Hello,

Hi im a newbie to this. I can see people talking about new ROM and stuff. Why would you change the ROM? what does it do? Is it because og language problems? Considering byeing the O2 xda orbit from Germany. Do I need to change any software gettin it to Denmark? Do I need to change the ROM? Cheers
The two main reasons you would want to change roms are:
1) To get a rom in your local language so that all the menus and keyboards are localized
2) Some roms are better than others: more stable (fewer hangs), faster, and fewer glitches.
However, it is sometimes difficult to get good comparative information unless someone spends time using the different roms and/or does some benchmark tests and shares their experience on forums like this.
For the Aretmis there are a number of different roms but we still don't have much info on their relative merits.
Is there a Danish ROM edition?
If I buy the O2 XDA orbit in germany, what ROM should I use to convert it to Danish P3300 standard. I can see only Norweigan and Swedish ROM editions. What is the danish? Is it easy to reconfigure? Is it freeware?
Thanks
I don't know if there is a Danish rom floating around. Generally, if you do not find the rom at the xda ftp site it probably hasn't been shared on the internet.
Changing rom means you would have to unlock your device (imei-unlock) which at present can only be done by paying some 30 euros. Search for imei-unlock within the Artemis forum. Once you unlock it you can change rom. You can also find the procedure in this forum. The overall procedure is not difficult but you should be aware that you will be voiding any warranties.
The easiest solution I would think is to buy a Danish HTC P3300 (unless they have not come out with a local version).
o2 rom
I recently purchased a tytn II from Great Britian and it has O2 rom. I didnt know that o2 rom does not allow htcs rom with the htc interfaces and operating applications to be used.

Is there any way to do this? an un branded rom that I can Run with T-mobile without brickin the phone cuz if not I will be selling it and headed for a touch HD
**********ANYONE WHO WANTS TO P.I.M.P OUT THEIR HTC TOUCH DUAL/NIKE/NIKI READ THIS THREAD AND ALL THE CLEVER PEOPLE HELP ME AND OTHER BEGINNERS LEARN!!!!!!!!!*********
I have been trying to pimp out my HTC touch dual but im a full on dummy. Can someone please explain a step by step guide explaining how to and the
meanings of terminology nessecary for the following. I have a HTC Touch dual(Nike/Niki100) and a video tutorial would be so much easier and clearer if anyones dares to make one . I am a beginner and would appreciate clear help/tutorial/insight.
1) I want upgrade my orange branded HTC touch dual to windows mobile 6.5....atm HTC will not let me upgrade to 6.1 from there website as it is an orange branded phone. (I dont like the orange customizations on my phone)
2)I would like that amazing new interface on my phone i think its called the Manilla 2D 2.0 its the one from the New HTC Touch2/Mega phone thats really colourful.
3) I would like to unlock my phone so i can put in a vodafone sim atm im using a turbo sim which temperorily unlocks my phone. i found this site... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 but again all the language is confusing and i don't want to brick my phone!
4) I would like advice on the best software out there....
i.e. skyfire and opera instead of internet explorer.
Youtube application.
TCPMP with all the nessecary packs so it lets me play videos without sound errors etc.
Asphalt 4 which is amazing etc.
5) i want my HTC touch dual at its optimum ability, tweaks like making the touchscreen more sensitive, and to speed it up. I want people to have the best touch duals they possibly can. Hope someone makes a clear video tutorial on how to do this.
**please clearly break down terminology if you are using it i.e. SPL, HARD SPL, COOKED ROM, KITCHEN, CID/SID, BOOT LOADER, FLASHING. i tried learning them but when i actually try upgrading it all becomes jibberish again lol. id rather stick to lehmans terms.**
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME HELP IM WILLING TO LEARN BUT I KEEP GOING IN CIRCLES ATM. Please help.
Good day,
Sorry sorry sorry in advanced if this has been asked before.
I did not find it using the search (the search does not like me)
I used to have windows mobile phones.
And i flashed roms every week.
but on my android, i have done nothing yet.
Because i am pretty happy with it the way it is.
the only thing at this moment i can think of what would be nice, if is it would be a little bit faster.
So i,m just wondering.
If i flash a different rom.
What will change for me.
I read that there are different roms that differ in the "Google experience"
So what will happen for me in the android market, will i have it, and will i see the same apps i am seeing now.
What are the other advantages of flashing?
I don't want to end up with a rom that does not give me what i gave now + more.
so basically... is it worth it?
i have the B version.
htc magic from vodafone Netherlands.
This is what I know:
After get the root and flash, you will have everything has normally you have with the exception of the updates for android (for example, if you root, I think you will not have the option to update the android cupkake to donut) but most probably that you will be able to update it any way using the info in the forum...
From that, market and everything will work exactally the same as it's working for you right now...
The other difference will be the "the google experience"... There are actually 2 kind of Magics (Sapphires) devices... the "vodafone" one (google experience) and the HTC one (just HTC experience xD)...
The main difference is that the vodafone one has less ram than the htc (192 against 288 or something like that) and the vodafone uses only the android that google gives you, instead, the HTC one will have the HTC Sense (the same desktop that is using the HTC Hero right now) and you will be able to use the donut as well...
So I think the main advantage goes to the HTC Magic (HTC Magic is 32A, the Vodafone one is 32B board)...
I have rooted my phone (HTC Magic 32A) and I'm able to use any 32A rom I like and I have everything enabled (market, google maps, etc...)
It works like a charm =D...
PD: sorry if my english is not so good, I speak spanish and even I can understand english sometimes I can't write it or speak it very well...
Can someone help me?

Sounds like you are going down the right path. Now that you have the phone unlocked you just have to find a rom that you like. Sounds like you loaded a stock vodafone rom if at all, hard to tell. One thing to be aware of is if the phone is cdma or gsm. Once you find a rom you like it will make all the difference in the world and most of the roms are in wwe(english). Hope this helps!
You have posted in the wrong section. You should go to the Diamond forums and ask there.
egzthunder1 is completely right here!
Ah, well..., IMO there's a difference between 'looking for' and 'searching'.. And in due time one 'll learn...
Voda when it starts?
SIM = Voda-phone? Well IMO if that's your provider, you'll see their 'message'. If you want something else; change provider soon
Your device starts in French and you wanna change it? Goto this thread BsB Tweaks ;

See if your phone is supported, if so you'll B able to change your manila language!
Of course there are many more things the [APP] mentioned in the above thread can do
I use allblack.tsk theme (copy to \Windows\ directory) to make my (non-TF3D) Today Screen completely black!
Start - Settings - Today - allblack
