Simple FAQ

New? Read this before you read anything else.
1Q. What is a Herald?
1A. A herald, is a device created by HTC. It is also sold under the HTC P4350, XDA Terra and the Tmobile Wing.
2Q. So the Wing is a Herald?
2A. Yes. But it has a different keyboard layout. Everything else is the same and ROMs from each other will work aside from the keyboard layout being
wrong.
3Q. What's a ROM?
3A. A ROM is the firmware (think of it like the windows installation) that your phone runs. There's the stock ones known as the "Official RUU's" and
the custom ones, known simply as "ROMs."
4Q. How do I flash a ROM?
4A. Read the sticky that tells you how here.
5Q. So the stickies are important?
5A. Yes. Read them first and you'll learn enough to ask intelligent questions and actually get answers that don't say, "READ!!! %#@$"
6Q. How do I flash USPL?
6A. USPL is NOT a ROM. It is a TOOL to flash other ROMs.
7Q. What's an NBH file?
7A. Read 4A.
8Q. Can I flash a Herald ROM into anything that's not one of the devices mentioned so far?
8A. No. You don't use diesel on a gas car.
9Q. Is HARDSpl permanent?
9A. Yes and no... it cannot be overridden unless you run USPL along with your RUU... If you don't understand this, please research and read some more.
10Q. I just installed HardSPL and now my device is stuck in the bootloader and gives me an SPL of 1.XXX!!!
10A. The intructions for that post specifically mentioned that you should NOT use this if you had an SPL lower than 4.xxx to begin with. I'm sorry but
you'll have to bring your phone to a repair center.
11Q. I just installed HardSPL... now I can't install my RUU.
11A. Did you read 9A? If you want to reinstall the stock software for some unknown reason but don't want to loose the HardSPL, you'll have to recompile
the RUU NBH so that it lacks its SPL.
12Q. Why are there so many stickies?
12A. Because we have a nice but sticky happy mod. If you don't like it, you haven't read enough of them. READ THEM AL.Alol
13Q. Can I ask you questions before reading the stickies?
13A. No. If you have, it's because you didn't read this... which consequently means that I've sent you here to read.
14Q. Why are people mean to me?
14A. You didn't read, bricked your device and then complained about it... read.
15Q. Why does everyone want a black rom? Why not a Puerto Rican rom? Or a white Rom?
15A. That's a weird question... go away.
16Q. How long should I wait for an answer for before I post another post about it?
16A. Indefinitively. If no one answers in ONE WEEK. Then bump your own thread. Do NOT create another thread. It might be cause for someone to beat you up... cause we've got our thugs that do that kind of stuff for us... we're watching...
17Q. Why did you miss # 10?
17A. Made you look.
18Q. What's the best ROM?
18A. It depends on your needs.
19Q. Ok, then what's the best ROM for me?
19A. Pop quiz: What's the best possible car for me... and no, you can't ask me questions. Off the top of your head, without knowing anything about my needs and wants. What is the best car for me. And mind you, if you get me something I don't like later on, I will come back complaining...
20Q. I have a Terra. Where is the RUU?
20A. Right there with answer #20154221445. Yea... it doesn't exist.
21Q. How do I install XXX?
21A. Did you read the walkthrough/readme file? If there wasn't a walkthrough included with it, is it a cab? If it's a cab, then run the cab... from the phone. If it's just random files, usually copy them over the windows folder. USUALLY... not always...
22Q. But it gives me an authentication error when I try to install this.
22A. Make sure that if you're installing... say.... the CommManager. That the CommManager isn't open in the background.
23Q. Is it ok to ask a question completely unreleated to the subject on a thread?
23A. No.
24Q. Is it ok to ask about a bug fix for ANOTHER ROM on one ROM's thread? Their ROM doesn't have this bug.
24A. Is it ok to go to Ford and ask them about why their Chevy has a leak in the radiator by design?
25Q. Why won't the cook give me a cab file that he used on his ROM?
25A. He didn't use a cab file. He used an OEM package.
26Q. Why won't he share his OEM Package?
26A. If it's a program he made, it's his intellectual property. If it's a program he didn't make, then he just doesn't feel like sharing for one reason or another. I don't read minds, so I wouldn't know.
27Q. If you can't read minds... how do you know all this stuff?
27A. I read... and cook... and read... and umm... yea... OK I CAN READ MINDS! STOP IT WITH THAT WEIRD LOOK!
More to come... stay tuned.

