Has anyone been able to figure out how to unlock teh extended rom on the Dash (actually more specifically the s620/excalibur)?
The reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a cab for the intent midlet manager. I'm curious to see if it handles the high mem version of opera mini better than teh default esmertec one does. I'm not patient enough to wait for their "fix" I guess
TIA
there isn't an extended ROM in the smartphone OS.
*BUT*
The high memory version of Opera mini works great on my Dash running the S620 OS.

sweet. does that mean you wanna trade!!
apparently the problem is in the midlet mgr tmo usa bundled, hence the request for intent.
thanks tho

Why don't you just install the HTC ROM?
re-read my post. I own a Dash and loaded the s620 FW on it. Best think I ever did.
ANYTHING to get rid of XT9!!!!

Ah I missed that part. I received teh reply notification while I was in the car. Typed teh reply at a red light
I've debated bewteen installing it or not. Here's my reasons why not:
1) I'm cheap. I don't know if I wanna spend the $40 to unlock.
2) This is the first smartphone I've bought from tmo. I'm still nervous about voiding any warranty. I need to research a bit about being able to either reflash to the stock tmo rom or backing up my rom to a microSD like I did with teh MDA, as well as being able to CID lock my phone again just incase I have problems.
3) I'm coming from an MDA that I've flashed probably 15 different times. Its a slippery slope to Phone geekdom once I start.
We'll see what happens, thanks for the tips tho. (Eliminating xT9 would be nice though...
Reasons to unlock your phone and flash the s620 ROM on it...
1. the original T-Mobile ROM is available so you could always go back.
2. I'd pay T-Mobile 40 bucks if they'd tell me how to at least turn XT9 off permanently!
3. I hate carrier branding.
4. You'll get that good java client you want
5. You know you want to
6. You'll be able to use *ANY* ROM that comes out in the future.

My understnding is the HTC ROM doesnt support teh push and hold feature to get teh alt of each key?? I've really gotten used to that now.
that is correct, no push and hold. The only other thing that is wierd in the s620 ROM is when you're surfing a mobile webpage where you can hit a number for an option instead of highlighting and selecting it, it doesn't work. Typing 7 to delete your hotmail works on the T-Mobile ROM but not the s620 ROM. No idea why.
*BUT*
That XT9 irritated me SO much, I don't care what I lose. Losing XT9 is the best feature of this ROM and my main motivation for doing it. Also, you get the native JOGGR functionality back (which is a little buggy and slower than using the D-PAD but I digress).
It is a very solid ROM and the Intent Java client is a nice bonus.

can you confirm this that no such extended rom on smartphones
yup. There is no extended ROM on Smartphones but POF can probably answer better than anyone.
I'm saying there isn't... But I've been wrong before.
-Mc
i think you are!
there is other smartphone with extended roms and to clarify to those who do not know what extended rom is ,when its visible on your device it is a folder with all the applications and carrier settings in it ,that when you hard reset your device they are installed,and one thing is to find how to make it visible with file explorer and another is to unlock it to be able to copy the files some where else ,!!!
Did anyone manage to get this weather plugin to work with Tmobile tzones ($5.99) internet? I tried to search for this issue but couldn't find a clear answer.
I works fine via ActiveSync or Wireless internet - but no go for t-zones proxied connection.
If I understood correctly, you would like to load the weather data over T-mobile. Correctly?
If, functions perfectly. Only select city and completely.
Or did you want another program, in place of the HTC weather Plugin?
Describe nevertheless please times which as much money costs there.
I am not safe me whether I you correctly understood.

There's a fix for it. Someone created a server for the HTC plugin to get its data from and it works through TMobile (tzones or not). Read the HTC Home plugin threads around here and I'm sure you'll find a cab...
I tried the patched version on t-mobileweb and still couldn't get it to work..
I use spb mobile shell. It works.

Yes, that what's happening to me. There is a thread for HTC Home weather fix, but it looks like the author is rarely responding to peoples questions. Yes, he created a modified cab file that uses one of his servers to re-route the data, but somehow it's not working. I believe it's because of t-mobile tzone internet is using proxied access. On the regular internet access (thru WIfI or wireless lan or activesync) the plugin works great.
Is there a lucky person who managed to get this plugin to work on T-mobile USA tzones internet?
juzzie: the 6tab cab worked for me on this t-mobile plan:$29.99/month, Unlimited w/o VPN, internet2.voicestream.com. And U'r right, it looks like the owner of that thread has left the building!

