Smart Dial (New Information) - General Topics

I found information regarding Smart dial at the following site:
http://www.geek.com/hwswrev/pda/jam/
Does anyone know how I can get my hands on this application? I used it once befor but in the ROM upgrade process do not which one or where to get it.
Thanks!

This is the intellidialler. It's in many extended rom cabs. Have a look in the VJBigphone thread, I've posted all of the extended rom from the universal. But it's in many other places too.

Just a little sugestion >>

hello there!
i am new (4months) to this forum and i have some questions.
i red the wiki. but still some things are very unclear.
but my biggest problem si that i can't figure out how many versions of WM6 are there. all i count is:
1. Midget_1990 v.1.0
2. Universal WM6 Pro ROM
3. Jwrightmcps ROM update 2.02.02
4. Jwrightmcps ROM Update 2.02.00 WEE
5. WM6 CHT/.../DUT with Radio 1.15.00 from Darkforce
are there any others ???
i appriciate all the users that took part of those releases, i realy do appriciate their work, but i think this forum is a little bit unorganised.
wouldn't it be better to name all the WM6 versions in the same way like:
1. [WM6] [Midget_1990] [1.0]
2. [WM6] [Jwrightmcps] [2.02.02]
3. [WM6] [Jwrightmcps] [2.02.00]
etc.....
or something like this, somename that includes the version, the build number, the os number, and put them sepparatly on the top of the forum (sticky).
and i would suggest to keep modifying the first reply from the topic. the one that includes the description of the version and to add all the things that are discovered by users.
sometimes it takes 20 pages to get and to read a reply that says something that really matters to you. the rest is just "thank you" replies.
for example, if you want to use an certain program you might spend a few days reading the topic and find out that you shouldn't have upgraded your device because u cannot run the program.
i personally don't understand what is "Universal WM6 Professional ROM".
from the name of the thread, it is not verry relevant who build it.
and also why is this one "professional"? i would call "professional" the WM6 release from an official source like HTC.
i don't want to offend anyone with this topic.
i just struggle to understand for 2 weeks what is going on with al these versions.
and i hopped that at some point, someone will make a conclusion about evry WM6 version, something like:
"version no.1 crashes evry 20min, etc...
version no.2 doesn't have videocall, msn chat, office, etc...
version no.3 is the best of all but still hasn't got a videocall function. this can be fixed with the cab provided in the topic (link), etc..."
again, i hope noone is offended by my post.
i trully appriciate all your work, but i just think that it needs to be just a little bit organised. all that hard work and sleepless nights of the authors, need to be a little more easy to read.
thanks in advanced for your time and your understanding!

wm6 professional ala wm5 pocket pc
wm6 standard ala wm5 smartphone
this is the new naming convention used by M$
there is PDAVIET rom, helmis rom leo's rom and probably rom released by couple of other people
i guess the reason why you see different nomenclature used for the rom is because all rom makers usually work independently.(though i really like your idea)
as for some app being incompatible with one given rom... well i guess i have seen some people claiming that a particular rom broke an application while some one else will say that it works...and frankly speaking the rom makers can not update their bug log just because one guy claims so...

The link is concering the discussion on the what you called professional rom, the do or don't release of HTC wm6 build for the Universal and the hesitating behaviour of many rebranders.
it`ll get easier
The forum is diverse, this is a good thing, just a little confusing at first.
Also, as i understand it, english isn`t always the first language of all it`s members.(but all who post,post in english, for which i am profoundly grateful )
Goodluck neighbour....
I Agree with HewLit...
ordering them with tags like
[OS][author][version] would make it way easier to find new releases...

Wonderings and some questions

Hey,
I'm relatively new to the whole pocket pc rom scene specially on the HTC Universal since I just recently bought one.
I'm usually a very curious person so I have a few of questions that I couldn't find a clear answer by looking around the forum. Maybe someone can help me out. Some of them may be obvious to you but not to me.
1. Where do the cooked source rom come from? Where are they extracted from?
2. Why don't we use roms from other HTC devices (or just change drivers and such)? Aren't they supposed to be relatively the same hardware?
3. How come some roms are more stable than others? What's the difference besides the included software? Does the person who created the cooked rom actually go into the OS code and edit it or is it just a driver combination trial and error?
4. What are the current main problems with HTC Universal WM6 roms besides the video call? I noticed that stability has improved but I actually wonder why since it's supposed to be the same operating system.
Thanks!

HTC Home

Hi,
This is my first post here. Please excuse me if I post in the wrong section, or if this is already asked.
I am borrowing a brand new HTC TyTN II, and I see this have a nice new Today screen with a big digital clock, a link to favourite persons, etc.
I think this might be called HTC Home, because it dissapears if I uncheck this in the Today Items list.
Question is:
- Is this an application that can be downloaded somewhere and installed on othe HTC devices?
- Will this only work on WM6 devices, or also on my old HTC P3600 WM5 device?
- If this is not possible to download, but embedded in the ROM, is there any easy way to "extract" this from the device I borrow? (could this be a CAB file that is in some hidden area on the phone)
Could someone please help me with these questions, or refer me to some links where this have already been discussed
Br,
Grim

