Hello,
I am an avid BA user, and the BA is my main phone. Some features have been driving me crazy. Could you please answer the following questions:
1)Sync time with network... It knows the time when I receive a text message, but I cannot make the real time sync.
2)Actually shutdown the device... Hold down power turns off backlight, and PSShutdown doesn't do anything.
3)Low power consumption ROM... I want a ROM (WM6 or above) That does not take much battery... Any suggestions?
4)Change Splash Screen... I read something about TUMA changing the 4 colored stripes screen
5)Change Boot Splash Screen... While WinMo is booting (Green WinMo 6.1 Pro...) Green with the twirly design.
Thank you in advance!

1. If you mean the sync time over GSM... this don't work i think the problem is the HTC Calypso chip...(GSM Chip)
2. Shutdown is not supported by the bootloader... (not yet future plan in PXADroid)
3. Don't know you can test my Roms... (look in my signature)
4. NO
5. in the windows folder is a file "welcomehead.96.png" this is the Boot Splash...
OK, thank you for the reply. How is NANDroid going?
Thanks

Just got the default HTC_Default.tsk and i'm glad my phone looks the way I thought it would when I bought it. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the remaining traces of that hideous blu Cingular theme. Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you should take a look in the HTC Wizard forum, or use the search for changing your Splash screen!
What do you mean by remaining traces? Dialpad? Color scheme?
Sorry noobed out I forgot to say Hermes

Thanks for the reply mccune. I'm on a Cingular 8525 aka Hermes. I got the HTC_Default.tsk and it looks awesome. I'd like to get rid of the phone dialer splash with the blue background and cingular logo I see when I use the phone. I'm still butchering the names of all the screens so I apologize. I realize it's hard to communicate w/o the lingo down. I'm learning. I'm trying to change the appearance of the phone w/o bricking it with a bad ROM install before I know what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for any tips on where to look. I'm definitely willing to feed myself if you point me to the fish.
For dialers you should check: PaulYa
You can simply create your own boot screen by doing this:
- Create a PNG image 320x240
- name the image: welcomehead.96.png
- Set the properties of the image so that it's hidden
- place the image in youw Windows directory of your device
The third part, the splash screen. I suggest you search for it in the Hermes section. There is also a big topic about this in the Wizard section. Don't know if it works the same.
Awesome dialer!
Thanks for the 411! I'm running Paul's dialer and it rocks. I've been doing so much research I've forgotten half my life.
I have made an unbranded version of PDAVIET's latest rom, if anyone wants

Hi, can you explain "unbranded version" ?
Thanks you
Thanks. Have you deleted Adobe, Java, PHM and voice speed? Please let me know cause I've the full version and really love it; save I don't need those softwares
it would be just perfect if you could take all the softwares... since just like you i dont use any... pshutxp (i hate that crappy skin), hibernate mode and battery on tray, pimbackup... all souns on windows folder, all the themes(i love the simple grey one ) a and so on...
Could you do it? or explain how to?

Go to start/settings/connections/wireless lan/powermode and change it to best performance.
Maybe this helps for you.
I did that, but it doesn't seem to effect at all..
If there is a bug in that slider app, can I set right powermode straight to the registry?
And yes I am sitting only three meters avay from my router and still getting only about 15% of full signal strenght.

Superb Rom by the way PDAVIET i love it ..fast reliebale and stable too
Can someone writes here how to create custom splash screens and apply them to device without flashinf FULL rom?
Thanks!
fix the 3 pictures in easy steps
here how I did it, I am not an expert but it works for me.
move the file called (RUU_signed) from the folder of the ROM.
put this file (HTC Splash) instead of it.
just press (ROMUpdateUtility) like you do for upgrading the ROM it only take few seconds and you find that you have a diffrent start screen.
now you only left with one last screen wich you could change it by changing the image file in your windows via active syn called (welcomehead.96). just drag it to windows folder and replace the original one.
I hope you find it good!
It only bloody works...thanks MADJID nice response...
Dont be a butcher
Not to be a Killjoy or anything.
PDAVIET has obviously put a lot of work into this rom.
The only time you see the PDAVIET logo is when you reboot.
So whats the issue?
Give credit to the guys who do the work./
If you dont like the PDAVIET logo then write your own bloody rom. or at least learn how to
They might not appreciate you butchering their roms.
I know I wouldn't
I think that PDAVIET put alot of work. But it's Almost Perfect, the Splash Screens are really horrible, these Roms deserve better.
This is why you'll find in this forum alot of complains about how to make the screens better (or at least original)/
We all r searchin' perfection.
And for the secod time, I love your Rom PDAVIET
I managed to fix the "blank screen at the bottom" problem when flashing a splash screen. For Raphael it's currently working nicely, but for Diamond I need a volunteer to test this Details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
Let me know if you've tried it and it worked for you
EDIT: Now confirmed working for Diamond also. Thanks to Sevennl for testing!
hahaha..! I guess no one wants to be the first one in Diamond Let me just clear what this patch do--this fixes the old splash screen still occupying about 100px below the screen when flashing a new one-- so you don't need to flash only black-themed splash screen but true 480 x 640 screen
would try, but never flash splash screens... how often do u see them???!!

