) I am wondering if it's possible to run a SSPL on Excalibur like in this thread on the Breeze.
Maybe anyone can shed some light on it...
So far I managed to dump the ROM from my Excalibur and modify it but since the .nbh must be (really) signed it's not possible to flash it back.
Thanx alot for any information
thanx to pof (you're everywhere in this forum ) I have got this information in Excalibur forum:
pof said:
SSPL has an hermes or trinity IPL embedded, that won't work on excalibur. The hermes SSPL works on breeze because breeze & hermes IPLs are quite the same, but compare them with an excalibur IPL and you'll see what i mean.
You can probably replace the resource on the exe with an excalibur IPL, or try to contact Des for help with SSPL.

So if I understand right I "only" would have to replace the Hermes IPL-Data with Excalibur IPL-Data in this SSPL and chances are good that it works.
So the SPL generated in RAM can be the same?
hmm - I will see what I can figure out even though my programming skills are a little bit rusty...
Of course, you must also patch it to bypass nbh signature checks... This was the "Holy Grail" achieved first by Des.
Yes I have read about this - the SSPL.exe generates a (patched) SPL in RAM so far I understand - and this SPL (generating code) can remain the same, am I right?
You need to patch ipl so it doesn`t hang on boot. we didn`t do it with breeze as it is the same as hermes. In spl you need to patch the cid check and nbh check function. Also, it`s omap, not samsung - the addresses are different

OK - I think when I do the wrong patch in IPL and phone hangs on boot it will be nice paper weight...
All in all I believe that's beyond my experience, even though I did some (6502) Assembler programming years ago and also a little bit C and scripts for Unix and DOS.
But this SSPL would do all I need (my phone isn't SIM/Net-locked).
So what about a deal for the experienced guys here:
Instead of paying imei-check for an unlock that is only worth the half of SSPL (because I cannot flash cooked ROMs),
I would pay the 20 Pound (30 Euros/40US$) to that guy who manages to get it running on the Excalibur.
Alternatively (if this guy got the open source spirit and doesn't want to be paid) I would spend the money to this wonderful, great forum itself.
What do you think?

***** OK, I would do the same, so it´s 20 more for motivate the guys. No kidding... ***** Let´s stop being selfish.
i'm willing to pay 10 $ to anyone who's willing to help us out, and if you don't want it, i'm willing to donate it to this forum - i'm sure there's a lot more people who'd be willing to donate.
i've tried with copying RILGSM.DLL from another model of HTC, but doesnt works.. SIM card is accepted fine but can't start phone mode I think we need to crack RILGSM.DLL or trying to downgrade B/L for trying a method posted several weeks (debranding+unlocking)
great, we have two members including me ready. i'm sure there's many more members ready to do this - 40 $ right there - c, mon people - let's help each other out, we all want to upgrade to windows mobile 6, i was this close to paying IMEI when i realized, why pay IMEI when i could help our own community? please help, if noone's willing to do it, tell me how to do it, i'll try - even though i'm unsure but i'm really good with computers, i plan to take networking and telecommunications too - i might be able to do it, i don't know, i'm sure if me and a couple of others can join together and play around - we'll surely get somewhere, it won't hurt to try, i don't mind waiting a bit more to upgrade to wm6, i want to help myself and the others. if every other community can do it, why not us? we have a huge community that uses htc excalibur. so why not support the right cause and get somewhere? look at others, almost all devices have their free sim/cid unlockers then why not us? like i said, i'm willing to donate and help - i'm free at the moment as i'm on vacation from university. just tell me - i'm really interested in getting this done - i don't want to pay IMEI. 38 $ for CID unlocking according to me is steep and that's why many members are holding it off.
i have tried the bootloader method too but it doesn't work - i get the invalid vendor id or something, i forgot but yeah i get an error so yes, my device is CID unlocked, however - it's SIM unlocked by default.
i'm running Windows Mobile 5 on my Htc s621, it's application unlocked and security prompt off, i have access to almost all programs too. i'm familiar with the registry hacks, programs etc. also, i have all the windows mobile 6 roms and i have all resources available too, i'm sure i do.
let's do this, cmon !
p.s: i think it's 3 members incl. me ready to donate !
that's great, i like egosumpaul's attitude, even though he isn't too good at computers - it's the determination to help that speaks.
Update:
Spoke to Rogers - seriously, they are a bunch of idiots, i was sent from tech support to customer service to the data department JUST FOR ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: IS THERE GOING TO BE A WINDOWS MOBILE 6 UPGRADE FOR HTC S621, can you believe i was asked what's htc by one person and another person tells me sir you've had your phone for less then a month, you can't upgrade it, i'm like what are you talking about? i'm talking about a software upgrade, not hardware upgrade, i never said phone upgrade, i said software upgrade - no product knowledge whatsoever.
Spoke to HTC - don't know anything either.
i guess the best bet is to CID unlock our phones + Install the Russian WM6 ROM. i'm serious about my offer, i'm willing to donate + work towards the cause. i've done some programming but that's ok, i'm willing to research and learn, just need to go in the right way, help a brother out. both me and egosumpaul are determined to do this, i need more support - wheres are the donating members and knowledgeable members at? HELP, PLEASE
so it's me - r0p3, egosumpaul ready to donate.
We need this one to be able to flash cooked roms, i myself tried to flash a customized ROM made by me for Excalibur but didn't work. I hope that this would push through, i am willing to help if there's any that i can.
*HINT*
TOUCH SSPL loads up to step #2 on excalibur . Haret started OK but exited leaving Excalibur in BOOTLOADER mode. Just ask Pof what to do next.
it should not be much different to TOUCH.

