Future New HTC Raphael User

Hi!
I'm looking to get a Touch Pro as soon as my Orange contract is up (couple of weeks) - I see a lot of people saying that as soon as they got it, once they put in a decent ROM it all worked great.. question then is - I see lots of roms, but I can't see any "numpty" description of what each offers and why i'd want to use it?
Am I missing something really obvious ?
Thanks!
Matt.

Yes I think you do. Raphael has plenty of memory and stock rom is good enough with TF3D (which most of us agree that is very good and finger friendly). So needed changes are only for tweeking TF3D or remove some "un-usefull" applications.
There is no competitive phone out there to get something from.
With my Artemis I flashed meschle 's rom to have goodies from Touch, Iphone etc. With Raphael there is no need for this. I 'm satisfied with it "out of the box".
Maybe later when something new shows up.
Maybe Xperia UI. Are you listening xda experts?
My opinion.

got my fuze. Now what?

to my fellow posters,
phew, after a long time waiting, and searching; the fuze has arrived. Its a nice phone, sleek; i just wish i had the original HTC TouchFLo instead of att crap. Build quality feels a little cheap, thank god for the insurance, a relief for us whom bought a tilt when they launched with no insurance. Though i hear the deductible is steep. Had a quick time at the at&t store, when it finally got to my turn. Joseph was nice and informative. I was not given free car charger and/or case like some lucky users, though i did take a swing at it.
So its here now, so what to do now guys? What are recommended roms, and programs etc? I want this phone to do everything lol
really would like :
touch pro EURO touchflo interface(if possible)
nice browsern and all that good stuff. Lets all come together and gasp in Fuze joy! Thanks guys!

hey asad:
bro you are asking questions that are really based on individual taste. What rom is recommended could differ heavily from one user to another .. imo monx aka hung tuah's roms are pretty good. I have tried his kaiser roms they are good.
as far as changing touchflo interface you can just flash a different rom that has the euro version or wait for someone to use a att build and incorporate the euro touchpro interface etc...
I would recommend looking around and searching for various cabs. The sky is the limit !!!

I am hungry, can you please tell me what I would like to eat?
No really, that is up to you! But if you ask me, try the RomeOS 1.40 I think it works best for now!
Also maybe you should consider changing the radio for better performance!
Good luck!

this is so simple its unbelievable you didnt look this up before buying your fuze
go to the diamond forum and get tf3d configurator you can put so many themes on

Got mine today also!
I put my tilt on sale last night just in case the Fuze was out, and bought my Fuze today also. the rom is slow and sluggish I need a rom fast. The phone is cool though, a little smaller than I thought, but cool.

This works awesome also the config tool mentioned to install the theme is awesome aswell... you can remove tabs and also enable the tf3d hacks for speed

i tried a theme called vista ultimate which i liked alot but when i slide the keyboard out it doesnt go to the launcher screen it turns tf on its side but of course it doesnt work that way
how do we know which themes will actually work with our pro?

In my experience of trying them out over the past couple of weeks, most of them dont work on the Fuze in landscape mode. Hopefully that will change now that there are so many Fuzes out there!
I know Nisse has a couple that work on the Fuze so he is a good place to start. (I've been running his HTC Black theme since he released it and i like it a LOT better than the stock AT&T theme...)

In the Phone's settings, System Tab, Disable AGPS, go to External GPS, set the GPS program port to COM0.
Start up WLM, and your GPS will work perfectly

im using 02 blue that one is working so far but of course landscape is boring gray
and what must i do to make gps work with google maps it doesnt seem to find a satellite?
and im using romeos now

6.5 out for the herald

just got me a copy testing da beta lets see how she goes, hope it will be ok on me WING.
and man I cant wait til i am building roms been working on it for about 3 weeks. any who FLASHING NOW

i wanna test.........-cries- lemme at it >:O

definetly there's huge demand - though it's not gonna be easy to be better than the tweaked custom roms out right now..

My thoughts exactly.

pdaviate were i got it but not there anymore if i had a place to upload would be glad to share just let me know and by the way running good so far think it might be little slow, but no problems yet

no manilla2d for this thing keeps rebooting

take rapidshare and then delete it after we downloaded it

wow.
I thought this would be months away.
My eyes and ears are open.
all the best to the cookers

Upload it on mediafire or something. I want to get my hands on this.

Hey guys...
Here is the link
http://www.mediafire.com/?2ndzuz4ozzi
Get cooking!

Anyone else tried this rom?
Whats your thought on it?

Yes, I made a fast test on it... my impression? too slow (at least for my taste)

help me please to install it, the problem is that it says that the usb cable is not connected but it is... does somebody have a solution? thnx

i have been using this rom from last 18 hours, and boy i tell you it is damm slow. although microsoft has come up with a few improvisation here and there. But a 6.1 rom with manilla2d is still far better. manilla is much faster and also the layout of manilla is compact and easy to use.
That's just my personal thought. today i am flashing back to a 6.1 rom.

