I just want to share my recent issues so others will be able to avoid what I am going through.
If you have a Windows Mobile from Softbank (X Series such as X05HT HTC Touch Pro) and are thinking of changing the ROM so you can actually use it, be VERY CAREFUL.
I went through the fun of learning how to install a cooked ROM and was pleasently supprised when everything went well. ROM installed, English was working, Internet was working everything seemed great...
About 2 weeks after I did the ROM upgrade, we got a call from Softbank about our charges. 500,000yen (yes, about $5000US) for Internet Access Packets.
It turns out that the settings applied by Softbank to your phone create the wrong Access Point, meaning your phone uses a AP that is not part of the packet houdai (all you can eat packets)
There is a fix however, so if you are planning to update your ROM with an English one, make sure you use the attached (for X05HT & X04HT only) to get the correct access point.
Otherwise you will be in for a nasty supprise come billing time.
I hope this post saves some people time and pain.
Big thank you to s2k7 for his help on this!
Updated file attachments. Please download and follow the instructions from WIFIWake-X05HT.zip. If you have a X04HT, download both files.

Ouchies. Did they have you pay that data fee?
I just pulled the sim from my 923sh and put it into my diamond and flashed a wwe rom. I found another thread here that says if you go with the AP settings that the connection wizard gives you, it sets you up with the [email protected] ([email protected]) AP. This one charges per 30 seconds as opposed to packets used. Luckily I switched away from this to the OPEN AP soon after.
My Packet Full starts on February 1, so this month I am data-less. Last month my bill was 20,000en. Nowhere near to yours, however. I thought that SB sent a text message at 50,000en (the day after you reach this).
I will give this wifiwake a shot and see what settings it provides. The other thread, created by Larsuck seems to say that if you are on the packetfull (5985en per month max) and with open settings, you shouldn't incur fees.
What kind of email account do you use? Did you set up some kind of gmail and use pop3 with the mail client or do you have an i.softbank.jp account?
Thanks,
Kevin

This is true, if you run the WifiWake you will get the right settings. I confirmed with SB that I was no longer connecting through the wrong AP after I used WifiWake.

I use gmail and Exchange. Exchange is the best as it has direct push, but you need someone with a server to set up an account for you, or have one at home. The softbank mail for me isn't worth the hassle, but perhaps that's why I never got a message saying I was over 50000 yen?
Good luck with the WifiWake.
it sounds dangerous when im in doubt if I am using a white plan service (not the packet houdai) and saw my AP all exactly already signed as the AP above: [email protected], will it cause any troubles?
it depends. if you dont stay connected and only use a small amount of traffic you will be ok. otherwise you can expect to pay more then what your phone is worth in just a few days.
WakeOnWifi newbie questions
Hello. Can someone explain to me the following? Where do I execute this WakeOnWifi file? On the phone? On the computer the phone syncs with? I just tried executing on my phone but not sure if that worked since I didn't see anything particular on the screen happening. Also, do I need to execute this every time the phone boots or just once. And how can I check whether my settings are cool now?
My setup: Softbank X05HT, EnergyROM 21903

How to set up SoftBank's NEW data connection on non-SoftBank ROM
Curtosy of itamae
Step 1. Run either ConnSBM.CAB or ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB for your purpose.
* ConnSBM.CAB: make a connection, overwrite WirelessMgr_Service.dll and enable hidden proxy (webopen.softbank.ne.jp:8080), it is fully compatible as X01HT's standard connection.
* ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB: just make a connection (no WirelessMgr_Service.dll and hidden proxy installation).
* The connection will be created, however password entry is still empty at this moment.
Step 2. Run ORE2cert.cab (self-signature certificate for WIFIwake.exe).
Step 3. Copy Out.xml and WIFIwake.exe (self-signed) into \Windows folder.
Step 4. Just RUN WIFIwake.exe from \Windows.
* The password will be created into the connection made by ConnSBM.CAB.
* To confirm whether success or not, check the connection "Internet > SoftBank", and click "Edit -> Next -> Next". If "****************" is shown at the Password field, the password has been successfully created.

