ClearType tuning after 1.72 i-mate ROM upgrade

Help me plz!
I always use the cleartype in my XDA2 'cause I need to zoom excel tables and others.
The text only in CT-mode readable.
Is anybody knows a software, what can adjust the cleartype, like in the iPAQ h4150?

There is no software (yet) that can change the cleartype for our devices.
You will be stuck at this ****ty cleartype from the iMate rom.
As far as I know all of the latest roms out there have bad cleartype...

Bad.. !!?.. it looks like somone have pissed on it. It´s all yellowish..

Come on you clever peeps... Someone work out how to alter one of the things so that if you upgrade to a cool new ROM, but with crappy CT, you can take the GOOD CT from an older ROM, and get it on your device.
It must be Software based obviously, but the problem is, it seems written into the base ROM, and not the Extended ROM...
So clever peeps - someone crack it for us?

win mobile 6 on herald?

many roms of wm6 are around on known sites for specific models.is anything for our herald too?ive read that there is going to be an official update to wm6 of this model so there must be something around, even beta.

Mhhm, i couldn´t find anything by now....
Lets wait a little, i think HTC is going to release something for us, soon

No one cooking any roms for the Herald tho?

doesn't look like it, i looked into porting one of the wizard roms but i didnt get very far! its definately possible to flash your own roms though. Also its worth remembering that HTC have promised us wm6 roms before June. I would much rather have that than a pre-release wm6 rom as the ones that are avaliable for the wizard, hermes etc.

As far as i know, everyone is content with AKU 3.2

well i have used crossbow on my wizard and the only difference i see are pretty icons and html mail. i dont really care about either, and more importantly my herald is very stable, cant remember the last time i had to soft reset never mind hard reset. so thats why i can wait until htc do their thang!

I hear one handed uses on WM6 is way better and that windows update feature looks very promissing.

O2 may be releasing an HTC Herald as O2 XDA Terra, with WM6 on it.

HTC Herald (aka Tmo Wing)
I bought a T-Mobile Wing 2 days ago (obviously it has WM6 on it) Where-as it is stable - I am rather disappointed that they removed the native VoIP support - thus I am waiting for someone to cook a ROM and put it back in so I can do the Hybrid Cell/VoIP thing that I was Previously doing on my Wizard (MDA) - I still have my Wizard which I use strictly for VoIP at home.

It would be great cuz Im not so happy with WM5

typical, get shafted by HP again.... shell out close to half a grand on a device you expect that youll get some decent support with it and not for it to become obsolete quite this quickly....
Hp need to stop doing things like this, if the upgrade doesnt come about for the hw6915 its twice that they have done me soon after buying a new device from them.
Whats the score on an unoffical upgrade? The SIP/VoIP functionality for this device is just too good not to have (being a fully paid up vonage /vonage softphone user)

does anyone know if there is a WM for the iPAq 2200 ??
Thanks Dave

6925 & WM6?
Saw the thread,

I have a HW6945, so I am interest in how you do it and if this worked for you, please feel free to PM me too

=It cannot be done.

it has to be done or i'll trow away this piece of cr*p so called HP 6915.
Cheap plastic covers, lots of scatches.... the only thing that will make me keep it is an rom for WM6.
or i'll try the new blackberry. at least it looks better.
All the best from romania...

Well, dont agree here...
6915 is far best pda i owned... stable, works nice, keyboard is great, everything works as it should just need to customise it...
the plastic is ok until you start to drop it on the floor...
official WM6 will never be on this phone, wait for another 6XXX release with WM6 if you want it so badly...
P.

don't want to star a flame but...
the diference between a Palm operating system and a similar win is huge. never have to close manually aplications that use memory for nothing, avery couples of days i have to reset it. i admint i use it a lot, because is my phone, my navigation, my agenda, my everything. but is not an escuse...
i'll wait for a release ...

are you sure that you know how to use a winmo phone? if you like palm os that much, why dont you get a treo? LOL

well because the only gps software who has good coverage of romania is i-go, and the only version it has it's a win mobile version.
i have a win mobile pda phone and that's it ... i have to use it.
by the way, does anybody tried gps software like igo, tomtom, etc, with wm6?
how it's like?

