Hi All.
Long Time Browser, First Time Poster! (On These Forums )
First Of All I Would Just Like To Say That These Forums Have Been My Place Of Obsession For The Last Week Or So And Thanks To All The Members Who Make This Place What It Is.... The Best HTC Universal Forums On The Web (IMO)
Now Thats Out Of The Way, Down To Business.
Im Looking For The Fastest Latest Rom To Use On My XDA Exec (Preferably Not A Network Branded One)
Also I Currently Have The Helmi AKU3.5 1.3.1 Rom On My XDA And Whenever I Restore My Backup Made With SPB Backup To My Device Everything Works Apart From My Contacts.
Everytime I Try To Access My Contacts The Window Just Pops Up And Then Dissapears. The Contacts Window Works Before I Restore But Not After.
The Same Thing Happens When I Restore My Contacts With PimBackup.
Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks In Advance
OllieD
Ok Ive Solved My Contacts Problem.
PimBackup Works Fine. The Problem Was With Restoring My Old Pim.Vol File With My Old Pim.Vol Contacts Dont Work And Pim Backup Says It Cannot Access Contacts Through Outlook.
I Just Removed The Pim.Vol after Restoring My Backup Soft Reset My Device And A Clean Pim.Vol Was Created By The System, I Then Ran PimBackup And Restored And It All Works.
Lets Just Hope I Dont Have Any Other Bugs Lurking Around.
Question About Fastest Rom Still Stands, Is Helmi AKU 3.5 1.3.1 The Latest Fastest Most Compatible Rom ?
How long does it take you to type when you're capitalizing the first letter of every word??!?

Hehe, I was thinking that...
And welcome to the forums Ollie, you may want to try out a WM6 ROM, sample the new features available (you can always return to a WM5 ROM afterward, Helmi 3.5 is probably one of the best. Although there are Vanilla (bloat removed) ROMs that may be faster).
If You Type In All Capitols It's Formatted Like This Automatically,
So It Actually Should Take Less Time Then Typing Normally.
Typing In "Propper Case" Is An Old Habbit Im Tryin To Kick.
Doesnt Take Me Any More Time To Type Like This Than In Lower Case.
My Pinky Heads For The Shift Key On Autopilot Lol
I Heard The WM6 Roms Are Full Of Bugs ?
Im Also Lookin For The Most Stable Rom,
I Know PDA's Are Prone To Crashes Anyways But Id Like To Keep Them To Their Absolute Minimum.

I use the new PDAVIET ROM, no crashes whatsoever. The main reason to avoid WM6 is the lack of videocall, but does anyone actually use that?
If Thats The Case. What Version Of PDAVIET Am I Looking For ?

Anyone Know If Theirs A Database For That As It Acts The Same Way My Contacts Was Acting, Jus Says Pictures & Video On The Top Bar And Then Dissapears.
Hi, anyone know the difference between the 2 rom in its initial release?
Thanks
They're both working beta versions, both have bugs, maybe not the same ones but still bugs.
Unless you want to bugtest the ROMs, leave it for a week or so for the next versions to come out.
These are not ROMS you want to flash if you're looking for a stable replacement for WM5, therefore if you're asking which is best, the answer is, neither, at the moment.
If you want to know the differences, read through the threads for each one and see what problems people are having with them.
well, there's a lot of differences here and there.
Mun's rom is a higher version of WM6, and includes some stuff (office 2007 compatibility) that LVSW's doesn't. Of course LVSW's has some tools and apps that Mun's doesn't have. Haha.. It's pretty tough to compare them.
I will say this, I found Mun's ROM to be a bit faster in terms of bringing up new programs/windows. I dunno if that has anything to do with his customization or just the version of WM6. However right now a lot of people (including me) are having trouble using activesync with this version. I switched to LVSW and am syncing fine now.
There's some other issues here and there regarding VOIP and stuff that separate them...
hope it helps. As always, for comprehensive info, you need to go read the posts..
Well my opinion is that this thread is pointless, try thrm both and you will find out which one fits your needs, thats all, it is not a hard task
so if active sync works in one and not in the other how about some combined work?
How about waiting until a stable release comes out. I mean wtf, it has been a little over a day and people already want the perfect ROM.
Tweaking a ROM takes a lot of effort. Its not always that easy to locate problems and even if you do, they are not always easy to fix.
Give it a few weeks or wait for an official ROM if you can't deal with a few bugs here and there.
Who is complaining? I think you are misreading peoples intentions here by criticising the ROMs. It is in essence part of the testing process that you give feedback and also desire to solve the issues.
Noone is expecting the perfect ROM, but if you dont want the perfect the ROM then what is the point in developing?
I didn't quote anyone so I refered to the previous post by jpless.
Maybe I misread it but he made it sound like it was as easy as putting feature A from ROM1 into ROM2.
Its possible for some parts but could introduce a lot more new bugs.
I'm sure mun_rus and LVSW are well aware of each others Roms, it just takes time to evolve it to the state WM5 is in today. Especially since we don't have an official WM6 Rom.
Sorry for my harsh tone earlier. In time, we'll have a perfect WM6 Rom.
I take them both.
Mun's ROM so Quickly
LVSW was able to sync
Thanks a lot both MUN/LVSW .
@ZakMcRofl
Thanx for comments. You are absolutly right.
Just wait for next release. I have to test new rom before and should say that:
-AS sync - OK
-GPS camera - ok
-etc
I have no chance t otry videocall, so don't know anything about it
I'm waiting for the second betas to come out, and I think I'll jump on Mr. Mun_Rus's rom because, well, I sent him money, so I might as well use the results of that, right?
In the name of healthy competition, I declare that I find mUn's ROM the better of the two after careful evaluation. So im going to go back to mUn's ROM for now. Faster and less buggy camera-wise. Maybe you are tired of this now, but thanks again to both you and lvsw for your work.

