hey before anyone starts flaming me for no search i wanted to apologise beforehand. I did search, this is all foreign to me. I have an mda, interested in the windows mobile 6 platform but theres a few questions i had.
1 being is the processor fast enough to handle the os or is it gonna be even laggier than it is now?
and 2 is there any step by step how to guide from begining to end (with photos preferably), just taking your plain ole out of the box mda and putting windows mobile 6 on it. all this kitchen and cooking and frying, tornados and crossbow code talk doesnt make sense to me. thanks so much for reading, I dont mean to be a newbie about all this stuff, I just want someone who knows what theyre doing to tell me what its all about.
Welcome to the wonderful world of MDA flashing! Ok so you want to take your MDA and load WM6 on it. That is what we reffer to as "flashing, " so anytime you hear someone talk about flashing their device to "Core," "Pandora" or "Crossbow" they mean they are changing the operating system to that paticular "version" of WM6. They are all based off (more or less) the same WM6 ROM but just tweaked with some useful apps, and registry changes. Read about them in the XDA-Wiki page. As far as learning how to flash, there's a "sticky" (a post that remains on the first page) entitled "Howto flash a Wizard... a little tutorial!" Just follow that word for word and you should be fine. It's easy if you just follow the instructions and don't try to jump ahead. Good luck!
follow these directions.. and you should have no problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613. WM6 seems to be a big upgrade.. so i suggest it.. then take a look and see which new ROM you want.. there are many.. if you want just basics you want a Vanilla ROM, i reccomend ANTC's WM6 Professional 3.0.. or if you want fully loaded try Pandora (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310530) or Faria (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762). give it a whirl.. and if you need help, don't hesitate to IM or PM me.

awesome thanks so much for your help guys. I have a g4 mda, and from what I know i dont have to CID unlock it. im just trying to figure all this out. I dont think its as easy as downloading the rom utility update and downloading the rom... theres a million different tutorials and I dont know which one is the most current or the best. keep the replys coming though i appreciate it.

The group does a pretty good job of updating the info as new stuff gets released. Like I said earlier, most of your basic questions will be answered in the XDA-WIKI
see my signature, that's how it should work, no need for CID unlocking
the only "issue" with an G4 is that you only can flash the OS itself.

cooool, so i got it flashed after trying a million times, but i finally found a version that works, I keep getting errors here and there. last time i flashed it was giving me a checkautorun.exe error. I just flashed farias rom, and when I was doing it with shelltool my mda displayed a few errors which i just pushed ok. also after flashing, i get a dos app thats cmd.exe that i just close and right after i close that, shelltool says its done. it wont say its done UNLESS i close cmd.exe. also having big problems with the contacts. every time i push the contacts button, it never opens. any suggestions?
just got an error that said unexpected error occured in shell attempting to restart.
Are you unlocking your phone first? It might be easier for you to do if you find an unlocking utility for a g4.. or pay the 40 bucks to IMEI-check.com
nope no unlocking. no more silly errors, the only thing i cant do is open my contacts, (or sync them) it just says a device by that name already exists on this maching and i have to rename or be guest. im gonna reflash and see if it helps any. now does anyone know if when using shelltool i need to go back to the original tmo rom and do all that hooplah or can i just flash it like it is now?
I dont understand why you can't open your contacts... do this.. check 'settings' in start menu under 'system' and see if there is a application called 'softkeys' if there is then click on it and see if there is a \contacts.lnk path under the 'Contact'
i dont see contact.
nope, looked in windows folder where all the other .ink files are, and contacts.ink is not there.
it's actually not directly in the windows folder it's in 'windows\appbuttons'
Sorry, I was assuming you looked directly in the 'windows' folder..
ok found it. doing a soft reset now to see if it works...
keep me posted.
well its still doing the same thing... i push the contacts, the start button displays contacts for a second, theres an x in the corner then it just goes back to the normal screen.
hmn.. thats weird.. what happens when you go to 'contacts' from your start menu?
same. well see. I really like the wm6 os. Ive never flashed anything or messed with any phone, so this is all very new to me. I wish there was someone else that flashed a g4 without unlocking it first... grrr. heres something funny, sometimes when I restart it shows the GSM version other times its blank... I dont really care if I brick this phone, last week it was acting up and tmo is sending me a replacement. this was back before i was starting to mess with it, so i got a replacement on the way. lets hope its a g3
Mine does the same thing, sometimes it shows GSM sometimes it doesnt.. Thats pretty common. Yeah I paid to unlock mine, so I have no idea when it comes to a locked device.,

1.) Read Dutty's thread. Search for HTC Home Customizer....
2.) Read post #2 in Dutty's thread of why you have no sound Probably because you haven't upgraded your radio.
what about a working homescreen customizer?

i had the same problem...
1/ you need to use Total Command to move your HTC Home from the root directory to "Program Files".
2/ uninstall & Reinstall HTC Home custom
3/ Launch HTC HC and customize
It should work. Anyway, i just encounter a problem.. Your favorite contacts will be removed after a reboot.
oh well, need to do a search on this... good luck..
This one works great for me.

