Official HTC wm6 rom for Wing! - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

Okay here is a HTC wm6 rom that works with the tmobile wing keyboard.
I no longer own a wing but I do remember it working very well with the keyboard wounderfull for day to day use.Not sure if it is 100% but it works a lot better than the other official roms. It is very fast and clean. Its night and day between the tmobile rom and this one. You would need to set up the data settings for tmobile, but everything else works great. The installer in this package is the Herald uspl installer which I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332998&highlight=HERALD+USPL so credit goes to POF for the installer. The rom in the package however is different. if you want to install it using some another method feel free to do so, the ruu is in the ruu folder, i just found this method the most reliable. Enough talk, here it is.
I take no credit for this or any responsibility for anything you do to your device. none the less I’m here to offer up my help. Enjoy
package is a rar file

Do you know who converted the NB into a WORKING NHB?

Has anyone tried this yet?
I only have my wing since saturday and i'm a little cautious about installing roms... for the moment

I tried it. It worked fine. I only tried it to see if I should switch my base clean ROM to this RUU but I'm sticking with the Tmobile one because it already is where I want it to be more or less anyways.

Thank you.. i think i'll give it a try.. before messing with cooked roms and such.

No idea on that one

This ROM works well on T-Mobile Wing, with a few minor problems
The ROM, as packaged, flashed easily onto my T-Mobile wing.
The "normal" keyboard mapping is correct, but when I used the keyboard for smartdialing, the Q, W, E, P, O, & L keys were mapping to the wrong letters. I changed a few registry keys under HKLM\Software\HTC\Smartdial and that was fixed. Also, Windows Media Player rotates the wrong way when I go to fullscreen, so I had to change the "landscape" key in HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation.
There's also the mapping of the Voice & Message button. The voice button is mapped as the comm manager button and the Message button is the Voice button. I went around this by just re-assigning the keys.
I overclocked to 260Mhz and this ROM is running great.

Here is a TMO Wing Original ROM with TouchFlo added

Here's the TMO Wing original ROM with TouchFlo added. After the screen alignment, the TMO customization app will run but it doesn't install anything. Give your phone some time to initially startup after the install before trying the TouchFlo. Use at your own risk. Thanks to the PDAVIET team for the install process, anichillus for the kitchen And I think??? Tom Love ??? for the TouchFlo process itself. If I've used something of someone else's. I'm sorry, let me know and I'll remove it.

I will try this rom now. But I still think that it is only included the TouchFlo, not the others app?
Is it possible if you cook a new rom based on the Wing OS like the version HERALD_WM6.0_4.17.07.12.PV? I have tried the Touch IT already but it could not compare with the .12.PV in general.
The biggest problem now is keyboard of Wing, it is different than 4350's keyboard. So if we can get the new rom with Wing OS, it is the best!
Thanks in advance!
Downloading now :] from the wifi across the street, this might take a while...
Please post asap guys how this works.
There are several questions I have:
Does this include ANY extra software?
if it doesnt include ANY, then is there a TF manager at least like touchflo 1.1?
Does this have the 6mb page pool applied to it?
It's the base tmob ruu, with touchflo. not bad but still way up on the mem usage since its the official ruu
i got it to install okay but i can't get touchflo started. there are no tf settings. it replaces the left soft key. some of the issues i read about before are apparent like clicking the "x" opens the right soft key.
reinstalling something else. GREAT JOB though and thanks for making this. i'll check it out again next release.
TF Settings are in the Programs Folder. It has the original page pool but, the quick page pool changer will still work. One thing I did notice though, the TF settings aren't checked but it does work for me. If it's not working, open the TF Settings and check 'Enable cube' and 'Enable Scroll'. Also set 'View mode' to 'TF default v4.1'. I'd hate to slim down the ROM and have it missing something that a lot of people use. If you want to customize the cube, open \Windows\BioTouch Settings. I will definitely be fixing a few things so post suggestions here. Don't expect any changes until next week though.
i couldn't find the settings dialouge in any folder. i went into the programs folder where all the programs are usually located (in the start menu) and then into all the subfolders, and couldn't find the settings. They were also not in the program files folder that i reached through file explorer.
Strange. it's all there for me. When I get home I'll flash back to the original RUU. Then reflash my version. Thanks for your input.
Almost the T-Mo ROM with Touch settings
Well it's almost what it says it is. Everything is there except for the basic T-Mo apps like Hotspot log-in, T-Zones and My5. Which isn't a bad thing becuase I don't use any of them, however it is the missing IM program, but again no big deal because that's available in th the forums here. All in all, so far I'm impressed.
is the keyboard layout correct??..other then that there will be no other reason to switch because some how i kept all my t-mobile files when i flashed to the touch it rom
Just a question. When i reflash, i normally cut out the customizing part. Is the touch-flo function a component of the "Customizing" function after a hard reset?

