Hi guys, Just been playing with my HTC touch diamond for few days, and while generally plesaed with the device, the UMTS reception is horrible, if i switch off UMTS then GPRS is at nearly full bars.
I was wondering whether it is a good idea to flash it with a cooked rom, i understand i will need Hard spl installed, how safe is this? also could i ever flash it back to official HTC rom in case of warranty issues?
Thanks
this is posted all over the forums.. you really need to search and read before posting (and flashing!)
you can find more info at www.modmydiamond.info
Thanks racerx for the link, will have aread but having a quick glance, looks good

Hey guys, I'm the proud owner of an unbranded HTC TyTN (I guess the codename was hermes?)
I just read on engadget-mobile that HTC will be including a task manager that actually closes applications in the next rom, which I'm guessing they're calling AKU3.2 or something.
A few questions about that, HTC's europe website (I'm in the US, bought it unlocked) is really bare with info about upgrading roms on the TyTN.
I know that there are numerous threads about updating TyTN roms, however, they mostly seemed to be focused on the Cingular version. I don't want a carrier branded rom on my phone. Can someone please link me to the HTC Version of the latest ROM? Maybe a release candidate of it or something? I'm having a hard time here.
Thank you in advance guys!
Hmm.. it seems that I've found the answers to all of my questions...
I'm guessing that the HTC Task Manager just isn't released yet..
Thanks guys! I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a very, very long time on this website.
Hello all,
I'm new to this forum but have been playing at similar forums. It started with wanting to try every program I could find and lead to wanting to get WM6.1 on my Touch. I couldn't find one so I made one. It is my first attempt at anything of this magnitude. Anyway, I succeeded in Changing the splash screen and adding a few OEMs (sipChanger, Touchpal and a few others that may or may not stay.) I needed my Touch to stay fairly stock as I work for an Alltel Agent and need to demo my phone to customers. So all the stock software is still in my ROM. I posted it on ppcgeeks and ppcwarez but haven't had much response. I haven't had too many problems (a few quirks when switching programs but nothing major.)
Is there anyone out there that would be interested in this? I want to do some more modifications but if it's only for myself I will probably take my time.
Also I do have some questions, so if you are interested and want me to continue I would probably need some help.
Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/102675408/plckc_signed.rar
I would up it to the ftp but I get more stupid as the day progresses and its already pretty late.
I started work on it tonight
This sounds like just what I've been looking for, but I'm not technical enough to be of much help. I'm downloading it now to give it a try.

how do i install wm6.1
Seen your rom on ppcgeeks, flashed it, and was for the most part happy. In the touchflo cube, the pictures and videos bring up a black screen i belive. love the wm6.1 though. I have since flashed back to the newest OEM Alltel, as I too am an Alltel Agent. When I get some time, I will flash back to yours and report on a couple of things that could improve it, as this is the only other Alltel rom i'd use besides the stock one. Also, does the rev a, and gps work well with it? Didn't have it on my device long enough to play around with it that much.
also would like to know about 6.1 for alltel touch
still pretty new to flashing roms and so on but have been doing some reading and getting close to trying something new. also looking for more reading, specifically related to alltel version please post links if you have them. main goal is to unlock gps and have fun learning about things. thanks
So im getting a vogue today because my q died on me last night. I started out looking for a 6.1 update because i believe mine comes with wm6 and now i see all this stuff about cooked roms. WOW, never had these kind of choices with the q9c. Anyway can anyone tell me what would be the best rom for a Verizon vogue?
Looking at Stability,GPS,Ability to type without stylus, and 6.1 and/or a 3d gui included as major factors.
I seen the other thread but i cant tell if it says that rom has gps or not, this would be my first htc and my first foray into handheld gps.
Thanks guys
So here's the deal - search this forum and ppcgeeks.com for unlocker first. Then upgrade your radio. Then flash a custom rom. You will need to read all instructions. It's not as easy as plug and go. About 4 steps total. Maybe 15 mins of reading. NSFANs rom is highly recommeneded and I've tried them all. You will also need to run aGPS program also found in these forums. Just search the threads and your phone will be better than any iphone, etc.
Recommend some reading....
Thread closed as redundant and useless.
I work for Telstra and have been a wm follower for quite some time. However the rom released with the Telstra HTC HD has been butchered to say the least. The weather tab is gone and has been replaced by 4 different Telstra Tabs. The rom has telstra branding all over which is annoying and it also has a few known issues with lag and glitches. I like to for my good customers to have a cooked rom put on but they including myself miss out on things like foxtel on mobile and the bigpond portal which comes in handy some times.
So my question is is there a sepperate app that can be put on to allow foxtel or is there some sort of work around.
I know this question is only aimed at aussie users but any input would greatly be appreciated.
hey mate,
Yeah i had to same problem when i got my telstra hd.. hated it! so i have flashed it but would love to have the foxtel shortcuts in start. Im sure some fellas here could extract certain things if you provide them with a link to the official telstra rom..
if not i could try but aint guranteing anything! lol
i've never actually dumped my rom just got the phone out of the box the first day it came out and flashed half hour later so if someone does have a telstra rom post link please. I'd be willing to donate to whoever can extract.
well i guess theres nothing on this than.
Load the 15 tab cab
Guys, this has been discussed before. Simplest option is to load the 15 tab cab, it removes 99% of the Bigpond and Telstra stuff and gives you back the weather etc
that is a fix yes however the rom itself still has a number of issues and call me odd but i like having dutty's rom's on my phone. having searched on the blackstone forum i couldn't find anything. a link would be great.
My phone was bought for me by my employer so I don't want to muck around too much with things in case I stuff something up?
Will installing a new ROM void my warranty? Is this 15 Tab addon involve flashing?
All I want to do is get rid of all the Telstra crap and have my weather tab back. Should I just install the generic ROM update off the official website to keep my warranty?
adding a new theme will not void your warranty. If you do want to mucj around with the rom make sure you dump your telstra rom first so you can always go back to it.
This link may help you
Have a look through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483199
At post 45 you will find a cab you can download on custom ROMs like Dutty etc.
Cheers
Telstra
Hi all not to sure how this 15 tabs goes ... gotta test it my self but i did find a cab install that called touch flo 3d for hd that installs on any ppc phone and when i installed it on my HD it restored the eather and stocks tabs and also the customising option while keeping the telstra stuff as well ... this is not the esult I wanted but it sounds like the one you guys need and you dont need to reflash, one thing though this is a pretty big file and it takes a wile to install so be patient ... dunno who developed it but thaks to that guy or gal who ever they are cheers. get the file from here - http://rapidshare.com/files/194374786/TF3D_HD.CAB.html
OK, I am new here and have done a lot of reading. Apparently me and about 3 other guys are the only ones that have USCC, not a lot out there for us. NFSFAN, you have mentioned that you might be able to whip us up something if there were more, that would be great. I do have a number of specific questions and I'd love all the great input that everyone has.
1. 6.5 or Android? (yes I know it is all personal taste)
2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?
3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?
4. Am I asking to basic of questions yet?
5. How do I get Adobe Flash Player loaded/upgraded?
6. Is there a good .cab website out there for games/apps?
7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?
Nah j/k but I know my phone is capable of so much more than I am using it for now and want to take advantage of it. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.
Thanks
HTC Touch Vogue 6900