Well done
@Shaun33
Great work. I downloaded it, not tested jet, but it will work for sure.
Thank you to fulfill the request!!!!!
wow! great work.
I already have a working cab but i wish this was around when I was trying to first make it - good work - I'm sure a lot of people will really appreciate this! Now if only we can get one to configure and edit dialing plans
First findings...
Hi Shaun33,
Thanks a lot ! It's really a great initiative from you to write (and, mainly, make it available for everybody) such a program ! I have gave it a try, and have notice some small bugs, or better put, behavings not according to what I was expecting. Here are my first findings:
1. Not properly an error. Just an improvement, perhaps: I had already a Voip provision working on my device. So, it would be nice if the application could read the provision file, and bring its contents to the screen, beforehand. So, users could make small corrections only, in case their provisions were not working properly before.
2. This seems to be a bug, though: as I have not seen my provision on the screen, as stated above, I've decided to exit the program without making any changes, for what I have tapped the soft button "Exit", many times, but the application has kept running. I've had to kill its corresponding proccess to stop it.
Hope this post might help improving your your great application further. I'll try to keep you informed.
Thanks again !
Carlos
feature request
nice and useful app. thanks.
adding "dialplan editing" feature would be great.
in fact it would make the app complete.
following post would be helpful in this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1224031&postcount=454
Definatly, adding a dialing format editor would rock!
something along the lines of
Code:
+nn (nnnn) nnnnnn
where '+' is the international dialing code (replaced by 00)
'(' and ')' are alphanumerical characters expected
n is any numerical digit
' ' is a whitespace between other values
just to enter a simple string rather than \D{2}-\? etc...etc...
The exit button will be fixed.
How could i miss that .
The Dialplan is going to happen.
Im aiming for something like asterisk
07XXXXXXXX will match 0711111111 - 0799999999
As i said version 1.
reading the settings from the OS is a little harder then coding it... As the API is one way...
still looking
fantastic work, much appreciated
Shaun
Thanks for producing this great timesaver. Even in its V1 form it's already WAY more convenient than having to fiddle with _setup.xml, cabarc, etc.
I look forward to seeing your version that can save and load configurations and dialplans.
Thanks again

Work Perfectly ! You are a boss !
Thank
Ps: if you possible to add in your soft, the region ( ex: USA) to modify automatique ipdialplan !
fantastic work, much appreciated.
Will test it with Dutty's rom
Shaun33, this simple little program is going to save a lot of people a lot of headaches. May I include this in my WM6BE ROM?
Hello,
Anyway to get the same cab that works on HTC VOX with WM6 ?

