Hi, i'm getting a new phone in the next few days and there's a lot i would like to know before buying.
i know Touch comes in two models (elf and elfin), and that both viva and Elfin have same rom and ram memory, what other differences are there between the Elfin and the viva and which is recommended?
If i flash an Elf model, will it become as fast and as good as a flashed elfin?
comparing all three of them, assuming they have all been flashed with the latest os (6.5 stable i believe?) are there no significant differences between them?
I wanna know as much as possible because i have the possibility to buy any of them and the difference of prices between them is very little, but the HTC Touch looks much nicer than the viva, and i'm still not sure if the touch is Elf or Elfin (64 or 128 rom and 128 or 256 ram right?)
i'm sorry for this post, i'm pretty sure someone else has already asked all this before but i searched a lot on this forum and didn't found all the answers.
Go for HTC Touch Elfin and use one of the cooked roms here in xda.
Touch Viva has the same hardware as the elfin,the difference is it only has updated WM version (6.0 in elfin vs 6.1 in viva) and has touchflo out of the box.
I recommend using miky's roms or onyx but you must hardspl your device first
Miky's Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541886
Onyx Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540
or try this rom
Ahen's Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569687
Edit:
HardSPL is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
use 3.10
hope it helps
thanks a lot dude... i´ll come back when i have it.
..
So this means that HTC Viva just upgraded the OS to WM 6.1 and change into a different housing?
Do they have same hardware components?
HTC Vivahas changes in hardware Tri-band vs Quad-band but thats the only hardware difference there is and also you wont notice any performance increase since its using the same slow omap850
a regular elf has 64Mb RAM/128Mb ROM
an elfin has 128Mb RAM/256Mb ROM
htc viva = elfin only cheaper
OIC. So It means elfin is ok. which do you prefer?
I purchase HTC touch because of the price and luckily it was the enhanced edition.

Hello
I'm new to the ARTEMIS community and only just realised there are so many ARTEMIS models so im confused about which ROMS i can use
I've been looking for a WM6.1 rom with SDHC support for the Orbit ARTE200
got any suggestions ?
Cheers In Advance
Hi
I am more or less in the same boat. My Orbit 1 already has wm6.0
Is it possible / practical to update to 6.1 with touch flo. Will this make it the same / similar to orbit 2 (though slower).
Is processor / rom / ram capable of supporting this spec?
What rom? Is there a comprehensive tutorial?
Thanks in anticipation
Best ROM by far are the Artemis Touch roms, unfortunately the creator has left the forum, but there is a thread here which still has the links. This gives you touchflo, and the HTC Home plugin, amongst various other tools.
I use an Orbit 1 - downloaded the ZIP with Artemis Touch 4.02 full, and there's two batch files in there, first one for USPL, then the second one for the ROM itself.
Artemis Best Rom
Guys, the best Artemis Touch v4.02 is here:
4.02 Full with Cube
4.02 Full with no cube
4.02 Lite with cube
4.02 Lite with no cube
4.02 Vanilla
I've been using it months already, and everything is perfect.

Artemis Touch 4 Roms
I haven't got around to flashing the ROM as yet
I wanted to ask if this rom supports SDHC type 1 and type 2 cards
I want to go buy a larger size memory card so considering microSDHC cards
8GB or 16GB but before I buy it i wanted to confirm whether Artemis Touch ROMS supports microSDHC
Please could someone confirm, Cheers
How did it go?
Hi,
I have an O2 UK XDA Orbit (wifes old contract phone) and am interested in unlocking so I can go to vodafone for pop3 gprs and I am considering WM6.
I was wondering if you have flashed your phone yet? How did it go and what version?
Also I have to ask what is the with cube/without cube.
hey
welcomes
well first you have to CID UNLOCK your phone before flashing any ROM or you will brick .. for that see HERE
and second choose a ROM you like.
i don't like cube.. for me not a big deal... the latest thing of these stuff is the manila 2D.
now i'm using the YuE line with manila v11.3 which you can see in my signiture.
My htc touch p3450 have a 128mb ram, 256mb rom, 201mhz omap processor, and model name ELF0100.. In past i've upgraded the phone with elf roms, but now i don't know if my touch is ELF or Elfin, because ELF got only 64mb ram. Finally my phone is ELF or ELFin?
sorry for my wrong English.
ELF = 64 RAM 128 ROM
ELFIN = 128 RAM 256 ROM
you have an elfin
You CAN use elfin ROMs to upgrade your phone
afaik..upgrading a ROM will not decrease the RAM and ROM size.

