Okay, Im a n00b at this, im not scared to admit, i am a TOTAL noob!
And i got an Acer n50 for christmas and im bored of WM2003se already. Ive looked everywhere and i see storys of people upgrading to wm2005 with some tools or summin but im too scared to use any, is there a SIMPLE way to upgrade my N50, OR is there a good alternative OS to WM.
Thanks,
Sorry

Maybe if At&t released an official WM6.1 ROM for hermes, then you can get PTT. For now, you are on your own...

Thanks for the reply
Hmmm maybe its time to move up to the tilt lol
Wow! I had HEARD that there was a person who actually used PTT, but I never believed it. FWIW, I spent days researching how to remove that "feature" from my shipped ROM. I would have been happy to send you the garbage I took out, but I threw it all away quickly because it was smelling up my whole desk.
I still can't believe I found the person who AT&T built that stuff for.

Updating ROM on Diamond...

Okay I am nervous
I have done Rom upgrades on a few different WM devices. The last one being an XDA Exec.
But on my new Diamond it worries me. Why I hear you ask....
I hear all this hard spl talk before updating and am really worried about bricking it.
But the desire to upgrade is strong. My new long awaited toy just seems so sluggish. The interface is great but sooooo slow and I hear these roms do help.
Dare I say it but my Ipod Touch interface is such a joy to use, maybe I should have gone to the very dark side.
Also sorry about it if this is covered but I want a Diamond upgrade idiots guide
Thanks in advance
Simon

want WM6.1 but chicken

hey all,
im very new to all the hacking and flashing , i want to try the upgrade but afraid that i will mess it up and not have all the current apps i have placed on the Dash... speaking of Dash is the Caliber the same as dash? and will the upgrade act the same on the dash... i know NOOB!!! LOL. but anyway will the apps that were for 6.0 ROMs work on 6.1...
Thank you in advance

A BIG ^*(%ing disaster, my poor dear sweet friend is now stuck at the HTC page. it wont wake up it wont sleep (unless i pull out bat)... i have killed my bff... active sync stopped when the exchange was going on and totally messed up my change over. i have tried a reset by holding down the soft keys but nothing. (WWAAAA)... i need my bff back im so lost without her... any ideas. thought i would check here before going to T-mobile to see if its covered under the warranty. thanks the newbie

It's cool. We've all been here before. I would say that the benefits of 6.1 definitely outweighed any concerns I had with flashing. I grew sick of hearing about all the advances that everyone else experienced with 6.1--while I was still using 6.0! You won't be disappointed!
FYI... PLEASE read the stickies located at the top of the Excalibur page. They'll be extremely helpful concerning any questions you may have. Just read through the posts in the various threads and 98% of your future questions will be answered.
P.S. Yes, the Excalibur and the Dash are the same device.
alright guys thanks or the encouragement. UPGRADE here i come. (deep breath as i dive in) thanks again

yep , the bad part of flashing is reinstalling all your apps , wallpaper ,etc.
But 6.1 is worth every bit of it

Oh ok I see, well I think Rickys is really easy for beginners to use because of all the programs that it offers for the beginners and it seems to be more customizable to me... but that is just my own opinion...
just wait til i steal stylezrickynrg's rom... GIX v1.0
you will all be speechless. its probably going to change life as we know it. thats how good it is going to be.
