Hello,
I keep seeing in these forums many threads regarding ROMs. I know what they are but my question is...why should I mess with it. I have an HTC Touch GSM with WM6. Now if you tell me I can get the interface in general to be quicker and the wifi to connect sooner, then i'm sold.
Cheers,
Paul

youll be very suprised at how much of a difference it makes to flash your phone with a rom itll make it faster due to the applications that u dont use water down ur programming memory and that can be released and run faster with them gone ...just look around and find one that fits ur use..promise u will be happy...just one thing to remember ..Read he insructions carefully and dont be scared to ask any questions ..have fun
Perfection,
I guess so, sound logical. What would be the best ROM for the HTC Touch GSM, I've always felt that the phone is a little hesistant, and I've done the best that i've could in stoping animations, sounds and some registry hacks. I mostly use the Office Suite, Messenger, Skype and Netfront Browser. Then on trips the mp3 player and cameras.
Just in case I have a whole assortment of 3rd party software like: Pocket CM, PCM Keyboard, SIP Change and SPB Mobile Shell, in case it's neccessary to know.
Also, how does one go abouts installing this, i have both Mac and PC, so as you said i'm not scared of asking or trying things out, my Treo 650 I've dont a hell a lot to it, and it still runs good, but the HTC is it's replacement.
Cheers,
Paul

Well i my self have a herald or atlas >>or normal people call it the t-mobile wing so i wouldnt know exactly which one is the best
for that model but i have done alot od flashing and u always need to just post a question to the senoir members they know alot of the info and work arounds.....I promise they will make a difference ..send them private message its faster..and if ur phone is a
touch then go to the forums that show the names >>> Vogue or the Elf just look at them to see whihc one looks like urs...speak or ask the question for better programming speed to on of the senoir members it should show if they are seniors under there names.
Will do, thanks again Perfection3.
I did create a post..asking if anyone had started work on this...
Got not one reply...
Seeing as i have them both.. x1 and HD..
So.. i thought.... Lets have a go....
Proof of concept only.....not a distributable version.
Sony Xperia X1 Panels.....Running on Touch HD
It's got a long way to go and lots of work needed... but it should
end up a very good addition to the Touch HD, and once done, work can commence on porting to different resolutions.
I like the look of this front end alot better than the TF3D
What do you guys reckon?
THERE IS NO CAB. ASK AT YOUR PERIL!
Anyone asking for it, will be flogged, tarred, feathered and called a leper!

There has been advances but very slow ones, It has been very "finiky" getting those "right changes" to commit more "stability changes"
It is because the HD was never meant to host Panels, and thus, is causing me a real pain in the backside! I'm currently looking at different roms, and versions of software, to try alternate file versions, to see if a combination is what is needed. Once this part is done, it should address a great deal of issues. Upto about 3 Hard resets a night, I think i should have a special button to do it on the back!
03/12/2008
It has been brought to my attention, there is a Cab available on another thread, but i have no input on this.
It is at the same point i was about a month ago.
It is a simple copy and paste from a X1 and is unstable.
I did not put out a version like this, as It requires your phone be reset after running panels after about 5 times, and i am aware why.
I thought It would be unfair to users to give them something that would pretty much trash the stability of the HD.
You know where it is if you do not care about this, and just want to install it.
I will not be putting out my version till i know atleast it will not trash your phone. That would subtract from the work done, and after some of us spending 500GBP+ the last thing needed is a paperweight.

