I was reading now for days forth and back here and in some other forums, ending up completly confused and not sure what I should do.
Please dont be angry with me for asking stupid question, I promisse I also will answer some as soon as I know for sure.
Here is the case:
I have an xda, I dont know which radio version (how to I get to know the basic informations about my xda inside?
I have some very strange looking stuff on that machine (bought it used over ebay)
I would like to remove all that crab and set the machine up fresh.
I know about the kitchens but could not make the roman one working.
I have an sd card plus reader writer (the card is an 128mb) the writer is from hama germany
I will try to make it short, is there no realy newby how to about how and what to do with the xda? I will write one in german and even in english with some help for the english version, but I need to have a start somewhere.
Please help, I dont mind the work and will be greatful for any help.
Thanks, this is a great place where people help each other.

Hi,
Tahnks to all which replied. I have started and found thr first steps.
Thanks again
hey there! does anyone know where i can get a \'kama sutra\' program/apps for the XDA II? I came across the Palma Sutra for Palm and i was just wondering if we have anything like that for our device.
Thanks!
it's easier to covert a franky vaugh DVD and install to SD card. watch the full movie !
i think Handango.co.uk have something along those lines, not sure if it's what your after
cheers
thanks nightwolf! um, but i was hoping for something like the Palma Sutra format, just pics and description. i\'m not really after the movie format.(besides, it\'s harder to get away with hehe =p )
Do you know anything of that format for our device?
here you go.
copy it to the device and run it from there.
Its very similar to Palmasutra.
regards,
Silver
Thanks
Great utility.
I'm going to start the field test tonight. :lol:
Thanks!!
Hey Silver!! Thanks, for the great help!
kudos!!
Sound good LOL
KamaSutra
Kinda limited ain't it?
XDA II stopped learning words for input text prediction
Hi! I badly need your help, after i did a soft reset, my device stopped learning words for text prediction. I understand that our device should be able to \'learn\' new words after we use them a couple of times, then eventually include it in the text prediction (the word that is displayed on top of the keyboad after typing a few characters) It used to work fine but after the soft reset, this feature failed to recognize new words i entered.
and now i\'m stuck with the default words it was packaged with.
I really need your help on this..What should i do?
Would appreciate any help. THANKS!
OOPS!!!
Sorry the post above was meant to be a new topic... sorry....
Anyway, Dr. Stein, I agree with you. I was only able to put it in my device last night and found out that it only contained a handful compared to that of the Palma Sutra.
It\'s too bad that it is really limited, and i\'m on the search again for a better version, one that has more coverage, i hope. (with all due respect to silver, still, i\'m grateful for sharing this with me.)
So, if anyone has a better one than this, pls pls, kindly share it with us??

Thanks Tekflow! i\'ve downloaded it but i won\'t be able to try it out til later when i get home... but it\'s always great to have something to look forward to! har har thanks again!

I have a 8125 and have been searching for a way to extend the keyboard backlight. Has anyone figured this out yet.
Need reg editor (I use Resco, a free version that I used to use on WM03 was PHM RegEdit but I don't know if it's compatible with WM5)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight
Change the value of QKeyLedTimeout to whatever you like.
nope - doesn't work on the Wizard Works on the Executive though

