hey guys im new to Windows Mobile in general but specifically the Touch Diamond i've updated the bootloader and firmware to a custom one allready.. i need some help..
im after a speedy firmware which doesn't loose the asthetic look of the touch diamond im also after some sort of mod which allows me to use the horizontal full qwerty keyboard for sms can anyone help me out here or even tell me if these are possible? cheers
You can use GSen or Gyrator to rotate the screen in all apps rather than just album and Opera and then you can use the horizontal keyboard for messaging. Just search for them. Can't help you with firmware recommendations, I'm using the standard one.
hey mate i have gsen but it doesn't seem to work in the sms app... only in the original wm6 menu's
That's odd, I just ran GSen and checked, it works for me in the messaging app. It's definitely running? There should be a single white pixel in the system tray up the top. Try opening GSen CFG and then using edit > restore to default. If that doesn't work you might want to try posting in the GSen thread, I'm sure there'd be one somewhere.
hey guys just installed gyrator and it fixed it up, now i just need some advice on the rom i find it shocking just running touch flo takes over half the systems memory
Try Shaks ROM, it retains the standard TF3D looks with useful added apps and is as stable as any ROM is gonna get.
For all you swedish people that has not yett gotten this to work on WWE roms heres how i got it to work. I was so happy and as i seen no one has yett to post a good explination on how to get BOTH t9 and hardware to work. So here is how. If you follow this list YOU WILL get it to work. AND DO EXACLY as i tell you.
1. Download the latest Nrg rom 2.0 It has the new Manilla and i myself think Nrg does a great work with hes roms. Keeping them upp to date and good speed.
Install this rom then continue to next chapter
2. Download the lang pack so that you can get full swedish support on all menus and so on so forth.
http://xboxmod.totalgamer.org/release/additionnal_language.cab
or from the new manilla thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
3. On your phone Press start then go to Programs / Utilities then run the Keyboard selector program. choose Htc Keyboard.
4. Download the
[APP] Scandinavian KB Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496876&highlight=swedish
Install and run this program. when its upp Select Norwegian. NOT swedish. Restart the Phone and you will be able to type åäö using your hardware keyboard.
5. now open the registry editor and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
and put in on "CurLang"=41D
this will make whole meny swedish
6. now to make your t9 swedish WITHOUT crewing upp your Hardware keyboard.
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121
And download that cab and install it to your phone.
When done go to the T9 config and select swedish.
You have now a phone with full swedish config and a good new rom.
Hope you enjoy this and are as happy as i were when i got this working.

Nice Work jimmyhawkin!
One Question ... Does this change the complete system to Swedish or Manila only?
Mvh
HueMann i Skåne
Well manila only for this one but i guess the only thing left to do is change region setting to swedish and you have all fixed
Note that with the Nrg rom and the new manila you hardly ever see anything but the manila shell. Depends on what you work with. but for normal uses you hardly ever see anything but manila.
But if you want to go even further then i deskribe change the region setting to swedish.
May I ask why my posts were deleted?
I think they have a rule here that only "members" with 1000 posts or more can post..... I've also noticed my posts being removed or Moved to the "Don't Ask Questions!" Thread as well...
This is amazing
Thanks alot, Jimmy!
I'm actually really satisfied with this ROM, and the manilla is just amazing.
Together with this Swedish pack, it's perfekt, if you don't think about the small manilla bugs, which will probably be fixed by the Xboxmod people.
Huge thanks!
One thing, though; is there any way to make the whole WM6.1 Swedish?
Google is your friend But i search this time for you.
As it seems sins this rom has a English windows mobile installed. Swedish is not included. So you will have to live without that.
But if you ask me its a small price 2 pay sins its not verry often you digg down that deep in to the system. Normal days use your in Manilla all the time.
So sorry swedish in windows is not possible. But if you want a fast rom with the new manilla this is the way to go. If you want a rom that totaly swedish and frankly made me nuts sins its so slow and ****ty. well then you use the rom icluded on the phone or a shedish rom that can be downloaded here on the forums. but thats the same as the one that comes with the phone.
cant get it to work
i did as you sayd and åäö doesnt function wat to do ?

