Hi!
I have some weird problems with my Htc's camera.
If I take a picture, I don't get the image which was shown on screen.
As example, I took this picture. On my device I could only see the "dosbox" window.
The pic feels like zoomed out and pushed to the side.

Device is about 6 weeks old, problems came with WM6.5 roms.
First I used the german UDK r5 wm6.5 rom, and currently I use the latest build of the energy rom , wwe.
I think something is wrong with the wm6.5 camera drivers or just a registry setting mismatched...
can someone help??
thanks
Alex
Perhaps it has something to do with cooked or not official (maybe illegal) rom's which not have been tested by HTC.
What's happend with the original WM6.1 rom before you started to 'cook' with your phone?
The best you can do is install window 6.1 again from htc original and do it a test with camera. Win 6.5 coming short on htc hompage......

For those who dont know, PDAViet has just released a new BA rom with thse spec : WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5.
it has built in TouchFlo, and als the latest .NetCF 3.5 as Extrom...
I also have tried all the WM6 version since Helmi R0 release, Xplode's latest rom and PdaViet's WM6 OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT).
All are good, stable and fast.
I tried Xplode's latest rom for only 1 day and switched back toPdaViet's cause I had problems:
1. Somehow, the OK button (on top right hand corner) close apps without saving it (I had this problem when using PocketInformant and PocketBreeze - weird. I put it on forum, but no one else seem to have this issue)
2. I feel that the touch screen is not as responsive as other roms -I dont know, maybe I was wrong...but this is what i feel anyway
For now, I am using PdaViet's latest rom WM6 5.2.1938 (Build 18538.0.7.0.PV.HAT)Touch & Office 6.1 NetCF 3.5.
, and its very good...
hey i hv tested all the three but i hv not found big changes in them and switch back to helmi as i hv the backup of it. all three r same as they r helmi based. so i advised to go for helmi it also has gsfinder as file explorer.
which is the best
I have tried have all three of the latest roms but the ones that are the newest is pdaviets rom with office 6.1 and xplodes. Hemlis wm6 is older than the others so any of the other 2 are better.
It seems that the speed of xplodes and pdaviets are ABOUT the same but i find that pdaviets rom is slightly faster- programs open faster, and there is no stalling. Pdaviets is more stable- when i installed pdaviets 5.2.000 i only soft reset it about once- it works flawlessly. I can open more programs at the same time without stalling and freezing with pdaviets than with xplodes. With a great combination of stability and speed pdaviets takes the cake.
Although i can not use the touch flo cube that comes with pdaviets because of i can not get rid of my older version of touchflo i installed in my BA- for some reason i can not uninstall it or remove it but i hear it works like a charm.

What do you mean you cannot get rid of the older version of touchflo? After reflashing the new rom, whatever you have before will be gone..... just make sure you do the no yes yes option...
And you are rite, touchflo on Pdaviets latest rom works very well...
Just want to say yes, I am using latest rom of PDAViet too, and I love it. All bugs seems fixed. I just don't like the touchflo as I was using HTouch before and it works better (quicker, smoother, no flare, more open to add links...)
ftouch

I installed a previous version of ftouch before the one in pdaviets came out and i installed it on my hemli wm6 rom when it first came out. I did uninstall the program but although the file was removed touch flo was still active on my BA. No matter how many times i have flashed my BA to another rom ftouch is installed on my BA. It is very weird.
I did however find the ftouch program and it is located in my BA "windows" folder under "startup". When i try to delete that it says thats the file can not be deleted. I am not sure what you are talking about when you say " no yes yes" option because everytime i flash a rom it goes to the align screen option. Any help would be appreciated.

the no yes yes option refers to cleaning up the rom i.e. similar to the concept of formating the whole rom data.... you should do this after reflashing a new rom build.
when you reset and you get to the 3 colored screen, press and hold camera + record button for about 2 sec... use record button to choose, camera button to change no/yes... and then press mail button to confirm...
its all in wiki, under the instruction on how to update rom...
I prefer Xplode's latest release...its the fastest one by far, in my experience...can't really fault it at all....I dont like the Touch Flo...it's too slow on the BA...and I don't find it beneficial at all...just a waste of resources.

excellent! Thanks a lot joseph sapri! I just did it and i have so much more rom space and the ftouch is gone! MUCHO appreciated
no probs. I was in your position before.. . This is what this forum is for...
i see by far more people like PDAViet release
could any one provide download link and is there any thing special we have to do to upgrade from helmi WM6 ?
Thanks
Download links are in corresponding threads - THE FIRST POST usually
You should backup your data before flashing, upgrade procedure is the same as for any WM6.
Here is the link to the rom, as posted by Iced Coffee...

I just upgraded using this rom, but the sim card cannot be recognized. Any suggestions?
Hello!
I'm new here. I'll upgrade my BA soon, so I need to know: What version of WM6 is the best?
Helmi Windows Mobile 6 Profesional R0 or
WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) or
WM6 OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT)
Best WM6 ROM (as at Jan 2008)
Hi there, I have used both of the Roms at the top of your list and I find Xplodes to be faster and less buggy and I am sure it uses less power but can't prove it. I think I liked the fonts better in Helmi's Rom but it is amasing how quickly you get used to a new ROM.
One thing is for sure WM6 on the BA Rocks!
My personal pick as at today 14-Jan-2008 is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342142
Enjoy.
Another vote for xplode's ROM. It's fast and very stable.
PoGa
Xplode ROM rulez
how different
what are the main differences between helmi's and explods? i am using helmi's and am pretty happy. i would like to try explods but can't figure out how to get it to take. i can't remember if i have to manually put into bootloader or not. one thing i can say is that i don't find anymore bugs in helmi's rom than i did with some stock roms provided by phone manufactures.

