 199.99! thats like getting a free HD conect cable...
I could use some advice (instead of flashing with every rom and not having a phone during those times, I only have this one and I would like to find a stable rom) could you guys give feedback on some of the roms I could use on my locked G4

There are many wizard chef's with many delicacies for your device. Faria's roms are typically jam-packed with lots of things you might need. Anything made from mun-rus (ie. xplore series, NotTooSmart) is typically stable. Other roms worth considering are NBD, underground, Most Beautiful, Business Edition etc.
There are too many roms to choose, it really is a matter of personal opinion. Most of the common roms are listed on the wiki page.
Good luck choosing.
fastest is superrom1.1 but not much in it (depends if you use everything in the others how much this matters)
anything by molski is fast and good compromise between the heavy loaded (and somewhat slower) faria releases and the superrom1.1
wm6 is slower than 2.26 but obviously newer, and that's where the chefs are working nowadays.
just decide what you want in it then shortlist the roms available
slept a few hrs...
Now back to these threads, that go 80pages in 2 days!!! lol
Thanks for the feedback bwesty.
Funny too, I re-worded my post and removed all the hip lingo... (Chef, cookin, etc.)
I didnt want you guys taking me for someone who actually knows what the heck they are doing. hahaha but Im getting there.
bbobeckyj, I did sucessfully upgrade my device (about 2 weeks ago) to a custom WM6 Rom (forgot which one) with out a glitch in about 10 mins.
it was when I tried another rom ( the first one was nice n clean, but no apps) for some reason I thought I could just cook the rom without following the same instructions, that I ran into a slight problem (scared thie **** outta my self, since the phone was like 2 days old....
but Im back to confront my fears!!!
Thanks for the help friends!
I'll Keep ya's posted
Xtra
I agree with the comment about Molski being a good balance... used his final 2.26 for a long time, but now shifted to 3.3. It is crossbow-ish in look and feel, but since it's still WM5, very stable and decently responsive.
With the battery hack -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1140163#post1140163 -- I am averaging about 2-3% drain/hour, so a full day plus.
Also, you may want to play with the radio ROM you use. I'm using 2.61 and getting good results. Others not so good.
Right now I have a really workable device, almost can get over my jones for a new phone (HTC Advantage)... Ooops, it's still there. But anyway, having a smooth-running phone is great.
Seems Im going to have to change the radio rom also...
turns out I been missing calls, and a few voice mails also werent recieved till the next night! (sux my friend was outside waiting for me for an hour @ 2am )

Here is a sneakpeak of what to come in a new build.
Will be used as basis in rom for p4350 and wing.
A faster, more stable rom then the one based on the official wm6, details on that you will have to wait and see

Really nice, but is the background logo on everything change-able? I like your rom allot, but it would be nice to have the option to change the logo like @ Slide2unlock.
Other then that, really nice! Best i've seen!
Awesome. Cant wait.
Now that's just too damn sexy! I can't wait.

AWESOME
I am using your rom on my wing and by far this is the BEST.
Keep up the great work dude and looking forward to your new rom...
I noticed with the last version you were pretty much limited to the software provided or you ran out of space due to the massive amount of tmo software that preinstalls. Yes, a 4mb pool and yes I soft reset before personalization for those who would ask. I was using the lite version. I liked it and all because it was wing compatible but ended up going back to the pediavet newest one instead because it just ran smoother. Maybe I am missing something since everyone else says this is the best.
the welcomescreen, slide2unlock, w/e is changable if you know how
twistedumbrella, I have no clue whatsover what you are talking about, limited space because of massive(???) amount of software??? Im dont think I see the point there , but you are free to use any roms, pdaviet, mine....or whatever rom you find that suits your needs
Remember I built the wing rom without having knowlege to it, and I had no way of testing it to see how it works.
am loving the comm manager

Looks pretty slick - I like the black. Will VOIP be included as part of ROM?
Looks nice, esp. comm manager. Any chance of getting that as an individual cab? And how is the uber-optimized rom with the finger scrolling going along?
In love with a stripper
I love this new rom version but noticed the wifi on my wing has been stripped..any way to get this back?

Stripped? You mean that the wifi button doesn't do anything? It's a small registry mixup. I think it's [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\TNETWLN1"
(The bold being what you should change. Alternatively, you can try a newer ROM or a newer version of Touch-IT.
wow, this looks nice!! keep it up itje!!
Can't wait, I'm using Touch It 2.3 right now and I love it. The only problem I have with it is the comm manager keeps popping up, but I read somewhere that that was a WM issue not the rom. Is there going to be a fix for that? Its not that big of an issue. One other question, might be kinda premature but, are you planning on building a rom around WM6.1 when it comes out in 08?
I would like to request a LITE version without a cube or Voice Speed Dial (with OEM Microsoft Voice Commander). Office 2007 is a must! I am running Open Touch it only for that reason, even though I love the Home screen/icons better on your 2.3. Thanks.
The rom looks great and can not wait to try it.
Glad to see that your still around to create new roms for the Herald.
Thanks again for all of your hard work.
I could be wrong but the OP dated 02-10-2007. This is an old post and someone just recycled it again .
Contract w/ ATT up in June, any suggestions / rumors for a good replacement? Prefer HTC, maybe others? I want at least the functionality of the Tilt, and then some. Maybe WM7 based? I like newer stuff and don't mind tweaking, actually insist on some tweak-ability http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
I would go with the Pro2. It has the tilting screen that the Touch Pro didn't, and this time in WVGA. It will be released with 6.1, but will be upgradable to 6.5. In theory, it will be upgradable to WinMo 7 too, but only time will tell. The worst that could happen is you could have to flash a custom WM7 ROM. If you buy the Unlocked version from a place like Expansys-USA, I am expecting a price tag of at least $750. Check out this and this.

