Vodafone UK ROM

Hi all,
Does anybody have the Xperia Vodafone UK ROM?
I know that this question has been posted on here numerous times, because I have sifted through the posts looking for this ROM. I have even contacted members of this forum personally to try and obtain this ROM. Sorry to post on this topic AGAIN, but I desperately need this ROM for warranty purposes.
Any help is very much appreciated.

go to the search at the top of the forum
type in the words
xperia vodafone uk rom dumped
and see what happens.
alternatively look through the xperia roms and guides thread, maybe you didn't bother "sifting" past page 7 'cos it's on page 8.

Yea cheers for the info "Sherlock". Funnily enough that page already has an entry in my browser history...
The problem is that the link on page 8 does not work, hence the purpose of my original post.
Although your post did provide some useful information related to my query, next time do everyone and pull your head out of your arse (ass) before making a post of your own.

Listen very carefully.. I really don't like that attitude.
I took the time to rebuild the stock VFUK rom, i posted it.
The link does work, because I've just tested it.
It is on page 8 of the xperia roms thread, which points to here.
ftp://minftp.myftp.org/XperiaX1i/ROMs/VFUK-rebuilt/
The file is called RUU_signed.nbh
Now if you thought the link didn't work then you should of ;
a) said that you'd tried the link.
b) checked to see if anyone else had the problem,
c) if you had that page bookmarked then you'd know that I posted it, yet you didn't ask me for it
So next time as a new member I suggest you be a damn sight more polite!

No!
You need a vodafone touchHD rom!
But I can't find it...
Maybe vodafone never sell touchHD and there is no vodafone rom for it...

no, they dont sell them. orange and o2 are the only ones. a well, ill stick to my 6.5 rom...... think it would be hard to go back anyway.
thanks

Phone sends out double texts...any advice?

ok first of all i did try searching but very little came up and tried the few solutions that were posted but to avail. for quite a bit now ive been sending double texts messages here and there. it wont happen with every text, ill say about 20% of the texts that i send get sent twice. now im using [June 15][PDACorner] Ultimate-X.V8 -21068 rom with spl 3.34nonstuckingspl with radio 1.71.09.01. i switched spls from 3.56 and ive tried many radios. so if anyone has any kind of insight i would greatly appreaciate it..thanks!

Advice: Use the search as over the last week already been posted in ROM thread...
PDA Ultimate series thread also has info.
Thankyou.

Well there's a couple of things i'd do change SPL like others posted. "I think you using the mentioned SPL"
Change ROM see if still persists.
If still an issue phone your carrier and ask if any problems with your account "without mentioning anythin bout cooked ROM"
I had it happen once when 7 messages where sent but just hard-reset and all was fine.

im going to try and revert back to another spl. so far ive tried 3.34 and 3.56. ive been using pdaultimate's roms only but other people don't have the same problem. thanks sytlez...ill report back to see if its fixed

I think that it is a mixture of carrier problem , connection problem and inherently the way SMS works. My phone does it , my wife's iPhone does it and my son's LG Vu does it. Not all the time but enough.
In any case it has nothing to do with development of new roms, there is a software forum and a general question forum. Just because you don't get an answer one place does not mean, post it in every section until you get the answer you want.
The rom development section has been getting very cluttered lately with questions about things that have nothing to do with developing custom roms, just because people want an answer and want it NOW !.

doesnt it get annoying at some point?
and i didnt post in EVERY section. ive only made this thread in this section and i asked in the pdaultimates rom thread. how would i know the double text problem isn't related to custom roms/radio/spls? thats why im trying to find out what is causing it and how to fix it.

Regarding this dude,
Your gonna want to post in the thread that your using for the rom. IE if your using PDA Ultimate rom post this issue in his thread. Not open a new thread in the rom dev section.. That said i'll leave this thread open in hopes you get a answer but i moved it over to kaiser general to keep our dev area clean of questions as it's meant for rom develoupment.
Peace,
Joshua

ill give it another shot...one of my friends double texts me whenever my phone double texts her...its rather annoying lol

[QUEST] List of all roms available

i`m not sure if i`m breaking any rules by posting this but i`m new on this forum and i have only one problem .. when i`m trying to search for a rom i have ten's of results and onlyt 10 % of them give me what i want .. and sometimes not even thoes... i found a thread in the themes and app section whit known apps working on the touch hd etc ..
could someone make something like this for the roms ..
it`s a nightmare to search for a rom ..
this could be verry helpfull .. just "stick" the thread to the top of the forum and there a moderator or anyone who wants the job could post every existing rom and the link to it ..
no description .. just something like this :
name(dutty`s r4),(miri`s etc) win 6.5 .. build 2****
link (or something close to this)
the reason for wanting this is because whenever i`m trying to search for something i`m spending literaly hours trying to find the rom, app etc ..
thank`s for the answer .. what ever that is

first, let me welcome you to xda! what information are you searching for? your best bet is to read the 1st-10th posts of each ROM thread for details on the the ROM. reading the first few posts of each thread and then posts after the posted ROM release date (usually in the thread title) is the approach i use to get feedback.