I'm sorry, but if I do a search, the only thing i find is that it works for the HTC Blue Angel, and NOT, I repeat NOT for the Wizard. So please, if there is a way Badmojo69, tell us, because I for one wants to know, but searching the forum only brings up that nobody found it yet, so please let us know where you found the solution.....
And I really want a solution for this annoying problem....
I remember searching around recently for this same thing. The latest dated thread that I read mentioned that there was no solution yet. All the ones I did find with solutions, .cab files, etc. didn't work when i tried it.
Would like to know how though if someone has figured it out.
A
I agree - nobody has done this yet. Lots of people looking for it...
Yea thats what I thought but I was hoping someone figured it out by now.
I've read in more place than one that no one's found it because it's set in hardware. Can't say it makes that much difference to me but you'd better prepare yourselves for a long wait if that's the case.
Ok, I have my Wing and im running touch it... its cool but this device is still slow... i have it over clocked and pagepooled... my brother has 8125 and its so much faster and i started to think that it was something wrong with my phone... Is anyone else having this problem? imean i touch the screen and it does not respond in realtime it sometimes takes up to 3 or 4 seconds... when writing messages it takes forever its just got to the point where it is very irritating... is there anything i can do to get my wing up to par where it wont seem sooooo slow?
Im not sure. Im overclocked and have pagepool at 6 and mine runs pretty quick.
Sounds like you may be overclocking it a little too far. Try lowering the OC and see if that helps.
Try installing a new Rom.
My T-mobile Wing used to be EXTREMELY slow with the stock T-mobile Rom on there ... it would always freeze and give me that little round hourglass thing all the time for the dumbest crap ... like checking new SMS msgs...but the moment I installed the PDAVIET v14 rom on there, the difference in speed was instantaneous. Afterwards, I installed batterystatus and overclocked it to 273mhz, and it runs like a charm. Installing the PDAVIET rom was the best thing I ever did, and I don't know how I survived this long without it!
^^^ thanks... how did you ever get v14 to install? i thought there were problems getting it onto the wingand it was missing programs...
My friend helped me do it, so unfortunately I don't have the exact process. From my understanding, you have to get past the CID check in order to install it since it's not an official tmobile rom.
Yeah mine is kinda slow too, do you really recomend installing that Touchflow thing (i dont know much about anything, just got my wing yesterday).

TouchFlo is just a specific application that's originates from the HTC Touch device... but people have ported it over into Rom's built for most htc devices.
Here is a demo of the touchflo, so you can see what it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ8TQ9Rr_7E
The touchflo cube itself is pointless to me ... it's just something that came out to make it 'prettier' and IMO it's just a gimic aimed towards the iPhone. I DO like that you can scroll now without the use of the scrollbars... and I wouldn't be able to live without that now that I have it.
I DO reccommend installing a 3rd party Rom on your phone, and you currently have the option of 2 roms.
There are other roms out there, but you want to make sure you install one that is specifically made for the wing, bc if you don't you're going to run into problems such as, the keys on the keyboard not lining up. The Tmobile wing is the HTC "atlas" which is a variant of the HTC Herald. The keyboard on the Wing (atlas) is different than the one of the herald, so when you start using certain keys/symbols, you get something else.
There are currently 2 3rd party Roms that are made specifically for the Wing , and they are
Touch-IT
and
PDAVIET
I am currently running the PDAVIET v14 rom and you will be surprised as to how much faster your wing will run just by installing a NON tmobile rom.... on top of that, you can overclock your wing with a program called batterystatus which will overclock the processor from the default 201 to whatever you want. Suggestion, Dont' overlock to more than 273-286 or so, bc your wing will crash.... but you can find some posts on this site where users discuss their clocking speeds.

The Touch-IT rom final just got released today, and is available for download here.
Touch-IT for The Wing Full and Lite Ed.
I am actually in the middle of installing this Rom as I am typing, but I have heard really good things about it ... so I am anxious to try it out.
I suggest you take a look at Tyler's guide to Wing Modding.
Newbies Guide to Herald
and also take a look at the Herald WIKI page which may help answer a lot of questions you may have.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Herald
If you have any other questions, you know you can count on everyone here to help you out. I personally won't mind helping you out with any questions you may have.
Wow thanx a lot, really helped me out a lot.
Not a lot of people will go all out like that to a newbie, so i really appreciate it .
Not a prob bro. Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with. That's the beauty of this place ... everyone helps each other... and I enjoy helping out, bc people help me out when I need it.

Hey Duprade,
Since I ran into a lot of problems bricking/unbricking the last time that I installed a new rom, I don't want to rush through it this time. I am kind of in the middle of the two roms that you said earlier, the touch_it and the pdaviet 14. Could you update us with your experience with both and which one you recommend personally. i am kind of leaning towards the pdaviet since i don't want some programs that come with the touch_it but i would like to hear someone more experiences comments comparing them as well. thanks in advance.... by the way my device is locked does that mean that i can not install the pdaviet v14 i thought the issue was resolved?
Totaly Lost Man! Help!!!!
I am currently running the PDAVIET rom. I was experimenting with the Touch-IT rom, but I am used to the PDAVIET rom and since I use my phone for work and all my work correspondence comes directly to my phone, I have to have it in working order at all times.
I would reccommend that you install both ROMs and test them both out to see which one you like best, because until you try them, you won't know which one YOU will like best.
If you follow the link I posted for the PDAVIIET rom, just follow the directions for the installation that I posted.
The Touch-IT rom installs using the ASERG method, which you can find the directions on installing it when you download the necessary files.
Okay, without flashing a new rom, and having to reinstall all my programs (speaking of that, Sprite backup didn't work for me, different story-comments?)
Is there any way to speed it up? Disable startup processes?
I've had to reset mine about 2-5 times in 48 hours...P I E C E O F C R A P...(not really a POS, just pissing me off)

