hi guys, im getting a brand new X1 today, and i need some sugestions i have been looking the forums and i have some questions:
i used and iphone for 2 years(i have xperience unlocking and jailbreaking the iphone), then an e71 and a blackberry 8310. this is my first winmo device and im clueless ( i saw a hardslp video).
- manila and tf3d is the same thing?
- what is exactly a hardslp? i understand that before flashing it i need to do that first.
- in order to have TF3D i need to do a full flash? or is just an addon?
- i have seen the winmo 6.5 roms should i upgrade?
- i need pptp suport,RDP client, navite Voip and internet tethering, all this solutions are included?
thx for any help in advance.
Don't get the X1... the X2 and the HTC Touch Pro2 is out.... what are you smoking?
i live in mexico, and i cannot get those phones!
You can get the Touch Pro 2 in Mercado Libre.. I'm from Mexico, and if you can live without D-Pad... Touch Pro 2 is the one for you. (that's the one I will replace my X1 with.. but I love the D-Pad Functionality)
Get the X1, it's a great phone.
And has hardware controls, TP 2 doesn't and it sucks.
As for your questions, what I know:
To have WM 6.5 you need to use custom ROM.
Mind it's unofficial so you know - there can be some bugs and things
nobody knows about...
TF3d is probably an add on.
Me personally - I tried it and for me it's more of a gimmick,
not really functional.
I prefer SE panels.....
But it's personal.
TP2 sucks. TF3D is ugly as hell. WinMo 6.5 is buggy and unofficial.
Get the X1. Install the official R3A ROM, if you are not happy, you can always try a custom ROM. After you are happy with that, you can start hunting for apps.
Don't forget - iPhail is a feature phone at best, but the X1 is a pocket computer.
For the first three question you should read the info in the ROM section of the forum. You have to do some reading and understand it all, before trying to flash. Second hand knowlwdge is as bas as no knowledge.
You can get EVERYTHING you might need with apps, if it is not supported from the box.
lol why do you guys say the TP2 suck?

Hi guys,i'm new to the forum and have just last week bought an HTC Tytn II,it was box stock and is in excellent condish,i've already flashed it once with the upgrade from V.6.0 to 6.1 via the HTC support site.
The question i'm wanting an answer to is,which is the easiest or best version of WinMo 6.5 to use to update my device,the UI looks so much better than it is currently,I like it as is but would love a more modern look,I tried a Vista theme that has been released but it wont run right,the only theme type software i've managed to get to work is S2U2 which works flawlessly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,i'm pretty new to ROM flashing but am familiar with WM smartphones after owning them since the SPV E200 but only just started to experiment with the OS.Once again,thanx in advance..
Mr Terminator aka Carl....
We can't tell you what is best (and asking is against forum rules), go have a look in the rom dev forum and see what tickles your fancy.
Thanks for the input fella,i'll go have a gander and see whats what.Cheers...
The PDA Corner latest version is probably one of the better options.
It really is a case of "sucking & see" so worth doing a fair bit of searching & reading.
Hi all,
I know we've got some great cooks here, and so I'm hoping one of them will help! I have been playing with ROMs since I got my Tilt2 (ATT) and I have been pretty happy with some of them, yet still not quite completely satisfied. Some come close to what I want, but all seem somewhat finicky with my ATT phone (my wife has refused to let me play with her Verizon Touch Pro 2, something about me breaking it
For me, the holy grail of ROMs for this phone would be:
A fast, Manila 2.5+, Windows 6.5 (or 6.5.3, if its rock solid) ROM with no frills or cooked in software.
A simple user interface, something normal but snazzy looking. If it could be like the original Verizon one that'd be awesome, if not the normal HTC would be fine.
Basically, I want a stripped down speedy version of the normal HTC look, but haven't been able to find it. I MIGHT be able to learn how to cook my own, but cannot currently spare the time as I'm in grad school.
If anyone could help, that would be AWESOME!
if u dontmind trying... try DA_G rom... its built for AT&T so your keyboard will work just fine its 28206 built and lite... alot of rom and ram space... no manila 2.5 so i was using SPB mobile Shell Pro...
The touch screen of my Kaiser died and I've been using it like a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard device for months, with the stock HTC Hong Kong ROM. All the custom ROMs I could find could not skip the screen calibration screen.
Recently I bought a Toshiba TG01 and now I'm busy exploring and playing with all the WVGA apps and games I've been missing out. It's an underrated device because of Toshiba's crappy ROMs and the previous lack of custom ROMs. I feel I should contribute to the Windows Mobile scene by learning how to cook ROMs and cook some nice ROMs for TG01. And maybe try to port Android to it (I found a success story of porting Android to Asus P535 with complete instructions for Android-porting newbies)
One day when I fix my Kaiser, I'll be back and cook some ROMs for it too. And maybe I'll physically mod it to look like a more modern device
Thanks to everyone who helped me out when I had problems with my Kaiser, and all the cooks still keeping Kaiser alive
Hello,
I got my first windows mobile device Diamond2 as a gift today and looking for a good OS here.
Can you please suggest one for me?
I will also download some from ROM page and try.
Do not forget to look into the WiKi before asking a question
Taken from the WiKi
Shipped ROMs for Topaz
Cooked ROMs for Topaz
Radio ROMs for Topaz
Success,
Senax
Thanks friend for reply.
I was just reading the WiKi page and seen all those.... but I am confused what ROM I should select SO looking for a generic feedback on what is good what is bad.
Actually I dont want ROM to be loaded with so many app. Looking for similar to what I have in mobile now but updated version...
I hope your device has latest Official ROM installed.
You will get all custom ROMs here which are mainly modify version of the Official ROM and has latest SYS/Builds and new Packages (new applications like adobe reader).
These ROMs are good, but NOT all ROM will satisfy every one. i.e ROM1 may good for person1 and person 4, but person 2 and 3 may like ROM2.
So it is good to test all available food and decide which dish tests you a lot .
Hope this will help.
Thanks.
With all the respect to your very correct and right answer (prabhat), this is in my opinion, very first and tha main problem, why the more and more people will switch to devileshed i-phone. The main difference betwen i-phone and wm 6.5 dev. is the "user-friendly" parameter. In no discuss, the wm 6.5 is more professional with more the features then the i-phone. But the people would like tu use the phone with satisfaction and enjoyness. Maybe the right answer for TD2IN will be something from you honest opinion, what do YOU think, that will be best solution for him/her. The ROM, which is stable, fast, simple, user friendly. The people need some help ... Have a nice day.
Here is my answer

