Hello
P.s. Is this the right thread i am posting i dont know....is this is a wrong thread and if i am not supposed to post here then i am sorry for my noobness.....
well, dought a diamond few days back....its a used piece that has no warrenty.....so i have been thinking of modding it with new rom and s/w.....well basically i am a noob in upgrading roms...but i have seen my friend do it a couple of times,felt its a no sweat process....and i wanna try my hand at it....
well basically i need a good rom....(i know i should have searched the forum for roms....but i need your valuable Wisdom in choosing the right rom cause if i choose a wrong one i might mess things up.....and no i am not Lazy)
well...i want a good rom....plz suggest me a few...i will now mention what i need in my phone....so plz..be patient
i need
Windows Mobile OS Rom(preferably The Latest 6.1 cause its the stable one around....i dont know about 6.5 is it any good..?)
can i have the cube application in the Diamond......it would look cool to use it...
Mobile Office,Pdf Reader,yahoo messenger,a nice all in one media player..(like vlc on pc platform....it plays everything i throw at it...i just love it..)
i would also like to have the Htc Touch Viva Blue Theme.....i dont Know what its called but i saw it on my friend phone and it was pleasent...

Hey, u know that your phone can brick, right?
You really should read a lot about flashing before doing it.
Start >here<
After that proceed here
If you read everything carefully and want to flash a new ROM be shure to
do it step by step as it's suggested.
And I guess you have read it quite often, but you have to find your own ROM.
Try some and then decide which to use. It's most satisfying^^
And yes, 6.1 is more stable than 6.5 for now so you should take a 6.1 ROM.
But have a look at these two ROMs. I have tryed them both besides many other and I used the A.Z.T.O.R. series for a long time -> very stable and really fast! Will use it again when X3 will be released I don't know if they fit all of your personal needs, but especially for some special theme or so on you should search the Thread you posted this request
A.Z.T.O.R.

Good luck!
PS.: Please use a topic that contains some more information next time

oh dang i could only get to the first sentence because i have cdma

Thanks for the reply marcel .....i know that i am risking it...but hey...better to die than live a coward all my life ....i want to go thru this...
and okay nxt time i will name the thread more appealingly....

I would recommend two options. You can use Cloudy 1.1 with and without Manila. I have tried both. The WITH Manila has the TF3D with it which is very nice. However, my preference is WITHOUT Manila and then add SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. This is more user friendly.
Both options are very fast and with lots of free ram (more than 50Mb)...
I am not sure if these work with CDMA - please check first.
By the way, I think there is so much great help on these sites (and PPC Geeks) that you will always find a way to get your phone looking and feeling the way you like.
Good luck!

Oops...!!!
Sorry i forgot to mention..the Diamond i right now have was flashed earlier...so right now its having a custom rom by diamond project team....well i am looking for a move basic rom.....which is almost or most likely official rom...

if you want a official rom you can visit HTC.com and download the latest official rom that have been released. whether or not you can use the custom spl without doing any harm i have no idea about since i do not know anything about roms and flashing i just know that HTC has official roms on their site

I think u can download ROMs from HTC if u own an original-HTC device, right?
I wasn't able to download their ROMs because I bought my Diamond from a German reseller
-> Same phone, nearly the same look but an unsupported IMEI (?)
And again I can propose an A.Z.T.O.R. ROM^^
Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms = A.Z.T.O.R.
And as your phone was flashed before you should have no probs flashing a new ROM^^ So try some and then choose

The Whole Story!!!
Actually The Diamond i Right now have was bought off the gray market..it was actually a orange network locked phone...so the phone is right now unlocked,gray market product....
Okie....i will take a look at AZTOR..

Ahem...
Well i decided to go with this hardspl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 but i cannot seem to understand which radio file to choose....and Roms are Relatively not a big problem...i will try AZTOR OR Duttys..plz gimme a latest stable Radio file...

Rom Ver : 1.93.921.2 WWE
Rom date : 14/08/08
Radio Version : 1.20.olinex

Lets COOK some ...... ANDROID !

With kind regards and thanks to a member of this forum, stuliv12, who provided us with a link to a HTC Click ROM, im asking all the chefs of this forum to be so kind and port Android on Jade. Only you have the skills needed to do so.
I believe that many of us here would want to make their Jade even better, by running Android on it
I have uploaded the ROM to Megaupload, so that you dont have to go to the original site and register.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FSD6CJ8N
Looking forward to seeing and testing Android on Jade.
Thank You in advance.

