Hi Guys,
I got my TyTN II last Thursday and at first I was quite frustrated with it thanks to Orange UK putting their terrible homescreen on it.
Since then I have been able to get rid of that. I now have the HTC home screen with a couple of other apps like calendar+ and Batterystatus.
Thanks to this website I am now very happy with my TyTN II... However...
Maybe I need to update a couple of things as it still sometimes runs very slow and when I return to the homescreen it takes a few seconds to load up... Is this normal with WM6? If not, what can I do to tweak it up a bit?
Here is what I'm running at present:
Operator version: 24.181.1.612
ROM version: 1.81.61.2 WWE
ROM date: 09/20/07
Any advice would be much appreciated. Maybe someone should do up a screen with all the best apps, the latest version and a link. That would be very helpful as I think there are some older versions still out for download and it is hard to find the most recent of everything.
Cheers guys.

Looks like the same ROM that was leaked a few days ago. This contains the same Ext ROM that I used to create the Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 T-Mobile UK ROM.
I've not yet tried upgrading the ROM on my UK Vario, but I guess now is the time to think about it. I want to keep my stored SMS and MMS messages, but everything else on the machine I'll probably clean-install and re-tweak as necessary once I get the new ROM flashed. I've got a good idea of what I do and don't want in my Vario after 5 months use, and I guess now would be a great time to get rid of all the junk that's probably clogging up the registry by now.
A couple of questions:
I know I can make a backup copy of the current ROM onto a clean SD card, but can I back it up onto a partially used card (i.e. using the file system, rather than raw data blocks).
I backup my Vario regularly using SPB Backup. Can the SPB Restore utility restore just my SMS/MMS messages (including user-created folders) without reinstalling anything else, so I can keep a nice clean machine?
The UK T-Mobile release is 2.0, whereas "Mr Clean ROM" is 2.3. I'm guessing 2.3 is better, but what am I likely to lose (if anything) that's on the T-Mobile ROM? Is the stereo bluetooth headset facility on both? I've already removed most of the obvious T-Mobile pink stuff, and put in a better dialler skin, etc. In fact, I don't really want T-Mobile's dialler skin at all, as I've been trying to get rid of their modified history & speeddial icons for ages!
Finally, what about reinstalling things like TomTom - will doing so remove my user-defined favourite place settings, etc? (my maps are stored on SD card)
Thanks for any advice, I'm a little nervous here...

^^^ Same questions and concerns for me.
Also, I flashed my T-Mobile UK MDA from original ROM to Qtek 2.17 ROM a month ago. I SIM & CID unlocked it in the process using Lokiwiz 0.2b - do I need to prep the phone with Lokiwiz 0.3 before flashing the MDA to keep it unlocked?
Cheers in advance.

Things I've noticed so far:
1)
The Comms screen has been radically changed, adding a "push" button (deactivated on my uk t-mobile vario for some reason) and another button that looks like a ppc to ppc connection.
2)
The battery icon has moved from the bottom right corner to the top right corner, on the top panel, (where the time used to be) and has turned an ugly shade of green. I presume it goes yellow -> red when on low power.
3)
In the programs, something called "SAP Settings" has been added.
It's used for remote sim access apparently.
4)
"Running Programs" is now a program and can be seen on the start menu
6)
"Comm manager is now a program that appears on the "running programs" list.
5)
When starting up, it displays the t-mobile screen followed by the WINDOWS MOBILE screen instead of just the t-mobile screen.
Finally, this could because of a cleaner registry and stuff, but it does feel somewhat more efficient.
So would the early adopters say it is better or worse than the mighty summiter/Mr Clean (Uk) versions

Right now I like the Mr Clean version better, but I only had that on for a weekend and the new one has only been on for an hour or so.
Personally after a day with it I'm tempted to go back to the qtek 2.17 rom
Hi can someone post up the MMS settings as I didn't note them down when I updated the rom - doh! UK of course.

Thats interesting.... Im using a Qtek 2.17 ROM at the moment and am considering upgrading, but Im holding back at the moment. What dont you like?
Bad news here. I've been running the Mr Clean Comes to London ROM for a few days with no problems at all and before that one of the Qtek ones and the unit never reset itself which it had ben doing with the T-Mobile ROM from the start of the year. I am happy with the performance of the new T-Mobile ROM after installing it yesterday but overnight it went back to soft resetting itself as all of my open programs were shut down this morning. Also when I turned it on the screen wasn't responding so I ended up doing another reset.
I'll leave it over the weekend but it looks like the spontaneous reset problem hasn't been resolved. Strange that T-Mobile can't fix that but all the other ROMs seem to have it licked!

Of course it could be something T-Mobile has put in that's causing it. I'm thinking Mr Clean is the way to go...

