Cingular 8525 3D Effects 'rom'

I have the 8525 and would love to have the best rom ever especially while this new iphone is coming out. Is there a rom out there that has the best 3D effects for the phone or is someone working on a rom like that. because if we can get are 8525 to have the 3D effects I think that there won't be any phone that can touch ares. the iphone and the new touch phone, that's the only thing '3D effect' they have on us... please let's make everyone know why we are sticking with are 8525's. Thank You!

What the heck please obey forum rules and use the SEARCH FUNCTION

searching forums
I've installed so many ROMS, searched the forums. I know what he means. We've all see the youtube demo of the flashy screen changes. I think I have the perfect rom then its not. Reinstalling new roms and restoring the 50+ apps sucks every time. Yeah, I have SPB backup, but it's worthless on apps with new registry settings.
I've been using modded roms way back on many phones for SEVERAL years. The Iphone will be the best / current phone out. Can't wait till we crack into it. (I know everyone is excited about this.)
I personally use my PDA/phone for business and need everthing to work, and keep on working.
Currently 8525.
I still am craving a true VGA phone with a 850 GSM. The QVGA seems stuck as the main choice.

umm... speak for yourself BigBad... I'm not excited about the iphone at all.. My 8525 does everything it does pluse more. Videos and music? yah we can do that... oh missing the 8gig or whatever? so what, i use orb and have access to my network hard drive in my house which lets me view/listen to 120 gigs of videos/music
The iphone i see it is for consumer whores... Did u see the demo on installed apps through safari? they skip!
i think its a worthless device put together by a briliant team that knows how to suck every penny out of mr. and mrs. average joe!
And NO i am not one of those apple hating windows hard core freaks. I'm currently writing this on my macbook with my hermes connected to windows xp which is running on my macbook through parallels.... i have the best of both worlds and don't see an iphone entering mine anytime soon!

The Iphone
you guys forgot to mention its only 2g!! Only wifi i-net connect, nuff said!!!!!

i'm so sorry being a noob, but honestly i searched and searched every where but i can not find a rom with 3D effects. Maybe you guys are miss understanding me on this...i know they have the rom that has the touch rom and iphone rom 'look a like' but it does not do what the touch htc and iphone does like when the screen turns around and things like that. the only reason i wrote this post was maybe someone can at lease point me in the right place...i currently have black 3.0 and love it.... again i search every where everyday and that's why decided to do this post. don't get me wrong i love everybody's hard work on the roms they do that is amazing, so i'm not dissing anyone...i just wanted the 8525 to be the best that it can be and hopefully have a lot of 3D effects.....SORRY

TouchFlo on Hermes

I Phone not up to Par
The i-phone device thing is inferior in many ways. The only thing it has on the Hermes is that it looks really cute and colorful. The processor on it is only 300 mhz, why go backwards, only 2g. Connectivity-wise not even, please. But again it is cute looking.

My theory...
You know, what if posts like this current thread
as well as posts like this:

are actually people working for MS trying to piss off the chefs enough so that they will stop sharing their ROMs? Just a thought.

Hate to bring life to a dead thread...but will the hermes ever support touchflo? Is it a hardware limitation?

In the Wizard forum we have gotten a hold of a working wizard rom with touch flo working in it. Ie the cube application with touch spinning it along with the scrolling feature. So I would assume it won't be long before this is ported to the hermes and many other devices...

well if it has already been tested on the hermes where can we download it?

Windows Mobile 6.5

I have seen many threads have been popping up with new 6.5 ROMS for other phones. While I know that these are NOT full versions of 6.5 they do have added features.
So my question is ... Are we (The Vogue users) going to get to see these updates.

it depends on if your chefs feel like going through the countless hours of building it and porting it to your phone. I'm sure they will eventually but it's not easy, trust me.

actually nfsfan has already been working on it. It doesn't work totally yet for the vogue (no calls and text issues) but it's on the way.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54245&page=2

Confilipper has already done it over at PPCGeeks. He has released a beta for Alltel users.
Pretty buggy but it's fast........

Sadly the WM6.5 build 21139 is a fake. The dsms are hexed, and so is the core. The CMHome plugin doesn't work, neither does any of the "new" addons. I ported CMHome which is supposedly a 6.5 component, however its only dependencies that are different from that of the 21014 build are XMLLite.dll and CCore.dll. Running it on 21014 build freezes the phone just like on the fake 21139 build.

