Hi All,
I know this is a subject that has beaten to death but I just noticed this:
http://htcclassaction.org/#update_20080403_2
Could a ROM be extracted from a video driver enabled device (6500?) and applied to a Titan? It seems like it could be with all the talent in the posts that have been giving us WIN6.1 and GPS radio months in advanced.
What are the opinions of the experienced members? Are there any specific problems that would make this impossible?
I am posting this because last night I tried to view this site on my titan and after 5 min of frustration I gave up.
Thanks
Chris
I think it will be sometime in the near future.
Watching the way things trickle from rom to rom around here I can see it happening. It does depend on getting a good driver ROM and dump of that rom though... I do see it in the future... question is how far away is the future?

Hi no2chem I'm glad you read this thread and I'm wondering what means that laugh....could be something like "IMPOSIBLE" or could be an "IS ALREADY DONE"...........just wondering
Impossible.
It appears that the benchmarks of the 6500 were either fake or HTC pulled a bait and switch with the review unit. Even production models don't perform that well.
this would be amazing. and im pretty sure itd save me $400 (so i wont have to get rid of my titan). thats the only real complaint i have nemore thanks to all the talented hackers here and at ppcgeeks.

So now there are roms out there with 1/2 the video drivers and such. Should we expect a performance enhancement rom for the Titan soon?

i am not competing with anybody... i have made my attempt to port the kaisers driver and had no success. if no2chem can do it, ill ask permission to use his driver.
Well said!
I have to admit that i know nothing about any of this... but it sure is interesting to follow.

If you read more of that thread No2Chem is working on a partial Direct Draw fix, not video drivers. The video drivers are still not available.
Are there any roms available for flashing on Sprint Hardware yet?
I would be interested if anyone with a Sprint Pro could please provide us with the Spirnt Manila Theme?!
P.S.: Since the hardware should be the same as with the original Pro, you shoudl be able to use all the Roms offered here...
Does anyone have the Sprint TouchPro ROM?
Or know where to download it?
There are some that are asking for a Sprint theme for original TF3D TouchPro..
So, If I can find the manila package or ROM then I can make a theme for others...

DON'T TRY IT. I repeat, DONT TRY IT. You'll end up messing up your phone or making the radio completely useless.
I think we should get a new forum for CDMA Touch Pro. That will help find relative information faster and avoid clutter in the GSM Touch Pro Forums.
Mods??
Please A different forum for CDMA PRO

alright.. another +1 here
it will be like the Hermes and the Titan
and we will need it now since Verizon will be releaseing theres apparetnly..
+1 as well.
+1 on a separate CDMA forum.
As far as people getting the Sprint theme for original TF3D TouchPro..... I'd be happy to help if I can.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro... But from reading the above, you wouldn't want to
use that rom for a gsm device...
If there's a way to get Sprint's manila theme from my phone... let me know
Not only is it a bad idea it will cause TONS of issues and will not work. There is no CDMA hard spl out yet but it will be out soon for updates on that and the Raphael Elite rom for CDMA Touch Pro check http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41345 Please also offer suggestions on what you would like to see in the rom. Thanks and enjoy!

thanx that would be greatly appreciated and btw go phillies. Lived in germantown for 3 yrs
anybody successfully dumped the rom yet?
Or rip the manila theme?
+10000 for me cause my phone is in a boot loop cause i didnt read this thread 5 minutes earlier hahaha.
Hate to say this but my ROM modding days are over, well for the Raphael.
I would like to thank everyone that I have learned from and all the contributors to the forum. Thanks for all of your tools and answering my questions when I was a new at modding ROMs.
Also I would like to thank the users of my work. It is cool to develop something that so many people enjoyed.
And I would like to give a special thanks too all that made donations for the time it took me to create the modded ROMs. I did not get into this for money. When I first started I suggested to donate to XDA instead of myself in my sig. Once my phone had it's little accident I thought to change my sig to what it is currently. I was planning on changing it back to donate to XDA if I ever raised enough for a new phone.
Unfortunately I do not have enough and my phone is totally screwed now. Before I tried to repair my phone I attempted to create ROMs with the help of others testing but it took up way too much time. I managed to rig what was left of my phone together to get into a state where I could have used it for testing purposes. It has now gone competely haywired on me and will no longer run.
So thanks once again to everyone. I will still be lurking around and helping when I can.
Thank you for all your contributons. You will be missed!