You didn't quote but referred? Anywho I know it's not as easy as it sounds, just thought that maybe by comparing the bugs in either one we could maybe help solve some of them or something Just trying to help here...
Usually its considered bad style to quote the person right before you since it takes up board space and is the default reference point anyways.
The problem with the bugs is that you can't always pinpoint them to a single file or module, otherwise what you say would be possible (replace the file from other ROM).
A Rom error can come from a file, a registry entry or combinations of the former. Obviously having a comparison base can help but its obvious that LVSW and mun_rus already use it plenty - check their WM5 AKU 3.5.x Roms for example.
MUn is Best
In all the roms I've tried, Mun was the very first I tried, and although I don't use it any more, It was the most stable, IE I didn't soft reset it unless an installation wanted me to, it never crashed on me.
dude... the last post on this thread was in 2007...
happy new year

You can use Photo Contacts Pro 3.0 for free
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/photocontact.mspx
Very recommended...
not working
Thanks for the suggestion, but I cant see where it's free. I did not fill out the ms survey. Is that required.
Thanks

It is free you just need to login with your "live" details, however here it is if you cannot be bothered Oh and yet me know how you get on wih it as Ive never tried it myself.
i also tried once photocontacts pro and although it has many usefull features i gave up using it... because it made my device very slow when it came to ringing... even with the clear rom it takes a lot to ring... with PC Pro the thing got worse... is the same with you or is somthing with my device (M3100)....
Well
This is photocontacts pro 3.0, meanwhile theres V 5.0 available...
I used photocontacts pro before and I was very satisfied with it. Of course you have to install the program itself AND all of your ringtones in the main memory, then it will not slow down your device. You can find it here:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
And I think, its possible to upgrade the MS Version, so it will be cheaper
If you larger pics just for incoming calls, you can try S2U2, its freeware:

As already mentioned its a very old version. And it is not freeware, its a testversion sponsored by MS, running for 90 days. So I recommend to everbody who wants to test photocontacts pro to use the newest one from www.pocketx.net.
Sponsored by MS
Everybody can download a test version, no need for sponsoring.
@doozerbob: what cab file did you install?
i used activesync to install it, tried version 3ish and got not valid, tried version 4ish and the demo worked fine, tried version 5ish and it wouldnt even start up, but im presuming thats because of my fone having veeery old firmware
Hi,
please help an HD newbie...
I like the standard TouchFlo on my, more or less, still standard HD but would simply like a plain black background on all the Tabs/Pages or whatever (The home/weather/ music etc ).
Can anyone give me a simple cab or something equally straighforward to do this?
Also, I have a different contacts program running (funcontacts) It is called fine when I call it from contacts via phone etc but NOT from the People tab, All People button. How do I get my HD to do this please.
Any help much appreciated!

The cab below should give you the same background image across all TouchFLO tabs. Install it and soft-reset. As far as I know you cannot re-map the "All People" softkey from the People tab...
Thanks
Thanks CW,
Going out for an hour but I'll try when I get back. Thanks again,

No Go
Thanks CW but I'm afraid it only partially worked. All the tab screens went black but the ino at the top of each went really weird and cr*ppy!
Anymore ideas anyone please.