With the help of 'Keni'.. a new junior member... He has helped move us along also.. and produced...
The Panel icon on the titlebar.
It does need work.. and for it to function i need help again from nelshh
But he has no-doubt spent alot of time.. and got some code done.
I have to commend his effort.. and now wish to happily add him to the contributer list along with nelshh
See post 304 for pic and wmv
Thanks keni !
I am still working on te next alpha build and am struggling with the concurrence manager.
After using panels chooser anywhere from 5-10 times.. it egg timers out.. and batt out is the only recourse.
The testing on one of my HD's is now at a point.. it is a daily reset at minimum,,, but i'll carry on.
27/11/08
This has been such a painful last few days.... I have had unknown numbers of hard-resets trying to get the failing panels to operate properly.
2 developers are currently trying to help create the panel icon (see post 104) If anyone else can help aaswell...????
At the moment.. it's still doign my head in... but i am still working on this..
Those of you who have made donations.. and the kind words.. I am very grateful... and the bottle of White Zinfandel has been bought.. and shall be devoured tomorrow by her.!
I know alot of you guys are awaiting on me.. and that's why i haven't stopped.
Thanks guys... (and their mrs's for not divorcing them!)
PS.. my wife also wants a developer to create a couple of buttons on her omnia.
One button = Husband puts down phones!
Two Button = Husband does not grunt when asked question by her.. cos he is engrossed in panels!
Three button = Husband does not buy another new phone ever ever ever again!
I told her.. this is impossible... but she still asked me to find out.
23/11/08
The Alpha Cab has gone out to 5 selected testers.
This is a test version.. with many bugs.
So far.. this is the feedback
It installs.
It launches
It works
However.
Media panel & Facebook panel don't work on Alpha 0.02
Panel launcher Working. 3 testers had issues with relaunches after 5 times.It then becomes unresponsive
TF3d / Coloured Xperia / Silver Xperia / Radio Panel / SPB Panel / Google panel and Fish Panel all operate.
Animation works well on all.
I will work to address some of these.. and release a second alpha cab only to the Alpha testers.
19/11/2008
Alpha Build 0.02.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4rnX1V8cLiw
15/11/2008
Big jump made by all work done by nelshh (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=916337)
He has developed a working prototype that will call the panel manager tab.
So.. AS OF TODAY.. the 15th.. thanks to nelshh, we have something that now functions..and needs finalising and wrapping.
I will contact people to see if you can also help.
But please give nelshh a big thanks on this thread... for all his work in his project Xperiatweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440035)... and also his work on here.
Thanks nelshh

hi,
Am sure lot of guys here would be interested to do the testing & developement for you.Can you post here, how you started with porting panels onto HD? I searched for the panels cab and cant find anything on this xda ? Would be useful if you could give some more information,
regards
vijayvasa
works fine on HD?
Is much slower than xperia?
The panels looks good on HD as comapre to X1 because of the large screen. Do share the cabs and procedure to do that once you are done.
Thanks in advance.
Hope the panels work faster than on the X1 otherwise they are useless. On the X1 they are way to slow to work productively with them.
But the chance that they work faster on the HD are small, right? Cos the hardware of both the X1 and the HD are about the same, are they?
Also looking forward for a cab file for testing them by myself.

Hello Harvsingh,
I would be very interested in helping you, but I have absolutely no experience in programing (besides my old ti-83plus). Do you think I could help you somehow? Can you tell me what I should do? I don't want to loose this project only because nobody here wants to help... So, if I can do something, I'll try to do it!! I think I'll get my HD this week, than I can try everything and if you tell me, also other things. I really want to help... Greez, cad^^
Wow HarvSingh !
Good for you! Looks like a good job on the face of it!
Great to see this post!
Have seen someone porting TouchFlo3D to Xperia, and was wondering whether anyone would port the Xperia Panel over to Touch HD.
Well, hopefully you would share the cab file for the rest of us to do a test on it, and more people to come and improve on it.
Do you manage to get the gold fish to work too? Guess it would really be nice to let the gold fish swim on the bigger screen.

Thanks for the words.....
Yes.. all panels work.. but not after a reboot..
Fish are very happy in the bigger tank.. and stroking the screen has the same affect on scared little fishy
It's now a case in finding out what is causing it to flap itself on a reboot.
On a hard reset... going through my way to wedge the panels in.. works... then on reboot... i cannot start it.
Also.. after selecting the panel you want.. i'm still to find the call it makes from the X1 panel button to call up panel chooser with the tiled view.. so. when you've selected the panel.. you cannot re-choose another.
but.. this is my first day in doing this.. and i guess i'll plod along.. till i find it.. or just think screw it.

Have you definitely told it to not load the TouchFlo3D? That may interfere with it after a reboot.

Well to be honest, the Panels are more a marketing USP than anything else. While they are convenient, I have no issue or propensity against going into each thing separately as per normal.
But if you could get it working fully, it would be great. SonyEricsson wouldn't be too happy about it though I think !
For me, this is an extremely exieting project, because I only hoped/feared that there'll be some developers, bringing some great programs for the panels and nobody else could use them. Like spb-panel, I like it really a lot from what I've seen in videos. So, than I could have the best of both worlds, on a biiig screen^^ please, work on, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's very, very interestet in this project!!! And I want to congratulate you already for the work you've done until now!! Its amazing!!! Go on, finish it I wish you good, good luck and if you need any help I could do, I give you my word that I'll try to do my best!! Many greez, cad^^
Hi all
Video showing it running on a Touch Hd.. for the conspiracy theorists.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jo0ZhxOi8s
I don't get the video. Could you explain what's going on ?
I didn't have the audio on, if there was any, but it's just showing that it's possible. That's the first time I've seen it in action, and I'll admit it may be a little slow, but it looks better than the TouchFlo3D... I'd definitely install it.