Best Herald rom

So I just ordered a Wing and it's in the mail now. Upgraded from the mda or wizard. Was wondering what the best touchflo rom was for this phone. The mda roms arn't compatible with the wing are they? Because I've been using the TNT 5.0 rom on my mda and liked it alot.
I would say this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327276
but since its a wing, and this rom is cooked for p4350 you have to do some tweaking, you can find info on how to in this forum
if not maybe u can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329913
And if you have questions or need help, check out the link in my sig.
What are the differences between the Roms?
For the Herald/Wing, the only ones I know about are :
Touch-IT
PDAVIET
Are there any other roms out there for this device?
The only Rom that I've ever messed with is the PDAVIET rom... and because of warnings I've seen people write such as "this is for herald users only, Wing users are on their own" etc... I've been hesitant to mess with them. When the PDAVIET "for wing users only" came out, was the first time I decided to go ahead and install a new rom.
Would it be possible for the people who made the Touch-IT rom to make it compatible with the Wing? I'm not 100% what all goes into building a rom or how much work goes into it? How hard would it be to make the keyboard work with the Wing and fix any other bugs that are present between the wing and the herald?
Correct me If I'm wrong, but I thought the wing was just T-mobile's name for the Herald?
The T-mobile Wing is known as the "Atlas" which is a variant of the Herald.
O wow, well good thing I know that now. I was considering installing TOUCHFLO v4.17.07.12 PDAVIET since it was made for the Herald. I guess that would work right. I was just wondering how stable it is at 273mhz. When I had the mda i never clocked it over 247mhz. Is the cooling better or something now?
*Edit Saw your is .14 not .12. Good to see there is a good rom out. I think I'll be trying that one.
Follow the link on my signature for the touchflo rom. It rocks...
I really want to try the touch-it rom, but I'm not sure i want to give up some keyboard functionality and whatever other bugs that have been reported... I would much rather stick to something that was made for the wing.

Is there any better instructions for that rom. Do i used the fixed version or the one on page one. Someone really needs to make another page about how to install that rom. There is way to much going on in that thread.
ok, I suggest this:
Give me a list of whats needed to be changed with the rom to make it compatible with wing, and I will cook a Touch-It rom for Wing.
I need to know what the diffrences is, I know there is posts about it here, but im not gonna stroll through it all to find whats needed, so if you want a rom for it, provide me with the info and you will have a wing rom by the weekend.
You can also provide me a link to official wm6 os for wing (unmodded)
cheers
I believe this is the download for the offical unmodded wing rom. Found on the wiki page.
http://uploaded.to/?id=l8jc08
I'm not aware of all the problems besides the keyboard as I don't even have the phone yet(it's in the mail). I'm aware of the keyboard problem. I'll try and collect some other things. I'm sure duprade probably knows more of them.
I only know what I have learned from Tyler... he would probably be the most appropiate person to ask, since i believe he is currently running the TouchIT rom.
The problems with the keyboard not matching up... which is what Tyler had posted on his guide
" There is some aspects that work just fine, and others that dont.
In portrait and landscape the touchscreens keyboard works just as its supposed to.
When using the actual keyboard, all MAIN keys (asdf, ect) work as they should.
All numbers when using ALT work as they should.
The rest of the errors is as follows:
*When using alt* (Formula: (Letter)(default alt function) = (Touchflo rom response)
Q ( = @
A - = _
W ) = !
E = EQUALS ?
L @ = =
O ! = (
P ? = )"
There are 2 other things I found on his post:
messaging key takes you to voice command,
the little "comic book dialogue" key takes you to the comm manager
alright cool, that's a start. I'm really glad we're getting this built. I'll try and get any more wing problems up tonight if no one else does.
Yes, the only issue with the Wing is a particular file in the OS, but I couldn't tell you which one. All I know is that no amount of registry edits can fix it, it has to be a DLL or something. I've compared everything, and it seems that the only thing different that I could find was the keybddr.dll appeared to be a different file size.
If you can fix this in your ROM releases (heck, even just including a patch or a tool or batch file to replace files in any OS.nb with the Wing-specific DLL as it appears to be a file that's in every install of WM6), I'll have your babies.
itje, I'm running your Touch-It ROM and the only issue that I have is the keyboard. Its kind of funny because I almost have all of the different keys memorized now. But yes, a fixed version for the Wing would be awesome.

