And low and behold loads of stuff.

IE which rom version waht settings and tweaks seem to be best etc.

Hello, I decided to get the XDA Orbit instead rather then the wifi less MDA. Ive searched but could not find a result. How can I change the new text message sound alert to something a bit more...well me?! Don't fancy a dog barking!!
change the mp3 into a wav and drop it into the windows folder
thanks for that I have more questions, please can you help me?
ive only had mine a little time but go ahead, im sure if I cant help someone else can!
My friend overclocks his orbit with some software but he won't tell me because hes being a meany:-( I know about overclocking the risks etc. Id just like to give mine a tiny boost. Anyone know any reliable free app?
ive just done it 5 mins ago, ill find the stuff for you, its in this section of the forum
this is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282006
direct link to software with instructions: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
ive clokced mine to 260mhz and notice the difference immediatley when browsing, people have gone higher but I read one post on the thread said that over 273mhz and TomTom locks up
mine has been stable so far for the moment
I have tried omapclock and other overclocking apps but find them unstable and difficult to use (well im a newbie to overclocking).. till i found Anton Tomov Pocket Hack Master! It runs smoothly on my machine and it is very configurable... you can even set a specific speed to different applications... and it also does automatic scaling so you dont always run at full speed when using non demanding applications. It has automatic overclock testing and informs you that a certain Mhz setting is unstable on your machine.
hey guys,
ok i used to be quite the regular (i still host most the roms and new ones on my zimuhost.getmyip.com site).
however i'm quite behind the times and havne't been following developments much.
can someone advise me whats the best way to go about:
1) backing up my current SMSs (no clue what new software is out there)
2) suggest me a new ROM (i'm still on the old black one- shadow). i want pocketCM thats running natively if thats possible... but i don't mind installing it on another ROM that may work better.
3) space is not important to me. pagepool / speed is. i don't mind giving up 12mb pagepool memory, even more to font caches etc for speed. the storage is unnecessary.
i've already updated olipro and radio stacks, so i'm pretty good to go.
thanks a lot guys
and as usual, if you want any phone-related download mirrors for files / roms etc, just shoot me a PM with the megaupload/etc link and you'll have a nice http download option
anybody?
advice would be loved
Hello mate,
Given your history of hosting, etc, and helping the community out I thought I would get a response in before some smart ar*e tells you to read the f*** wiki.
Anyway:
- SMS backup - There's a tool on here called (I think) PIMS. Should do the job else go for SPB backup.
- New Rom - tough one this as it depends on what you are looking for. I use Schaps (see my sig) because it is rock solid stable. However Shamanix has just produced a lite version based on Schaps and has provided a shedload of cabs for people to personalise their own install. Personally I prefer this approach as you get more or less exactly what you want. Search on here for it.
Does this help?
Cheers
WB
hey WB, thanks a bunch for the response i was totally expecting the flaming to start instantly!
Problem is that the last time i frequented this site and was a regular there were like 3 ROM developers. now there are like 42,000. I have no clue which version of what to use, even after having heavily browsed around this site the past 2 days!
i'll take your advice and stick with schaps, downloading 3.54 right now...
Excellent. I can also recommend the radio version I'm using as that has been the most stable to date.
CARE - make sure you do what Mr Vanx suggests BEFORE you jump in. See here for more info (http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/). Take your time and read loads first. Saves a lot of grief later on.
Cheers

Let me start by saying that Ive been creeping in the corners of these forums for a bit, and frankly, you guys are AMAZING. I purchased an ATT 8525 in June, and Id be lying if I didn't say reading these forums has solved about 90% of my issues. Needless to say, now I'm starting to feel brave... Ive read the wiki, Ive tried googling, I need some help.
(Please, if this IS somewhere, just point me in that direction, Ive gotten by OK with no direct interference)
Im starting to feel brave enough to tweak registry and change ROMS, even tried a couple here on the forums... but I don't seem to have any luck finding what Im looking for, and I was COMPLETELY puzzled by self cooking.
Heres what I'm looking for...
BAREBONES WM6. (I don't want ANY of what ships with WM6 besides the phone functions (Camera, Calender, Text, Phone, WiFi) Even the default sounds, I want all gone, I realize I can delete afterwards if needed. I used XDASUPPER_CLEAN3 And I can say its VERY close, It just did a few things Im not so happy with, primarily added a Video call button to my dialer (Which I wont use) and showed me connect to the UMTS ATT&T Network or showing No connection to network, but still dialing out. I live in Vegas, 3G is everywhere, what SHOULD I be connecting to? And it added an awkward white triangle to the very top of my today screen,
I also don't use the outlook features of the phone, So I want to remove all traces of EMAIL From the device. (Not sure if a reg tweak exists for this or what?)
The long and short of it. I use my ATT 8525 for
Text/Picture Messaging
Picture Taking
Scheduling with Calender
Contact Storage
Beaming Data
Silly Games
And a phone (w blue tooth headset)
Off the top of my head at 230 that sounds like everything, anything on the device that isn't related to those is wasted space.... Please any advice or help would be GREATLY appreciated.
ROM's
Check out K's Rom..I use it and it's pretty sick. Read the description and see if it suits your needs. Some functions have been disabled and others tweaked..to include Expanded memory. It also includes some helpful tools.
Also, the use of Ftouchflo is highly recommended.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers.....

