Hi,
I don't see a specific forum for the new
Telus P4000
Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800)
HTC Titan
Can you create this one ?
thank's
the picture if you want...
I've just found out it was discussed before and decided there would not be many users due to it being CDMA only, as a testimony to that afaik you are the only person to have asked about it. Use the general forums in the top section for now
I'll ask about it too!!!
Nobody is asking probably because they just started shipping. I got mine yesterday and would love a dedicated forum.. You'll probably start seeing the requests coming in this week as they get delivered.
You have my vote as well. Would be nice to have that forum...
could always take a look at ppc geeks
I'm VERY interested in this phone because it is the first decent CDMA device that I've seen.
Around here, Sprint has very cheap unlimited EVDO ($15 a month), so I might switch to this phone just for that!
So, I too would love to have a PPC6800 / HTC Titan forum!
Why not, I mean the 6700 / Apache has one, doesn't it?
BE HEARD! LET'S MAKE A SUB FORUM FOR THIS DEVICE!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
As bugout and some others know I...third...fourth...whatever the sub topic. THe Apache is a CDMA phone and its listed...and since CDMA PC HTC..cool phone are rare I think it would be good to have a place to ask question about them.
I would like to see a titan forum as well. Hopefully some of the gurus here can figure how to get the GPS enabled!
I just got the phone today and I would love to see a forum for it as well. By the way, this phone is awesome.
id love to see one too!
I would like to see a forum for the Titan as well. It doesn't seem right to have to discuss the phone elsewhere then send people here for the info.
I would like this forum too. The apache has a forum to itself...
I would like to see a Titan subforum as well.

Isn't the 'Titan' you mention the TyTN? TyTN is pronounced 'Titan' and the generic manufaturer name for it is 'Hermes'. TyTN is just one of many names that the Hermes is marketed with.
If you scroll down the main forum index page you will see sub-forums for the Hermes. That's what you want.
Or am I completely mistaken?

Titan is HTC P4000, Hermes\TyTN is HTC P4500. different CPU, different ROM size, plus they open opposite directions. There really should be a separate forum
I agree, a new one would be great. As someone who has been around since the beginning of the Wizard, it would be great to see similar support for the Titan. I am thinking about switching to Sprint to get the ev-do, but would feel even better doing so knowing that we have skilled people such as Faria and Molski cooking up some roms for this beast
+1 for a Titan forum.
add me to the list of people who wants a titan forum
Can you please make a new thread about HTC Cavalier, where we can address our issues about this model, insted of using HTC Excalibur thread.
Cheers

Ok i will put it to admin and the other mods - was thinking the same thing the other day.
I'll have to second this again. The Cavalier could really use it's own Thread.
We need Cavalier forum please.
Please create the HTC Cavalier/Dopod C730/HTC S630 forum.
Thanks!
OK, I repost the request to other mods.
Support to have a Cavalier forum
Strange, very strange!!!
HTC Cavalier for the moment is the best WM Smartphone money can buy and still there is no separate forum for this device. Even HTC Oxygen (technicly the worst HTC Smartphone) has it's separate forum.
Strange, very strange!!!
Cheers,
Yes why!!!
Apart from the iME problem, it is fast, new tech for the scroll and light sensor..why it is ignored?
...is it really selling well enough to have it's own area? Other than when it was released, you really don't hear that much about it.

Right... There was a lot of info just prior to it's release, and then some reviews right after -- but it doesn't seem to have been picked up by a lot of carriers (at least here in the states). Have many of them sold?
Maybe they should create a forum for 'Other' smartphones that never really took off, and you could talk about it there?

I know one thing that Cavalier is selling better than Oxygen, StarTrek, Monet and Breeze and finally it has better techical specs than any other smartphone on the market. Why carriers aren't picking it up, I really don't know and don't care as I don't buy phones with contract.
So your idea of "other" forum is good for above named phones but not for Cavalier.
There is another thing, HTC still did not anounce Cavalier for the rest of the world (except Asia), maybe this is why carriers aren't picking it up. If you want to get the device simply order it without a contract (for now). Even if this device goes on sale only on Asian Continet that does not meen that other people wont get it and that "it will not take off".
Cheers
Sounds like you're happy with it, must be a nice device.