Instructions how to upgrade is in the Touch-IT folder.
READ IT.
If you dont, you will spend even more time infront of your computer flashing the official ruu before trying again, why waste time, use 1 min to read and understand.
Remember:
If you dont like what I have added, or what I have removed or w/e please dont spam this thread with lame comments.
Disclaimer:
I take NO responsebility if you brick your device, if you do search the forums before you come flaming me/us here at XDA.
IF you brick your phone (Brick=the phone can be used as a building brick, or maybe a paperweight? Because you cant start it up.) Its no others fault but your own.
Mainly the reason for bricking a phone is:
1. Not reading the instructions good enough
2. Not following the instructions.
3. Not having a RUU that can unbrick the phone (the official installer with the official rom for your specific phone, with your phones default language. In.ex if yu have a german phone by default, you need a german RUU, if not you will get invalid vendor error)
4. Not reading the instructions good enough..again
5. Not following the instructions...again
If you dont understand after reading CAREFULLY, then dont bother flash your device with this or any other rom.

Wow, dude. Awesome. And just in time for me buying my P4350 monday (or tuesday possibly). Not having tried flashing before (but already having read the instructions several times, even though I haven't actually got a phone to do anything on), I don't know the quality of your roms - yet I presume from what I have read that they are quite good indeed.
So thanks for your work on the roms, even though the P4350 isn't exactly new.
Just out of curiosity, is it WM5 or WM6 it's built upon? I can't seem to locate that fact anywhere in your post, but I might have overlooked it for some mysterious reason.
EDIT: It seems I was a bit too quick to post the latter about me not finding the information. I googled a bit and it seems that Kaiser OS of that build mentioned above is indeed WM6. So I guess I answered my question myself
EDIT 2: First (or well, second), I guess?
glad to hear that you're still doing work for us. I can't wait to put this on my phone.
thanks mucho.

Hm, maybe this should be stickied. Easier to find it, as it seems to be the final version ever to be released.
I am however curious, itje. What if bugs pop up, will you be fixing those? Depending on their size and reach of the bug, of course.
hello itje,if i found a language pack french,with these release,work??

Well, it might work. If you find a language pack that works on wm6 then it might. Why don't you try it out? Just make a backup, flash, see if it works, flash back to your current rom and restore your backup. I'm sure it can't be that hard.
UAHUUUUU
I love the "READ ME-How To Upgrade" file
I love the new (light coloured) splashcreen and theme
I love everything man!
It is dumb saying so since it is the last version but this is the best release!
Installation went smooth! I really hope that this time everybody reads carefully the readme file since the package has the select OS feature.
Itje, come back to the herald whenever you want. I read somewhere that kaiser was way worse than Herald... I would think it twice
Great rom itje... I've founda little bug that becomes annoying when using CommManager: when I try to slect Settings -> Wireless lan nothing happens :?

My tytn2 is the best device/phone I ever held in my hands.
So does this rom have the keyboard and stuff working correctly? I think it was a problem in the past, if I remember right. Just curious because I just had to hard reset my phone because it's being stupid, so if this rom is (close to) bug free, I will probably flash to this instead.

