how do get a bigger rom for my wing i need more memory on my phone without getting a bigger card??? PLEASE HELP
Well, the easiest is deleting programs you dont use, that will free some more memory.
secondly try changing your pagepool. Here is a link to a thread about that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324955
Thirdly, the "hardest" (though not hard at all if you read my guide) is installing for example: TouchIT Lite. That has some bear essencials and a couple of neat programs. Though its made for Wings, there is currently not a "lite" version for Heralds
I hope this helped.

First a hello, since i am new to this forum, but very much impressed with everyones effort to pull as much out of these devices and software as possible.
I have been reading a lot about upgrading, flashing, bricks, problems, etc. This to increase my knowledge of what is and what can be. So, now i am thinking about upgrading my htc 3300 to WM6 and have a few questions i can not really find a direct answer for. I was looking for a all in one post or a recent update guide, but couldn't find one. Perhaps this can help others aswell.
Here we go:
A rom is like an image of the OS with certain applications included. You can flash this to your device overwriting the current OS and all of its applications? Does this mean anything i have installed like TT will be removed and i need to reinstall this?
USPL needs to be run first for all custom roms, but not for official HTC ones, then again it can't hurt to run it anyways? Does it leave any permanent changes?
Running USPL or upgrading to WM6 official or cooked has an effect on warrenty?
Are Custom WM6 roms or Official WM6, the real thing. As in it gives all the new functionality (*ahum*) that WM6 is supposed to or are the custom roms a 'simulation' to the real thing? Even if i read that the official wm6 doesnt have much to offer, will it increase performance or slow down things? Is there some post with all possible roms, custom included, like Mark, Meschle's, HTC, vanilla...
If TT is currently installed (pre installed actually), how can i reinstall this program or any maps if i happen to remove this. Is there a key somewhere i need to write down, can i make a backup copy/image so i can always put it back?
There are probably millions of questions more, but these are the ones going through my mind now. I am just somewhat cautious about changing anything to my new device, yet i really want the WM6 instead of WM5.
I hope some of you are willing to answer my questions or will i get a 'use the search function', cause trust me i have, there is just too much and its too much dispersed (sp?)

yes you need to reinstall all your personal applications, and you will loose all the PIM's data as well

It does not leave any permanent changes, once you upgrade to new ROM it will return your mobile to notmal locked status.
Running USPL or upgrading to WM6 official or cooked has an effect on warrenty? some official distributor may cancel tha warranty if you upgrade to your own ROM.

You can check the details of each ROM from below link

if you have backup program you better backup all the licensed softwares keys, because it will delete all preinstalled software.

