just got the 8525 brand new out of the box from a guy for 200$
amazing deal.
i upgraded the rom to the cingular WM6 and i love it only problem is it seems slower than the wm5...
like when i open the camera it lags more than it did on wm5 .
I tweaked it out with htctweaks util and it help alot of the startup but is there any way i can fix the camera
2nd question :
i really want to send files thru bluetooth i edited the bluetooth tweak thru htctweak util but still i cant send files
im on aim constantly so plz add me if u can help me or reply
aim = xxcracoviaxx
To send a file over bluetooth, turn it on first and then from File Explorer, Tap & Hold on the file then select Beam File.
Bluetooth File Sending is much easier and simpler when you have Resco File Explorer.
Btw, 200$ is an amazing deal. Also try some better ROMs from xda rather than shipped ones. I always liked the plain vanilla ones.
Great 8525 Deal! & welcome to the forum! Here's a wealth of starter info:

i cant find any vanilla roms could u direct me to one i really want a fast rom
there's plenty of choices in the wm6 subforum. in case you didnt know, a vanilla rom might also be called a clean rom, or even a light rom

Not sure if its the fastest, but it works well for me on ATT, try VP3G's rom, but make sure you read up on HARDSPL and such first, to make sure you don't cause an unnecessary headache for urself.
Here is the link to his ROM:

is there anyway i can install a rom on my mac?
Locate and install Dr. Yar Bluetooth, this may solve your bluetooth problems.
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

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
Hello
P.s. Is this the right thread i am posting i dont know....is this is a wrong thread and if i am not supposed to post here then i am sorry for my noobness.....
well, dought a diamond few days back....its a used piece that has no warrenty.....so i have been thinking of modding it with new rom and s/w.....well basically i am a noob in upgrading roms...but i have seen my friend do it a couple of times,felt its a no sweat process....and i wanna try my hand at it....
well basically i need a good rom....(i know i should have searched the forum for roms....but i need your valuable Wisdom in choosing the right rom cause if i choose a wrong one i might mess things up.....and no i am not Lazy)
well...i want a good rom....plz suggest me a few...i will now mention what i need in my phone....so plz..be patient
i need
Windows Mobile OS Rom(preferably The Latest 6.1 cause its the stable one around....i dont know about 6.5 is it any good..?)
can i have the cube application in the Diamond......it would look cool to use it...
Mobile Office,Pdf Reader,yahoo messenger,a nice all in one media player..(like vlc on pc platform....it plays everything i throw at it...i just love it..)
i would also like to have the Htc Touch Viva Blue Theme.....i dont Know what its called but i saw it on my friend phone and it was pleasent...
Hey, u know that your phone can brick, right?
You really should read a lot about flashing before doing it.
Start >here<
After that proceed here
If you read everything carefully and want to flash a new ROM be shure to
do it step by step as it's suggested.
And I guess you have read it quite often, but you have to find your own ROM.
Try some and then decide which to use. It's most satisfying^^
And yes, 6.1 is more stable than 6.5 for now so you should take a 6.1 ROM.
But have a look at these two ROMs. I have tryed them both besides many other and I used the A.Z.T.O.R. series for a long time -> very stable and really fast! Will use it again when X3 will be released I don't know if they fit all of your personal needs, but especially for some special theme or so on you should search the Thread you posted this request
A.Z.T.O.R.

Good luck!
PS.: Please use a topic that contains some more information next time
oh dang i could only get to the first sentence because i have cdma
Thanks for the reply marcel .....i know that i am risking it...but hey...better to die than live a coward all my life ....i want to go thru this...
and okay nxt time i will name the thread more appealingly....
I would recommend two options. You can use Cloudy 1.1 with and without Manila. I have tried both. The WITH Manila has the TF3D with it which is very nice. However, my preference is WITHOUT Manila and then add SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. This is more user friendly.
Both options are very fast and with lots of free ram (more than 50Mb)...
I am not sure if these work with CDMA - please check first.
By the way, I think there is so much great help on these sites (and PPC Geeks) that you will always find a way to get your phone looking and feeling the way you like.
Good luck!
Oops...!!!
Sorry i forgot to mention..the Diamond i right now have was flashed earlier...so right now its having a custom rom by diamond project team....well i am looking for a move basic rom.....which is almost or most likely official rom...
if you want a official rom you can visit HTC.com and download the latest official rom that have been released. whether or not you can use the custom spl without doing any harm i have no idea about since i do not know anything about roms and flashing i just know that HTC has official roms on their site
I think u can download ROMs from HTC if u own an original-HTC device, right?
I wasn't able to download their ROMs because I bought my Diamond from a German reseller
-> Same phone, nearly the same look but an unsupported IMEI (?)
And again I can propose an A.Z.T.O.R. ROM^^
Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms = A.Z.T.O.R.
And as your phone was flashed before you should have no probs flashing a new ROM^^ So try some and then choose
The Whole Story!!!
Actually The Diamond i Right now have was bought off the gray market..it was actually a orange network locked phone...so the phone is right now unlocked,gray market product....
Okie....i will take a look at AZTOR..
Ahem...
Well i decided to go with this hardspl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 but i cannot seem to understand which radio file to choose....and Roms are Relatively not a big problem...i will try AZTOR OR Duttys..plz gimme a latest stable Radio file...