Try this for a search option. However even the xda-dev search should have yielded an answer for the radio issue!

is there a trick to getting the customizer work on windows 6.1 dutty
I hate admitting when I do something stupid, but it took me hours to figure out how to get the Home Customizer to work. I kept reading about how you have to move the Home Customizer to the "Program Files" directory. But it was already in that directory.
When I finally READ the post, instead of just skimming it, it said move the "HTC HOME" directory to the "Program Files" directory. I did that using Total Commander. It finally worked.
One small detail missed, cost me hours of research.
On the plus side, I did find some more cool stuff.
Edit: And I have the Dutty 6.1 installed

congrats on figuring it out. Unfortunately, I have been known to skim as well. Learned the hard way though. It's all good. Learning experience.
Hi all,
I've seen others looking for this here, and while looking for something else, found a large VGA HTC Home in an Athena AX7510 ROM. I've extracted it from the Athena's OEMAPPS package and created a separate package with the relevant registry entries.
http://rapidshare.com/files/128346384/PJC_HTCHome.rar ---- OEM Package
http://rapidshare.com/files/128745613/PJC_HTCHome.cab --- CAB Installation
Note 1 - CAB Updated 08/07/10 - fixed "single tab" issue with some ROMs.
Note 2 - No Media player yet - looking into that now...
Note 3 - WARNING - the CAB is unsigned, and apparently this means that on some ROMs it won't install correctly.
-PJC
download then, and waiting for master
Hi pjc007,
You may try QuickCab by fellow xda developer IABovine. Hope it works, haven't tried it yet.
Does this htc home solves freezing issues in UNI?
Hi
I would be very happy to test it soon as someone can convert it in a .cab file
But I´ve tried a lot of ROM´s and several different htc home applications and always the same, when I recieve a call my UNI freezes imediatly.
I´ll wait for more comments
Cheers
Gracias

If all icons are missing the likelihood is the CAB couldn't update your registry properly (it isn't "signed") -- it's working as stated on my ROM (based on Tomal V7.7) which has security checking disabled.

I took it from the Ahtena X7510 ROM, but as with ALL versions of HTC Home, it likely will use a large amount of memory.
(I'm looking into something else at the moment, so can't check).

hmmm strange im using tomal v7.7 and v8.0 hard reset doesn't work i think the only solution is to reflash my uni.

Hmmmmm - I got the chance to test on a different ROM, and saw the same as you. HTC Home Customizer let me bring the other tabs back, and after a soft reset, it worked fine.
Let me know if you want HHC uploaded (I can't remember where I found it, sorry!).
-PJC
Somehow I can't get it to work. It installs fine (along with HTC Home Customiser) but it doesn't show on my today screen when I select it, even after a soft reset :/ any ideas?
No complete icons showing
Weather (and contacts) should now be working correctly. Please try the new CAB in post #1.
Let me know of any other problems.

As I mentioned earlier, I see this too with a different ROM. On further investigation, it seems that the registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHome\Tabsettings is being set to '1'.
*DELETING* this setting from the registry worked for me, and all the tabs appeared.
I'll see if I can see if there's something wrong with the CAB, and if so I'll fix it and re-upload, but you should be OK by making that registry change.

Its very closer like, this make lot of consumable memory, try to install at storage card, can do this?

Did you mean deleting this registry? or just the value of "1", in that case which number I should put?

Hi @ all,
this is my first post here, because i don't know very much about programming and developing, so i just read through the forum
My english isn't very well, so please excuse me
My question or problem is, that I would like to cut or edit a song with my Omnia.
For example, cut the first seconds and set it as ringtone, so that the song begins at a good moment.
My brother has a Htc Touch Diamond, and has such a program, its called Mp3 Trimmer, I think.
I hope you understand my request and will mention a prog, that I can use.
Thank you very much,

Perhaps a Mod can displace it. Sorry again.
Thank you for your post, but it doesnt run on my Omnia.
Is there any other program for editing tracks with a pda?
it should work on yours.....if it worked on the poster above you who also has an Omnia. does it say 'Installation failed'?

Yes, perhaps it should, but it doesnt...
No, installation doesnt fail, but he says, that it might not work right, because it is for an older version of WM.
When I try to start it, it doesnt open.
ok, it does open... for less than a second and closes again.
I reinstalled it, but it doesnt change anything.

Try a hard reset then install. The bottom of it will be cut of but it should run. I even used it to cut an mp3
If you past these two png's (contained in the zip file attached) into your windows directory then after a quick reset - the program will fit the screen properly.

I've looked everywhere for the answer, but can't seem to find it.
I am having trouble copying text messages from my SIM-card to my phone memory.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve that issue? I am using an HTC Diamond with WM6.5.
Thanks a lot.
EC
Bump for visibility.
hahahahaha I had tried this for a very long time!
Seriously it too annoying!
In the end all I could do is :
put my sim in a nokia phone
transfer messages to the phone
sent them to diamond via bt!!
Sorry for the lame solution, but there is no other way!
Asus sim manager
Asus sim manager(any version) does it
Sorry dont have .exe n other related files.

idd, there's option to copy sim msgs into device(and from device to card) there, hmm nice.
i am not sure, if it will work for HTC devices(i've added policy to cab that should allow that), but i think it should.

You can also use apps below to save the sms located on sim card & import to device.
Have done so on wm2003se wm5 wm6 wm6.1 & wm6.5 custom ROMs
i don't exactly know what you guys here are talking about...
but if its simply about copying a sms from the sim to the phone (as the title suggests) then i don't see how come no one's posted the most obvious solution i've used myself before...
just as background info to those who need to know- i'm running a com5 23569 self-cooked rom on my htc gene (p3400)
and i stumbled upon the solution to this problem you mentioned while going through one of the millions of flashes and restores we chefs go through...
all i did to copy the message onto the phone memory was open the msg to view it and then hit the left soft key to open the menu and the last option on the menu list simply reads 'copy to phone'...i tap on that and voila!! its done...
do let me know if it works coz i don't think it would be this simple and yet left untried by anyone else and requiring external apps to be installed for it to be done...

don't usually have to contend with too many messages myself...this only arises when i put my sim into a temp phone while the flashing process completes...and at worst i have 4-5 messages to contend with...
ppcpimbackup is my first pick too but i don't remember trying it out on sim messages...worth a shot though...
WOW plenty of options available! thank you guys.
