So, after selling my x7501, about 3 years ago, I have had the HTC Touch Pro (unlocked), HTC Touch Pro 2 (Tmobile US), & now the HTC HD2 (Tmobile US) - don't get me wrong, they were all great devices in their on right, but I was much, much happier & productive with my x7501. & with those devices I still have 2 carry a netbook - not 2 mention all the freezing & resetting i am dealing with with my HD2 - such a headache! in order 2 get back to my "happy place" I am in the process of ordering an x7510!
Question: Can someone tell me what's the maximum size memory card it supports??
Double post
it depends what rom you use (my one has the latest drivers/build ), 16gb card works. (haven't tried 32gb)
Thank you!! I'm sorry for the double post i hit the back browser by mistake & couldn't figure out how to delete one - but thank you for replying, I appreciate it!
I notice in your signature line you have WM6.5, is it easy to upgrade from 6.1?

You can't 'upgrade', its like a 'full instalation' , it does a hard rest and so you lose your data. Also you need to change your stock SPL to a hard SPL found in the sticky.
i guess i will have 2 try it when i receive my phone, before i load anything.
i hope the process is painless, i've never did a full install before.
on that thread will it give me information & warnings on what to look out for? will i loose any valuable programs thats already installed on the phone?
You can always revert if you don't like it, no problem.
Hey, chellie, good to see an 'old' new X7510 user.
It's very simple to change your ROM.
First of all, read this thread about Hard-SPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441684
After that, just select the ROM that you want. We have few 'chefs' here. So there are few options, but all of them are making good ROMs.
The new one is from Vico100.
Unfortunately, 6.5.x does not support RealVGA (if you don't know about this app, search it here on xda. It is a real new life for X7510 to make it as a wonderful netbook).

Thank you hiroshi.rio.
I owned a x7501 previously, but I used it stock.
With purchasing the x7510, I may just do the same, I am way to nervous to dry to change or update the ROMs - I have no experience in doing so, and I don't wanna mess anything up
I appreciate the information and I will look at the recommended forum and take in as much info as I can.
So updating the system or changing it to RealVGA makes it more like a netbook? That sounds interesting, I have to look into that.

Hi everyone,
here is a complete noob posting. So don't be too rude in your answers! :roll:
I bought a new MDA compact from t-mobile Germany and I want to get rid of the branding or change it to the O2 Germany version of it (it's my provider). There is no simlock or anything similar.
That is the reason I found your page. And I took a big look around.
At the moment I think that the only way to "debrand" my mda is to copy a "clean" "shipped rom" on it.
So here are my questions:
1) Are the shipped roms debranded versions of the ones that are already provided or do they have more bugs than the respective branded versions?
2) What are the differences between the different rom-types? Which of these are valuable for my purpose?
3) Suppose I created a backup of my rom and want to flash it with a version from your ftp. Can I reinstall my backup, even if the installation process of the other rom stopped and didn't finish or am I completely ****ed?
-------
By the way: It would be very nice if you could extend your encyclopedia a little. For example it would be nice to have some explanations on the different types of roms.
-------
Thanks already for your help!
There's not much difference between ROM versions, just get the most up to date if you're going to update.
Apply the bigstorage hack. If you're doing that, you might as well upgrade the rom at the same time.
I wouldn't change the ROM if you're having no problems with it. Very little has changed that I can tell, nothing that would force me to upgrade if I had to do it again.
Debranding - the branded versions (eg tmobile) might come out with more things bundled in, but almost everything can be downloaded from XDA Developers' FTP site - look in the extended rom area. These things are optional, and generally just brand your phone, so best not to bother!
There's software available to "easily change splash screen" to change the boot up screen to anything you want to remove that branding. I have a QTEK Rom and don't notice any other branding.
Hope that provides some info!
Vijay
I've trying to read through the forum but I cant seem to find a solid ROM that everyone agrees on... So whats the best ROM out there?
Come on lol
Ow gd, it is starting here also... Try the ROM's yourself! Try and try until you find something you like. Evereybody has different wishes, so there is no 'perfect' ROM that suits everybody's wishes. Read through the specs and see which ROM you like most.
i did an easy search on xda dev google for kaiser best rom. found this. next time, please use all the great tools that we have.

the tilt and kaisers aren't that much different.
helmi also created some cooked tilt roms, but everyone says it all before, no one is all going to agree on one rom. If you don't want to go through all the trouble loading the roms like many of us have, then stick with the HTC shipped rom. There is a reason why HTC made it the standard.
I have to tell you, the stock AT&T Tilt ROM (once you delete all the craplets) actually has excellent performance and is very stable.