Hi,
I've been using this forum for a while but think this is my first ever post!
I've been having problems with the search function today so decided its going to be quicker if someone can help me out.
I've never updated the rom on my wizard (which was on o2 but i unlocked and usign t-mobile uk sim now) though as im using push email the not vibrating when on standby thing is starting to piss me off.
Question is which rom do i need to fix that standby problem?
currently mine is on
rom version: 2.21.4.1 WWE
date 3/9/06
radio version 02.07.10
protocol version 413.1.03
extrom version 2.21.4.101
bit of a begginer with this so not sure if its g3 or g4 :S
thanks for any help
You can use my Molski.Biz roms.
Never heard that someone that uses my Rom has the same problem like you.
Regards,
Molski
have you tried going to settings, sounds and notifications, then tick the notifications tab at the bottom, under Event choose Messaging: New Email message then tick the option for vibrate?
dont know if this works while in standby or not, but know the option is there and turned off by default
yeah its set to make a sound and vibrate etc... which it does when its on, just in stand by it doesnt do it.
Heard about the problem before tbh which is how i know its a romproblem.
Just downloaded the t-mobile usa rom which imgonna give a blast, nothing to loose i guess
ahh had a go late last night and learned a few more things which if id spent longer reading the forum id have found out lol.
Right my phones a G4 and was an o2 uk phone.
First problem was it seems impossible to update a rom in vista as when it goes into bootloader mode vista disconnects from the phone. had a go with xp and got further.
Next problem is seems I can only use o2 uk roms presumably due to it being CID locked which am i right in thinking you have to pay to unlock?
Sooo if I want a nice new rom am I right in thinking im buggered? lol
Hello,
I flashed a T-Mobile MDA Vario III with HTC latest official rom (WM 6.1) and now screen rotation on slide out / in is much slower. Sometimes it takes up to 4 seconds.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Craig Brass
I can't really point to a solution with the ROM you're using; in fact I'd be willing to guess that it's just a side-effect of that particular ROM - I don't imagine the Radio ROM in your device not being best-suited for the OS ROM would deliver slow screen rotation as a side-effect.
All I can say is that I recently flashed to AthineOS and EVERYTHING is quick on it. Screen rotation when sliding occurs within a second I'd say - it might be slightly over a second, I haven't timed it, but either way it's very quick, and quicker than the T-Mobile WM6.0 ROM...
Anyway, hope you get it sorted... Let us know if you find a solution for your current ROM.
Regards,
Rob.
T-Mobile considerations
I seem to recall HTCs fix for this in their HTC Branded WM 6.1 'upgrade' involved more than just the ROM but if the radio and spl are going to be upgraded as well, people need to make sure there are backups of the originals first because in some countries (and Craig didn't say where he's from or fill in that part of his profile), T-Mobile use customised versions and special network configuration. Perhaps a T-Mobile customer can comment whats reqd from experience? I haven't tried searching but I suspect that'd pull something relevant up as well.
Ok, I flashed with AthineOS as suggested. Nearly perfect. Couple of things :-
1. I flashed the official dialer for the voice calling. Before, when launched, it would show Contacts as the left button. Now it shows Hide Keypad. How do I get it to show Contacts again?
2. TouchFlo 3D shows the calender list but when clicked it launches the default phone calender app. I have Developer One Agenda One Installed and I want it to launch this. How do I do that?
Hey there guys, i just recently found this forum and i'm loving it!
i found things that i didn't imagined that could be possible with my p3600.
so the thing is, i've a htc p3600 (bought in jan 2007) and quite frankly i like the phone alot. recently i saw a htc diamond with touchflo and everything else and i started to think that i should swap phones...until.......... i discovered xda-developers!!
i would really love to update my p3600 (currently on wm5) to a newer wm...with touchflo if possible.
my native language is portuguese, but if the best rom out there is english i don't mind..i just want this baby looking good
so i saw there are alot of roms avaiable... can you guys give me some advice on which one should i choose?
also, anything that i should be aware of before flashing my rom?
to flash my rom i only have to plug it (usb) and run the file... right?
would love some help.
thanks in advance,
so guys, i digged a bit myself and i ended up upgrading the radio to the latest version and installing "Karmba_a_Diamond_Blue_For_Trinity_v_Last"
i like this rom ... but there are a few bugs on it, for example sometimes when people call me i can't see who's calling (specially if the phone is on energy saver with the screen turned off) ... when it comes back on the screen starts flashing and i cant see who's calling... so my question is, can anyone advice me a sweet rom for me to use?
thanks again,
I am by any standards a complete noob at the whole rom flashing thing but here are the files i used.
[P3600i]_HardSPL_v1.1
HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1
[P3600i]_Radio_v1.56.70.11
and finally rom WM 6.1.0.4.5.0 Home
it all seems to work well with the only prob so far being occasional memory issues when i run Opera or Inturdnet Explorer.
Hope this helps
Smiffy
Any news on your upgrad
Hi,
I have the same prob, i want to upgrade my P3600 from WM5 to 6 or even 6.1, i upgraded the rom on HTC's website which is a waste of time because i am still left with WM5 on the phone, whats the point of that HTC? anyway i would appreciate any help

My sister have an HTC Touch Diamond. It was locked by Vodafone, but this is unlocked still by me.
The LCD of phone is very strange. After few days from a new ROM installing (firstly is perfect), I can use hardly the touching. When I touch the "A" point, the phone perceives the "B" point. Rarely help me the LCD calibration, a period of time it work, but after a while it goes wrong again.
I try more ROMs, but it was same by all. The LCD-touching work fine, but after few days, goes wrong.
Thanks forward for anything type of help!
AT PRESENT:
Windows Mobile 6.5 CE OS 5.2.21907 (Build 21907.5.0.93), but it was on phone 6.1 too yet.
ROM version: Basics WWE (from XDA)
Rom date: 11/02/09
Radio version: 1.00.25.05
Protocol version: 52.29.25.12W_1.00.25.05

maybe you can try using the G-Sensor Calibration! you can look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430070
Try going back to 6.1 !
Diamond has known issues with the 6.5 , because the headset is old and oftenly does rage when sees a new OS (a far better one than the once had...)
If this still doesnt work , my option is this. Buy a new touchscreen. It`s a sad option , but desperate times require desperate measures.
Wait for other replies , dont go THAT harsh on your headset just yet...