Thank You!
Have you any screen shot??
Now I'm flash my Herald... I want see what is this rom....
I hope that this is very good and fast...
For now ....THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!

Does Battery status work on this to speed things up?

Well if its that slow then im not going to use it.

............................... noooooooooooooooo .............
This rom is the worste that i've tried...
Is very very very slooooowwwww
The grafic is very bad. The icons of the 6.1 with manila is very very very best...
This is a disappointment....
I'm going to put 6.1 with manila....
Thanks to all. Thanks to all that cooking this rom and sorry for my English.
Bye

tried it on my wing so far it''s ok... lot of room... with 2d i had no mem.... like around 27 in the system with this one i have 40

Is it possible to port Leo's Manila 2.5 to Kaiser?

So I was looking around HTCPedia (Please dont feel betrayed) and I saw this ROM for the TP2. Is there any reason why it couldn't be ported to the Kaiser?
I haven't begun dabbling in cooking my own ROMs yet, but I feel like I might try making my first attempt soon. Clealy this is not an ideal starting point, but if someone with experience could give it a shot in the mean time....

just make a rom to look like it, you should have asked this in a kitchen thread or dev and hack thread instead of starting a new thread for this or ask leo if he would make you one for kaiser.

Ok we cant even run just regular TF3D on kaiser! Running Manilla 2.5 will happen when the pigs fly!

we can run tf3d the issue is the 3d drivers not working properly when the device goes to sleep, second tf2.5 would be possible but it would require alot of work and again working drivers, well better than the ones that the kaiser has atm

lol oops, still need go ask in the dev & hack thread about your porting question

Like others state chefs & devs have never got the sleep issues with TF3D sorted and the same would come with M2D 2.5 as it's basically a amalgimation of 2-3...
Also another problem is real estate our devices are QVGA so tiny that it wouldn't be a true port as not everything would fit and still be useable.

true, and also the fact that our qvga devices are a thing of the past now, most new devices are now vga (well except the not yet released htc mega)
so i dont think htc or any developers would take the time to "try" and improve the kaiser 3d drivers to actually make it run smoothly.
I would recommend just going for manila2d/TF2D dumped from htc mega (the latest one)
or perhaps going for a new vga device although i would recommend waiting until wm7 comes out in order to get a wm7 ready phone

I've got a New HTC Touch Pro 2 - What now?

Guy's,
I made the plunge, well, I didn't think i would get it, but won a htc off ebay! Should be delivered in 3 or so days, so long as the bloody postal strike doesn't hold it up!!!!!
Ok, What do I do now? Advice and suggestions would be welcomed.
It's going to be a standard out of the box handset. with WM 6.1 pro.
What mods/upgrading/software should I have? Should i use spb 3.5?
Can't wait to get my hands on it.
cheers.

Hi,
All your questions & mod tips are here, but you'll need to do some catch-up reading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=479
Enjoy your new PPC!

First read the Wiki and then just spend a couple of weeks with it and exploring the TP II forum. We don't know how you will use your phone or what you expect from it so we can't recommend anything at this point. Only you know what you want the phone to do.
So educate yourself, determine what you want and then everyone here will be happy to help you get there

No probs, will do.
Expect loads of questions from me in the next few weeks.

It arrived today! I wasn't expecting it until maybe Thursday but what an awesome phone! Been playing around with it for most of the day.
Sorry guy's, I have to ask, what would you recommend I install as upgrades? What do you think I should mod it with?
I'm also going to do a bit of reading, but would love your thoughts.
Cheers.

I would first recommend upgrading to WM 6.5. Then install TouchFLO as a UI and install the Microsoft Marketplace. There are tons of apps there to customize your phone how you like! Also check out the programs here on XDA. Just look around and you will find things that fit your interests. For example, you may come across a tool that enables your phone to schedule text messages (handy if you want your girl to think you're so sweet by sending her a good morning message first thing in the morning lol works like a charm). Also, Google Maps is an excellent GPS program, but Windows Live Local has better turn by turn directions. I would recommend one or both of those.

^Very good recommendations above...WM6.5 is a must then you can customize from there...

Excellent, cheers guys.
More stuff like this please.
Also, I'm going to be using the phone for business. Is there a software program to read email better than the standard email view on the phone?
What business apps would you recommed?
I've also been advised to flash it with the latest HTC radio and NRG Photon Rom? Someone also said to use SPB 3.5?
Where do I get these programs from?
I think i've got touch flo on it, does this sound right TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38163.1?

bump anyone?

photon ROM is very good!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553506
If you don´t like Manila 2.1 de select it and then you can install spb, personally I prefer touch flo than spb but that is matter of tastes.
Good luck,

Cheers for that.
Also, Is there another updated version of manilla and how do I tell which version I have? I've seen people have been talking about manila 2.5? What are your thoughts?