Luckily with the help of some free legal experts from the SHOSHINSHA SENTAA" (消費者センター) in my ku, we were able to demote the charges to 10%, but still ￥50,000 for one month of data is like 1995 prices..
My recommendation to ANYONE on softbank with a Windows mobile or even an iPod/iPad is to make sure you are on PAKE-HOUDAI and if you change your ROM, ensure that you run the WiFiWake application above.
NOTE the WifiWake does not give a prompt or anything. It takes a split second to run, and you will not see anything. To check that it has been successful, follow the instructions above to check the password exists.
How does this compare?
Thanks to all for the clarifications. Couple of follow-up questions. I downloaded and installed the tool that's available here and it seemed to do the trick as well.

How is this different from teh WifiWake tool? And also, in the same thread someone says that you absolutely have to have "PACKET FLATRATE FULL" to avoid any issues. Is this the same thing as "Pake houdai"?

That looks like it might be a newer version. I don't know if it will be any good or not. I can only atest to the WifiWake app.

This ZIP is only for the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. You can try running the contents of the zip on the Desire, but there are no guarantees that it will work. You might like to PM itamae as he seems to be the best source of knowlege on the softbank AP and getting it running.

Hey, I can't remember what the extra packets were charged as when I got caught out by this. But safe to say, if you haven't installed and run the files in this thread on a new ROM there is a good chance that you are getting caught out too.
Check your access point. If when you installed the new ROM, you let the connection wizard create the data connection for you then you will be using the wrong (I.e. expensive) access point. If your access point is anything other then open.softbank.ne.jp then you have the wrong access point and need to run the attached

i am having a problem with browing any website on my PPC, the problem is that when i try to open any webpage it stalls on 1kb and it only opens the page partially.
I read another post and they managed to solve this by selecting the correct encoding which was Western European. is there any other possible reasons why this type of behaviour will be experienced on the device?
hope te hear from the superior knowledge of the forum members.

I had that problem when I used one of the custom roms. When I flashed the stock t-mobile ROM, it went away almost completely. Once in a great while it'll happen but I'm talking like twice since going with a stock rom. Couldn't tell you what the difference was as the stock rom performance was fine and I didn't really care enough to look into it further.

I'm pretty sure it's a connection issue (I've had similar problems with, say, non-CrEme 4.1 + Toonel pre .54 combinations - see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/ConfigureToonel45.asp for more info).
BTW, what ROM do you have?
MTU settings could it be the reason ??
Hi
Just to let you no, recently i travelled to another country and i decided to get a sim card and test my device in this country, surprisingly it worked fine i could browse with no problems.
only from in my country on my network do i get this strange behaviour.
Do u think its related to the MTU settings ? if i adjust this then mayb it will allow me to browse, judging from your response i noticed that this option that you suggested is to reduce bandwidth usage therefore allowing to view pages faster.
Thanks kindly
reo
Yeah, this seems to be a problem with your wireless operator. (You could still give a try to it in a, say, inexpensive, GPRS-capable "dumb" phone like the S-E t68i / t610 connected to your PDA / notebook)

You can surely give a try to Toonel (I've BTW linked in Toonel because, under WM5, the (old) Java version has exactly the same problems with old(er) Java environments - I've elaborated on this problem a lot in my articles. That is, the problem was similar to that of yours).
thanks for your help it is most informative, i am currently loading the toonel to test and i will post my results here.
thanks again

setup using newer versions of the program, i hope it does not create an incorrect behviour.
setup toonel have just a quick query
Hi
i have managed to setup toonel version .50, using creme 4.21. i have pIE and this all on a WM5 OS.
i did not utilise the link i just executed directly from the toonel.jar file.
now it is running but i would like to just clearify that i done it correctly.
about the connections i used the method u suggested and created a new connection under the top selection which is used for programs to connect directly to the internet and named it toonel, and made all the adjustments on proxy, i also put the details of the modem which is the GPRS connection for my country.
now i am ready to use.
i have a question about the tab in Toonel called WEB, is there any setting that i should have setup in here, it has a an option called Parent Proxy address.
Regards
reo
HI
ok, i had to reset the device for things to start working properly.
now i hve to use the link, it doesnt set creme as the default JVM. so after i execute i get an error saying **cant find class client.WebUI
im sure there it is a path issue, but not sure about where is the web.ui
reo
Don't struggle with the Java version - use the new PPC-based one. See http://pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/ConfigureToonel54.asp .
(Sorry, I've linked in the older Java version because it produced exactly the same symptomps under WM5 as yoour case, not because it's the Toonel version I recommend for you.)
hi
ok, i see. the behaviour i am experincing you noticed it using Toonel java version.
have you get any ideas what could be causing my problem ?
Now we no that it is probably a problem at my network, however is there any way to over come this ?
i actually noticed 1 thing, Magician S100 QTEK works on my network properly!!
any ideas what could be the difference ?
what are the chances that it is related to the UAProfile ? if so how could it effect the browsing ?