If you have a P4350, and its default language is english. There is no issue
What messed up with soft keyboard was the softkeyboard from touch dual, and I didnt include it in this release.
If you want it, get the cab. The same applies to other programs that ppl wants that is not in this release.

To be honest I don't really know what touch dual is, so I'm sure I could do without it. I've been running the regular t-mobile rom with just the page pool change and a few programs (htc home, etc), and suddenly started getting this problem where my send button didn't work right and my phone would make some weird noises. I just did a hard reset and it seems to have fixed that, so while I'm at it I might as well add a nice new rom.
I know you've been working on roms for quite a while here, and I was holding off because of not wanting to re-do everything, but now since I had to start fresh, I might as well add something like this.
Thanks for all of the hard work you put into this stuff. I'm definitely going to give it a try.

Hide unwanted icons in programs ?

I know i can delete some from Windows/Start Menu/Programs
The ones I want to hide, are things like, Getting Started, Internet Sharing, Messenger, O2, Resco Update, Voice Recorder, Voice Speed Dial,Windows Live and Worldcard mobile.
Im sure I had a program before that did it, but cant for the life of me, remember its name, or where I got it.
Preferably free, or just one with a trial so I can hide them and then uninstall it.
Cheers,
Tony
Use a program like Total Commander to remove the link you wish from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Total Commander is free and can be found here http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
Best bet for this one is to read the WIKI and learn how to flash a cooked ROM. Choose one you like the looks of you and you will only have the apps on it that you like. plus you will get rid of all of that bloatware operators install as default
I flashed with the new HTC one, which removed all the O2 crap.
For some reason they didnt appear (the icons i wanted to delete) when i tried the first time in file explorer.
so just to clarify you have flashed the new official ROM but still have the o2 progs on the phone?
Has it all been unlocked both SIM and CID and hard SPL'ed?
Sorry Im at bit of a loss as to how this has happened
yep, got the new rom, says 6.1 (previously 6) on startup screen, sms threading works, so its upgraded. all thats there of O2's is the program to get o2 settings. I think anyway.
Before i upgraded, i had a small O2 taskbar with a little O2 task manager, thats now gone.
I have had the phone a few days, and while briefly reading over the wiki, havnt had a good in depth read yet, so i have no idea how to check if its sim or cid free, or hard spl'ed.
I tried using hard spl, but got a white screen, so i followed a tutorial in another thread and it worked.
(And the 4th edit ) ... I assume it is sim/cid free, when i tried running the update utility the first time it said something along the lines of its not possible with that carrier.
If it says not possible with carrier then to me it would suggest that it still is SIM locked search for OliPros SMI/CID unlocker and follow the instructions on that to unlock the handset. If it has been updated to WM6.1 and still having probs after you have followed all of these steps then these programs are more than likely cooked into that ROM so there is no physical way of uninstalling them as they are part of the OEM. But TBH you would be better off getting one of the cooked ROMs from our ROM section as they work a damn sight better than the official release and incluse much better apps
It 'said' not possible, then i used another app, which i deleted since and cant remember.
Then it updated fine.
I have now installed everything and re-set it up 3 times. I might wait a while before flashing to a custom rom. Its all the talk of radios that confuses me at the moment. Like i said, when i get chance, ill sit and read through everything properly.
lol I was the same when I first started but you will find that everyone on this forum will help you if you ask nicely. Also although the flashing sounds complicated its really as simple as dl the ROM and click a couple buttons on your PC.
BTW Welcome to XDA
Thanks
First chance i get ill sit down and read properly
Right, i think I have installed Duttys rom correctly.
Device information now says,
Rom Version : Dualtouch v6 WWE
ROM Date : 03/04/08
Radio Version : 1.65.16.25
SMS works, calls work, internet works, my only gripe so far is a slow boot time, it seems slower than before.
Now to install everything again for a 4th time

