there are many tools [paid & freeware] available for backing up. i heard that one of the best backup tool is Sprite Backup [though i've never used it].
if you want to backup just the contacts/appointments/smses/etc then u can use PIM Backup available in the forum, that's what i used when i upgraded first time. though this does not backup the original ROM.
best of luck with the upgrade.

Help Needed!!! Noob Here!
Hello Mobix,
I am trying for the past 2 days to upgrade to WM6 following your guide.
Initially, couldnt manage through the camera + voice command button so tried with Gene_HSPL.exe file i found in these forums.
After ages i am able to see SPL as 1.10.Olip.
But now theres another issue which is driving me nuts completely.
Whenever i try to run the RUU from Gene_HSPL in my desktop to upgrade the ROM, my activesync connection dies out and i have to reset Gene.
I have downloaded all files from the links you mentioned in your How-To.
So i m quite stuck with the 1.10.Olip and the step to do after this.
What do i do next?
What do i do to keep my active sync connection going till the full update of ROM???
Desperately seeking suggestion and help here.
Ramon.
Resolved!
Hello Friends,
Dunno how or what or why, but things seem to solve on its own.
After running the RUU for something like 20 times, i went past the blue-green-red screen and the update process started happening.
I have no idea how it happened and i am yet clueless abt the whole thing.
But i have the WM6 OS on my Gene now. I havent been able to get weather details for my location,Mumbai. The data download always fails.
The Internet connection seems to work and the MMS doesnt work.
Have tweaked the registry to set Segoe UI as my system wide default font and every thing looks hunky dory at the moment.
Will holler for help when i need some.
Thanks to Mobix, vukile, olipro ababreka, mun_rus, nirvana and all the others whose forums and posts helped me get this done.
p.s. gotta admit, for a man familiar to windows and linux, these ROM's are pure greek.
ramon_mac, nice to know u were able to flash wm6. cudn't reply u earlier as my system died on me so had to re-install everything.
reg default font, you will have to enable the cleartype for fonts to render properly.

Hi all,
This is my first ROM it's the stock ROM for devices shipped in Egypt. I have followed the process as in the kitchen thread but I don't know how to make sure if this ROM is working properly or not. So hope one of you guys can test it and tell me.
By the way I don't encourage anyone to use this one except those looking for warranty as the GPS is disabled in this ROM.

Yes, check this thread and my discussion with taiseer, he is really a nice guy and made a good job.
By the way if you are not intending to use arabic interface (i.e just reading and writing I encourage you just to use Mobidiv 416 and the keymapper to support the Hardware Keyboard.

Just a kind request to check out the links of the two parts as they are no longer working, and have this message "This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times." "This limit is reached" and I urgently need this ROM.
Hope to help me.
Thanks in advance

Many Thanks,
The connections through RapidShare is not allowed in my work. So, I'll dowload it once I get home then I'll let you know the result.
Thanks again
That's it
Works Great, Thanks a lot
Hi microfox,
Could you please provide us "What you did to enable the GPS"?
I get my Jade "Touch 3G" from Egypt and want to enable GPS.
Thanks a lot
I thought Jade had no GPS ship installed. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If it exists the only thing to do is to download the middle east rom from HTC site, it will be enabled by default 9again if GPS exists). Just go to support page, choose either the arabic or wwe rom, put your serial number and download. The rest is easy: connect to activesync, have more than half battery full, double click on the exe file you downloaded, follow the steps, and voila!!!
Hello xda,
This is my first public ROM (ONLY FOR NEW GENE), which I have been using for last few days without any issues. This ROM has been possible for two great persons of the Gene forum Sumit Bharadwaj aka krazy_about_technology and ramersonw. They have practically lead me by hand in cooking the ROM.
Thank you ramersonw for the GREAT Tutorial.[COLOR]
Thank you Sumit, for publishing your ROMs without protection , so that less mortals like us can use your ROMs as base to cook our own ROMs. As a matter of fact this ROM is based on Sumit’s latest Pro User 2 r 1 ROM. So if you like this ROM, the entire credit goes to Sumit. However if there is some problem, then sorry – I must have deleted something I shouldn’t have. Also please keep the Carrier splash screen, its my way to thank these two wonderful persons. I have deleted a lot of applications which I believe most people do not use, the list of packages that are not there:
1. Cyberon Voice Commander.
2. Voice Recorder.
3. Arcsoft MMS (MMS is pretty expensive, so I am not sure how many pple use it)
4. Windows TaskManager (WK Task is there)
5. Opal Phone Canvas.
6. Connection Setup.
7. Adobe Reader
8. Flash Player
Additional Applications in the ROM:
1. TCPM Player 0.72RC1
2. Dr. Gonzo’s Clean Fonts Cab (Modified), Thank a million Dr. G for getting me hooked to xda.
3. PointUI 2.0
This is my first ROM, so it may have some bugs which I have missed out. So please report the same. I will try to sort them out in the next release.
I am not posting screen shots as they are same as Sumit’s Pro User’s ROM.
Thanks again ramersonw and Sumit, you are the people with the greatest heart in this community (atleast to me ).
Vital Statistics:
Free Storage: 57.5 MB approx
Available RAM: >= 22 MB
If you have the guts to flash your device , please give feedback.
Thanks
Download instructions:
visit http://www.4shared.com/dir/13501030/be68af87/PointUI2.html
and download all the four files. Copy them in a folder and use Winrar to open the first file and extract it.
Great going Shaunak, Kudos to you! I may not download and use it right now, but i am curious about feedback and i'll try to support the rom by answering people's questions here, if thats ok with you BTW, can you send me the clear fonts cab and the carrier splash you are using, i want to see these but i am on mobile internet connection right now so i cannot download big stuff, comfortably. Will be returning to Delhi by 16th morning so would be glad if i get these before that.

