Hello.
I have a diamond with standard rom2.03.401.2 WWE.
SPB shell and s2u finally grew old and i want a new ROM. I want it to have Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Office 2010 and opengl drivers (for best performance). I want it clean and simple, nothing more than what i stated above and maybe sense 2.5.
I need help to find such a rom, and flashing help. I never flashed a non-official version. I've read the tutorials, but i want you to give me ROM recommendations and indicate which HardSPL i need to use and some basic instructions on what to do.
Thank you a lot.
Anyone ? Please help.
There are many WM6.5 ROMs in this forum, just try any one of them and choose which one you like best.
HTH.

well, before posting, please look at the second post of this forum (Diamond rom developpment)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
6.5 is a completely new OS so your going to have to install Hard SPL (link in post above)
after that your free to download any chef Roms (don't Ask which one is best because people REALLLY don't like those kind of questions here)
just try a few out see how you like them, or if your feeling up to the challenge download a kitchen and create your own custom 6.5 rom
(PS. Rom = the OS + any programs/tweaks added
kitchen = the tools needed to create a Rom
cooking = the act of using the tools from the kitchen to create a custom rom)
Hi,
I'm new to the forum, hence would appreciate some guidance & advice. Bought the Touch HD recently, and am keen to have the very nice looking
TF3D/manila 2.5 interface that's flying arnd the forum. But don't know how to go about doing it.
Is there a step-by-step dummies guide somewhere in the forum?
Frm what I can gathered, i think i need to flash my ROM before I can do anything. I see there are so many ROMs around but which should I use?
Info abt my device .. WM6.1 Pro, CE OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0).
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hello and welcome
There is indeed a superb dummies guide written by Digital Outcast here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
You will need a rom with TF3D 2.5. Take a look in the rom section and decide for yourself which one to go for based on what people have said in the threads. Bare in mind you can always flash another rom if you don't like it anyway...
At the time of writing Miri's Rev7.1 and Dutty's Leo R2 are the only roms with the very latest TF3D 2.5 (sometimes referred to as 2.6 as it has a weather panel and animated weather on the home screen).
Good luck!
Edit: forgot Miri also has a WM 6.1 rom with TF3D 2.5, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278, the two above use windows mobile 6.5
Also, an often forgotten website:
The Wiki Site
The wiki is very useful, with lots of step-by-step instructions on how to flash your ROM, add themes, flash radios, etc. Give it a shot!
There is also another 2.5 ROM from Efsane at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553888
with the latest WM 6.5 combined
Hey Guys i just got tp2 , however i dont know quite alot about windows mobile as i was a symbian user
I have a series of questions that i hope can find an answer
As we all know tp2 comes with windows mobile 6.1 and i have seen several leeks of 6.5 provided by XDA , my question is as follow can i install it normally and download it directly to my phone ?? or is their another way to get windows 6.5 to My tp2?
Second question is i really wanna know whats the benefits of doing Hard SPL , and whats the benefits of roms like energy rom? do they replace touch flo or something or the whole windows mobile? if anyone would just give me an insight to why one would want to use Hard SPL and constantly get new roms
Third: it also mentions with energy rom that it is windows 6.5 does this mean i must have windows 6.5 leaked version installed? or energy rom installs windows 6.5 by default to my phone?
Finally if i did install those roms could i download default windows applications like say coreplayer for example? or that wont be allowed ??
Thanks in advance and i hope my questions could find an answer!

to install any custom rom on your device, you need to have hardspl on your device. hardspl allows you to install these custom roms otherwise you would get an error and nothing would happen. the benefit is that these roms are tweaked and dont come with all the bloat ware that your cell providers cram a phones with. you must read the instructions though as you can damage your phone to the point of it not working anymore. as for apps, if they are built for windows mobile 5.0 and up, chances are that they will work, although some apps dont run at 800x480 resolution. some apps require .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5. you can download that through microsoft. and as far as windows version, that gets installed with the rom. so if it says 6.1 in the discription then you will be running 6.1 and so on. by installing these roms, you get an experience tailored more to your need instead of what a company puts out for everyone.
hope this helps

To answer your third questions...energy rom will install windows mobile 6.5 on your phone while it loads. There is no other steps necessary. (Besides Hard spl'ing first)
To answer your last question...Yes, you will be able to install coreplayer. You should be able to install any win mob program for that matter.

1st step: Hard-SPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
2nd step: Backup all your data (if needed)
3rd step: install the rom you want, be carefull, it´s a very addictive step.
Happy flashing.
Hello! Everyone,
I am desperately need some help. It's almost six months since I read about flashing custom roms and until now I can't find the courage to do it. For I don't muster enough knowledge (I think) in doing it.
I have an HTC Universal running in wm5. I want to flash it into wm 6.5. Is there some body who can forward me the suitable ROM and help me in the process of upgrading it? I really want to flash it to WM 6.5 so I can install cool looking GUI of e book reader in my device and some more eye candy stuffs.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need to upgrade.
Hello, Orb!
Hello! Orb,
It would really help me if you can point out what are the preliminary things I need to do than saying click your signature.
That is really what you did last time I ask about how to upgrade my Unit. Until now It gave me no confidence because I don't know where will I begin. I hope you can re consider helping me out. Thanks!
read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
I can tell you that the only way you´ll get to flash is to read a lot, we all started same as you, first of all loose the fear, if you follow the instructions all will be fine.
Said that you need to read my signature link, try looking in there for:
Instruction Guide For The Htc Universal Rom Upgrading
It was not so hard, isn't´it?
Good luck,
At least tell me the benefits of flashing ROM? Why will I flash my Device from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6?
Thank you so much!
More than benefits it´s an addiction for some of us
And of course you also have benefits, better, newer versions and so on
Nothing else I can´t say if you don´t flash
Good luck!
Hello! Orb,
I hope everything is fine at your end.
Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?
What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?
Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.
Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!