Sorry but maybe I didn’t get you right
My English is so so
You are saying that you find WM unreliable due to the fact you are not familiar with a 3prt app to close running program when tapping on the O.K. (try SPB PLUS it will fill like palm)
WM by default enable you to minimize and you can run thins in the background
Let's say you want to copy/compare info from a note to your contacts list
You just SW between the apps (there are a lot of uses for running things in background)
Maybe you prefer learning every time a new OS when there is a new device?
The grate thing with WM is that all the things you are used to on your home pc you perform on mobile with the same approach
You just need to replace the mouse right click with tap & hold and left click with a tap
Remember that the default is minimize and if you want to close app you tap on your virtual keyboard CTL then tap on Q
Good luck
Hope I helped

Latest WM5 ROM? do help

Hi All,
I just brought back my uni after a few months of semi-coma (i will release the details shortly) and now i would love to get my hands on the latest WM5 ROM from any carrier as i want to test my Uni and see if it's truly workable again. I want to use WM6 but too many and not sure which I want to use with issues.
Do pass the info and link if possible.
TQ and regards,
techx

Asking for a Rom (any rom) is a risky business, it usually depends on your needs/tastes, but you can have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376771

Hi Kecido,
I know it's not right to request but I should have asked, what is the latest original ROM uodate released by the carriers at the moment. Was it Imate or TMobile or Orange?
TQ and regards,
techx
btw, i don't like WM6 cos cooked ROM has too many issues.

Now the risky businees is mine, because I'm not such a geek to answer that question, anyway, for universal as far as I know (I can invite anyone else to tell me I'm wrong, please, tell me I'm wrong, er, mmm, just a "lapsus") it should be T-mobile (akku 3.3 I think), and source of the one I pointed for you (better ask to the modder).
Anyway, read and have fun.

Actually I find whe "what's the best WM6 rom for me?" posts annoying. WM5 roms are few and far between these days as most seem to want Wm6 even though it's not 100% functional. So yes in my opinion the question IS valid.
The latest official WM5 rom is the T-Mobile AKU 3.3 available from T-Mobile support websites. The link in the post above is a team effort Matrix Final rom created by myself and SDHC card support added by Bennyen.
There were some issues I didn't like in the original T-Mobile rom like the GPRS connection had to be forced to on and the various nag screens about unsigned apps and the god awful hideous colour schemes that T-Mobile insist on using etc. Hence I developed the rom that suited my needs - I use my phone for GPRS internet use quite heavily so I biased it towards that - and shared it just incase anyone else liked it. I am not saying install my rom. I am saying try out a range of them and find one that suits you as it's you that knows what your requirements are
Hope this helps.
Psi

Thanks for the info PsiDoc
Hi Psidoc,
Thank you for the reply and I will try, once i get my Uni back from the dead (again, yes i know)
Hope Uni comes back to realty soon.
TQ again.
Techx

Oh dear...
what did you do to it?

Me too (but O2 UK Xda Exec latest rom from O2)

The one on buzzdev.net does not work (i get no errors whatsoever but when it is finished and I do hard reset, press O then the screen goes multicolored and pixeled and nothing happenes).
Anyone has this ROM, it is not on O2 site anymore.
Thanks in advance.

ba upgrade wm6 to 6.5

Hi can anyone please tell me how to upgrade my ba to wm 6.5 from wm 6? , i used the wizard to upgrade from wm2003 to wm6 about 2 yrs ago, any help much appreciated, love this pda and i love using it as a phone too

