HTC Touch 2 : change the language, the OS... - General Questions and Answers

I'm a brand new HTC user. I got an HTC Touch 2 (T3333) today for the half the price because the Windows Mobile OS installed is in Dutch; the seller told me that it was impossible to change but I knew for sure that it was. I mean, we are installing Android on toasters nowadays...
So it is possible, as I found out on this board (the "Mega - ROM - Hotfix - User Manual - roll-up thread" topic; I can't post links yet, sorry). I've downloaded the ROM and I'm waiting for rapidshare to allow me to download the manual...
While I wait, could you be so kind to tell me if an Android port was successful on that telephone ? If so, how well it is supported ?
If not, I'm open to any fix and tweaks topics that you can point me out in order to get the maximum out of my new phone. I'm already searching the board but I'm listening...
Thanks !

lol its not my work... its the teams work at Touch2 / Mega section. You can check out my rom that im currently building its WM 6.5.5 os but still in working progress..

Well, thank you for spreading the good news then...
I will dive into the subject tonight.

Hmmm...I tried upgrade with a French ROM but I can't, I get the 294 error. It wasn't that easy. I tried changing the settings in the Systems menu but that didn't work obviously.
Am I missing something here ?

Okay, I'm very sorry : my browser didn't loaded the board well on my first visit and I only discovered the HTC Touch 2 Mega section now.
I will ask my question over there...

I believe that WM6VoIP.CAB is for pocket pc.
well, i instaled it on my SPV E650, the plugin appears on the home screen but it says something like "Appels Internet: Service bloqué"... i think that Orange France does not allowed us to get acces or something like that.
Who knows how to make it work ?

Has anyone found a way to make voip work with this S710 device? Does it work with the .cab in this thread? I am desperately in need for such a solution.
I've now added a page showing you how to dump the ROM and extract files from it. It uses pdocread and viewimgfs.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom
how to reflash tutorial would be useful
now that i have the dump, a reflash tutorial would be great
I also dumped my ROM according to the wiki, but I'm afraid there are files missing. For example "coredll.dll" (539040 bytes) which is read-only, hidden, system and in ROM does not appear in my dump. I found unicode references in Part00 or Part01, but the viewimgfs tool can not extract from these parts.
Anyhow, ftg888 is right, a flash tut would be highly appreciated
I've just updated the page with info on the Okta Boss (www.oktamobile.com) which was just released in New Zealand by Telecom NZ yesterday.
It seems to be a hybrid between the HTC S710 and S730, but is CDMA based.
I just recieved one today, so I'll be posting updates as I play with it...
Later'ish

Hi everyone
I wanted to share some good information and experiences I had with my phone as above
1. Backlight failure: Phone kept going black/no screen image. These people did a great job fixing it for me:
http://www.turnonyourmobile.com
Tel: 020-8543-7417
They are in Wimbledon and fixed the phone in 24 hrs. Price was just under £64all in (vat, carriage etc). This saved having to send phone back to Korea. I purchased it from an e bay shop, but no warranty passed along.
2. Software: ROM flash upgrade: this one worked really well for me.
See this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Vox & this one for the ROM
(but please follow all instruction to the letter!)
This was the very best link: Dr. Martin Gonzo's WM6.1 ROM
Download from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376564
3. If you have problems with flashing, download this MS tool: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8C-D587-47E0-908B-09FEE6EA517A&displaylang=en
4. Follow instructions carefully, different security settings may assist, but remember to reinstate the settings later
5. I am now a very happy owner of this phone and it does more than the original one I received
Enjoy your Phone
Wiki is being updated. I have added SPL flashing instructions. I will create a glossary as well.
OK, I made some changes. I created a separate page for USPL and linked it on the flashing page and on the main page!
EDIT: I also added some stuff to the glossary!
in china it's named C730..
I moved the ROM list to a separate page and put a link to it near the top.
I added some overclock info regarding the Rose V0.4 rom. It should work for other roms but at the moment its a manual setting - I cant get TornadoPowerControl to work.

Yes to question 1.
Your guess is as good as anyone elses as far as this being the final release or not. I suspect that at a minimum the final will at least be updated to report the same version in Windows as it does in the image file. (Windows still reports it as 1.13, while the image reports as being 1.25).
You need to read every message in the two main WM6 threads before you're allowed to ask another question...you're grounded son!

i hate being grounded
( you remind me of my friend brandon : p)
anyways, is there a set release date for the actual version ( or legal on i should say)
because if its sometime soon i might as well wait, but if its not. then i should just go ahead and install it.
::another question::
[hope i dont get even more grounded : /]
my treo is unlocked ( orig cingular, now unlocked and using with T-mobile)
if i install the wm6, will it erase all my settings i currently have, ( will it reset it to manufacture default? )
thanks,
and btw dad.
thanks hah : D

Kill yourself by firewall! You keep asking silly questions about this ROM for over a week now on all the treo-forums I read. And you get answers, and after that you keep asking the same q's! Just read the threads!

