Pls advise

I am sure if i found here a right section to post my thread pls correct me if i am wrong in any way....
I'm a newbie here. Lately, i spent some certain time on checking out this forum, and found most i needed. I must say this is such a great ppc site which's globalized with many experts from all over the world.
By following the tools and instructions provided by experts here, i believe i successfully unlocked my HTC device, and i'd like to do a switch with other Roms. Unfortunately, i couldn't get it though i found. Because i don't know why they were just uploaded to Rapidshare which it's pretty hard for me to get it. My HTC device has too many unuseful built-in programmes that i don't need at all.
So i hope some one can help with out there
here's my device info.
HTC P3600 WM6 Pro. (Eng)
CE OS 5.2.1437(build17944.0.3.1)
Rom:3.00.707.17
Rom date:06/29/07
Radio:1.16.00.00
Protocol:32.53.7018.01H
thank you

There are plenty of "light" roms. These have virtually no programmes installed and so you can put on just what you need. Check ou t a light ROM - and update your radio - you can then use the GPS in your trinity, too.

it's a common misconception that removing programs from the rom somehow free up space to use for other things
rom space is rom space and using a rom which dont fill it up dont leave more space to storage or other programs
if programs are in the rom and not autostarted when the pda starts they have absolutly no impact on performance or anything for the pda

Got cha man
thank you for your explanation....but can i ask you a question? What if i get O2 rom into my HTC P3600, would it be possible to do that...? i hope to get more information....hehe....thanks

XDA Ignito / HTC Touch - Need advice (help) plz :)

hi guys,
I have just joined the forum and this is my first post..
I have bought the XDA Ignito or the HTC Touch Diamond.. and have been exploring the phone. Was wondering if I can get some help here, i know there are lots of posts there but some things are complicating to me!
Just to inform that I am a newbie with all this stuff.
I want to customise few things:
I'm on orange and therefore I dont want the O2 screen at the start, and although I like the blue and white theme (of the TouchFlo3D), I would like to see the original version (black) also..
In the Internet option, When I click on Launch Browser, nothing happens and I have to manually open Internet Explorer from the Start menu!
I thought it is possible to browse the web in landscape by tilting the phone, but when I tilt the device nothing happens. Is it because im using Internet Explorer?
What do I need to do to purely customise my new toy lol
Also I would like to know of any tweaks that I may be able to do to maybe make the phone more faster?
One more question, I would like to know how long on average does the battery last? Mine lasts just about a day!
Thank you lot in advance! Appreciate all the help I can get!
Cheers
dakz

The simple answer is to flash a new rom. This will make your phone a standard diamond and remove the O2 branding
Internet explorer does not work in landscape. Most diamond's have Opera installed as the default browser which does switch to landscape
The new Rom should make your phone faster - the custom roms are usually tweaked for speed
If it's new, you are probably playing with your new toy a lot, so 1 day battery is about right
You could also try diamond tweak or advanced config from this forum. Both allow you to tweak in a user friendly way
There are sticky threads about these at the start of this very diamond forum

hey hays
firstly thanks for the reply..
So where do I or can I download the new rom and is it easy to 'flash' it? But before that i would want to know how to backup the current one just incase therex problems later!
Regarding the browser, i will try find the opera browser n download and make it the default, hoping that will work!
Right once i get those things done i will search the tweaks..
cheers so far
dakz

I downloaded Opera, including the new beta version from their website and yet it does not tilt to landscape when i turn the phone
Can someone who is able to browse the web in landscape plz tell me which version of Opera you are using?
thanks

opera browser landscape version??
no one willing to put an input??? Need to know the opera version!

I suggest you to backup files using spb backup and then flash the rom you like. It's easy, there is a fine tutorial. Probably you will have opera with it.

cheers
thanks for that
spent most of today just researching it around the forums, catching up on all the terminology that had been confusing me lol
I will download n flash a new ROM soon.. but I would like to backup my current one, which is 1.93.206.3 WWE and Radio version 1.00.25.05.
Anyone know where I can download these original ones?
thanks once again.
dakz

I know nothing about backuping whole rom, but I suggest you not to worry about that, there are few O2 roms here I think, radio also is no problem

yeh i might forget about backing up the whole ROM and instead im just going to find 1.93.206.3 WWE ROM sumwhere lol and then i can start messing about!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636

dont work!
thanks idrisito, i've checked that thread earlier today..
the link they provide in there dont exist any more

does it not! ill sort it out when i get home!

found it, i think!
well i did find "O2 XDA Ignito ROM 1.93.206.3 WWE November_2008.rar" from http://www.mediafire.com/?wz2amnzyk1w located in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636&page=5.
Now im slightly confused, will this do as my backup or should I wait until you sort out the link u have given me earlier?

that link i posted (i.e. the first one on the XDA ignito thread) does work ! i just downloaded from it !
thats the latest one it should say december 7th!
the other one i upped whic youv got does not display the splash screen correctly
once you'v downloaded the december 7th one that should allow you to return to the stock ROM, after flashing other ROMs, if you want to ever return for warranty purposes!

wicked! thanx
Hey idrisito thanks bro!!
dont know what happened!! its strange lol it was not working before! honest!
well im downloading it right now.
I also managed to flash Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex 1.40 and updated my Radio to v1.03.25.18 from 1.00.25.05. How would i find out which radio is better lol are there any things i should look for?
Two days of hard reading on this forum ahh lol but glad its done successfully without any problems.. next stage is to find a good ROM and flash that! Might start with the HTC's original one and compare it to the O2's blue theme.
thanks n keep up the good work
update: I just tried to flash Diamond_WWE_1.93.707.157 ROM but for some reason was unsucessful! It ends up with the following message after 1%:
error [244] INVALID MODEL ID
What am i doing wrong?
dakz

you need to carrier unlock your phone (CID unlock) if you want to flash any ROM!
have you installed unsigned hard SPL? (i suggest unsigned)
it probably didnt work cos the rom your installing is for a different region!
go for one of UDKs or some of the othe widely used ROMs in the forum!
there is a way round flashing the rom you currently have but it involves deconstrucing>> changing the model ID>>reconstructing the ROM and then flashing!
its easy enough once you know how!
the best radio in my opinion is the one suggested in UDK R3 ROM thread

what should i do

iv just got my brand new touch hd on orange, iv just started playing with it and am getting used to it slowly, iv had an o2 xda11i and an xda exec previously and both of them i flashed with roms from here, what do people recommend??

