Htc touch dual (neon) wm6.5

hi
Can some one please tell me if there is wm6.5 available for telstra htc touch dual(neon)? and where can i download it from?
i am really tired of searching
thanks

after working on niki wm6.5 rom, i finally made it work on my htc neon.
it will shortly be available for everyone.

Wow as a neon user, I am looking forward to trying it out. Can't wait..

bump!
I am also looking for a neon rom.
Hope you have time to upload it soon
Cheers

I too am watching this thread as my attempts to cook one have failed dismally.

well while we wait here is original HTC Touch Dual 850 Rom

Ok I got one working!
not the best way, but download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021
Get a hex editor and change NIKI100 to NEON200
Flash then away you go!.
im guessing some things wont work, but it atleast boots.
I couldnt any of my cooked ones to boot past the loading screen.

ok after the whole day of use, everything but the camera button seems to work. the camera itself works fine.
Battery life just lasted the day, but im guessing thats to do with HSDPA so I'm going to disable it and see how it goes tomorrow.
Other than that, runs great!

Tried the above one looks good, loads, but keyboard doesn't work. Will try one of the nike 20 key ones later today.

Both work,
20 key version you can use the keys as numbers only. Radio disappears in both versions. Until there is a proper neon 6.5 version out there I will stick with 6.1

This is for the Niki, not the Neon. It might work to boot, but it is still the wrong device.

disable orange branding

hi, I'm Ed, and ive got a big problem with my htc touch 3g, and i think its time to sort it out. Okay, my touch 3g is on orange (contract) and obviously i wanted the original touchflo 2d on it (Black and Blue-ish kind of theme) but, instead it gave me two crap choices of ORANGE BRANDED themes, the really awfull orange(TM) homescreen theme, or just a wierd black-on-white version of touchflo 2d. I chose the wierd touchflo, but honestly, i dont want either. I just want atleast the ORIGINAL M2D THEME, or the choice for others. Ive been trying to resolve this problem by using numerous options, ive downloaded Manilla 2D customizer, downloaded soo many themes (atleast 7 now) and none of them work, there is alway some problem with it, Ive tried nearly every recomended option. All I want, is to be able to just have a normal htc touch 3g software on it with a normal touchflo on it. I REALLY want to get rid of this orange(TM) branded stuff on it, (including that stupid 'unique manager') on it. Please, is there anybody that understands my problem, and can give me a step-by-step guide on how to do it. Please reply (PLEASE)

Hi Ed,
Though i don't have an Orange brand Jade i understand your problem; there are several threads on this forum about it.
If you really wanna get rid of all the orange stuff, there's no other choice i guess then to unlock your phone (which is not sim unlock) using HardSPL s you can flash another ROM.
Put on your reading glasses and start over here:

and here:

which is almost a step by step instruction.
hope it works out for ya

Out of curiosity, how different is Orange TF from the default TF (the blue background). Are the tabs different, what else is different. Any screen shot ? (Need to understand the situation before offering useful assistance)

There are two options for TF with orange customers. One is basicaly the normal Touch Flo with orange's background on the home page, and a few different tabs (an "Orange World" on and a few others missing, Google Maps at least iirc). The other is one similar to other, older Orange phones, with a shortcut menu on the home screen, which I hate and so didn't actualy use and cant tell you much about.
Ed, if you just want the normal touchflo I definatly saw an option to change it before i flashed mine, I think it was a program in the Start > Programs screen just called "Change Orange Screen" or something similar.

the main reason i unlocked the phone (HSPL) and flashed the WM6.5 overloaded ROM was to get away from the Orange crap too!
They have seriously messed with the network/internet side of things... i was horrified to see i could not connect to the interent with Wifi... i managed to get it to do it... but it took some messing about and its a case of forcing it.. and it not really liking it!
with this overloaded rom and the touch flow running (instead of windows default like i did have lol) i think its great! Its really built around Wifi and then using Hspda or what ever it is as a second option if wifi's not available! well worth re-flashing too!
i just want to know how i change the order of the icons at the bottom... messages, email, footprint etc
dont really see what foot print is tbh haha!

