ok I've just got an mda vario or htc wizard as they seem to be called a lot and theres a few things i'd like to be able to do. I got a bit tired trapseing through a lot of posts and ending up without the result I wanted.
well to start, I'm running the 1.6.2.4os that came already installed.
and here's what I want to do...
1)make sure its completely unlocked, CID ,SIM extended
rom, everything, preferably free and all in one go.
2)improve performance, am I right in thinking omap overclock is a good answer to this? is it free? increase the glyph cache? disable animation on start menu? any other tips
3) customizing, quite a few things,
3.1) I want to make my own phone dialler tried bitmaps in windows directory didn't work so I'm using one of the zphone skins for the moment I could modify that but don't really want it in add/remove programs or that extra directory. is there any way to increase the size of the contact's picture?
3.2) sips, want to customize them. anyone know what dlls to edit (my own assumption there) also I wouldn't mind knowing why buzz lightyears keyboard skins wouldn't work for me.
3.3) today screen, colours are fine, easily done but I want to replace icons/ text, for example, have an icon displaying a missed call which would change appropriately. a easily accesible task manager would be nice there too.
4)the camera. seems to be a bit dark at times, is there a better auto-adjustment or flash driver or whatever for it?
ill, probably add more later, but for now, that'll do. any help is much appreciated, please remember I'm a big cheapskate and so i'd rather do this stuff for free any non-free solutions are also appreciated but please state which. thanks again.
when I'm finished i'll put together a nice little guide for other people to follow and any info I use will be accredited (naturally)
Hi, you better have posted this in the wizard forum.
First you need to super cid unlock see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796 and follow machinegods instructions.
Second intall nicodekker's registry wizard for easy tweaking of cache & animation http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
Third not easy to increase the size of the contact picture - only possible to do with eten dialler see here or buzzdev.net http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
You can change the diallers yourself see my own here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44560&start=125
Buzz's keyboard skins dont work for most devices, hav'nt seen a report on them working on a wizard - waiting on buzz to give us a fix.
Task manager - many people are using magic button free or could try wisbar advance 1 thats free and you can change some of the icons with wisbar. Google for both.
Thanas posted a fix for the camera see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45123
Hope that helps
Please post futher posts in the wizard forum - i dont want to start a wizard thread in this forum
And you'd be better splitting your questions up into 2 or 3 posts as you will tend to get more replies - luckily i was just passing thru this forum.
Welcome to the wizard club!
moving forum
ok, how do I move this to the wizard forum?
Only moderator can do that. You can post any unawnsered questions or partially answered questions in the wizard forum.
So, I upgraded my 8525 to the standard HTC WM6 ROM. It's all GREAT except that when using the hardware slideout keybard the symbols are not on their assigned keys.
I must have a diferent country layout somehow?
I've tried a few of the reg hacks that are suggested but none seem to work. Anyone have a any great ideas?
Thanks in Advance
Cingular has a different keyboard layout than anyother HTC reseller, if you have Schnaps you can change the config in advanced settings (not sure about other cooked roms) or you can use a cab fix (HTC custom will let you change it to). The cab fix is attached to this post.

That is an unbeleivably fast answer! Thanks a lot ... I'll try it now.
Cheers
bricking your device does void your warranty.
unbelievably fast because most of us read for a few hours before flashing... if you do not know what you're doing you can end up with a 600 dollar paperweight ...and wouldn't 8525 be damn cool paperweight!?
even if you flashed other devices (motherboards, dvd drives, ipod...etc.) but never a pda with a cooked rom, 2 hours spent reading would be a minimal amount of time before flashing ...all mattering on what you read, how fast, and how smart, including mastering the "search feature" ... its up to you to know what you want, how to do it, and not how to destroy your device.
...and isn't the fix for the 8525 keyboard fix on here about a gazillion times?
Closing Thread.
To allow it to depreciate instead of becoming a discussion on not reading or searching..
Question asked & answered
i have a cingular 8525 and i installed tnt rom but now the special characters of the hardware keybord are missplased. for example ! should be under letter w but when i press the dot and after the letter w i get @ and some other characters are missplased. does anyone have a solution? i installed something called, 8525 keyboard fix but nothing happend.. thank you
I'm going to answer your Q kinda fast, just don't tell anyone, guys around here don't like answering questions that can be easily found using google.
To the point, You can edit your registry and change it. But the easiest way is installing Schaps Advanced Config. and changing your Keybd. Layout to Cingular/AT&T (or something like that, it's the last option in the list). Current V. of Advanced Config. can be found under the Development subforum.
Good Luck.
thank you very much!
I've been playing around with the Incite a good bit and discovered that M3D works a lot better on it than it did on the Tilt, but there is no WQVGA version of it, so that led me to search around a bit. After a bit of searching, I discovered that there is a version of M2D for the Omnia, and guess what! It works on the Incite too! And this is how to do it.
1. Install the M2D all in one cab file. (make sure you have 20mb in the phone storage and install directly to the phone, NOT the storage card or it will not work)
2. Install the Opera browser cab for the internet tab (works from the storage card)
3. Install the SECcontact cab (this is to view contacts in the contact list)
The only tab that doesn't work is the comm tab. Other than that, the Incite renders the program flawlessly. (no probs with standby, powering off, etc.) Enjoy!
Thanks to:
SztupY for Manila
NFSFAN for Opera
And black-DraGon for SECcontact