Thanks for your answer.
I have downloaded and tested that several "Helmi" versions works OK on both my semidefekt (no sound/camera due to the fact that I have ripped those out to use on another phone) I-mate Jamin (with QTEK ROM) and my HTC P3600.
Both the 3 tab and 6 tab versions worked. For my P3600 all features seemed to work. Great!
Only some more questions about this:
a) The link you gave me contained a lot of pages, and a lot of sub links to other posts and versions. In fact it seems that there is very many versions of this plugin lying around on your and other similar sites.
It would be very nice if this tool could be added in the CAB archives page with a new clean post that lists what is the newest and most current version, and what version is for what phone, as it is quite difficult to follow all these pages lying around in the forum (which also is the reason why I reply in this post rather than in one of the many other existing ones).
Would this be something you eminent persons would consider?
b) I tried both the Helmi 3/6 tab versions and the Kaiser 5 tab versions. None of the Kaiser versions worked on my Imate JAmin/P3600, but I assume this is because the Kaiser versions obviously is intended for a different type of phone (or maybe it is WM6 they are intended for?)
Is this true?
c) If not, do these versions have any features that the Helmi versions don't have?
d) I tried these versions of the "Helmi" editions:
- HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab (with the extra SDK_CERT.cab),
- HTCHomeWM56Tab.cab
- HtcHome6_WM5_comp.cab
They all had slightly different file sizes, and contained a bit different number of files/reg keys. So my question is: What is the newest and most stable version? (which version should I use?)
e) Are there other versions than these that are newer/better for the above mentioned phones?
As you see, I got a bit confused about all these pages. I got it working, so that is great, but if someone would bother to clarify these issues, and maybe even make a sticky post or add it to the CAB vaults, that would be even more great!

Need advice on WM6 ROM

Hello my friends,
I picked up my HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA) yesterday, and I want to modernize it with the latest software. I've spent all day (since 9AM, it's not about 9PM) reading these forums, and I'm insanely confused, probably due to the fact that I'm reading stuff from different times.
I need my wizard to have the following:
-WM6
-Reliable Wi-Fi (i.e. no wifi bugs in the rom)
-Super Reliable phone, working with Rogers Canada (i.e. REALLY no bugs in the phone functionality)
-Bluetooth with A2DP
-TouchFlo capability
-Mobile Office (2007 would be cool, but I'll settle for 2003)
-Preferably free of all t-mobile junk
-MP3 and video player
-Ability to install other software
I am currently using a t-mobile ROM, version 2.26.10.2 WWE and Windows Mobile 5.1.195 Build 14955.2.3.0. I would like to back up this ROM before starting. I read something about putting in on an SD card, but that was I'll need to keep a mini-SD card just for the backup. In there any way to dump the data into a file that can be stored on the PC (even to the point of dumping it to an SD card and using linux's dd function to create a file on the hard drive)?
My device is SIM unlicked (I'm using a t-mobile device with Canada's Rogers), not sure about a CID unlock.
I ask for links to most recent ROMs that would fit what I'm looking for as well as most recent tutorials. I'm nowhere near the point of trying to create my own ROM, so a kitchen is out of the question. Maybe later.
Help appreciated. Thanks.
This is where you should start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831
Follow that and Dr. P's thread. If you can't follow those guides, don't attempt to install a custom ROM on your phone.
Read it already. It doesn't make suggestions as to which ROM to use though.
There are already tons of "which ROM should I use?" threads, and the consensus from all of them is: read about each ROM and then try the one you like the best.
There are no "more recent" upgrading threads. The link I posted and Dr. P's guide are the best. Those guides are meant to explain how to unlock a phone, not which ROM to use.
Follow those guides, unlock your phone, and then experiment with the different ROMs. Oh, and one other thing: before you even attempt to mess with your phone, spend a few days looking around and reading. Trying to read, absorb, and understand all of the posted wisdom on these boards in 12 hours just isn't possible. I spent 4 to 5 days reading and taking notes before I did anything to my phone.
Alright, I see where you're going with this. I'll take a look around, if anything, I'll post back here. Thanks.

I'm in need of some assistance

Hello, I'm new here.. actually the previous owner of the phone sent me here. Well in summary, I brought a HTC Tilt from someone and they had PDA Corner Ultimate with this on it (R 1.70.19.09 G25.83.40.02 h D 3. Abusalza). Now I have no clue what that all means but I like the phone. First off once I get the IE homepage and type anything in the search part, the website is tiny (unable to read). i tried adjusting the text size and still the same thing. Then it will not allow me to select what I'm searching for (i.e. search- yahoo messenger, bring up the site but I can not select it or go to the page). Next it started acting weird by putting 5s in the address bar (on its own). I've been looking throught this site, trying and hoping that I will find something to help. I may have bypast it (too tired now). Can someone help me figure this out? I also would like to flash WM6.5 on here. i read the tut for that but was wondering do I have to remove the stuff thats on here first? Thank you and feel free to ask me more about this.
Hello my friend.
First, read up a bit on your device, visit the xda wiki, search for tilt and do some reading before you do anything daft.
You arent ready to flash yet. Understand your device a bit and how it works, then when your ready have a play
Visit the wiki here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TiltSpecificWikiPage
Have fun
I had to step away and take a break. No offence but I'm still lost. On the other hand I'm still reading up on this. i think i might just start from scratch. I'm looking inthe phone to see what programs like and post it on the thread where I can get a custom ROM.
the att tilt is the att variant of the htc kaiser (the only difference is the keyboard layout which may need to be fixed depending on the rom source.. you will just need to install a cab), check the kaiser rom section. As for a recommended 6.5 rom, its a person opinion, but i use anryls Roms.. and for you i would recommend the 21500 rev6 build (i have been having corruption problems with all the 21501 versions) To warn you though, 6.5 is not finished and there for not completly stable.... for example the camera does not work with htc menu enhancement (its a driver issue)
Like i said if you wanna look around for yourself sheck the kaiser rom section.
hope that helps,
Joel
