Hello
P.s. Is this the right thread i am posting i dont know....is this is a wrong thread and if i am not supposed to post here then i am sorry for my noobness.....
well, dought a diamond few days back....its a used piece that has no warrenty.....so i have been thinking of modding it with new rom and s/w.....well basically i am a noob in upgrading roms...but i have seen my friend do it a couple of times,felt its a no sweat process....and i wanna try my hand at it....
well basically i need a good rom....(i know i should have searched the forum for roms....but i need your valuable Wisdom in choosing the right rom cause if i choose a wrong one i might mess things up.....and no i am not Lazy)
well...i want a good rom....plz suggest me a few...i will now mention what i need in my phone....so plz..be patient
i need
Windows Mobile OS Rom(preferably The Latest 6.1 cause its the stable one around....i dont know about 6.5 is it any good..?)
can i have the cube application in the Diamond......it would look cool to use it...
Mobile Office,Pdf Reader,yahoo messenger,a nice all in one media player..(like vlc on pc platform....it plays everything i throw at it...i just love it..)
i would also like to have the Htc Touch Viva Blue Theme.....i dont Know what its called but i saw it on my friend phone and it was pleasent...
Hey, u know that your phone can brick, right?
You really should read a lot about flashing before doing it.
Start >here<
After that proceed here
If you read everything carefully and want to flash a new ROM be shure to
do it step by step as it's suggested.
And I guess you have read it quite often, but you have to find your own ROM.
Try some and then decide which to use. It's most satisfying^^
And yes, 6.1 is more stable than 6.5 for now so you should take a 6.1 ROM.
But have a look at these two ROMs. I have tryed them both besides many other and I used the A.Z.T.O.R. series for a long time -> very stable and really fast! Will use it again when X3 will be released I don't know if they fit all of your personal needs, but especially for some special theme or so on you should search the Thread you posted this request
A.Z.T.O.R.

Good luck!
PS.: Please use a topic that contains some more information next time
oh dang i could only get to the first sentence because i have cdma
Thanks for the reply marcel .....i know that i am risking it...but hey...better to die than live a coward all my life ....i want to go thru this...
and okay nxt time i will name the thread more appealingly....
I would recommend two options. You can use Cloudy 1.1 with and without Manila. I have tried both. The WITH Manila has the TF3D with it which is very nice. However, my preference is WITHOUT Manila and then add SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. This is more user friendly.
Both options are very fast and with lots of free ram (more than 50Mb)...
I am not sure if these work with CDMA - please check first.
By the way, I think there is so much great help on these sites (and PPC Geeks) that you will always find a way to get your phone looking and feeling the way you like.
Good luck!
Oops...!!!
Sorry i forgot to mention..the Diamond i right now have was flashed earlier...so right now its having a custom rom by diamond project team....well i am looking for a move basic rom.....which is almost or most likely official rom...
if you want a official rom you can visit HTC.com and download the latest official rom that have been released. whether or not you can use the custom spl without doing any harm i have no idea about since i do not know anything about roms and flashing i just know that HTC has official roms on their site
I think u can download ROMs from HTC if u own an original-HTC device, right?
I wasn't able to download their ROMs because I bought my Diamond from a German reseller
-> Same phone, nearly the same look but an unsupported IMEI (?)
And again I can propose an A.Z.T.O.R. ROM^^
Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms = A.Z.T.O.R.
And as your phone was flashed before you should have no probs flashing a new ROM^^ So try some and then choose
The Whole Story!!!
Actually The Diamond i Right now have was bought off the gray market..it was actually a orange network locked phone...so the phone is right now unlocked,gray market product....
Okie....i will take a look at AZTOR..
Ahem...
Well i decided to go with this hardspl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 but i cannot seem to understand which radio file to choose....and Roms are Relatively not a big problem...i will try AZTOR OR Duttys..plz gimme a latest stable Radio file...

Ok guys ive ported or at least i think i did , the newest 6.5 build to our beloved blue angels..but theres a problem the rom is not booting its stays in the bootloader screen, my guess is that something is wrong in the imageinfo.bin or maybe the rom is to big hence the OS wont boot up(although the output .nbf image is exactly 32mb in size), i need help from senior rom cookers xplode,sun_dream,swampy so please guys if you see this post hit me up with a pm so you can help me figured out whats wrong in my rom.
note: Ive removed lots of things from the original rom like welcome center,IE8,widgets,office and a bunch of other crap that makes the rom heavy, don't worry il release them as cabs
And also i wanna thank bepe for his rom tools, xplode/sun_dream for inspiring me on taking this rom cooking journey ;D
Anyways stay tune guys.
Way to go Rafyvitto!!!!
Is it a true release or just a hex edited (aka fake) release? Reason I am asking is because I have seen a load of new builds in the Raphael forums (all of them within one weeks time)
In either case, I am looking forward to it!