no luck with toonnel with "unlimited internet tzones"
now that tzones offers "unlimited internet" ( http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2006/12/got_tmobile_tzo.html ) I tried to use toonel with my wizard to speed up the connexion but didn't have any chance ... I tried the 3 versions on http://toonel.net/downloads.html (I even installed the Creme JVM) though ... some ports must still be closed ...
any idea/comment anybody ?
PS :
the good thing with "tzones unlimited internet" is that I can now use opera mini, gmail java, google maps java, etc ...
i had the same problem with uk tmobile. i called them and they said it would be fixed soon-and a few days later it was!!
maybe call your network provider before messing with your phone settings

i know im a noob but i have a few important questions i need to know.
1st. Can you use wifi without the data plan? I bought a unlocked qtek to use on cingular and i was wondering if using the wifi on my home router was free. I really dont want to see a surprise data charge on my bill lol.
2nd. If i bought my qtek unlocked, does that mean it comes already pre registered with the wifi G or do i have to install the cab i found on xda forums to make it G. Thanks again!

Hi ipodlover77 - welcome to the forum. Using wifi as you describe is free. With some of the newer roms it is already set to G, but if you have the same rom as me (see my signature) it will not and then install the cab you found - if you use the one i made it will affect the wifi settings only
oh, then can you please give me the url of the wifi settings you made? will the settings work on a unlocked qtek, used for cingular? thanks. and also, is it possible to stream youtube videos form the site on ur qtek? and finally, (sorry, i always have a lot of questions ) how would i know if im using cingulars data charge on wifi or my own? when i scan for networks on wifi, will it says like "pay"? thanks again for all the help.

My cab is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=254420&page=15&highlight=wlan
Yes the settings will work on an unlocked qtek used for cingular. You should be able to stream youtube videos via your wifi router although only those that suit your screen size will prob work properly.
You should never have to pay to cingular for using your wifi on your home router - to test this you can switch your phone to flight mode (phone radio off) and wifi will still work. The only time you would have to pay for wifi is when you connect to a pay wifi hotspot and then you would have to subscribe to the service first.
so what is the difference between the wlan g tweak and the wireless plugin tweak? and also after downloading the right one, do i just move it to the memory card via usb and open the .cab over the phone? thanks

Try this then - (from coolsmartphone.com) TinyTube.net continues to get better and better. They've now made it even easier to find, send and watch your fave YouTube videos on your mobile. Take, for example, this YouTube video. Notice the URL - it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCLYGoM1GrU. Now, if you'd like to watch that on your mobile all you need to do is type http://tinytube.net/watch/RCLYGoM1GrU into the address bar. Just copy the "RCLYGoM1GrU" bit and stick it on the end of http://tinytube.net/watch/ - this can then be used or forwarded to any mobile user via text or email as the address to get the video.
TinyTube fill a very important "gap" that other sites such as Google video have already plugged - being able to convert the Flash-based videos into 3GP format for viewing on mobile devices. TinyTube.net have now added an "SMS this video to a friend" feature for the USA with plans to roll out elsewhere soon.

2nd) what is the fastest rom? Im using the updated qtek firmware and it is VERY slow. And i was wondering if there is a rom, that does everything the qtek rom does but alot faster.
3rd) how do i take that fricken vibration when i send a text message? I hate feelings the vibration for only sending a message.

