hi i'm pretty new to this whole modding phones and what not. i did flash my phone with the new windows mobile 6.1 and after doing that, i'm intrested in making my phone preform better, have useful apps, better battery life? and maybe a cool looking interface or skin. but i need guidence; any suggestions?
i have the htc touch from telus ( one of the first )
if you need anymore info just ask
much thanks
You're probably not going to get a lot of help in the General forum. I would recommend going to the Elf/Touch specific forum and reading the HTC touch wiki at the XDA-Wiki, and reading the stickies in each subforum from there. The stickies and wiki are where you'll find all that lovely info on skins, tweaks, custom ROMs, etc.

Sorry.. truly sorry for asking such a dumb question. I have found and will use the NEWB flashing guide, but even there it doesn't suggest which ROM to use.
Jade? Maybe?
I have a ATT branded Tilt, latest crappy ATT 6.1 build and am ready for all of the improvements.
Since there are so many different ROMs of different flavors, it honestly is hard to tell which one to use in general.
Can someone make a good suggestion? I even saw off one of the linked site for the ROM images, one for the new touch HD?
Hoping for ease of use, speed, and better radio reception.
Thanks.. and again sorry for the newbie question

wow found this site with lots of info, its overwhelming.
i currently have a jasjam and also an old o2 xphone 2 smartphone. was wanting to know if there is any updates or new installs, roms that i can put on these phones that are good? any help in doing this would be great as i have heard you can damage the phone in doing this.
thanks
good place to start is to read the wiki pages for the device

hello, new to the boards here, just managed to successfully flash a WIND Mobile HTC Maple to custom ROM, was wondering if there is currently any way to dual boot or install android onto this HTC Maple device?
Have searched the boards but still remain confused about whether or not this is possible. Online tutorials seem to specify this capability on Diamond, Exaclibur, etc, but nothing solidifying a working or available procedure for the HTC MAPLE. Any information to point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Please search next time, it was on top of the DEV section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712890
Try to contact via PM the devs in the excalibur forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560495 and see if they still pulling this project . Maybe they can give you some tips /advice from where to start .
alright just like to extend my gratitude for having reopened the thread.
and state if need be to have the thread moved please by all means.
the issue im having here is trying to dual boot ANDROID ON AN HTC MAPLE.
the confusing part of this procedure is ive looked everywhere for a suitable distribution specifically designed for the MAPLE but have had no luck.
even looking into WING-LINUX there seems to be no specific file for use with the HTC MAPLE. Exaclibur, vogue, diamond, hd2 i believe were the listed devices among others. but nothing referencing use with the maple. i can not seem to find any alternative methods to accomplish this, and my maple has already been flashed to a cooked rom and unlocked.
any tips leading in the right direction here would be much appreciated
thanks yet again for everyones time

You need to port wing linux to the mapple to do that, you will need a lot Development work to check compatibility and other things. I'm not quite familiar with this...that's why I redirect you to the devs in the excalibur, who are the ones closest to make more funtional this version. Also if you check the site on the chef central forums you can search there and get some "tips" of how you can do it though.
I hope that helps,
Ps I will keep this thread here for a while to see if there's someone who wants to adventure and start this project for the Maple.
Developments?
I'm curious if any developments have emerged for the HTC Maple? I've been playing around with a few other projects but I'd like to see if anyone here has gotten Excalibur working. I checked HTC-Linux.org but not much in terms of providing resources or files.
I'm eager to help get Android on the Maple. it will be a lifesaver for battery life and app development. Any contacts or resources are greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I was about to sell my hd2 when i discovered the versatility of the device its great!!
however, after joining this site, i am at a bit of a loss....
i would love to start of with just some themes, but a lot of them require "CHT2" just wondering what that was and how i find out if i have/ how to get it.
also, what is the best and most reliable build of android as i am sure i will want to convert!! (along with the best accompanying guide, on kernels, radios etc) i have heard of darkstone, but i would really appreciate any help.
Any threads any1 can suggest would be much appreciated, and if possible i would really love to upgrade to android 2.3, but is it reliable does the marketplace still work etc. etc
sorry for being such a total newbie
any info much appreciated thanks!!!
Hi and welcome to the forum!
The HD2 is a great device and very popular. There's a huge amount of information HERE in the Leo forum which you'll want to read. I'm pretty sure that anything that can be with that phone has been covered there already.
It would be great having Android on your phone and you can do it, but you may want to explore some of the customization options for WM first. CHT is Cookies Home Tab and it allows for more modding possibilities and gives you more control over the general appearance.
I'd suggest going through any screenshot type threads to see what other people have done with their phones and try to find out what they used to do it.
Good luck and happy modding
Hi guys, I wana ask you about synchronization htc touch pro (raphael) on winodws vista. How can i synchronizate it vit the usb? i search at this forum a lot of post, but i didn't find enywhere. So please help me guys i want to change my rom to 6.5 . That's why i need this lession.
You mention you want to sync and then at the end of your sentence, it seems more likely that you are also looking to upgrade/flash. The question now is, do you want to save anything that is currently on your phone or would you rather upgrade to a 6.5 winmo ROM and start over?

No i dont wana to save all my files . I wana have a real windows mobile 6.5 on my htc touch pro (raphael)
So then you want to flash or upgrade your device. Do you care if you flash a stock or a custom ROM? Before you consider, read THIS. Keep in mind, that site isn't a "bad read", just might seem like the person might be a tad upset at at&t
I would suggest a few threads for reading before you even consider flashing.
THIS thread has a collection of other threads that are helpful/useful. I would consider starting HERE for flashing a GSM device and HERE for CDMA. If you find it is too much to read, I can try to walk you through the steps but no idea as to when I will have the time to actually do that. The wiki that everyone is referring to may have been changed in some cases. THIS is the working link to date. Additionally, if you choose to flash a custom ROM you will need to HARD-SPL your device BEFORE YOU FLASH! Supposedly you can flash stock ROMs all day long and worry less. To me, the major difference between a stock and a custom ROM is over-all behavior. Stock ROMs are more straight forward and custom ROMs can be difficult to manage if you don't know what you are doing. It's quite a shock to most new to the custom ROM deal but if you think you are ready for it, I would suggest using the ROM in my sig/signature. Again, to me, this ROM represents the latest winmo enhancements to-date, even though winmo is becoming an obsolete OS, slowly but surely
One additional peice of advice to you my friend. If you find yourself confused by all of this, you can return to this thread and I'll try my best to explain things to you. All we ask is if your question pertains to something that the thread answers, please try to stay with-in that thread. To me, searching is an art, if you type in jibberish, it is likely that your results will turn up nothing useful but in order to get better at it, you have to try it out for yourself! With that, I hope you enjoy your device and the awesome members of XDA!
n-Joie! (Enjoy)