Yeah, I have been part of those 40+ pages on HoFo but that really just talks about the phone. I would like to know some new hacks and such.
My thoughts exactly. That is a user forum, not a hacker forum. I have several hacks I would like to post in that forum. For example:
After successfully unlocking the Application / security locks, I have succeeded making cleartype Japanese fonts from Meiryo (MeiryoKe), reducing size of fonts for reading and composing messages, and size of fonts for pop up menus (but not buttons).
I also succeeded to divert have incoming SMS messages get delivered to Pocket Outlook instead of the Softbank Mail application, but still have MMS (S! Mail) functionality handled by that application. (It seems that I can send outgoing SMS by either application)
I also figured out how to remap buttons and found out how to disable the Softbank Mail button on the Joggr (which was pretty annoying because I would accidentally hit it all the time, so I had to disable the entire Joggr).
I'm looking for information about how to enable Internet Connection Sharing - I haven't been able to get this working yet.
There's no forum, so I'll post here . . .
khammo01: have you posted your overall experience with X02HT anywhere yet? I'm using X01HT now -- WM6 in eigo. I'm guessing the X02HT came from Softbank already in English, right? If I switch over to the X02HT, I assume that the level of hacking I will have to do is much less than what I went through to get my X01HT working. The hacks you are mentioning are fairly minor tweaks, so am I correct in my assumption?
Thanks!

Well, it seems that xda-developers are gonna treat Cavalear as HTC does - as a "Bastard".
Pity...
Hello guys,
As you can see, I am a noob in Rhodium but have been flashing since Magician, Tytn ,Tytn II.
So I know what to ask before posting, so please do not bash me as I am a noob with Rhodium and never had this Warning Come before in previous Phones.
Warning:
This package is not intended for your device type!!
High chance of bricking!! Existing Now!!
I bought the phone SIM UNLOCKED as I am using another network SIM on it.
I get the warning when trying to Flash automatically.
Now my question is, Should I go manual as the warning says do not attempt Manual UNLESS Another warning comes. Nothing in the Noob section talks about this particular warning.
If anyone could lead me to the right path, it would be highly appreciated
Hope you guys welcome me aboard and start multi flashing as I did on my previous phones
What model of Rhodium do you have? Under the battery, there should be barcodes and RHODxxx, where xxx is a number like 100, 300, etc. For example, my Tilt2 is a RHOD300. See, you might have a GSM/CDMA hybrid device, which needs a different HardSPL (which is in development). The model number will allow you to know if it's GSM or GSM/CDMA. If your device is GSM, it still gives a warning, and you've searched for others with this problem, you should post in the HardSPL unlocker thread.
mine is a RHOD500.
Help me, what should I do.
I see We ve both followed the same path. Kaiser than Rhodium
Yeah, seems like quite a few Kaiser owners were waiting for a better upgrade than the Raphael, and went with the Rhodium.
Anyway, back on topic. You have a RHOD500, which is a GSM/CDMA hybrid device. Unfortunately, there is currently no HardSPL for the RHOD400 or RHOD500 (only the exclusively GSM Rhodiums have HardSPL). However, you can rest assured that cmonex and Olipro are working on it.
That is sad as I was really looking forward to turn this Rhodium upside down.
Coz i know it has high potentials.
BTW, wht is the difference between rhod100,300,500,etc... Why the different ones? Were there flaws that were corrected everytime?
Oh well, back to kaiser forum and pimping it out with Stylez
Cant wait to get here and start flashing and helping out with the testing
The difference in model numbers reflects changes in hardware (AFAIK). For example, the the RHOD100 is the European GSM version from HTC, with the front camera, but the RHOD300 is the AT&T Tilt2 without the front camera (it also contains a slightly different chipset). The RHOD400 & RHOD500 are both GSM/CDMA devices, and as such have different chipsets than the GSM only versions. If you remember that the Kaiser had models KAIS100, KAIS110, and KAIS100 (depending on the amount of cameras), it's pretty much the same thing here.
Also has to do with Radio Chipset. The T-Mobile GSM Only Rhodium is different than the AT&T GSM Rhodium. They have different 3G hardware to handle the different 3G bands used. This is also why the European one has a different Model #. They have different 3G bands as well. T-Mobile is the RHOD210. Also, if you go to HTC's site & check, you'll see each one has a different Qualcomm MSM 7K chipset listed.
AT&T has 7201a
Verizon & Sprint have 7600
T-Mobile & European have 7200a
Thank you guys. I appreciate your help
A few more questions if you guys dont mind
1- When I had the kaiser, i used to flash different radios(kaiser,polaris,neon,niki) in order to get MY desired radio(GPS,batterylife,etc..). Will I be able to do that with my RHOD500?
2-Regarding also waiting for a HARDSPL(thank you Olinex and Olipro), will I have to wait for a better release in the future? (i.e: Production cars, people dont always buy the FIRST fleet of cars as they still have flaws, so they wait for the 2nd and 3rd production fleet where the company would have fixed the 1st release flaws)
I am not talking about roms as I know thats the case, but close enough since we had 3.29,3.34,etc..for Kaiser.Which will I have to flash?
Will I have to do that?
3-I bought my Rhodium Unlocked(since I am using another company), will I still have to get security/sim Unlocker in order to flash different radios?
Thank you guys for welcoming me over here
I'm not sure about that. Since those devices have GSM/CDMA capabilities, they might use different radios than GSM devices (I don't know), but I'm not sure if anyone other than cmonex and Olipro could answer that.
No, there really isn't a reason to wait. It's extremely unlikely that any unforseen consequences would occur since they have teams of people testing HSPL long before release, to ensure that it's okay to release to the general public.
You do not need to security unlock to flash radios. You DO need to security unlock to flash radios from other devices (such as the Topaz). However, this brings me back to your first question, which as I have already said, I do not know the answer to. Therefore, I think you'll need to wait and see (though HardSPL for CDMA devices should be out very soon from what I hear)
Appreciate your answers Dave .
Thanks for helping me out.
I do hope they get the HARDSPL soon as I am dying to start working on my RHODIUM.
I do want to ask the questions to cmonex and Olipro, but I am sure they are quite busy. Also I doubt they will answer my questions as they are busy and usualy, most busy people just tell me read the FAQ, which sometimes doesnt have the answer to my question.
BTW, have u tried STYLEZ Black, V3. Trust me, you ll luv it.FLAWLESS

