Hello everyone this is my first post on these boards and Id like to say after reading a
few posts its nice to see a well rounded forum with nice people.
As you now know I'm really new to the whole PDA cell phone thing. I just order a Wing from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320152545128&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=011
and I was looking for any tips or guides that could help me out with my first PDA phone.
I've had the Moto V220 and Siemens SK65, so this is a big upgrade for me. Any help
at all would be awesome, I'm looking for tips on how to speed up the phone, free room
and upgrade it to the newest software/firmware. And even some apps or games that can be install on the Wing.
Thanks!

Hi neggie, welcome to the board.
Yes, you're correct, we revel in our scatological prowess.
To partake of our love of all things fecal, please read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534
as an intro to the board.
Very little can be done to improve the camera quality as determined by the hardware.
However, please try looking through the wiki, top left corner of your screen, down one, turn left at the McDonald's. Many hints and tips for your device, read this before anything else, other then the above and this tautology.
I advise use of the program Tweaks2k, although most things this commercial app will do can be done for free if you read the wiki and the forum.

Ahh yes, the golden rule, and the WISE one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Like vijay said, it depends on your hardware, there is a big thread about a few cabs the improve the quality of the camera just do a search.
Another member hinted about take off the plastic cover also. Just search, limit results to the Wizard section it will help

Hello Every,
I've been a big xda-developers and i've gone to you guys many times in the past to help me out. I have just been talk into a ROM upgrade from my friend who has my Wizard and loves WM6. So i have decide that AT&T is taking too long on the WM6 release and would like to move on over.
Now i have gone through and read all the different upgrade from all the different ROMs, Black Majic, etc and i want to get everyone's opinion on which ROM is the best to go with for the 8525? I want a fast ROM that is fully functional with my ActiveSync for exchange and has some cool new features.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thread number 1,304 on this topic.
If you're an AT&T user, I would highly recommend vp3G's rom. It's very nice, especially since it's all set up for AT&T use already
GldRush98 thanks for the reply. I was looking for a link like this but i didn't see one for the 8525. Thanks for your input.
welcome to xda-developers... i suggest reading this and when asking questions... have a look at the Forum Titles... if its Windows Mobile 6 related (like this question is) the question is to be asked in there...
i always find this also a good source of knowledge...
hello everyone,
i recently purchased used att 8525. and i don't know anything about it. i had blackberries before and every single one of my blackberry has been broken. so i switched to window based pda's. And i have lot of questions for you guys
1. since my phone was used. it didn't come with any instruction or install software for my computer.....anyone know where i can find these?
i don't plan on hacking crazy on this phone. but planning on getting some gps software and games. Also maybe some better/enhanced operating system......can someone direct me to a thread or url?
And lastly, i really don't know where to start from as far as learning the phone and etc. Is there any thread where i can learn more about the phone?
thanks whole lot!

First off you're in the wrong section of this forum. The 8525 isn't the Kaiser or Tilt, it is the Hermes
Here you go this is where you should be http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=254

Hey !
Welcome to the world of 'flashing Junkies'
As a starter,read the XDA-Wiki and especially the following guide ,if you plan to upgrade :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Enjoy !
Thanks man, I read all that stuff just a few questions for you guys.
Will any Roms improve my Signal, and simply is it worth upgrading?
Hi and welcome to xda-developers
A radio rom will improve your signal, just make sure that it is specifically designed for the HTC wizard. If you try flashing a hermes or himalaya radio you will destroy your phone.
Is it worth upgrading ,you ask, well that depends on if you want to upgrade to wm6 or you want to upgrade the radio to improve reception.
All the cooked roms on here dont have the radio part included so that will be a seperate upgrade if you want it.
I have wm6 running on my xda mini-s and it works great for me.
How do I go about selecting a radio? Does it depend on my area or what info do I need?
Usually you get this by testing the radio's Where I live, i didn't see any difference on updating them, so I stopped changing it.
Ok well If all goes well I am very shorlty going to have the tmobile rom installed. Now to pick out one. I really cant seem to figure out which one I want there are soo many. As far as the radio goes where can I find those?
Hello all!! I've been gone for a while, I've been busy being sucked into the iphone trend, and this phone is about to bring me back to my senses. Before I left the community I was heavily into herald(wing) modding and tomorrow I expect to be running with the htc hd2 from now on.
I'm basically starting this thread in the hopes that one of you pro's can point me in the right direction. What do I do first? I'm well aware that stock software on any phone is crap, battery life stealing slow garbage, so I'm obviously going to need help with which Roms are recommended for newbs like myself. I remember before I turned on my wing for the last time, in order to install a cooked rom I needed it to be hardspl'd. Is there something similar to that with this phone?
I can't wait to see what WinMo software has to offer after my 2 year absence. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for the help!!!

Welcome back, you certainly picked the right phone to enter the fold again!
THIS thread (a sticky in this forum) has some great reference links to the kinds of stuff you'll need when starting out, incluing instructions on HardSPL and flashing for this device. One that's particularly useful is THIS link to a list of stuff that was extracted from the euro version of the phone, so you can add any of them that you want, that didn't get included in the T-mobile US version
