Hi, sorry for the noob question, I'm new to this. Just got the AT&T Fuze and would like to remove all the AT&T crapware they load on it, also go to the default Touchflo 3D skin (with the black background, revolving numbers for the time, etc.). Could someone point me in the right direction? Do I need to reflash with an HTC ROM? I don't want to lose the 3G capability, of course, and want to be able to go back to the AT&T ROM in case I need to return it. I also don't seem to have support for WPA/WPA2 on the Wifi, only WEP. I don't know if that's a limitation of the device itself or the AT&T image. I don't need a step-by-step, just a push in the right direction, I'll find out how to go about doing whatever I need to do.
Thanks!
look up "remove Fuze bloatware". Trust me, the info you need is found there.

Hi all... first post and all that, plus novice when it comes to flashing ROMS etc!!!
My question is, if I upgade my ROM, how to I get back all the T-Mobile (UK) GPRS/3G internet settings etc?
I don't mind loosing any installed programs cos I know I can easily re-install, but finding those setting is currently stopping me from upgrading my MDA Vario II
Cheers, Stew
Configure your settings manually.

As the post above says, configure the settings manually, if you are planning on changing ROMs (if you go with XDA-Live you have to configure manually anyway) then its always best to know the settings fairly well.
SMS and voicemail settings are provided by the network so you dont need to know them, the GPRS settings can be found here and the MMS settings can be found here good luck!
A good place to start is to have an activesync account with someone like Mail2Web so you just resync to get back your contacts/email/calendar appointments and tasks (yes you lose them aswell when you upgrade your rom).
Ok, so manual re-input it is... thanks for the prompt reply
Another tiny question, the Extrended ROM - it the contents worth keeping once a ROM update is done? I was kindof hoping that T-Mobile might have used this for all their settings???!!!
Probably not really worth keeping, unless there is any games etc???
What ROM were you intending to upgrade to?
Yeah, they might be in there. But most likely they're in an XML file somewhere in the orig ROM... I think. Isn't this where carrier GPRS, MMS, etc settings come from?
EDIT: You can try these CAB files, but I the ones I tried for my carrier didn't work.

I'm gonna wait until the next release of WM6 (hopefully in the next few days)... I've been reading the thread and it sounds fantastic! for now though, all I've done is upgrade the radio to v1.27... Even though I have a new Vario II, the ROM (currently v1.21) and radio was old - so I really want to update the little beast as soon as possible...!
Have you tried any of the WM6 Roms on a UK T-Mobile Vario 2 yet?
Looks like you are at the same stage as me, I have updated mine RadioROM to 1.27 aswell.
In addition I have backed up the entire ExtROM and the customisation cabs located in the Windows folder just encase.
However I have yet to make the push to WM6, when you do let me know how it goes?
I have the AT&T 8525 which I believe is called the Hermes, but I've heard about a million names for one device I'm starting to get confused. Any way I successfully unlocked my SIM/CID and now I'm looking to update my rom. I use T-Mobile and would like to get it set to the most basic factory settings that T-Mobile would use themselves so I can use all the features on my phone. At this point I can hardly receive messages, cant get into T-Zones, or anything.
I did do a search of the forums and on Google and I couldn't get any clear guidance on what to do. XDA is freakin awesome and I know you guys know the right path.
Any help is appreciated.
I just installed BLACK and its working great. I havn't tried any of the other roms, but don't think I want to.
I'm still having major issues with ActiveSync though. It seems like any time I change something I have to delete my device and restart it. Basicly I think ActiveSync sucks.
My stock rom came with a XM Radio application, that when searching, I can only purchase it. Is there a way I can flash to stock ATT rom, then back that application up, and reflash? Also, where would I find stock ATT fuze rom that has the APP? I found one, but it had no APP. Or, does anyone happen to have a .cab for the XM application?
It is a perilous journey, and one must seek the guidance of a skilled master in the art of .CAB'ing. As one often must go where no man/woman have gone before - to boldy .CAB where no .CAB ... ok I'm getting carried away.
That said, are you sure that the version on the AT&T ROM is unlimited? For some reason, I seem to recall seeing that it had an expiration (time limit).
Loved to be proved wrong on this one and on Shazam MusicID.

I'm with hilaireg on this one - I don't think it's a free app. But it does come in the ROM as a cab, so I can upload it for you if you want to try it.
EDIT: XMRadio.3.0.4.68563_signed.CAB
I installed it, and attached a screenshot of what it says.
Cheers mate, maybe you can also love my question on how to add more icons to my home screen? Like how tomtom added itself? I'd like to throw a SMS on icon on there, and maybe GPS, etc. Or icons on any other screen for that matter, the other tom tom icon is half off the screen, I would like to put it under utilities or something... how can I do all this?
Bleh, I know somewhere i found a place to add/remove a very limited amount of things to the home screen, but I maybe became blind, or it's gone.

