I know I am going to cause some trouble by asking this but why?
On taking my new Orange SPV M600 out of the box, I have to agree a bit sluggish, but this was mainly due to Windows.
After a little tweaking with the registry and some third party software it is now flying.
I originally thought that putting third party software over the top of the system would slow it even more, but know, the opposite was true. Using the standard windows task bar and start menu was dreadful. I tried a number of third party softwares such as True Toolbar, Handyswitcher etc, finally settling on Wisbar deluxe.
Everything now opens as soon as it is selected no nasty lag like windows. With some skinning and removal of Customised Today the phone looks great and is performing great. That is apart from my wired hands free. I can now answer and close calls with the button, but it does not activate voice dial when pressed, so I can't dial out hands free. All prevoius phones, Nokia and SE did this no problem, so why not this phone?
Anyway, back to the point of ROMS, why keep flashing?
I just got me one of those SPV M600 things and its not that slow, but I havent added anything else to it yet. Would you care to elaborate on "registry tweaks"? Im new to XDA/phones and havent started messing about yet.
I can not remember all of the tweaks I used, but there is a big section somewhere in here listing them. I have them somewhere on the computer but my filing is a mess and I can't remember what I called the text file or where I put it.
Basically the tweaks are just simple things like increasing cache size for fonts, programs etc. Moving file storage off main memory to SD card, disabling and enabling etc. It is claimed by doing this that the system will speed up a little. I am not sure if any of these actually did anything or if it is just down to Wisbar. All I can say is that when I click on a program it fires up straight away, before it could take a second or two.

good luck

Actually, the rule about flashing is: If it's not broken don't fix it.
People upgrade because they want to get rid of bugs or add features like AKU 2.0 that includes push mail and some other stuff.
Also some brands are better that others in some ways, and worse in other ways. There are several ROMs for the Prophet: Dopod, i-mate, Qtek, Orange. Finally some people cook their own ROMs throwing out useless stuff and adding apps they 'must have'.
All in all if you are pleased with your phone there is no need to change the ROM. When I got my Jamin it had the i-mate 1.xx ROM so I upgraded to 2.13 to get the AKU 2.0 goodies.
I always belive the latest is the greatest, even if its not. I still run the latest. While the release notes say "Added this, fixed that" they also contain a lot of fixes and changes not documented.
Hi all.
Thats actually a very good question. From my experience you dont really need to change anything. Maybe as you said some registry tweaking or some basic settings. However as someone already said, the golden rule should be if it is not broken dont try to fix it.
On the other hand you might want to change things with no reason, just because you can.. and I have to admit that it is hard not to do. Then you have to make sure that you know what you are doing cause otherwise you might end up spending your day in forums try to fix whatever you &^%$ up..
Take care.
Thanks for the replies.
I have to admit, when I first got the phone I started tweaking, then I found this forum and others. Once I discovered unlocking and flashing ROMS, I was very close to doing it. Then I remembered what I used to be like on my PC. With old systems like Win ME, I used to spend about 70% of my time tweaking and fixing, and only 30% actually using the damn thing. Not what I want out of a phone.
Just by messing around with skins, I have already managed to lose my phone dialer all together, I was left with a blank screen, so I had a phone that could not phone. I have it nicely skinned and running now, but I was never able to get the Orange dialer back.
Guess the only time I will flash my ROM is when there is a genuine update and it is covered by warranty, that way if the ROM is bad, Orange can give me another phone.
Thanks
I look at it same way as i look at windows.
My windows isn't broke but I always use Windows Update.
Why do YOU update windows, if you do at all. I guess im not sure if this is advisable, but that's just the way i do it.
Regarding upgrading ROM, MOST of the time, it makes the device faster and adds more features ( i never install extended ROM ) so I always upgrade when there is a new one.
I've downgraded ONCE. And only the RADIO because 1.11 didn't agree with my device.
There are ways to Backup the device, change to a different BRAND/VERISON of ROM then restore the backup. This makes changing ROM very easy.
Anyway, I have nothing better to do with my time so i upgrade whenever a new ROM comes out.
Sorry to but in again but I simply must disagree with the Windows update analogy.
I have my PC set to auto update as well, but Windows XP runs updates in the background and doesn't delete you data in the process.
ROM upgrade means HARD RESET, and unless you have a good backup a long restore process.
Also there is the danger of communication / power interrupt during the flashing and a bricked device as a result.
Finlay, like with your radio ROM, some OS updates have new bugs as well as fixes for the old.
But I do wish it was as simple as updating windows - then I would say, update away, couldn't hurt.
My analogy was based only on the reason for updating, not the process itself that you are stating.
What I mean is if your windows works, why update?.... This thinking... Not the "ritual"...
Sorry i did not explain that clearly. The guy just asked why update if you are content with what you have.... It has nothing to do with "I would update only if the process were simpler" like what you stated.
Sorry for the misunderstanding
I upgrade because I can cook my own ROM with better application suite

Because it's full of holes and most of the updates are plugging them.
I think the main point is you dont have to upgrade, you can if you want, its a matter of choice.
I like to always update, some like to keep the same and have never hard reset in their life. Im on my 9th this week :S but it is a new device and im still figuring it all out.

