Hi all.
I've bought an herald (P4350 in Italy) for my wife. I've registered the product to htc club and i've installed windows mobile 6 in italian.
Now i've read some thread as:
Newbs guide to Herald modification *updated* 10/18/07: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
and:
All you need on your Wing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
If i've understood well, the first option means overwrite the OS i've just installed with another one with (impressive) features (as touchflo, cube interface, kayser like apps) preinstalled.
The second means collect some apps and install it (maybe it's possible htc home, even touchflo but certainly not cube's interface).
Well, due to limitation of the second way (cube's interface for example), i'd like to try the modified rom (cooked?), but i've some questions:
1) First of all, is it true that i can have all the functionality of the "Touch-IT,WWE v1.1" or similar cooked rom only by flashing the rom or i can found ALL the functionality by installing some apps?
2a) If 1) is false where can i found ALL the apps for doing the same things as well as in a cooked rom?
2b) If 1) is true, can i flash with Touch-IT rom my italian device with italian WM6 installed?
2bI) If 2b) is true, after trying Touch-IT rom can i reinstall my WM6 italian rom by double-clicking on the file downloaded from htc club? If not is a way to rollback to the original rom?
2bII) If 2b) is false (but also if it's true because i prefer the OS in my language ), PLEASE Itje make a Touch-IT,IT where the second IT meas ITALY
1. While you can have the apps, touch-it is built on a newer, more streamlined version of windows mobile 6.
2a. see 2b
2b. You can flash the WWE. I believe there was some effort to get a native language port, ask itje about that.
2bI. Yes. I believe the HTC club one is an RUU, a "Rom Update Utility". If you mess up in the flashing, you can use it restore from bootloader also
2bII. Again, ask itje.
wow that was confusing. Outlines are like hell on a apple.
fzzyrn thanks a lot for answers.
1. So u think that i can have also cube interface by installing an apps? Wich one?
2b. how can i contact itje for a native language port?
Again, thanks a lot for helping me.
i believe there are like flash-based emulations of the cube. Look in the main software development forum.
To contact Itje, private message him. Click on his name and then it should be obvious to extent
Hello
I had the occasion to watch a video showing the new Touchflo running on a Touch HD (the one with built-in calendar and new contacts screens).
Is this version available for download and install ?
Sorry if I asked a stupid question, I looked for the information but did not find anything about that
Nicolas
You can just flash a rom, which contains this new version. Look in the ROM development forum in order to get more information.
Thanks for the input
So I guess there is no "standalone" installation for this TF3D version, so I can just replace the current one without flashing ?
That would be the ideal for those who prefer the new 1.56 official rom! (including me)
I find the new rom perfect for my needs but i would also like to use the new manilla!
what's the problem flashing a custom-rom?

Duttys Xtreme v3 ROM is both of those things.
heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.
Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.
heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.
thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?
No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.
Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......
And the article:

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.
Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it
sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.
okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.
Hey all,
I've built my first ROM a couple of days ago (details here) but I'd like to add WWE as language too. (And maybe FR, GER and ITA too).
Also I'd like to updrade to the newest WM6.5.X build (current is 23103), but I'm scared I'll lose drivers or whatever that will (in the worst case) brick my device or make my ROM worthless. And where can I download the latest WM build?
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate your help,
MadMatt

Hello, I bought on the german e-bay a mobile device called Acer neotouch s200, which is in german language without other languages like english, etc... I have read that if I want to get english language, I need to (re)flash it. Currently, the device has S200_3.003c.00_DE ROM. I do not know exactly if it is better to get the default ROM or the newest. To flash it, I downloaded Acer S200 beta 3 flashing tool, ran Acer_EUU.exe, but it stopped before updating the device (this was made on my desktop computer with Windows XP). I also tried it on my laptop with Windows 7, but the Acer_EUU.exe "stopped working". Can you please give me any advice how to solve my problem? I read it is better to get the default ROM, because it reduce the battery status, but it has got bugs.
Thank you

Dear Stress Analyst,
Thanks for your helpful advice. The problem has been solved. For the benefit of those who run into the same problem, here is what I did (I am summarizing this from memory, so I may miss a few things):
- I downloaded a file called "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar". The size is 162,841,490 bytes.
- I unzipped the contents of the .rar file into a folder.
- I put the S200 in bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera and power buttons, while pressing the reset button with the stylus. The LED started flashing red. I connected the S200 to my Windows XP SP3 desktop, and it caused the Acer HS-USB driver to be installed.
- In the aforementioned folder, I ran “Acer_Euu.exe”, and was led through a series of windows. Just click, click, click ...
- When flashed, the Arto ROM was nice and interesting on my pda, but a bit too funky for a middle-age man like me. So I decided to install the Acer update instead.
- I unzipped file “OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip” and ran file EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.01_EN_02_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100202.exe
- After flashing the updated Acer ROM, I checked the version number, which was CE OS 5.2.21883 (Build 21883.5.0.783). The earlier version was Build 21857.5.0.66. The new version seems to run faster than the old version. Here is what I think were the problems with the older version 21857.5.0.66:
- The old firmware does not do a Clean Boot very well.
- The old firmwave has problems connecting to the Acer update.
Arto's ROM overcame these two problems, which meant that I can use it as a temporary bridge to the updated Acer ROM.
Unquote..
You can try the newest Arto's rom on the 2nd thread below yours.

