Ok, I'm a total newbie to this, so please be patient with me. Just spent a few hours searching this site for the info I need, but in the updates section of BA my device is not listed. I basically wish to change the default language to English from German (and I know that this process is listed but I can't find the right download for my device).
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Janeway,
The Extended ROM was designed to be hidden & only used on a hard reset of the Blue Angel, that's why your having problems with the BA utility.
Regards
Ryan
Thank you for your replies.
Managed to get things sorted out the other day - was just a bit tentative at first in case I did some permanent damage to my brand new gadget
Strange isn't it - I have no fears pulling my desktop PC apart and it's worth a lot more than my PDA, but I guess that's down to heaps of hands on practice etc and I know that what I do is reversible (most of the time!).
Thanks again. I've so much to learn and glad that I have found a site like this which can help so much.
Donation will be on its way soon.
Janie.
I was wonder if theres a way that I can get a hold of individual apps. I wanna run a lite rom and just add what Id like. Ive been trying to figure out how to cook roms. If it would be easier to just cook my own. I would appreciate any help there. Thanks alot
look in the wiki for hermes under cab files and you will find most of the programs and tweaks and extras.
Did you bother to search either this site or google?
Distefano's Cab Thread !!!
I did a basic search for cab files on both. I found a lot of stuff I already had.

Thank you you've all been very helpful
Nice sarcasm is much appreciated.
I am running your v23 no opera and just need help with the panels and setting different internet and program links on them. I am fairly new to all this and can't seem to find a way to put new programs on either. I use my dash to get on internet so i got thru about 50 pages but didn't find anything and its real slow. Love your rom its awesome just want to customize and put my favorite stuff in those 2 panels so i can get phone way i want it. any info or links would be greatly appreciated, thanks again for the rom!
Download CHomeConfigurator
It's a couple of threads above this one. Just download that program. It will let you configure your myFaves, internet, anything you want. It is one of the best programs I've seen implemented on these phones. Microsoft would love to get their hands on this little nugget. Trust me, it's really good, and it will do exactly what you want. Posse Out!!

Thanks Man Much Appreciated!
I m sure Microsoft already got their hands on that little nugget.... decompiled it... and made a brand new microsoft branded version. lol
I've decided to cook a rom. Cooking is such a silly word for it though (sorry but I mean really...)
Now here are my questions...
I've downloaded the 6.5 Kitchen that Josh has created. I'm a little fuddled (used to nsis and VB) so its a little odd thinking of things in a new way.
I want to get down in the dirt of the OS. I want to be able to change things at the very core, but there really is no guideline for 'what is what'. Its easy enough to include certain apps, and not others, but what about how windows functions? Where is the explanation of that?
Lets get this rom going. I'm sure its gonna be great. I'm used to creating large community based software projects (see http://www.mediaengine.org). I'm sure I can really get a good one going.
Please post with assistance on rom creation. I've googled and searched here, but I haven't found anything about what I want to learn.
You can change settings in the rgu files, pretty much the entire registry.
As for getting in and editing dll's and exe's, that's something I still need to learn.
Hi, as the title suggests. I'm overwhelmed with all the choices and would like to know where to search/start if I would want to fully customize my Touch HD, I've downloaded the manilla editor so far, and i see a few pages full of icons, themes, clocks etc. new manilla/old manilla, which I'm actually unsure about. I'm currently using the latest official HTC EU Blackstone rom, and am not sure weather it is worthwile upgrading it to something better, any suggestions ?, stabilty is what would be the deciding factor, or do I just just customize the existing 6.1 operating system with pimped out clocks /menus and themes ?, I'd like to be able to open calender and other WM menus without it looking like I'm stepping back in time as far as page layout and presentation, do I need a custom rom for this or is this just done with my existing rom, with a cab file ?. Oh, and is there any chance of me bricking the phone with messing around with these themes or is that just with reflashing the rom ?. I realise that some of these questions may seem obvious though, I'm a total noob at this, not stupid just a first timer. Any help would be much appreciated !!, Thanks in advance !!, Nick.
first, let me say welcome to the forms. like you, we were once in your shoes. my response is probably not what you want to hear, but i will give my opinion/suggestion anyway (thanks for reading).
my suggestion is to educate yourself on the common terms used in the forums (e.g., Manila, CFC, ROM, bootloader), browse/read the links in my signature, read the threads that will help you achieve your goals, read the stickies, ROM threads, etc. the info is there and it will take a while to absorb and understand. it's a bit unrealistic to think that we'll guide you through an entire process via posts to your help request thread. if you're willing to do the homework it will pay benefits (e.g., you'll be able to pimp/customize your device to your desire)!
since you have to start somewhere, pick a feature you want to learn/customize, read the stickies, understand the methods and tools (the first post of each tool thread contains reasonably good instructions), try it, once you've successfully completed the task move to the next subject (e.g., create manila backgrounds & icons and then move to flashing your device). if you run into problems ask for help in an appropriate thread/sticky and you'll likely get a faster response/answer.
in my opinion (and i'm not implying this is your perspective) to do the things you want to do can be overwhelming if you want to do it right now and quick. this my friend is a sure way to get yourself in trouble. if you're patient, you'll get there. members will help where they can.
you should also know that the moderators are trying to reign in the "help me/what's the best ROM/what's the best theme/how do i flash my device" threads that occur on a daily basis. so don't be disappointed if your thread is closed.
good luck and i hope you have fun along the way!

The first limiting/deciding factor on what and how much you can "pimp" your phone, is the rom you are using. You need to check which version you have (if stock it should be wm6.1 and then you also need to know what manila version you have.) To get your manila version, go to the Settings Tab in your manila and at the bottom under About it should show you (again on stock it may only be 1.xx)
You may want to start out with a few simple tweaks, such as adding taskbars and slider icons and a few wallpapers and clocks (most of which you can do via cabs available (these are then uninstallable). There are also some complete themes you can apply (even to stock) Dusk being one of them.
Taking a different slant, Id' probably spend a week flashing lots of different ROMs, to experience what's possible visually/program-wise. Try some 6.1s, some 6.5s, some Manilla 2.1s/2.5s/2.6(soon!) to see which types you favour, and many of the ROMs come with their own backgrounds/taskbars etc. etc.
You might find one that, with a little tweaking, is exactly what you want, or at least you might get some ideas for your own creation.
Good luck!
Hey Thanks !! , just needed a lil steering in the right direction. Will check out the links and have a go, (was just unsure about weather to go down the flash rom path first or change theme or touch flo first). I realised that there was a chance moderators could od deleted post but took the chance