PRE-ALPHA RELEASE WITH ITALIAN TRANSLATION (experimental)
The preview release that was posted for download is now available with some minor improvements on the project site. This is the location you'll need for ALL future downloads of the program.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=221052
- A hex editor is in the works for the data portions that we don't have specific editors for.
- The team is 5 people now and we're all still finding our leg (I think), work still pushes on and hopefully we'll have full support for Hermes soon and move onto the next image type.
###################################################
OPEN SOURCE - DEVELOPERS NEEDED!!
I've decided to open source this project and have created a SourceForge project for it. The SourceForge project url is http://sourceforge.net/projects/visualromstudio. Anyone who's familiar with ROM image formats, HEX editing, C# and Windows Forms. If you're interested in helping with this project please PM me with your SourceForge unix name and a description of what you can contribute.
I've managed to configure PushOK/CVSNT/WinCVS/Putty to work as a SCC plugin to VS2008 and it works very well. It took about an hour to setup, but it makes working on this through the SourceForge CVS MUCH easier. I'll gladly share this info with anyone who needs it especially if you're volunteering for the project
###################################################
PREVIEW RELEASE
This release should be considered PRE-ALPHA!!!!
This preview release is a read-only release. This release will allow opening of ROM images (nbh files) and will display the contents of them and details of the pieces that I've been able to discern so far.
There is LIMITED save functionality which will allow ONLY the saving of data FROM the ROM image. This release DOES NOT include functionality to add pieces/files back into a NBH file and save it.
I am working diligently on this application and I'm still planning on putting something out this weekend (RL willing) that will at very least allow the swapping and saving of the NB portions and the replacement of the splash images. If I get a fair amount of time in this week on it, I'm really hoping to allow adding of new files to the OS images and saving of the NBH file itself.
I appreciate, as always, any feedback you may have.
Here are the files (.Net 3.5 Framework required - Developed on Vista x64 tested on x86)
Visual ROM Studio (RAR)
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5
###################################################
Well, this is one of my first ever posts. I’ve been an avid reader of this forum and have benefitted from many people’s hard work on different ROMs and CABs. I’ve been waiting for someone to come out with a visual ROM studio that would allow us non-perl gurus to cook our own special flavors of installable ROMs. I never could find one, so I decided to make one.
The goal here is to create a easy to use GUI allowing a person to open an NBH file and edit anything they like within the “.nb” portions of the file. This IS NOT simply a wrapper around a bunch of perl scripts that extract everything to your hard drive and does managed file browsing.
That being said, the perl scripts originally written by itsme were my base for beginning and he has been gracious enough to assist me in my transition of his perl scripts to an object oriented C# (.Net) desktop application.
Here’s the first milestone for VRS (Visual ROM Studio). It’s now able to open an NBH and list the basic image info as well as build the first level of the tree structure representing the sections of the image. Hopefully in another couple weeks I’ll be able to add additional levels and the splash image preview stuff.
If anyone has any info on reading the formats of the “.cnb/.nb” pieces for the various entries inside the DBH structure; I would welcome any and all insight or guidance that can be provided.
Thanks to itsme and pof...
1) The splash and sub splash, image editing is in place now.

I think extended ROM, I was playing with that a bit the other day and realized how simlpe that structure is.
I'll keep updating this post as I reach new milestone.
I'm really gratefull that so many more senior members have been so willing to help in this project, thanks again guys!
Wow
This I predict is going to be one of the biggest tools to come out as to date.Will this do do Extended Roms as well, or should Shaps Customizer be used?

Extended ROM will be one of the last things to be done, more than likely. I'm getting the core stuff in for now. My hope is that it will eventually be able to edit all facits of an image.