Yep, I know. It's working on T-mobile data plans. But I'm using tzones which is a proxied connection.
To tell you honestly - I gave up. I tried Fizz weather and it works like a charm. It offers far better weather related services and takes only a thin bar on the home screen. You just have to configure it properly: I'm using 2 days forecast including current weather.
Been Trying!
I been trying for a long time now everyday to find the answer to Tmobile USA not being able to use the htc plugin weather program. I myself have full access internet 29.99. sometime it will load it, some times it wont. Maybe its where your at? check the tmobile site www.tmobile.com to see how is your signal. If everyone can come up with a test simple it would be faster to figure it out. Developers neeed help and imput. good luck
yeah, the modified cabs of the HTC weather plugin will only work on a non-proxied connection. I'm having the same trouble, and have tried everything out there.
N2A (creator of the modified HTC weather server) goes thru port 80 which is blocked on $5.99 T-zones, so thats where we suffer.
As far as SPB mobile shell goes, does it integrate with HTC Home tabs? or is it something on its own? any screen captures available?
Well maybe you can ask the guy nicely to make another dll for you that will connect to his server using a different port !

lol, I guess I could do that.
I would also recommend WeatherPanel with the "son of commuter 240" theme. It's just an awesome combination...
Maybe, just maybe this could help
Hi, I recently changed a HTC Touch (T-mobile GER) around completely to get rid of the (for me) unwanted carrier specifics of the original Rom. I Backuped the Ext Rom in which I came across the attached cab (I frankly don't have any idea what it does - all other contents were merely hompage setting or spftkey changer app...)
Since Tmob found it useful to play with the weather, maybe someone could see what's inside. Maybe it could solve the problem.
Cheers, Chris
I just bought my dash, first smartphone ever, and I seen the Kavana video on youtube and found this site. I flashed the Rom onto my T-Mobile Brand Dash and it looked great and I love using the side slider bar. But when I tried to text the keys were laid out differently and I'm not savvy enough to fix that myself and I tried searching but I'm not to great at finding the answer by being a brand new member and a new owner of this phone. Also I tried to use the internet and it said I have no conncection and I heard people say just put in my current ip settings that I use on my desktop but I pay t-mobile 20 bucks a month for their unlimited internet that I would like to keep the same and I don't know how to get that back as the primary and default browser and I would really really really appreciate any step by step process in how to get a correct version of Kavana 6.1 that works perfectly with my T-mobile dash with the t-mobile internet settings already installed or set. I flashed the phone back to the t-mobile 6.0 rom so I can still use it but if I can get an answer onhere i Would love that so I can use the sleek layout of kavana.
Thank you very much.
I found the keyboard thing, I think
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2074399&postcount=1148
After looking around I found this and I haven't tried it but I'm assuming that will fix all of the keyboard problems but the only thing as of right now that I think I might need help in is the whole internet thing. I'm not good at setting ips or anything dealing with it and I just want the standard settings that it came with when i bought it from t-mobile when it comes to the internet.
Thank you.
start > accesories > connection set up. select us, then tmobile then reboot.
when i go to start then accessories theres nothing about connections in this older. if you mean go to start then settings and then connections there a whole bunch of diferent folders. you have com manager, beam, bluetooth, dial up, gprs, proxy, vpn, wifi, sms, usb to pc. where should i go
download v23 of rickys revised kavana rom
if u download and flash v23 of rickys revised kavana rom with opera, u will find the connection setup under accessories. this is also the folder in which you'll find the internet sharing program.
pretty sure its in all the kavana and ricky roms.

Try using the SDA Unlock again and then just run the auto included with the ROM it should guide everything through for you. Make sure that you get the almost white screen and you should be good to go
i ran the sda and succesfully unlocked it again and then ran the auto thing from ricky and got to the white screen and it gets to 3 percent and then says error 270 corrupted

Very useful thread, thank you. Before I do any of that can I have your and others honest opinion should I flash to the v23 of ricky's version of kavana? I got the kavana 6.1 original on here and I was able to get the internet working and the keyboard working and so far everything looks good. Is it a whole lot better to get the opera ricky version?
Thanks.