Hmm, then i guess your advice to NewSPV is to upgrade.
Me too, as i said in earlier post, i will always upgrade to the newest ROM, then just downgrade if i don't like the changes. Unfortunately it isn't as easy to downgrade from Windows SP2 hehehe

I was talking about Windows, not WM5.
My phone came shipped with an AKU2 rom and it's fine - after a little tweaking. I'm not going to risk bricking my pride and joy with a rom upgrade - as so many people have done already on this forum. :wink:
Can anyone name some good places to read about how to flash your device with a new ROM?
Also, I was wondering about what the "extended ROM" is. Is it basically partitioning part of your storage card for use as "internal memory" ?
Thanks for the info guys!

Look at the top left of this very page and you will see a link to the wiki section of this site. How to flash is in there.
The extended rom is where the operator adds thier own customisations (over and above what M$ provide) to the device, for example Orange and O2 add their own options in there and they install when the device is powered up for the first time or when it's hard reset. If you get access to the extended rom (again look in the wiki) you can manipulate what gets installed and if you're really clever, add some of your own stuff.
Don't ask me how to do these things as I have not tried myself, the risk of bricking the device is too great for my liking.
cool, thanks paul

Actually, it is virtually impossible to brick your device by manipulating the contents of the extended ROM. It is only accessed once, during first boot, and event that can be avoided by quickly soft resetting the device.
Basically it acts exactly like "file store" used to on WM 2003 devices, the only difference being it is hidden so ordinary users won't get rid of the operator junk.
In my case it was very nice of i-mate to provide various goodies there like voice dial (should be in ROM) anti virus (not only useless but damaging crap) Skype (could have just downloaded from their site, but nice thought) and backgammon (toys are always welcome).
But now ofter the initial installation it makes all the sense in the world to save these cabs (9MB~) to my PC and have extra 10 MB storage on the device.
I just discovered a new update for the Shift - this time in the telephone software section.
My download using GMS will take about six hours...
Any experiences with this update???
Axel
Where?
Where can you see that update? In HTC official web-page I haven't found anything like that...
Hi,
you can find it in HTC Club. To go there you have to register first. I've just read it and I do not really understand it. It sounds to me as if they talked about a different device. And I think my ROM to be newer than the one they offer there. But as I said it does not make sense to me.
It is so strange. They talk of start and settings and usb connection and so on, but that is not supposed to work unless it was liberated. So that's why I do not understand what they are talking about. Can anyone clarify?
S.
I have nothing in "Phone software updates"
or should I look elsewhere?!

Hi,
you find it in HTC Clulb. Go to "My Downloads" and then "Phone Software Update". And there you see the a picture of the Shift.
I don't want to install it, because the instruction says that everything is lost and I am under the impression that the software is older than the one on my Shift.

Hi Einsiedler,
do you really want to install the download? Isn't the ROM in your Shift newer than the one you are downloading? I compared the screenshot on the page with the information I found in Snapvue. Cannot find the "device information" when I go over "start" and "settings". Isn't all very strange as this possibility isn't supposed to work? I do not get it.
S.
I'll download it (still three hours left) and check this page again tomorrow morning.
Resetting the WM side would at least give me another 14 days playing with the Palm emulator...

Very strange update indeed. It seems that it is for the German version Shift only and furthermore for older ROM-Versions. The ROM-Version to compare in a picture shown is dated 05/10/07 (Number 1.06.405.1 WWE). My Shift is one of the first delivered in Germany and its ROM-Version is 1.30.407.0 GER) - so it seems to be way younger then the one in the illustration.
Before downloading the 67,5 MB-file you have to confirm a serious warning that any program or data stored by you will be lost after installing the update. If you confirm - did it on my notebook, not on the Shift! - you get the message: "This will install TM2008_GER Version 16.00.1449 on your computer."
"TM" apparently means "Trend Micro" because the file creates the folder "Trend Micro" and expands itself therein to the folder "setup". So IMO it's only an update of the internet security software. By the way: I run "Trend Micro" and my version number is 16.10.1106 - way younger than the download version as well.
So what? Another example of the strange behaviour of a strange company. That's all.

