Hello,
i just received my new Omnia 2, and when i was looking for custom Roms I couldn't find any. so i just went and updated the phone to a WM 6.5.
I have a number of questions:
1. Is there anyone currently working on a new Rom for the Omnia 2?
2. this is more of a comment, but i think the touchwiz 2.0 is lacking in terms of unity and wanted to know if anyone is working on a custom version?
3. i really hate that the call/ text notification when someone is calling/texting you is just the plain old WM. i want it to at least look like when the screen is off and it has this cool slide answer function or something other that the WM for that matter. ( that was not a question now was it?.....)
plz respond, I'm open to any suggestions. or hints for my Omnia 2.
Also, i'm really new to the whole changing to custom Roms and such, so i would really appreciate it if someone puts on a post on how to actually ge the Hard SPL(?) Rooting, ...... the whole 9 yards on this.
Thank you,
an addition to my post.
I would really appreciate any substitute for the touchwiz and other options for the omnia 2.
thank you.

Actually i did try that as i saw in a video on youtube. but i couldn't find the options for it.
and I also noticed that the settings interface for my Omnia 2 is completely different for the one in the video.
is there other versions of the touchwiz or does it change from region to region? I bought mine from the middle east.
i was really shocked by this when i found out that it was different form the video. could anyone elaborate on this?
thanks
Their are several phones using the name Omnia
Omnia 8000, Omnia i920, Omnia lte, Omnia HD, and a few more.
The only thing similar is the name and manufacture.
They also vary by country and phone system.
SO....
What I'm trying to say is before you start flashing Rom's and what make sure the rom fits.

Simple question.
I've read about the new features of the 3rd version of Touch Flo (on the upcoming HTC Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2) and they are quite interesting.
I just wondered whether by any chance this new version could be installed on the HTC HD (once it's out of course)
Thx
there are already tons of custom roms with this new tf3d
Oh! I wasn't aware of that... have an example so I can test it?

Think the list is endless. Go to ROM's development forum and seach. I'm currently using Duttys 2.5 Xtreme, though Laurentius & Davideuck are just as commonly used

well... i always do my home work before posting, that is why i did ask question...i could not find any cab, and believe me i spent hours looking throughout our gigantic forum...
if u know location where such cab is hiding from my eyes please share it with us.
There is no "cab" install and there never will be.
This isn't just an application you install on your phone - it's a complete system overhaul, with new TF3D, with all new and / or updated system applications: phone, calendar, contacts, call history, calculator, browser etc.
Let me illustrate however the difference between the stock ROM and the custom cooked ROM's available here on XDA. It's like going from Skoda to latest Ferrari.
That means you'll get a lot of great looking stuff, many cool applications already included, everything will be as new as possible, you'll be running at MUCH faster speed, but you also have to accept that you'll "burn more gas" - battery life may take a small impact.
Is it worth it? Well, it's like you bought a new device, so - yes.

If you flash a ROM that already includes the new manila it will probably be alot smoother because the ROM will be optimized and tweaked for it! If you install it over the old Manila it probably won't give you the best experience... Also, the newer ROMs not only include the new Manila, but also things like finger-friendly menus!
really is that true???

I'm pretty new to all this as well and had a lot of difficulty figuring it out! What I think happens is this: The ROM is a bit like the BIOS so you can't modify it within WM6.1. Also, the original ROMs are protected so you can't replace them with an unofficial version (they are signed).
To get around this, you can use something like Hard SPL (which overwrites the existing ROM) or USPL (which works around it).
I finally went with USPL2.5 and Dutty's extreme ROM v2.6.
Incidentally, I'm not really noticing much of a speed improvement... Especially with the music player which now takes a second to load up... Am I meant to?
I have a T-mobile Compact 5 (aka Topaz) running wm6.1. I understand that in the near future 6.5 will be made available. With this, will there be a new touchflow interface? I have seen screenshits of 6.5 and I cant say I'm over excited about it. I hope very much that TF is not discontinued on 6.5. Anyone knows?
regards
Personally I suspect it'll look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igRAl0swRsI. I hope it does.
Each to his own ... can't say the new manila is doing much for me, as evidenced on latest custom roms. Just looks like clutter, especially on the home screen.

im with you there however theres a few improvements that i prefer over the original touchflo, such as the favorite contacts screen. I also like the landscape photo gallery however at the moment that still runs a little chunky for me
Thanks for your replies.
I look forward to it. The short cuts on the home screen will be a BIG help for the way I use my phone.
Cheers
Has anyone come across a working Dusk dialer for an ATT Tilt 2? Stock TF3D 2.1.191... Windows 6.5 prof. build 21849.5.0.63
Yeah I know, but I am not ready to flash a new ROM yet, I don't need to carry around a brick until I can get it fixed. Thanks since it is only this site that has kept me from hating this phone. Why have so much potential, and yet not give your customers the key?? I'll never understand. In advance thanks