You know AT&T is going to fsck up the keyboard.
Unless something better comes along -- I plan to get the Pro2 when my Kaiser dies (or when the prices for the Pro2 come down a bit )
I will sure miss all the buttons and the jog wheel though
*This* was my next phone before HTC unveiled the TP II , now we will have to compare.
I know that T-Mobile will supposedly be getting the touch pro 2, but have we heard anything about at&t even getting it?
If my sources are correct, it is extremely likely that AT&T will get this, I believe by December. However, they will probably ruin it as usual with trial applications, junk shortcuts to their services, and they will most likely ruin the keyboard, etc. This is why I'm just gonna save up, pay more to buy it unlocked and bypass AT&T entirely.

According to my sauces, it will be called the Barium ( as in Barium enema ) and yes, it will include the great AT$T keyboard.

I got myself a great new iphone to replace my crappy Tilt, but I still hang around the kaiser forums because ............................................................................
I am one of most worried xperiencers with this news, and I want to do something now. I am worried because
- My X1 is just new
- I bought it for $799(Probably, I am the first guy to buy this in my city)
- I don't want to Sell this out at least few months from now and move to X2
- The "flattery" panel interface just not good as expected. I still love the optical key pad.
- I am feeling like cheated by SE as they just did a big hype on this as a marketing strategy, which is OK but they should continue support for this, instead going on violently into the market releasing a new phone with almost same features(I didn't see noticeable changes b/w X1 and X2 except camera), to show their marketing skills again.
- I didn't get many updates or many of the issues, which I thought are real issues, are not yet solved.
- I am equally comfortable with SPB 3.5 with carousel view(Even they did a good job)
There are more.
I have a question in mind that "Am I the only one worrying about this?". Please add your comments.
Thanks.
my bet is that you did not read the topics in the x1 forum, not even the first page
Yes, you must check this forum thoroughly. I bet many if not most of the people here are running WM6.5.1 on their X1's right now. It may not be "official" but it's working just as well.
I have been using the Cristian Clean 3.001 ROM and it feels like I just bought a new phone. I even modified the page pool to 16MB and the X1 is slightly peppier too!

I am not worrying about. Why do so many people buy the X1 with the assumption that SE will offer an upgrade to WM6.5? What did you pay for? An XPERIA X1 with all the accessories and functions label on the spec sheet...nothing more...and arguably nothing less. You guys are too wishful of thinkers.
With that said, XDA offers a GREAT selection of WM6.5 ROMs to choose from. So even if SE did offer a WM6.5 update, XDA will always offer a better one.
READ THE OTHER THREADS ABOUT THIS TOPIC,PLEASE.
NO ONE PROMISED YOU FREE STUFF.
YOU GOT A DEVICE WITH A FULL OS.
STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT LACKING SOMETHING YOU WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO GET IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THE X1 IS ONE YEAR OLD, 6.5 WAS RELEASED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND
SE NEVER MARKETED XPERIA WITH THE 6.5. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?
IF YOU WANT 6.5 GO TO THE ROM SECTION AND DOWNLOAD IT.

I bought x1 i think first in my city (from Germany, it has not started selling here) i could say in my country too,(small country, support 0, not official se service, they have with privat company contrat to repair,and in most time phone ends in other countries for repair and you wait for....) but i bought it because of course i like it, and i know that there is big support here on xda.
all oficcial SE (all 3 of them) roms were lousier than cooked. I had fear of cooked roms but after reading, and reading and jailous how others are satisfied with their new roms, i courage and flash my x1.Now im happy, and when i see that i dont depend on SE mercy i dont break had whith their updates.
So there is 6.5 ROM(s) for Experia 1,take your time, read this forum, find what you want, and you will be satisfied with your x1.

Also, because you don't know how to flash a rom, I suggest you start here:

Also, here are video tutorials:

Just so you know, backing up your rom is not necessary unless you want to flash back to your original stock rom. However, you can download stock roms from here:

However, I HIGHLY suggest this rom:
http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=536551&highlight=pctech+4u
Thought is may not be windows mobile 6.5, it is much, much faster than the stock rom and all 6.5 roms I have tried. Also, the start menu and all the other menus have been made bigger and more finger friendly.
Orelsi, sometimes your responses are more of a nuissance than the people asking questions they shouldn't ...