PS: I was unable to upload the file ("Database error").

I'm not german so dont have the file in htcclub
but if you are sure it is TM then lol.
you can still upload it to rapidshare.com, i'd like to see it.
(the xda-devs attachments can't be larger than 8MB, that's why your upload failed)
For the Phone software update, if you've register a htc smartphone or wm phone, the update is for those phones.
If you registered shift only, there's no update software inside the PSU !
here you find the screenshot from the htc webste (htc e-club):

here you can download the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/112149681/TM2008_GER.exe.html
yeah that screenshot explains, it is a generic page that the phone update software link will show you if there is an update.
but I guess they intended this trendmicro thing for the other downloads section, they just made an error and uploaded it to phone update section.
in my country they'd call this thread "storm in a glass of water"
i agree.....
Hi,
so things seem to have become much clearer and I do not have to upload the file anymore. Seems that some of you folks do not need any sleep.
I do not know too much about all these things, but apparently I was right that it was a very strange update, as it isn't an update at all or a falsely declared one.
In the tread "HTC sucks" someone made the suggestion to start a blog in which to make public the ridiculous support of HTC. As I said I do not know enough about the way to do these things, but done it should be. HTC really, really sucks when it comes to support. I have sent them several emails. Nothing but a standardized answer that they will answer in some cosmic future.
S.
This update has Nothing to do with WM rom!
The setup file unpacks to ...program files/trend micro/... and so I aborted the installation. No bad results, but waste of time.
Have a nice and sunny weekend.

I have searched high and low for a cab file for this app. I got a T-Mobile software upgrade for my TP2. Cool, it was alright, nothing by comparison to NRG's ROM. I did however lose a few apps that were pretty cool: Co-Pilot,Visual Voicemail,etc.
The one that is of importance, though, is the Mobile Backup App. I have checked the threads on here and have ended up with nothing. I DO KNOW this file exists for this format of Windows Mobile. I tried to copy the correct files to my SD Card, but apparently am missing some and don't know what to look for anyway.
So, if somebody out there knows what's up with a cab or exe or files that I could extract from the stock rom, I would appreciate a little "heads up." Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: Thanks to SirPhunkee, we have a cab for any T-Mo users that is tested and works perfect on our TP2's. Here's his link to the cab

Did we already have you try this cab? I've handed it to a couple of people recently, can't remember if you were one of them
It's the tmo mobile backup that was extracted from the tmo HD2 ROM, and I think it works on the TP2...too Even if it's looking like it's running ok, make sure you test the sync in both directions (saving to their server and backing up from it) before you rely on it.
I still highly recommend myphone to accomplish the same tasks and more, but this is admittedly a lean solution, so definitely use whichever works best for you
THANK YOU!!

Yes, that HD2 thread is where I found this copy, but I thought it was the same as WarlockW's posted cab (which didn't have as handy as this copy). I suspect that they're not different by phone model, but rather by WM version...but I'm just guessing there

You have to call T-Mobile and get them to set this app up on your "plan." What I mean is, it IS free to add to you payment plan, but you actually have to call customer care and get them to add it, but like I said it's FREE. Don't ask me why, but they just have it set up that way. I had the same problem, and it took like 10 minutes from dialing their number to having the software work. It's apparently a matter of account settings or something that they have to tweak.

ok, this is just a wilda$$ guess...but isn't it desirable in some cases (like to correct MMS pic size issues) to have some agent ID in your registy other than what the phone actually is? Maybe possible that NRG bakes that in? Or, maybe it just only acceps a certain specific range of WM versions?

It's a key somewhere in the registry that indicates what model of phone it is (independent of the IMEI), I believe it's used to identify it to the network for things like what size MMS files the phone can handle, etc...and I'm just surmising this becasue I recall that's where I saw the references to it. So, I would probably suggest looking in any threads related to MMS size issues, you'll probably see someone make a reference to a regedit or cab that makes that change, you can reverse-engineer the rest from there I guess.
I rarely go through any of the forum sections other than the rhodium boards and the Tmo HD2 section, so you can probably confine your search to those places if it helps. I'll keep my eyes open for it too.
Still no luck, sir phunkee. I am hoping that when I flash this newest NRG Rom, maybe I will have some luck, but to be honest, I am kinda tired of flashing his new ROM's cuz, they are "supposedly" faster or better, etc.
We will see, but hopefully someone will have a cab or link that could lead me somewhere.
Josh's Black http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572938 came with Mobile Back Up, Visual Voicemail, Blockbuster, My Account, and the proper keyboard (after initial startup) cooked into the Rom... great for T-mo users like us... does not have the newer tabs, but I find I don't use those much anyway!
I installed the Full Version...
Now if I could just get rid of the transparent slide and make it stock again? (just for clarification... not slider or icons)
Many Thanks Guys! Been looking for this.

