I'm so excited that I just ordered my first smartphone. The Touch Pro2 through Telus in Canada. I've been patiently awaiting my contract to expire with Bell to get rid of my Razr.
So since I'm new to this I have lots of questions and I wonder if anyone can recommend where to go to get some basic information to familiarize myself with installing custom ROM's, apps etc. I'm interested in making the most of my phone and I'm pretty good as far as computers go but I don't want to screw up my phone right of the bat so I'd like to learn the basics before I jump right in.
I've also done some searching around these threads to figure out a fix for the fact that the Telus TP2 has no Alt and Ctrl keys. Is there something out there I can instal to convert keys on the keyboard like the mail key etc. to these keys.
Any tips and tricks I need to know with regards to the Telus version? Do all the ROMs work on all the versions?
Thanks!

Well, you've come to the right place. Please read the forum rules, the wiki, and basically all the stickies over here in the Rhodium section. Hope you enjoy your device as most of us do!

Just got rid of my samsung i760 and went to the xv6900. On my 760 I had wm6.1 which was nice with the threaded sms.
I am looking to upgrade however I can't seem to find one decent thing about it. I mean theres tons of hacks for this thing but I am unsure on what unlocker to use and what rom to flash. 6.1 would be nice, rev A, GPS big plus so I can use live search... even tho I just purchased a nice bluetooth gps reciever last month for the 760.
So let me hear your thoughts on what I should be doing.
Heck the 760 had right on samsung site 6.1 download.
If there is a simple 6.1 upgrade that is fine if someone can point me in the right direction that won't be hacking anything for the time being until I can do my research on all this stuff.

You need to search before you post. You wont get replies on generic subjects that you can easily find by doing some research. Folks are great to help if you help yourself first. So do some research here and on ppc geeks.
The phone is the "touch". There are unlockers and aps if you want to deviate from the custom rom. there are clear instructions and the pioneers have worked out many of the bugs. be sure to use the verizon hacks not the sprint ones.
There are also a boatload of aps that work with the std rom.

Hi all,
Please excuse the n00b-ness of the question, but I've been looking around and can't find what I'm after.
I'm lucky enough to have a CDMA Diamond (Vodafone UK) but naturally I'm bored with the stock ROM's. I've tried looking about for CDMA compatible ROM's but I'm drawing a blank.
Can anyone help by pointing me to the right place? I'd like a crack at the Energy-ROM series as they look rather tasty, but alas, from what I can work out - they're GSM only.
Am I being a total muppet or are there very few CDMA ROM's out there?
Cheers ta,
Jipper
Thanks for your help everyone, what you've said has been really helpful.
Thankfully, someone outside XDA has pointed me towards another site. Think I'll take my donations there. Fingers crossed they'll actually answer my posts, even if it is to say "Sorry, we can't help."

I'm sorry I do not have an idea
I was once like you trying to flash my phone but don't have a single idea how to do it lol although mines a gsm phone. (and am still quite a nooby on how to customize my device & etc)
Just try researching more and one day you'll find the right place.
Good Luck!

I just came from a T-Mobile G1 which was rooted. I now have a Dash 3G and am wondering a couple of things. Will the ROMs cooked for the original Dash work with this phone or is there another forum that might be better for me? Also I see that in order to use such ROMs the phone must be application unlocked, is this the same process as the Excalibur. I have searched and found lots of answers to all my questions, that doesnt surprise me as I have experience with XDA and I love this forum. Thank you all and forgive me if I posted in the wrong forum, I am new to this phone and just trying to find my way.

Good Evening all!! My TP2 for sprint is on the way (hopefully tomorrow but possibly monday)! I have been out of the upgrading game for a few years now. I am coming from a mogul and even in the last year I haven't done anything to that because I felt like I have explored everything in the previous few years. Will anyone point me in the direction of some good links? I feel like I am starting all over with this whole process. anyway... where do I begin? I've been looking for stickies for sprint unlocking but it seems even the basic terms are beyond me....PLEASE HELP!!!
Sprint runs on a CDMA network (just like my vzw tp2 is). Our forums are a couple more down:

What are you interested in doing with your device? Did you want to flash a custom rom, skin and theme, or just add some cool programs?
Here is a good starting point for flashing custom roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578660 (CDMA only, do not click this if you are GSM).

Thanks. i hit google last night and didnt go to bed till i found the info i needed. and i came across all of those pages except for the android one.
by the way. are you using a rom? if you are which one are you using and is there another that you recoomend me to use?
Thank you. Hope your next few days are filled with joy. God Bless.
Well generally what say is what most will say, after you have used the Hard sPL unlocker, i would recommend a simple Rom that has been stripped of all the bloat ware, to get a feel for the speed and responsiveness , then after you get bored with it, then try the other Roms that the fine chef have cooked.
Here is what i have been using, its simple and fast

Kwbr is getting ready to update the Rom shortly with a newer version.
thanks i was getting stuff ready for when i my parents got me my phone this chirstmas. turns out the got me a unlocked HD2. so im guessing it works the same, since they both run windows 6.5 right?
I would head over to the HD forum and start reading, some may be the same but there will be differences ...i would still set up both phones with stock stripped Roms and compare them both...i still favor the Tilt 2 Pro... because of the keyboard

Read this thread then decide....tilt 2 has 3g the HD2 uses edge..