If som one got a hand on the program that are under the brooken link and can put in this thread as an Attached Files, it would be nice. it looks like several people have the same problems wihte the HW Keyboard.

Now every button's with FN+ funktion works like they should work.
Does this work with the latest NRG ROM? With Manila 2.5 Max sense?

Yes,you are wrong,wm 6.5 support S730 witch Rom is 256Mb(not Ram).if Rom is 128MB,Pls don`t upgrade it.
I'm the author of this 6.5 ROM.
hi ccwav
i am a fan of your roms from ioicn (i cannot understand chinese anyway)
nice to see you here
Welcome!
I was surfing ioicn.com.cn and I saw there some posts about WM 6.5 for S730 but I can't speak Chinese and all I could do was register and then search the posts. But I couldn't understand if there was any English ROM. Anyone able to help?
the rom build by ccwav is chinese and english, but it is incomplete (file explorer, bt and many other features are still in chinese) anyway it is a nice and cool rom.
I downloaded this ROM that nhatientri mentioned, cooked it without making any modifications and it installed flawlessly. It is in English totally but no Bluetooth at all, this is the first thing I spotted. Let me check if there are other bugs.
BTW, anyway to get the bluetooth back?

Well, I speak Italian, Greek, English, Albanian and some Turkish and French. If you know any of the following languages, I am ready to help you bring it in English.
As for my yesterday's test on HTC S730 with the 6.5 ROM, I decided to go back to 6.1 until next convincing ROM.

i saw it this morning... and now i'm going to test it
but
i'll be very happy if you could cook a rom with 256MB ROM size and without AGPS/GPS features (the western wings haven't gps but have more rom size)
anyway thank you for the up, i'm running to try it
Dear friends, I downloaded the ROM from the link here http://www.ioicn.com.cn/forum/viewthread.php?tid=358850&extra=&page=1 and don't ask me how I registered, I don't know Chinese and I worked a lot with google translation. The forum couldn't log you in through google translator. Anyhow, long story short, I downloaded the chinese 6.5 ROM and I am amazed. The home screen is fantastic and i could change the language from Chinese to English through the settings. There are still programs and items in Chinese but it's not a big deal. You can find the english versions of the programs on line.
I am going to play with that a little bit now. I'll write later if I find any bug or whatever.
are you able to dump/edit/modify/repack that rom? maybe removing agps ? i have tried several times but i am a dumb ^^
Nope, I'm sorry. I don't know how to do it. I renamed every Chinese filename in English and downloaded the English versions of some of the programs.
Until now, from what I see I can say the following:
1. Bluetooth Manager is in Chinese, I'll try to push some English version from my other HTC Vox WM 6.5 if possible.
2. Internet Explorer is for touch screen models I guess. Very difficult for me to operate it like this. I think I will try Opera or whatever for a change.
3. There is File Explorer in English but somehow, the cooker decided to put the shortuct of Resco Explorer only in the menu, which is in Chinese by the way.
4. GPS seems to work but I can't get more than 1 satellite everywhere I try.
5. Quick GPS tries to download data but nothing downloads even on WiFi or over ActiveSync.
6. Homescreen of T-Mobile looks very cool, I like it a lot
7. A lot of tweaks in Chinese, hieroglyphs to me
I will see if I spot anything else. Nevertheless, the ROM is OK, I didn't regret the update (yet).
allright, nevermind...
i have solved some issues (in an arranged way)
2 if you use JZSmartMort you can set (in the browser options) the "OLD VERSION" of IE , it's work but is still slow imo
3 install your own resco explorer or make a new link to the "original file explorer" than replace with the older one (chinese resco)
4-5 i think that one satellite is few for connect to a AGPS so agps/gps feature is useless (if don't have the gps version of wings) (can't try with an external receiver, for now, at my home there are no signal at all)
6-7 the last foledr in start menu conteins some extra tweak, like different layout for menu (glossy bars and selections, the third is PINK!), a selector for different tshres.dll (icons in the iconbar, my favotite is #8), a selector between the 6.1 and 6.5 home layout (maybe with delicacy homescreen) and a selector for the dialer pad (first, grey htc, second blue...)
how much RAM free you get at the boot? and after some while?
br
Also, I can't find Java. It looks it is not integrated or smth. I don't use it anyways, just wanted to try Opera Mini....
Well, I have it loaded up with programs so I don't know if the readings are accurate. Anyways, where do I check the free RAM?
Hi everyone,
my HTC Diamond1, which I've had since release, have now died. When looking for a new phone, the TD2 is currently number one on the list (unfortunately I think the HD2 is too big).
I am a little hesitant to buy a phone which was released almost a year ago. And essentially all the reviews of it is phones with release ROM versions, making it hard to evaluate the current state of the TD2. Now with 2.53 ROM versions officially released, I wonder what the current status of the phone is?
How does the new ROM perform; I love the new Sense version, but does it perform adequately (remember I'm used to TD1 performance...)?
What have changed since the introduction of WM6.5; does battery perform badly now? Better to stick with 6.1?
Are current owners generally happy, or do you think I'm stupid to buy the TD2 instead of perhaps the HD2?
Would be immensely grateful for any input and help to solve my decision agony!
Thanks!
Strong buy
Very happy with my TD2 for almost a year. Used cooked rom of 2.53 and will install official one today. Go and buy it. You will not regret. Keeping in mind expectations differs.
Cheers,
Hi!