You can read all the post regarding the upgrade from this forum and it is very helpful for beginners
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362
Too Much BA's ROM version makes me confuse...
how about u?
pliss suggest us.. which the best one... tq
There is no "best one" unfortunately. You have to try them all, and find the one who meet your needs.
Anyway, there are three Roms: xplode, sun_dream and PDAViet ones.
If you follow the instructions carefully, you will never regret dumping WM2003SE. I have so far not changed the EXTROM size (to keep the upgrade simple) and have tried sun_dream which was hugely better than the old O/S and then pdaviet ROMS which am using now. Suggest you read the threads on each ROM to help you decide.
Prior to changing to a new ROM I wrongly thought:
My phone might change into a brick.
It would not be as reliable.
It would run out of battery much faster.
Make sure your usb port is robust eg it does not drop in and out on your pc and that you disable PC spyware and virus checker before doing an upgrade as these utilities might interfere with the transfer of data.
Cheers,
Alistair.
its a choice... every ROM maker had a characteristic...
so, which one is suits you? try them all
is there any way to run a rom on the storage card insted of on the device its self???
or if not what files and folders could i move to my storage card because im haveing a really really bad memory leak. i mean it goes from having like 25mb free all the way down to like 4mb free and it will do that in less then a days time. i dont really know what to do to either stop it or maybe slow it down.
any help at all would be great thanks
oh also i am using the stock tmo rom
2.26.20.2WWE
radio 02.25.11
prtocol 4.1.13.12
extrom 2.26.10.105
ipl 3.08
spl 3.08
Your problem is the T-Mobile ROM. The carrier ROMs have HUGE memory leaks, that at this time cannot be fixed. I suggest that you upgrade to one of the new WinMo 6 or 6.1 ROMs, they are faster, more compatable, and solve the memory leak problem.
were can i get a stock winmo rom from that doesnt have a bunch of bs on it
Well, I would go with the latest version of the TNT ROM. Its pretty much considered the best, but if you want some variety in your programs, then go with S.V.I.s HORNET V0.5, as its got the most usefull program set out of all of them.
I can understand your wanting a ROM that doesnt have alot of programs in it, and I am sorry to say that there really isnt one anymore that is really minimal, but the 2 that I just told you about are still quite fast and stable with the programs that they inlcude, and they dont have any kind of crapware like the T-Mobile and other carrier ROMs have.
After you download a ROM, use the Wizard Service Tool to find out if you have a G3 or G4 Wizard, then read the appropriate guide to see how to flash it, or ask back here for more info. Happy flashing!
I read that the best way to get a base rom is to cook your own using FARIA but i have never tried cooking a rom before so idk if it would be a good idea for me or not i mean i got my wizard for free but i really dont feel like bricking it because i didnt do something right...
how easy is it to cook a base rom using FARIA
Meh, cooking isnt that hard, but if you plan on making your own, start with a newer kitchen as the Faria one is 2-3 years old now. Just read the instructions with whatever kitchen you use, and FOLLOW THEM TO A "T", if something is not matching the instructions STOP, and you should be fine.
which kitchen would you suggest for me to use since im a first time cooker
also do you live in florence ky if so what part cuz i live in villa hills
hi, guys....
i am new to the device htc 7510... but still get to purchase 1 regardless of my noob.... can some one explain to my what is hard spl, spl 3.5 and how to back up the roms and how to flash it and the purpose of flashing it... is it possible to change the os... to some other os, example linux or xp? lol... able to upgrade the ram? anyway to speed up the 7510? it is quite laggy with the default os... i still have a hundred question but i will be really thankful if anyone ans my question about these.. thanks....
anyone on christmas mood? lolz..z
thanks
loneice
Think of spl 3.5 as a modification to the file system, which allows a larger operating system to run. First used by the AP4 rom and still the only way to get it, if you want to try other roms that require 3.5. No you can't upgrade the ram except by adding a large SD card. You'll need to read up on many threads on this board to see how to unlock and reflash your Athena.
hi guys im new here and im new in all of this.
i just bought htc touch hd so i got some question.
1. my htc with wm6.1 some people told me that it will be good if i will upgrade the wm6.1 to 6.5 and my device will be faster'
so how can i do that? i need to buy the software or it is free?
if i'll upgrade the software all the settings and the software will be remove?
2. where can i find sites for free apps?
thanks a lot.
read the wiki!!!
has all your answers!
it is free
need to hspl first (sticky in rom dev)
it will wipe everything but you can back up your data
it will wipe your system but you can revert back to your old rom easily
find free apps here!
o.k what is hspl? what is ROM?
do you recommended me to upgrade to wm6.5?
how i backup all the programs i dont have the installations. thers a guids how to do that all?
thank you!
hspl is a hard second program loader. you need to flash that to be able to change the operating system on your device.
roms are images of the operating system. they provide windows mobile in different versions (6.1 / 6.5 / 6.5.3 or even 6.5.5) and additionally come with different versions of manila (aka touchflo 3d or in newer versions also sense).
these are very basic things that you should read more about before attempting to flash your device, or you will break it. it is not like "press one button - done". flashing your device means tempering with your waranty and bypassing locks, set by htc.
you should definetely read threads like the "dummy's guide to hspl and uspl" in the rom development section of the blackstone forum.
in that section you will also find the differnet roms provided here, marked with [Release].
have a look at the different threads to find a rom that you like from the screenshots and read through the experiences, people post with it.
also, a lot of basic windows mobile information can be found on wikipedia's windows mobile and blackstone pages.
and of course, most of all, on xda-dev's own wiki here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Blackstone.png
oh, and you shouldn't really back up programs, but re-install them on the new operating system, backing up too much stuff will cause your rom to run instable and slow. you should only use pimbackup, or MS myphone, or outlook, to backup personal data.
if you ever consider to go back to the exact rom you are using now, you could make a full backup with spb backup, but restoring that backup on another rom is highly un-recommended.
wwooww its complicated i think i will give up thanks anyway.

Don't give up. That's defeatist talk. Yeah, it is intemidating at first but nothing worth doing is easy. Just read and you will understand. I read and read and read and when I set down to do it I was able to install a custom rom without incident. That was a year and a half ago. I'm probably going to install a new rom soon so I will read and read and read again to refresh my memory. Part of the complexity stemed from there being two different methods of flashing the phone, iirc. If you give up on trying to mod your phone you might as well jsut have bought an apple.
