Iulian has it in the Core kitchen. I tried it and it seemed to work, but I don't have BB service to test it out.
I'm running the modified for bbconnect/goodlink BlackMajik with bbconnect 4.0.0.67. It's been working fine for the past 2 weeks or so.

I too am running this and it seems to work pretty well. Does anyone know how or what it is going to take to get bbconnect running on the latest builds. I know something to do with hex editing or some such black magic! I'd really like to see someone make an idiot proof bb connect of vp3g's upcoming 3.0 release...
Me too.....

Works fine on my 8525. I synch email, appointments, and contacts. I'm not sure if it's the latest Black ROM's, the newer radios, or increased BB synchronization (at 3G), but my battery is barely lasting the day.
There are details on the universal forums about hacking the Hex values in order to get the version numbers to change.

I have just loaded the official Dopod release 5.2.1437 (17944.0.3.1) but finding an changing the version numbers is at the edge of my understanding. I'm willing to give it a go but I am not keen to brick my jasjam.
Anyone want to provide some pointers?

all of the above :-( 8 - 10 hours max. disable 3G - start - settings - phone -gsm. will last for 24+ hours. BB have to stay connected 24x7. breaks all other connections unless u suspend bbc.
I can confirm that running BBC4.0 w WM5 and UMTS I only get about 36hrs from the battery. Less if I use the phone for calls alot.
But I would still appreciate anyone that could take the CustomRUU ROM and hack the version number back.
So would all the BBC users I suspect!

Ayup. Don't care about the battery life. Somewhere in those 36 hours I sleep and plug the phone in....
Elf's Latest ROM also has a Blackberry Connect version I have been using for the past few weeks with hardly any issues. Of course there is the need to suspend services to do more network related media things, as mentioned above, but I have been prompted to suspend Bb Services while using it and when done the service eventually restarts.
I've also found that using the Blackberry Browser works better than IE. It's one of the benefits of Bb Connect 4
Can you provide a link to 'Elf's latest ROM'. Sorry to sound n00bish but I am seeing ROMs posted under the various names but ppl refer to them via a wide and varied assortment of pseudonyms.

what about the good news you mentioned ? was that a temp black out / wrong device ? So should I hex the new Dopod/ATT to 5.2.1238 Build 17745.0.2.3 ? TIA
OK guys, here's my ten bobs worth.
Have tried BBC 4 on all of the recent black ROMS (that have the Hex edit hack) and whilst it works well, I also see the battery drain issue. Also noticed that as soon as I installed BBC4, the performance was s-l-o-w-e-r until I ran something (e.g. settings and then tabbed personal-systems-connection, etc.). Put another way, the Hermes lost it's responsiveness and only seemed to pick it up a little through use.
Just recently stuck BBC4 and then reverted back to 2 on vp3G's WM6 v3.0 ROM (BBC hacked) and the difference is massive. the responsiveness is back and I don't have the pain in the ar$e security settings. Maybe someone much more technical can shed some light on this - all I know is V4 is ****e and V2 flies
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that battery life on the TP2 is $hite after upgrading from WM6.1 to 6.5?
Using 6.1, I used to have Phone, Bluetooth and WiFi on all day at work, and get home and still have 60% batttery left.
Now, I have to turn off Bluetooth when it's not in use, and WiFi, and will be lucky to get home with more than 30% left.
Battery or unit hasn't been damaged or anything, and the only change was flashing the new WWE ROM through it.
I noticed an decrease in battery life too. That, the high memory usage, and the general feeling that the 6.5 ROM isn't as stable as the 6.1 ROM has made me flash back to WM6.1.
yup, same here.
Battery is dropping much faster, as well as higher mem usage.
Also the information tab of the power icon constantly says not applicable even though I have fully charged the unit numerous time already.
Yes, bettery life on my handset has been reduced. I've disabled all the push internet and removed a couple of the touch flo tabs to see if this will help. I think the new weather panel could be contributing.
i had the same not applicable issue, but yesterday i used the phone until battery was less than 10% and then charged it fully. now it's ok
Flashing back to 6.1?
Can you actually flash back to version 6.1? I thought that the upgrader wouldn't let you go back a version?
I do have the original HTC 6.1 ROM file and would do it, but I don't want to completely brick the unit.
The batttery info tab does the same on mine... so that's no good.
I've turned off all the push functions and the program quick-start cache and, at first, my memory availaibilty nearly doubled. However, it won't get back to those levels, even after a soft reset. I've tried Pocket Mechanic to clean out redundant RAM, dead process threads the lot... no joy.
There's other bugs too... when you rearrange the folders using Resco Explorer to drop them into logical Start Menu group folders, some still appear in the wrong group, even though they don't show in the directory listing... and that's WITH 'show hidden files' option to 'on'. e.g. HTC People icon, and Microsoft Mobile Online which stays on the main menu wherever you move it... it seems to make a copy of itself.
It's an odd little app anyway, as my online MS Live account doesn't show any activity to do with my mobile... so where my txt message backup has actually gone is anyone's guess?
I think overall, with HTC withdrawing the ROM from their own website, it's fair to say it's nowhere ready and far too buggy... and they are obviously not happy with it going out to public release.
If I can flash it back safely, then I'll do it.