It's really good news. Let's improve this sparkle and make a big fire.
I want to use Android on my Jade so much.
I'm willing to support to develepors at least as a tester.
I appreciate the efforts of arseny1991 to encourage the Jade users about Android.
I hope we'll hear some good news soon.

Greetings,
I also would love to help with this project.
Please cooks, tell me how i could help... I have some IT knowledge, but really didnt had the time yet to learn how to cook...
Regards,

i believe that we need to test Android with Haret first, because its more safe (we wont brick our Jade).
To do so, we should get the kernel out of the Tattoo ROM. Any idea how we can do that ? How to decompile the ROM provided earlier in this thread ?

I did have a go at opening up the attached file (the .exe above)
I used uniextract to extract the .exe and then that revealed a whole load of files, but the bulk of the space was taken by a cab file (90 odd mb). I tried to open the cab but can't succeed - I can see the content is made up of 2 files and 1 of the files is a .img file so this is the kernel.
All have a go and see if you can get to this file.
Louis

thats the same with me, i can see the two files and the .img, but i cant seem to extract it, if i could, i have the hariet for my elf, and can just swap the img files etc to see how it starts.
The main issues i would have thought would be how the keys are mapped, as the Tattoo has the home and back buttons, i assume we could re-map these to up and down respectivly?
any thoughts?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves worrying about the mapping of buttons - the first major hurdle is getting all the necessary files, and then the second major hurdle is booting - Once we have achieved those 2 goals we can worry about button mapping.
Anybody got any ideas about how to extract those files? Anybody extract files from a HTC rom .exe before as they could be packed in a similar fashion.
Louis

look what i stumbled upon.....

Good find - unfortunately the links don't work - I see the links have been asked for - lets hope they post.

What are your impressions about android compared with WM ?

1. the scrolling is very smooth on the tattoo much faster than my jade
2.the music sound 100 times better than the jade(tattoo has a 3.5jack)
3. putting aps on the android is a bit if a pain ie u just cant download a cab and just click it on ur phone these are .apk files and to install the same u need to use the sync and a tool called the aps installer on the same to install an application this u can do only through the comp a little bit of a a pain
and their is some thing called the rooting on the android something like our HSPL i still havent got it its not as easy as the HSPL we do
u need to create a gold card all that stuff which is still quite confusing
but i am enjoying the feel of the tattoo its great experience
and u dont have anything like our pim backup for the android so every time u flash a new rom u need to sync with ur comp or google account
this is also quite a pain for me
but u realy cant compare a WM to ADM
from my experience both are diffrent and thank god i kept my jade and did not dispose it so i got two toys to pay with
Note : the india version of the tattoo is not 3G

Thanks Haree for the reply. I think that Android is very promising OS but we are in the beginning and like anything it needs time to be well developed , also programs for it. In this point of view WM is years in front.

Completely Confused.

Hi People...
I am completely confused... I want upgrade my HTC Viva to wm6.5, but all the forum of Rom have many issues.. i am not able to understand which Rom to install..
can anybody help me out...
Thanks

do like what we do... experiment.

Hi all,
I'm a bit like don_yogesh, confused!
These toys are not so easy to update... when u don't know how ^^.
A fair bit of reading will be necessary !
Cheers.

these roms id say are not worth experimenting...for windows mobile 6.5 there are no need of certain applications like htc notifications and htc volume changer<tht doesnt work> i simply dont know why in roms they are there....if they made a rom clean of those ill be more than glad to experiment

It's been long i have not posted in XDA, i have just purchase the New VIVA and i am quiet interested to know, which cooked rom is serving well to VIVA users ?

You can try PDAVIET wm 6.5 rom v25 (just go through the december's 2009 post) I find this one is functioning well in my viva t2223. Just some minor bug, audio manager doesn't work and it drains battery.
Or you can wait and wait and be left out of experimenting...which is the joy to all these moddings...
Moreover, this is not paid site which host only fully finished/bugless softwares, HELP by trying out the roms...mods and report bugs and in return you learn more and more.
Also, post any good softwares/games/themes which you have come across in the appropriate sections. Sharing is the keyword here.
Sorry if I offended you. be cool.
My greets to the mods and senior members.

