Why load a new rom???

Hello,
My ex-boyfriend left me his phone (QTEK9100) and I have really enjoyed using it. I have read here that it seems very popular to reinstall something called the K-JAM rom- why do you do this?? What are the benefits?
thank you everyone,
xx

In your case, you would notice improved bluettoth performance. Also I personally find the k jam rom a slight bit more stable and I know it lets you use wifi g. Besides I do it because I can. It is nice to play, not so nice if all goes wrong. Especially when I let my wife know I am buying new phone.

I am due for an upgrade tomorrow!

Its 18 months or so since I joined this forum, and it was because of my new MDA Vario II.
I'm now due for an upgrade, and there is only one phone I want - the III.
So, tell me - what should I do? I'm so confused and disapointed. I use my Vario II to stream YouTube video and surf the web, and from what I've seen, the III isn't up to it.
Please tell me I'm wrong and I should call for my upgrade tomorrow !!!!

Get the kaiser

Seriously, do you want to buy mine off me / swap? T-mobile branded, but you can flash / do what you like with it.
I really can't use it as an everyday phone. On another forum (hexus.net) the guy said simply - it's not a phone as such. It's a tool for techs / devs or whatever who need the extra functions. But for a phone it lacks in many usability ways that your average nokia / SE / samsung does not. It's a shame really, the device has so much potential to be awesome, it's completely the software side of things that lets it down.
It has dropped a fair few useful features from WM5 / earlier versions too - like having a t9 text input rather than a touchscreen keyboard. Now you *have* to get the stylus out if you want to send a quick message without altering from portrait to landscape to use the hard keyboard, which takes around 2 - 3 seconds anyway for the hardware to redraw it.

Looks like HTC are working on the vids driver issue. Someone has suggested a patch in feb/march. Have a read of some of the posts on it.
take the plunge. get one.

Yea I read that. But also read a post saying that there is no driver due for release since there is no ATI Imageon hardware built in to have drivers for. Who knows? There comes a point where you need to say you've had a product that hasn't delivered what you expected for long enough. However, it is full of features so maybe a good choice. But if I was buying right now with the knowledge I have now I'd probably not get a smart phone but something nice and simple that could perfectly perform the duties I wanted it to
So short answer: it's up to you

Thanks for that feedback guys. I'm pretty use to my MDA and its functionality, even though making a call can be sometimes difficult.
So, is video playback as bad as is mentioned?
Also, I use voice dialing and the hands-free speaker. Are these functions on the III?
cheers guys,
Ratzz

I watch youtube on mine all the time. I think it is just fine. I have been using the Kaiser now for 5 months and I love it and would not make another choice.

kaiser really is something
Yes those feature are in it out of the box. U should get one. All in all, it is the best pda out yet. I personally love mine, and with the right rom u can make it fly. It doesnt have problems with any 320X240 video, and with the new coreplayer 1.1.3 not even with bigger ones so get it. It's a great pda phone!

Speaking of the right ROM, which is the right ROM.
I never flashed my Vario II, but have been reading a bit about it.
Can anyone point me to the right thread for a first timer?

The Vario II is the HTC Hermes. Have a look here at the upgrading forum. There are some stickies on HardSPL, which you must follow before upgrading the ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306

It's on a stickie at the top

Reports are that it only really works reasonably well if it is cooked into a rom. Try L26 or Anril´s roms that are in the ROMs section.
If you use the former you´ll need to install an excellent little tool by JeckyllHyde called TF3D Standby, which will ensure your phone can enter standby (the drivers needed for TF3D to work prevents this).

Heh heh, that's my video. balleklorin75 is correct, however I am using MBarvian's Solace ROM and have TF3D installed on it. I do use TF3D Standby, as well. Otherwise the phone goes batty when you try and put it into standby.

I don't use MSN. I'll see if I have the .cab laying around somewhere on my laptop, along with the .cabs for the music and album. It's not really ready for everyday use, but it's fun to play with.

It's a bit laggy. That said, if we could get around the standby issue I'd use it as my default interface. I don't because it's so annoying to have to turn it off and on along with the phone, everytime.

You're probably better off going that route, as Manila 2D is much faster and easier to manipulate, just not as flashy.
TF3D was never really ready for prime time, it was just fun to fiddle with; but if you want, I'll find the cabs that you'd need for it. It is fun to turn off M2D and fire up TF3D every now and again just to show it off to someone, but it can't be reliably used as an everyday interface.

some help please!!! i don't know what to do...
hello my name is rui i'm from Portugal and i've a htc kaiser. i'm would love to put my kaiser working like a iphone and if possible with touchflo 3d like that video on youtube from dzelaya18, nice video by the way. i've made several downloads but i can't put them work in my kaiser. can someone please help me? please send me some links and tell me the way to install it on my phone. thank's.