Is there anyone on here that knows a secret location for the original HTC European WWE HTC 6.1 ROM? Signature panel shows what I had before.
I've tried a search and can only find cooked ones.

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for? It's version 1.19.401.1, but version .0 is also at the repository link below if you need it. I presume this is the full ROM.....
The roms can be found located at the XDA ROMS repository.
I hope it is okay to link from here?
I don't know about downgrading, sorry - i'm sure someone with more experience can help though.

I think you can only downgrade if you have hardspl on your phone.

Nope, I upgraded from the stock WM6.1 to WM6.5, and then "downgraded" to WM6.1 again using the RUU from HTC; no HardSPL involved there.
Hi installed Android 2.0.1 on my Fuze
Issues Found
- Consumes 4 times battery than windows
- When we put screen off, the round bottom light keeps blinking(Same as when we charge in windows)
- No option to switch off
- No option to go back or close a window from touch screen
- After some hours phone hangs up you need to remove battery to restart windows.
Pros
- Amazing graphics
- Very fast as compared to windows 6.1
Question
- Now to remove this should I just the android related files from Sd card, nothing needs to be removed from phone memory am I right ?
But I wish I could install a better working version of Android on my Fuze because despite of all bugs I am loving it

Well of course this has many bugs cuz this is not a native android device, also u should credit the develepors for their hard work this isnt really easy at all, also over the past months it has been improving greatly, and since u want to remove android from ur phone unfortunatley, all u must do is remove the android realated files like haret or android apps.

- People get 15 hours + of battery, so considering that it is a work in progress, that's very good.
- The light is a debugging thing, it means that your phone is in deep sleep (that's good) it's a LED light and barely makes any difference on battery life and you CAN turn it off if you want to, read the main thread.
- No, no such option for now, but as i said it's a work in progress for now.
- That's not even related to the port, that's just how Android is.
- No need to remove the battery, you can just press the reset hole.
- Yes, just the files from the SD card, nothing is saved on the phone's memory.
Why don't you learn to read a thread before installing a non native OS onto a phone. All the points you brought up were or are bugs that are known. If you don't like it get it off your phone and be done with it. No need to start another thread only to rehash what is already known.

