Newbs: cooked rom or cab install? And go back?

Hi all.
I've bought an herald (P4350 in Italy) for my wife. I've registered the product to htc club and i've installed windows mobile 6 in italian.
Now i've read some thread as:
Newbs guide to Herald modification *updated* 10/18/07: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
and:
All you need on your Wing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
If i've understood well, the first option means overwrite the OS i've just installed with another one with (impressive) features (as touchflo, cube interface, kayser like apps) preinstalled.
The second means collect some apps and install it (maybe it's possible htc home, even touchflo but certainly not cube's interface).
Well, due to limitation of the second way (cube's interface for example), i'd like to try the modified rom (cooked?), but i've some questions:
1) First of all, is it true that i can have all the functionality of the "Touch-IT,WWE v1.1" or similar cooked rom only by flashing the rom or i can found ALL the functionality by installing some apps?
2a) If 1) is false where can i found ALL the apps for doing the same things as well as in a cooked rom?
2b) If 1) is true, can i flash with Touch-IT rom my italian device with italian WM6 installed?
2bI) If 2b) is true, after trying Touch-IT rom can i reinstall my WM6 italian rom by double-clicking on the file downloaded from htc club? If not is a way to rollback to the original rom?
2bII) If 2b) is false (but also if it's true because i prefer the OS in my language ), PLEASE Itje make a Touch-IT,IT where the second IT meas ITALY

1. While you can have the apps, touch-it is built on a newer, more streamlined version of windows mobile 6.
2a. see 2b
2b. You can flash the WWE. I believe there was some effort to get a native language port, ask itje about that.
2bI. Yes. I believe the HTC club one is an RUU, a "Rom Update Utility". If you mess up in the flashing, you can use it restore from bootloader also
2bII. Again, ask itje.
wow that was confusing. Outlines are like hell on a apple.

fzzyrn thanks a lot for answers.
1. So u think that i can have also cube interface by installing an apps? Wich one?
2b. how can i contact itje for a native language port?
Again, thanks a lot for helping me.

i believe there are like flash-based emulations of the cube. Look in the main software development forum.
To contact Itje, private message him. Click on his name and then it should be obvious to extent

Cant install hotfixes on my hd:(

I get message plz use the right correct file or something =/

bumpgggdgfd

What rom version do you have? Which hotfixes are you trying to install? some of the hotfixes aren't needed with the latest stock rom.

noone of the hotfxes are working, and have the latest from the website.
is t a way to download a better rom verson also?

Well, with rom version 1.14 I've installed all hotfixes. Now, with 1.56 (the latest official) I didn't install any hotfix!
Do you have any issues which could be solved by one of the hotfixes?

dunno realy, and how do i change back themes, i installed a theme, but cant change back :S

change: settings-today?
full uninstall: settings-system-remove programs?

wch rom is best?

Well, don't get me wrong, but try to use the search feature! There are a lot of rules on how to post in forums! Now think about someone searching for answers regarding the installation of hotfixes and one of the hits will be this thread where the discussion changes to uninstalling themes and which rom is best!
Btw, what is 'best'? (rhetorical question!)

[REQ] Samsung B7620 Win 6.5.3 Clean

I will repost my original post on modaco here too, if someone can make a clean rom with maybe some fix that are listed below it would be great
Hello,
I just have brought this pda yesterday. It's very pretty and nice hw too. I've tried already to disable all the samsung stuff's but i can't remove sms manager and others things.. (i've already read the guide of editing registry ecc.ecc.).
Isn't around a clean rom to flash it? Can I flash with a generic b7610 rom or it will not work?
The firmware versions of mine are :
PDA : B7620XXII7
CSC : B7620ITVII7
TELEF. : B7620XXII6
I've found here a rom but too scared to try without a changelog and support (h--p://chomikuj.pl/misiio61/Firmware+Samsung/Firmware/GT-B7620+Armani)
If anyone can help it will be really appreciate coz the ppc is good but full of junkies.
thx
bye smile.gif
WISHLIST :
To do
- Clean 6.5.X Rom without Armani things (Pleaseee someeeeoneee heelpppp ussss or a brave man who would flash with b7610 rom)
- Total way to eradicate or at least disable Armani Apps
- A way to keep settings after a softreset or just power off\on :
- camera app lose options like wdr,antimotion ecc.
- device lose cpu settings like auto\high\low use
- softkeyboard will return to samsung default (i'd like to use "FingerKeyB" for example)
- Software to enable the frontcamera? (it seem to be one afterall)
- Way to remove "Sent Message Notification" (tried with all software but do not work, neither from registry, must be armaniapps...)
Done
- GPS Fix (as in tomtom) with "GpsMod"
- Shuttersound Off (just use the cab in the b7610 tweaks guide)
*FIXED (a bit= not all keys are usable sad.gif ) (use AEBPlus.v.2.6.6.2) - Something to remapp all hardware buttons (i think someone mentioned a software somewhere...)
*FIXED (a bit=works but no configuration working to calibrate it well) using this : h**p://rapidshare.com/files/312689104/HTCSensorSDK.dll (some games works now) - Working HTC gmotion driver\dll (tried from omniaPro\II no worked sad.gif )