basicly, when your device is already upgraded, there is not much to do.
you probably don't have to worry about sim lock and radio roms and storage sizes anymore, since apparently, it all worked fine so far.
so all you need to do is download any wm6.5 rom, unpack it, and make a RUU folder, containing the rom itself (nk.nbf) and a few other files named for example maupgradeut_noid.exe and getdevicedata and so on.
then you hard reset your device by pressing camera+record+power+reset and set the menu options clear registry hive and format storage to "YES" and enable kitl to "NO" using the camera and record buttons to flip and switch, confirm that with the mail button.
then you put your device into bootloader mode by pressing reset+record+power, kill active sync, connect the device to the pc and start maupgradeut_noid. if the 2nd screen shows you at least the version of the rom you go to, you are fine and can start the upgrade.
as soon as it is finished, use the hard reset method described above to prepare the device for the first start and then you might want to use "getting started" on the device to set it up and set up sync to get your pim data back. i shortened this description as you might remember a lot of stuff, or so i hope. most of what i wrote should ring a bell, if not, please feel free to have a look in the wizard for upgrades from wm5 to wm6 -=here=- or simply ask again, what troubles you.
with best regards

hi Tony thanks 4 ure help, when u say any rom is that only those specific for ba or are they all universal? i downloaded WM65-23052 & EnergyROM_RAPHAEL_20090811_Titanium or should i stick to the ones on the ba wizard page eg r6? i guess its the latter

of course you can only use blueangel roms found in the ba wm6 section, i mean, if you have a dvd writer that can read any disk, you wouldn't shove a slice of salami in there, would you?
the roms are so far interchangable as being WWE and work with every BA worldwide, but you need a blueangel rom, because of the rom's structure, memory consumption, drivers and so on, and after all, the buttons and the display resolution.
i once had a case, where someone tried to flash a charmer rom to a ba, that rom was way too big, and also the files were completely different, so he couldn't get through with it on his own and asked, because he would have messed up his ba with that pretty bad.
so, conclusively, 23052 builds are nice, but wait, till it's coming for the BA. i think d-two is working on it, maybe you want to have a look at the 23004 german rom thread, i asked him and he is gonna make an english version too, but until then you might want to catch status updates there.

Tony thanks it worked awsome phone, i used xplodes english rom, is there much difference between that & the german one? who needs an iphone eh again many thanks will lookout for d2s new ba release cheers

with the current releases there are no major differences between d-two's and xplode's build (except for the language) but what i wrote was about the next builds, they're both working on 23047 or 23052 builds, but d-two has the advantage that he has overcome the know sync and sms bugs, so his build will probably be the first of those two to come out. although he is rather new to this forum and so far he only supported his own wm6.5 build 23004 german, that is a guy you better keep an eye on. he is making fast progress and maybe will become one of the major chefs soon.

hi again please can you tell me how to do a wm6.5 hard reset & also how to get into into bootloader mode as to reload a new rom eg d2's, also i did notice there were 2 excel icons in msoffice maybe a bug many thanks

actually i solved it myself, just gotta be quicker with the camera & record buttons cheers

Hi Tony everything on explodes exroms installed ok except jbed, is that java? Also i looked at xplodes manila thats really nice, i guess thats on the latest phones , its like a mini o/s, so u would just install that after u install a 6.5 rom?

yes, jbed is the java applet manager.
for manila, i wouldn't say it is a mini os, it is more of an alternative gui, it replaces the titanium today screen with a touchflo one, but it also just features basic functions, photo viewing, music playing and does not alter the start menu or any add-on apps, most of the functions are also available in titanium or for titanium as an add-in, let's say facebook or stuff like that.
the time to install doesn't really matter, you can also install other apps first, whatever, you only need to know that after you install it, you have to deactivate "default" in today plug-ins and also all the others, because you can have only manila as your today plugin then and then you should find a "touch to start touchflo" button on your today screen and then you'll see, whether it works or not. that really depends from user to user, and between the different devices, roms, countries and manila versions, maybe you have to try several versions before you actually find one that runs in an acceptable speed, because that seems to be the general issue when it comes to porting manila.

thanks i may just stick 2 what i have, d2,s new 6.5.1 rom is beta so would that except xplodes extrom 23004 cabs? or is it best to wait for him to put his own one out?

thanks i may just stick with what i have, D2's new rom 6.5.1 is that compatible with xplodes 23004 extrom or is it best to wait for d2 to bring his own one out?

d-two said he wanted to release one, maybe till the weekend he's done putting it together.