Thanks anyways
sorry to hear that you waisted your time working on the 6-5 NFSMAN, thanks for doing your thing as usual.

So are all of these other 6.5 roms that we see all over the place fakes as well?
Im glad to see that we still have a group of good developers (like yourself) who are still dedicated towards bringing us the latest & greatest!

I flashed the so called 6.5 last night and it seemed fairly fast.

It isn't any faster than the 21014 at all. And nothing is new in it!! Many things are broken, because the build is a mix of a bunch of other older builds. The fileexplorer has different icons, but it doesn't look like anything MS would incorporate. Besides think about it... If this was real, MS would be all over it.

Thanks for Sprint 1.08. Works great

T-Mo US 6.5 ROM and time

Has anyone else observed with this ROM that the clock seems to be delayed or wrong after charging or a long sleep?
I'm using SPB Mobile and I have "automatically change time zone and clock" enabled under phone options.

I've checked Tmo website and US HTC website too and there is not official new ROM release for US Tmo TP2, where did you get 6.5 ROM for your TP2?
Is it working with US Tmo 3G network?

It's okay. It's a bit slower but not that much. It really depends on what you're doing on it.

I'm one of the ones thinking about going back to 6.1 from the 6.5
It doesn't seem to play nice with some programs I use, and it seems slower. I do like the home page looks a bit more than 6.1, but that isn't enough to keep me using the rom if it keeps crapping up.
There are too many issues I am finding, including the clock issue and lag from larger resources used.

Thanks

Yeah, the home screen is nicer and I like that plugin that detects where you are for the current weather. I've only had one run-in with a program and makes it difficult to run and that's iGO8's TTS. Because 6.5 is a memory hog, I can't seem to get TTS working unless I close manila.exe, restart, and run CleanRAM. Luckily I find the TTS distracting enough that I don't really need it all the time. I've had LOTS of errors installing various programs but everything seems to be working. I had to turn off the error notification in order to just be happy with operations.

I've also noticed that the messaging app keeps popping up ever so often. Anyone else notice this?

I am also having the time sync problem with my tp2.
I am using the official tmo 6.5 os and I am getting tired of this issue.
The reason I got rid of my watch was because I thought I had a dependable clock on my phone.

Yup same issues. BUT after doing alot of tweaks and changing alot of registry entries, I finally like how my phone is working. It is true, it's a memory hog but I got use to it. BTW in the beginning after upgrading to the Tmo 6.5 official rom, I wanted to go back to 6.1 but couldn't. I even talked to the Tmo. support and how I hated the upgrade and made my phone work like crap. She said the only way to go back to 6.1 is to get another phone from them (swap for a new TP2 with 6.1 still). So this is my story about 6.5 upgrade. So if you have 6.5 and want to go back to 6.1 on a Tmo TP2 better do that now before they run out because the Touch HD2 is coming from them.

Here you can download the original 6.1 TMOUS ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550975

So . . . . has anyone else experienced this clock time lag.
I have been on 6.5 for about 2 weeks and my clock is regularly 3 minutes behind.
(I have a separte TP2 running sometimes JoshKoss Perfect Black and sometimes NRG roms - that device is never behind)
Any thoughts on why on the stock TMo 6.5? There is a small thread on the TMo forums, but it really didn't shed much light.
H E L P . .

WTF do these dumbass replies not relate to the thread title
just look at the thread title and compare it to these dumb ass, off topic posts...

thanks for all your comments...??? That's a ****ing laugh...You didn't start the thread you goon, you hijacked it and rendered it rather useless...
if you have nothing beneficial and on topic to add to the original post, don't post anything at all, or start your own thread...

Aunt Flo visiting??
Wow, someone is having a bad day...
...and for the record, the clock issue seems to be in part due to a "coolness" factor...or at least that seems to be what the consensus says.
Also telling someone who may be interested in 6.5 that there are some issues beyond the clock issue, is not hijacking the thread, it is warning them that another thread may be needed to fix something else that has gone wrong.
Finally, several of the 6.5 issues have been addressed in cooked roms, but they themselves are not 100% bug free, and one may be trading a stock rom issue for a cooked rom issue.
When a solution is found, and works 100% I am absolutely certain someone will post about it and will be practically wetting themselves over said fix.