Looks good, This can change the way we want roms instead of relying on cookers.Extended rom part is usually the easy anyways.Something worth mentioning, Radio editing lol like cid(spl,ipl editing).You made an alpha version yet btw?
Looks awesome, i'll keep checkin in for it. And i'm not sure if anyone can really help me with this, but I need to know all the basics of editing the ROM. Thanks!
This is SUPERB news... Finally someone is willing to make a noobkitchen
I've been looking for something like this for a long long time!!
Thanks for the efforts...
This should be a sticky!!
Thanks

I don't see a reason why it couldn't. My goal is that a final release would have been tested on at least a WM5 and WM6 (Std. & Pro.) for each phone listed on the XDA forum main page.
It's ambitious, I know, and it will take sometime.
BTW: If anyone out there is a C# developer familiar with WinForms and more specifically OO. If you'd like to help I can tear you off a chunk and this can get done even quicker.
Completely new here, and after two afternoons of reading, this is my first ray of hope
I was really disappointed when it got clear to me, that I would rely on other people to get an own customized ROM, with only those apps I need. All existing ROMs here are overloaded with applications I don't, and so is my shipped ROM...
Looking forward to see your app growing,
As I looked out for a smartphone, I always imagined customizing easy like nLite/vLite for XP/Vista, your the first one, giving me that hope back
im eagerly waiting for this release.
pre-congrates and thanx from me.
this is a very good idea, keep up the good work
dear freind
tell me please where can i get it?
with my regards
Whenever you can put something up for us to mess about with (particularly for Typhoon/Tornado), please let us kick the tires.
Wow...Looks promising

Introducing DONATE, a cool little application that lets you take donations via PayPal directly on device!
Donate is so easy to use and build, there's not a whole lot to say!
Want to see it in action?
Download from here: http://donald.modaco.com/apptodate/donate.cab
TEST OEM package (feedback please!): http://donald.modaco.com/apptodate/donate.oem.zip - remember to add your registry entries, see below!
Customising
Of course, if you are bundling this in your ROM, you want to customise the donate paypal email and the note. Well, you can! Simply create 2 string registry entries...
- HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\Donate\Alias (with your paypal email) and
- HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\Donate\Note (with your donate note)
...and it'll be picked up by the application!
Including in your ROM
To include the application in your ROM, you need to include the following files:
Donate.exe - install to a location of your choice
Programs menu shortcut - of course
donate.xml - this must be installed to \Application Data\AppToDate - see below!
AppToDate
If you are including Donate in your ROM, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you include AppToDate too (details). Why? Simply because, if the PayPal mobile site changes to break Donate, I will be able to immediately roll out a fixed version via AppToDate that your users will then pick up!
Add to that, AppToDate is damn cool anyway
Hope this app is useful, feedback welcomed and a couple of screenshots are below!
P
PS If you're asking yourself 'Why have I created this?', I just wanted to know if it'd work

Great Tool
Now to add this in! And then roll out the update to my ROM using A2D!
Added a test OEM package, please let me know if it works!
P
I didnt understand the XML in the OEM Package ??
btw i have included a2d and Donaate in my ROM
The XML is to allow Donate to update via AppToDate!
(i.e. the initflashfiles should copy it to \Application Data\AppToDate if it works, and it should appear in the apptodate menu).
Don't forget your registry entries so the app is populated with your donation email!
P
Paul, do your useful apps ever stop coming?
Again wow, im not a cook, but these small things are so useful...
What about rom2date? or is that your next venture?
Rory
ROM updating directly on the device would be just awesome, but it'd require the assistance of someone with more intricate knowledge of the workings of the SPL process to make it happen.
I guess the answer would be something like...
- Download ROM (OK, so it's big, but over WiFi or 3G/HSDPA it's feasible)
- Initiate Soft SPL pseudo bootloader
- Initiate flash via the device itself (emulating a RUU type thing)
- Sit and wait
I think someone like Olipro perhaps would need to share his wisdom as to whether it's possible. Would be awesome tho!
P
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
This works. Other devices can do this as well I believe.
Hmmm. Assuming you WERE happy to download a 75MB file or whatever on your device, it should be possible then
You could even implement it now by packaging the NBH into a big ass CAB file?
P
Can you create another donation customization ? I can't get a paypal account in Vietnam. I suggest moneybookers.com as we don't need any card for that account
THX
Thanks from the Merlot Comp.Germany
Great app, but i reshacked the exe and replaced the icon with this one, so if you like it you may include it in future release of this software
I definately will include it in my next rom