Here is my answer, i has been using Stock, Energy Standard and now i switch to "eclipse Version 7 (Updated)"
The eclipse looks to me very close to the Stock and fastest with few useful Apps.
I amalso looking for a ROM here and new here.

Hey I am also new here but managed to get my ROM here
I tried several available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cooked_ROMs_for_Topaz but atlast I am using Photon ROM and I am happy.
You may not like the same, but you need to atleast try 3-4 and select one that suite your usage/style etc.
I liked Dutty's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
And Photon ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943396
As Dutty is not updating and Photon ha much stable and good so I am using that.
PIng me if you need more help.
Thanks for the reply friend.
I will start my process tonight and let you all know how it goes...
thank you

Did you get your ROM ?
I am still in the process to find my cup of tea...
I started with Dutty's ROM... but this has old version... so started picking others.
Now I have tested below softwares but yet to finilise one:
1) Energy ROM - The Energy Standard one
2) CR192 Mozart OS
3) Photon ROM OS - Stock edition one
I like the stock rom apprach of photon and energy, but energy has lots of application pre installed which I dont want. If I see CR192 that is also very good pick. So I am looking at battery life now and should be finilise in 2 -3 days.
thanks
energy roms and photon roms are great...
Energy ROM FTW
I tried a few ROMs with my Topaz and settled at Energy ROM (with start menu at top).
I used to install a load of stuff with each ROM and this was the most complete ROM with the most flexible Sense UI. The only 2 apps I needed to install on top of Energy is Skype and TomTom Navigator.
I like that it has the manual rotate programmed on holding the Answer button (I used to install a keyboard extender to do it before using Energy ROMs) so it can manually rotate apps not built for auto rotate like Tomtom. More importantly, I can turn off auto rotate on apps coz often I don't want auto rotate like when Im lying on couch/bed reading or using it for music. Fark I hate the UI rotating when I dont want it to! I find auto rotate an annoying gimmick made popular by Apple. Just gimme manual rotate, thx.
I prefer Resco Explorer to Total Commander but I havent bothered to install Resco and live fine with Total Commander that comes with the Energy ROM. I understand that Resco is not freeware so they can't include it.
I like that all the JAVA and DOTNET stuff is all done, has a good wireless hotspot app already, Opera with max tabs set for more than 2 already, TCPMP media player working well, RSS feed app, Twitter, Stocks tab .... I could go on and on. It pretty much has all the good freeware and tweaks and all the hard work already done for you.
I don't use my Topaz daily now, but I still use the same version of Energy ROM on my Blackstone (Touch HD) as my personal mobile phone. I used to also carry the Topaz with a data only SIM in it for internet access, but now I use a Dell Streak (android) to do that. Yeh Im crazy I carry TWO phones everywhere!
IF you wanna get up and going right out of the box, Energy ROM is the most complete and ready for the Topaz.
Instead I Liked Photon ROM and CR192 Mozart and currently running with Photon UX Edition.
I liked Energy, but that is toooooo bulky with so many applications which I dont require and to me looks ugly on my device and I can not remove those. In case of Photon ROM I dont have any extra stuffs so I can Install what I need not what some one gives me to use, whihc I dont require. I understand that there are many who may like what is given on the ROM that they use... but I like to have my stuff in my device.
Photon UX - plus Chinese support + handwriting ftw!
I've tried many ROMs in search of a better replacement for my TD2's sluggish official ROM (SEA version), and I've fallen in love with Photon UX edition and its professional looking background art.
Even better, I have managed to install Xyam's East Asian fonts support, Guobi for pinyin and character inputs, and Samsung's simple + traditional Chinese handwriting input V3.0 (my version comes from sanxingshouxieshurufa_8313 and fits the screen perfectly). Don't bother trying out the menu icon for the Samsung input though, the options don't work, only full screen handwriting is enabled. Otherwise, everything works perfectly as far as I can tell!
Thank you all for this thread which gave me a basic idea of what rom software I should download. I will download Photon ROM now... need to findout which edition I need there
Thank you all.
I have couple of questions in Photon ROM while downloading different edition of it... but this forum prevent me to post in the photon thread. Do I need to contact the owner of photon rom for this?
Thank you all.