Fixed Keyboard/Touch screen and more ATT Tilt

*Second post is a quick tutorial of all the steps I did*
For the past year+ I lots of problems with my tilt. Terrible keyboard response problems, like the keyboard only working 25% of the time. The touch screen being unresponsive or slow 50% of the time. I've hated my phone. Thought it was just a piece of junk. I soft reset so much I thought the reset button was going to fail.
I tried nearly every new ROM that came out, each time after being dissapointed because my problems remained, then I'd move on to the disable xt9 cab, tilt keyboard fix cab, keyboard speed up cab (which I'm still not sure if works, since I now have my initial keyboard delay set at 0 and I don't know if I see a difference), etc. Tried the touch sensitivity registry edit, installed the (I think) x1 touch sensitivity cab. But nothing seemed to change a thing.
I had realized that most of my issues were software related because sometimes things would work fine (for a couple minutes). I've tried the press the hell out of the keyboard buttons fix that was supposed to regain contact between the key, and the sensor for the keyboard, and pretty much everything out there.
Then I recently installed the HTC ROM for the Tilt, and voila, I have a new phone, works nearly flawlessly.
Since then, I have installed Manila 2d (start with update 20, install everything included, then install the latest version) youtube/opera/google maps/audio manager/pictures etc. all work perfectly, installed the Manila2D v20 N2A patch which fixed the weather tab to show my home town, M2DC and applied a new skin, Total Commander (to move the edited weathercities file), Wstask (awesome), ATT Navigator, Windows Live (great for syncing contacts), and it works perfectly. It's fast. I can use my phone now without the struggle, and am happier than I've been in a long time.
I haven't heard anyone suggesting this so I thought I'd let everyone know. This is the phone I always wanted from my Tilt. I have to assume that the minor hardware differences between versions creates a problem with non-native ROM's, and if you are having problems I recommend trying a factory ROM made for your device, you may be pleasantly surprised.

*edit* As I'm sure most know, there are hardware issues with the keyboard for many, this will obviously not fix those issues. However, I was able to fix the massive software issues I've had which also effected the keyboard. I still have a testy Y key, but it's not a huge issue when compared to what it was like before. My phone works great.
Correct Forum?
Flashed to the HTC ROM for the AT&T Tilt, download here:

Soft reset immediately after screen alignment, and setup to avoid bloatware.
Adjusted settings for MediaNet:

If you do it right, I think you'll be happy campers, enjoy!

I've been having the same issues with my tilt as well. EXTREMELY annoying. I love the tilt, but hate that it constantly lags.
Do you have a link to the ROM from HTC?
The last ROM from HTC for the tilt gave me problems
Yes please post the link as i am also having this problem.
Thanks
Link inside!
Here y'all go. It's important to note that this is ROM build 1.62.502.0 and will change your radio to 1.27.14.09. Further info can be found HERE
HTC AT&T Tilt ROM
Different link to the Rom
Here is the link for the page HTC posted the Tilt ROM download if you would like to read first before downloading:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
Hope this helps you guys. For me it was night and day. Let me know if this helps you guys.
Also, I wonder if there are any ROM cooks out there who are interested in cooking ROM's based on the Tilt ROM. That would be sweeet!!!
Dustin
*edit* I'm not sure about the ROM tmnt.mikey posted, but the link I've posted does not change the radio to that version, I flashed and have radio version 1.65.21.18. I'm not sure what radio I was using pre-flash (oops).
does this work with kaiser as well?
because at&t does not have the front camera...
so if i flash to this rom, will it render my front camera unusable?
not that it's really that important, i'd rather have my keyboard functioning well again.
other than that, is there any complication if i run this on my kaiser?
because in the HTC page, it's said... only for at&t tilt...
Kaiser ROM
I have no way to know if this ROM will work for the Kaiser, someone would have to try it out and let us know. I can't imagine it would brick the phone, but the keyboard layout is different, and the front camera thing. However, you might look for the latest Kaiser ROM from HTC then apply all the cabs you want and see if that works for you. I installed the ATT ROM, then did a soft reset before the apps were loaded to save space and clutter, then installed just the cabs I prefer.
It's been almost a week now, and it is still working perfectly. I've installed almost 20 different cabs, it is running faster, and more stable than it ever has. I love my phone now. The difference is stunning. I haven't had any issues thus far, and I've never experienced that before. I hit a button and it works, I touch the screen it works. I'm going off about it so much because I want everyone to know this phone is not a lost cause. I'm still a little in shock how well it works. I had written it off, and thought between HTC, and Microsoft that this phone was just going to remain a glitchy pain in the rear. My phone was so difficult to use that I almost stopped texting all together. I was practically marking off each day on the calendar waiting for the remaining year of my contract to run out.