Do you think it'd be possible to consolidate some of these into a "Danger Will Robinson, DANGER!" post or two? The stickies are nice, but it's half of the first page

I agree. We need to consolidate the stickies so that it doesn't look the development forum.
and, for your information, the dinosaurs went extinct because they were homosexual sinners. duh. </sarcasm>

Just to be clear, I think Papamopps is doing a splendid job. But maybe creating only a few stickies and linking them to the items... OR placing all this into WIKI articles and then linking to them in one sticky.

This post was done half as a joke (like the sticky part and the other jokes) and as a real FAQ just because I was bored. Sorry if I offended you.

All three of these refer to the same thing.
First you need to learn how to flash a ROM (do a search).
Next, flash a custom Manila2d ROM
Next, download some themes (skins)
Next, use m2dc customizer to install the themes.
There are threads in xda which explain in great detail how to do all this, just use the search facility.
Good luck,
Mattster.

some examples
is there a different types of themes for different roms or the wm6.1 parameter for search is ok?
dont know how to be positiv that i am downloading the right thing
can p3600 stand tuchflou (rotating box meny)?
I AM REEDiNG AND HOPE ILL LEARN SOMETHING....THANKS FOR HEALPING

The 6.1 ROMs work fine on all Trinities. That is why they are in the Trinity section of the forum. Some download versions are specific for the p3600i. The first post of any ROM thread will indicate everything you need to know. Some have Manila2d (skinnable), some have FtouchFlo (finger gestures to scroll screen), some have both.
Mattster.

ok
ok thanks!
and for the last am I going to heve tis in new rom or need to download it?
and what intresting rom you are suggesting to me?

Just read through the latest ROMS, see what they have, read the comments, then choose one you like.
Just make sure you follow the important steps on how to flash.
There is a useful step by step guide at this link. Follow it word for word in the order it says and you should be able to get it done. Remember to start at the beginning. If you have nothing important on your current device to back up, then you can start at STEP 2: "Upgrade to Hard SPL"

Best of luck,
Mattster.
p.s. Moderators do not approve of newcomers starting new threads on information that is already out there. If you have specific problems, look for an answer in the search button, or ask them here in in Trinity Upgrading:

Ques on how to modify a rom without error

I wanted to take a first stab at doing some basic mods to a ROM and signing it as a zip for myself both to learn how to make a rom and to get the rom just the way I like it.
I wanted to take the IC3ROM v2.5 and make some minor changes for personal use. I removed/added some apps and then signed the zip correctly. One of the changes I wanted to make was to remove the DConfig app. I tried to install it onto my Hero, but got some error about "Unverified" and "DConfig app missing".
Is there some file I need to edit to tell it which apps are included/excluded in the ROM?
Thanks in advance.

FYI, I've already read the faqs and searched about 10 times. Seems like the forum here has become too assuming that no one is searching. I do searches before I post a new thread, which I don't do a lot.
FYI, I did find this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711
it seems somehow relevant, but I can't tell what specifically I have to do to remove the aforementioned error I'm getting.

V.1.20101123
- Added field "Profit Quadrant" to enter the test result.
- Fixed a bug that existed in the bar graph showing scores
- You can now view the dates of introduction of the system rom and when you last voted
- Fixed bugs in Opera and Chrome browsers.
- Now correctly redirects the ranking when the voting ends.
- Migrating Web and database hosting fee as in the former was produced much lag.
--> ! ViewRanding !<--
The thing is simple ... I have striven to rank so everyone can see how they are rated for the ROMs and you can also vote.
As you see in the image, each rom has a link that you can copy and paste in the first post of it.
The code makes an overall average and average for each feature of the rom (battery, gps, fluency ...).
NOTE: If this site does not automatically, there is a bar at the top where you can select the language.

EDITED-----------
I tested changing my browser language to English and everything works fine.
At the top of the bar appears google site for translation.
Enjoy.

I did that too & got an English version.
NOW, the ROM's mentioned are all outdated here. We have better ROM's. Can the OP change the choice?

now I understand.
But that's not possible ... if you check the quote I made of your post, you will see that is not a link.
At the time I try to create a link or refuses to quote me.
The only option is that a moderaror provide me that option. I have already asked.

I think the ROM's changes way to fast to keep this up to date, different versions every week. My opinion.
Like the idea though.
Will check back.

[Q] Wich steps I should take to make this work?

Hi there,
I have a question!
I want to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507
But when I install the Rom, I think I do something wrong, It only shows the boot screen. I only can Install some small roms whitout sense.
I do It like this:
- I put the zip on my formatted SD card (Fat32)
- Then I open in MALGDR 1.3 the AD Recovery, and follow the correct steps.
Still, It won't work. If I do something wrong, can someone please help me with only the easy steps I have to take to make this work on my HD2?
Thanks in advance,
Fabian1985