i`m starting to get my way around .. but it`s still a bit confsing sometimes .. because it seems that every chef after releasing a new rom he is just posting it in the previews threat without starting a new one .. and sometimes it`s quite confusing .. in the same threat you find 2 3 5 roms everyone diferent builds and it`s not always easy to gues witch is what .. anyway this could be a good ideea .. at least 50% of the users here don`t use english as their base language and it`s not easy for all to find what they are looking for... i started this thread because it was trying to find miri`s build 23053 test .. i was hoping to find`it in a new title but i found`it in a older thread .. somewere at the bottom of the post.. realy hard considering i had screenshots from older builds and the title was saying something else .. anyway .. i would startit myself but i`m away form my pc about 12 hours a day (not counting the sleep )and don`t have the time
thanks for the reply and please excuse my bad english

Its not a bad idea, but it would also be very time consuming. You have to remember that a benchmark thread already exists which gives some information on each rom already, but not to the extent your seeking. Why not have a go at creating this thread yourself and add to this site. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate your effort.

love to .. but like u said it would also be very time consuming .. and i don`t really have the time .. i will give`it a try .. but don`t be surprized if the thread apears after 2-3 months ...
im away from home 12 - 13 hours a day and that`s why i invited someone else to give`it a go .. i just came with the ideea
so who ever reads this and wants the job .. go ahead .. a lot of people will love you after the thread`s release

I've re-opened this thread.
Hopefully others want to help and assist this quest. I'll watch thread closely and if it develops I may sticky it. But its a long way off this for now.
Good luck

Hello
I am willing to give this a try.
I would first like to hear how it would be best to do it because it could quickly get messy.
So feel free to post your suggestions.
I would then be able to asess if i can really manage it.

I would suggest making a google documents account, and setting up a spreadsheet. Make it open access to all, and arrange with ROMs down the side and details along the top. You could have sections for different authors with their ROMs all in one place. Once you have a bare bones structure, invite people to contribute and publish the address of the spreadsheet.
Good luck, it's a great idea. I would also invite proposals for what column headings you have (eg it would be good to have votes so particularly successful ROMs could be identified.)

I'm also lost in the world of rom's
for a start:
what should be in the spreadsheet?
Name of the rom
Language
Version
On what WM is it based
Date of release
programs installed
Known problems and if they're solved

Hi
everything ok besides the last suggestion that would be to difficult i think.
Will post back on updates
Jay

Hello
ok Here is a barebone first try. Please view and suggest improvements. If you would like access to edit and add roms please post here or Pm me.

There was a page on the Wiki that was kept up to date:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_cookedroms
This doesn't seem to have been updated for some time.
Surely this is the best solution, a sticky in the forum which links to the Wiki, and that page is kept up to date.
Maybe the Wiki main page should have details and links to the latest ROM version for each ROM out there, and each one has a link to a page which has previous links in there. These ROMs could be grouped by Chef, and give the Chef an oppotunity to write something brief if they wish.
I do agree that is it very annoying that new threads are not started when a new version of a ROM appears as all the comments relate to when the thread was first started.
I would be happy to be in a group of people to keep the Wiki up to date...
Maybe we need to make it easy as well for the Chefs to notify moderators of the Wiki cooked ROMs page they have release a new version.
Jason

I wouldn't mind allowing someone access to editing Wingster and adding a Touch HD section to my website. I need someone who is dedicated and has time to keep it updated though.
Any takers? The website is (www.thewingster.com)

Hmm indeed the wiki seems to be the most logical solution.
Jay

I had just picked up on this thread and was about to comment on the spreadsheet and the fact that I'm sure a Wiki page was updated once upon a time and low and behold, it's been posted!
The fact is whilst many people are fluent with cooked ROM's, there are MANY more that have a number of valid reasons for being sceptical and wanting specific information before trying.
My personal belief is that the Wiki would be the best solution for this as it can be edited by all.
However I think a mandatory standard should be introduced. Something along the lines of:
ROM Name|OS Ver|Win Release|Manila Ver & Build|Features (top 5?)|Known Bugs (Cooker) | Community common issues|
Just something like this to get some sort of understanding.
For instance, in most of the recent ROMs there seems to be an issue with MMS but the cooker doesn't necessarily agree that it's a ROM issue, hence the community common issues section.
I'm working off my own experiences here however. I personally want to know what device it will work on, what the OS and Manila versions are, what the features are but what the tradeoff to known bugs are if I flash this ROM.
One last thing - Whilst I understand that many of the cookers have other things that are ongoing and therefore get to their ROM's as and when they can and again provide support where they can, I have seen very little support for their ROM's as they know there is another around the corner. That to me is the biggest issue for people wishing to jump into the world of cooked ROMS - the ability to know exactly what they are and aren't getting. Standard ROMs provide that and hence the comfort it brings.
Comments & thoughts?