Have to agree with this one. The fastest WM6 ROM around at the moment.
I use Pandora's Build it YOUR way setup. I can customize what is installed and what's not.
Update 12/31 Naked Base Pandora Kitchen - Build it YOUR way - 3.60/3.61/3.62.2/3.62.3

MUCH Thanks
Alright folks, it looks like you've hit me with some great suggestions! Im currently using Pandora Naked. Just a few things, I couldnt get Pandora 6 to flash at all, but Pandora 5 went on without a hitch. I cant seem to figure out WHAT is different about the installation. But I dont see any notes on what features may or may not be different between the two roms themselves...
Also, I ran into a situation where I could not for the life of me get Pandora YOUR way to cooperate on installing the rom, I realize Naked + and add ons I want is an alternative, but still Unsure on what causes the installation to give me a "Corrupt Image" error.
One other SMALL item, is that strange white triangle at the top of the today screen, I cant figure out what it is, where it came from, or how to get rid of it. Beyond that, all is fantastic! Thanks again everyone!
that strange white triangle is the roaming indicator. Mostly it indicates you are off your home network.
Sometimes you will get it if you flash a rom from a network thats not your own.
I have seen a few other posts about people with it stuck on. Try doing a search
Hi everyone, I've been looking for hrs but cant seem to find it? The situation is this: I have got a backup made with SPB of the following rom 2.03.401.2 WWE 12/23/08 radio 1.09.25.23 protocol 52.51.25.26U. This is the original rom and I installed all the stuff I need and made a backup, the problem is that the space afterwards is like 15mb storage which is very little as you may know, still got 40 odd program which is okish. I just wondered if any of the chefs made a light version of this that i'm missing?? By light I mean without the stuff that really does not work like updates, error reportin, customer feedback, radio, getting started, adobe and so on...I need things like streaming player and youtube and opera and a few more. Just to give you an idea... If I had a little more time to spare I would learn how to cook them but at the moment time is scarce with the little one and work and all that. Can anyone point me in the right direction, I need something stable though and fast. Many thanks to all in advance and to xda dev!
Keep up the good work guys you are the best!
FOUND!
I think I found what I was looking for. Thank you all
hello all...i have a couple questions and im hoping a few of you guys will take the time to help me out...thanks in advance
1. ive tried 3 or 4 new roms (juicy, mightymike, energys...)and for some reason the data connection turns on by itself...ive already checked to make sure that nothing is automatically updating (weather, stocks, etc) and theyre not....ive read that n 6.5 the data connection reads a on but its really not??? can someone help me out because my battery seems to be draining quickly.
2.battery life on the above mentioned roms seem to be not that great.
3.my phone runs at anywhere from 55 to 75 on boot up with the above mentioned roms. i tried using the no push inteernet cab and the ssk dynamic resource proxy cab but they dont seem to make a difference
4. i keep hearing about this program called XDA UC...i think i know what it does but im not 100% sure...will someone please elaborate on what this is, and how to use it (ive read the thread on xda about it but it looks like greek to me
5 i cant seem to get MMS to work on any rom what so ever....no sending or receiving...ive tried the "MMS FIXES" that are suppose to work, but they dont help unfortunately
6. on some roms the TF3D audio manager will work and on some it doesnt (and it wouldnt work on my verizon stock rom either)...i wish i could figure this out
i think thats it for now....please help people..this is definitely one of the most helpful, useful, and informative forums ive been on and as always i appreciate anyones input

In WVGA tweak select GPRS auto disconnect or do a search for GPRS autodisconnect app
2.battery life on the above mentioned roms seem to be not that great.
Battery life is quite different on each ROM and also depends on the Radio version, test several combinations till you get the best results
3.my phone runs at anywhere from 55 to 75 on boot up with the above mentioned roms. i tried using the no push inteernet cab and the ssk dynamic resource proxy cab but they dont seem to make a difference
6.5.1 ROM´s eat a lot of more memory, if not satisified try 6.5 or even better 6.1 ROM´s
4. i keep hearing about this program called XDA UC...i think i know what it does but im not 100% sure...will someone please elaborate on what this is, and how to use it (ive read the thread on xda about it but it looks like greek to me
It works to get an "image" for saying of your actual ROM so you can have the same "image" after you reflash installing alll automatically as it was before.
Never tested myself but worth to give it a shot
