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.

2 all
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.

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?

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

this is only spb mobile 3 with a background picture

spb mobile 3

but where can i download it?

You have to buy it, it isn`t free.

owhh oke and is there a other way

no there isnt any othery way, if you want to use it, BUY IT

The vendor gives you a 20 (or maybe 14/15) days trial period. So go to SPB website and download the trial version for free. If you like it, Buy It. I bought it for my father's HTC Elf and it's very nice. I've an HTC Touch Diamond2, and I love the TouchFlo 3D interface, which is much better than SPB Mobile Shell 3.

There is.. ..wait for a giveaway someday and participate...
People should really buy some software every now and then. These guys do their work for a living actually.
Concerning your question in the first post.
- It's indeed Mobile Shell 3. But with a custom theme.
- Custom background
- The taskbar is free and you should be able to find it on XDA

That was MINE...
It is SPB mobile shell 3.
I made the Wallpaper and organized the theme.
I will attach the wall, and the theme can be replicated by looking at the screen shot and adding things yourself.
The taskbar is from tsowen... unsure as to which one though. Search them...
I like RETRO, MODERN styles, so this is what I dreamed up.
I consider it an honor to have people looking for it.
THANKS for asking for it none the less.
NOTE: Spb Mobile Shell 3 isn't FREE technically, so you may have to "purchase" it or something else.

Hey dandruff333,
What error message do you see?
As of now there is only two known issues/bugs
1. Samsung omnia2 and omniscient pro crash with an out of memory exception upon selection of a section
2. Devices with different regional settings crashes with stack overflow exception.
Is it either of these or something else new? Kl possible please do paste a copy of the error message. would be much useful in resolving the problem in a shorter period of time.
Thanks

Here, some screenshots took from my SGT S2 8.0:

yes, but partially. I have writed some text in the java files in italian to test the app on my friend's phone, so those text will be italian. However, i'm planning to extract string resources from the java code to make it fully translated in various languages. For now i'm focusing on user experience and i wish to know if it is working for most phones. For example I've built it for Android 6 as target version but on my sgs2 plus with CM 13 the app crashs at start, so i need to understand why this happens. So i need testers wich run KitKat or Higher. Thank you very much

Thanks but does it support MMS ?
Just install for me too it crash under cm13... So no way to test...

Understood...so there's a problem with Marshmallow. I' trying to figure it out. As far as i tested this version, it works with all versions of Kitkat and Lollipop with almost no apparently problem. To answer your question, no. For now the app supports only Sms as the idea was to make it as lighter as possible. But this is a feature that will be implemented if i make the app stable and working for all with no crashes so don't need to worry about it
