I just purchased the ATT fuze and like everyone else I dont want all of the ATT stuff on the phone that comes with it. Im looking for something that is lite and wont bog down the phone on the performance end of things but still have the ATT rom feel. If anyone has had some success could you please give me some pros and cons and I do live in a 3g area. I like the ATT rom but dont like all of the ATT ware that they add on that you never use. Thanks so much for the help.
...dude, prepair yourself. If you look on the same page where your post is you will see 2 ROM chefs that have built their ROMs from the ATT without all the bloatware. Please do a little bit of research and show me some effort before posting, its right there staring you in the face!

I have the Titan Phone from Alltel and would like some info and guides on how to flash it to some of the new mods i have seen. Im not sure how to go about flashing or backing up my phone just incase the inevitable happens as we all have experienced before...UGH..LOL. Any help would be appriciative, and mod ideas would be great too, especially the a new internet browser i have been hearing about, instead of using this damn IE. Thank you
I need to know what i need to install first, such as a radio, the new rom and where i can find some mods that may fit my personality. Thank you for all the help you guys can give.

Look at the sticky at the top of this page and read the Wiki - it tells you everything you need to know. Once you have read it, come back and ask questions if you are stuck.
Hey guys, just joined your community and the pocket pc community all together.
I just ordered my HTC Nike (Touch Dual) from bell, and upgraded to unlimited data. I am told by others I work with, that romming is 100% necessary to get the most out of your phone.
I am just curious, is there a rom out there that is more heavily used than others? I see quite a few threads for different roms, and I honestly have no idea which one to go with.
To be safe I perfer to go with the flow, and do what everyone else is doing =p So if there is a rom that is considered most popular or has become the standard, can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
anyone?
I need a stable rom that will unlock the ENTIRE functionality of the device, I have not yet received it, its coming in the mail so im not sure the exact device version.
Its from Bell Canada (I live in canada), and it has WM 6.1 Pro
bump (please someone help me out with advice)
Im from canada so im not sure if it will be a neon or a niki. Bell is my service provider.
What I need most is all the features and applications locked out by bell to be unlocked and the ability to teather with bluetooth to my laptop for high speed.
I'll also be configuring it for ms exchange (Work related).
I have no idea how this rom stuff works or why there are so many or how to choose. All I want is someone point me at a good one for the above needs.
Thanks.
ok i got the Touch Dual version, its a Neon400, perhaps that will help with giving advice.
Thanks in advance!
use new 6.1 rom

awsome, do i need to unlock the phone for this?
and if so, do i just follow the stickied hardspl thread?
I tried allot of roms people have cooked, and they all have their pros and cons, Can someone Cook the original rom and take all that demo crap out? and leave it the way it is? Dont add anything just remove all the demos they put on there...
im surpised no one has done this yet..
I know about the bypass bloatware trick...but i think thats more bootleg than having the bloatware, can someone edit it and post it? leave tweeter game and the rest of that demo crap throw out?
thanx guys.
You dont need a cooked rom to remove the AT&T bloat.... this has been mentioned in TONS of threads and blogsites and a 30 second search could have found it for you....
Here let met help:

thanx
i know that, but thanx for being a smart ass. Things dont work right and things are missing when you do that GAY bloat trick... I guess imma have to do it myself... but thanx anyway
If you're not happy with the roms that have been created so far, then by all means please work on creating one yourself. Do not, however, start new threads asking people to make one for you. There are several fairly stripped down roms, and it's possible that one of the chef's around here would even help you out if you asked them. I don't believe there's a huge market for those wanting stock roms with no tweaks, and that is why nobody has done it probably.
I didn't note anything smart about the reply made by the other user here, so watch the attitude in the future. We are all to be respectful to the other users.

Ok, I hate being a newbie. God I hate being a newbie!
This is a rare problem on electronics forums... there is TOOO much information here!
I've never seen a forum like XDA before. I mean you guys are just freaking brilliant.
I've been into Pocket PCs and Phones for a while... but never into flashing ROMs.
Now with all the apps and tweaks out there, I'm just flooded with information.
I have a Sprint touch pro and after some weird mis-hap I had to hard-reset my phone.
So now I have a blank slate.
I've been doing ALOT of reading today. About 12 hours worth and I'm still left with a "DDDUUUUHHHHH" look on my face.
With SOO many ROMs out there I don't know what to choose.
I don't want a "light and fit" ROM. I LOVE features. I LOVE to show off all the "cool" stuff my phone can do to all the iPhone loving friends I have. I don't care so much about speed. I mean I want fast internet, and good video streaming. Other than that I've got no problem waiting an extra 500ms or whatever for a program to open. I just like having alot of STUFF.
Can any of you not so long ago newbs feel like telling what ROMs you chose and why?
Is there a better list of ROMs out there with a 3-5 sentence description all in one place? I've been to PPCGeeks looking at all the ROMs over there, but my god there's too many!
Thanks for the help guys.

pm sent offering to chat it out on IM. seems like u have bunches of questions.
NFSFAN 110. Has WM6.5 and TF3D2. Has some apps installed, most ROMs come with the basics, you have to search the forums for everything else you want.
thread closed
this kind off question is not welcome here
it always ends in fighting
only way to see whats best for you is to get flashing.

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.

Thank-You! I was just looking at NFSFAN's and it does look pretty darn good! Downloading it now and will see if I can figure out how to do it! ;-)

Look at my guide if you have never flashed a rom before. There are a few things that you will need to do before flashing...

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.