Check out this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337898 for software recommendations from other XDA members, however it depends on how you use your phone...gamming, business, video, music etc.......Also like dzelaya18 said in the post above yours, touchflo 3d is still being developed (i think) and requires a reset several times a day and is still very laggy...I would reframe from using it and go with Touchflo2....it is very nice and is included on almost every Rom in the Rom section...go there..I use Hyperdragon and PDA, both are good....
@dzelaya18 see what you started with your youtube video...ur famous...LOL...

Touch flo 3d for tilt
hope fully you should get it here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser..........................

I was running the L26 ROM (which has touchflo3d built in) and I think that its good enough to use on a daily basis. Just so long as you remap the ptt button to toggle manilla on or off. I wouldn't use touchflo3D as a cab because I think that is too slow for everyday use. Well anyways if you wana try the ROM out for yourself its right here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436446

I have just added TouchFlo 3D to my AT&T Tilt... If you are interested i can show you how. i have all the files to help you flash the rom onto your phone.

^^ i'd would like to know how you installed 3d

please post link!
will sum1 PLEASE post a link for touchflo 3d/2d? PLEASE!?!?

Just SEARCH, the links are here on XDA! This is not a kindergarten classroom.
And no need to revive an ancient thread!

This covers the HTC5800, yeah?

What can I do with this phone other then what it does out of the box?
Theres so little information and work I can find on it.

hey buddy,
there isnt alot of things that can be done with the phone right now.. which company do u have it from?
the first would be App Unlock your phone to be able to install applications .. jsut search on google "app unlock S620" and follow that procedure...
I have a wm6.0 running so i have a couple of skins and stuff installed... most of the stuff that can work on the Vox Forums can work on libra as well. besides the roms ofcourse.
if you got any other questions holla for sure... i know it was a pain for me to find any information on the phone!

surprised me too! the poor phone still doesn't have enough ram and is missing wifi, otherwise it would be perfect.

I just picked up one of these phones yesterday and am still getting used to not having a touch screen. If I'm not mistaken this phone does have the GPS. What's the process for getting it to work with Google Maps, etc?
Thanks

no this phone doesnt have gps....
it has the processor which is needed to have gps... but apparently it doesnt work with any company...
iv looked around for a fix .. but no one has found out one...
and 5800 doesnt have wifi built in either

Camera is only Black

I changed to WM 6.5 last night. I had the AT&T 6.1 rom before.
With both ROMs, my camera is just black. Doesn't show anything at all (not even darkly.
Any ideas? It's probably not software if it doesn't change when I update the ROM right?
I don't care for 6.5 much, so I'm going to try another 6.1 rom in a minute...
Thanks

Your radio ROM is incorrect for whatever hardware/ROM revision you are using. Experiment around with different radios until you get one that allows your camera to work.

Nice of you to search for the oldest problem out there.

Thanks for the advice. I'll just assume in the future that if I search and find nothing, that I must have used the wrong terms, and shouldn't bother asking in the future. Glad you saved me.
I did search. Now, when I searched "radio rom camera problem" (after the 1st response) I got tons of hits. When I searched "8925 camera is black only" I got nothing relevant. It's new to me.

Well, oddly enough, I encountered a much more serious problem with the ROM I was using, so I went back to 6.1 (I don't like 6.5 for some reason)
After loading the AT&T 6.1 rom, the camera works...

Thats because the ATT ROM has an included radio, which evidentally is one that works with your hardware revision and enables the camera.

Ok- So Radio rom can be flashed with or without the OS rom? Good to know.
The radio rom has to match the hardware? Or the OS?
I'd like to give the WM6.5 rom another try, if I can get everything to work

A couple years late to the Kaiser party, but I still love my Kaiser and it my not be as flashy and my be a tick slower and may not have the spacious screen that the HD2 has, but with a custom rom and a little tweaking, it does everything An HD2 does, and I love my keyboard.
Windows Mobile isn't dead, it was just taking a long vacation while Steve and Bill and the others were playing the " fat cat " billionaire roles to the hilt while the company went down the toilet.
Hopefully Windows Phone 7 series is the start of a resurgence that will integrate Windows, Windows Mobile, Zune OS and XBox into a fully integrated powerhouse, before it is too late.
Maybe Apple overtaking them is exactly what they need.

It was also on the rom flashing tutorial
7. After I flash a Rom I dont have any sound in calls and the camera is black
The Radio has to match the version of Rom you flash i.e. WM6.1, an incorrect Radio will give sound and camera problems. Read The Ultimate Radio Thread to find a Radio that matches the Rom there are lots to try on there if one doesnt work then try another.