i actually followed the link from dustintm...
but the download was not for my area (i'm in singapore)
and you can't download it anyways...
you need to key in your serial number...
and it has to match the region...
so if that really fixed the keyboard problem...
congrats to those guys in the same region as dustintm...
as for why it happened, i also don't know...
i read in some other thread that it's unlikely if it's dust or the rubber...
i also think it has to do with the ROM, since some days my 'a' keys works fine...
Asian TyTN II ROM
Hey Jonathan,
Here is the link to the HTC Asia download page for the TyTN II:
http://www.htc.com/au/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=13&act=sd&cat=all
Just so everyone knows, this ROM change I am talking about does not fix hardware related issues. I still have a testy "y" key, it works most of the time, but I do have to press it harder at times.
Prior to my find, I was having massive keyboard problems, sluggishness, having to press each key multiple times, etc. I was also having similar problems with the touch screen too.
This will not fix a hardware issue (obviously?). But I've found the new factory ROM has made my phone operate almost without flaw... for the first time. Responsive, stable and consistent. I can deal with the "y", I couldn't deal the snetacnes loking lik tihs (sentances looking like this (all the time)), and all the other problems/lock ups, etc.
Dustin
Keyboard problems sound like a hardware issue. You should try to find a local cellphone store that does repairs.
There is one in L.A. that can fix this for under $50.
Keyboard Problems
I found that I was experiencing hardware (keyboard), AND software related issues (keyboard, touch screen, sluggishness, and lock-ups). After installing this ROM all software issues have disappeared. I am very certain of this. One example is that occasionally the keyboard would work almost flawlessly (with the exception of the y key) and other times it was a complete struggle, multiple keypresses to register once, delay, etc. That made it clear to me that I was having software related issues.
I imagine it could have been ROM issues, or software related conflicts, but either way, I have solved my problems. I flashed to the latest HTC ATT Tilt ROM, and the following programs/cabs:

BTW Trjons thanks for your post.
be a hero post all your cabs or links
So, it is heresy you speak! Stock rom! Yeah, I too am sick of the laggy unreliable roms. WAY too much wasted time, energy and effort. Gone back to ATT even though on TMO. How about posting your cabs or links for the lazy ones of us out here?

Also, did you get rid of the AT&T bloatware on yours as well? On a quest for the perfect ROM myself, so I will keep watching the thread for more info.
Would like to see those links as well.
If you want to leave out the ATT bloat ware, after you go through the screen align, do a reset. It will fail to run the script for the **** add ons and then you have basically a virgin rom.
Cab files
Hey lazy people ! Here's a link to all my cabs:
http://rapidshare.com/files/239391014/Cab_Files.rar
I'm somewhat lazy too, so you're going to have to download all of them then pick through to get the ones you want. Enjoy!
Dustin
Thanks
Your're a hero! Thanks for the cabs
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOA! Virus detected "win32/virut" after extracting file then accessing folder with "glossy black bars.exe"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully I've removed the infected file.
I didn't know glossyblackbars.exe had a virus???
Don't need it anyway, I deleted it, recompressed the cab files and re-upped to rapidshare. I edited all my posts with the new zip link.
Please let me know if it's virus free now... so sorry!
Dustin
Thanks so much, Dustin!!! I think I will be loading the AT&T 6.1 ROM again, following your fixes, and praying that my 2-PC ActiveSync problem somehow gets resolved along the way, too. (We need a "crossing fingers" smilie! HA!)
I'm just not looking forward to setting my Tilt up all over again. Must wait until I'm in the mood.
