Ok guys - since my Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 rom has a few bugs (like the volume-control slider not working), I decided to reinstall a new rom. Ive seen already tons of threads including thousands of posts so it`s difficult to find out which rom is the best.
I heard of Faria released a cooked WM6-Rom but I m not sure if it`s working fine with the wizard and if there are still some bugs. In addition to that i don`t know if there are any incompatabilites with WM5 applications.
I`ve also seen a WM5 Rom tons auf WM5 Roms - but which one is working realy fine?
Oh forgot that: I`ve a G4 Device but it`s already CID unlocked.
LOL!!!!!!!
I haven't tried them all but Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 has been working great for me.
A couple of people, myself included had a problem where the built in phone dialer disappeared, but I fixed that by installing the Iphone dialer (can be found here by searching).
First Post.....
Yes, I as my post count would suggest I am new to flashing roms and setting up 3rd party softwares on my Wizard but I must say after hanging out on this forum for a couple of weeks I now feel somewhat like a veteran.
I first flashed with crossbow reloaded 1.7.1 I liked it and didn't notice any major problems at all.
But I was so impressed by XDA Mobile 6 that i had to try it and must say after about a week using it (since it was released) I'm much more impressed, wizard seems faster, i love the interface and the post offers great insight into problems and finding what configurations work for everyone.
I would suggest you try a few roms till you find what suits you best, here is the link to XDA Mobile 6

ok guys first i've installed core 2.0 what seems to work fine but, well u know, it's like a clean vanilla rom - too clean for me. So next i wanted Titanium but it's not released yet. After looking over the programs Faria delivers with his rom, i've decided not to have this much software and installed XDA Mobile 6. Seems to work fine and it looks nice.
Just one more question: where the heck is some difference to WM5? I mean everything looks like the same in WM6. Well ok, there is maybe a new skin, and some new tones, but in the end, i've could also use WM5 with wisbar and the Vista Skin.
For me it seems to be the same sh** like Windows XP and Vista - no real changes at all.
There's a page somewhere on Microsoft.com that details all of the new features in wm6 (Im sure if you do a google search for wm6 review you will find it). The most important one in my opinion is the ability to display HTML with in emails.
Just upgraded to Sprint 6.1 Rom on my vogue and lost my dialer, anyone know where I can find it (CAB) again? I really dont like the new one since there is no "talk" button. Any help would be great. Thanks.
id be willing to bet google knows where that dialer is
Been looking for awhile now, maybe Google doesnt like me.... Thanks though.
Use the ppcgeeks kitchen, make yourself your own rom, unlock your device, put the vogue dialer in that ROM, flash and feel accomplished
ppckitchen.org
I'm not sure what is the name of the dialer though but it's included in open touch v4 rom for xda herald:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377939
Frankly I really hated this dialer. The number buttons are small and very unresponsive. The color is not as pleasing. I recommend the iphone dialer of the newer minimal dialer.
that is actually the wm6 default dialer. I remember seeing a cab of it somewhere around here (for the wm5 folks)
This may be the cab you are looking for. From WM5.
I had to scout around and find it when i upgraded to WM6.
Cheers.
make the following edit in your registry and soft reset.
hklm\security\phone\skin\enabled = 0
thanks "black_mamba" @ ppcgeeks.
Hi I have an HTC touch and i want to install this dialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430354
But when I install it , fails.
Anyone knows how to install this on our HTC Touch Elfin?
Thank you so much.
If you have another dialer already installed (non original) you have to uninstall that first. Other then that, I haven't tried this one yet myself. Still testing another that seems to be working nicely right now for now.

What dialer are you using?
I've been using Minimal dialer recently, but my phone freezes everytime I do a conference call, or answer a call waiting, etc.

I am using Mr. Incredibles 3D dialer and so far it works great; however, I have not had to use Call Waiting or made any conference calls with it yet so I cannot say anything about how it would react to those things. Have been testing it for about two weeks now.

