Hello all, I have an unlocked 8525 running the old cingular rom. If I upgrade to the new rom that htc has on there site will it relock my device?
Are there better roms I could use instead?
Also is there a way to make the the hompage have button like icons rather than the non finger friendly rows it has currently.
actually when I said homepage I ment the today screen.
Thanks in advance

hi guys,
i have a rather simple question but - due to my limited technical understanding - havent been able to find a simple answer on this forum ;-)
i have a t-mobile mda which i am running with a O2 sim. Now the software that came with it does not offer a key function which i would like to have, being an O2 user: the indicator that shows me if i am in my O2 home zone or not. the latest o2 software update adds that functionality, but i am not sure if i can install it on my mda.
is there a reasonable safe & simple way to flash my mda with the new xda rom?
would it be a good idea just to run the special edition rom exe-file?
thanks for answering newbie questions!!!
woody
i forgot to mention: my location is germany..guess this matters
OK, special edition works fine
No O2 genion home zone indicator either however. Is it save to flash to the mda with the latest original xda rom (3.19.01)...cause this would be my next step
thanks,
woody
I was a bit angry today to find out that T-Mobile UK won't be releasing the Exchange Messaging Feature Pack and Bluetooth 2 update until June!!!
I know I can flash my Wizard with another ROM, but I want to know exactly which one to use that is the most newest and stable available. I don't like the T-Mobile customisation very much so I'd like to get rid of it. Also, how would I restore the MMS settings for example? I can easily input the operator setttings if necessary or will I need to use an actual program.
T-Mobile have also withdrawn the last update from their website citing that it had faults. I'm using the original ROM.
Thanks for your time.
i also got the Vario with the 2.08 Rom, works very stable on my device
Is that a T-Mobile ROM? I want to use one of the Qtek ones I think so I get push email. Can anyone advise? My device is unlocked using the tool and CID unlocked but I'm not sure what that is!
Would like to get rid of the pink T-Mobile branded TouchFLO interface. What's the easiest way? I'd avoid flashing a cooked ROM, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

Check out that thread. Has a cab with the black manilla theme. Or you could choose one of the many .cab based themes that are around!
i really do recommend you just flash a new ROM instead of installing a new manilla. the T-Mobile ROM is so horribly slow you'll be amazed how much faster the 1.93 roms are!

I have to say that he´s 1000% right. I have also Vario IV and thought that no need to flash, only changed the Theme. After 2 Weeks me was boring and I tried the Romeos 1.4.1 Rom .... Fantastik how much ist the difference ....

All you have to do if you want to get rid of the touchFlo interface and not install a new rom is to get TF3D Config and download some themes for it and you will have a new interface look and no flashing of your rom.
TF3D Config v0.6.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Themes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV as well and now am using the original black Touch Diamond Theme interface.
If in the future, you decide to go back to the original T-Moble interface, you can do so using TF3D Config.
Hope this helps.
p.s. If you need any help just pm me.
how to remove the ugly pink and white T-mobile stuff
Hello people,
I just bought a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Netherlands), and the pink and white T-Mobile interface is horrible. All I want is the all-black HTC touch pro interface. I know that this question has been asked repeatedly, but I didn't understand the replies since this is my first smartphone, so actually i am a novice. Could someone please explain step-by-step how I can get rid of the T-Mobile interface and put the all black HTC interface on my smartphone?
Thanks a million in advance guys

