You're funny. If you like to tinker there's nothing better than WM. Did you put 6.1 on it?

no i havent just the the dash again today preloaded with wm6 but dont know cant find a offical tmobile US wm6.1 rom
There is no WM6.1 Official ROM Kavana's ROM is best you can flash
really that rom is that good?? no issues with it?? what version? ive been out of the loop with wm and dash due to my blackberry so any new tips and stuff would be great thanks again
Best ROM EVER, man .
Consider Kavana's 080314
Hey man,
Try the above mentioned Rom first before you switch...
Here's the link

I've tried every ROM, every version. The Kanava 14 is the best IMHO. The only tweak you'll need is to make sure you use the right keyboard mapping file (search the kavana thread). Also, find the "PhoneKeyMatch Patch.reg" file. I installed it and it solved the only problem I had: being able to search contacts with z or a.
The ROM is really good.
ok so i found the zip file for the phonekeymatch patch. reg now where is the mapping file im using my dash on tmobile us network english of course also the kanava 080318 Final is the one i downloaded is this the right rom?
I had a Curve 8320. In less than a week, I was bored, unimpressed, and buying another Dash.
BB has crippled hardware, limited tweaks, too much control from service providers, and ugly fonts. Battery life is good, and so are google apps.
Hey guys, I came across this! Apperently Voda has released an update for the tp2! Follow this link!
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
Now all it says is that you can improve efficiancy my downloading this new update! What in the name of god does that mean? thats a very vague description of an update! Anyway i have downloaded it but not yet flashed it to my phone!
Anyone who has flashed it can let us know how efficient their phones become!
PS.. I wish they have gotten rid of the GOD awful Voda theme!
Elfangor
I'm sure I have seen this mentioned elsewhere, I think this is just the standard software, they have just got around to putting on their website.
Vodafone TP2 Update
Hardly worth the updater to be honest best option is to dump the rom and hardspl your phone then upgrade the rom to 6.5
This is definately an update. My phone is a couple of months old and it's ROM is 1.14.161.5, the new ROM is 1.14.161.6, which is what the more recent phones are already coming with. I want to know what the updates/improvements are before I flash it.
Let us know how it goes on
Cheers
Barney
The only question I have, is does the update get rid of the awful red and white background and change it to a "proper" all black one?
I wouldn't bother mate , i've gone from the branded voda rom and never looked back since... get it hardSPL'd and stick a nice stable Win6.5/ Manilla 2.1 ROM on it, you wont regret it.
Company phone! Have to stick with the official one unfortunately. at least until the guarentee runs out.
cheers
Barney
With full access to the ROMs and EVOs now, it doesn't seem like it will take long to me. Do any informed experts have any ideas?

took me 7-8 hours to root the samsung moment once we got a copy of the leaked android 2.1....this phone is setup completely different and i dont physically have it to test anything.
im doing some research and hope to figure out a solution, but it'll be hard for me to test it for sure.
if anybody else has some insight with previous HTC and android experience, that'd be great to hear some other opinions?!
or maybe an HTC phone with similar file system structure which was rooted?
joey do u plan on getting this phone? i had a moment but was lucky enough to get the evo off someone that went to i/o.....it would be awesome to have your kernels working on this bad boy!!!

yea, im heavily considering it. i qualify for my upgrade so for $199 and giving up a hardware keyboard for all the great hardware features this has, i think its worth it!
i hope to be able to compile a few kernels for you and everybody else

ah dont even worry about the onscreen keyboard it takes a second to get used to it. that was the reason why i picked the moment over the hero but i still found myself using swype lol. as of now im just using the htc keyboard and its pretty slick so far just have to train the dictionary.
i work for sprint, my indirect rep came in with his evo the other day and so i installed swype 1.25 on it. FREAKIN. AWESOME. also, MAD props to joeykrim. i have the moment and he has done SO many wonderful things with it. but it looks like im going to htc...
EDIT: joey, i would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see you move to the evo and see what that genius brain can cook up. if you ever need a tester, im all over it. been with you on sdx since the days you and speedrabbit were bustin down and fixing 1.5.
IM getting the EVO day of release and maybe another for testing. Let me know when you want to get this thing a try. i just hope it doesn't brick XD
knowing joeykrim, once he gets his grubby hands on an Evo - it'll be rooted there soon after.
glad to see some familiar names over here guys...
Looks like the question has just about been answered :>

Old school Palm devs working on it... even without details released, I'd stake my farm on it being 100% legit.
Important note - I have no farm .
HTC Evo 4G rooted in record time

Yeah but in case you guys haven't heard the shipped 2.1 rom you guys get may not be final. Sprint could easily push an update to close off root. Just look in the hero section, the final 2.1 RUU is still not able to be rooted by our best devs. Im not trying to worry anybody but it is a possibility.
IN !!!!!!!!!!!!
my htc touch pro 2 will be going tomorrow when my htc desire arrives.
im guessing it will be all vodafone branded and im wondering if anyone can point me towards an official android 2.2 update if it hasnt already got it?
also what tips & tricks would you reccomend for a first time android user?
thanks

hello, your Desire will not be branded.. thanks to the people (and me) who had complained about the 1.24.161.3 uptade (vodafone branded, very buggy & slow!)
enjoy the phone, dont root or do anything with it as it is your first android phone so it would be very likely to brick the phone if you do not read & or know enough
I am pretty sure you will have 2.2, however 2.1 is not that bad so no poit messing around with the phone to get 720p etc.. for me- it made no differace, just wanted the horrible branding off!
nice to see someone live close to me.. never saw anyone clocer than london..
hope this helps & enjoy the phone

welcome, to the dark side !!
thank you all... that would be sweet if its not branded like my tp2 was....
im inbetween slutton & croydon and work in east london atm.
ive heard alot of good things about android, only every really had a lil play with 1 or 2 android phones in the shops, couldnt test the internet ect...
but i wasnt keen on flashing my phones, must be why i got so annoyed with the tp2.
i will check out the link posted, and i will probly be posting up about more stuff if i cant find it in the search function.
You wouldn't be dissappointed with the Desire, infact, you wouldn't be dissapointed with any of hTC's android phones, especially unbranded ones. I strongly suggest you to flash a custom rom tho, they are quicker and more efficient than stock roms and should lengthen your battery life compared to normal stock roms.
Well I hope you will enjoy the phone, and have fun in the Desire forum
started using my desire last night, havnt evan had time to set anything up on it, i need to get used to the touch screen, soo used to having touch & type lol
have installed a few things such ass whatapp & juice defender because the people i work with rate that app highly with there galaxy S's
So HTC Is Sending Me An HTC Trophy And I Was Wondering What I Should Know About Windows, I've Always Loved Windows, But Ever Since Android Came Around I've Been With That, Is There Any Tricks I Should Know? Best Apps? Apparently They Are Sending Me A Production Software For My Phone, But Idk What That Is? To My Knowledge It Already Comes With NoDo Sooo I'm Still Wondering.
If you love it now.. Wait till you get Mango , it brings out a lot of cool features , this is something that I saw a few days ago

Wow, I just noticed that. I think I might setup my bluetooth headset and just text with that when I am at home. Thank you for the tip!