I use the BigStorage htc one on my tilt. I must say, it's just as stable as the at&t rom, has more room, and I'm not missing any apps or anything that I would want or need. It's got a lot of the registry hacks I'd want, updated black keyboard, PIE fix, and a TON of room. Kudos to the developer.

hard reset you tilt and when the additional phone customizing starts, soft reset.
Hello Everybody.
I bought my tilt from ebay, and the software was already customized with a ROM. I didnt know, but i knew it was different because, I have 8525 and the ROM is not the same.
My question is, that I updated my Tilt with a new ROM from Dutty's I think its the 04/29/08 version. Theres nothing wrong with this ROM, but I will like to go back to the one I had.
I want to go back to the ROM that I had, and the version is from Feb and it was TOUCH.
I dont know, if the TOUCH ROM is compatible with the Tilt, but that was installed on my phone before I upgraded to the new one for Dutty's.
If can someone help me to find this ROM thanks.

Hi,
I've had my Touch Pro for about a month and I've had enough of that stupid Vodafone start-up screen and everything!
So I've been reading up on this forum and downloaded Total Commander, Advanced Config and RegEdit and I haven't seen anything on here about ROM's on a Vodafone Touch Pro...........and I'm a bit scared of bricking my phone!
So has anyone got an idiots' guide to getting a decent ROM on my Touch Pro? I mainly just want to get rid of all the Vodafone branding and then maybe start playing about with it more!
Thanks
I've just got a Vodafone one too! And was wondering the same thing
I'll await answers from the masses
I have the UK Vodafone Touch Pro and have just changed the ROM to ROMeOS 1.40.1. The speed difference is substancial, and I would recommend it if you are willing to risk your warrenty.
Just make sure you follow all the posted advice regarding flashing your rom.

I've never had a signal problem, so I wouldnt think so. Its just an OS change, not the radio.
I have a vodafone rom and I thought the slowness was normal (I mean how would I know and different?) :S If there are alternatives, I too am interested.
I had the phone for about a month before I decided to look into the other ROMs, mainly because i'd got into the habit with my old v1606 (Hermes).
After looking at a few I eventually decided to try the ROMeOS one first, and so far I havent regreted it. It seems much faster, and the changes that have been made seem to improve the operation.
You still get the initial Vodafone boot screen then an alternate ROMeOS one, however even the boot seems much faster to me (I haven't actually timed it)
The only thing I will say is that if you like to modify TF3D then uninstall the 'HTC Manila Enhancements' using Remove Programs before you install any other mods or you may get a clash as I did.
I should add that I have only flashed ROMeOS in the last 24hrs so a full 'workout' has not been given to it yet.
Also make sure you read and follow the beginners guide in the ROM Development folder before you attempt the flash.
I have my Vodafone UK Touch Pro for 2 months. Yesterday i decided to change the ROM.
There is sooo much hype about bricking the phone but all the tools out there made it very easy for me, actually i only used 2 tools!
First download and install HardSPL
Then install the rom of your choice using the supplied .exe.
Simple, where abouts you based, could poss do it for you if you want?
I did manage to change my ROM - to the afour mentioned ROMeOS ROM - which is awesome. I did download Elite ROM but it was loaded with way too many programs for me!
It is a simple process, but I still get worried!!
I would like to change my Vodafone branded device to the Romeos rom if possible but want to know how I can make a dump of my current Vodafone ROM so If for any reason the device needs to be sent back I can shove that ROM back on?
Also, when changing roms, Is there a way to not lose your text messages?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil
Yeah - use a program called PIMBACKUP. I've backed all my stuff up about 3 times now with no problems.
You can save your original ROM, I never did as you can download the stock ROM's from here.
Read the Flashing For Newbies topic - it's invaluable. It ill have the links for the downloads you need
Touch Pro's Worst Rom
Just wanted to add my vote for hating this ROM. The red theme is horrible.
I thought I would wait a bit before flashing after shelling out £370 but this ROM was totally ruining my experience. Flashed within 12 hours of the phone arriving!!!
Can anybody who has successfully removed the Vodafone Rom and installed a new one shed some light on how they managed to do it. Ive flashed roms dozens of times on my Kaiser and the Hermes and had no problems at all but so far ive had no joy with the Touch Pro. No matter how i try and install hard SPL (either via the pc or using manual install) i never get past the black screen stage and 0% progress and then when the phone restarts nothings changed and i can no longer connect to Active Sync without hard resetting the phone and restarting the computer. I cannot use the Vodaphone Rom its so awful so im desperate for some advice.
MagicAlex - I flashed my TouchPro twice and had no problems either time. I basically followed the step by step guide which is stickied to the other ROM Developement forum.
Sorry I coudn't be more help, but that's how I did it, thanks to this wonderful forum
oh yeah ive flashed mine three times now. it turned out to be some mysterious issue with my pc. after two days of getting nowhere using Vista32 i plugged my TP into my girlsfriends laptop running Vista64 & it flashed first time. I have no idea what the issue is as i flashed my Vario2 & 3 dozens of times on my pc with no problems at all. very strange!
The new Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 were announced today, to include an updated version of the Touch Flo 3D software functionality. It gives the ability to move / remove / rename the Touch Flo Tabs, reorganize your programs on the program tab and even add additional programs once the initial ones are full plus a lot more.
Overall the new Touch Flo 3D is giving you the ability to get to the applications you use the most a lot quicker then what we can do now. The device is no more powerful then our 1st Gen devices as far as storage capacity is concerned and uses the same processors, so it should be non issue for them to roll out an update to our software.
Everyone should be going to http://www.htc.com and petitioning them starting now, requesting that they make the new Touch Flo 3D software available to us 1st Gen owners.
My phone is not even a month old, and to see them fix what is broken about the current gen software and not offer it to us would be flat out wrong. Even Apple offered the new software to their customers for just a nominal fee of $20, which eventually dropped down to $10.
I wish we could get a petition going and send it to them voicing how we feel. While I know people have been making mods to get this function on the current phones, this is a time where we need to make HTC step up and do what is right.
If you agree please keep bumping this, it would act as a petition of sorts. Maybe you could even do a poll on this subject??
I called my own wambulance already so I don't need another one...thanks !! =) lol....honestly though, everyone should feel as strongly about this being addressed by HTC as I do.
Petition? why when someone will port it over...plus from my experience with my kaiser...i dont think they care much to petition.....
Or you can just install this mod from this thread, and have most of that functionality like I do now on my Touch Pro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164&highlight=stocks
Will it port over? I would prefer to not mess with the ROM in anyway, this is an area that kind of worries me..can't afford to brick my phone...or is this something that would not have bearing on that? I don't know exactly how all this works, but that functionality would surely be ideal. Does HTC really not care about customer service? I have not dealt with them directly for anything yet.