Perhaps you should take your own rather b*tchy advice (as your post also was of no benefit and provided no fix to the OP's querry). You were quite rude in calling a fellow XDA member a MORON. I'll also add that if you have nothing NICE to say, don't say anything at all.

lol...seems i've struck a nerve...lmao...the raw truth often does...

No the truth doesn't hurt, it is your RUDENESS to other members that bothers me.
Whether a thread has or has not veered off topic is not a reason to be a rude asshole to other members...
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR VERY OWN POST HAD NOTHING BENEFICIAL TO ADD TO THE OP'S QUERY, THEREFOR WAS JUST AS MUCH A HIJACKING AS THE ONES YOU CLAIMED TO BE.

Striking a nerve implies creating pain. Strike a nerve is a colloquialism for something with negative connotations, while Strike a chord, has positive ones. As you used the term STRIKE A NERVE in the same sentence alluding to the truth...I answered you with the truth does not hurt. Perhaps you were confused with what implications to use, and you really meant to use the positive terminology of Strike a Chord.

Now you not only insult other XDA members, but now attack me for pointing out a very glaringly obvious point to your own post---that you did nothing yourself to answer the OP's posting. Perhaps you have Napoleonic Syndrome and feel it is necessary to attack others to somehow make yourself feel better. We do not need bullies at XDA. Feel free to troll some other website.
If you feel it is truly necessary to continue to attack XDA members and/or flame this thread, go right ahead, as it is now YOU taking it so far off course that I am sure it will soon be closed. I have spoken my mind, and will not engage you further. If you must get the last word in to save your tiny manhhood, then go ahead.

guys...i'm in a dilemma and thought you could help me...
maybe this isn't the right section to do so but...didn't have the idea where else to post this
should i swap my hero for a touch pro 2
i love senseUI and android as it is beautiful,simple and so on,but lacks some software (which is not too important but...still counts)
i checked prices and tp2 is still more expensive (maybe because of the OS)
i have experience with abut 15 htc wm devices but never got hands on tp2...
so based on hardware vs hardware and your experience...what do you suggest

Hi farkub,
If I´m not mistaken you had an Universal right?
Go for Rhodium with no doubt!
Is the best hardware keyboard device to this date and 2010 models won´t be better.
Hero is ok but Android is too young and immature for now, perhaps in the future...
Just my opinion
Cheers and hope to see you on this section soon

nah i had artemis,himalaya,magician,hd,hero,diamond,hermes,herald,kaiser, and several more..but you probably ran into me in general and hermes section
i saw your poll...and thank you for it...
as for the immaturity i thought so too
but half of it went away when i got hands on hero...and the other half still stays (birth dates tell for themselves)...maybe 2.1 firmware is better but too bad i'll not have it when the htc's 2.1 upgrade comes out hehe
thanks for the opinion orb,much appreciated
as i thought i will go for tp2...at least for fun because it's a thrill to change and trade phones and to discover every of them
as we all know...there will never be a perfect one (the technology goes on and it's not quite good for the market to give the perfect one to the crowds)

hardware to hardware...
TP2 wins .. no brainer!!!!!
In all specs, TP2 is better than Hero!
Software???
I had the HTC Diamond
Windows Mobile sucks!!! It just does not have that many good software out there.. and when you find them.. Prices are higher.
I was waiting for the Diamond 2 to come out.. but got tired of waiting so I tried the Hero...
Wow... I dont see me going back to WM!
Hope that helped!