Did you have WM6.1 or WM6.5??
On B7610 the WM6.1 is faster, more stable and don't have the collors displaing bug (http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/300931/). I would sugest that you keep with WM6.1..
Could you dump your rom here??
I would like to try this rom on my b7610.
Please follow these topic: http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610...-com/297139/a-simple-procedure-to-dump-a-rom/

B7620 Armani WM 6.53 (official)
is there any word about an update for WM 6.53 since the now installed 6.52 is buggy and kinda slow....samsung has a very lazy support

Still no
I think we have 2 option, or a custom rom of the 6.5.2 or a 6.1 rom. After all 6.5 isnt that great thing, ok more usable with touch but i can live without it. Plus wm6,1 have 2000 themes, this titanium is cool idea but no themes and the generator online is just a joke
Somebdoy help ussssssssssssssssssssssssss! ^_______^
Damn.. i dont want to change device, but.. support on b7620 really sucks! If only hd2 had a hardware keyboard :\
Chooo

I would love to have a clean Rom, too! My B7620 works fine, but after a Soft Reset I have only about 45 MB RAM free...

Hi [email protected] and others,
on my original post on moda.. a guy offers his skills to mod a rom but he need a dump (h**p://www.modaco.com/content-page/298479/req-help-with-gt-b7620-aka-giorgio-armani/page/20/)of the B7620, can someone here do that?
Chooo
ps : We need to merge forces

Flash B7610 rom onto b7620
is it possible to flash samsung B7610 rom onto B7620? and if so which of the roms work properly.

Flashing B7620
Don't flash B7610 rom to B7620...i tried...it doesn't work...the phone becomes all weird.
I think someone just posted a B7620 clean rom over at Modaco, if anyone of you wants to try and give feedback:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/298479/req-help-with-gt-b7620-aka-giorgio-armani/page/40/

Yep, it is dask.. helping me trying to create a perfect slim rom and later we will see

So has anyone come up with a light, clean ROM for the B7620?

ROM request threads in DEVELOPMENT are NOT DONE in my honest opinion. Also, please don't revive request threads like this.
Closed.

New to HTC Mega

heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.

Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.

heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.

thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?

No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.

Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......
And the article:

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.

Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it

sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.

okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.

[Q] TEST ANDROID over other Windows Mobile ROM

I want to know if it is worth a try? What do you think? I sounds like a good idea

I dont know what Roms you have available for your device but it may be worth adding a section with what Roms (stock or custom) work with Android and what ones arent working correctly. While Android is emulated, there are still some WinMo drivers that affect the operation of your Android port and certain Roms may not work.
It may be worth trying to flash a different Rom and then try Android again.

I currently use:
ROM-Version (Vodafone)Switzerland German: 1.41.166.1, (10904) Radio:0.63.05.41
the next one I will try is:
[ROM][25.06.2011][WWE-ITA-FRA-ELL-GER-RUS-SPA-NLD-DAN] ver 3.10 nsourm -build 29022
ver.5 - RUU_Signed_????no_sense_clean.nbh is without sense and cookies home tab and without extra apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801481

The nsourm rom is highly recommended and very stable (version 3.1) I also run this base WM6.5 ROM too (without sense and without cookies home tab). It seems to be quite compatible with the Android port as it mostly follows stock rom philosophy.
The other optional cab that has been installed is the stock icons.cab located here as without it, my SPB shell doesn't show all the icons properly. I have no problems with the Android Loader 1.0 dual boot application (set to autoboot after 10 seconds). I'd first flash the stock ROM then this one if wanting to change from another custom ROM.

you tried over nsourm 3.1 and Android works well, but have you tried over your stock ROM? and have you noticed any difference? such as. that something works better, or that something is not working at all?

I have not tried Android with my stock ROM and don't want to go back to stock ROM either as I still need to use WM6.5 from time to time - because there is no Garmin for Android! Stock ROM used to crash often whereas with nsourm 3.1 it is definitely much more stable given it incorporates more recent builds. I would assume that given nsourm is close to stock ROM philosophy (but with much more recent builds) that there would not be much difference to anything that ran in Android. Maybe someone has already tested for the differences.. and can let us know the results!

Hi, 15Ma1l,
I tried four different of HTC Official ROMs for my htc mini, and I can say: There isn't any Difference and all of them were same when booting android. and I knew this idea for months.
but I didn't tried nsourm ROM, because of arabic persian unicode support?

thank you for answers !
iPlasm could you please write a list with these ROMs you already tried?