well.. it's for:
- people who don't want the operator logo/htc logo and a more customized one
- people who want to make the splash screen part of their "phone theme"
- people who want their info "harcoded"-- I usually put my contact details on the splash screen in case, you know, it gets stolen Easy to hard-reset and lose all your details, but not that easy to remove the splash screen for a person not reading much on xda-developers
so there!
hmm.... if someone found my phone, i doubt they could turn it on, let alone reset it to find my contact details (logic?)
i agree that some people may want the start screen (a sign of a reset after a crash) as part of their theme, but personally i dont see the point.
Cheers for the contribution, hope u find someone to test it.
I tried it and it works.

Hello everyone,
I've used my PDA2K on & off for the past 5 years but have always felt it's pretty much not worth the effort using it for anything serious. The net is slow and the general Windows 2003 SE operating system fragile, I reckon I've soft reset a thousand times since owning the unit. What advice can anyone give on how to improve it's capabilities & make it less boring to use, what change should I try. I'm not worried about frying the ROM as I only use this to surf the net nowadays & thats about it, just feel it's too good to bin but want to get something more out of it than I'm getting now.
Thanks any advice on possible software changes would be appreciated.
i would say...try win 6.5..no doubt you like that
regard stef
The PDA2K is still the best device if you need a mobile log typing unit. It's beacuse of the built in keyboard and the big portrait format screen (wich is the best if you have to to type in lists, contact data a.s.o.). This unique feature is the reason why I can't change my PPC.
Win 6.5 for me is not so important, there are few drawbacks compared to WM2003SE (no build in Excel encryption, less usable screen area (because of hotkeys), no direct menus in office applications.
install wm5, when you get bored install SPB Mobile Shell, when you get bored again change the color of the menu
seriously its quite nice app, have nice launcher etc... try it...
Thanks
Don't get me wrong I love it but just feel I'm missing something as I'm sure it's capable of so much more.
I'll take the advice and have a play with upgrading, do current 2003 apps such as my TomTom run on the upgrades. Even if not I think I'll give it a go anyway.
Thanks again for the replies
Yes it works on new WM version
I think he becomes unconfortable of the buggy WMG.S (or 6.5 we use other names cause Mycrosooft hunts us) you need to taste first WM6... then 6.1 his manilla 2D is great... and then G.S is beta but fine... try it all but men
follow everything step by step at upgrading please if you have any question ask here please.
Not so Boring now
Well + Que PPC and others,
I took your advice and upgraded and its a lot less boring.
I can't sync though, it tries but the an error message appears on BA moaning about a USB port not being available.
When I now turn on the BA I get a white screeb with start and a few icons at the top and Phone + Contacts at the bottom, clicking start takes me to a black screen with icons. If I soft reset I get the red/green/blue/white stripes while it resets.
Is all this normal or am I still stuck in bootloader, I'm new to all this so what I mean is could this be something I've not finished off correctly that is stopping me syncing now.
I don't mind fixing all the other problems once I can sync OK.

Heh tjpearson, you was searching for new use cases. I suggested to use your device more professionally. You decided to have an OS update. This way you decided the best use case for you is trouble shouting.
Seriously, I can't understand why OS upgrading is such an important thing on the BA. The benefits of the device lies in the big screen and the built in keyboard. If you search for a nice GUI take a iPhone.
No idea
Hiya pdahunter,
I have no idea what you mean or what your advising.
All I want is to surf and keep important notes plus store my gadget PDF manuals plus photography bumph.
Hey ho going for a bath now and then bed, tomos night going to watch United win, I hope, so won't be able to look at this again til Thursday night.
Hope I've no fkd this Pocket PC up with what I've done.
come on guys!!!! why always this ends like this F***N S**T THINGS!!!
EGZTHUNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come on men! make your job here please...
I will prepare the scene for you a little...