Do a hard reset then soft reset before the phone can customize. All the orange stuff is loaded after the main hard reset

ba upgrade wm6 to 6.5

Hi can anyone please tell me how to upgrade my ba to wm 6.5 from wm 6? , i used the wizard to upgrade from wm2003 to wm6 about 2 yrs ago, any help much appreciated, love this pda and i love using it as a phone too

basicly, when your device is already upgraded, there is not much to do.
you probably don't have to worry about sim lock and radio roms and storage sizes anymore, since apparently, it all worked fine so far.
so all you need to do is download any wm6.5 rom, unpack it, and make a RUU folder, containing the rom itself (nk.nbf) and a few other files named for example maupgradeut_noid.exe and getdevicedata and so on.
then you hard reset your device by pressing camera+record+power+reset and set the menu options clear registry hive and format storage to "YES" and enable kitl to "NO" using the camera and record buttons to flip and switch, confirm that with the mail button.
then you put your device into bootloader mode by pressing reset+record+power, kill active sync, connect the device to the pc and start maupgradeut_noid. if the 2nd screen shows you at least the version of the rom you go to, you are fine and can start the upgrade.
as soon as it is finished, use the hard reset method described above to prepare the device for the first start and then you might want to use "getting started" on the device to set it up and set up sync to get your pim data back. i shortened this description as you might remember a lot of stuff, or so i hope. most of what i wrote should ring a bell, if not, please feel free to have a look in the wizard for upgrades from wm5 to wm6 -=here=- or simply ask again, what troubles you.
with best regards

hi Tony thanks 4 ure help, when u say any rom is that only those specific for ba or are they all universal? i downloaded WM65-23052 & EnergyROM_RAPHAEL_20090811_Titanium or should i stick to the ones on the ba wizard page eg r6? i guess its the latter

of course you can only use blueangel roms found in the ba wm6 section, i mean, if you have a dvd writer that can read any disk, you wouldn't shove a slice of salami in there, would you?
the roms are so far interchangable as being WWE and work with every BA worldwide, but you need a blueangel rom, because of the rom's structure, memory consumption, drivers and so on, and after all, the buttons and the display resolution.
i once had a case, where someone tried to flash a charmer rom to a ba, that rom was way too big, and also the files were completely different, so he couldn't get through with it on his own and asked, because he would have messed up his ba with that pretty bad.
so, conclusively, 23052 builds are nice, but wait, till it's coming for the BA. i think d-two is working on it, maybe you want to have a look at the 23004 german rom thread, i asked him and he is gonna make an english version too, but until then you might want to catch status updates there.

Tony thanks it worked awsome phone, i used xplodes english rom, is there much difference between that & the german one? who needs an iphone eh again many thanks will lookout for d2s new ba release cheers

with the current releases there are no major differences between d-two's and xplode's build (except for the language) but what i wrote was about the next builds, they're both working on 23047 or 23052 builds, but d-two has the advantage that he has overcome the know sync and sms bugs, so his build will probably be the first of those two to come out. although he is rather new to this forum and so far he only supported his own wm6.5 build 23004 german, that is a guy you better keep an eye on. he is making fast progress and maybe will become one of the major chefs soon.

hi again please can you tell me how to do a wm6.5 hard reset & also how to get into into bootloader mode as to reload a new rom eg d2's, also i did notice there were 2 excel icons in msoffice maybe a bug many thanks

actually i solved it myself, just gotta be quicker with the camera & record buttons cheers

Hi Tony everything on explodes exroms installed ok except jbed, is that java? Also i looked at xplodes manila thats really nice, i guess thats on the latest phones , its like a mini o/s, so u would just install that after u install a 6.5 rom?

yes, jbed is the java applet manager.
for manila, i wouldn't say it is a mini os, it is more of an alternative gui, it replaces the titanium today screen with a touchflo one, but it also just features basic functions, photo viewing, music playing and does not alter the start menu or any add-on apps, most of the functions are also available in titanium or for titanium as an add-in, let's say facebook or stuff like that.
the time to install doesn't really matter, you can also install other apps first, whatever, you only need to know that after you install it, you have to deactivate "default" in today plug-ins and also all the others, because you can have only manila as your today plugin then and then you should find a "touch to start touchflo" button on your today screen and then you'll see, whether it works or not. that really depends from user to user, and between the different devices, roms, countries and manila versions, maybe you have to try several versions before you actually find one that runs in an acceptable speed, because that seems to be the general issue when it comes to porting manila.