The reg key is under HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila => "RSK path and text" but I have found that manila RSK is not configurable in 6.5 even if you tweak the regisrty.
2.53 rom update australia
Hi everyone,
I noticed that HTC didnt release a 2.53 Sense UI ROM for Australia, Does anyone know if its possible to run something like the UK WWE:2.53 rom on an Australian Touch Diamond 2 without issue? Will it even work?
The other issue is that my serial number wont allow me to download anything from w w w.htc.com/uk anyway.
Thanks.

ROM update Australia
kobralabs,
You can download the new ROM update with a random UK serial number like "ht968l100040". It is just to make sure that you are downloading the correct file in your language. If you are OK with the English ROM with Manila 2.53, just download and enjoy it. I did the same thing and enjoying the new Manila.
thanks mehmetkoksal,
I might also download the previous version offical htc australia rom, just in case. Do I need to run something like HARDSPL first in order for the UK ROM to work on an australian htc diamond 2? Oh, btw, what region is your phone?
Thanks
Re-ROM Update Australia
kobralabs,
My phone is from Turkey. Therefore with my original serial number I was not able to download any update even the 6.5 for a long time. Therefore I used a UK serial and downloaded the WWE update. But my Vodafone original ROM did not allow me to update the ROM therefore I hardspled the phone with attached program which unchained my ROM from Vodafone and then I was able to update to new ROM.
Thanks for that mehmetkoksal. I have downloaded the WorldWide English ROM and the linked HARDSPL and will try updating my phone tomorrow. Hopefully Manila 2.5 is not to slow.
Just Flashed the New 2.53 Rom - Problem
Hello I have just flashed to HTC's new rom for the topaz with manilla 2.5, I think it is a great rom and a vast improvement over the 2.1 version.
However the programs icon from the top right of the screen has disappeared from this version, so there is no easy way to shut down programs without going into task manager.
Any suggestions or does anyone have the program as a separate cab to install it.
Regards
Colin Williamson
There is a cab in the Leo forums which brings back the taskmanager in the upper right corner, have a look there.
This one should work, but none of them play well with 6.5.3 because of the drop down menu.

Is your TD2 a T5362 UMTS 850/2100 (Telstra)?
Can anyone comment as to whether the HTC stock WWE 2.53 would be compatible w. the UMTS 850/2100 radio? It would be good to be entirely free of the Telstra modifications.