You make a great point, we often refer to these bugs as if Helmi or Xplode put them there, when really they were issues that existed in the software these guys ported to the BA.
Having recently upgraded from Helmi's to Xplodes I can say that an issue I had with fonts in Co-pilot is still there, which probably means it is with Co-pilot's WM5 version running on WM6. The ROM was definitely faster when I first installed it but now I think I have installed too many apps and it is slowing down for me.
I had an issue with my marsware weather panel causing failed boots (needed to go to safe mode, then reset) after a backup with Helmi's version, this issue is gone with Xplodes.
Both versions have inherited the 'issue' with having to turn on wifi twice.
I personally love the task/memory manager in Xplodes version, and the wireless today screen display plug in.
Either Way is so great to have WM6 on the BA.
Just updated my signature.

Well, I got this PDA 3 wks ago.
First thing i did was the upg to wm 6.1 ( from HCT ).
Than hardspl ( all gone OK ) than M-Amine package. After 3/4 days BT wont go, radio FM too.
Well gone bak to WM6.1 ,and WM6.0 does't resolve any problem. Send back to the vendor and changed with a new one.
with this 2nd PDA upgrade to wm6.1 and than hardspl and to M-amine . After 6 day Camera blink into various colours, To have it working I tried to soft reset ( nothing ) hard reset (nothing ), go back to wm6.1 and 6.0. Camera won't go. Send back this 2nd with factory wm6.0 and got a new one ( the 3rd ).
Now with this 3rd device all is still "original" wm6.0, but it interface is very sad.
So my question is.
Am I very unfortune and the device was really defected
or am I a stupid ?
Is there an Upgrade to manilla2d without uprgrading the radio drivers?
when dowloading upgrade file from HTC the file name is "_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_ITA_3.13.408.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe.
what is 25.85.30.07 ?
thanks to all can help me

Wow, you have had some bad luck!
25.85.30.07 is the protocol version.
Official releases from HTC often contain both a new ROM and Radio in the same release, however you can upgrade them independant of each other. Need to be careful when doing this though as some of the newer ROMS require newer radio versions to work correctly. You'll find details of the necessary radio versions in most of the ROM upgrade topics.
I'm currently running this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2950434&postcount=348
With this radio version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430182 without any problems.
The ROM I'm using contains Manila 2d etc. and runs quite nicely, but so do many other current ROMS from epimazzo, M-Amine, c_shekhar and udK.
Make sure you have the latest version of HardSPL installed on your phone before flashing any new ROM/Radio as the unsuccessful radio upgrades in particular can brick your device. Lots of information on this in the wiki.
hey i was wondering if blackstone will get an offical upgrade to the new touchflo3d (diamond2 or touchpro2) frm htc when the 2 phone releases.
Thanks in advance
I don't think it's reasonable to hope such thing. When you look at the Diamond2 specs, it's nearly a cut'n'paste of the Blackstone's. Allowing an official upgrade to install TF3D2 on the HD would kill the Diamond2 — commercially speaking.
But if you want to get it anyway, you should try some cooked ROMs.
Exactly as clandestino_usr said. For HTC to issue this would kill off other devices by HTC. Rather annoying as Apple give out free upgrades to existing uers, why can't HTC follow suit!!!
You best bet is to use cooked roms. Once new phones come out with newer roms etc, its only a matter of time before a cooked version is available on xda developers. Just wait a while!
interested in this as well. have there been any releases that would allow this?
Yep, there are now several new cooked roms using the 1.56 rom as a base. the 1.56 rom are the roms used in the touch pro 2 and diamond 2 (inclusive of the new manilla/touch flow 3d) - My reccomendation: Dutty's V3 Ship!

hey cool. thanks man. i found a link to wwe 1.56 rom download at htcdriver.com -- couldn't find it when i did a search here in xda. thanks a lot for the help. am downloading now. by the way, i was looking at the dutty rom thread and website for a full list of features that the dutty rom contains, or maybe even a comparison of features side by side with the standard htc rom but couldn't find it --- is that posted anywhere?
does duttys do phone keypad with t9?
i read that somewhere and that put me off this rom
i went ahead and downloaded the dutty v3 ship anyway and yes it does have phone keypad with t9
Unfortunately HD does not have the hardware zoom slider. So we can't do any controlled zoom in the album using these cooked ROMs.
So there aren't any CAB installers present for installation of newer versions of TouchFlo?
I was using cooked ROMs for a while with 2.5 on it, but have went back to the Stock version for the sake of battery life. I'm not impressed by the version 1.3 on it, but I can't find any sort of CAB files for newer versions.
Hi,
I have updated my HD2 finally to ROM 1.66 WWE. The irritating pink spot in all pictures are not removed by HTC in this ROM upgrade even after they released patches for prior ROMs. Can you suggest how to best fight with those pink spots and this version of ROM?
Thanks.
Never had the issue myself but you could always try my ROM (see sig) as there's no issues using that, nor the flash issue where it over-exposes pictures
