[Q] HTC Topaz roms without spyware like caller iq? - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a Rom for the HTC Topaz without caller iq or anything else that compiles and sends my phone's data.
I searched, but no answer.
Thanks.

IMO all WM6.1 ROMs for Topaz are without Caller IQ.
Caller IQ was secretly implemented in early 2010.
Senax

What about Dutty's ROMs? Especially the new ones? I would like to be able to keep my phone from talking too much. And isn't there something in HTC Sense that sends info out too?

I would love to get Name display working on my new diamond2, I have talked to pandaboyy and because he doesn't have the diamond2, he was not able to help me.
My suggestion is: I would appreciate any chef cooking for the D2 to implement their method to get the name display to work. This would help all Canadian susbcribers like myself.
Thank you very much... Looking to get the name display working!!!!

I'll be more then happy to contribute 30 US dollars via paypal who ever gets a CAB working. other people are welcome to contribute money wise.
how can I get someone to help me with it? I'd really appreciate any help...
thanks
Check my profile , contact me with msn

Try using this .CAB. It should be universal for most HTC-based WinMo 6 devices, as it works on my Xperia.
Hope that helps!
It did not work :'(
would anyone know why?

The only way we could get this to work on a Topaz or a Rhodium is for Rogers to release one of the devices. Name display worked on the Diamond, Raphael and Xperia because Rogers released a Rogers-branded Diamond, and the rilphone.dll from the stock Rogers ROM was used to get CNAP to work in all Diamond, Raphael and Xperia ROM's. However, the despite having most of the same hardware (processor, memory, etc.) specs, the Rhodium and the Topaz are different and that's why the rilphone.dll from the Rogers Diamond ROM won't work in them.

I am running LEO CELL EVO 4 Rom on my Tilt2. SO i gave the Rogers Name Display cab link above (under scar45 post) worked on my Tilt 2. Well not 100%. It works flawlessly with WM Phone dialer skin. However with HTC Sense Phone skin, during the incoming call it only shows the number however as soon as you answer it, the name shows up. it also shows up under the call logs. SO i am guessing for the HTC Phone dialer it must have something to do with the resolution of the phone canvas? any ideas anyone?
the rilphone.dll in the cab works with the tilt2. battery drain is normal with other rilphone.dll. it did not brick my phone. I will experiment more and let u guys know

Well, I did the same thing you did, and I get the same results. Strange that the name is displayed in Sense only after you answer the call...
Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out.
Hi there,
Just another Canadian Rogers customer who would love to have name display on my HD2...any advice would be appreciated.

So far no one has gotten it to work properly using an HTC dialer. If you don't mind using the WM dialer, then it works just fine.
Thanks, I did get it working with WM Dialer.
For other noobs, here is how to switch from HTC to WM dialer:

And how to get to the registry:

Then run the .cab file posted in this thread.

HTC Pure freezes when answering incoming call, multiple versions used, multiple ROMS

This is an offshoot of this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4922790#post4922790
I, as well as others seem to be having this problem. It affects 75% or more of my incoming calls making my phone practically unusable, so I need to get to the bottom of this.
The issue: Trying to answer an incoming call when using Dutty Topaz R3 (and others) results in the phone freezing for 30 seconds or more and a missed call. Originally, I thought the problem was related to S2U2, but after a hard reset and not using it at all, it appears the issue is related to the ROM itself.
The weird part is, if I use the Topaz settings tool to turn off the Topaz phone canvas, the issue goes away. The problem is the last called list doesnt work, and the dialer doesnt work.
Lets see if we can get this issue resolved ASAP, so chefs can incorporate the changes into their ROMS. I tried a few different ones last night, and its a common problem across all of them.
Just to add, Ive had this issue with:
Dutty Topaz R3
Dutty Leo R6
EnergyRom Topaz
try change radio version
Its not the radio version.
From doing some reading on the forums, I think the issue is related to the Topaz dialer as I had that same issue on the AT&T stock ROM and some other cooked ROMS. I have been using Dutty's ROMs for a bit now and I find that his version (specifically with the Leo phone canvas) works extremely well. I have not had an issue with answering the phone since...
If you can find either the Leo Phone Canvas or the Rhodium Canvas, that might also help you as I have also read that just changing the canvas might work, too...
Which version, specifically, are you using? I can download and flash and give it a shot as soon as I know.