Well lets see
Good luck.
Thanks for your great roms..
I always appreciated your work and you were one of the less that was able to cook without giving me the feeling the rom was crappy build. (yes, most rom cookers do create crap....)
If you ever buy a new phone, a raphael of something else, please inform us about it
I want to thank you for your efforts. I have been using your ROM for over a month now and its been great! Good luck to whatever you choose to do down the road
we hate to see you go. Our community will be losing a tremendous asset. If this is the last of you, many thanks and appreciation for all the blood sweat and tears.
If we get to see a triumphant return, then we'll see you live and fight another day.
thanks again, for all your hard work.
i figured there is someone on here that works for ATT that can hook him up.
Sorry to see you go mate, have had a couple of your OEM packages in my kitchen for a while
Always sad to see a Chef who has lost his frying pan...
Hopefully, we'll see you around here again soon.
You were the first ROM I tried, best ROM I tried. Your 5.4 build was absolutely amazing. I appreciate all your hard work, and you responded to every question that was asked, unlike some other cooks here. If you ever do come back, that would be one of the most triumphant returns I have ever seen.
Hey thanks for all the support guys. I will be back whenever I get a new phone. If it is a touch pro or whatever I will be back in the ROM modification game.
I recently went back to school and I have a tight budget so it is not so easy to drop another 400 bucks on a phone again. Maybe after my papers are done and finals I can find some extra work to get some extra cash.
I am still tweaking my 6.5 kitchen to be prepared if something comes along.
Thanks!

Just another "sorry to see you go" comment. You were super-helpful when I was using your ROM and kitchen, and a pleasure to be in touch with whenever I had a question. Here's hoping you get a new phone soon because 1) The community will miss you a lot and 2) Dude, you deserve to have a phone!
im sorry to see you go! I know personally you have been a big help for me in my endeavors. Raphael forums will miss you! Thanks for everything!

Thanks guys!
Glad to see your ROMs are doing so well!
When I am done with my last exam I will try to create some new 6.5 ROMs. Hope I can catch up to you guys
Definitely a great kitchen! I am going to try this out today. Does the batch file delete all the "useless" files to make the ROM fully stripped down? For instance, mvbarian's kitchen from Kaiser did this and it made it a "lite" version. I would like to do the same with this but I am new to the fuze/raphael. Once again, great job on your ROMs and kitchen.
Howdy Folks,
First, I apologize up front about being such a newbie to flashing phones.
I've been reading through numerous forum threads and was just wondering if someone could point me to one of the best ROMs that I should use? I saw a number of them @ ppcgeeks and on here, including Vetvito's, RSTG, etc....but I wasn't sure which one I should use; there's just too many for me to choose! ;-)
Thank-You very much for any tips, I really appreciate the help!

It is really up to personal preference. If you are looking for speed, I would go for the NRGZ roms (at PPCGeeks). I used to use his stuff in my Raphael and they are blazing fast and stable (comes with the price of extended battery drain though).
MightyRom is also a good choice as well. After that, I returned my wife's TP, so I have not had a chance to play with Vevitto's stuff.
One last one, NFSFan... his roms for the Vogue are fantastic, so you may want to take those for a spin as well.
Like I said, ultimately, it is up to you...
Happy Flashing
Thanks for the tips! I guess I'll just have to try a few and see what I like!
One question that I just thought of.... Are there any that have 'good' battery life? I notice the mention of NRGZ being a little rough on the battery; I travel for work, so I don't believe I could handle anything that hits the battery any harder than the stock ROM. LOL
NFSFAN's latest TP ROM update is by far the best out there.

Thanks, You guys are awesome!
Sorry if this question sounds completely stupid (I'm very computer literate, but not very phone literate): I've been wondering about this - I keep seeing the term "unlocked"; does that mean that once this phone is unlocked that I could use the phone on another carrier (if I have a contract with them of course)? For instance, this is a Sprint HTC Touch Pro, and I have a contract with both Sprint (for this phone) and ATT for another phone (that I really don't like); would it actually be possible to use this Touch Pro with my ATT contract?

no, when you bought your sprint touch pro it was locked..you have to unlock it in order to flash your phone.

Actually, you will not be able to use this device for any GSM carrier (GSM meaning any carrier that uses a SIM card in the phone for it to get service). Sprint is a CDMA network, which means that you will only be able to flash it to another carrier by doing two things: unlocking the device to be able to install carrier specific files (PRL and such) and asking your prospective carrier to put your device's ESN into their database and adding it to your account (linking your MIN and MDS numbers to the phone's ESN).
Unlocking for a GSM device works slightly easier. If you SIM-unlock the device, you can change it from carrier to carrier without even having to tell them that you are using a different device.
On the same note, if you do not unlock the device and try to flash a rom, your will semi-brick the device. And if you flash a rom not intended for that device altogether, you will fully brick it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks to all for the replies! I've successfully updated the ROM on my phone and it looks and runs great! Having a slight problem though, it will no longer connect up with my system (VirtualBox/WinXP Guest). Was working fine before the update, so I'll play around with it and see if I can figure out what has changed.
Thanks again guys, I definitely appreciate it.
Calling all Chefs, Cooks and backyard Dabblers! Our newly unlocked (and VERY MUCH behind-the-times) Telus/Bell Neon400/P5310 is in dire need of a ROM upgrade. It has the memory, the GPS and cojones to be a good phone but Canada crippled it.
Can somebody help us with this thing?
Hard-SPL and stock ROM dumps are here.
Phone specs are HERE
Everybody thank Jockyw2001!!!
Oh yeah, people can place their ROM feature requests below if you like.
