Ok, I have my Wing and im running touch it... its cool but this device is still slow... i have it over clocked and pagepooled... my brother has 8125 and its so much faster and i started to think that it was something wrong with my phone... Is anyone else having this problem? imean i touch the screen and it does not respond in realtime it sometimes takes up to 3 or 4 seconds... when writing messages it takes forever its just got to the point where it is very irritating... is there anything i can do to get my wing up to par where it wont seem sooooo slow?
Im not sure. Im overclocked and have pagepool at 6 and mine runs pretty quick.
Sounds like you may be overclocking it a little too far. Try lowering the OC and see if that helps.
Try installing a new Rom.
My T-mobile Wing used to be EXTREMELY slow with the stock T-mobile Rom on there ... it would always freeze and give me that little round hourglass thing all the time for the dumbest crap ... like checking new SMS msgs...but the moment I installed the PDAVIET v14 rom on there, the difference in speed was instantaneous. Afterwards, I installed batterystatus and overclocked it to 273mhz, and it runs like a charm. Installing the PDAVIET rom was the best thing I ever did, and I don't know how I survived this long without it!
^^^ thanks... how did you ever get v14 to install? i thought there were problems getting it onto the wingand it was missing programs...
My friend helped me do it, so unfortunately I don't have the exact process. From my understanding, you have to get past the CID check in order to install it since it's not an official tmobile rom.
Yeah mine is kinda slow too, do you really recomend installing that Touchflow thing (i dont know much about anything, just got my wing yesterday).

TouchFlo is just a specific application that's originates from the HTC Touch device... but people have ported it over into Rom's built for most htc devices.
Here is a demo of the touchflo, so you can see what it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ8TQ9Rr_7E
The touchflo cube itself is pointless to me ... it's just something that came out to make it 'prettier' and IMO it's just a gimic aimed towards the iPhone. I DO like that you can scroll now without the use of the scrollbars... and I wouldn't be able to live without that now that I have it.
I DO reccommend installing a 3rd party Rom on your phone, and you currently have the option of 2 roms.
There are other roms out there, but you want to make sure you install one that is specifically made for the wing, bc if you don't you're going to run into problems such as, the keys on the keyboard not lining up. The Tmobile wing is the HTC "atlas" which is a variant of the HTC Herald. The keyboard on the Wing (atlas) is different than the one of the herald, so when you start using certain keys/symbols, you get something else.
There are currently 2 3rd party Roms that are made specifically for the Wing , and they are
Touch-IT
and
PDAVIET
I am currently running the PDAVIET v14 rom and you will be surprised as to how much faster your wing will run just by installing a NON tmobile rom.... on top of that, you can overclock your wing with a program called batterystatus which will overclock the processor from the default 201 to whatever you want. Suggestion, Dont' overlock to more than 273-286 or so, bc your wing will crash.... but you can find some posts on this site where users discuss their clocking speeds.

The Touch-IT rom final just got released today, and is available for download here.
Touch-IT for The Wing Full and Lite Ed.
I am actually in the middle of installing this Rom as I am typing, but I have heard really good things about it ... so I am anxious to try it out.
I suggest you take a look at Tyler's guide to Wing Modding.
Newbies Guide to Herald
and also take a look at the Herald WIKI page which may help answer a lot of questions you may have.

Wow thanx a lot, really helped me out a lot.
Not a lot of people will go all out like that to a newbie, so i really appreciate it .
Not a prob bro. Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with. That's the beauty of this place ... everyone helps each other... and I enjoy helping out, bc people help me out when I need it.