How can I change ROM Acer neoTouch S200
I have OS_ACER_3.003b.00.EN_WM65_S200
I want to change to
EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.00_EN_01_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100203

ERROR CODE = SKU_incompatible

.....Tried to update from 3.003b to EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.00_EN_01_03.03.08_3.003c.00_20100203
and the utility tells me SKU_incompatible .
I have in registry EN language by default.
Does anyone knows what is wrong with it?
Yes, for this "3.003c.00_EN_01" rom you should have language set ton EN_01 in your registry. ;-]
.....................
Just use your favorite registry editor and go to HKLM\ControlPanel\ACER\SystemInfo\Software
You'll find two keys: ExtROMVer and Language
For each key, Change your language occurence to "EN_01".
guys, do you really think that I am an idiot? I know all these steps, but I CANNOT connect the device to my laptops & PC
btw, can u copy here a DL link for "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar" ? Cannot find it
cmooon fellaz
Can you get into bootloader mode?
Version 2.1 is just the latest version during the creation of the thread. You can download other versions here.

Try follow up on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642654&page=258
Get machine into bootloader mode, Red led flashing. Key sequence:
Camera + Volume down + Reset
Previous key sequence won't work for me. (Camera+Power+Reset)
Finally I flashed my device using the Arto's Sense rom, but now the device is really slow and some options are restricted. I also cannot change the display settings, so it is sometimes bright and sometimes dark. G-Sensor does not work, phone lags a lil bit. Is there any way how to get the DEFAULT stock firmware (with english language of course)? I copied the downloaded firmware from ftp: ftp.acer-euro (the oldest) to directory called Acer beta flashing tool where is also included Acer_EUU.exe and other stuff for flashing... and flashed it. After flash the welcome screen says I have the old firmware, but there is the same theme like before and the OS version did not change. I thought the newest, cooked firmware is very good & fast and works without any problems but this really sux. imho the default will be definitely the best :>
Thanks for any advice
Download this official rom here.

Check the Arto rom version and change your register to EN_02 before flashing the new rom.

bry4nnn,
First of all, you have followed bad/wrong advice from an idiot who quoted an old post about arto's sense "2.1" when in reality, sense roms and s200 rom developement in general has far surpassed 2.1 and acer stock firmware!!!!
according to your first post you already had the latest "stock" firmware w/3.003c drivers so all you needed to do was flash one of the many "clean roms" labled "WWE".
Second, the S200 will always have bugs because of WM6.5 that's why cooked roms are made to overcome most of the limitations of our device!! Inchu though
wrong about almost everything was right about one thing,"READ BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD" because right beneath your post is an entire universe of
info,roms,flashing info and all things s200!!! including one labled "Arto's sense 4.0" if you bothered to look you would find a change log with a chronological listing of Arto's sense from 1.0,1.1,etc...
My advice for you would be to delete all of your downloaded EUU's and beta tools and start over by simply downloading one of brainmaster's roms either
"WWE Clean" or "WWE Manila Clean 1.1" or any of the many he has cooked
for our device.

ehm, your file is called "Name: OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip " which refers to a newer firmware, right? Anyway, i have to repeat myself: "I need default stock firmware, the oldest with EN" (and in my opinion it is probably called 2.003, yy?)

For what exactly do I need this: WWE Clean and WWE MC 1.1 ? How I said, I rly do not need any CUSTOM firmware. just want to get the default firmware, not these bugged versions.

Then you are clearly in the wrong place because this is the "Neotouch S200 Rom Development" section not Acer.com (http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/download.htm which is where all things "official" or"stock" can be found!!!
And you are so wrong about the custom roms here they are light years ahead of the bug filled original acer rom!!!
But since you have only tried an older version custom rom still in development (as the change log indicates) and decided that all custom roms are buggy w/out having tried them then maybe you deserve the original acer firmware!
custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware.

u r so amusing, are not u? "custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware" - yeah yeah and the bugs there are like side effects at painkillers, yeah?
And why the **** are u spamming here in this thread (now)? I wanted to get stock FW, not an advice about slow_buggy_custom_rom, cyao
I belong here, been here almost from the start of this forum and know a hell of a
lot more than you!!!! but dumb assholes like you who come to a windows mobile hacking forum to ask for advice about stock firmware don't!!
Not to mention, insulting the work of the very people you ask to help you're
sorry - wannabe - know-it-all ass will surely never get answers!!!!!
Any ideas how to get the default stock fw like it is here - http://tinyurl.com/5s5ocmh ?
I had it before with unsuitable languange (fw version was 3.003c). Now I want the same, just with english. If I use the fimwares from acer webpage then I have the same theme (& and the display is still dark, cannot change some options, etc..)
PROBLEM SOLVED
Arto made for me this stock firmware (3.003c.01.EN.02)