It´s great to know we will be seeing here!, it´s always nice to see familiar members
More than agree with the last part of your post!
Cheers,

so i swapped them today...let's see how long will this relationship last hehe
as for never coming back to WM....i wish i didn't but my current needs are a bit more pointed towards wm because of some specific software which can help me in my studies...i'm studying mechanical engineering and all that great software really helps out sometimes
i really liked android...and i still do,but this was a clean swap 1 for 1,and this still is a phone with better value...and i'm thinking about selling the tp2 already...it's brand new,no scratch on it....with all goodies...so if anyone wants we can talk...but till then i'm gonna enjoy it while i can
and believe it or not...i'm a windoze hater
but software forces me to use it...both in pc and ppc worlds
(but still i use ubuntu most of the time on my pc hehehe)
thank you dan and orb

TP2 owns every other phone I've had, including the sucky iPh*** 3gs..
Hardware vs hardware, it's the smoothest WM phone I've had, using Valkyrie's rom of course.
Update radio, and mess with the settings a little, and you go yourself a bestfriend.
Imo, I think android's are crappp.

oh yeah which rom do you people suggest
valkyrie seems to be a decent one....probably energy roms are good to but that tone of bluer really irritates me
and for the radio...i put blackstone radio rom to a diamond and the battery life doubled...so is the 1.17.**.** blackstone radio also good for this one or you suggest other maybe
and for messing with stuff...that's what keeps me with WM
i'm a tweak freak

Hi
If you are thinking on sell your TP2 let me know (PM)
As for ROM try Energy phoenix (Sense 2.1) this version:
EnergyROM_28008_RHODIUM_04.Dec.2009_Standard
If you can´t find it let me know and I´ll send it to you
Cheers,

is everything blue? ...hope not...i will pm you...but i have to find a way to get the payment...since accepting payments via paypal doesn't work here in bosnia (or that's at least what one guy told me)....any ideas?

6.5?

can the touch pro 2 run 6.5? or does it get the upgrade to 6.5?

yes, there are multiple 6.5 builds out there. what carrier do you use?

i have tmobile....i am new to the WinMo platform, i wanted to get the 6.5 upgrade and also run Android on my device.....does the Android hack support 6.5?

6.5 supports the android hack. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but you boot into windows and then load android. If your phone was purchase in the last month or two from Tmo you should already have 6.5 installed.
Here are some links for T-Mo 6.5:

Welcome from the Feisty Woman
Hi welcome to xda and enjoy your new brick...
Sorry, just some *****y humor to say before you do ANYTHING please read and then re-read all the wiki's/manuals/stickies in the Rhodium forum...there are steps you must take before "playing" with your phone, such as unlocking it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you understand these steps or you will have a very pretty, very expensive paperweight aka brick.
6.5 is available as both a stock upgrade and custom roms. If your device is very new it may already have 6.5 on it. Droid is not fully functional yet, but it is becoming so very quickly...again, before attempting any rom change, RTFM!!
I would strongly urge you to read in both rom and droid sub-forums of Rhodium, as well as in the general sub-forum. Stickies are the best place to start.
Happy tinkering and welcome to xda, you will become seriously addicted and probably turn into a rom whore like most of us (that's the fun part)!!

ok, thanks 2 both of u guys answers, i will def read everything before doing so.....i jus wanted to try somethin diff, and also which one would u recommend? HD2 or Pro 2? my Pro 2 is on its way, but i didnt kno if the HD2 is better beacuse it has a faster processor and i am new to WinMo, i just left Blackberry...i had a G1 before that so i already kno how to use Android

Frankly, if my TP2 had the bigger processor that the HD2 has, it would be absolutely PERFECT (yes, I have processor envy!)
That being said...I would not trade in my TP2 for an HD2...I love the sturdiness of my TP2, I love the physical keyboard. I am very hard on phones, and I tested the HD2 out in the store and it felt like, to me, a wimpy iPhone...like I would snap it in half...but then my phone must battle makeup, hairbrushes, and whatever other girly stuff is in my purse that makes it weigh 50 pounds...so I need a bulky, sturdy device.
I do not know if/when the HD2 will be droid compatible, but I know our Rhodium chefs have been kicking ass in that arena!! We also have some wicked awesome chefs cooking up WinMo roms...I am personally a big fan of the Cell team, but all the chefs here are really awesome and very helpful.
Anyway, again, welcome to xda...and be sure you read and re-read before attempting any modifications.

how could i make the phone run faster? or free up more memory?

That young padawan can be found by reading the forums...
check out some of those stickies/wikis mentioned as priority reading materials.

...what I do is install "fluff" programs to my sd, also my cache files...I also routinely clean my phone of crap including bad uninstalls/shortcuts, dangling notifications and stuff like that using programs like SK Tools or MemMaid.
