Toshiba Portege G500 / WM6 Upgrade

I know this is really only a place for HTC made devices but does anyone use the Toshiba Portege G500?
Looking for a Smartphone again as I'm getting a little bored of my MDA Vario II, the PDA novelty has finally worn off after having an XDA Mini S before that.
I really like the look of the Toshiba Portege G500.
Does anyone know of any WM6 upgrades available for it? Since it seems like a great speced device with having a fast CPU and HSDPA.

the link is dead
any alternative?

hello!
i also have a g500.. but the phone doesn't boot.. when i turn it on it just show the word TOSHIBA and stops. I can't even turn it off. The only way to switch it off is to remove the battery!
Should I just install WM or is there any other way to solve my problem? I thankfull for any kind of help.

i need valid link

at mpx.gen.tr you can actually find stable WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 roms for the device, play around a bit.
edit:
http://www.mpx.gen.tr/showthread.php?t=24236 actually have the most stable WM 6.5 roms, two versions lite/standart, I guess google translator will give you enough ideas about what they offer though =)

ROM
I need help in creating miniSD bootable rom.
HELP

What do you mean?
You don't need to "create" a bootable rom, imo.
The .XLDs seem to be X-Loader files and afaik you need to format your SD to FAT16, copy the .XLD to it and start your mobile with "*" pressed and "PowerOn".
"SD Card Upgrade" should appear.
That's what google translated though...
Since i get G500 in some days i'm not the best resource for info.
So please don't kill me if you brick your brick - ehm phone.

Neo homescreen from T-Mo Shadow?

Hi everyone, what do you say on the new T-mobile's homescreen for HTC Shadow device (http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/11/01/shadow-homescreen.aspx)?
It would definitely be worth having it on other phones, do you think it can be done?

As far as i know it is for Windows Mobile Standart (Smartphone) only, but can not be sure until i try it

Sure it can be done. The only thing you need is dumped T-Mobile shadow ROM. If you can get that, you can get the homescreen.

What i wanna know is if there is a reg edit to get the to take myfaves away from the first tab on the home screen so i can see the date and time there instead like in the first picture. That would great.

As written in linked article, myfaves are only enabled on T-Mo SIMcards, others see the clock instead, which is great. Now, where to get the ROM?

Let's just hope that someone will dump their phone's rom
To all shadow users: Who can dump their phones rom ?

I'm not sure how to dump my rom, but I hope someone figures it out because I hate this my fave on my homescreen. I would also like to keep the neo interface but be able to add my own apps to it...I wish I knew how to help..g

Clock instead of MyFav
Take a look here to get rid of MyFavs. I haven't tried it but the person who posted it did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343000

Worked like a charm thanks for the link.....g

If you're not on a MyFavs plan, can you still use the MyFavs on the interface as a poor-man's photo dialer to five numbers of your choosing?

May be someone could help Gottifour to dump his rom? I don't know how to do this for sure..

Indeed... A dump would be really great!
What do you guys think about the ever growing eyecandy that is being used in all different mobile devices? Is it doing something good for the usability or just eyecandy that blinds the user?

How about some pointers to instructions on how to dump a rom for those who might be interested.

How about this...
Try using this tutorial on the xda xiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
as far as I know, you can use itsme's tools for all htc devices. Sorry that i can't try this myself on the shadow. I have the t-mo MDA and an ancient mpx200
If anyone gets this to work, please post the dump online

I think it helps to create Neo to ather devices =)

(Dump of T-Mobile Shadow Rom).

whose rom did i install, lol?

bootup, has a female elf photo and then some chinese woman with HTC.
very impressed with speed and responsiveness compared to WM5
Voice speed dial -- broken, missing dll?
Midlet manager -- broken, missing dll?
Clearvue pdf -- broken, missing dll?
Backlight button doesnt work
PS. drop the cheesy pics, eh?

Not from here I don't think.
flash a decent rom from any of the reputable rom builders here, and not some insane chinese fetishist.
Psi

Hmmm, you must be kidding or you downloaded the ROM from somewhere else & just want to find out!
It's mo3ulla's ROM! I've given you a clue, do a quick search & you'll find what you're looking for.

I've reflashed jwrite ROM and have to say Mozilla is A LOT faster.

1... voice speed dial - deleted .... use ciberon voice dialer or commander ( he has much more functions)
2. midlet manager - -- deleted .... install separately or not install at all
3. clearvue - deleted --- extremely buggy and slow software .. if you need this install separately
4. Backlight button -- works just bind action for it
tips about using this rom i write in rom related topic .... btw ... users did not find bugs in 1.01 .. miracle?

can some one tell how to change bootloder
it will be very huch appricated of if some one willing to tell me the way of changing the boot screen.

Really would like to try your V1.01, but I can't run without Flash Disk for extra storage. Will test your version with FD when it comes. Cheers!

Definitely Mo3ulla's ROM

Dutty's Rom Version 1.65.16.25 Help

Thanks to the sire today for not reading my thread, im new to this so I would appreciate some help with this post, i have looked through the forums but cant find anything to guide me straight, so il ask again for some kind assistance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have recently after hours of reading installed the above rom to my phone, and i like the speed of it and the design thanks Dutty.
I am new to this area and was very hesitant to try the non original roms in case i bricked my phone but I seem to have done ok, I have a few slight issues with this rom and would ask the experience of the forum members for help please understand im nieve to this rom updating.
When I start my phone i have the following rom version,
R 1.65.16.25
G 25.83.40.02W
D 3.5 Dutty's
In device info is -
Build is showing as 5.2.19588 WM6.1
Radio is 1.65.16.25
Protocol Version - 25.83.40.02W
Firstly is this the right setup?
2. Is there a faster or better rom available (Dutty's) that would be more compatible with the tytn 2?
3. Is the radio compatible with this version if not how do I change it please and to which version?
I seem to be having some minor glitches with the setup which i will go through and see if there are any fixes.
a. under comm manager I dont have the option to turn on data connection its greyed out!
b. it tries to download emails but tells me to adjust setting although i know the email ones are 100% right, this may be because of the data connection issue how do i fix?
c. There is no HSDPA tab anymore on connections
d. When i open the start menu from today screen it shows as black or fuzzy and not the list of programs and apps until i touch it with stylus pen?
e phone reception seems to be worse can this be fixed.
f. screen freezes sometimes aswell.
if anyone can assist me with these issues i would be grateful. thanks Wayne.
2.

reason nobody has answered is because every question u ask has been answered. stop being lazy and read or the mods will give u a kick in the arse.
p.s. ofcourse radio is compatible thats why u can make calls. AND don't double post again.

RELPY
Irtyp Bmyfw!

release date
it is being releashed on the 6th october, but it may be delayed depending on your network and service provider, but on the topaz, you should get a free upgrade
please use the search function, as there are quite a few posts about this, but mainly in the rom development (you can download a 6.5 rom that you can install on your phone if you are after one)

Yeah my bad, what i meant was is there anyway this will appear in a seperate install feature?
So is it already in the 6.5 cooked roms?
I tried to get a copy of Vlingo but not supporting Topaz yet..

tell me
some have it include, can't remember which one though
however, you can put in your email on this address, to get a notification, when the official one comes out
looking here though it is meant to be included automatically with 6.5