Hi mate Have a look inside your XIP.bin and you'll find a little bit of space were you can put some OEM_Driver files "there's not much but can save you some space in rom image, or use explode or sundream XIP.bin as "base xip" but dump "it" and look inside and then remove the extra files you find from your OEM folder and make use of the ones in XIP.bin

We all want to see you growing up as a ROM developer, our best wishes.
Maybe...
Maybe you need to port the xip with other tool, there must be the mistake... ask personally to xplode i think he uses a different way to port, i mean manually. i have saw a thread with this kind of xplanation but i cant remember where...
Good luck man! nice to see you trying to cook.
Im trying to cook 6.1 on Elfin i did two roms now nothing to be surprised of course i need to know so much more!
when members talk about the AKU versions and different radio versions ie, 1.17 or 1.19 etc.
what are they writing about a quick expo i would be greatly thankfull.
its proberly something simple but being a noob still [but getting there] you have to ask.
also am i right in thinking that the kitchens members write about are homemade apps that help you make your own modded rom.
if that is the case are there any links that anyone can give to explain from scratch how to use them hopefully with lots of pics to help along.
i have a kitchen i think included with sun_dream's [Himalaya OEM 2010]WM6.5.3_28230_v2_WWE_Kitchen[rapidshare&mediafire] upload.
thanks in advance to any responce!
Hey guys i have bought my new Touch Pro 2 mobile.. and so i am going to use my I-mate jam for making new ROM's for jam.. Request to all Magician ppl to help me to build rom what you want... you can tell me
1. Do you want a clean rom..
2. Rom with TouchFLO 2d..
3. Anyother..
will be waiting for your replys..
cant make the decision alone.. so thought of making a post..
Q: Do you know how to build magician ROMs?
If yes, please tell me how. (I was making few roms for friends kovsky, so i know what and how, but i have not found any way how to build for my magician)
A clean to the bone 6.5.3 ROM would be nice...
Or even Android!
P.S. I`m in for testing!
Android + 1, or 6.5.x with manila 2
I think andriod is to slow for the magician, and it would be to hard to make it for one person.
Windows mobile 6.5.5 is really nice. But I heard it is hard to unpack the magician roms. There is not any kitchen released. Only cotulla has succeeded making an magician rom so far..
Yes, but he is selfish and doesn't want to share his work with us. Lazy too. I respect his work but nothing new is posted since 2009... Like he is left this magician project...
Android sounds interesting.
I'd even like to help in any way possible, posted a message in the general > questions just today.
I'm doing a study informatica > software engineer, and for a schoolproject we have to write an android application ... don't have €500,- for some fancy HTC phone with android on it, so if we could kick my phone back to life (even if it is slow) it would be awesome.
Saying that, also like to add that i have enough sparetime to help you out with some testing, reading, writing/coding I'm not really experience with mobile phone OS ROMS so it is a good challenge and probly a nice sparetime project
I would that its a rom like htc touch 2,
The start button at the bottom
I fear also that Cotulla no longer is working on the Magician ROMs.
I hope I'm wrong...
A new ROM should be fingerfriendly and stable with all Radio-Software-Versions.
I love my Magician ! A solid Case , you became all Repair Parts for low Price and you can change them self . I would be happy , if someone could make a kitchen, with a chance to change the language . Good luck !
Mod. edit: as of now not dev related, moved to general
?
hey
i want to ask when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know
?
Does anywhone now when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know
A WM6.5.X, Android or WP7 is great.

are you kidding me? what do YOU CAN MODIFY?
Tell me that you are not modifying Cotulla's roms, that is not cool dude.
Respect his work and wishes, either create your own rom or get permission from the big man himself before doing it.
DO NOT WORRY i DO NOT use Cotulla's rom!!!! i do respect his great work... at the moment im working on WM2003SE but i guess that same or similar procedure is used on WM6.1/WM6.5.... so i juct need to figure out way to build new rom form files that i have extracted...
any info is appreciated....
i havent found any kitchen for Magician, and kitchen for Himalaya or BlueAngel does not work on Magician... so sad...
ok that is great news, now I am sure there are guides for rom compiling available around here. I will have a look soon and report back
I cooked my own ROM based on Cotulla O5. but Cotulla doesn't allow it for the publication.
if you want you can publish your rom on www.techz.in
Hi all,
Can someone recommend me the most stable rom which means no lagging or not hanging? or there is none?
I came from HTC Magic so I am familiar with the versions, flashing but in this thread I am totally new although I have flashed xtreme rom
Xtreme rom is quite fast compare to the shipped rom.(but it is still hang time to time) My HD2 is from singapore, telco is starhub.
This is the first time I am on winmo phone and now quite upset about the shipped os.
but but i am lucky to be here to try faster and more stable roms.
So pls someone suggest me which rom should I go for it and all the roms are compatible with my phone? How and where to check the compatible?
This is the way I installed rom, pls correct if i'm wrong.
flash hspl
flash radio
do task 29
flash the rom
reset
do some other fixes if necessary
Thanks a lot.
You guys rock.
ps. Admin, pls delete it if I shouldn't start a new thread. Thanks.
Sorry for quick answer
go to HD2 ROM Development
click view to ascending so u can see most view and click post to see max post from there you can find which rom is using by most people.
if you are more lazy then come here i would flash your phone for you!!!
Hi Thihaz,
Best thing to do, as mentioned above, is to look through the first few posts of each rom and see which ones feel like they will deliver what you are looking for then try them out.
Please read ALL of the tutorial threads, hints and tips, and especially the rom chefs advice BEFORE jumping in.
Good luck with it. Closing this as we don't do "best rom" type threads but I wanted to help you out.
If you need more help on this matter feel free to pm me.
Cheers
WB
PS: Never start a thread by telling people you are feeling lazy. You will get zero help that way.