there has always been probelms with this program, a shame cuz I heard they implemented a new feature allowing you to restore even after switching roms
Is there any way to speed it up? Disable startup processes?
for sure, just navigate to \windows\startup...a simple search of what is in that folder will let you know what you use and what you can delete.

A new favourite tool of mine since having the herald is sktools. I never really used it before but there is an application associated with sktools that allows you to imitate hibernation of the device which will bring your program memory to just below what it was after boot up.
hope that helps....maybe one day i'll even make a vanilla rom (hopefully someone will make one quiker) so that these problems with it becoming slow disappear.
cheers
Now the recent problem I've been having is that when the device slows down, and freezes up, it unfreezes and theres a part of the screen that seems to be "stuck" in every app I use, until I restart...WtF?
EDIT: Oh, and SKTools looks good, but I'm not paying for programs. I'm broke just from buying the Herald
Ok...so i have done quite a bit of reading on this forum for the past couple months. I purchased a Wing from tmobile and absolutly love it. I have since then changed to the touchflo rom and installed the battstatus and it runs like a champ, couldnt ask for more.
hey i'm new to this stuff and i tried installing a new rom but my phone is now bricked i believe, anyway to unbrick it?
That's why you are a real gem of this place. I see you always answer people's questions (many answers could be found by a simple search) promptly and patiently, including mine.
I'm waiting to get a good deal on a 4gb+ memory card, then I will try to install the PDAVIET rom, looks thrilling to me.
Thanks bro!! If you are in the same city as mine (Milwaukee), I'd buy you drinks.

Thank you for the comments.
Regarding your Rom, I'd actually suggest trying out ITJE's TouchIT 2.3 over the PDAVIET Rom at this time.

seasons greetings!
have another question thats been bugging me sinse getting my Touch HD. this question is probably the equivalent of potty training...One i know how to do it there's no stopping me....
i've been reading various posts on people changing the fonts on their phone (cab files?) and upgrading the ROM (?) and obviously adding software to their phone to, but i dont get any of it. the thing i dont understand is how you install software that i've seen (is there a specific place on the phone?) add cab files (to where?) and what on earth is a ROM?
the last time i did anything like this was a few years ago to Orange SPV 500 and 550, but it was much easier for me to understand back then as is was all pretty basic. but now? im confused.com
i guess what im looking for is a HOW TO guide that i can follow and understand. can anyone point me in the right direction? or am i going to have to pee and poo all over the living room carpet before i actually hit the toilet???
adios!
I am new as well, but as far as I can help:
A .cab is much like an .exe on your PC, you can put it ANYWHERE you want really. To install, you simply navigate to where you have put it on your phone through the file explorer and run the .cab from there which will install the application.
I don't know anything about Roms I am afraid.
how to
just type "install cab pocketpc" in a google field, i'm sure your find what your looking for in the first five answers. I know it's could be hard to understand but this is a though forum: if you want to learn from the beginning here you got to search a lot and read more. That's what i'vedone or you google for simple words.
PS: Put the cab in your storage card from activesync, open file explorer in ppc, click your cab, choose where to install ( on ppc for everyday use, on storage for big files). Continue to ask but in the right thread. In french : "tous les grands chenes furent des glands". Rom is the "windows" you got in you ppc, it could be arrange , or modify before by someone (adding or suppressing)
NB/ edit: apologize, you can find people like ScarySquirrel How could you have 116 posts without flashing once ?

I guess your'e going to have to "pee and poo all over the living room carpet" as you so eloquently put it. Just read up the forum and use the search, using context clues to figure what you want to do. Around these parts, people aren't very keen on spoon-feeding info to people. Also check out the Blackstone wiki as well. The blackstone is slightly difficult to mod for newbies at this point due to it being so new, but i'm sure in a few months there will be .CAB files for pretty much everything.
Try this wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
CABs are just like setup.exe files on Windows. I suggest you forget about ROMs if you are new for now.