I am in the same boat with you. I just keep updating it. It used to be pretty good Battery and stuff but the newer updates just aren't as efficient. I'll keep updating mine untill I get the money to just buy the damn NEXUS ONE since now they have an AT&T version that supports 3G
The original threads warned that Android on your WinMo device is merely proof of concept and experiment and was in no way meant to replace WinMo as your full time operating system on your device. I think the developers have made fantastic strides in the performance of Android on the FUZE given that they have managed to put an OS on a device that does not support it with neither hardware or software. And maybe it's just me, but if you have the right ROM WinMo 6.1 can be pretty fast (I haven't had such luck with WinMo 6.5, but I like 6.1 anyway)
Android has worse battery life than WinMo. I tried both Android devices on Sprint and even Android 1.5 is a hog. My neighbor just purchased the latest Android device Verizon released on Thursday and he is complaining of charging at 3PM everyday.
I've read all the threads and come to release Android on our devices is merely experimental. If you think its going to work flawlessly then you're not that bright. If I really need an Android device then I'll buy one. In fact I may try the EVO under the 30 day trial just for fun. I am interested in 720p / HDMI video recording, video call and other new features.
For everyone reading this post you know this guy only joined to complain or discurruge people from using it. Member with only 1 post trying to review software that was neer made to run on a specific hardware. Only a idiot would consider his words useful. Basically all he did was complain so that he could ask a question and get people to answer him without searching.
Hi!
I've started to use a DIAM100 approx. 1 year ago. I've tried a lot of ROMs with it, and I think that the MEMO ROM provides the most functionalities/services, without too much speed slowdown, so I'm using it for every day usage, but I have to say:
Windows Mobile provides a lot of functionalities, but:
it's a little slow
it's GUI is a little ugly
it has a lot of apps, and I'm happy with most of them, but there are dozens of apps, that aren't usable, or they are very slow, or/and haves ugly GUI.
(If I use internet on my device, or write emails on it, [in brief: if the screen's backlight is on & I touch the screen a lot] the battery drains fast... Is this only my problem? Do I have to buy new batteries?)
(If I use GPS without car recharger, the battery drains fast... Is this only my problem?)
So I would be happy to move to Android (maybe iPhone but it has a lot of limitations... does Android have limitations?). I like my device, and it's a cheap one, so if I don't have to, then I don't want to buy a new one, so I tried a lot of Android builds...
I think that everybody knows what's the problem with them:
The battery life is short with them
Camera isn't working with them
A variety of other problems...
I have read dozens of forums, researched the internet a lot in that topic, but I have some questions:
Where can I follow the development process of the Android porting to HTC?
If the battery draining problem would be solved i would use my current device for every day use with Android. What do you think: Approximately when this can be done?
Is there any current Android build for a DIAM100, that can be used for every day usage? (I want to use mobile internet and push sync, and listen to some music with my headset... If these are working with any build for one day, than it's OK. (If I use Windows Mobile and do these things, than my mobile can hold the battery power only for one day... I have to recharge daily... If I only enable the push sync, and make some calls, than it can hold for ~2 days.))
I'm a programmer, and I would be happy if I could take a part in the porting work... How can I participate? There are some opportuinities that I found, but what do you think, what is the best?
What do you think? Should I wait for the porting to be done, or buy a new, Android based device?
(If the build that meets my requirements, and can run some 3D games too, and can use the G-Sensor, than I would be very happy I have a HTC Hero now for only some days, and I have to say, that it's very cool...)
Thanks for any answer in advance!
Android is like windows mobile,you can customize how you want

Hi,
shame on me- at first: pleace be patient with me. I dont want anyone make my work. Its just that my native language is german and I dont understand a few things. So please help me to find the correct tutorials and give me some tips.
i own an HTC Touch pro 2, bought at an O2 store in Germany, using with t-mobile and an limited dataplan (200 mb, HSDPA, 3G and stuff) S/n: HT98ELLXXXXX (Detail per private message if neccasarry)
Actual ROM Version: 1.89.207.2 (69719) GER
ROM avaible (i already have downloaded following ROMs)
_HTC Touch Pro2_RUU_Rhodium_S2_O2_DE_2.07.207.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship downloaded from HTC.com
RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship (Downloaded as written in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571892&highlight=WP7
Now i need to download the DeepShining X10.23135 - but i dont know if com2 or com3 ?!
I dont need my phone to be in german but if possible it would be ok. i saw in the FAQ, that changing the language could cause crashes. thats ok, i guess my english would be good enough.
so here the questions in numeric order as i need them:
1: Do i need to download the com3 or the com2 version? or is that depending on what i want? What i want is a stable System, a good battery life and a good menue-control.
2: Do i need to flash the original O2 Version i downloaded first or can I just start with step 2 of the description in the DeepShining Post?
3: Following sentences i dont understand exactly: IF YOU HAVE A CDMA DEVICE THEN GO *HERE* FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO HARDSPL and *FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS*
What is an CDMA Device and what is HARDSPL?
If i follow the steps in deepshine thread- how dangerous would it be to flash my phone? its my only one and i need it very much. But at this time it often crashes on incoming calls and in many other situations.
Again: Please be patient. its all about my language. I just dont know what to look for using search engines or the built in search of this forum. You can help me step by step or just give me the correct posts and threads wich have already been written here. I just want to be absolutly sure, i will not kill my phone. I am an advaced PC User and i have some experiences in flashing other phones, so i know there always is an risk, but i want it as low as possible.
Thanks for your help folks.
sincerly, Alexander, Bochum Germany
CDMA is a type of network, used by some carriers in the US, and a few other countries. Germany is GSM, so no need to worry about CDMA stuff.
You MUST run HardSPL if you want to flash a custom ROM. HardSPL unlocks the SPL on your phone, which allows you to flash custom ROMs. Without running HardSPL, your phone will only allow you to flash "official" or "stock" ROMs released by your cell carrier.
Your phone is GSM, so use the HardSPL posted here:

As for more specific questions about the DeepShining ROMs, you should post your question on the thread for that ROM, and somebody will likely respond pretty quickly. I don't use DeepShining, so I can't help you with specific questions about that ROM, unfortunately.
Cool- thank you. Well- what do you use? any suggestions wich ROMs are useful? Most stable, good battery life, unsigned apps, daily use of internet by phone but only for services wich dont need highspeed like a messaging-program like IM+ or palringi- thats how i use my phone.
I use the Energy ROM. Its one of the most popular, and most frequently updated ROMs. It tends a bit on the eye-candy/appearance side, and has a decent number of cooked-in apps, but is still pretty fast, and I've found it to be very stable. But I've heard good things about DeepShining, and some people on here prefer it to Energy. I think DeepShining is a bit more "lightweight" and faster, but it all depends on what you are looking for in a ROM.

Coincidentally, NRG is today in the process of uploading the latest versions of his ROM. This release is the first time he is including languages other than English, and German is on top of the list. Don't think the other language versions are up yet, but they should be soon. The thread still says Sept. 8, but the new release is Sept. 13 and 14 (it usually takes him a bit to change the date and update the Change Log).
Uhm- now i am really confused. it sounds great, it looks great, but i cant find the download link of the latest version. there is so much with cookie, max sense and all these stuff.
The GUI in post #3 looks pretty good. so waht did you download? I am really so sorry for an question this dumb Its just the language barrier as i said, hehe.
another noob question now that you help me that good if i dont like it after patching, can i just install another rom of the 3 energy roms? right now i am downloading the actual 24634 of DinikGlass but i guess i will also try the cookie energy one
and do i need to install any other rom first before flashing the energy rom?

The Cookie versions include the Cookie Home Tab and CHT Editor (user made mods), which gives you great customization options for the Sense Home Tab. It does use up a good amount of program memory and may slow your phone a bit, so some people don't like it. But I really like it. The GTX and Dinik are just different themes (colors, icons, etc.) of what is basically the same ROM.
Standard Energy includes Sense, but not Cookies Home Tab. Standard Reference is close to stock, but really stripped down of apps, bloatware. Titanium is without Sense, so really stripped down and fast.
MaxSense is a user made mod that is similar to Android version of Sense. The home tab is 3 screens wide, and you can swipe side to side between the 3 screens, add widget similar to Android. I tried this for a while, and it has some cool features, but I didn't like how the taskbar in the home tab (special MaxSense taskbar) was different from everywhere else (other tabs, while apps are open, etc.).
I am using the Cookie GTX-themed version, mostly because I like the aesthetics of the GTX (white colored) theme, and I like the Cookie mod. I've mostly been using the Cookie GTX-themed version for several months now (updating to the newest release every month or 2, in general).
If you click the download link, and the latest release (Sept. 13/14) of your preferred version is not there yet, just be patient, and it will be there soon. If you want to try the German version, I assume those will be appropriately named with "German" in the file name.
Hope that helps, good luck!
i will give it a try. first i will check the cookie version of the last 23138 release sept. 13th. well... hope that works fine. if not i can change it anytime to a different rom, correct? i will let you know if i git it or not. the hard-spl alreadyx is working.
so thanks again for your help. talk to you later.
It is amazing. the installation was simple- to set up is simple too and it looks great. ok- it seems to be a little slow, but i can live with that i guess. great stuff - perfect work.

