Xi-art Towers, can't get it to work...

Hey yall,
eversince I use PDA's I got this game called "Towers", by Xi-Art.
Best game ever is you ask me!
But now I got a HTC Wizard, and I can't get it to run Towers! suxx...
Does anyone know how to get this game on?
It does work on other wm5 devices, but it's not officialy wm5 supported...
check www.xi-art.com for more info...
Thanks!

I've got the same problem with the Apache Sprint PPC6700. I wrote to support at xi-art, which used to be good. They've never answered. I even offered to buy Towers again if they made it for WM5.
I guess we can give up hope on xi-art doing anything.

I've just re-emailed them, asking if they are still in business?

getting a HTC Mogul

hi everyone,
i dont know if im in the right place, but im going to be getting the HTC mogul in a few months and noticed on ebay they had auctions for $99 with new activation, but you cant get a SERO plan. why is that and how can they sell the phones so cheap?
i noticed that most ppl in the hermes forum are using the 8525 or Wing and dont see any mogul users. is this because its harder to make roms for cdma devices or because not many have the mogul yet?
sorry for the newbie questions. thanks in advance for any help!
PS. keep up the great work everyone! ive installed and fully customized my "i phone" theme and now its a hybrid device that contains the best of WM5 and i phone. kudos guys!

hmm...
if everyone is gonna ignore this thread, can someone at least point me in the right direction? thanks.

Sorry can't help you as I have never heard of it but I did google it and there are some hits. You might try that. I have never cared for sprint or cdma phones so google is about the best I can do sorry
d

i meant if i were to get the mogul, would i be able to flash it with the hermes roms thats you can find here? i obviously wouldnt be able to use the radio files since they are all GSM, but i just wanted to do some research before i get the mogul from sprint. i noticed most ppl here have GSM phones. is this a development page strictly for GSM or would i be able to use the information found in the Hermes thread on my Mogul?
thanks in advance and keep up the great work everyone!

The mogul is a different device then the hermes (its the htc titan vs the htc tytn) it has a different cpu along with the radio (and more memory) I think flashing a hermes/tytn rom would be a very bad idea.

thanks for clearing that up for me! now...where can i get titan roms?

I am pretty sure the Wing is a new machine. But as far as I know the Mogul is a Hermes. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?

I can confirm the Mogul is NOT a hermes.

for crying out loud...
the MOGUL IS NEW!
Its the HTC TITAN (not to be confused with the TYTN), which is a CDMA-only model, which does not directly resemble anything else HTC makes.
Its also known as the XV6800, or PPC-6800.
It is NOT the Hermes, the Tytn, or any other HTC device.
This is one of those few times the CDMA carriers get something GSM does not...
See? This is what happens when the mods decide not to dedicate a new forum for a new device... no one knows whats going on!!

I emailed Telus asking when they were releasing an update and they said they didnt release that information but to check the telus site periodically. So.. basically they are covering their own butts here. Which I can understand. If they give a release date and cant follow through people will do nothing but complain BUT if they go.. SUPRISE heres an update.... people will be thrilled

Could you please direct me to a site that would show me how to upgrade my Bell HTC Touch phone so that it has GPS capabilities. I have been searching around but not sure exactly which ROM/radio I need to install.

Sorry for the late reply, the site where I downloaded the Bell ROM from is;

You have to scroll down to pretty much the bopttom of the page then click on "OMJ Bell ROM"
Have fun!!

I'm new to all this Windows mobile being on the Nokia Sybian for the last 10yrs can someone Help i've upgraded to Rom 1.66.405.2(76641)wwe on my HD2 but i've seem to have lost the weather app below the clock. Instead it just says my location. is there any way to get it back.
Also i'm using the stock rom from htc as i'm on Virgin Mobile can I use the cab files for the themes & icons:confused people have made on this site as they look great.
Cheers

Hi,
I have just bought a HTC HD2 from T-mobile to realise I can't upgrade the ROM through the official HTC website.
I would like to know from Virgin Costumers whether they have tried to upgrade the ROM of their HTC HD2 through the Official HTC website and whether it worked.
I am asking this because I am still on the trial period and also because of warranty issues if I try to upgrade trough another route apart from the T-mobile's...
So, the question is...
Have you got a HTC HD2 from virgin? Have you upgrade the ROM through the HTC website?