Hi Chris I reccomend flashing a new rom, have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211, its a good guide, once you have completed you will be suprised, its like having a new device.
Greetings all, I am sending this message out to find out if there are any decent ROMs out there for my phone! I have flashed once so far, find the ROM is way to bulky and wish to find a smaller ROM! Telus of course!
current version info:
ROM Version: 3.07.661.1
Radio Version: 3.41.00
Hardware Version: 0001
Protocol Version: DCAAXOM-4350H
PRI Version: 2.05.010
I am using the Omnia Sidebar for my home screen (flawlessly intergrated) And I have also overclocked my device to 624mhz (again, flawless) If someone can help me out, it would be much appreciated!
If anymore info is needed, let me know what you need!
P.S. Kudos to ALL the guys and girls here at XDA! You guys kick a$$
Any replies, including mine are going to be a matter of opinion.
I personaly like NFSFAN's custom ROMs. Then again, they're remarkably similiar to how I was setting up my device prior to flashing to his. I originaly had the stock Bell 1.09.666.10, 3.42.50 radio, M2d customized to my liking, opera customized, and several other programs. Having all these things cooked into a ROM runs much faster than building them up after the fact.
You mentioned the omnia sidebar, this is not possible with M2D. Personaly I like M2D better as I scroll it one handed with my thumb. Having a slide on the side of the screen would not be my personal preference.
There are other options:
Stock WM6.1, customized with various widgets (kinda like yours!!)
M2D (also known as touchflo)
Throttlelaunch
Wisebar advance
Point UI
SbP mobile shell
Mobility flow
Music Flo
and many others you'll find on this site. It comes down to what features you want, what you use your phone for, and what you think looks the coolest!
For my opinion, read up on upgrading your radio to Bell 3.42.50 then flash NFSFAN's custom ROM.
The omnia Sidebar is fully funtional, however, I did not mention anything about about M2D! Don't get me wrong, its a nice interface, but, it has some what of a lack-luster for me! The Omnia Sidebar is a lot more pleasing to the eye and completely customizable as to where you can place the widgets! As for upgrading to a bell ROM, unfortunatly, I and a few friends (with Telus) have tried this, and we bricked our phones! With Telus devices the ROM has to be carrier specific or no carrier at all, there is no gray area! I do thank you for the advice and more is always appreciated
1. What I meant by "no m2d with omnia sidebar" was most custom ROMs nowadays use M2d.
2. I also didn't mean upgrade to the Bell ROM, just the Bell Radio. You do this by not letting the customizations run. Then NFSFAN has a custom Telus ROM that you would let the customizations run on.
You will find generic ROMS (non-carrier specific) that offer "clean" versions of wm6.1. You then need to set your carrier cab manually. There is one such ROM found here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30332i
With google you should be able to find more.
P.S. I do know some peopl at work on Telus ROMs with the Bell radio. GPS is faster locking etc. You shouldn't brick a phone with a bad flash.
If you can but it into bootloader mode (tricolour screen), (hold the camera and power button down, then press the soft reset button). It isn't bricked, just waiting for a ROM.
Best of luck on your search, hope you can pimp your phone to your liking.

Well, I finally found a ROM that suits my needs. Its small and clean, and yes, its a M2D ROM. I now have the chance to add in what ever apps I want and still use minimal resources of my device!
The rest of my knowledge is going to be put to good use here. I hope I can help to the best of my ability with the rest of the guys and girls here at XDA!

Good to hear you found a suitable ROM, while you might currently have switched to M2D, the great thing about our phones is the ability to switch back and forth. Can't do that with an iphone! Have fun with it, hope we can all help each other out, that's what a community is for!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Cheers mate
Hey guys,
I need the help of those who have the T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus with the original T-Mobile WM 6.1 ROM Update (preferable the English ROM).
My Touch Plus was updated on Saturday at T-Mobile Hungary with the English 6.1 ROM. Everything seems fine, but the icons in the Settings and Programs are much smaller, so there are now 4 icons in a row, not 3. It’s very annoying because some of the icons overlaps each other, and I liked much more the 3 icons in a row version. I wonder if it’s a bug in my T-Mo 6.1 ROM or all the 6.1 ROM are like this? If someone with the original T-Mobile UK 6.1 ROM could check, that would be great. Also, I’ve read somewhere, that in 6.1 you can turn off the recent program list. I cannot find where. I only found the HTC Large Start menu icon, but that was in WM 6.0 as well.
Thanks in advance.

Nope, T-Mobile calls the Touch Dual as Touch Plus.
Anyone?
I'm sure that I'm not the only one with a WM 6.1 Touch Dual...