Is this a cooked ROM install that I would have to do or a .CAB that you just run?....Thanks.
I strongly agree that they should have an upgrade for us, but I don't think they really care, this is how they make money, they put out the newest stuff and don't have upgrades for the old stuff so it urges you to buy the new phone
then why not just charge all of us 1st gen owners $10-$20 for the software and allow us to upgrade to it? They would make a ton of cash off doing that, on top of the sales from the new phone. This is exactly what Apple did when they upgraded to the next gen of their phones, it was smart of them to do it and brilliant from a customer relations standpoint.
I guess I could just return my current phone and get something else temporarily until that comes out, since I bought it online and it is not even 30 days old...but I would rather keep this phone if it is possible and just get the functions of the new Touch Flo 3D.
Don't sweat it, when it gets out someone will port it and make it installable with a cab...no worries. HTC really doesn't care much for the end user, they proved that with the Kaiser drivers.
htc does not give a sh*t and frankly i don't care... at the moment they have, IMHO, the best + tweaks phone for me. once i see a better phone somewhere else i will buy that phone.... i just hope this time they hard coded all of the hardware buttons so i can't remap any of them .... @ the person who made that decision.... and i quote

I thought that Diamond TF3D Configurator did a lot of those things. You can use it to remove unused tabs and to re-order them. You can also use it to re-order the programs in the program tab pretty easily. I'm also pretty sure that there are cabs out there that allow you to add some more shortcuts to the program tab. Personally, I don't really like loading more than 9, because scrolling down is a little tricky (it's easy to launch a program in the first 9 by mistake).
Umm...lol, not sure how your post helps any to answer my question about the software suggestion Stevieraveon made. I was trying to find out if this was a "cooked ROM" or just a set of cab files that I could hard reset in case something does not work right.
This is what he suggested to me so I can get more tabs etc..:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164&highlight=stocks
I like my phone a lot and in most ways it is a step up from my HTC Mogul...but the lack of dedicated hard keys is taking a lot of getting use to, so some extra tabs would help get to those features faster.
Unfortunately not all of us are as comfortable as others when it comes to understanding how to install or deal with cooked ROM's. If it is all .CAB file installs then that I can deal with, no way can I afford to brick a $300+ phone that I just got on a 2 year contract.
I just wanna make my phone as quick and user friendly as I can without worrying about all this "bricking" I hear can happen if a custom ROM install goes bad on you.
Thanks again all....Bruce.
the only thing thats really new is the landscape tf3d has all the tabs now including home screen music and all that it looks like
that alone is awesome but yes of course it will port over
i believe 6.5 requires a windows key too so that might be an issue
We got slide2answer but nothing else from the changes made on the Touch HD, I'm not going to hold out for hope. And just forget about 6.5.
dont even stress it guys we all know someone will port it and probably make it better...i do hear u on htc at least giving the upgrade for 1st gen users but oh well. such is life in business