I've tried to cook into my next rom but can't realy test it (donating to myself) but it conects and it's looking sweet and the paypal icon would also be better I think as people then would not dought what it's for.
and thanks for this app
I'll be cooking this in to my next ROM, although that may be a while coming as I have exams for a few weeks soon
@Gullum: Change the link and donate to me!!!
Nice work, will update to this icon
P
Good job Paul!
If I ever make a ROM I'll include it
Now I had another idea, why not add some functionality...?
I like writing programs and while everything (up to now) is freeware but a donation is appreciated.
I'd like to include your program to do this or a link to it..
The MyApp would fill the following registry entries:
- HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\Donate\<APPNAME>\Alias (with your paypal email) and
- HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\Donate\<APPNAME>\Note (with your donate note)
- HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\Donate\<APPNAME>\Currency (could also be helpfull, or pick the default currency of the device)
- HKCU\Software\MoDaCo\Donate\<APPNAME>\Donated (1 or 0 for yes or no)
Donate would then show a list of installed apps for which the user can donate, similar to ApptoDate
The app writers could have their app check if Donate is installed and if it isn't show a link where it can be downloaded (cab)
What do you think?
I saw a comment about adding other payment options (moneybookers.com) not sure how this works,
but mabe it can be incorperated in the "alias" entry : "paypal:[email protected]" if you decide to go that way.
(if in the above case the paypal is ommited paypal is assumed, just to make sure that the older entries will keep working)
Could work Mr_Gee, will have to check if you can specify a currency in the paypal payment form string... I think it currently picks the default currency for your account?
Moneybookers support etc., only feasible if they have a mobile payment interface?

I personally don't care for any other payment option, I only use PayPal, but
I assume there will be people who use other companies.
maybe in one of the next releases
As for the currency if it picks up this information from the paypal account
it seems Ok to me, it was just for the recipient (and sender) so they wouldn't have to calculate the amount that needs to be send..
e.g i'd like 5 euro, but someone in the UK then needs to calculate how much that would be in GBP (I assumed that GBP would be there by default)
anyway looking forward to the new version
I have began having an interest in modifying my tmobile wing. However; there is so much that is possible, i have no idea where to began. I am interesting in the touch-it rom, but scared at bricking my phone. Also, have read about the pagepool tweaks. Where should i start? Some help would be great. To whomever responds, Thank you.
T-mobile Wing - Stock - SPB Pocket Plus - If you need any other Info please let me know. Thanks.
i was afraid of flashing too but did it two days ago and it's a very simple process that will not damage your phone at all.
however, i got open touch 5.2 original and hated it so went back to the stock rom.
if someone can point me to a ROM with zero problems and is as close to the stock ROM as possible please let me know.