Have you look over at PPC Geek's at all? There is a lot more CDMa info there.
Ok, I kinda thought this was the forum for CDMA, aka my USCC VOGUE phone. I have looked on ppc and am going to repost this question there. I saw the wealth of knowledge here and thought I could get some help....

This particular forum is for the CDMA Vogue but this site is geared more toward GSM devices. There doesn't seem to be a big US Cellular following on here.

Yes it is a personal choice, nice thing about Android is that it is a Linux shell - rebooting the phone brings you back to WinMO so really it can be best of both worlds just be prepared for some work in using Android and remembering steps before starting it like, Starting IE/Opera before starting Android to make sure you have Internet within Android (at least when I was using it a few months back)

You would use 2.31 unlocker and from there flash to a custom ROM - try a Generic ROM either 6.1 or WinMO6.5 might be able to utilize GPS if your connecting via generic or seek out some other USCC users in threads, I know some are using 6.5 currently and able to work fairly well

No, 3.42.30 is fine, you wont see a difference with 3.42.50 worth it plus it can cause some issues more than positives so stay to the basics

Depends on the ROM used as well as the Browser (IE or Opera) there is some reports of IE Mobile 8 or something like that working but flaky

Search the forums both here at VDA as well as PPCGeeks you will see links to personal cab repositories that will contain some for ya

Of course you can, but the actual saying is "can I eat my cake and have it too" in reference to the days of Marie Antoinette and the famous line of "let them eat cake" the idea is to be able to eat your cake AND have it, which of course would be impossible as would the situation a person in reference to the saying would be wanting as well
Hope that helps

Thanks Doug I had almost given up hope on this thread. I have been on PPC Geeks and am just about to take the plunge. Thanks for all the advice and I see the logic in the actual "eat / have it" order, very interesting and educational. Thanks again and I will try to update after I upgrade.
spittinfly, in your reading have you found the settings you need with QPST to make your GPS work with USCellular? Also, the instructions that get you into the diagnostic mode with other carriers do not work with USCellular. I had to do a lot of reading myself, and piece together information from several different threads to make it work. With the same radio you have I can lock in from 6 to 11 satellites. If you have found all this information I won't bother typing it all in, but if you need it let me know.
Personally, I've tried a couple of different ROMs, but I'm currently just running the USCellular WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5, while I'm anxiously awaiting Shell 3.
Well I am not familiar w/ SPB but I did go on ppcgeeks and searching for "uscc 6900" found what appears to be a good option for me. Would someone mind checking it out?

SPB is a set of applications for use ON your phone (SPB Backup, SPB Keyboard, ETC) SPB is the company name followed by what the app is
As far as the thread, Im hoping and assuming you are referring to NFSFAN 6.5 V6R2 Generic Carrier ROM ... I only ask as I am not going to read through 8 pages of replies to find what your referring to
If it is regarding NFSFAN and the ROM he has to offer, then yes I would suggest trying it, its the ROM I use on my HTC Vogue (Touch) and its been stable, fast and reliable
Detroit Doug
Is there a way to "turn on" the GPS (unlocker first, I understand this) WITHOUT changing the ROM?
I very much enjoy my current setup with ONE exception: no GPS.
I've read a little about QPST and have tried a version of it (its been quite a while) but it doesn't seem to recognize my 6900...
so... basically... 2 questions: 1. can I turn on GPS using only a settings change in QPST, and if so, 2. what version of QPST do I need to do so?
FYI, USCC 6900 6.1 Radio 3.42.30 ROM 3.01.573.4
Thanks in advance