forget about 6.5? if you look in the roms section 6.5 is already on the touch pro
yeah, either way even if they don't not going to sweat it. I keep hearing that the Palm Pre might be released next month, and that device has really got my interest. If Palm does their applications store right to compete against the iPhone (keeping most applications free-$2) then it really has a chance to be a great phone.
They added the ability for it to support Flash today, also does copy/paste and a whole bunch of other features look promising. The keyboard is not as nice as other devices out there, but setting that aside all the previews for it have been really good so far.
So many choices lol.....anyone know if this is a "cooked ROM"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164&highlight=stocks
I think this might do what I am looking for, but if I have to mess with the ROM then I'll skip it...not out to brick my phone if something goes bad with the install.
Thanks all for your replies.
why are you so afraid to flash a rom? theres like 3 steps to it and pretty much impossible to brick it now it makes the phone so much better
Petitioning won't do anything but waste time. HTC will not listen.
I have been looking for a clear set of instructions on it that I am comfortable with is all. If you can tell me where to find a good set of instructions I really have been looking to give this a try. It's not something I have ever done before and I keep seeing people say in their posts that it might brick your phone.
I have been using the PHM Registry Edit program, but only for the most basic of stuff. So far nothing has gone wrong there thankfully. I also have the Advanced Configuration Tool version 3.3 with some of the stock settings changed.
Some of the mods out there look great. I just want 1 page that tells me everything as clearly as possible how to set my phone up for flashing to different ROM's and any additional software I might need.
If I have to get the phone serviced for any reason I will also need the ability to restore back to the stock Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM. (signed?).
Thanks !! ....Bruce.

You seemed to want to know how to re-organize your TF3D tabs. I gave you a link to an app that allows you to do this. All you need to do is download and install the cab. Try it out, you might like it.
My Touch Pro is a uk vodafone branded one, their branding of the TP absolutely sucks so, like my Kaiser, I have customised it.
However, I can't quite get it where I want it which is effectively the stock htc theme *.tsk and TF3D with the 'globe' internet tab, 'green' toggles on the comm manager and green highlight focus.
I have installed LantisOS TF3D with HD Contracts which gives me everything but the above mentioned.
I have searched and searched on this site but cannot quite find the tweaks that I would like. I don't want to flash another ROM as this is beyond my capability, I tried a number of routes to get what I want, I have tried;
tlr-manila
12aeon manila
Both do the same as the Lantis OS TF3D, they don't modify the internet tab or the comm manager or the highlight focus.
I have also tried using a theme installing using Diamond TF3D Config, still the same issue. I have also tried the following programmes too;
manila customizer
uitweak
Still the same
So, any help would be much appreciated beer tokens can be made available too.
Flashing a new rom is easier than it sounds. The guys here make things much more difficult than they actually are. I have the Vodafone TP and am using NATF's Standard 4.7 ROM. I followed these instructions to flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Agreed. My Touch Pro is my first WinMo device & I've only had it for 2 months. It must be on its 7th or 8th custom rom by now. Just dooooo it!
Take it step by step & you won't have a hassle - HardSPL -> Custom ROM -> new radio/rilphone.dll & you're sorted. Just don't flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA device and vice versa & you'll be fine.
Thanks for the help chaps, will have a look.
Ok, have decided for the moment not to change the ROM so still looking for help please.
Hi,
I have a vodafone branded HTC - though I didn't get it from vodafone.
I use ROMeOS and that gives me the "normal" touchflo tab buttons (though I now use IphoneToday)
I'm only a noob and I managed to flash my phone following those instructions (make sure you backup your stuff though) Plus I'm a girl, so it must be easy!

Not to worry, acceptance IS after all the first step. You're well on your way. If you pop down to the southern bit of Africa, I'll guide you through the process.
It's really not that big a deal and it adds the novelty of having a 'new' phone every couple of weeks. Just read up a bit in the ROMs forum and once you feel comfortable, then read some more. And if something does go awry don't freak out - there are a lot of smart chaps on this forum.
Case in point: Day after I got mine I hurriedly flashed a Touch HD radio to the phone. Suffice it to say that the phone didn't appreciate this much & I feared I sorted myself a very expensive paperweight. But after I dug out the trusty Nokia N95 and popped on here to READ some more, I got it sorted again.
Then again, I only made the mistake because I didn't read enough beforehand.

Although I am encouraging you to take the plunge, please don't hold me personally responsible if you do c#$k up your phone... Oh, and get the stock ROM/SPL downloaded as well. If something does mess up, or you need to return the phone for warranty purposes you can easily revert back to factory spec.