Predictive text display problem in XT9 mode with new ROM 2.53
Hi
Question for anyone running the new 2.53 ROM recently made available by. HTC
Just upgraded to the new 2.53 ROM and with the XT9 function that I use for predictive text using just the phone pad keyboard (which I prefer over the QWERTY keyboard on the small Diamond 2), now as I type letters, what is displayed on the screen is the actual first letter of each key I press, while potential word matches are shown in highlight boxes. Previously what was displayed in the message screen was the actual predicted word as you typed letters and if it wasn't the word I wanted I could then look at the other options - now, I have to select an option for every word I type.
So with the option for word completion turned on in XT9 mode and using the phone pad keyboard which I always prefer to use, if I type the letters to spell 'car', what is displayed are 'aap' and I then need to select 'car' from displayed matches - damn annoying! Anyone else with this problem or is it a new 'feature'??? Or am I just imaging things and this has always been the case and just seems a little different on the new ROM - going crazy!
Only issue may be that I needed to download the ROM from Asia as that is where my phone was purchased to get my serial number recognised so now in the text input settings is an option to use PinYin as the input method (which I have to select) and use the English version on the keyboard so wondering if this is something to do with it?
Thanks for any help you can give
Tim
Yep, highly annoying! Is quite easy to fix though
Fire up a registry editor, navigate to HKLM / Software / Tegic / eT9 and change "ExactInListMode" to 0
Then soft reset.
Also notice you cannot save your added words between resets..

Official ROM update
I would like to update my diamond2 to the last ROM.
The problem is that if I go to http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=912&news_id=596 and put my SN I get Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If I go to http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915 it's working, I just downloaded _HTC Touch Diamond2_RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.4_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe
Is it safe to install this ROM? Will it be in english?
PS. I bought the phone from a guy (used, not new) and I don't know from where it was bought.

If you put your SN into the asian website and it came up with a ROM it should work, but I don't know for sure.
WWE means worldwide English, so it is an English language ROM.

Yes, you can install it and yes, it will be in English (WWE = World Wide English) If the site let you download it using your serial number, then it's good to go without any tweaking (ie. HardSPL, etc)
I personally like the stock theme however I want to change the slide out theme since I use video out option alot I would like it to just show the normal touch flo screen is this possible and if so where can I get the cab?
ThankS!
does anyone know?
What do you mean a slide out theme? Like, the sound that plays? or do you mean the screen image and buttons and such?

yea screen image mainly. I would like to have it like the touch pro 2 has it
example
http://www.htctouchpro2deals.org.uk/htc-touch-pro2-t7373-a-smart-way-of-communication.html
meaning I simply hate to slide the keyboard open and see a black background with 6 boxes. I rather have the normal touch flo 3d look but on a wider scale.
ok i see what you mean. you want landscape touch flo...
just go flash a new rom with sense 2.1 or sense 2.5 in... the original touch flo only have that 6 boxes landscape interface, and these newer ones that have been ported to the device have fully functional landscape just like touch pro 2.
if you don't want to flash a new rom. i think there are cab packages... but they can be problematic.
Try SPB Mobile Shell
I have a cracked cab file... I don't really use it anymore since I got idiamond working on my touch pro, but I have the cab file if you want.
Or I could send you a link to the idiamond thread (the one that is not the beta) d/l in it.

I'm trying this rom now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792880
its winmo 6.1, and has sense 2.5.2019 which is much much better than the original touchflo3d.
If you have never flashed a new rom before, you might need to do a few things before you flash this rom to your device. for details please read the ultimate guide for flashing a rom lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
you can always look for another rom that suits you and check what new programs are built in them.
After you flashed the rom, i suggest you try the new cookie home tab 2 as well. its a modification for sense 2.5. making it even more than better (this rom already has cookie home tab 1)....but its still in beta so you might want to wait for a while...
BTW YOU WILL DEFINITELY LOSE YOUR DATA (not those in memory card...i mean everything in your phone memory like contacts) so back up before you flash.
(If you choose to install a cab version of sense 2.5 on to your current rom.... thats another story but..they are buggy and slow so just backup and flash a new rom...)