Hello every one. I downloaded and installed Zorro gps. Then about 2 mins later deleted it. The map file for the UK and Ireland and software is 770mb where as TomTom is 120mb also does not support postcode entry and when
I tried to navigate to my home address which is in a village that address or should
I say the village is not there.
So in summary very competitive price, file to large no postcode support and don’t get lost as this sat nav will not get you home or don’t live in a village. Jez

I just downloaded ZorroGPS Premium v10.4 from http://www.zorrogps.com/US/ (Jun02 version) and installed on my HTC Touch Diamond USA version. The USA-Canada map takes a little over than 3GB, with all installation steps same as those described on the website.
When launched ZorroGPS the first time, however, a warning text box falshed over in less than a second, saying something about ".. automatic configuration of GPS was not successful.. click "yes" to retry or "no" to configure manually..." ZorroGPS then closes immediately. This problem also occured in the previous May-27 version. The helpdesk has been very responsive in working for possible solutions, but so far no solution has been developed yet.
Could anybody please check and see if this occurs to your HTC Touch Diamond USA version (with original rom)? I recoverd the factory default before I installed ZorroGPS and have only Google Map installed in the application.

If such a ROM exists, i would like to use it to brand my phone to 3 to get the free skype calls, is there such a ROM?
what do you mean to get free skype calls?
You would still have to be on the 3 network.

if it was that easy, dont you think i would have done it by now???
to use the free calls offer, you have to use the 3 skype software, not the usual version.

Sorry but perhaps you should be clearer next time about what you need and why.
You actually don't need a rom you need the software. You might be better off putting this in the general hacking section as I am sure all you need to do is get it from a WinMo based device. Not specifically a diamond.
Hi all,perhaps you may help out here.I have an HTC touch diamond and I'm in South Africa.
Now,I want to flash my rom as well to escape all the problems that are ROM related.I came across this rom:1.94.421.2 wwe,has anyone tried it and saw it is any good for a South African based HTC Diamond p3700.
Thanx

you do actually need to download the 3 skype software, they don't let the normal skype software use the free calls things
http://www.three.co.uk/Internet_Services/Call_chat/Call_chat_service?content_aid=1220455597804
the only way to get the 3 skype software at the moment is to either buy a 3 skype phone, or use a ROM that has the software on it already. i also have a kaiser which i have heard has an official UK 3 rom, but don't use it as my primary phone.
3 have said they will be enabling all 3g phones to use their own version skype software later this year though, but i want to start using it now.
nice idea along with me being on 3 - ive scanned plenty and cant seem to find anything
keep reverting back to the Sony if i need it but sim swopping is a nightmare

Yeah it works for the free calls. I left it running on a skype call for half an hour and my voice minutes remained the same.
I'm not sure if there's a 3 windows live messenger for windows mobile. Someone got a java version working but it's a little low res for the diamond. Works great nonetheless.

Thats strange, maybe it could be down to the rom youre using. Ive tried it on several roms and it worked fine.
The only thing I do is change BackupHost, CallURL, DefaultSKHost and BaseURL to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948, and run the program. That guide doesnt tell you to change 'BaseURL' which could be the problem. Do you change the phone number in the registry or anything else?

anyway i am off sick from work, so gonna try out a few different roms
annoying thing is, it did actually work. but when i exited, it just reverted the settings back to the defaults.

Thats great that its working now. The link I provided had a different number to the one that came up in my registry so I think 3 changed it, therefore it wouldve been a bad idea to change the number in your registry.
I tried it on Nataly 2.4, Shaks 4.20 and several Energyroms. I think some roms revert the registry back to default after soft resets.
just as an aside, i recently bought a skypephone (S2), this is before i found out i could use iskoot on any WM6 phone.
the version on the S2 is 2.9.18. it doesn't appear to be a java app, but the voice quality is a lot lower than what i get on Windows XP Skype.
is the latest WM Iskoot version the 1.1 version? has anyone tried signing up through their form to see if they have updated it at all? i might give that a try...
3 have stated on their website that they will soon make the skype software available to all 3g users. i'm guessing they are going to do this using java, as how else would they be able to support the myriad phones OSes out there?
edit: looks like 1.1 is the latest....
