Any reason to ditch orange CAB for HTC? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Hi,
Have searched and looked and cannt see any real reasons for sticking the HTC cab on.
But have I missed something please and would benefit from changing to the HTC one?
Oh, its a whole lot smaller than my Universal!
Thanks,
Simon.

Do you mean ROM, rather than CAB?
If so, there seems to be very little difference between them in overall performance. I would disable the orange homescreen plug in though.

at this time there is a issue with the kaiser being SIM locked out of the orange network when flashing the HTC shipped rom or any other cooked rom so I wouldnt do it. Search and you will see what I'm talking about

TouchFlo ROM on Kaiser?

Hi,
Does anyone know if someone is creating a TouchFlo ROM for the Kaiser? I've seen the ones developed for the Wizard and Hermes which are very cool but I doubt either of these would work on a Kaiser.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
First we need to bypass bootloader protections to flash unsigned code, then doing the ROM with htc home plugin & elf skinning will be a matter of minutes.
in the new ROM (with gps activated ) it seem HTC have put much of Touch\Elf.....

Can you elaborate on this. Which features are already present?
I haven't seen or used the HTC Touch yet but I haven't found anything different in the Kaiser thusfar (and my GPS is enabled as TomTom is working fine)
last beta ROM yesterday delivered have scroll effect
Kaiser Beta ROM
My pre-production Kaiser is going to be arriving in the next couple of days.. is it possible for me to upgrade it to the latest beta ROM, and where can i get it from? or is it stuck to the pre-installed ROM.
Thanks
Syrius

It all depends on the unit itself wether its sim, cid, or both unlocked. My unit is locked to UK Tmobile and wont accept any other roms such as cingular n etc. Luckily the T-Mobile in UK announced the Kaiser to be available in August. Hopefully a rom gets leaked soon so I cna bring mine to life ...O

Rom-version 1.49.172.2 Dutch:
in Settings/System/ there is an option called TouchFLO.
With it you can do the following:
(translated from Dutch) Turn sound on when horizontally and vertically sliding finger.
(for Dutchmen: Geluid bij horizontaal en verticaal verschuiven met vinger inschakelen)
Don't really think it's that fancy, and I haven't gotten in to work yet, maybe when playing an MP3
Kurgann:
Did you buy it in NL? and if so where? My supplier says they wont be available for sale until end of Sept.

Tytn II comes with TouchFlo
Yes, I got mine today and the touchflo technology is integrated. unfortunately not the cube.
Tried the cube alpha but only get black screen. so we have to wait until it is "opened" and roms can be cooked. Then I think its easier to integrate than in the hermes...
it works for me but it's far from perfect, works with the button and I have to reinitialize it after each time it's going to standby and back so I'm so surprised with the replay that it works with the finger slide.

i have no idea

hi.. i have a htc 8125 wizard, and i want to install wm6 to it, but i dont know what to do, yesterday i follow the cid unlock turtorial, mine is a G3, i want a good wm6 rom... if i could be original one of htc it would be great i need some help please, which one is the best for my wizard
I have an 8125 and I've tried a few... the NBD v. 9.1 not only looks nice, but comes with all the toys you'd want on it. It's also the only one that so far hasn't rebooted, froze, or basically not worked right. All the others gave me problems. NBD is stable, I hear less complaints from that compared to Black Diamond, for instance.
Here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325284
There's no official WM6 for the Wizard. Just follow the Wiki to know how to unlock your phone, then READ to choose which Rom suits your needs...
Read each one in this forum before you try. I looked them over and the best one i like was Touch No Evil. And I'm truly pleased. Was Decent in speed even without overclocking.
Went from a Molski Biz Wm5 rom. Faria makes popular roms too.
Just read each one.
You should give TNT5.0 a try. There are 3 different versions available for download. I personally have the touchflo edition installed on my phone and love it.
Please modify your thread name to better reflect your problem.
That way maybe more people may help you.
Also, please don't start a new "Which rom is the best" thread, as this has been asked too many times and you will only get different opinions. Try and see what you like, don't let others tell you that.
thans a lot
thanks a lot people, the only think that i dont understand is if this roms are based on WINDOWS MOBILE 6 or are modifed from WINDOWS MOBILE 5.... i want only wm6 thanks a lot..
As already said, WM6 was never officially released for the Wizard, so all the Custom Roms are based on other devices' WM6 Roms, and thus have a few bugs...
tmda?
in the unlock guides i see a wizards love and other tmda roms, for what is those? i think them are wm6 but that wizard love is so slow im tryin farias ripght know and i like it but its a little slow... another thing when i use windowws live it copy all my messenger contacts to the phone and all my mobile phone numbers dissapear thanks a lot.please i neeed one like Schap's 3.60a rom for hermes.. thanks a lot guys....
*SIGH* Just READ guy!
java
hi again guys i have some problems executing a software java that uses bluetooth, any idea how can i fix it thanks a lot....

Worth Flashing Vario III to HTC ROM ??