Any of Dutty's ROMs with the Leo canvas have worked for me, I was using the ROM in my signature for a while (for me, that qualifies as more than a week cuz I am a flashaholic)... Currently using his Holy Grail V1, which is also a really good ROM... Let me know how it goes, hope it works for you (don't forget the hard reset after you flash his ROM and it goes through its customization, you don't know how many people forget that step and causes issues with the ROM)...
Why discussing the same subject in two threads at the same time ?
THis one and in this one

Because this issue spans multiple ROMs and the cooks need to be involved in fixing this.
Moreover, there seems to be (as of now) no solid fix for the issue, so the more exposure we get on this issue, the more likely we are to find the fix.

I have said it in the other thread and I say it here as well.
Their is a fix... use Leo canvas. Topaz canvas is not compatible with HTC Pure. Topaz canvas is designed for video call, which HTC pure can not do.
Just finishes flashing HGR1, the dialer is indeed different (no video call option).
Lets see what develops for today...

What is the difference between video call and video share? HTC Pure supports video share.. Does this have something to do with the VGA cam on the front of the TD2 that the Pure doesn't have?

Is there a cab for the Leo canvas? If so can someone please post it.
Im happy to report the Leo canvas indeed seems to have worked.
The problem is, theres still a bunch of ROMs floating around out there with the Topaz canvas.

Good to hear that. Welcome to my world of problem free Pure ;-) Seriously, I am quite pleased with this phone, compared to my Touch, Diamond and Fuze.
Now we need to convince chef with leo canvas to make a cab for us.
Just to follow up, the Leo canvas has fixed my issue.
Like previously stated, and Leo canvas .cab would be awesome.

Have the same issue. I'll try Dutty's latest with the Leo canvas and see what happens. Could have sworn I used a ROM with the Leo canvas and still had the issue (eventually; didn't happen at first). We'll see.

Video share and video call are the same thing, just different terminology. Many people are saying that the Pure does not support video calling, when in fact it does. It just doesn't support it in the same way as the TD2, which has two cameras. The Pure has only one camera, which is on the back of the phone.
So you have two solutions. You can use ROMs with the dialer derived from the stock AT&T ROM (like Optimal Champious) or you can use ROMs that use the Leo dialer, which does not have the videocalling feature.
I still would like to find an actual fix for this problem so that those who own AT&T Pure hardware could simply run a cab that would tweak the Topaz dialer so it would work fine with the AT&T Pure rather than bugging out.
Ok, since no one seems willing and/or able to roll the Leo canvas into a .cab, what other canvas is compatible with the Pure?

[Q] Rogers name display on Tilt2

I recently replaced my Fuze with a Tilt2. To get name display to work on my Fuze, all I had to do was replace the rilphone.dll on my Fuze with one that came from a Rogers-branded Diamond.
I was wondering if I could use the same Diamond rilphone.dll in my Tilt2?
If not, is there anyway of getting Rogers name display to work on a Tilt2?
FYI, here is a list of HTC devices that are Rogers-branded (in case it helps with answering my question): Magic, Dream, Touch, Diamond, TyTN, S621.
TIA
For those interested, take a look at this post/thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5701643&postcount=8
Apparently the rilphone.dll from the Diamond does work (at least partly) on a Rhodium. I've tried it myself, and get the same results: name display does work in the WM dialer, but in the HTC Sense dialer, it only works after you answer the call. It's a start, at least. Hopefully someone will be able to fully iron out the issue.