The white screen cant be posible men... I will xplain you the new OS built..
If I can guess what you've upgrade... I mean I nedd to know wich ROM are you upgrade please provide the name or the link where you find it...
FIRST: The OS 2003 didnt has the soft buttons PHONE at left bottom and right at right bottom cause the new OS are designed for PDA phones that has buttons on that place... thats all... ok.
SECOND: you said that when you tap on start it tooks you to a black screen with icons i gueeeeeeees you have WM6.5 cause since WM2003 we had start cascade menu like windows XP or VISTA or Whatever... Thats normal on WM6.5 if you want the older start menu? just... downgrade a WM6 or 6.1 it has the older start menu.
THIRD:
If I soft reset I get the red/green/blue/white stripes while it resets.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well the boot screen is hardcoded in roms so... is not an issue is normal we can only change the splashscreen...
known new features and pro's for a new ROM tooks its time men I mean new apps and programs are not supported with WM2003 so this is the very first pro of upgrading...
You are not stuck on bootloader or... are you on a black screen with Serial or USB upside and downside a version... it is BOOTLOADER not the RGB screen! ok?
if it cant boots and it cant pass trough the tricolor screen well seems you need to upgrade again maybe your batt was dead on middle process and it dont have enough batt to boot... but maybe you dont wait the time... or maybe you need reupgrade a rom...
Dont be so alarmed men your device is fine calm down you are not brick jejeje

1. I did not change nor delete anything here.
2. Again, why change the OS to a Version the device is not made for. The only reason I can see is a better system GUI or new applications with a better GUI. That's why I suggest to take a iPhone if this is important.
3. I'm frustrated because I'm realy interested in the technical benefits of WM6.x. Better WLAN Connection? Stereo Bluetooth? Some unique apps that doesn't run on wm2003?
But as soon somebody speaks about WM6 on the BA the focus changes to trouble shouting.
4. Why it's not helpful to say "Don't change the OS version if you search for better use cases!" ?
Great!! you have your OWN ANSWER

WOH I didn't mean to upset anyone here, I'm learning.
Have no idea of what I'm doing apart from trying to update my BA to surf the net faster, be better to use and so I don't have to soft reset every 2 minutes. This is my 1st attempt, if I've gone in too deep then tell me, I'll back grade to 2003 and start again with whatever you recommend.
You know your stuff so stay friendly, calm down and I can help you set up race suspension on a Yamaha R6 for the best cornering Or if you want advice on patching a Technomate Satellite box I'm your man.
I will go back to 2003 and you tell me what to update, cos you are the men that know, I defo don't, nice one !!

Hi ...
im new to this device, have it for 2 day, allready managed to flash it 7 times, and reinstall all the stuff... still im missing some stuff which i cound not find using search here for like 10 hours... so if anyone can help, i would be more then happy..
im using [ROM][WWE][05-FEB-09] kalhimeo Super Lite ROM WM 6.5 | NO-MANILA, since i dont like everything that comes with the official rom, and its fast as hell.
- im missing the BLUE led diode for the BT blinking... is there a reg hack for this or a cab to install ???
- cannot find a checkbox for WAKE UP PHONE WITH ANY BUTTON... i dont want to look for the power button every time i want to see the clock on the s2u2 screen, is there a reg hack for this on wm6.5 ? in older ppcs there was a checkbox in the keyboard settings i think so you could turn the phone from sleeping with green or red button.
- where to get the new dialer cab (htc dialer probably?) i only find themes for it, since the rom does not have it (it has the old stnardard one). What i found and installed it just totaly messed up my dialer, now i have to use the hack "no theme" so i can see the buttons, other cabs just destroy the dialer.
- also im missing the comm manager if there is a cab install ?
thanx, i know u wont kill me for my "stupid" questions, but i really cound not find the answers... i have been installing checking reading this page for at least 20 hours in this 2 day, im goind slightly mad
the phone is just SUPERB love the screen!
thanx everyone.
