Hi there, i been looking through the forums and i am wanting to flash the phone with a new rom.
I currently have the Orange UK Rom and after installing all the HTC theme, homescreen, touchflow cube i have noticed the performance of the phone dropping so i guess what i am after is a rom with all of this on a standard rom or is there a ROM that someone can recommend me to use?
Thanks in advance
No one will tell you the best rom for your phone, you need to try them to find out which works best for you.
A lot of the ROM cooks have moved here from Hermes and Wizard and produce some great roms so most will work on your phone. May of these are optimised for the US market, so I prefer Schaps (on Hermes and Kaiser) which, for me, appears to be optimised as a rom without country or carrier specific additions and I can then customise to suit.
If your phone is Orange UK then it is probably SIM and CID locked to Orange. SIM lock is easy to check by trying SIM cards from other peoples phones. If you intend to stay with Orange then you don't need to unlock the SIM to upgrade the ROM but you will probably need to unlock the CID and possibly (depending on ROM) need to upgrade the radio.
You can CID unlock by using HardSPL - and this is a MUST to prevent heartache if you are upgrading radios.
But before you go any further do a lot of reading about the relationship between Roms/radios/CID/SIM/SPL etc and also read the threads for each rom before you flash it.
And dont flash a rom that has a radio in it. It will SIM lock your Orange device. You must SIM unlock your phone (no free way to do this yet) before flashing to a different radio version.
I'm using Dutty's No.6 with CF 3.5 and it works a treat on a simlocked Orange UK handset.
thanks for your help, i will take a look at the rom that you are using!
i am getting a 260 error when trying to use Hard SPL, any idea what this is or how to solve this?
*subscription added*
interested in seeing and learning about this. Ive just recently got my Tytn II upgrade on orange and would like to unlock its full potential.
after about 5 hours of trying to search for a solution, i attempted the Hard SPL on a different pc and it worked first time, so guessing its my pc that is at fault for the error. After sorting that out, i flashed the phone with the Schaps_WM6Pro_Kaiser_4.22_WWE_Full ROM and so far so good! really happy with this ROM. Only thing i did not do was backup the orange ROM, does anyone know where i can find this in case i need to go back to the standard ROM?
Ive just flashed with the exact same ROM as you. Have you noticed, theres no voice dialing icon?
either that or ive forgotten where it was! but it used to be easily spotted. I need that function cos im a driver by trade and this phone is too complicated to use even at the wheel (which id never do! )
help me get back my voice dialing!
oh and another thing, i cant even figure out how to get my SIM contacts back onto the phone!! (ive only had it 1 day thou)
I'm not too sure what you mean? are you talking about the function that the button on the top left side of the phone?
Also for contacts, i sync my contacts on my pc with outlook before the flash and sync it again after the flash to get all the contacts back onto my phone
ive managed to figure out the contacts, it just started reading from the SIM again.......
but the voice dialing is defo missing. You can set a voice tag by holding down on a contacts name so the menu pops out, but the Add Voice tag... option isnt there no more. I believe this ROM doesnt have it, thats my only explanation. I might have to flash over it again but i dont have the original one no more.
im gonna give Kaiser AKU.0.7.0 Cooked ROM a try, it has Cyberon Voice SpeedDial=1_2_b070717_0 which is what i think i need.
Ooh, so far this looks like the thread I need to be reading.
I will have another go at doing this CID thingy with Hard SPL.
Then i'll try the same ROM as you. I don't need the voice dialling so that shouldn't be a problem.
BTW, does anyone know how much actual memory the TyTNII has? There is another thread where the guy says his ROM has 900Mb of maps on it. I didn't think there was that much storage?
Thanks for your help!

I've created a ROM package for the Orange UK ROM which can be used to restore it to its original state, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1709983&postcount=10
You only need to put back SPL 1.81 AFTER flashing my ROM, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 for instructions on how to do that.