2 problems with custom ROM's worked-around: SMS intercept and Exchange certificate

I'm not sure how much this may or may not apply to others but I thought I'd share my experience.
Prior the Pure, I had a Treo 850/Pro, which worked great out of the box with my exchange server and PhoneFusion's visual voicemail app.
Well, neither worked with either the Pure ROM nor a few cooked ROM's.
After some hunting, I've got both satisfactorily licked.
The problem, as has been otherwise identified, with SMS interception interfering with programs that need to intercept them is Manilla. By using TiGER's 28011 clean, I am able to have all the new style with the programs that I like to use. No matter how pretty it is, sucks if I can't use the things that I need to.
Regarding exchange, for some reason I didn't have any intermediate certificates when using custom ROM's. I was able to export a similar certificate as the intermediate one on my Treo from IE 7 on my PC and then was able to successfully connect with Exchange. So for anyone that tried a custom ROM and lost the ability to sync to Exchange, it might be worth looking into..
So, I'm pretty thrilled. not perfect but good enough for now
more plain English, please.... especially the 'sms interception interfering with programs that need to intercept them is Manila' part. in short, any solution you'd be willing to share?
yup, not using Manilla at all. I tried several ROM's with HTC messaging. The original Pure ROM with 2.1, Dutty's with 2.1 & 2.5, Shadowline's 28011 with 2.5, PDAViet's with 2.1. The only one that works is TiGER's clean with no HTC messaging installed at all.
Maybe SMS's could be successfully intercepted by other programs if one disabled HTC Messaging and still chose to use Manilla, but then, its like WTF...Manilla is cool because its all there, when one starts removing its parts, it loses some luster, IMHO

cool, thanks.
now why what's working (sms-wise) in manila 2.1 cannot anymore in 2.5?
do you mean that TiGER's clean version removing ONLY the HTC messaging, or the Sense/Manila altogether?
TiGER's clean ROM's are freaking clean. Absolutely minimal and only basic MS services and apps. Nothing custom, clean slate, tablua rasa if you will
the sms intercept didn't work for me in either 2.1 or 2.5. The authors of phonefusion visual voicemail also noted that it didn't work with the stock Pure ROM.
And really I'd be reticent to try the HTC messaging disbaling because it seems to be complicated and frought with issues. until HTC can make their skin plan nicer with other proggys, then I have to pass.

lucky you, my friend, i'm one of those suckers who try to live with Manila (now, Sense) with some of its luster(s) lost. guess I live in an sms limbo, thanks to geniuses at HTC.

[Q] Few basic questions please! For X1

I love this forum it has been helpful. But I am still new at a lot of this.
I have installed a few ROM'S on my X1. I have the Energy reference ROM right now, trying to keep the weight down on it.
I have searched a lot and haven’t found any definitive answers for the following questions.
I would like to have a Rom that is based on the Touch Pro 2. My wife has a TP2 that was bought unlocked unbranded. It is still running a stock ROM. I know its WM 6.5 but not sure about the sense version it has. I believe it’s an older version. On the People tab it is more like a flip picture for the contacts. And also the music and mail tabs.
Is there a list or reference chart that gives details on version numbers? And how to tell what version a stock ROM is?
Thank you.
I think the build number i.e. 29001 is build number of Windows Mobile that's not the WM Version. so 29001 is newer than 28000 but both of them is WM6.5.5. There's a connection between that number (so proper range is showing the version of WM) i.e. 25xxx-29xxx is WM6.5.5 or 21xxx-23xxx is WM6.5.1, but I'm not a devs so I don't know much about it exactly. If you want to flash from one chef (person/people who make ROM i.e. 826x ROM by Willyung, Russell Eclair ROM buy Russell Eclair), just choose the higher one because it means that the WM is also upgraded and updated to the max power and functionality.
Stock ROM is an original ROM from manufacture- Sony Ericsson. While Custom ROM isn't officially coming out from SE but it is cooked (made) by some kind and genius person/s.
Stock ROM is used in case you want to restore your phone to an original condition for proper purpose i.e. claiming for warranty.
Hope this is helpful...
Thank you for the info.
I think what I am after is a basic 6.5 ROM that matches the TP2 pretty close. Minus all the extra stuff that drags it down.
I like the way the sense feels better than the newer updated ones. Might be bugs but that is ok.
I don’t use the phone to any great usage, just basic calls, very very few text and GPS.
This is the info off the TP2 maybe someone might be able to know what’s what off it.
