Hi all,
I inherited an old Orange SPV m500, and found this forum while searching for a way to unlock it from Orange. It worked and was very helpful, so you have my thanks for that!
Then I see all this skinning business and I would love to customise the phone a bit more; there's several things I'd like to do including installing a bigger dialler, a better 'homepage', etc, etc. So I went ahead and installed what seemed to be the latest ROM I could use (the WWE_O3 Cottula rom, which is the last one with a working camera from the looks of it - I need the camera). That's all fine and dandy and worked nicely (although it often tells me I've just inserted a memory card when I haven't).
However, all this extra software is an absolute mystery. It's all circular references which isn't helped by the lack of clear English (no offence, I know it's not everybody's mother tongue). I simply can't seem to find a start point that explains what software does what, how to install it, etc. All the threads seem to assume that you already know the software and what it does. Even the 'wiki' for the magician is limited to descriptions of upgrading the ROM. JMLToday Touchflo Manilla 3d 2d etc. etc.
I don't have a very modern device, so I don't expect to be able to install all of the latest whizzbangs on it, and to be honest I don't need a huge bundle of features, but I'd love to make my phone easier and faster to use and I know you guys have put huge effort into software to do just that. I just can't figure out what I need or how to go about getting it.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the forum xobby. First of all xda-developers is mainly a technical forum to help in upgrading and tweaking your device. There may be threads involving applications but , like you said, it's not very organized. So the first thing you have to do is use the search function to look for what you are looking for. If you can't find anything then you might ask nicely from the members in the forum for help. If you are looking for specific applications then there are other sites that is more suited for searching for applications.
I would suggest that you do a general search of the internet for programs, skins, etc that you would like to install in your unit and where to download them. It requires a lot of searching and looking I know but that is just the way it is.
Good luck!
By the way. Since you upgraded to WM6.1 by Cotulla, you will have no problem installing almost all of the newest applications available for windows mobile the same as those for the newer more expensive phones.

So i have the dz09 smartwatch and love it! But im curious how far i can go. Is there a way to download apps or customize my watch more? Specifically; #1. The find my phone feature doesn't seem to work. Simply tells me cannot find the device. #2. Can i diwnload a cool different watch face? Like something digital with battery percentage date and time etc..? If anyone has an answer to these two questions, id be so greatful. Btw in case it matters, i use my watch with Bluetooth not the sim. And it is with android not apple.
Good question.

Use BT notifications in play store and the DZ09 will work perfectly
I am interested in changing some go the look on my new head unit. For one I would like to add apps to the bar along the top. Also I would like to change the icons used they look old. In general I would like other mods and info. Is anyone doing any work on these units?
Wondering the same thing! Would love some modding on these units, just got one for my truck. Trying to figure out where to start
Hi All,
I'm looking to upgrade my old MTCD android head unit and I noticed these new Tesla style devices having much bigger screens. Unfortunately, from the device description from different sites and sellers as well as from the forum, I was not able to understand if it makes any sense to go for one of these tesla models.
The following few questions keep me absolutely puzzeled:
1. It seems that the bottom of the screeb is busy with the climate controls. For my car however the physical climate controls stay intact so I dom't understand what's the point of these virtual ones. Does it show some more information or what? Does this bottom part of the screen havr any other function?
2. For my current device, I was used to downloading ROMs from xda devs forum. However I didn't find a separate forum thread for these tesla style ROMs is it the same ROM as for the "classic" devices?
3. There is a thread about tesla style devices in the forum, however most about the posts there are about rooting the devices. Is rooting a must to have these devices usable?
Any advise or comparison is greatly appreciated,
Thanks
I'm also interested to know the answers to these questions, so it'd be great if anybody that has one of these units could please respond.
I'd also like to ask, can you use split screen on these between two regular android apps (like Poweramp and Waze for example)? I've seen lots of videos of these units on Youtube but they only focus and the stock apps (like audio and video players) which I don't intend to use much since I already have other Android apps that I like.
Thanks in advance.
