you need to install ArcsoftMMS as a cab because I don't use MMS and I had a pool in the development and hacking forum and it looks like most people never use MMS.
Hi Gullum!!
After some days of use is time to report feedback :
- For some reason changin from landscape and backwards is done a lot slower than on the previous ROM I was using (Itje's Touch-It).
- Some problems when trying to toggle wifi from the comm manager. The curious part is that Throttle toggles do work perfectly...
- There are some app's I miss but I can install them form Cabs . (BS to OC the device for example).
- I miss your Diamond keyboard (okay.... it's a herald but.... ).
So... the only little thing anoying of the ROM is the first point. Other than that it's working surprinsingly good for a first (the previous one didn't count as you do it without testing device) beta. Congrats!!!
Keep up good work!

I have been bussy this weekend released the kaiser version of the rom then a funeral and a wedding.
I also found that the hardware keyboard is driver depending so I had to download all the languages version I could find for Herald and dump all thoese rom to get the drivers.... but I will work on the roms during this week so by weekend I guess to have all 12 languages ready and maybe I can get Czech too.
sorry for the late replay.
so THATS why it takes so long.... I always thought the keyboard was kinda "plugnplay", but i guess not (it should be), and the fact that you are doing all 12 languages....... dang. Nice, man.
and also, you should know that 100% of funerals are caused by life and 100% of divorces are caused by marriage.
I will start uploading tonight and post links when I have uploaded all 12 version.
Any screenshots ?
Please ! Let me take a look at it.... =)
hi guyz & gals, sorry I know it should have not been asked here, but I found it more of ROM related query rather than anything else, so here it is.
Few days back I tried a ROM modded by soft4vn.net people, it came with a dialer, a normal stock dialer which I didn't like & wanted to change since then.
I have some cab's of phone canvas & tried them all to no avail. I am still not able to see the canvas properly coming on the screen.
I wonder if the dialer is locked or something else that its not allowing me to change it to Phone canvas. BOB & other Cook's have already given it an option to change the dialer. but this ROM is not allowing me to inspite of the fact that there is nothing specific to their ROM.
Just looking for your help if someone with same experience can help me. That would be great.
Sorry Dave or anyone else who's on duty, if I have posted in wrong section, but believe me I found this one the right one & you can delete it once the problem is sorted out...
Thanks
Sak
What ROM is it? 6.0, 6.1 or 6.5?
I did this too, with the MBarvian opalphonecanvas. Always installed the cab with flight mode enabled and killed the cprog.exe process. You could try this if you haven't already.
I am using 6.1. Hey bro cryonic90, It just didn't work. Poor I am still getting the same problem after every tweak I could perform. Thanks for your concern friends.
I am still waiting for a solution friends. hope there must be one.
Here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3400139&postcount=18 think that's your answer, well not really an answer but saying why you can't.
"Didn't wan't you to get all excited b4 you clicked link"
LOLz Thanks bro, I was suspecting this as an old build problem, thanks for your reference, I am using inesoft for time being. Hope I can get hold of those .dll's in cab file. Lets see how that becomes possible. Cheers.

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...

Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...

- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

that i have no idea lets see if someone else have an answer
As an FYI I did not try ##634# in the stock verizon mango rom the phone came with, so it may have nothing to do with the new rom. I'm playing with the device on wifi only but would like to get it on PST and put it on a non contract so I can play with it with CDMA as well, see if I want to jump from android to win mobile 7.
So maybe I should have asked this in another thread, but I will wait and see if anyone knows this answer here.

When send SMS with Chinese, others will receive"_______"
Use FileExplorer，Reinstall “ServiceTools_01.provXML” and “EmbeddedTool.provxml” in “windows” folder.
That didn't seem to change anything, it still hangs on loading field test.
Can someone with this ROM verify ##634# or ##3282# works for them?

My phone work with ##3282# but ##634# not work it hangs on field test loading ...
Thanks, mine hangs on field test loading with both (as well as a couple other codes that HTC has used, either they do nothing or they hang)
I guess when I have time I will go back to the stock rom and see if it fixes it, unless someone else has a better idea. I need to change prl's at the very least to get it off verizon and onto a carrier that I can do prepay with.
I wish I knew more about windows 7, I have a 6.1 sprint touch pro, but this is completely different. Android is a mess but at least I can QPST it.
Before getting started with my post, I BEG any possible cookers, PLEASE PLEASSEEEEE do not take mwangs rom and repackage/rerelease it as your own work. He's already royally pissed off at GoldC users for stealing his hard work and then them taking donations for it.

This seems to be an issue with Spark_W's drivers. No clue when we can expect a fix, but this issue seems present in the stock rom as well. Verizon/HTC will prob need to update this in a driver fix... and who knows if they will ever do another official update for our phone. GoldC users are in the same boat with updates as us, so I'm wondering how many shared issues they have (I think the SMS issue is one, but they are stuck on CDMA only mode, unlike us).
I'm guessing this issue wasn't caught my them because HTC/Verizon didn't test the phone enough with input other then English/Spanish.

No, this appears to be related to the usage of Cotulla's full unlock.
The only fix for this right now is to cook the rom without Cotulla's full unlock.. but in that case you wouldn't have full unlock. For now, just do any additional programming you need to do with stock rom. I will post some links to "recooked" stock roms I have created that will work with HSPL in another thread. *edit* You can find the HSPL stockish roms here. They are the same as stock, except no SPL/RADIO/Spanish.
As for switching to cricket, I'm not sure how easy it would be to flash a new PRL to it, since it isn't as simple as it was in WM6.5 phones using ##PRL. I think you may still be able to use QPST, but I think you need to boot the phone in diag/bootloader mode. I wrote a custom diag driver to do stuff like this (You'd need to uninstall Zune to make it work right. @[email protected]), and I know it allowed QPST to connect to the phone and read data, but I never tired updating the PRL.
Other known issues with this rom:
You CANNOT program with *228. mwang has confirmed this with me that this is an issue with him removing a driver, and it will be fixed in next rom he releases. Only fix for now is to program the phone before flashing DFT Freedom at this time. In short: Don't perform a factory reset with DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy at this time! Otherwise you'll have to flash a different rom to program your phone successfully. (Without the driver required, if you attempt to program using this version of DFT Freedom for VZW Trophy, the phone will act like its programming, but will not get an authentication key, so you will get an error "We cannot currently authenticate your phone").
Some users have reported poor voice recondition. I can concur with this, but no fix so far. I'll have to try running a file compare on registry files to see if mwang tweaked any registry settings that might affect voice recondition and report it to him/yous peoples if I find anything. I don't have much free time anymore since I am employed again.
It also seems football released a new stock rom a few days ago. I'm guna go see what that's all about... maybe we'll get the SMS fix (a newer radio would be nice too) and a new official SYS (I won't hold my breath for that one!).