Sure, happy to help
As I've said, HSPL should be ready very soon. CDMA HardSPL has already been finished, but cmonex was busy IRL and she also has to work out mirrors and the licensing server (or something like that). And when the Security/SIM/CID unlocker is ready, I'm sure that Olipro or cmonex (whoever posts it) will say what radios you can flash, etc.
Thx for the explination. Appreciate it
I am watting anctiously to start flashingm y RHOD500
Hey guys. Now I have a very good question.
In all my previous HTCs, I used to install NeoS2007 OpenVG and Chainfire's GFXBoost which seemed to improve Significantly the proformance and graphics.
Should i also install them on my rhodium?
When I used the NeoS2007 driverpack 3 on EnergyROM "Leo", I actually got worse 3D performance, and it seemed slower than before. GfxBoost didn't really have a noticable effect, IMO. However, you should test them on whatever ROM you have, since the overall effect may be different in your particular setup.
The thing is, I have the RHOD500, no HARDSPL YET. I just wanted to know in advance of the effect so that when the time comes to flash, ill get everything done by the first flash.

Hello,
Well i have finally gone and joined the elite ranks of owning a phone with the Windows Mobile OS.
Usually been a blackberry user who went to the HTC Magic and has just given up on the Google Android OS (is that a dirty word around here?).
So i purchased the HTC Touch Pro2 based on a recomendation from a very jealous workmate. Am still waiting for delivery but have a few queries he thought i should ask on here to get a good varied level of responses.
1. HTC Touch Pro2 - Good phone?
2. Vodafone ROM - I believe the ROM vodafone use (UK) screws the phone up a bit. So those who use Vodafone and still have their ROM installed... what do you think of it?
3. ROM - Any recomendations on the best ROM? I understand their are many out there and all do various things but just trying to get a view of what people prefer.
4. SPB Shell - a must have?
Thats really it i guess... just trying to get a feel of the OS and issues before i start tinkering.
Thanks!
Welcome to forums
1. Yes!! one of the best actually!
2. Before flashing, be shure to learn how and to identify if your Rhodium is CDMA or GSM
3. There is no such thing as the best ROM, what is best for me could not be for you. Try the more you can till you get your best.
Check ROM section and see the threads with more reads/posts this way you´ll have an idea what members prefer more
4. I do not like spb, I´m quite happy with Manila/Sense 2.1, no need to install another external heavy app
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
HI all ..i just ordered tp2 from ebay since its yet not launched here in india.actually there was one sprint phone and one unlocked ohone listed there ..sicne i wanted 3.5 mm jack and the fact is i quite did not like the silver key board on the unlocked phone, i opted for sprint...
my question is how do i upgrade it to win mo 6.5..the seller says
"If you want I can send you the 6.5win mob file along with the stock (original ROM) and the procedure to upgrade and if not happy then downgrade to original rom."
but i read on web that sprint has not yet relaesed 6.5 rom pls advise.
also how is the video and audioi playback of the device since i prefered it over samsung omnia i 8000 which has a oled screen..actually i was tired of holding devices to my nose to watch videos and wanted a device which i can put on table and watch vdo music etc..
Your sprint Rhodium is CDMA, so this is the section where you can find a 6.5 ROM:

Welcome Paul Good to see somebody thinking ahead about things like this!
1) I think a lot of people here will agree that the TP2 is the pinnacle of a "fully-capable" smartphone...it's definitely the best of the QWERTY-enabled hardware available today, and will probably remain so until/unless they eventually release a HD2 or equivalent with a hardware keyboard (...heaven willing!)
2) I've never used the Vodaphone ROM, but most carrier-specific ROMs are lacking in some way, and a large number of the ROM's available here will work regardless of which carrier you have...as long as you use one for the correct NETWORK type (which I believe is CDMA for Voda). Often the aftermarket ("cooked") ROMs developed here are based on carrier-issued ROM, then "improved" in any number of ways.
3) As orb3000 said above, there's no real way to subjectively recommend a "best" ROM...each has it's own pros and cons that have to be weighed against the needs/preferences of the user. The best place to start on that is to read THIS and THIS thread on flashing ROMs, then read over the threads related to each ROM that's been cooked/released here. Again, just make sure you're looking at ones that are for CDMA networks.
4) SBP Shell is definitely a great program, and can do a lot for the UI...but like most here I happen to believe that you can get more bang for your buck with the custom ROMs available here. Again, it's best to just try some out (including running a trial of SPB), and see what fits you best
THIS thread will help clear up the differences between windows mobile versions 6.5 and 6.5.3, which you'll see a lot of here.
So, you've got a lot of reading to do between now and when your new TP2 arrives! Once you get through all that, the next thing to learn is how to install/apply the fixes and tweaks available on XDA...usually that's done through ".cab files" (when you're lucky), sometimes through executable files, and sometimes through good old-fashioned registry edits by hand. I get the feeling you'll be learning about all that stuff quickly enough
2 last pieces of advice...first, make friends with the search function here in the forums...its often more efficient than just posting a question, and will save you from the backlash that can happen when someone asks a question with answers that are readily available around here. Lastly, even though the ROMs and other tweaks here are produced out of a labor of love, most any and all developers will accept donations (however small) to help offset personal expenses related to the time and effort they put into the wonderful gifts they drop on us regularly here. Donations are always voluntary, but once you find a ROM or other bits that work well for you, it's always good form to express your appreciation via some kind of token like that.
Good luck! Your friend has no idea what jealousy is about until he sees the look on your face when you start playing with your new toy!!

If you bought a Sprint-branded phone, then it's CDMA, and there's no changing that. You can't "unlock" a phone to switch between GSM and CDMA...so if your network is GSM, this phone is no good to you as a...phone

Actually, that's not true. See, the funny thing about the Rhodium is that there are no exclusively CDMA versions. Instead, there are the RHOD400 and RHOD500 models, which are GSM/CDMA hybrids. People refer to them as CDMA devices because of the fact they operate on CDMA networks by default, but they have full GSM capability, and can use regular GSM SIM cards.
dheerpat: The device you have bought works on GSM, but it will be referred to as a CDMA device on this forum, and you should use CDMA ROMs on it, despite the fact it also works on GSM. You should be able to use a Vodaphone SIM with it as long as you put the device in GSM mode, and if the SIM doesn't work, you can unlock the device so it will work.
phew!!!!! missed a beat there..paid 500 bucks for it afterall

Hi, thanks for the response - and thanks to everyone else who has responded (aprt from those who hijacked my post lol).
I wont be using CDMA as i believe this is mainly for the US not the UK? So my geeky mate tells me, we only use GSM in England? Is he wrong and we don in fact use CDMA?
He also looked very shocked when i repeated that a lot of people dont go for the SPB Shell... he said its awesome and im stupid if i dont get it... yeah well i got a HTC Touch Pro2 and you dont pal... lol
I will look at the ROM's (already started) and will 'play' with a few that look interesting. I presume the SPB shell will work with any ROM and not wipe out any functionality? If i go for the SPB Shell...
Quite comfortable with the use of .cab files.... may not be so sure with registry tweaks but ill learn...