Orange rom is very bad. when you click on "goto" (main screen) and try to change your wallpaper by personalising, device gets stuck. i have this brand new phone and showed it to the orange store and they change my device but still the same problem.
i show them again and they want to swop it to another one again. (funny right) so remember to goto ornage "goto" menu (bottom left of the main screen) and try to change the wallpaper, when you need to cancel your contact or claim warrenty. (every ornage kaiser will get stuck 100% sure)
thanks to our graduate pof i have done the hard spl on my orange kaiser and now it is ready to flash the hybird rom. far better than orange rom.
Gah!
I really want to get home and set up my PC to get this done!
I'm using my MacBook Pro atm and I don't think you can use the TyTN II with it.
Really annoyed at Orange though for crippling my phone.
haha orange prob done the worst job on this phone compared to all the other networks

Mines been working a treat today. The voice dialing is back on the phone, it works just like it did before. The phone functions are all there (well from what i can remember after only 1 day of original use!)
All i need now is someone to be so kind as to show me where i can get a GPS software with maps for my phone gratis
hey guys, i just did my 1st rom and radio flash.
im on a contract with 3 in australia..
rom..EnergyROM Series 2.0 with Final Rhodium Manila** ||Build 32209
radio..1.12.25.19 and im loving the new look..
however.. i lost my 3 (3g company/ carrier) tab..u know, the tab with the 3 symbol on it so when u press it, u can find out how much u have spent, ur pack and all that other stuff..3 content page..
just wondering is there any way of getting it onto this rom i have..without going back to the stock rom?? or can i just type in the address to get to that page?? i dont know the address btw..
I'm not 100% sure if you can get the 3 tab back on (im sure theres a way to do it i just dont know how) but in the mean time if you want to access your account you can login via your computer (most probably through your phone aswel) at http://care.three.com.au/

yeah i know about using the computer to check out my acc details, however i like the 3 tab cause i can access all my user packs like sports and movies.. also its easier to check my acc balance on the phone with a single touch..
Hey thats the rom im using, im on three as well.
all i do is go to the home page http://three.net.au/ (from the phone) at the bottom it has a link to my account.
that 3 tab was horrible in the original rom.
hey how are you finding the 1.12.25.19 radio with signal? im using a earlier version that has the best signal range, much better than the standard one anyway (im 20 mins from the Melb CBD)

My Touch Pro is a uk vodafone branded one, their branding of the TP absolutely sucks so, like my Kaiser, I have customised it.
However, I can't quite get it where I want it which is effectively the stock htc theme *.tsk and TF3D with the 'globe' internet tab, 'green' toggles on the comm manager and green highlight focus.
I have installed LantisOS TF3D with HD Contracts which gives me everything but the above mentioned.
I have searched and searched on this site but cannot quite find the tweaks that I would like. I don't want to flash another ROM as this is beyond my capability, I tried a number of routes to get what I want, I have tried;
tlr-manila
12aeon manila
Both do the same as the Lantis OS TF3D, they don't modify the internet tab or the comm manager or the highlight focus.
I have also tried using a theme installing using Diamond TF3D Config, still the same issue. I have also tried the following programmes too;
manila customizer
uitweak
Still the same
So, any help would be much appreciated beer tokens can be made available too.
Flashing a new rom is easier than it sounds. The guys here make things much more difficult than they actually are. I have the Vodafone TP and am using NATF's Standard 4.7 ROM. I followed these instructions to flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Agreed. My Touch Pro is my first WinMo device & I've only had it for 2 months. It must be on its 7th or 8th custom rom by now. Just dooooo it!
Take it step by step & you won't have a hassle - HardSPL -> Custom ROM -> new radio/rilphone.dll & you're sorted. Just don't flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA device and vice versa & you'll be fine.
Thanks for the help chaps, will have a look.
Ok, have decided for the moment not to change the ROM so still looking for help please.
Hi,
I have a vodafone branded HTC - though I didn't get it from vodafone.
I use ROMeOS and that gives me the "normal" touchflo tab buttons (though I now use IphoneToday)
I'm only a noob and I managed to flash my phone following those instructions (make sure you backup your stuff though) Plus I'm a girl, so it must be easy!

