Extended Rom unlock and Intent cab??

Has anyone been able to figure out how to unlock teh extended rom on the Dash (actually more specifically the s620/excalibur)?
The reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a cab for the intent midlet manager. I'm curious to see if it handles the high mem version of opera mini better than teh default esmertec one does. I'm not patient enough to wait for their "fix" I guess
TIA

there isn't an extended ROM in the smartphone OS.
*BUT*
The high memory version of Opera mini works great on my Dash running the S620 OS.

sweet. does that mean you wanna trade!!
apparently the problem is in the midlet mgr tmo usa bundled, hence the request for intent.
thanks tho

Why don't you just install the HTC ROM?

re-read my post. I own a Dash and loaded the s620 FW on it. Best think I ever did.
ANYTHING to get rid of XT9!!!!

Ah I missed that part. I received teh reply notification while I was in the car. Typed teh reply at a red light
I've debated bewteen installing it or not. Here's my reasons why not:
1) I'm cheap. I don't know if I wanna spend the $40 to unlock.
2) This is the first smartphone I've bought from tmo. I'm still nervous about voiding any warranty. I need to research a bit about being able to either reflash to the stock tmo rom or backing up my rom to a microSD like I did with teh MDA, as well as being able to CID lock my phone again just incase I have problems.
3) I'm coming from an MDA that I've flashed probably 15 different times. Its a slippery slope to Phone geekdom once I start.
We'll see what happens, thanks for the tips tho. (Eliminating xT9 would be nice though...

Reasons to unlock your phone and flash the s620 ROM on it...
1. the original T-Mobile ROM is available so you could always go back.
2. I'd pay T-Mobile 40 bucks if they'd tell me how to at least turn XT9 off permanently!
3. I hate carrier branding.
4. You'll get that good java client you want
5. You know you want to
6. You'll be able to use *ANY* ROM that comes out in the future.

My understnding is the HTC ROM doesnt support teh push and hold feature to get teh alt of each key?? I've really gotten used to that now.

that is correct, no push and hold. The only other thing that is wierd in the s620 ROM is when you're surfing a mobile webpage where you can hit a number for an option instead of highlighting and selecting it, it doesn't work. Typing 7 to delete your hotmail works on the T-Mobile ROM but not the s620 ROM. No idea why.
*BUT*
That XT9 irritated me SO much, I don't care what I lose. Losing XT9 is the best feature of this ROM and my main motivation for doing it. Also, you get the native JOGGR functionality back (which is a little buggy and slower than using the D-PAD but I digress).
It is a very solid ROM and the Intent Java client is a nice bonus.

can you confirm this that no such extended rom on smartphones

yup. There is no extended ROM on Smartphones but POF can probably answer better than anyone.
I'm saying there isn't... But I've been wrong before.
-Mc

i think you are!
there is other smartphone with extended roms and to clarify to those who do not know what extended rom is ,when its visible on your device it is a folder with all the applications and carrier settings in it ,that when you hard reset your device they are installed,and one thing is to find how to make it visible with file explorer and another is to unlock it to be able to copy the files some where else ,!!!

Opera Mobile 8.65 on WM6.1?

So, I have the Kavana/Rickys v23 of WM 6.1.
I tried to install/use Opera mobile 8.65 on it, but none of the buttons/inputs functioned properly.
I know it has Opera Mini pre-installed, but it doesn't even work properly and I really prefer to use Opera Mobile as I hate IE.
Anyone else had this problem? Know a way to make it work properly?
Thanks!

Do you have the correct keymap when you write a text?
Why doesn't Mini work?

I apparently don't have the proper keymap, even for Opera Mini. When I try to type letters, all I get are symbols, etc.
How can I correct the keymap?

Ok, well for whatever reason, I upgraded to the latest Opera Mini, and it's working now. Also tried re-installing Opera Mobile and it's working as well. *shrug*. Probably user error =)

Hey Stylez, maybe you can help me out on this....running NRG's new ROM and just started running Opera Mini 4.1 on it....made sure to download the correct version for the phone but it's not reading the keypad correctly...it's reading it as if this is a standard phone keypad (IE 6=mno). I know there was a fix for this way back when but I'm struggling trying to find it with it by searching.
keymap works correctly for everything else on phone. Any ideas?

For anyone that runs into this same issue. Go to settings and disable the check box for auto-complete address input. For some reason, it limits your address input to only using the numerical keypad for numbers. Uncheck it and your address input will function with full use of the dash keyboard. Go figure.

This is an old problem as far as I know. I remember having to do that everytime I installed Opera Mini, even on Kavana's old ROM...

Ok, have one other hopefully quick question.
I upgraded to opera mini 4.1, but when I press the t-zones button it still points to the old version 4.
How can I change where the t-zones button points to, so it opens the new version of Opera Mini.

opera mini
I'm having a problem with opera mini. I'm running rickwatts v24 no opera. After changing cprs, dll, and ttfs, decided to try opera mini 'cause I hear alot of people love it and prefer it over anything else.
I downloaded 4.1 from their website and installed it, now here's the problem.
My custom font is being used by the opera mini displaying everything on it, making it unreadable. I tried using the original cpr but even after the homescreen goes back to original, the opera mini still comes up with the altered font. I uninstalled it ,and reinstalled it and no difference.

3 (Three) UK Diamond ROM?