I need help with rooting my hero I have the newest software out for it (1.56). I'm really confused on how to do this . Some say use the sdk others say use flipz kitchen. I would also like to use the 2.1 Rom. Could someone plz tell me what to do. What's the best way to do this. Where can I find the 2.1 Rom. There's so many things you can do to the hero like having the nexus boot screen. So please someone help me
Umm... to post this topic you had to have looked over 1000 topics that explain it very clearly..
re rooting hero
Yea I looked at a lot of them which way is the best and I have not seen anything about loading roms. How do I know which one to use since I 1.56 the newest software version. Tried flipz and the sdk on. Vista but it does not work on vista.
Ok, I've read every forum from here all the way to modaco and I'm still unable to flash my rom. I did everything right down to a T as far as walk throughs, but Octans is not detecting my phone.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I've changed the compatibility on Octans to XP SP3 and still no go
I'm running windows mobile 6.5 professional on the Omnia I920.
I really want to install Yardi's Custom Rom on my device but I'm starting to lose hope!
Please can someone help me out. I don't know what other info to put on here.
I installed VMWare 7 Workstation on my laptop. I also installed windows xp as a guest system.
So is there anyone who knows what I need to grab without going to modaco, because I am signed up with them, but it doesn't let me download anything that anyone posts as links. I have tried but have successfully failed.
I do plan on updating my xp to sp3 but I need to know everything I need to get my omnia i920 flashed to a kick butt rom.
Thanks in advance to everyone who can help.
What you need is available on modaco unfortunately.
Go here and read this thread www . modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/296019/flashing-using-64bit-windows-7/
I have attached the drivers you need to install. It is not an easy task but once it's done it's done. If you need help I'll try to help you, but please read the thread first.

Actually I got it working on windows xp sp3 installed on vmware...and have flashed my phone prob twenty times now lol. Only issue I have now is I was using Ninja's rom but I couldn't receive picture messages under it. So I flashed back to stock. Well I hate stock. Too much bloatware. I liked your rom AMD but it had some programs that I didn't want on there..and some that I did want on there. Cooking a rom for myself is impossible I've tried every direction on this site and modaco's but no luck.
Anyway I can get you to cook me a custom rom with some stuff taken off and some stuff added in?
Sure. Give me a list.
I downloaded your new rom...I like how it looks. Ok, if you could base the rom off your current release but take off the following if you can:
Bing, Windows Live, Ferrari GT Evolution, Esmertec Jbed (don't even know what i can use that for lol), Pim Backup, O2 Flash, Sktools, and within office mobile can you delete all but word mobile?
I would like to have the bubble breaker game added back in, along with the fm radio, and since I am really not good at figuring things out yet, I love titanium is there a way to get it to work on your rom? And is it easy to put themes on here too? I tried some themes called colored lighting and it crashed the rom on ninja's.
Otherwise I am good ha ha. Thanks for trying to do this, sure wish I could figure out how to cook...i don't think it'll ever happen But I like your roms best outta Ninja's and Yardi. Yardi would be good, but she took the samsung keyboard out among other stuff I can't remember ha ha.
Thanks again. Can't wait to try it out!
I've built a LITE rom if you are interested in trying it before I release it.
also what is colored lightning? got a cab for it?
is the lite rom just a base rom minus the stuff you added to current version you have out? I would love to try it out colored lightning...is a theme from someone I don't have the cab anymore but I do have bluewave now...i found it here on xda...trying to find it for you
here is the link I don't know how to attach cab yet on here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558212
My Lite rom has many deletions. I have also deleted the samsung settings.
The titanium does work, are you looking for chome as well?
does your lite rom still have the samsung keyboard though. I really don't know much about chome..i know it modifies the titanium panels...so I guess that is a good thing to have as well
here is beta

It might just be me, but I'd never flash a phone thru VMWare, Unless of course you want to brick your phone.
Thank you so much. VmWare Workstation 7 is awesome. I installed windows xp sp3 on it...and it runs just like my windows 7 hp 64...only it runs on the desktop. It was much easier to flash thru that then through windows 7. I haven't bricked it yet thank goodness...never had any problems. I've flashed from yardi to your roms to ninja's...about 20 times already ha ha. Now i'm gonna check your lite rom out thank you so much for doing all this, I have been playing with your rom and it's darn new perfect except for the software I don't need..so I'll let ya kno what I think about your lite rom here in about 10 min or so
Ok, just tested your lite rom...looks good but I noticed you don't have the samsung keyboard in it Is there a cab available to put the xt9 keyboard back on...other than that I tested the mms and it worked..i gotta run through other tests but dude it looks sweet Let me know where I can get or how i can get samsung keyboard back on it.
Thanks again!
I hate to be such a pain about the rom...but I don't think the lite rom is going to work for me...I like almost all of the samsung stuff but I hate the verizon bloatware. I do like omarket, that is a neat app. I'm reflashing back to your other new release and if you get a chance to make a rom off it without the stuff i mentioned earlier and keeping the samsung keyboard and other stuff on it...it would be much appreciated. I would cook it myself but that would prob be the end of my phone ha ha.
I do like having 300mb free in the programs that was nice...sorry to keep bothering you.
I've been working on the Lite rom for a while, I'll get to the Base rom in a little while.
ok sounds great just let me know when you have one available for me to try. I do much appreciate it.
hacked up my lastest rom per your request. Let me know if it fits what your looking for.