Not to worry, acceptance IS after all the first step. You're well on your way. If you pop down to the southern bit of Africa, I'll guide you through the process.
It's really not that big a deal and it adds the novelty of having a 'new' phone every couple of weeks. Just read up a bit in the ROMs forum and once you feel comfortable, then read some more. And if something does go awry don't freak out - there are a lot of smart chaps on this forum.
Case in point: Day after I got mine I hurriedly flashed a Touch HD radio to the phone. Suffice it to say that the phone didn't appreciate this much & I feared I sorted myself a very expensive paperweight. But after I dug out the trusty Nokia N95 and popped on here to READ some more, I got it sorted again.
Then again, I only made the mistake because I didn't read enough beforehand.
*DISCLAIMER*
Although I am encouraging you to take the plunge, please don't hold me personally responsible if you do c#$k up your phone... Oh, and get the stock ROM/SPL downloaded as well. If something does mess up, or you need to return the phone for warranty purposes you can easily revert back to factory spec.
So, after selling my x7501, about 3 years ago, I have had the HTC Touch Pro (unlocked), HTC Touch Pro 2 (Tmobile US), & now the HTC HD2 (Tmobile US) - don't get me wrong, they were all great devices in their on right, but I was much, much happier & productive with my x7501. & with those devices I still have 2 carry a netbook - not 2 mention all the freezing & resetting i am dealing with with my HD2 - such a headache! in order 2 get back to my "happy place" I am in the process of ordering an x7510!
Question: Can someone tell me what's the maximum size memory card it supports??
Double post
it depends what rom you use (my one has the latest drivers/build ), 16gb card works. (haven't tried 32gb)
Thank you!! I'm sorry for the double post i hit the back browser by mistake & couldn't figure out how to delete one - but thank you for replying, I appreciate it!
I notice in your signature line you have WM6.5, is it easy to upgrade from 6.1?

You can't 'upgrade', its like a 'full instalation' , it does a hard rest and so you lose your data. Also you need to change your stock SPL to a hard SPL found in the sticky.
i guess i will have 2 try it when i receive my phone, before i load anything.
i hope the process is painless, i've never did a full install before.
on that thread will it give me information & warnings on what to look out for? will i loose any valuable programs thats already installed on the phone?
You can always revert if you don't like it, no problem.
Hey, chellie, good to see an 'old' new X7510 user.
It's very simple to change your ROM.
First of all, read this thread about Hard-SPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441684
After that, just select the ROM that you want. We have few 'chefs' here. So there are few options, but all of them are making good ROMs.
The new one is from Vico100.
Unfortunately, 6.5.x does not support RealVGA (if you don't know about this app, search it here on xda. It is a real new life for X7510 to make it as a wonderful netbook).

Thank you hiroshi.rio.
I owned a x7501 previously, but I used it stock.
With purchasing the x7510, I may just do the same, I am way to nervous to dry to change or update the ROMs - I have no experience in doing so, and I don't wanna mess anything up
I appreciate the information and I will look at the recommended forum and take in as much info as I can.
So updating the system or changing it to RealVGA makes it more like a netbook? That sounds interesting, I have to look into that.
First I'd like to say I don't think this is the right place for my question but I cant post where I think it should go so hopefully somebody here can help me.
I want to put custom rom onto my nokia lumia 710 but dont know which would be the best on to use I've seen three so far in my looking around the site the RainbowMod, metro^7 rom, Lumiatrix 4.2 ROM. I like the look of the RainbowMod from the video on youtube that I'm not aloud to link, but I want to know from somebody that has experience with custom roms to give me some advice on which one to go for. I haven't unlocked my phone yet plan on doing this to night or tomorrow when ever I get some time to sit and do it without been called away in the middle of doing it.
Also from the look of the video I linked it looks like you can install apps from different marketplaces is this right and if it is can this be done with all custom roms???
Any other advice you can give me or links to the best tuts on each step so I don't follow a sub par tut by not knowing the best place to look for one.
Thanks in advance
Pacina
Can nobody here give me any advice I was told this was the best site for this type of thing:laugh: I'm guessing not
So basically even the old HD2 has WM7 Roms and I tried all of them.
You are right with a custom ROM you can download everywhere else too, some Roms are unlocked already and your windows nokia 710 will be just great.
First of all a backup off your stuff will be good because you will lose everything on your phone then.
And I think you will need the activation key for your phone again after that.