No-one wants to hear me talk...
So. i just quicky launched it up.. and ran through..
All buttons work.. i was trying to juggle a TYTN II... look at the phone and tytn.. and press buttons... so .. i may not have pressed buttons properly..
But.. trust me.. they all work... and as quick/quicker than on the Sony X1.def not slower.

It sounds like you are looking for everyone to do the work for you.
As previously stated, the sticky threads are where to start.
The search function also works flawlessly.
It would take an hour to look up all the things you listed and repost the links here.
Modding your device is a work in progress my friend, your work in progress

Nothing to flame .... mspl's joining date is Aug 2008. Lot of time to learn how things are going around here.
thanks both of you for your support,
but, but,
here, do no laugh I am lost...with, generic R3A english, WM 6.1, almost not too many softwares come with it, and, I really do not know what to choose for an RSS reader, one, easy, and one I can from it, tell him, please do connect when I like it, not when he like it, meaning a manual feed os so.....
see brothers, I did not learn all, yet, and probably would never..I use now the NewsBreak, very nice, and, it connect nicely with Opera, but, like I say, when I like it...Did not find the function, yet, and, do not like to goes, each time in communication manager to turn ON/OFF the data exchange....
I used this website to help me out.
http://geekedout.se/winmo.php
Plus you can do a search anywhere in XDA.
Just flash your X1 with this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536551
I was about to sell mine on ebay due to low volume and a few other issues...this rom put right everything that's wrong with the X1...you'll be amazed
Thx,
Yes Its True I joined XDA @ 2008. but i did not use it.
I started using when i purchase HTC S710 and i was quite Happy with all the stuff available here.
I recently Purchase Xperia and i was really Dream abt it; since 1 Yr.
finally i get it . but i wanted to know right Apps to install because thre are several Version.
I myself Change the ROM to R3A UK Version ; priore to that i install WM 6.5 but i was not happy with it because lot of Bugs.
so i delete and Use the Original latest ROM available but still its missing lot of SW
Video, Radio( I install HTC Radio and its work fine), ... several apps missing ..
so i was requested to Post all apps available wiich was tested to run with XPeria.
The main issue is after i install TF3D Beta3 ; there is still some bugs ..
iknow XDA ppl are working hard to release the better one.
I really Appreciated,
but in Beta3 of TF3d i found we need to press harder in order to access floating menu , and its take time to load the apps.
Regards.

For apps and stuff I go to IPmart. You can find everything you want!

First, try Jack's medium or full 6.1 ROM for a couple of days. Than you'll decide what you still miss.

Okey dokey.... Mister, this is what we all have :| So, what are you trying to say? you used a prog to landscape your screen then took pics of it to show them to everyone that happened to have the EXACT same thing?

2. Or, are you telling me that although you can port Manila 2.5 to landscape, you have a life and therefore you won't do it?

it could have been usefullfor my rhodium to as i own a blackstone and a rhodium and gave my girlfriend my iolite

nice one dude... am i missing sumthing here, im assuming that there is a file to install that u will put on here or there is a file that is already on my device
sorry bringing it up again
but it´s been days i´ve been look for some ROM or cab with the manila 2.5 FULLY landscaped
all i´ve found is the default music and photo tabs tilting ones
but i´d like to have all the screens rotated
seen it on older models as touch pro and even on touch hd on some videos
using gsen or gyrator on that roms only gave me a black screen on 2.5 and a useless almost half screen with a lot of glitches on 2.1
guess full landscape support it's possible since touch pro 2 is out some time now and hd2 has been announced
so, guys... is there a way to get manila 2.5 fully landscape mode?
thanks in advance

Hey Guys
I am using the following
Radio: 4.49
Rom: WWE 6.5
Operator: T Mobile
I have advanced config, and I saw a thread about tweaking the gps, please can someone explain to me in detail how to do that. Under GPS in advanced config it was mentioned to set log file to No logging , but everytime i chose no logging when i restart the device it goes back to \windows\GPSlogFile.txt
it was also mentioned to delete the old and current log file how can I do that.
Are those tweaks applicable to win mobile 6.5
Look for the Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc thread stickied at the top of this section
I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.
I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.
For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid
I don't know what to tell you. When i got it it took a lot to get a lock so i updated the radio from the official site, installed SeaSGEE (do a search), downloaded the content, used the gps registry tweak ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/GPS Tweaks ) and the lock is under 2 minutes (although i believe the lock time is horrible compared with the samsung omnia which was 15 seconds).
Hope it helps.