Hello to everybody!
I just upgraded my HTC Touch Find (the Touch Cruise sold by TIM) to Windows Mobile 6.1 with the official WM6.1 ROM downloaded from HTC website. Now my smartphone uses only 84MB of RAM (before was about 100MB) and the free RAM is only 45MB (before with WM6.0 was about 60MB).
Why now smartphone uses less RAM? what is the problem?
Many thanks!
bye,
Alessandro.

Hi all,
I am still using my P3600 and I am planning to buy HD2 in Hong Kong.
I have two questions regarding the hardware memory~
1) Does all HD2 comes with 448MB RAM which can become 576MB with
special radio ROM as mention in Wiki?
2) Are there two versions of ROM size? 512MB and 1024MB?
Would there be cooked ROM so big that it is over 512MB?
Thank you all for your time and answer~
Godspeed,
Volospin
yes, first the HD2 has 448mb RAM, after upgrading to latest radio u get 576mb )
but u cant change the ROM size..
only US T-Mobile HD2 got 576mb RAM and 1gb ROM from the start, others can get 576mb RAM but not the 1gb ROM
and i dont think that there will be ever a winmo rom wich is bigger than 512mb...
Hi D4rkSoRRoW,
Thanks for your reply.
I think I need to crawl some thread or post regarding dual booting WM and Andriod.
Hope 512MB is enough for both~
Godspeed,
Volospin
there won't be fully working android on the hd2 for a while yet. don't think about android as part of your decision.
Thanks, Samsamuel...
What about WM7 as option of HD2?
Various sources saying that it will be free upgrade and also there will not be upgrade at all.
Maybe I really need to wait for Obsession.
Microsoft said no, it will not have an upgrade to wm7... so it seems we will really dont get an official upgrade :/
but yea, hope is not gone yet, someone already ported wm7 to hd2.. we'll see..
just look at the hd2 as it is right now.. you like windows mobile 6.5? buy it. maybe you'll get WM7 and android afterall
Ram problem
Hello I have bought yesterday a HTC HD2 from a guy
At device informations -> Hardware Informatin appear to be 576 mb of ram but when i go to Memory (Program) the total is 208.81 mb. The olny change that he made to the phone was an update
How i can fix it?
My curent Software informations are:
OS Version 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila version 2.5.20181527.0
Rom Version: 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE
Rom Date: 10-04-2010
Radio Version:2.15.50.14
Protocol Version 15.42.50.11U
How can i find out whath update my phone has
My Rom Date: 10-04-2010 and the second htc rom update was 2010-10-19
But my Rom Version is: 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE and htc rom version is East Europe: 3.14.479.2
Do i have the first update?
If i have the second update can i update again?
http://www.htc.com/ro/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=1046
dont need any updating, you have the latest version
This board is so confusing.
I have a HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) bootloader says:
BLAC100 32m
spl 1.54.0000
microp-blackstone led v6
I have the latest official HTC Wm6.1 rom installed (1.56).
I just want to install the newest version of the software it can handle. I understand this is Windows Mobile 6.5.
I understand there are like 223 versions with the guts ripped out so it works faster. I just want the default vanilla Microsoft version (if there is one.) It is SO confusing trying to find the right ROM.
Which one is that on this site? I.e. which thread? Just the vanilla WM6.5 for HTC Touch HD.
If someone can point me in the right direction to a (newish and not 5 year old) dummies guide to updating the spl to 1.56 and flasing to Win 6.5 I'd appreciate it too!
Edit: I understand I first need to flash to HardSPL 1.56 to be able to flash non official roms?? I can do that.
Basically pointing me in the right direction of the vanilla Windows Mobile 6.5 (finger friendly version with the big buttons) for the HTC Touch HD would help me a lot.
thanks
Anyone?
stock rom never was produced by htc in wm 6.5
u need hardspl and you can try this 6.5 roms.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26034604&postcount=9939
Thanks.. But people are saying that the Energy ROM is the best/fastest 6.5 on Blackstone..
What do you think?
u can see what i think in my last post

I used an ENERGY ROM on my HTC Touch HD (UK) and it ran the battery down in a matter of hours. It's just FAR too demanding for that phone.
kwbr Sense Edition
kwbr Sense Edition is the best.. I have been using it for 2yrs now...