Hey you have set up your own thread for Q's lol. First change your name to Wizardlover77 and we are in business!
If you just turn your wifi on via comm manager it will automatically search for you. Others use wififofum http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1020
Plenty of roms out there - which rom are you using? i.e. the numbers
There is molskis rom that gives you 30mb free ram and farias new 3.2aku rom just to mention a couple. Browse the wizard upgrading for a week or so before deciding to upgrade and you will need to decide if you have a g3 or g4 chip - ipl numbers - .001 = g4
Change your notification settings for messages in settings\sound and notifications not to have vibration.

Sprite is the only app that can restore after a ROM upgrade
ok. So when i turn off my phone, it says some data will lose? which exactly will the device lose?
and also if i turn off my phone. does meschles Wifi G tweak, erase? it says its still installed but are the settings messed up or is it perfectly fine still?
ok I thought of another problem. like I said before I don't have any data plan on my package so I'm surfing wifi over my own home router. ok so I found this really cool site that actually streams the videos to my phones WM. is this costing me data I don't have? the videos streaming url was like mms something. just want to make sure its not costing me money. and lastly do they charge me for downloading stuff from the internet straight to my phone while using my router connection? thanks in advance!! happy thanksgiving everyone!
My operator (Orange UK) has decided not to include live messenger in their ROM. Is that something I can install easily afterward? How would I go about doing this? Do I need to app unlock the phone first? I don't have much experience in installing apps on WM6 so any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hey, i work for Orange and have a touch dual also. Im pretty disapointed that the 'Windows Live' services are missing from the dual, but are present on the Touch.
I was referred by a colleague in the web support call centre that he downloaded the file from a link on this site. (Thats why im here) He found it in the TyTn II forum, but the file is compatible on any Mobile 6 platform... if i find it, i shall post the link for you (if its allowed)
hey, thanks for that. It is a bit of a shame how they removed it from this phone.
As you work for orange, do you know if they are planning to introduce any data tariffs like web n walk? I wouldn't mind paying a tenner extra a month if I could get 1GB of data anytime..

Hey! No worries.. im having problems wading through 178 tyTn II pages... the search feature is utterly useless.
Orange has something called 'Anytime internet' on PAYM. Its £8 per month, and inclused 30MB iirc. When it first launced (back in August) it was unlimited usage upto 1GB.
The Wireless Data Card for Laptops tariffs have just been updated to compete with 3's cheap plans, but i hope the new data plans for handsets happens soon.
Although, i get mine all free
I'm on the £8 a month tarriff, but to be honest 30MB doesn't really cut it compared to Tmobile and 3's tariffs.
Would you mind keeping us posted of when you think these tariffs might be upgraded for handsets? You're lucky you get all yours for free!
Now back to MSN Messenger - i've got a feeling we may not be able to install it even if we wanted to ask the phone might be 'app locked', and as far as I know no ones got a hack for that yet.. or I could be wrong..
I found the application on this forum, just tested it and it works on my Orange Touch Dual!
in1234, i will keep you posted.

Right! Iv'e done it!
1. Follow this link HERE and download the Windows Live file to your PC.
2. Connect your device using Active Sync. And use the 'Explore' feature on AC and navigate to you 'My Documents' folder.
3. Disconnect the device and navigate to your documents.
4. Double tap the Windows Live install program. Install the program to your device and its done.
I also added a few other programs from the above link, inc the stand alone Messenger
Go with Fring ! And forget MSN !

Hello Together,
here's solution on how to get Blackberry Connect running on Topaz:
Instructions:
------------
- Make sure you have uninstalled blackberry connect before doing the following.
- Attached you will find a small zipped executable (EnableBBCTopaz.exe). Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Open a registry editor and navigate to HKLM\init
Create a new string with the name "Launch130" and a value of "EnableBBCTopaz.exe" (without the quotes of course)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number higher than, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe ist started after every softreset.
- Make a softreset, or execute the EnableBBCTopaz.exe manually.
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Topaz" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.104, 4.0.0.106 didn't work for me -- just hung up after a restart)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.