I have tried installing it .. on 6.5 with NO LUCK ;( If you find a way message me too !
Just found this : http://pocketnow.com/thought/goodbye-transcriber
Handwriting recognition has always been a feature of Windows Mobile that went unrivaled by most other smartphone operating systems. Admittedly, most people either didn't use the feature or didn't know that it existed. About a year ago, we did a tutorial on how to use the features of Transcriber to get fantastic handwriting recognition.
The upcoming HTC HD2 has a capacitive screen, meaning that traditional styli cannot be used with the device. Because of this, HTC has stripped out the Transcriber option, as seen below from the HD2 ROM. Also of note is that there is now only one keyboard option, which is HTC's Touch keyboard. Gone is the small stylus keyboard that we've come to know for many generations of Windows Mobile.
With Transcriber gone, will you miss it?
You don't need to take it personal and get upset.
You should at least consider that the issues you're asking about are not common....so the number of people who know or care about the answer is small. If they were common issues then you'd find many other posts stating the same problem. Do you?
If you've followed the suggestions and the suggestions don't work for you, then what more can anyone say? How much time are people supposed to devote to troubleshooting a problem that only you have?
If you scan down the list of threads, those threads that have 0 responses are either questions that are odd/unique/unknown or have been answered so often that there's a sticky with the answer at the top of the forum...which indicates that the poster isn't even trying to help themselves.
BTW: If I had the answer to your technical issues I'd offer it, but I don't.

If I read the site you linked to correctly, L3V5Y says the transcriber is a registry setting, but is still in the OS. Anyone know what registry setting would enable it?
I just checked my Tilt2 and it still has transcriber. If you click on the Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. Go to other input methods, and transcriber is one of them. I don't know of any custom roms that have the transcriber, but my Tilt2 rom has it. I haven't flashed anything to my Tilt2 yet, but will be doing so soon. I have flashed a lot of roms to my old Tilt and Fuze, but am really looking to get a stock ATT rom with the BS bloat taken out. I have yet to look at Da_g's, but will be doing so shortly.
And, by the way, I've been a member for about three years, but my post count is low because I do search for things. when I have asked a question, I typically have gotten great responses. The "go search" people are usually smug people with no knowledge, but have seen others write it, so they do too.
My GPS wakes up in <10s in clear skies when it's been on somewhat recently, perhaps 1 minute if it's got stale data.
If your GPS takes forever to warm up, there's something wrong with it. As for the registry entries, you're probably just doing it wrong. Besides, there's zero need for it anyway.

What ver of Mobile you have 6.1 ??
In Mobile 6.5 - If I goto Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. I have NO "other input methods "
sad to say .. But true
--------------------------------------edit
Ok .. I am a dumbass I installed Transcriber .. and true it does not give you the option of choosing it from the optons menu ..
However if you find transcriber.exe in the windows dir .. you can run it and it does work !
So I made a link and added it to the startup dir in windows and it works just fine now
Just a warning .. if you change to the full or compact qwerty it closes transcriber and you will have to restart it to make it work again :/

My Tilt 2 (6.5) offers Transcriber, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, and Block Recognizer. Sorry your ROM is crippled.

I have a tilt2 and both transcriber and letter recognizer (my favorite) are enabled and the tilt 2 does use wm 6.5. i went back to the stock rom after flashing the energy rom because it didn't have it, i just prefer features over speed. i vow not to flash another rom unless it has full handwriting recognition, i for one use it a lot more than the keyboard.

I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.
I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.
For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid

Hi hykhleif
I think that you have misunderstood the ethos of this forum. This is a developers forum not a users forum. There is a "Questons and Answers" section in the General section of the forum which you'll see at the top of the main forum page. You may get more detailed help by posting questions there.
I think that if you want "user" advice generally this is potentially not the best place to look but a forum on the HTC website. I think that www.expansys.com has some good user forums as well.
I hope you get your device working to your satisfaction.
Best wishes

Mods,
Not that I am a religious freak or anything like that, not that I object to those who choose to believe in that sort of stuff...
For the record I would like to convey my objection to the tone err attitude err approach err demanding nature of the comments err are we here on this planet to serve this person err is he a reincarnated faro? I move that this thread be removed and our faro friend be given some lessons/guidance on how to communicate in a none aggressive (or pigheaded) way...
We all get frustrated... we all have people in our lives that represent a challenge... our girlfriends/boyfriends all get headaches from time to time... so lets keep a lid on the aggressive nature particularly in this our very fine forum...
PATIENTS is a VIRTUE.

simply i apologize to my tone, i was not aggressive but frustrated.