Let me start by welcoming you to the boards. First and foremost, although i'm sure you already have done this, go read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
It has a lot of information about modifying your phone. As far as what rom to go with? Your going to have to make that decision on your own. Personally, i like open touch and touch it, but there are a lot of other good roms to choose from. Just read around and you'll see. Each rom has its own quirks, and none of them are going to be exactly what you want to the T, but that is because these guys cooking the roms take a lot of time to build them for us, and special orders would be just to much.
Welcome and good luck modding!
P.S. Flashing is easy, so is unbricking, just make sure if you try to go hard-spl that your phone is compatible before you do it. Main way to actually brick these things. Also read as much as possible before you start.
Maybe you should go with HTC Home. That's what I did cause I didn't want to flash or anything either. I didn't wanna ruin an expensive phone. And after all, it IS a phone. It's main purpose is for being able to call / receive calls. But yeah, HTC Home is nice. Here's what my phone looks like as of now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once you get HTC Home, you can get HTC Home Customizer. It lets you customize your phone even more. As far as programs (.cabs) you can use, there's alot. I use quite a few myself. I use..
Slide2Unlock. It's from the iPhone I believe. It acts like a screen saver for your phone. You can lock your phone if you want to, but using this is just as easy. It's kind of cool, but not a must have.
JiveTalk. I use this as my Instant Messaging program. I used to use Palringo (and technically still do), but Jive Talk seems better to me.
pcShutXP. This cool little tool basically lets you Soft Reset or Shut Down your phone. It's nice to have and use after you install something and you have to restart.
Total Commander. This is a registry editor program. You don't need this unless you plan on doing any registry editing basically. It's definitely useful though. You get to see everything on your phone.
Battery Status. This program shows the status of your battery on your home screen. It also lets you overclock your phone. It's great.
Large Start Menu. This makes the start menu bigger. It's definitely nice to have. Especially if you use your finger.
Soft Key. This lets you change your soft keys on your phone. Those are the buttons on the bottom of your today screen.
iPhone Calulator. Pretty obvious one, lol. The regular calculator is ugly.
TodayAgenda. This one is nice. It's for your appointments/tasks. It creates a scroll bar on your today screen so if you have a bunch, it doesn't take up alot of space. You can change alot of things within the program.
Other than that, I have custom wallpapers, ringtones, icons and themes. Use the search feature on the forum and you'll find all this stuff your need. If not, I can help you. Hope this helps.
You must want a new ROM for some reason. Is it bcoz the stock one is too slow? Opinions differ on what is the best for beginners as stated before read read read. But basically almost all the Custom ROMs have their own spice and if it is written on the ROM it can't be replaced easily. Personally I use Just2Clean becoz I want to do my phone from the bottom up and eliminate a bunch of extra unneccessary files.
Basically just absorb as much info as you can and feel free to ask again on anything small or big on this thread that is what a community is for to help no matter how big or small the issue.
I'd start here...

You can flash these ROMs without Hard-SPL. Just follow the instructions for the USPL. It's so easy it's Armyproof. I'm using OpenTouch 4.0 Lite and it's great. It freezes up once every 3 days, unlike the stock ROM which freezes 3 times per day. And since it's not a Hard-SPL, you can go back to the stock T-Mobile ROM whenever you want. (Not like you ever would...) Once you feel comfortable with USPL flashing, Google "radio 3.21.90." it's the newest radio version and it'll boost your signal, with a slight decrease in battery life.

Well, all I have to say, is there is a TON of information on here. I know I read for about 2 weeks before I decided to Hard spl. There really isn't one rom that is better than others, and the only real way to tell is to try flashing to each of them and see what you like and don't. I've flashed to every rom on here, and prefer the Open touch series. I'm running v 3.0 and have tweaked it so it flies. Just make sure you read a lot. You definitely don't want to end up bricking your phone. Really, Hard spl'ing is where you can have problems with bricking, but as long as you read, you will be fine. I would recommend hard spl though because it makes it a lot easier to flash roms. If you have any questions, just pm me. I know a lot of the terminology was a little confusing at first too.
Remember to visit the link on my sign.......
Thanks
Thanks to all who have replied. Have been digging through the forums even since i posted and doing some reading. Hard-SPL seems the way to go with a slight risk. I am interested in the TouchIT roms, But think i will start small with the ROMS that don't require Hard-SPL (whatever the heck that means!) lol! I will post back my results in just a few days. Don't forget to check back. Thanks guys!

Yeah, the uspl (non hard spl) method is a lot safer, so that's prob your best bet until you feel more comfortable with it. All the open touch series don't require hard spl. I'm not sure about the touch it series though.
Thoughts
okay. After doing some research and digging through the forums, looks like i am going to try the Open Touch 5.0 biggy. However; one thing i don't understand is if something were to go wrong and wanted/needed to go back to orignal settings. What files would i require to flash back to orginal? That information seems to be a little condiluted to find. Any help would be great guys. Thank you.