Hey Duprade,
Since I ran into a lot of problems bricking/unbricking the last time that I installed a new rom, I don't want to rush through it this time. I am kind of in the middle of the two roms that you said earlier, the touch_it and the pdaviet 14. Could you update us with your experience with both and which one you recommend personally. i am kind of leaning towards the pdaviet since i don't want some programs that come with the touch_it but i would like to hear someone more experiences comments comparing them as well. thanks in advance.... by the way my device is locked does that mean that i can not install the pdaviet v14 i thought the issue was resolved?
Totaly Lost Man! Help!!!!
I am currently running the PDAVIET rom. I was experimenting with the Touch-IT rom, but I am used to the PDAVIET rom and since I use my phone for work and all my work correspondence comes directly to my phone, I have to have it in working order at all times.
I would reccommend that you install both ROMs and test them both out to see which one you like best, because until you try them, you won't know which one YOU will like best.
If you follow the link I posted for the PDAVIIET rom, just follow the directions for the installation that I posted.
The Touch-IT rom installs using the ASERG method, which you can find the directions on installing it when you download the necessary files.
Okay, without flashing a new rom, and having to reinstall all my programs (speaking of that, Sprite backup didn't work for me, different story-comments?)
Is there any way to speed it up? Disable startup processes?
I've had to reset mine about 2-5 times in 48 hours...P I E C E O F C R A P...(not really a POS, just pissing me off)

there has always been probelms with this program, a shame cuz I heard they implemented a new feature allowing you to restore even after switching roms
Is there any way to speed it up? Disable startup processes?
for sure, just navigate to \windows\startup...a simple search of what is in that folder will let you know what you use and what you can delete.

A new favourite tool of mine since having the herald is sktools. I never really used it before but there is an application associated with sktools that allows you to imitate hibernation of the device which will bring your program memory to just below what it was after boot up.
hope that helps....maybe one day i'll even make a vanilla rom (hopefully someone will make one quiker) so that these problems with it becoming slow disappear.
cheers
Now the recent problem I've been having is that when the device slows down, and freezes up, it unfreezes and theres a part of the screen that seems to be "stuck" in every app I use, until I restart...WtF?
EDIT: Oh, and SKTools looks good, but I'm not paying for programs. I'm broke just from buying the Herald
Ok...so i have done quite a bit of reading on this forum for the past couple months. I purchased a Wing from tmobile and absolutly love it. I have since then changed to the touchflo rom and installed the battstatus and it runs like a champ, couldnt ask for more.
hey i'm new to this stuff and i tried installing a new rom but my phone is now bricked i believe, anyway to unbrick it?
That's why you are a real gem of this place. I see you always answer people's questions (many answers could be found by a simple search) promptly and patiently, including mine.
I'm waiting to get a good deal on a 4gb+ memory card, then I will try to install the PDAVIET rom, looks thrilling to me.
Thanks bro!! If you are in the same city as mine (Milwaukee), I'd buy you drinks.

Thank you for the comments.
Regarding your Rom, I'd actually suggest trying out ITJE's TouchIT 2.3 over the PDAVIET Rom at this time.