If such a ROM exists, i would like to use it to brand my phone to 3 to get the free skype calls, is there such a ROM?

what do you mean to get free skype calls?
You would still have to be on the 3 network.

i know. but my current diamond is orange-branded.
i have got hardspl on it, and its unlocked, but i would like the free skype calls as i said, so i would just need the branded ROM as well as a 3 sim.

http://www.htc.com/au/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=451&news_id=24
does anyone know if that ROM has skype on it? also can someone give me the serial number of a 3 Australian HTC Diamond, as the page is asking for it in order to download?

Why not just download the Skype app?
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/windowsmobile/

if it was that easy, dont you think i would have done it by now???
to use the free calls offer, you have to use the 3 skype software, not the usual version.

Sorry but perhaps you should be clearer next time about what you need and why.
You actually don't need a rom you need the software. You might be better off putting this in the general hacking section as I am sure all you need to do is get it from a WinMo based device. Not specifically a diamond.

Hi all,perhaps you may help out here.I have an HTC touch diamond and I'm in South Africa.
Now,I want to flash my rom as well to escape all the problems that are ROM related.I came across this rom:1.94.421.2 wwe,has anyone tried it and saw it is any good for a South African based HTC Diamond p3700.
Thanx

you do actually need to download the 3 skype software, they don't let the normal skype software use the free calls things
http://www.three.co.uk/Internet_Services/Call_chat/Call_chat_service?content_aid=1220455597804
the only way to get the 3 skype software at the moment is to either buy a 3 skype phone, or use a ROM that has the software on it already. i also have a kaiser which i have heard has an official UK 3 rom, but don't use it as my primary phone.
3 have said they will be enabling all 3g phones to use their own version skype software later this year though, but i want to start using it now.

nice idea along with me being on 3 - ive scanned plenty and cant seem to find anything
keep reverting back to the Sony if i need it but sim swopping is a nightmare
bookemarked just incase anything comes up

Iskoot is the skype client 3 uses. Works perfectly for me

When I had my n95 on three to get the skype app all I did was go to planet3 on the phone and download skype on that. Im sure that could be done with windows mobile

Yeah it works for the free calls. I left it running on a skype call for half an hour and my voice minutes remained the same.
I'm not sure if there's a 3 windows live messenger for windows mobile. Someone got a java version working but it's a little low res for the diamond. Works great nonetheless.

Thats strange, maybe it could be down to the rom youre using. Ive tried it on several roms and it worked fine.
The only thing I do is change BackupHost, CallURL, DefaultSKHost and BaseURL to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948, and run the program. That guide doesnt tell you to change 'BaseURL' which could be the problem. Do you change the phone number in the registry or anything else?

i tried it on the reconstructed 3 rom which was probably a bad idea, as the rom is a bit old now. i did change all those values to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948
i didnt change the phone number though, am i supposed to?
anyway i am off sick from work, so gonna try out a few different roms
annoying thing is, it did actually work. but when i exited, it just reverted the settings back to the defaults.
btw, which roms have u tried it on?
edit: yesssss, got it working again, using shifus latest rom.

Thats great that its working now. The link I provided had a different number to the one that came up in my registry so I think 3 changed it, therefore it wouldve been a bad idea to change the number in your registry.
I tried it on Nataly 2.4, Shaks 4.20 and several Energyroms. I think some roms revert the registry back to default after soft resets.

just as an aside, i recently bought a skypephone (S2), this is before i found out i could use iskoot on any WM6 phone.
the version on the S2 is 2.9.18. it doesn't appear to be a java app, but the voice quality is a lot lower than what i get on Windows XP Skype.
is the latest WM Iskoot version the 1.1 version? has anyone tried signing up through their form to see if they have updated it at all? i might give that a try...
3 have stated on their website that they will soon make the skype software available to all 3g users. i'm guessing they are going to do this using java, as how else would they be able to support the myriad phones OSes out there?
edit: looks like 1.1 is the latest....

ShapeWriter WVGA a Swype like gesture Keyboard!!

ShapeWriter is a new type of Keyboard for Touchscreen devices it is very similar to Swype!
I added a link to the an ShapeWriter Android demo on YouTube!
It is the same on Windows Mobile but i didn't found a video!
It works very well for me and it is a fast way for texting on your
Phone!!

Here is also a link to a Swype video which is not released right now.

It won't crash your phone... If you don't like it just uninstall it!
knight900 is absolutely right it works best with long text such as
emails, notes and SMS it very fast if you pratice a little! You
don't need to use your stylus, and you don't have to be very accurate!!

woooooow...... wtf. .... is it actually easy to use? cause from the vids it looks easy, but when its in ur hand seems like itll be complicated!??

It works also in Opera but it's not very useful for url input. You have just

It wasn't actually a real link ...

When I heard about Swype I was looking for something alike and stumbled upon this gem. It is by far the utmost brilliant keyboard for me yet. Thanks heaps for that.
Is there any chance of further development? I'd love to see this keyboard with german umlauts in order to make full use of it
Thanks again,

Opera Mini 5 Beta - ideas?

I downloaded Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 today. It seems that they have managed to fix the keyboard buttons - at least. But I can't click to accept the licence.
Has anyone got it running yet?

Already been discussed. You can't get past the EULA screen so it is unusable. Use Skyfire or UCWEB6 instead, they're better browsers anyway.

I downloaded it today and it worked for me, directly from my mobile.
As for the keyboard it still got issues (half of th keyboard section works fine and the other half works strange) but it's good for reading.
Still doesn't support flash videos.
(sorry for my bad english)
