Hi guys,
I have tried searching for a thread like this but only found one from 07', Im think about upgrading my Trinity to a newer model but i am not sure which model to upgrade to, I like the looks of the Diamond but not sure about the battery life and size, is the Diamond pro (not sure if that is the correct name, it has the slide out keyboard) going to be any better? How dose the Titan compare? Or the Polaris? Is there any others I have missed?
Thanks
I don't know about the best HTC, but I can tell you that we are hearing a lot of rumours about bugs and lock ups with the Diamond. I haven't checked recently though, maybe they have brought out a less buggy rom for it or solved the issue.
you're asking for out personal opinions, so you can't hope to get an unskewed answer.
my answer- get a smartphone with plenty of ram and processor. You'll love the ease of use that i just can't seem to get on ppc.
My personnal:
pros - TouchFlo 3D, G-sensor,VGA screen,Size,Design
cons - speed of WM6 scrooling,slower video playback (but still can play unconverted videos), everyone MUST try it, so you can not even tell somebody you have it.
Hi, I'm still pretty new to this, but already flashed for my first time a pretty sweet rom I found for my 8125. Anyways, I decided to buy a Tilt so my video would playback more smoothly and be able to play things like morphgear and such. I was wondering if there was a Rom for my Tilt that was WM6.1, with the touchflow bar a bit higher on my display and I nicer clock? I am assuming it has the default rom on it as I just won it on Ebay. I found the Newbies guide on how to upgrade a Kaiser, so I think I can do that, as I had done before with the Newbies guide on Wizards. Any tips on choosing a rom for my new phone?

The best way is that you enter here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
And read member comments about the ROM you find that suits better for you
Good luck,
All is on the title...
No more ROM in the future
I agree with you, but.....
There doesn't seem to be anything to replace it. I've tried Kaiser, Magic and Diamond hardware, all of which suck in comparison.
So I've ended up back on the uni - the other phones are all heading to ebay.
Any suggestions as to how we liven up the uni a bit?

Yep, the Uni is unbeatable about the life, any vanilla ROM with one of the latest builds will be nice WM6.1/6.5
My way of keeping my Uni fun was SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, it is just like getting a new user interface, so doesn't matter so much what ROM it is running, even WM5. The only thing I needed was 128Mb RAM. However, I have to say that having 128/256 on my LG KS20 felt amazingly roomy, wish my Uni had that much space.

I agree completely. spb ms3.5 plus any lightweight stable rom will do the trick for 64MB uni pls take note however that spb ms is not for free (yu need a little resourcefulness though ).
of course, blessed are those with upgraded ram

There are still a few Chefs alive in Uni section!
So Uni will never die, even if there is no mre new ROM´s we reached WM6.5 on a device with WM5, so we are actual.
And I´m sure someone will find the way to port the new look of WP7 in the future!
I have tested several HTC devices and have to agree, none of them can be compared, even if they are faster...not even my Rhodium (which is a great device)
UNIVERSAL will never die!!
OK, so a bit of a rom refresh would cheer people up. I'll package up a 21068/21051 rom in the next few days. This build has been running on my Uni for a few months now so I know it's stable, there's just some loose ends to tidy up. It'll also finally ditch tcpmp 0.81 in favour of the latest 0.72recomp3 which now matches 0.81 for playback speed and doesn't have the annoying screen rotation bug.
If you still love your uni, and you've not had it upgraded to 128mb yet - go and find a way to get it upgraded! It gives the phone a new lease of life - snappier, more versatile and it seems to improve battery usage. (I suspect the battery improvement is due to reduced CPU-load and Flash-reads when pagepooling is disabled)
Note that you can run a 64mb device without pagepooling, but RAM tends to fill up quite quickly, resulting in apps refusing to load or acting all crashy. That said, there are ways to improve memory management (auto-hibernate for one) that might make it more of an option.
@Enigma - 256MB would rock - particularly for those who like to dabble with linux/android. It's just a shame nobody makes 128mb chips in the right packaging. :-(
Great to know something new will come!!, hope for 64Mb too
Shame for me upgrade to 128mb it´s very hard to accomplish
Great news!
thingonaspring ,
greart news to hear!
I have been using Cotull Q3 WM 6.1 for ages.......nothing beats it. (IMHO)
And with 128 MB RAM it's "snappy".
A new ROM is always welcome.Waiting with appreciation.
Thanks.