Hello
A mandatory standard is definitly needed for the Wiki.
I guess we now need to form a team/group of people who are willing to invest some time in updating the wiki.
As for what you say on rom support, the rom thread gives you a lot of info it would also add a lot of work on an already ambitious project.
The main goal here is to provide a single place where you can see and find all available roms.

Well count me in - I'm willing to be a part of this. I really feel that for the "average user" there is very little that they can get at quickly and effectively. If you are a power user you can go through the whole "editing of manila files" and the other titbits in the threads but the fact is most people don't expect "normal" functions to be interrupted by new ROMs...they expect enhancements with no reduction in usability. I understand that there is a trade-off, but i think that trade-off should be immediately understood and available for all users to see.

Same here....
I have started tonight compiling some of the ROM details...
I could add a new table into the Cooked ROMs Wiki page with where I am up to and so people can get an idea of the layout I am proposing?
Personally I think there should be a table per WM version, and also per language, although I have concentrated efforts firstly on WWE.
I also would group in the table by Chef, listing their variants next to each other, each on a different line, but light, standard, heavy builds of the same variant that are usually on the same thread should be on one line, I think we can span the lines in the table on the Wiki so it looks right. The main table should only have latest links, and maybe another Wiki page with previous links, that we move when a new one comes out, so a record is kept where possible.
The column where the name of the ROM series is will link to the thread, with the download links having its own column if possible (maybe with light, standard, heavy if applicable)
Mods: Can you advise on posting links to other sites, i.e. with Dutty etc going to HTCPedia. Some of these Chefs generate a lot of interest, dont really want to exclude these...
Thanks
Jason
EDIT::
I have updated the cooked ROMs page, added a new table near the top, only WM6.5 ROMs WWE versions.
Not an extensive list yet, and some missing information as threads dont have some detail:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_cookedroms
Need to decide on whether the columns are suitable and whether there is more information that would be handy, and/or any other revisions to the layout. If anyone is aware of any of the missing information, that would be great, just go ahead and fill it in...
MODS: Could do with a new thread with a sticky, pointing to the cooked ROM Wiki page once we have sorted it out please.

Chaps,
Now I have put an example table on the cooked roms wiki page, can everyone who is interested take a look and see if we can make this wiki useful...
Thanks

Hello
Nice work! but as you might have noticed there is allready a wm 6.5 section so now we have two.
altough anyone can edit the wiki i was advised by the Mods to first compile the data and then when we have most of the info edit the wiki .
so i suppose we should focus on editing the google spreadsheet i set up.
If anyone wants access please post here.
P.S Jason and Wiggz please PM me a google username so i can add you to the list.

he was suspended for promoting another site on this forum (htcpedia or something like that).
i think the problem was that he put the thread for his roms on this forum but to download it u had to go to the other forum (which required u to sign up and become a member before u could download the rom).
although i think itje has done a lot of good things i think them mods were right to suspend him for what he was doing.
i think they said his suspension finishes on friday but not sure what itje will decide to do after that.

Hmm.. it is a pity the thread is gone. Was some great stuff in there. The thread kept it all in one place. Now it will be quite a job to find stuff in all the other threads. At least the reason for it disappearing seems to be clear now, whether we agree with the reason or not.

Wondering if that really is the reason that it dissapeared. I mean, itje's rom threads are still online and I read somewhere that his suspension will end this friday. So maybe they just accidently removed it or something?

Last |BLACKSTONE|ROM|6.1|WWE| ★ EnergyROM

I have flashed my Touch HD to various builds of WM6.5 and I have experienced problems with numerous applications which simply do not work as they did with WM6.1, e.g. PocketStockMonitor, TrueTerm, PhysicsHelp,... For that reason I should like to switch back to the last WM6.1 ★ EnergyROM, since I have made very good experiences with these series. Does anybody have a download link to this Rom?

I did the SEARCH and I found the Thread, however, the download links are dead.

As per above post, please use the 'search' function before creating a new thread. NRGZ roms are used by a lot so are generally in the first couple of pages within the 'rom development' forums.