I did port over the dusk dialer for the att dialer. ( check my sig for link) It has caused some odd issues for others but works for alot of people. If you could try it and let me know.
I tried..I tried
Oh I tried it, but it did exactly the same thing as the dialers on this page though in a little different way. I have the exact setup as some of the other users that posted that they did not get it to work. It froze me out of TF3D, so I am not sure what to do. I have all of the rest of Dusk working with the exception of the shutdown screen. Kind of sucks. I should say that it did sort of work, but when I dialed (b4 it froze) the numbers were not those dialed.
I would be happy to reinstall it if you want a more specific breakdown of what occurred. Just say the word

give me some time today and ill dump the att stock rom again and use those dll to make the cab. I am not sure why it is causes issues on the stock roms.
Hey thanks for the help and take whatever time you need. I was sick of that blue themed garbage I got with my phone almost as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I had originally purchased a Samsung Solstice, but it was too girly, not heavy enough and I didn't like how the touchscreen felt so I upgraded to a Tilt2 and was shocked that I couldn't even change the color of the huge clock they put on the home screen whereas with the Solstice you could change most of it. Anyway thanks for your time
to be honest with you i would flash a custom rom nerv666999. i tried the dusk them with my tilt2 on the stock rom and it wasn't that great. i flashed to one of twopumpchump's roms from this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576361im using the TPC PRO Series v4 Standard with HTC 3G DIALER(manila 2.1 only) and i love it. after flash i have 248mb of storage, 104mb of program memory and only uses like 50% of the memory at the home tab with manila running. also this rom is sense 2.1 manila not touchflow 3d. has the weather on the clock. the dusk theme works great with it and the 3g dusk dialer works just fine. trust me, you'll never use all of that att crap they fill the phone up with
Maybe I will take the plunge and do it, but shouldn't I use the HardSPL first prior to flashing the new ROM? It just seems hard to take any directions verbatim with so many variations of unit. Might be same hardware, but running different software. It's one of the things I hated about the Tilt 2 when I first bought it. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Between HTC, Microsoft and ATT it is all just too many competing interests. Thanks for the input I will check it out. One question though, if you were going to flash your ROM why not do it with 2.5 or something more than the 2.1?
Hey guys,
I just got my new HTC Touch HD this morning and am im looking to know how these people are getting the weather on there home screen, could anyone tell me?
Thankyou and i would be much appreciated for a quick resolution.
Ben
Hello!
The weather on the homescreen is not part of the normal touch HD software.
To get this (and other features) you will need to flash a 'custom ROM'.
these are basically modified versions of the software, with features taken from newer HTC devices (e.g. touch diamond2 and HD2).
Its not difficult, but you will have to read the instructions carefully and take care, as it is possible to brick your device if you don't do it correctly.
Once you have learnt how it is done, you can flash news ROMs quickly and easily.
If you really want to do it, set yourself a couple of hours, and read through all the info in the 'Flashing' part of the wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
there is additional info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
and ROM's to chose from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
my recommended ROMs are below (see signature)...
However i really dont want to change the stand feel off the phone, cant you change it to the HD2 display? As i dont want new fancy looking buttons that make the phone look arful.
Thanks

you cant get the weather homescreen without using a custom ROM
Try the Topix Windows mobile 6.1 ROM, it will add home screen weather, but does not have many of the other features of the HD2

Hello guys.
I want to start by saying that I'm a real newbie when it comes to phones; I have absolutely no knowledge concering them.
I just bought a real nice (and cheap) HTC Elf (Model nr. HTC_P3450 or ELF0100, I dunno which one is the real model nr.), installed with Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Its current version is: CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Now, to the question:
How do I install another keyboard? The one I have right now is rubbish and I am forced to use a stylus in order to write comfortably.
I need a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to download, install it and apply it. Oh and one more thing, I don't have an USB cable, so I am forced to do everything from the phone (Yes, I have internet and I am using Opera Mini 10).
I haven't installed anything on the phone expect for Opera and some other keyboard layouts (that I uninstalled later)
Before anyone rages, I just want to let you guys know that I have searched for different tutorials. But really I find it all confusing, especially this forum for how big it is. I have even tried to download and install many different keyboard layouts (ex. Unofficial Touch PhonePad (+VGA) and vibrate dialpad), but they just don't seem to work (I'm sure that I'm doing it wrong).
Thanks in advance!