Can we change the title of the thread?...it is rather depressing and misguiding.
And do you expect us to suggest any apps to include in the ROM or would it be a Vanilla one?
uni dead nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
mine has tomal V8.9, windows 6.1 and spb mobile shell (yes i was resourceful and got it.) and mine now runs like a charm and give my 64mb xda exec a new ui and fresh look.
we still need roms for our 64mb unis for all those like me that dont have ours upgraded.
carry on the good work cheff's we all really appreciate you keeping our unis alive.
long live the uni

I´m completly agree about this, I think we should ask OP first
@teddybear3k, do you think you can consider this request please?
Also today Sun Dream released a new ROM, so Uni will be still alive!!!
OK title changed.
Here I can tell my IMATEJASJAR not dead, he is the top, the only disadvantage is the ram, but I already have a donor hand and will follow the operation and 128mb ram will be happy if you still make good ROMs for our UNI, maybe one day I learn to cook roms for my faithful friend
just bought a touch diamond whats best windows or android & is it easy to flash back to a windows rom if i try and dont like android... and what roms do folk on here like best on this phone ? opinions please
wELL IT SEEMS NO ONE HAS THE TIME OR INCLINATION TO REPLY ON HERE ANY MORE? I WONDERD IF ITS CHANGED THAT MUCH,FOLK USED TO HELP BUT NO REPLYS,GUESS I WILL JUST HAVE TO STAB IN THE DARK TO SEE WEATHER ANDROID IS FOR ME OR TO STAY WITH WM,whoops please excuse the caps lock was on..
It's only been 24hrs, please be patient when asking a question for the answer.
Re: WM vs Android:
Android does not work 100% on WM devices so it's best to check the Android thread and see what isn't working and if you can live without it.
Alot of Android bases can work via haret on SD card so no need to flash, the nand versions you can flash back to WM via bootloader.
Make sure your Hard-SPL'd.

- You'll get better answers in the Diamond section.
- You didn't even say which model/carrier Diamond you have. GSM Diamond is different from Sprint/Alltel Diamond is different from Verizon Diamond. They are NOT interchangeable.
- Android for CDMA/Sprint Diamond is not really ready for prime time. Biggest problem is battery drain.
- You can try it WITHOUT flashing... just d/l the needed files and run it.
- The best forum to discuss ROMs for the Diamond is on www.ppcgeeks.com
- My favorite ROM for the Sprint Diamond is MightyRom 4. It is WM6.1. I see no point to WM6.5 for the Diamond.
OK thanks & sorry for impationtness would put it down to a bad day at the hair dressers or some thing but being bald/shaved that wont work so i just apologise ,yes i think looking about that i will stick with wm, i have seen the energy rom on the tube i like the look of that , the icons look real good and it seems smooth, so will have a look at some other roms and see, in an ideal world i would just get the handset of choise but i have to search for auction bargins to get my phones.. thanks Ali
Hello all,
Now that I have a few days off before I go back to work for the new year thought I would find a project to keep me occupied.
I have what i believe to be a Dopod /HTC/ 838 Pro.
Thought I would upgrade it and maybe get a few more years out of it, since it has been sitting in my top drawer for the last two years ever since getting my Iphone. Had TomTom running on it as a navigation device, but the Iphone does it sooooo much better that I found I was not using the WinMo.
So in light of the above, any advice appreciated.
I live in Australia so a Rom specific to the region would be great, as I would like to upgrade from WM6 to ----> 6.1 with Touchflo or 6.5 if possible?? Is it ???
Ideally I am after the touchflo experience, I know its a whole buch of fancy graphics etc...but before I get flamed for being lazy and not looking etc thought I would see what your opinions are. (and yes I am being a tad lazy too) please no flames only constructive advice.
I have seen the WM6.1 touchflo installed on the phone on Youtube however could not find the Rom, having searched ..(possibly with the wrong words) but I did try.
Could you also suggest a failproof method of upgrade..
Starting with Hard-SPL_V7 if it is required ???
Any Help appreciated.