Ervius Kitchen not work Omnia2
Not compatible platformrebuilder.exe

Helping
Visit modaco.com! There is a entire section about cooking roms for O2

really im happy that some guys answered, but ¬¬ nothing usefull....
i really searched for cooking 2.5 in o2 DOESNT EXIST and WHO KNOWS in modaco dont share.....
about the guy that sayed to read read and read.... THATs what im looking for... WHERE IS THE FILES TO READ???
thanks. no offense for anyone please...

So, what file do you have??? you must collect all the files and using a software you can cook your own rom. The problem is that i don't know if there is just a software to cook compatible with omnia2.

No body is interested!!!!!!!

Nobody is going to help you, as I have been searching for the same info. Everybody points to modaco but nobody there want to share this so called secret. There is no visual kitchen which can cook for Omnia II, there are certain tools which can be used for this purpose but still dont know how to integrate Sense 2.1 or 2.5 into that rom. Hope somebody can help us........but I doubt as nobody is interested in our Omnia II.
If you find anything........please do share.

CDMA or GSM ???
Try the GSM omnia2 8000 thread at MODACO
or
CDMA Omnia i920 thread at MODACO.
Both phones look the same but their insides are very different and rom's can't be exchanged very easily.
So It's not that no one cares your just not quite clear enough in your request.
The info is there just not in this thread....at the moment.

its all about baby steps (I love that movie!)
first cook a stock rom, then a custom rom, then dabble in a sense rom.
It doesn't just happen over night, but many many sleepless ones.

Help Me Creating ROM for Magician....

Hey guys i have bought my new Touch Pro 2 mobile.. and so i am going to use my I-mate jam for making new ROM's for jam.. Request to all Magician ppl to help me to build rom what you want... you can tell me
1. Do you want a clean rom..
2. Rom with TouchFLO 2d..
3. Anyother..
will be waiting for your replys..
cant make the decision alone.. so thought of making a post..

Q: Do you know how to build magician ROMs?
If yes, please tell me how. (I was making few roms for friends kovsky, so i know what and how, but i have not found any way how to build for my magician)

A clean to the bone 6.5.3 ROM would be nice...
Or even Android!
P.S. I`m in for testing!

Android + 1, or 6.5.x with manila 2

I think andriod is to slow for the magician, and it would be to hard to make it for one person.
Windows mobile 6.5.5 is really nice. But I heard it is hard to unpack the magician roms. There is not any kitchen released. Only cotulla has succeeded making an magician rom so far..

Yes, but he is selfish and doesn't want to share his work with us. Lazy too. I respect his work but nothing new is posted since 2009... Like he is left this magician project...

Android sounds interesting.
I'd even like to help in any way possible, posted a message in the general > questions just today.
I'm doing a study informatica > software engineer, and for a schoolproject we have to write an android application ... don't have €500,- for some fancy HTC phone with android on it, so if we could kick my phone back to life (even if it is slow) it would be awesome.
Saying that, also like to add that i have enough sparetime to help you out with some testing, reading, writing/coding I'm not really experience with mobile phone OS ROMS so it is a good challenge and probly a nice sparetime project

I would that its a rom like htc touch 2,
The start button at the bottom

I fear also that Cotulla no longer is working on the Magician ROMs.
I hope I'm wrong...
A new ROM should be fingerfriendly and stable with all Radio-Software-Versions.
I love my Magician ! A solid Case , you became all Repair Parts for low Price and you can change them self . I would be happy , if someone could make a kitchen, with a chance to change the language . Good luck !

Mod. edit: as of now not dev related, moved to general

?
hey
i want to ask when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know

?
Does anywhone now when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know

A WM6.5.X, Android or WP7 is great.

does someone have any info on how to build rom
i managed to decrypt, extract, modify (oem and xip) and now i need some help to build rom back so that i can encrypt it and use RUU to flash...

are you kidding me? what do YOU CAN MODIFY?

Tell me that you are not modifying Cotulla's roms, that is not cool dude.
Respect his work and wishes, either create your own rom or get permission from the big man himself before doing it.

DO NOT WORRY i DO NOT use Cotulla's rom!!!! i do respect his great work... at the moment im working on WM2003SE but i guess that same or similar procedure is used on WM6.1/WM6.5.... so i juct need to figure out way to build new rom form files that i have extracted...
any info is appreciated....
i havent found any kitchen for Magician, and kitchen for Himalaya or BlueAngel does not work on Magician... so sad...

ok that is great news, now I am sure there are guides for rom compiling available around here. I will have a look soon and report back

I cooked my own ROM based on Cotulla O5. but Cotulla doesn't allow it for the publication.

if you want you can publish your rom on www.techz.in