Yeah, SPB Shell used to be the best option for customizing the interface on winmo devices, but that was before HTC introduced, and have since refined, the TouchFLO3D interface. There's also a ton more user-generated tweaks and such that have sprung up since then (as you clearly see now).
I don't know about the GSM vs CDMA carriers in the UK or Europe, I'd always understood that GSM was dominant, but there were CDMA carriers there too...but I really have no idea for sure.
Well finally got my phone... its GSM....
Got the SPB shell - liking it.
Only issue i have is not being able to send MMS but trying to sort out.
So far so good - will play more once more confident - not bricking my phone for anyone lol
Hi admins,
Ive been using the HTC Merge for over a month now, and the phone was released in the states a week or two ago. A bunch of us merge users have been hanging around in other device threads or general threads trying to make some noise and get this thing rooted. However, a separate forum and wiki entry would help to get things organized.
PS: Any devs interested in helping us get cyanogen working on this? Its quite similar to the G2/Desire Z/HTC EVO shift. A custom bootloader+recovery is all we need.
+1
My wife got an Alltel HTC Merge the day before they were to be released. It's a great phone; just needs some love from XDA.
Forum for HTC Merge
Agreed--please create a dedicated forum for this device. It has been available with Alltel for a month now, and it will soon be released on other CDMA carriers. Since it's GSM-capable too, there's much interest in it in other parts of the world, too. And Alltel's selling it SIM-unlocked!
True, i have a US Cellular merge, and its sim unlocked too. So this phone could be big on the account of being a world phone. And yet it has no presence on the internet other than rumor posts from last year on tech blogs and the likes.
bring it on! we need perm root, roms, and kernels! Its on the verizon site now so hopefully it will be much more widespread very soon.

FYI, Stevie is not an Admin nor is he the mod of G2/DZ - that would be me. The Merge for the two devices was not only because they were in the Vision family, but rather because the shared the same specs and development is almost identical for both.
As far as the Wiki, Users are allowed to add into it, so why don't you try your luck at creating an entry?
We will only be adding devices if we see that they are necessary on the forum and either if a few thousand people want the device or there is existing development for it.
This is very much needed. I check this site all of the time looking to see if there are any Merge news about root and dev being done. I think now that Verizon is releasing the merge that there will be a big community. Hopefully some people that know more about developing than I do will work with the Merge. I have had mine over a month now and it is the best phone I have ever had.

My wife got an Alltel HTC Merge the day before they were to be released. It's a great phone; just needs some love from XDA.

Guys I Have an ALLTEL Merge.
And the GPS is not working whatsoever.
Please see my post and someone independent confirming my experience....

Anyone else with ALLTEL experiencing this flaw?
What a load of crap!
From what I can see, this ALLTEL rom is only bespoke in the form that it has a few ALLTEL wallpapers and a bootscreen animation - other then that its all HTC Sence STOCK - so how the fuNk did they mash the GPS.
Very annoyed
GPS works on my Alltel Merge

GPS works on my Alltel Merge with only the GPS on and the wireless location service turned off.
It does, however, take quite a while to get a lock, especially with a cloudy sky.
GPS has never worked on my Alltel Merge. I love the phone but wish GPS worked and wish I could install custom roms.
I have been looking EVERYWHERE for HTC Merge rooting and themes and haven't found a thing. There definitely needs to be a dedicated forum on here.
We definitely do need a forum, and we also need to get these phones onto custom recovery so we can start making and flashing roms. We need these guys. Ive been trying to contact them, but cant find a contact vector, and dont have the time to dig in these days. Anyone else want to try? The more noise we make, the more chances we may have to get this done.
Looking forward to a Merge Thread too.
+1 more for a Merge forum. I just got the US Cellular version yesterday. Switched from WinMo TP2. Haven't found a decent forum yet. Got my fingers crossed.
I also have the USCC Merge...love the phone so far. Would love to see some custom roms and stuff for it!
I, too, am excited to see the HTC Merge rooted!! I have the USCC Merge and really really want to get it rooted so I can run a few specific ROMS. Great phone so far after about a week of having it (upgrade from a Blackberry Curve :0 ). Thanks XDA!
+1 more for merge development, great phone!
got my uscc merge few days ago and i love it! could be alot of potential if someone would just look into it. please please, and thanks!
It's already a great device, but it would be even better rooted. Thanks for your time.