The solution is in fact the one from Rhodium forum, the respect goes to them, in particular to c0rnholio. The instructions are also copied from their thread. I just changed the program to fit to Topaz.
hi gnick.
Thanks a lot for providing a solution for this issue, but I cannot get it working...
The Client keeps stating: "PIN Pending". When I try to register the account the data tunnel gets established for a second but then it gets disconnected again.
The SIM is working fine in a Blackberry.
I already tried to reinstall the BB Client several times, but I always got the same results.
The device-ID is set to HTC-Raphael, so that shouldn't cause any issues.
Additionally I tried to kill the bbmain.exe and suspended the log and security services and reenabled them after a few seconds, but still no success.
If you have any further hints on what to try, pls. let me know...
Thanks in advance,
TheOmen666
Which blackberry client version do you have?

Hi again,
I tried with versions .106 and .104.
Same behaviour with both versions ;(

Hmm, hard to tell, really.
Which provider do you have? Your provider needs to support HTC Raphael.
Mine (Vodafone Germany) does support HTC Raphael (Touch Pro).

Thanks for the tip, but I too cannot get it to work. It did work in my HTC Diamond (that's Diamond "1", not "2"). I wonder - can you change the programme to suit the Diamond 1 instead please? I mean Diamond 1 instead of HTC Raphael. I wonder if this will make a difference.
By the way, does anyone know if RIM will bring out any software to make this all work?
Hi mitsi, did it work at the end?

Hi Gnick, partly. I got it to work with stopping the Blackberry Service and then activating the programme (your one) after a soft reset. However, after every soft reset, I will need to do the same process.
Open MemMaid
Stop Blackberry Service
Open File Explorer
Start your programme
Open File Explorer
Start BlackberryMain.exe
Close File Explorer
Enjoy emails.
This is too much like hard work, so I think I will be either selling my Diamond 2 and going back to my Diamond 1 or keeping both, using the Diamond 1 and waiting for a better fix to become available by subscribing to this thread (and others) and hoping that decent clever chaps like yourself will come up with a fix!!!
By the way, one other item that needs fixing is that I am only able to have my work email on this. I do not have the Blackberry Secure Internet (the one to send service packs and add other email accounts). So I can't get my home email..
There is one other alternative by the way:
This is to write a Mortscript programme that does this tedious process automatically.... I have made enquiries to someone I know....
@gnick
Thats a good point, asking for the Provider...
Well I checked the websites of T-Mobile Germany and the last device I found, where you could officially download the bbconnect client was the "Kaiser" (Mda Vario III, HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt ).
This means, that I either have to get rid of my Topaz or convince you to make a special version where the model-id is set to the one of the Kaiser (I only found "KAIS120") but I am absolutely unsure wether this is the korrekt model id used for the bbconnect client.

Hi All,
I finally got it working.
As I am running WM 6.5 on my device, I had to change the AKU String in the Registry HKLM\System\Versions to ".1.6.3".
After changing this, I got a PIN and could do the Enterprise Activation with my account.
Thanks a lot to all for the effort to get this working on the Topaz.
Cheers,
TheOmen666
Hi All,
I too got it working. I followed the tips on this thread and on the one by cOrnholio with the following notes:
AKU set to .1.6.1
BBC version 104 worked (106 didn't) just as you said gnick .
Blackberry still crashes Manila sometimes when deleting the last email and exiting tmail.
I cannot activate my other email accounts as the Blackberry Browser (I think this is BES) does not load, even after the prompt "The internet connection is currently in use by the BlackBerry browser. Would you like to temporarily disable BlackBerry browsing? Yes/No". Once disabled and refreshed, it still does not connect. I think I read this on cOrnholio's thread.
Sent mail from pc does not redirect mail to the sent mail folder on the D2 but into the inbox instead.
The soft reset problem still exists, but it does at least work. My D2 has now had emails for the last 3 days.... Fortunately the D2 is more stable than the D1 so soft resets are required less often.
My thanks go to gnick and cOrnholio for this. I can now use my D2!
By the way, I have made some simple shortcuts which make the process following a soft reset simpler:
Add shortcut to BBMain.exe to the start menu
Add shortcut to MemMaid to the start menu
Set MemMaid to re-open at same page in Advanced Settings
A couple more tips for new people at this:
Be patient. Sometimes you can try the same solution more than twice and get different results
Be patient. The IP Address and PIN don't always appear immediately.....
Regards
Hi All,
Me too.