first off welcome to xda developers!
secondly take some time and read through some of the threads, find out wat suits your needs.
third, android is becoming a big hit as far as upgrading.
Welcome always glad to have a new face
the opinions are endless what you really need to do is start reading any forum that peeks your interest and ask you questions in them we are all willing to give tips but we can't tell you what is going to work for you nor can we do the customization for you
Personally the first thing i would do is unlock the phone and flash a custom 6.1 or 6.5 Rom and then i would make sure you can get GPS if you have a Verizon phone there is a few tricks to getting gps unlocked
after that i would take a good look at the "Android OS" by google and the open hand set alliances its all i ever use and far better then anything by Microsoft, the best part about Android is that it does not effect your windows Mobile system in anyway. in short its like having a duel boot system on a pc
just search around there is a lot of information and fell free to ask question inside of existing forum to get more specific answers
Hey, welcome! First off, it really depends on what carrier you're using. For example, my Verizon vogue came with crippled EV-DO and non-existent GPS. I had to flash my radio before updating to a custom ROM. However, if that's already working for you, a great start would be to put Android on your microSD card and boot it up - it's a huge leap from WinMo!

i have verizon also
NFSFAN just released a new WinMo 6.5 rom. I'd give that a shot. There are plenty of tutorials in /Vogue upgrading. I'd also recommend you try Google Ion. It runs from your sdcard so there is no flashing or anything required and it runs quite fast plus you get the android market with tons of free apps.

Hey, so you'll probably be fine if you poke around for tutorials, it's pretty clear once you do you're research. If you feel lost poke around in your settings for the about page, and post what version of WM (6.0 or 6.1) you're running, as well as the radio if you see it.
If you don't see that, check to see if you have GPS location working in google maps. (These will tell you if Verizon has locked you out of GPS and the fastest EV-DO Rev. A data speeds. if you're in WM 6.0, you can unlock, flash a radio, and flash a ROM, if you're running 6.1 you have to do a longer process to circument Verizon's obnoxious policies).
Post that here and me/someone will tell you you're next step .
gotta get rid of today screen
first thing you gotta do imho is to load a new theme. I would start with spb mobile shell 3. That one is free for a couple of weeks. Once you load it you can add a bunch of add ons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697&page=270
Then u gotta add s2u2 and s2p:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523
U just getting started. Games, aps, etc... are plentiful. There are a few threads here and on ppcgeeks that have links to many touch software apps. Just do a search and try not to get overwhelmed.

Okay, so if you don't want to flash your ROM the valhalla CAB on the XDA wiki will give you location in google maps, and you already have a good radio (3.37.78, I think, giving you fast download speeds). If you want GPS in android or in other applications, or just want to try out what custom ROMs like NFSFAN's have to offer (speed, stability, features from newer HTC phones), there are tutorials to unlock your GPS. (Like this one, but careful, flashing risks bricking your phone, if you are't reasonably careful!)
Also, if your using Pocket IE, search XDA for Opera Mobile 9.5 in qvga or Skyfire - both are waaaay better.

ok well if you have WM6.1 by Verizon you have some work cut out for you but here are the tutorials i followed to get unlocked gps
What I did 1st was follow the instructions on this page:
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS
that will give you an unlocked gps
next follow the instructions on this page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...VerizonAGPSFix
They are meant for the xv6800 and the website for the tools is down, but the instructions are the same.
You need wmodem drivers and you need qpst.
You might be able to type ##3424 into your phone and hit send, or maybe ##3424# then send, or you might need to go to system tools->phone codes->diag
That puts the phone in dmr mode.
or if all else fail i used a program called nOpen
in the file line enter
/Windows/DmRouter.exe
command line
/DIAG

}
the get qpst working, read from the phone, go to the GPSOne tab, and check off all the boxes on the left. For the PDE IP address, put 216.198.139.92. Port is 8889, then IP as protocol and PDE as calculation method.
Next write back out to the phone, and it should reboot.
Next you need to update the registry with the same IP address and port, ppcgeeks has a regedit that takes care of it here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=815901
Good luck!
if you need i still have all the files i used
just pm me and i will see about up loading them for you
i know it seems like a lot of work but is not as bad as it looks just pm me and i can walk you thought any question you have (i hope)