I should have looked earlier at what rom you are running. You have quite an older version of TouchFLO in your rom. The cab I posted was intended for a much newer one. That's why it didn't work as I described it would. You could look into Maxycy's software to customize your TouchFLO. Other than that, I don't know what else still supports the older version.
Stupid question?
Why is it an old ROM in a brand new phone?
Shouldn't it be bang up to date? I had to wait for delivery because they were waiting for 'new' phones!
Am I just stupid?

No, HTC / the vendor is. Said you had a 1.19.xxxx rom when they have up to 1.59.xxxx released now. You should look into updating it. Are you interested in custom roms? If not, you should still look into updating to the latest official rom
in fact even the most recent stock roms (provided by operator) are often outdated compared to the roms you can find here (@xda)
they are mostly based:
newer builds of wm6.1 or wm6.5beta
some parts from other (newer) devices
optimzed and customized by the authors
i suggest you to read the hd section to see what u can do with your phone
Will do guys, thanks.
BTW, got my black screen on all tabs! Just had to do a bit of work and use Manila Editor. I will take a look at custom ROMs but they scare me
Maybe I'll pluck up the courage, just worried I'll brick my device!
Thanks again.

Flashing is easy if you are well informed beforehand. Just do the research before you flash. Read the Wiki and my guide on flashing roms. Links are in my signature.
Hi, I have had to turn my xda trion back to factory settings and now i cannot use my wi-fi or any of the programs i used before. I have been told this will be fixed by an upgrade in the operating system for the phone. I have searched every where to find windows mobile 6 or 6.5. Does anyone know how to find it? Thanks

install it from your phone
it won't do it:-( have installed from my storage card and it cam upwith a load of text, i take it, it installed, have paired my phone with the other phone, can send stuff, just can't recieve, the ftp tab or whatever suppose to be there (only going by what other posters elsewhere have put) isn't there. Imust be thick or something
i have paired the devices
so in devices the item is there, in mode i have both check boxes checked, compports(unsure about this, do i need to do anything in there?)
oops i am now experiencing hang ups on the phone,taking ages to do things...Hmmmm
not going to do a reinstall just though.
are there anymore fixes i can try for this, i have saved this one just in case though, xx
make sure 'beam' is on in comm manager and set to receive all in connections.
been having seveve problems since ilast posted tried to reinstall from scratch the copy of 6.1 i have and the screen was going white, so i have updated to 6.5 again, although i hate it, it's a shame there isn't an updated stock file of 6.5 with the look of 6.1 because that would be ace. Love the new connection in 6.5 on/off thing is i am having the same issues with bluetooth with 6.5, it must be my phone??? don't know where to turn now

link won't work for me:-( i have reinstalled 6.1, but it hasn't fixed it. But it maybe useful to know that if you do try a clean install of something, inother words the same on top of them same rom,and it hangs then it maybe worth installing a different one and then going back to the one you want, it worked for me anyway...lol

flash the at&t one before you flash the rom of your choice. It is essential to getting your phone to work well with 6.1 and 6.5 roms and eliminating tons of problems.
also flash using the sd method if possible

no offence but that rom is awful, it slows my phone, the backgrounds are rubbish in it, the different keypads are good though, but i only wanted the normal one. i don't wish to be scathing about it, but it just is not my taste. The bluetooth still doesn't work, no tab, people keep going on about another tab i should have at the bottom of the bluetooth, can someone clarify this??
i must say though., seeing the WIFI and Bluetooth on the screen is brilliant. The today screen is extremely basic. why isn't the start screen editable?? i'd like messages, clock, file explorer, and a few other things but there you go.
i am now searching for another 6.1 to rival the first one i found or a 6.5 that isn't to overthe top
Actually flashing with the microsd card is the preferred way because it's faster, more reliable and doesn't require you be connected to a PC. I think you should read the wiki a little (not meant to be condescending). If you want nice 6.5 roms that don't slow you down then try the lite versions. You will find them all with links to the at&t base rom.
finally tonight i have found what i have been searching for
the shipped 02 software
i am a complete newbie, and i'm totally wondering why no one pointed me at this when i first came to this forum, it has even replaced that stupid Dark vision HTC splash screen...rubbish!!!
It has fixed my bluetooth issue straight away, i know you like pushng the boundaries on here but christ i have spent 5 days searching for this!!
hopefully any newbies will find this post,it for a XDA Trion or Hermes 100 as i later found out and is the software that rolls out from 02
oh god finally.

Hi Essexgirl. Can you please tell me, where did you find the shipped 02 software? Do you have a link for it and what version of Windows Mobile is it?