Have you turned off the weather tab at the bottom on the Sense bar? If so, you need it back on to show weather...
As for .cabs, etc. any ROM can use them (I think!!)

Froyo 2.2 & HTC Legend

Hi,
Please forgive me as I have been searching everywhere online and on the forum for my answer.
I have a HTC Legend (Virgin) that is unlocked - Running on Rogers.
1st Question: Is this phone Rootable? I have heard yes and I have heard no, based on the firmware that it is presently running.
2nd Question: Is it possible if the phone is rooted to flash a Basic 2.2 Android Rom (I personally don't use HTC Sense)
The reason I am asking as HTC Announced that 2.2 Will not be updated until Christmas time.
And Before anyone says I should have bought the NEXUS One - The reason - THE SIZE
That phone is huge, I previously had an Xperia X10, which was TOO Big and I quite like the build quality of the Legend.
Thanks for all your Help! I Greatly Appreciate it!

Yes the phone is rootable, but you're right it depends on what version you currently have installed. Check out the android development section to figure out what you can and can't do.
Froyo at christmas is incorrect.
Htc has said all current devices will have froyo before christmas. However speculation says the legend itself should most likely have it in or around august.
Next, if you manage to root your phone you can talk a look in the android development section(again) for the legend and you will find 1 or 2 froyo roms have been ported semi successfully. They work and run but have a few minor problems.
One is the cyogen mod 6 (I probably spelled it wrong)thread.
You cannot flash a stock version of froyo to the legend, you will have to use one of these roms.
Hope I could help. I'm looking at getting the virgin mobile legend myself soon. are you happy so far?

Thanks
Thanks for your info! I was just feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info as I am not really up with all the lingo.
To answer your question about the Legend, I love it! The build quality is Superior, it just fits in your hand so nicely, and looks good there as well.
I have had MANY cell phones in the last 5 years (Well over 40...) and this is one that I know I will keep for a long time... More so than the iPhone.
Cheers.

Did you succeed with installing 2.2?
Thanks!

Hey,
To be honest I took it to an Unlocking place in Vancouver, It took them aprox 20 min to complete, It still has a few Apps for Virgin/Bell on the phone however no where does it have the Virgin Logo Etc. I use the Rogers APN Settings rogers-core-appl1.apn and it works flawless with 3G
I have not been able to get 2.2 onto this phone at this point, I may just wait until it's pushed out by HTC.

This sounds GR8!
I'm waiting for my Legend to arrive any day, now...

Do You know what they did to the phone? To unlock it i mean....
I ordered Wildfire but changed my mind and changed the order to Legend...
A good choice i think...
Been using my KAISER for a looong time now and it's time for a retirement, i think
Just installed Donut Android on my KAISER but it soaks battery so i think i have to revert to WM 6.5 again....
I think i'll use it as a backup phone for some time
Does anyone know if tom tom works on Legend?

The unlock was done through the store so not quite sure on how it was completed. I have seen many websites that offer the unlock.
In regards to TomTom try the Google navigation. It's amazing. Works great and integrates with your contacts and the mapping program quite well. I find the voice to be quite rough. Hopefully they'll allow changes to that after its out is Beta.

Doesn't Google Navi go online to get positions?
Could be costly, wouldn't it
I'll try it out though
Tom Tom has the maps in map folder so no online search and so on....
regarding the unlock thingy i guess someone figures it out so we can do it ourselves
Maybe somewhat like the KAISER unlock i guess...

Where did you buy it?

I bought my legend at Virgin (349 CAD) and am running Rogers as well, to unlock it you need to purchased the unlock code from HTC by providing the phones S/N. Their are lots of places online that will provide the codes for $10-20, I haven't been able to find a free source.
Currently their is no software unlock for this phone.

Heard the n1 has already got froyo..i hope it wont be long for the legend & desire

I have the Virgin Mobile (Canada) HTC Legend and can confirm I was able to successfully unlock it for usage on Fido/Rogers. After this I upgraded the rom using a gold card to a stock HTC rom to remove the Bell/Virgin crapware.
After this I found the downgrade path to 1.31 which has successfully allowed me to have the phone rooted. Now I just need to wait for a good rom to be made with sense. So far all the roms I have tried do have their own issues like, camera problems, pinch zoom functionality...