If you don't like one of the Energy ROMs, you can just flash a new one. But I always run Task29 before flashing a new ROM. Task29 wipes/formats the phones memory, to make sure that no fragments of the old ROM remain to cause bugs with the new ROM. This has been known to solve some random bugs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
The Energy ROM does not require flashing the stock ROM, before flashing the Energy ROM. I've flashed different versions of Energy maybe 5-6 times without flashing the stock first, with no issues. But it seems that DeepShining requires flashing the stock ROM first (or at least strongly recommends it). I think this can be ROM specific, so follow the instructions given for the ROM you are flashing.
Thanks man, pretty good help. Especially the Task29 thing becaUSE I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THIS COULD MEAN ,9 WELL- I FLASHED THE ENERGY COOKIE WITHOUT DOING THAT AND IT WORKED BUT IT SEEMS TO NEED MUCH POWER AND ITS A LIL SLOW SO I WILL REFLASH THE SAME ROM WITH FORMATTING BEFORE: WELL; ENERGY IS SO DAMNED GREAT:
ups- didnt want to shout
so, back 2 topic. the rom is really great. much good functions and tools and very nice look. i guess i would try the white one too.
thanks again. now i am fit to do it.
It takes a while for the new ROM to settle in. So the immediate performance is not a good indicator of how fast/smooth the ROM will be. Let it run for an hour or so. Also, immediately after a flash, I hard reset, just to make sure you are starting clean. Some instructions for flashing say to do this, while some others don't. But it really can't hurt anything, and it might help.
Also, the battery meter is not very accurate whenever your flash or hard reset. So the battery life you are reading is not true. You need to "re-calibrate" the battery meter by charging to 100% (let it stay on the charger for a while to make sure the battery is really full) then run it down to 0%, until it shuts off automatically. Do this at least once of twice. Then your battery meter will be calibrated to what "full" and "empty" actually mean (battery voltage).
Also, turn down your backlight. It really drains the battery when at the "automatic" setting and 100% brightness. In the "Settings" tab, do to "Sound & Display", select Backlight, uncheck "Automatically adjust backlight". Then turn down the Brightness to your preferred setting. I find 60% to be very readable, but significantly increases battery life.
There are tons of other tricks to increase battery lift and speed, so play around.

Very, very bad idea. In deed, it does recalibrate the battery, but it also reduces it's life cycles. I wouldn't recommend discharging the battery under 20%.

I've read that draining the battery may cause it to not take a charge (particularly over USB), but I haven't heard that it reduces life cycles. If you can explain a bit more, it would be appreciated.
EDIT: After poking around some, I've found a couple tidbits:
Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery.
If possible, do not discharge lithium-based batteries too deeply. Instead, recharge more often.
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
So probably a good idea to follow Jacko's advice. I would think that charging full, then drain to 20% is okay in order to calibrate the battery meter.
Thanks for the tip, Jacko.
Hey folks,
thanks for the tips. The most of them i already did i am not new to mobile phones and custom operating systems, just new to custom wm roms. Well, in fact this battery thing about not to discharge it totally is a pretty good tip. i alway thought contrary to that.
good to know. well, today, after i have charged it to 100% it seems to be ok. same good than before and thats ok. in fact i need a new battery one time i guess. so the result:
i will stay with this rom. first try : match! it is so great, i cant believe it. the original roms o2 deliveres are pretty old and uncomftable. well- the german are. if its the same everywhere i dont know. i love it and my english is good enough.
the only problem i didnt solve right now: the hardware keyboard have the wrong layout- its english and so the @ for example is not where it should be. i didnt find the correct section in system settings. any suggestions?
well- anyway: thanks for your help.
EDIT: One thing left beside the keyboard thing: I have an stereo bluetooth headset, it can pair and connect the handsfree connection but there is no way to connect in stereo mode. is there a setting anywhere to authorize that ? it seems i am missing something

You have to change the following Registry entry from:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt"
to:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt"
Hope, that this would help you!

another noob question- i was looking for why to upgrade the radio version. didnt find an answer i couldnt understand.
any suggestions if i should and what radio rom i should use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
Version: 4.49.25.88 (HTC, T-Mobile) or maybe Version: 4.49.25.91 ?! i am a little confused about that. thanks for your help- and again: sorry for that dumb questions

Honestly, I think the whole finding the right radio for a particular ROM is that of trial and error. I know most chefs will suggest a particular radio that will work well with their ROMs.
I would stick with the most up to date radio, but if you get symptoms like the mic stops working (they can't hear you, but you hear them), or GPS/WiFi doesn't work, then change to another carrier friendly radio ( I don't know what works on O2 being in the US) or back to a known working stock radio.
Hope this helps.