So far, I haven't flashed my Touch HD which is surprising as I was used to flashing my previous devices. Maybe the reason I haven't is I purchased an "unbranded" one from mobilephonedirect. If you have Orange branded one I'm assuming it has all manner of naff s/ware on it - my advice would be to flash either an unbranded stock rom, or a cooked rom

If you don't use the Orange bloatware, your phone would be way faster and be able to do a lot more if you loaded a newer rom... just my two cents!

what is a good rom to flash with?? its been a while since iv done this! iv just sat and gone thru the wiki.

Personally, I've just flashed it with the latest WWE stock ROM... got rid of my Orange bloatware and enjoying the experience "as is".
Im very happy with the way it is now, using a clean stock ROM and the Advanced Tools software.
My first step would be to flash it with the latest, clean stock ROM. This gives you the most up-to-date ROM from HTC without the bloat that Orange dumped on it. From there, I'd read up on some of the other ROMs such as Dutty's and DavieDuck's.... you might find the Manilla V3 or WM6.5 ROMS to be something you wish to experiment with also.
Theres plenty of info around here and plenty of help so when in doubt, search! When still stuck, post

Ok well i have just successfully upgraded to dutty's v2.9 and must say im quite happy, the new (dare i say it) i phone stlye start menu seems better. can i ask what other programs do people use, i will be installing tcpmt or whatever it was i used to use (core media player) and was thinking about wisbar, iv seen a thread on here about alternatives to the touch flo3d (point UI).
any recommendations would be very useful as iv been away from windows mobile for quite a while.
also i remember there being a ftp directory or something full of cab files, or maybe a list of cab files for my old xda, is there something like this for the touch hd??
also spb mobile shell 3.0 would that be used instead of touchflo3d??
sorry being a pain now!! lol iv just realised i got some cab files with the dutty 2.9 download and i have completely forgotten what im supposed to do with .cab file to install them, any help or a point in the right direction, i tried searching cab files but was unsuccessful.
also im slowly understanding what manila is but now im on dutty extreme 2.9 am i running new or old manila?? new i presume.

[Q] HTC Touch Dual upgrade to Windows 6.5 (Bell Neon 400)

Hi,
I'm very new at this, I've searched the forums but find dead links to things, so I'm reposting.
I have a Touch Dual Neon400 from Bell Mobility. It's currently running Windows Mobile 6.1, I'd like to run Windows 6.5 (or better?). I don't want any fancy functionality just a better interface.
Is there a simple guide anywhere that will take someone through the whole process step by step. I don't know anything about ROMs, have never flashed the phone etc.
Thanks for your patience.
Alex

Please help with HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

Hey there,
A close friend of mine has a HTC Touch HD and he never updated its ROM or anything because, well, he's not really familiar with the whole Windows Mobile or HTC world in general, and neither am I.
It has recently been freezing way too much and I believe that's because it has never been formatted, updated, or anything. Therefore, I borrowed the device from him in an attempt to try and fix that.
I'm familiar with Nokias, BlackBerries, iPhones, and have actually owned a couple of HTC phones but for a short while and never really bothered with backing up, updating, or such.
Can someone please guide me on what to do? I believe it has Windows Mobile 6.1 and the latest is 6.5 (according to research I've done). There is also something called ROM which is the OS, I suppose, that you install on the device, and I found hundreds of ROM and I don't know WHICH one to install or even HOW to install it.
I have also downloaded HTC Sync from HTC's website but it's not detecting my phone at all. Right now I downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7 64-bit in an attempt to connect with the device and backup or w.e.
Thank you so much in advance and please help me!

Installing ROMs is eassy on XDA. There are a lot of guides! For example, go to the windows mobile ROM development and search for what you want!
Maybe this info will help you:
-a ROM is a file which contains the OS you want to install. To install a ROM, you must connect your phone to USB and use special tools (use a guide to know);
-BUT before flashing, you must have SPL, which is a bootloader unlocker so you can install any ROM you want. And you can also update your radio.
Just basic info, check the guides please!

Thank you for your reply, mate. I swear all I've been doing is checking the guides and the FAQ and I still cannot manage to do the HSPL unlocker, unfortunately. It keeps giving me an error. I'm going to try in a couple of hours and see what I can come up with.
Can you please link me to any ROM that is WM6.5 and working fine? I really don't care what is missing from or added from it as long as it's working.

read the sticky, where all the guides and the rom link there

Thank you guys very much. I read the guides in the threads (BlackSTONEhenge Hyper) and the guide on how to do the HSPL thing and it worked!
Right now I am at 80% of the WM6.5 ROM installation. Hopefully everything turns out great in the end.
By the way, all I needed to backup was the SMS messages and the contacts, and I did that on a site called Bloove. Right now I can see them on bloove.com in my account, but does any body have any idea how to restore them on the HTC device using Bloove?
Thank you very much.