thanks i may just stick 2 what i have, d2,s new 6.5.1 rom is beta so would that except xplodes extrom 23004 cabs? or is it best to wait for him to put his own one out?

thanks i may just stick with what i have, D2's new rom 6.5.1 is that compatible with xplodes 23004 extrom or is it best to wait for d2 to bring his own one out?

d-two said he wanted to release one, maybe till the weekend he's done putting it together.

need help with removing tachi dialer and enabling keyboards

Hello everyone.
Recently i updated my HTC Touch Diamond to WM 6.5. Everything installed just the way it supposed to have. But i got 2 issues which makes me wanna come back to my old rom.
Previously i got old 1.93.479.3 stock rom but i needed to install it because i bough my phone from guy in sweden (im from poland) and needed rom in my native language.
To update i used Windows Revolution Manila 2.1 Edition 1.1A (23017) by mike1986 which had both windows mobile 6.5 and TF3d 2.1. And generally i love my new rom. Exception is 2 things:
1. What i cannot digest is the dialer. I just dont like. It is tachi's dialer with black skin on it. I would like to go back to my stock Diamond dialer (if it possible with the slider).
Dont get me wrong. Im not the type of guy who writes complain and wait for ready answer. I tried to make it on my own for 2 days now. I managed to change tachi's skin to white and it looked much better but to look great i need old white one. I found 3 cabs with that but none of that actually made things better (installed all: Diamond_PhoneCanvas_full_Eng_without_battery_icon.cab , xmatrix_PhoneDialerBlackS2A.cab. and Diamond_PhoneCanvas_Slide.cab - dont remember from where on xda i get it - sorry).
When i install any of them, tachi is gone but instead getting my stock diamond dialer i get wm dialer but without any skin - jsut black and white. When i choose to not use HTC dialer i get wm dialer again but with skin on it.
Dunno what im doing wrong but it is possibility that this is it - im a lumberjack not a telephone soft expert.
2. Dont know why, dont know how but in my new soft keyboard choosing is limited to only 1 position. I cant change keyboard layout in fly. Instead i need to run some .cab to which shortcut i have in settings area. Can i do something about it? I found already intelwrite for my new windows mobile but sometimes i need to change layout to phone because it is hard holding something (driving wheel or something else).
I wont bother u any more and im just counting that u will find a little time to help me. Thanks in advance.

auto rotate, shortcuts, does flashing turn an HD into an HD2

Hallo boys and girls. Thanks to this forum I have learned how to flash my Touch HD ROM and have had fun with several different ones. But I still find a few things I can't find the simple answer to and I promise I have searched a lot before posting.
1) Rotation. Some ROMs seem to auto rotate, some partially autorotate, some need G-Sensor and some use MaxManila. I can't quite work out what is supposed to happen. Is there such a thing as a ROM where every screen rotates without having to do anything. XannyTech with MaxManila seemed to rotate everything but only after rotation is switched on (derr). With G Sensor, you seem to need to access each application, do the stylus thing and reset.
Have I got that right or am I missing something blindingly obvious?
2) Is it a Touch HD or HD2? Sometimes when I am looking for other apps, there are versions for HD and for HD2. After I have installed the new ROM, does my device "think" it is an HD or HD2?
3) From many posts, I gain the opinion that Sense (Manila) 2.1 is not as hard on resources as Sense 2.5. But shortcuts to programs are only available on 2.5 (I found someone working on this for 2.1 but not released yet). I think Agenda view is also only on 2.5.
4) On most of the new ROMs I flashed, the phone can hang quite badly sometimes. It seems to be mostly when accessing contacts. I have gone back to a ROM with Sense 2.1 now to see if it is a 2.1 vs 2.5 thing. Is there something else I should try, is it to do with HTC Messaging or just part of the fun of trying different ROMs?
5) And how should I work out whether to install an app to device or storage card - which is "best" and why?
Trying different ROMS and reading the posts here is good fun (mostly) so thanks to you all for that. But sometimes to flash and re-set up everything up so I am ready for work with everything, satnav, contacts all ready and working for Monday can take quite a long time so your help is always appreciated. Thanks.