From what I have read it looks like AT&T have hacked the HTC rom quite a bit and it is worthwhile flashing. With T-Mobile however it seems like most things are roughly the same (has HTC home, comm manager etc)
I have installed Quick GPS / live search / messenger etc via cabs.
Is it worth it yet or should I wait for a cooked rom?
Also out of interest, if I do flash to the HTC rom how is it with all the connection details ?? Do I need to re-add all the SMS center number and Web access details etc ???
I flashed mine from uk t-mobile to austinsync's clean htc rom 2 weeks ago and it's fine.Put sim card in a message popped up saying "click here to download t-mobile uk settings", and voicemail/sms/mms settings were all configured automatically.The rom is much faster than the original and slightly more storage space too.
anyone flashed from the t-mobile uk rom to the standard HTC one?? if so is there actually anything to gain / loose by doing so ?
I am also keen to know which is the better option with these ROM's?
Having gone from an Artemis to the Kaiser, I am keen to address the standard t-mobile rom with something similar to one of the cooked ROMs that was available for the Artemis?
Does anyone have the T-mobile ROM in case a repair was needed after installing a cooked ROM?
(sorry if this comes across as a Hi-jack not meant to be just question popped into my head)
Yesterday, I've replaced my dutch T-Mobile rom, with one of the cooked ones you'll find on the forum. The Vario feels much snappier now. I know the tmo rom is relatively clean, but still, there is a performance benefit.

T-mobile ROM or HTC ROM plus other questions!

Hi all i have been using pda phones for a long time and have followed this website for quite a while...
I have an obsession for these kind of phones...so today i upgraded my phone from vario to the new vario 3.
One of the first things i plan to do is flash the ROM/Radio (not to good with the terminology).
i was wondering what people think of the t-mobile rom ENG or any other versions of it and whether i would be better off using the original htc one...i wasnt really fond of the rom for the vario.
also i havent flashed a phone in a long long time (last time was for my mda compact which was nearly 2/3 years ago!)..so i wanted to ask is there anything i should know? i have been reading the threads and i wanted to know which version of the hard spl should i use because there are several different stickies with difference hard spl
Can you update the radio serparatly from the rom? or can you do them both at the same time? and also which radio and rom would you recommend?
and also where can i learn to understand what exactly rom/radio/ext rom are exactly..i have a respectable idea of what they are but jus wanna make sure i know what im doing before i do it..
and also what does dumping a rom do?
thanks for your help
sorry if these questions have already been asked!

I've got no problems with it, actually. Sure, there's a few tweaks need installing, but I don't think there's anything serious enough to risk changing the ROM for - the device hasn't been out long enough for people to make any significant additions to it and as far as I know, there aren't any official upgrades out yet.
I've stuck the MoDaCo Vario III de-brand on, to change the icons back to sensible colours, then picked up other tweaks from this site and MoDaCo.
Easier than a ROM flash, reversible, and risk-free.
Before you rush off and flash a new ROM, ask yourself what you're actually trying to accomplish.

Any particular tweaks that you would recommend here or the modaco website?
was trying to get rid of some of the bloatware that i didnt want that t-mobile provides..but i will take ur advice and not rush into it..will wait for a month or two before i start prying around...
plus the skin/today/theme/front page (dont know what it is but it surely has to be one of those) of the htc rom and orange rom looks cool!
do you know where i can get that from?
i.e. these ones htc
(http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devices/review/2007/08/10/HTC-P4550-Kaiser-Smartphone/p3)
and orange (where it says software)
(http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2007/09/07/htc_tytn_ii_review)
ps thanks for ur help and advice
im at work so it wont let me check the modaco website...but i will check it out when i get home
The T-Mobile ROM is about as near to the HTC one as an operator ROM is ever likely to get. The only piece of un-needed bloat was a trial version of F-Prot Antivirus; which takes a few seconds to uninstall. Even de-branding it is a pretty short job, as for once they haven't splashed pink everywhere.
The VarioIII rom from t-mob is actually very good... been using it for a few weeks, and feel no need to flash the 'proper' htc one...
tmob seem to have learnt to leave well alone... finally

cheers for ur advise u guys
any tweaks in particular u would recommend i have seen the scha'p's advanced configuration tool im gonna use that...anything else?
The first tweak I'd recommend is Paul's Debrand that I mentioned in my previous post. Gets rid of a lot of the pink and switches back to nice Windows colours.
The Trusted Mobiles picture looks like it's using the Windows Default theme.
If you tap Start, Settings, Today then Windows Default, hit OK and return to the Today screen. Should look pretty similar.
Go back to that page again and tap the Items tab at the bottom. The giant widget with the clock is the HTC Home plugin. All I've got on my Today screen are that (modified) and the Calendar.
To modify the HTC Home plugin, head over to http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html and download the HTC Home Customizer. This is a fantastic app. Poke around the site, find the themes you want, then download, install and configure it.
The other biggie you'll want is the Kaiser Tweak. Have a read through that thread, but it's fairly self explanatory once you run it.
That should give you a start, anyway. Enjoy!

Voice command is too low and hard to understand!!!

Hi guys and gals.
I could not find anything on this issue. I was wanting to know if there is a way to make the voice less like a robot and make it louder. I have poor hearing and the voice seems pretty 1985 if you know what I mean. I have the fuze P4600 I and am running the WM 6.1 . Or should I wait till 6.5 comes out officially, or is there a cooked rom that already adresses this issue. by the way, I have a mad respect for yall.
Presume it is cooked into the ROM as it is part of WM6.1 from MS. Have you checked your system volume setting to see if it is turned all the way up?
Yes I have the volume all the way up. Do any of the cooked roms deal with this issue that you know of. Thats kinda why I wondered if the new 6.5 might have something different. I gotta tell you, I was ready to give up my fuze until this forum walked me through the .NET frame work and I was able to start customizing apps and tweeking my phone. It truly is super customizable. My warranty runs out in Dec. so I dont want to try a new cooked rom just yet. I am hoping wm6.5 will work on my fuze. Thanks to all who devote time and headaches to making the fuze a better phone. Also what exactly will I lose if I get rid of bloatware. and will it make the internet faster? Sorry but I'm a newb if you cant tell. So type slowly so I can understand