If you're referring to the ROM in your sig, i'd suggest posting the question in that ROM thread.
Also, it would be helpful to forum searchers/readers if you could change the subject of the first post to something like:
"XM Radio application from ROM"
Notes Taken.
hi guys,
Please bear with me, i am very inexperienced to this. I have a Sprint TP & while I dont hate it, some things really annoy me. Im not sure if I need a custom rom or just a few tweaks & clean up the exisiting software, hopefully you can help.
THINGS I HATE:
Screen Lag from portrait to landscape. Sometimes I have to open & shut the phone 5 x's & take out the stylus before it switches. & general TF3D lag.
Constant notifications of messages being sent!
Not having month calender view be default.
A better way to lock keys rather than having to punch in #'s (the pre has a nice lock feature)
Battery life.
Flash Support?
A straigt up contacts button without having to load my fav, then hit a button, then load.
If some1 could point me in the right direction that would be cool. Ive read a bit & a custom rom seems a little scary, so Im nervous to do anything that complex.
THANKS!
Aight I'll bite. The screen lag your S.O.L. without changing to a custom ROM. You can try some of the reg hacks but I never found anyone them to be worth it on the stock rom.
You can change the message sent notifications in the reg or you can find a cab some where. (Searching helps) but most custom roms already have this.
Calender view is an easy one just open the calender and hit menu>tools>options and change start in to month view.
Battery, again custom rom.
Flash support. its there, again searching helps.
I noticed a huge performance and battery life increase when I quit using TF3d and 6.5 default for the today screen on any rom. You can find all those settings when you hit start>settings>today
hope that gets you started. has far which custom rom to start out with. MightyMike, Juicy, and, SSS are good starts.
Overall, do your homework, get your **** straight and go to town. It can be fun trying new software and roms on your phone and all the info is here and on ppcgeeks.
Thanks for the help. Ive read a few things here & there, but it does get confusing & i just dont want to brick my phone, that is why i am tentative about custom roms... I found a new browser for flash support (skyfire) but it looks like crap. Maybe over the weekend i can read up on the custom roms you suggested. Thanks again.
Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
I'm new too. There's lots of good stuff up in the Raphael Wiki to get started with.
so, ive seen this before
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
Where is that exactly?
& i was just over @ pcgeeks, is seems you can put the stock rom onto your phone if needed. Is this true? Would you be able to bring it in for service if you do that? or would they be able to find out you flashed it?
You can flash the stock rom back onto the phone. Just remember to relock it as the last step.

if you see anything with HKEY or HKLM it is referring to a registry edit. To do any of registry edits you need a registry editor such as (but not limited to) PHM or Resco explorer. These are free .cab files that can be downloaded automaticly to your phone.
What they are saying at PPC is that if you flash any roms to your phones and something happens to it or you need to take it in for repair you HAVE to change it back (or flash it back) to its original operating system...you know the laggy nonresponsiveness lol. Otherwise you run the risk of never being able to buy a phone from that company again and I dont know what else but I keep imagining public castration...which is extremly scary to me <_>
As far as battery life etc, there are some tweaks for the battery life and certain ROMS actually save battery life. There are also some programs that save battery life as well.
Theres a locking function called JMZ lockscreen that is included in some roms...personally I dont use it but then again its user preference.
I would recommend if you are wanting to change your phone a little. Look into how to unlock your phone so you can start flashing roms. The initial process takes a little bit of time, but its like riding a bike everything takes time. feel free to email me if you want and have any questions and Ill do my best to help you out.
*edit* One last thing that is CRUCIALLY important. When you go to flash a rom if you are a CDMA (verizon, etc) carrier do NOT try to install a GSM (att, etc) rom on your phone or you will kill it.
I will definatley be reading up on this stuff this weekend. I cant stand typing messages sideways anymore. Thanks for your help. Im sure Ill be posting a few more questions soon!
Hey folks,
I'm rooting around my new phone trying to get rid of some standard stuff, bloatware, etc. It used to be that I couldn't move the clock from the home screen, but I managed to remove that. However, I am still left with the date that's stuck there and as far as I can tell, that's part of the "At a Glance" app/feature. Does anyone know if that's a singular APK (or perhaps several) that is (are) unrelated to anything else? I want to try removing it (them) just to see how it'll affect the rest of my phone.
Yes, I am aware of the risks and willing to Factory Reset if nescessary, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. If it's part of another APK and cannot be removed/altered in any way on it's own, then I'd like to know about that too ofcourse
Kind regards,
Seph