@krazy: can you help me out ?
oh yes i will,but with old gene its complicated as all ofus know.i had to make two different roms previosly to solve the battery drain problem,and i am still not very sure whats the exact cause this. I guess first some new gene users should test it and then we can continue our efforts for old gene.

@Krazy : Please port the lite rom for OLD GENE. Also PointUI may be stripped from the current ROM ( I don't think it is really needed in stripped down version).

I don't think Sumit will himself port it to old Gene, the best he can do is help me porting it.
BTW Lite ROM doesn't mean a Gene just for making calls . Otherwise I wouldn't have included TCPMP either .
To me Lite means stuffs that are not usually required.
me downloading the ROM....
Thanks a ton to all the chefs who r cooking ROM for general people
@addictedtoxda Congratulations for ur first ROM...hope u will make more gud ROM...eager to check it out
@addicted2xda: Yes, please port it with the help of Krazy for OLD Gene. BTW you are absolutely right in stating the stripped down/lite version is just not a dumb mobileOS. I agree you have stripped the softwares/utilities which we do not usually require and retained the important and useful softwares. Just a suggestion PointUI may also be made optional.

@Addicted2xda: I am using this rom last 1 hour.
This rom is faster the sumit's rom (my Personal Opinion)
U can Add Acrobat,
song stop when Suspend ( think U can add reg edit with this rom by default)
why not add ur Black theme?
still I not find any bug....
anyway connection sating is necessary soft for all. Please add it,
I appreciate ur ROM building.

Some please help me out.will be thankfull to tat person
Although which apps are useful and which are useless is a subjective thing and depends from person to person, My personal view is that a lite ROM should contain utilities that doesn't cripples the original funtionality of ROM.
The highly unused parts should be removed, the parts that can be updated should either be updated or if they are frequently updated one, should be provided as recommended downloads and those software that can be easily installed on the storage card should be avoided to be included on ROM (but make sure they are not the one which just show that they are installing on mem card but have hardcoded paths.). Today plugins and dialer are the most important candidates to be included in ROM as they have to be installed on phone mem anyway. .NET framework and others should also be included. Flash plugin is controvertial, it works with some apps, but doesn't works with others.
Plus, initflashfiles.txt should also be checked for unnecessary file copy installations like i was having problem with Audio Manager in previous ROMS.
So as far as this ROM is concerned, i think shaunak should not have included TCPMP and PointUI2 is something that is currently under heavy development so it is up to him to include it or not, as including it provides improved speed of point ui, but it hampers updating of it.

Yeah, you are absolutely right. But we are so fond of flashing our devices (well most of us, as you can see from frequently changing signatures ), I think by the time TCPMP will be updated, all us would have already migrated to a new ROM .
@amolji & nipu_cse thanks for you encouraging words. Actually my ROM may appear faster than Sumit's is because a lot of stuff has been removed from his ROM. But then its a personal opinion. Like I have seen some pple who believe WM 6.5 with honeycomb menu has a faster response than Pro User 2 r1 . I couldn't handle its slowness for 1 hour even and immediately reflashed. Eye candy is good, but not that good . I will definitely keep your suggestions in mind. BTW I tried to integrate the black theme (its not mine, its of P1Tater - one of the Mods, so I wouldn't even dream to call it mine), but did not work .
@krazy: I hope you don't have any issues with the welcomehead file, its just my way of showing gratitude to you two guys
No man, i was a bit overwhelmed in the way you have written my name everywhere, highlighted Thanks. The file is ok and your doing a great job. Very nice
