I looked for that thead and could not find it, could any one tell me how can i do this?

I really want to update to WM6.1 with one of these great roms. Here's my issue. I don't care about the MyFaves crap on the homescreen or even having the program on my phone. If I switch to one of these roms will it effect how MyFaves works? I don't plan on changing my faves and even so I could just do it online via MyTmobile. I just want to make sure that if I do use one of these roms I can still call these people with no charge. I'm not sure if It's on Tmobile's end or on my end. Thanks. :3

Now I am not with T-Mobile myself, but I beleive that its on T-Mobiles end...I dont think that your phone has anything to do with it, other than providing an easy way to tell whos on your MyFavs list, instead of having to remember them.

correct, the My Faves does not need to be on the phone itself. I have the same plan and set it up online.

Great to hear! It will be a few days before i do this so if anyone knows somthing we dont let me know!

I've updated my ROM to the latest HTC ROM offered on this site and have not had any issues. My Faves, as you know, will not be on the phone itself, but can be changed from the MyT-Mobile website. The My Faves program on your phone only lets T-Mobile know which 5 numbers you've chosen and if and when you have changed them.
The biggest loss in getting rid of MyFaves from your phone is the convenience of changing them on the fly. Without it, you must have a computer available. Not really a big issue for me, but it may be for others.

Great! Here's another question for ya. I have been using the T-Zones Proxy to get free EDGE/GPRS. Will a new ROM make this unusable since T-Zones will no longer be on my phone? Sorry If I seem like a noob lol. I got my phone in September of last year and the most I've done is proxy it and mod the JOGGR.

It works for me...
I do this for my company and i don't get charged extra. I just change my Faves online. Good Luck!

Are you referring to free internet due to a glitch by T-Mobile or are you referring to the $5.99 T-Mobile hotspot plan hack/work-around? The first method is a glitch on T-Mobile's part and will most likely be corrected anyway. I've read that you will lose the Hotspot capability which may screw you if you get internet via the hack/work-around.
I know this doesn't really help, but I'm one of those suckers that pays for the internet so I can't answer your question. You may also want to check out howardforums.com or just use google to help you find an answer to your question. Sorry I couldn't do more to help.

can't seem to find it either. please help my gf is so mad cause she doesn't know how to use her phone w/o myfaves. lol.

also where do you find this hack went to that site posted above and no go cannot find it
now if you do have myfavs can u still use this hack?

hmm i need the exact oposite i have the service but im on kavanas rom which dosent have the My Faves program anyway to get a cab or somthin that will hook up with the service?

This will put myfaves on your phone got it in another forum.. I can not take credit. It will not be on front page but it will be on the phone.

Recommended tweaks & installs for Touch Pro 2

(lets see if this becomes a sticky )
Hello all. I just received my brand spanken new Touch Pro 2 and im currently playing with it to figure it out. Now most of you vet WinMo users know generaly what you want/need to do with your phone as soon as you get it. You know the tweaks that need to be done to make it faster, and what Aps work better than the defaults. While i know that knowledge is spread all around the forum, i though it would be nice if we collect that knowledge and pool it into one thread so that new owners can go right to it, and pick out everything they want with out hunting..
To that end, now that i am a new owner, i would like to know what I should do to it first and foremost. Ive heard their is a way to tweak the camera to make it preform better (for instance), and i know theirs a way to turn off, or make a quicker way to switch on and off 3g. This is manly the kind of stuff im looking for..
Also. Ive seen a recommendation on how to charge the battery for the first time. Pretty much Anything you guys can think of that new owners should/or need to do to get their Touch Pro 2 working in Top order. I would like to know this (so i dont end up running a slower version cause i missed something..
So how bout it? (i will edit this post as suggestions/links are posted)

That is a *little* more than i want to be throwing at first time WinMo users. IVe been using smart phone edition for a while so i can atleast find my way around, but given this is a new phone, and my first time using a full Winmo, i dont feel quite comfortable (yet) playing around in the registry. What im looking to collect here is "Out of the box" type of adjustments that most here would say should be made.
That other thread is good for later, but i just want to get the "ok you have your phone, now set it how it should be" mode.

excellent! which one of the 645,000 links would you suggest i use for s2u2?

Personally, I'd start with the first one, or maybe the second one since that one is on XDA- Dev. But if you use google in a different way than me and start at the back, that' s your choice.