Here is a fix for the Comm tab.You will also need the Comm Manager if you don't already have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430468
Thank you very much, well, now we have a fully functional M2D! Another thing is that if you want to use one of the comm managers from that thread, it works just as well.
hi guys, i also have M2D on my incite and works fairly well. im also using the omnia m2d cab. i tried M3D for tilt but didnt work well.
Thats because the the M3D cab is QVGA, the Incite is WQVGA. If someone could port M3D to WQVGA our devices would run it better than the tilt, and not have the same issues.
So now I'm gonna work on some themes for M2D, will be posted them soon!

So that you're not doing unnecessary, modaco.com has a thread with lots of themes modified for the Omnia. Now get back to work on the ROM's!!

well, not everyone here is a member there, so I'll pick the best there, give credit, and post them here. thank you, and I already knew about them.
Is anyone else having the issue where scrolling side-wise through the tabs lags a bit?
It looks like it tries to load whatever tab my finger is over while scrolling ... and it slows down the phone considerably.
Help Please
I have installed the manila 2D and now I am not able to find the FM radio application. I listen to the radio a lot. can some one help me where i can find the FM radio applicaiton.
Thanks in advance.
I'm a noob at this whole thing. Can someone point me in to a step by step tutorial for installing this? (I'm sure i can figure it out if thier isn't one)
And once installed can you switch back to the original UI , and if so, how?
Thanks!
Just read the first post, and install in that order. To disable: start/settings/today/items and uncheck TouchFLO
ok, i have everything working. Thanks!
I have another question though. I installed M2DC in order to install some skins for M2D. The only ones i could find were Omnia skins. When i install them the scroll bar (the one with home, people, ect.) is not at the bottom resulting in about 3/8" of unused screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Those skins are WVGA and your phone is WQVGA, which is why it doesn't display properly. In order to fix it, open M2C and restore original layout and it should fix it.

Magnificent !!!
Worked like a charm.... Stupendous, backspacepc!!
Just some minor questions:
1. How does one change the settings ? Or is this just a skin...
2. How do you move between items on the main screen (bottom)...right now I have to choose each one manually like weather, music etc....Is it possible to scroll with gesture?
Thanks !
LG Incite ROM Flash How to
Hey guys, reading through this, and seems like good stuff, but...after flashing my HTC with unlocking and all that, my question is, how do I initiate this program? Do I have to unlock the Incite first?

I ported the XDANDROID to my T-Mobile model Touch Pro 2 last night and overall I like it.
however, I cannot figure out how to correctly map my slide out keyboard to the correct keys.
I have read several similar posts, but truth be told the lingo is a bit advanced for me.
I also cannot get my touch screen keyboard to open any more. it worked for a bit and then I probably changed a setting and now it doesn work. I tried to figure out what setting I changed and couldn't correct it.
Any ideas or help would be great.
Thanks
Rob
BUMP... Please help
If Froyo: look under your battery, find the RHODxx0 model number (Tmobile might be rhod210, not sure), and then move the appropriate startup.txt file to your root directory from FRX06/Startups/RHOD/
I'm pretty sure if you have the right startup.txt, you'll have the right keyboard mapping.
Also be sure to bookmark this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980079 and refer to it and the threads it links to often. Very helpful.