thats why i didnt install update afraid it might jack up my hd2.wait and see what the pros do
send a report to microsoft saying your hd2 cant update
lol, someone should try and use the update for there hd2 and tell us how it goes,
believe it or not, i wouldn't be surprised if some hd2's update good and some don't.
we'll let the dev's make a new rom for this than.

Same thing here with DFT build for HD2, registry error and it backed out.
lol Guys, why would the update work, as its meant for an HD7, not a reg hacked HD2.??? THe hardware specs are not the same so the drivers will have been changed/modded so it just aint gonna happen.
Dont bother trying to apply the update, we'll have to all wait until the new rom is dumped and re-hacked.
You will also know that the new rom will block chevron unlocking, although schaps is on the case, google for more info

Nice to hear this, either way trying wouldn't have hurt anyone.
I am using HD2 with WP7. Itried earlier to install the update, I have received an error.
Link to the Zune error here:

Some people are just born dumb.
i hate to say i told you so but i cant resist.
I did say that there would be a way for MS to identify our HD2s, there will be some common reg entry or file in the original DFT release that they have scanned for and i got slated for it. oh well, going to have to wait for a updated ROM my thinks, and based on the fact that this update only changes the way in which our phones get updated i dont think there is any point in the slightest in installing this.

We all have to wait for dev's to cook this into there roms, either way this
isn't that much of a big update, so it's really not worth it.

I'm see no reason why Microsoft wouldn't be able read your phone's IMEI before updating. It's a more reliable model identifier than anything in the registry, and will instantly tell them they're dealing with a HD2.
Indeed, not much point in trying to apply this update. At best, you gain very little (no new features). At worst, you're going to have to reflash.

enjoy this great news
Very happy!
DFT SIMPLY ROCKS the planet! HD2 Owners have to be happy
Woohoo!
We all know it's possible.
Now it's just the waiting game.
Still at a loss... what exactly is NoDo?
Copy and paste, marketplace search and bug fixes and the name NoDo is a dig at android (No doughnut)
Wow. can't wait. Anyone know if any navigation has been added?

Actually it isn't. It was a Microsoft In-joke since one of their employees forgot to bring Donuts to a meeting or something.
wow! i can't wait .. happy hd2 owner here
Bravo bravo DFT
Two thumbs up from this guy!
Although this is really really nice, i am in a "dilemma" right now
Trying Dual boot right now still with an old ROM or wait until NoDo gets finally released.
Anyway, thumbs up for their great work!
Great! Looking forward to testing this!
I've got WP7 running all the time and I love it.
with bated breath I await this update.
Never mind the update, what we need is an updater, Zune can do it so its possible, just need to fine out exactly what it does / how it does it!
^^^^^^^^ ..
True, because no matter what DFT brought us today, they won't be supporting the HD2 (especially WP7 on it) forever .
But at the meantime, who cares !!!
WE HAVE NODO
I vote the notion of having ability to update our beloved HD2 using Zune itself... This way we have more secure path for the future upgrades but I don't know how hard this could be?
but so far, DFT is keeping HD2 alive and mango is far far away...
Thanks DFT

well as far as i can tell, and not having a native WP7 device means thats not very much, the HD2 has two potential issues, firstly, and most obviously, Zune apparently detects either a reg entry or a system file difference that identifies the HD2 as an HD2
secondly, when the device does its reboot thing before atempting a backup Windows 7 detects and installes a LEO device driver.
now it does the second thing even when you use a windows system that has never had a LEO attached, so something during the restart/flash screen is shouting LEO
now the question is, is Zune really detecting a reg entry / file issue, or is it the LEO device driver....
whats your thoughts?
it could of course be both, what would be handy is a complete reg dump of a HD2 and the WP7 device our ROM comes from to see if there is any likely differences that may be the reason.
likewise it would be handy to get ahold of the driver that is installed for the WP7 device our ROM comes from when it goes in to updating mode, could it be as simple as messing about with some hardware IDs and system driver files on the PC? doubt it, but good as place as any to start