Alright, I'll have a look.
Thanks.
I still cannot install it
I have changed the rom so my elfin is clean but, the same error when I install Phonecanvas dialer.
Anybody help me please!
Same problem here
I search a Full screen dialer that don't have the top windows sidebar (which i activate with my ear!
I managed to install
Hi, i managed to install using this cab from http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44017. hehe i am not sure how to upload here
As by title...
I spent about one day looking for it on this forum (on the net too) for a wm6 "standard" dialer with videotelephony enabled that can work also on VGA devices (I've gota Diamond) but the only ones that I found are for QVGA devices...
It seems that the only one WORKING is the standard/sliding made by HTC preinstalled on diamond/fuze/and so on...
But I want to use videotelephony WITHOUT USE SOMETHING THAT EATS 10MB OF MY PRECIOUS PROGRAM MEMORY!!!
Is there someone who could hep me?!
TIA
PS: the better solution could be to have a videocall button on standard wm6 dialer...but I hink that's pretty impossible... (Obviously hoping that I'm wrong!)
pdaviet dialer
I used this one for a while, it does save a bit of ram but as I recall there were a few people that had some issues with it, like un-installing, I think sk tools will successfully remove it though.
First of all: thnaks for your reply uniqueb!
I remember that some time ago I tried this pcanavas but I don't really like it...if I remember correctly on my dvice it saves just 2mb in face of the original one (that has got also the slider)...so I decided to move over searching for something better...
Anyway, as I said before, thaks for the reply.
About a month ago I upgraded from my old trusty and excellent HTC HD to the new HD2.
After a few tweaks, haks and fixes and some downloads, I was extremely happy of my HD , in fact the only real improvement in the HD2 to me seems to be the much faster CPU (which of course is not a little thing)
However there are a couple of major gripes (or just lack of aternative options) on the HD2 that I find particularly unnerving, prominent among which is the excruciatingly bad Kboard.
It's even worse than the one I've got on my HTC Hero which has a far smaller screen.
On the HD I had installed "FingrKboard" which I found simply excellent; is'nt there something similar that would work on the HD2?
Or maybe do you think that the same .cab file that worked on the HD's wm 6.1 will also work on the HD2 wm 6.5?
Second major problem with the HD2 is that I still have'nt been able to find a (good and possibly free) registry editor for it.
I have read about some very interested tweaks for the HD2 in the threads of the forum, but they all require the use of a registry editor, which one would you suggest?
And again: would I be able to install and use one of those I had on the wm 6.1 of my old HD(1) ?
And last (and probably least too): would "Gyrator" ,be installable and working on the HD2 as it did on the HD1?
No eh?
And do you know of another app that would make the screen turn from portrait to landscape with all apps?
Even if you could point to the solution to just one of my conflicts with the HD2 , you would have accomplished your Xmas good deed by making very happy a poor afflicted geek.
This is the way you might earn your place in heaven, you know ?

FingerKeyboard worked on WM6.5 on the HD1 and works on the HD2. I found it to be superior to the standard HTC keyboard.
There is also a cab file that reduces the sensitivity of the screen on the HD2. This is supposed to make typing a bit easier although I have not personally tried it.
For registry editing, I use PHM RegEdit. It's a free program.
I use Resco Explorer and once you've downloaded that (for free), download the registry editor add-in (both cabs on the Resco site)

Resco Explorer will eventuall need a key to fully register the program. I do however second Resco if you can buy it.

The registry editor stays unlocked though. I actually never use the Explorer part but you're right, that gets locked after a few days so you need to purchase it (if you want to).
Try Swype as a keyboard. I found it on this site and haven't looked back! It has an amazing input method and is not as over-sensitive as the native HTC keyboard. Check it out....

I second PHM RegEdit.
Simple, easy to use and free.
Thanx fellas.
I had both PHM regedit and fingerkeyboard because I had downloaded and installed them on my old HD(1) and Samsung Omnia i900 ( of which I got rid long ago) , now I have installed them on the HD2 and they work great.
I wonder which other win 6.1 apps will work on the big screen and win 6.5 of the HD2.
Dutty (one of my heroes) for exemple had to modify Cyberon voice dialer to get it to work on the HD2 because as it was the standard version would'nt play together with the HD2., so not all HD apps would be usable on the HD2.
I wonder how Gyrator would behave in the new environment.
Oh, and thanks very much for the link too, very interesting and useful.
I hope I'll be soon able of being of some help too.
BSB tweaks for screen rotation mate
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
Thanx Carlos, I have already installed the awesome BB Tweaks and now I have also cheked the "show standard windows setting" box, but I still can't find the menu you uploaded with the screen turning option.
Where is it hidden?
Is there any particular option I should enable?
I have enabled nearly all of them anyway but hat option still eludes me.

Run BsB Tweaks and open the menu - Rotation is in there.
Hi there..
Dont mean to flame or anything like that.
But the title of the thread suggests that you arnt happy with the device.
So we start reading your post.
But its all just software features you lack or want to change.
And that does not really imply the hardware exclusive to the HD2.
@ Johncmolineaux
Thank you mate, I looked for it for 2 days, maybe I should wear my glasses more often.
@ Enonoid
I'm sorry if from my title you or anybody else got the impression that I was'nt happy with the HD2: I bloody love it man!
I just wished to find a few apps, progs and tweaks to which I got used with my old HD1 (which I loved too).
I also have an HTC Hero and a Nokia N97 ,which after Nokia changed camera lens, camera cover, GPS chip & software, installed ROM 2.0, optimized memory, and gave me for free one year subscription to the latest OVI maps for Europe, has become a great phone too; but the HD2 is my fav hands down, even though as an OS per se I like Andrid more than WM 6.5 (mainly because of the marketplace and the awsome free apps available).
One must be a brainwashed Apple fanboy not to like like the HD2.
Gyrator works fine on the HD2

Swype is the next generation keyboard, amazing. I am running it on the HTC Touch HD, although it will run much better on a capacitive screen, more sensetive the screen the better it will work.
Yes, Swipe rocks,but after BB tweaks adjusted the screen sensitivity of the standard kwerty, and the FingerKboard, they have become absolutely excellent too.
The only problem is that I can't put any of those in ladscape position.
I have tried to reinstall Gyrator but it does not seem to work on the HD2 it seems made for devices with styluses and resistive screens.
Did anyone find a way to type messages, notes, etc. in landscape?