Android is not a special "thing" you just put anywhere and run, it has a kernel and is composed out of drivers and configurations, i'm pretty shure everething is out there but needs to be packed out together...
I'm a software developer but i have no experience compiling Android, my research is driving me to the HTC Lexikon (Merge) recently launched, this PDA hardware is very similar to the Imagio and it stock's Android so the work will be almost done and we won't need to start from "0", if you can help about please contact me..
Try this one

Post your results !!!
Has AnyOne tried his solution?
the lexikon is almost alike to the imagio
and if it doesnt work you can flash back.
So its a win win

Hi, i am currently developing Android for the Imagio, i just startted the process and some tests, yesterday i was able to boot using a Topaz old testing kernel, but the screen was blank. I plan to compile a custom kernel for the Imagio.
I posted the Lexikon image but it wont work for the imagio because of the processor are different (Imagio= MSM7600) but i guess i could use some drivers from the Lexikon...
Wish me luck, i'm reading a lot to understand the kernel and Android
You can download the image i used here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/h9LTDTdp/droid_booted_imagiotar.html
And maybe, if you find the correct cmd_line arguments for HaRET you can get the screen to work properly
Glad someone is working on this. I'm right there with you! Make a thread on the imagio forum or pm me if you need testing.

RoverPC/Ndrive s400

First of all, this is my first attempt to make any kind of rom.
As you may have noticed my device is not an htc so creating this rom will be much more difficult, less support.
I have read several threads (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533423, etc) and i've decided to use visualkitchen for my test.
I think I've placed the files in the correct places, at least the ones from wm6.5.x, however I still have some doubts regarding the ROM and OEM part.
Can anyone refer a good guide for this part or help out?
Thank you,
Alsuki.

[Q] Joint effort for new rom

Hi all
I spent quite some time in looking, testing and rejecting the roms that trail around here. So, may I suggest, we build our own / open to all ROM?
I never cooked a ROM, thus I am certainly no veisen, navenedrob or MietasSR and how all the good chefs are named. So, anyone to join?
greets mega
I could join for testing and small stuff, since there is not much ir can compile codewise.
what it would be better for you and everyone is to take the best rom made untill now and fix all the remaining bugs so finally like that the perfect rom will be created, maybe by the time u create the rom with bugs you will be forced to leave the investigation like everyone else leaving a bugy rom but work from the start with ready bugy rom fix it and voila, the perfect treo rom. if u need it i can post it here.
Hi, why do you think the others *had* to quit?
I firmly believe, these good guys left because of loss of interest. If they were forced to quit, say by M$, that would have happend right after first dropping rom's in here and certainly these downloads would have been blocked too.
greets
mega
i didnt meant they had to but most of the roms that were posted ad dissapeared i got mine beacuse an senior member posted it for me, currently the only two good ones are the one that says in tread name sys blablablablabla xsx blablablabla, and the spanish one.
but you know its true that its better to do what i posted.
I believe there is still a lot of treo 750 users out there, since it is a superb device. But the old Win OS is a true bummer, not finger friendly at all. And pulling out a stylus in a bus stop is just hideous. So I hope this thread stays alive....

Hi,
Building our own Rom, does deffinitely *not* exclude a valuable starting point such as already existing ROM, on the contrary.
here are the options we have (just the WM 6.5 ROMS):
- thread 642721
WM6.5.3 28205, from MietasSR; No kitchen that I know off; link to ROM alive, as of writing
- thread 541417
23017 R2" SYS/XIP ROM by navenedrob (Probably the one youe were referring to); the only one with a kitchen; link to ROM dead, but can be found elsewhere, as of writing
- thread 477370
21193/21193 by veisen; No kitchen that I know off; link to ROM alive, as of writing
None of these roms has language support other than english, all have bugs. I am new to rom development, I will only put effort into this, if I am not alone. Can we make a sourceforgeproject of this
Things that need get organised are:
- a bunch of developpers
- howto on making a kitchen
- decide what will be the starting point
- which languages are we going to target
- EN
- DE, first prio for me
- ....
- can we do them all?

I am willing to help/contribute even in development if the project gets some positive feedback and other contributers!
About the languages.. as I understand you can change the ROM's langpack, so a good starting point would be the new spanish rom floating around. Looks like it has a lot of bugfixes in it already... So the first thing to do would be contacting the baker and have him answer simple questions about kitchen and ROM. That way we could swap it to EN/GER and test it out.