Hi all, iv had a wonder around the forum mannyyy helpful users around doing grate things with the mobile. I’ve just got a HTC Elfin a few days ago and been looking for things to do with it, things to update, new ways of using it. I was wondering if there was a list of things anyone feels i should put on a brand new one? such as any updates, new browser anything you guys and girls think are necessities of just grate to have on the phone?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Edit-
Operator version- 23.227.1.801
ROM version- 2.27.80.1 WWE
ROM date- 12/11/07
Radio version- 03.18.90
Protocol version- 4.1.13.60
Hello and congrats to your new phone! You will like it
I would suggest you to get the Core Player because i think its the best Mediaplayer for Pocket pc!
Look here for information!
Additionally i would recommend to use the Total commander file explorer because the windows one sucks !
You can find the Totalcommander app Here
There are maaaaany other tons of useful apps you just need imagination!
Have fun ruling the world
I would recommend you Onyx or gullum's ROM with manila2d and opera mobile (if it's not included in ROM).
woohoo...another member for elf forum
welcome aboard buddy....
like you said this is the place to be...where great customization on our device can be done
but there is one golden rule and my number one advice. pls mind the capital...but you really need to accept this advice.
GET TO KNOW YOUR DEVICE NOW. DONT THINK ABT FLASHING OR ROM UPDATING NOW. BECAUSE YOU GOTTA LEARN YOUR DEVICE FIRST AND KNOW HOW TO USE THE LITTLE FUNCTION AVAILABLE ON THE DEVICE
A LOT OF NEW ELF USERS GET THEMSELVES INTO TROUBLE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND PERFORM UPGRADES JUS LIKE THAT..AND THEIR DEVICES END UP DEAD
SO ENJOY AND LEARN YOUR DEVICE...THEN VIST HERE TO LEARN ABT UPDATING AND TROUBLESHOOTING IN ADVANCE....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721
BELIEVE ME...THIS REALLY DOES SAVE A LOT OF TIME
now the big capital part is over...i suggest u try Spb Mobile Shell 2.1 to get you started on customizing your device...this cud really get u to like ur device the better
and yep the post above me....says it all..abt Onyx and gullum's rom
and this is why i mentioned the advice...remembere ur elf needs to be unlocked to accept any SOFTWARE update...and u need to unlock it with the proper USPL intended for your device
so like i said...take some time to learn the stuffs here...dont throw urself into any ROM upgrading
once again...welcome aboard
Thanks all , so far today iv unlocked my phone and put the core player on it , had several issues with the wonderful microsucks ActiveSync at first not connecting after asking me to key in its pin, then just being a random pain and not connecting.. for a few hours on and off... least i can now change from Orange and back to O2 and claim £80 worth of free credit from them ^_^
as sugested im going to get use to the phone first before updating, i know what i can be like with idle hands.. acidently killed a motherboard of a rather new and expensive PC because i wanted to update the bios because it was 3am and i wasnt tired.. ye that didnt turn out so gd as the PSU blew mid flash..
Id just like to say a thanks to everyone hear and to keep up the grait work , think next ill have a look at new browsers and the 25 free softwares see whats fun
Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.
Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!
I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good
????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful
Hi, i want to try the new version of WinMo!!! but i don't find an specific rom for my Touch Dual . any of you have tried WinMo 6.5 on a HTC touch Dual with decent results?
Thanks!
Are they giving away nikis? I see a lot of newcomers and the kind that doesnt like the search button...
There is one test rom only, strangely on the upgrade section. You will have to find it, think of it as a quest.
You can't just answer the damn question? who do you think you are?
wow... 4 posts, 3 questions and 1 piss contest, congratulations, your a great addition to the forum already.
If you read correcly you'll see that I DID answer his question.

Please read the threads in the Niki upgrade etc section. You are not the first to ask these questions, you will find your anwers if you search
I guarantee you will not only find th eansweres to your questions, but you will learn along the way. This will help you when customizing your Niki.
Hmm..
I hardly make any posts here but I'm rather suprised about the lack of "try before you cry" on this one.
To actually do something Ontopic then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=404 over there you'll indeed find several 6.5 Roms for the Niki, you could also use the 6.5 kitchen that you'll find in that section. For a lightweight version just pick one of the many "Lite" versions of the roms you'll find in there.
However.. before you even try to upgrade anything, please do yourself a favour and read up a bit on SSPL/HardSPL/Radio upgrades and perhaps CID/ unlock if required
And if you Do try to upgrade your rom, make sure it's been given the old HardSPL, a suitable radio and.. After THAT.. a new rom.
Not doing so will have you stranded in, IF you're lucky, the wonderful land of mtty which is a deep dark and interesting pit that you'll learn to love once you've bricked your device for the first time
Your chances of ending up there are woven into the fabric of skillpoints you've collected on the "Read you must first, not Do!"-spell btw..
Good Luck!
Hi all,
Im new to blogs so please be kind, i know this is probably something really easy to do, but im having problems doing it.
Im trying to run the darkstone hd2 froyo rom through harret.exe. I've downloaded the rom and have placed it on the root of my memory card aswell as harret.exe the media folder to fix sound and the other random files that i was told to download with harret.exe.
I have tried to run harret.exe but it just stops about 5 lines in when its trying to "boot" the "karnel"
Can anybody help me get it working. I've regretted buying this phone from day one when i realised how **** windows actually is and theres finally a fix (although not complete, or perminent)
If someone could just show me how you do it from start to finish on a video or something id really appreciate it, ive tried looking on youtube, but everythings either fake, or it misses steps out.
Many thanks
Jamie