TouchFLO 3D Weather Issue

Hi folks. I don't know what to do here. I have a brand new HTC Touch Pro2 (HTC Rhodium), as you probably know that this device offers TouchFLO 3D. TouchFLO has a weather gadget built in it. When I go ahead and tell it to find my CITY, it doesn't find it. I give it my ZIP code, it doesn't find it, I give it a nearby ZIP code it doesn't find that one also, nearby city is not found as well. My zip is 18966, but in regards to weather forecast we use nearby ZIP code. My zip code belongs to two towns and the town that usually comes up for my ZIP is a bit far from me. So we always use nearby city's ZIP code. But this app doesn't find any of them. My zip is 18966, but for this purpose we always use 18954. This city is 5 minutes away, rather then using my real zip code 18966 that is also shared with a town that is 25 minutes away.
So what can I do to maybe input more zip codes to find? AccuWeather.com - finds all of the zip codes mentioned. What should I do??

You can only add cities which are already listed. But you can add any city that is listed in AccuWeather, using the editor in the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918
A bit more cumbersome than it should be, but it works.

THANX!!!!!

Thank You. But as I understand this is a separate application. So I will have that on my TouchFLO and then this one that I will install would be just an application? I don't really want to have another application. It won't be on my TODAY's screen. I would need to run it. Unless I misunderstand this app. Is this going to replace the one I have??

Great, now I'm freak'in toasted. I tried to follow the directions in the linked instructions and now I have no weather at all andit crashes the touchflow on my TP2.
I am on the original rom.
Any suggestions please?

No, it replaces the original city/zip database with a much larger one, and the touchflo weather tab just uses the new database.

If so, than I need to understand this bit batter. If in future, after I do this, if I would need to do a hard reset; this won't affect it, right? If I do this, this will be permanently??

Help with your problem
If you don't mind doing a hard reset, then I would sugest that. You were given good info. go to the previous link. What you have to do is this. Have a storage card that you can download software to. keep a folder for the software that you have tried and want to reinstall if you have to do another hardreset. What you have to do is FIRST install MICROSOFT .NET CF 3.5 after that, then you can install CONFLIPPER NORTHAMERICA WEATHER v.5 After you do these two steps, then you can go to the WEATHER TAB and select to add a city. It will take a little while to get things going, but just be patient. I have it installed on my phone. I GOOGLED your zip. SOUTHHAMPTON,PA I then went to my weather tab and selected your city and it came up. As of 09:43 AM on Jan. 7,2010 the weather in your town was SUNNY 32% with a High of 37% and a Low of 26% for today. It works. Trust what you are being told. we all here were nubes at one time or another. We have tweaked and hacked our Smartphones. We share with everyone, so we can get help when we need it. This is just one issue. You will run into more and you will most likely get the answers that you need by keeping up with the forums. Try another browser called SKYFIRE. It's great. It is the browser that I have used almost since the day I got my TP2. Hope this also helps. Pay it foward!

Not for me!! I need to find 18954 not 18966 (Richboro is closer to Holland/Northampton Township than Southampton)
But, it doesn’t find any of them. I turned it off, and I use regular Home Screen. Besides Regular Home screen also tells you what day of the week it is, TouchFLO 3D doesn't do it. I’ll be glad to try to update from my 6.1 to 6.5 though.

Newbie who needs advice!!

Hi. Welcome to XDA When I first signed up to xda I had no idea what I was looking for or what I even wanted to do to my phone. Being familiar to the whole forum edict rather than asking questions that have already been answered a million times over I noticed the handy dandy search function.
An example: Regarding you above question I searched, "rhodium custom sms tones for contacts" and was quickly presented with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407933
I have no personal experience with this program but I imagine that you are not the first person to request such a thing so there are probably plenty of options out there Youtube is also a good reference source since you can search your phone and see custom things people have done to it. Check out the rom section for an all over makeover for you phone.
Xda's database is intimidating to say the least but sorting through what you need is pretty simplistic Good luck pimping you phone

Help! Install Android on touch pro 2

Every thing I have found contains dead links. Looking for the easiest way to install android on to my GSM TMOBILE touch pro 2. I been looking for the haret.exe way however dead links have side stepped me!
Problem: Install android
Device:Touch Pro 2
Which Cab? GSM (T-Mobile)
Let me apologize I know it has been asked a million times. I have went through 6 different Threads they all had dead links. I am sure I missed some good ones. So I do apologize, and I hope I asked in the correct forum .

What issues? Post in the thread of the build you're running. No need for a new thread... I know you already posted in the GB thread, I recommend starting with FroYo, mainly because it's more updated than the GB build. Less things are broken in FroYo basically .
Anyhoo, for GSM we display whatever the tower broadcasts. If your provider hasn't updated the towers, we can't do anything about it. VoiceStream no longer exists as a company, so I think you're fine lol.