Hello mitsi, setting the "Launch130" key in the registry to EnableBBCTopaz.exe as described in the instruction in the first posting should ensure that EnableBBCTopaz.exe starts automatically befire BBC. This is the "clever" way to autostart it without doing any manual work. If it doesnt autostart, that could mean that you have a spelling error in the regkey name, regkey value, or that you havent placed the file in the \windows folder.

Hi gnick,
I must admit, I haven't checked this, but I have had problems before with Blackberry. Because our IT Dept in their wisdom have set the security to lock the phone after 60 minutes of inactivity, I keep having to unlock it. I have a Mortscript programme which does this for me thanks to EdSub, but it would appear that Blackberry takes a higher pecking order after a soft reset so the Mortscript isn't activated before Blackberry, no matter how I try to configure it. Therefore, I suspect Blackberry will start before your programme too, so it would then think the phone is a D2 instead of a Rafael immediately after soft reset.....
If your Blackberry has the Security Policy set by your IT Department, you too may have this issue, but otherwise, it may be possible to start your programme before Blackberry starts.
Isn't it all rather silly??? The things we do to get our phones to our liking eh???

It shouldn't take longer than a few minutes. You may be able to help it on it's way by going into Blackberry settings, then in the Utility tab, press "Register Now". Then if you go to the Identy tab your PIN and IP address should appear hopefully.
nothing appens when i press "activate now "....
same probleme with a touch hd ...Bes account has been reset ...but pin and ip still pending
i'll wait ...
want a good new : already broke my digitizer yesterday :s got to change it ...
News from HTC
Hi All,
For your information, I sent the following question to HTC:
"Dear Sirs, I have an HTC Touch Diamond 2. I have requested information before on how to get Blackberry Connect working on this phone but had the response "we don't support third party applications". This is fair enough, but please see this link: http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=497&news_id=61. If you support this on other HTC phones, then why not the Diamond 2? Do you have plans to develop this further? I would appreciate your help/comments on this please."
I received this response from HTC:
"New Response From [ Mike (EU team) ]
Hi Paul,
The link you found is for Asian devices, not European ones.
Blackberry Connect is not supported by HTC Europe and there are no plans to release the 3rd party application or test its compatibility.
Please contact Research In MOtion to see if there is compatible version for your device.
Best Regards
Mike"
Hopefully they will change their minds in the future. Has anyone tried RIM?
mine worked 2 days later
had to wait only because my orange data network was pending ...
now it works perfectly
Hey guys, got a couple of questions quick so any help would be great =)
I know you can set people's contact card pics as their facebook profile pic, i've done this for everyone successfully, just wondering if there is any way to make it auto-update (i have unlim data plan), or a way to update everyone on one click, the only way i can update them now is to go to each individual, open their online albumn, then edit the contact card, and let the new pic download, surely there's a faster way?
Also when i'm viewing a conversation between me and another person (in text messages in HTC Sense), it takes forever to load, and i can't type a message till all of them have loaded, and there's a 160+ for each person so they all load pretty slowly, surely there's a work around so i can type whilst it loads?
Thanks in advance =)
Edit: oh there was another thing, if i browse someones facebook photos, can i set any photo as the contact card picture rather than just the profile picture?
Thanks again
Bump, anyone help please? :/

this forum. (in brief - install hspl will let you install any rom, go hunt and do some reading, then when you understand what you are doing, go for it. )
Ah right thanks a bunch, just one last thing
When I'm downloading updates from HTC's website, it says select location closest to you, should I select europe 1 or 2 (I'm in london)
Doesnt matter, thats just which server sends you the file.
Ah right thought it was to do with bands heh

Only more than three alarms with 3rd party alarm software (cant recommend, i dont use more than three, sorry)
As for slowdown, first off disable the flip clock when you return to home page, (search for disable manila flip) secondly if wifi is on that can make it sluggish when you wake it from sleep as it reconnects.
Hey peeps, gna post here rather than create a new thread.
I'm thinking about installing a cooked rom, i'm pretty sick of this ****ty t-mobile rom.....phone freezes up constantly, slows down etc.
Will flashing a cooked rom complete wipe everything off the phone, texts, contacts, photos, music, apps etc etc?
