Noob question on installin Windows Mobile 6.5 - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hello guys i have a question,
I am downloadin one of the builds from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502378
now to install it i just connect my HTC Touch Dual and follow the on screen instructions and do it or am i supposed to have to do other things before that?(like change radio and all that)?
and my phone is SIM free running Windows Mobile 6.1. Thanks alot in advance
And how do i get TOuch flo back? once i install Windows Mobile 6.5

Thanks for grabbing one of my ROMs
Before you do ANYTHING go here and read all about installing HardSPL. This will stop you bricking your phone if you have a bad flash.
Also, check what version radio you currently have. WM6.5 needs at least one of the 1.65.xx.xx radios but I would advise a 1.71.xx.xx radio.
Check them out here.
When you say "how do I get Touchflo back" what exactly do you mean?
WM6.5 handles it's own scroling etc. so TouchFlo isn't required. Or do you mean the cube?

YEah!!! i meant the cube!! thanks alot for your promptous reply!! SO basically i first flash HardSPL then the Radio to 1.7 and then i install your ROM! What i meant was how do i then get that cube back?!

Have a look in the Hacking & Development area - do a search in there and you should find a cab from a while back to install the cube.
Not sure if it will work as WM6.5 handles it's own scrolling rather than using TouchFlo. You may need to try a clone that uses FTouchFlo instead.

Help on flashing for a noob...

Hi all
I'm a total noob here and i'd like to flash my Qtek s200 G4 WM5 to a nicer rom. I read a lot of posts here and the wiki but i need your advice before i do anything.
Here is what i'd like to have :
- a rom without bugs or problems if possible
- a rom thats quite fast (i need ram and proc to use video and stuff with my bt headphones) and doesnt use too much battery
- a new interface (black vista like if possible) with scrolling and cube (like the pdaviet video on youtube)
- a tutorial or a step by step do do it without killing my phone
I know thats a lot to ask for a noob lol.
By the screenshots i like the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch. If its stable and doesnt use much battery i'd like this one but maybe i should try a newer one???
My questions :
- Do i have to upgrade to WM6 first?
- can i come back to my old wm5 rom (which works good) if i dont like the new and how?
Please feel free to give me links to posts i missed.
thanks for your answers and keep the good work.
I think you can find alot of useful links and information in this thread. I also wanted to have the pdaviet 4.0.0.06 rom, but I went for Gullums multilingual Coffie rom instead, I haven't regret it, works perfectly, faster and more stable than my old WM5.

1) no, you must HardSPL/SoftSPL your device first.
2) yes! Depening on the brand of the device, you can either download the official RUU (check out the wiki) or perform a ROM Dump to a spare SD card. (also check out the wiki)
Thanks An3Azz.
l3v5y, i'll check this one
any other member wanna tell me which is the best rom?
the more stable and the best looking?
I think the opinion of most users here is that the best ROM is in the eye of the beholder! I like my own ROMs as I cooked them to be the way I want them, others like other ROMs because of the way they are...

Fuze ROM vs Touch Pro ROM?

Hi,
I just bought an ATT Fuze and want to "clean it up" by installing a clean ROM on it.
I've done a lot of search here but there is SO MUCH information that in the end i'm still not clear about what's the latest and what's outdated.
So i'm asking a couple of questions. Answers or redirections will be much appreciated.
- If I want to install a custom ROM, should I pick a Fuze ROM or a Touch Pro ROM? (I am not using the phone in the US so I don't need to stick to ATT ROMs). Is one ROM better than the other by nature?
- Is there a "ROM-Status Wiki" or somewhere where one can go and check what are the latest FUZE/TPro ROMs available and what are the features in them? Or is going through all the threads the only way? What if I get a ROM and its not the latest? because there are so many threads out there.
thanks
The Wiki has all the info you are looking for:

Im assuming that you are referring to Official (non cooked Roms)
The latest English Touch Pro Rom is 5.05 which can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478657
The Touch Pro Rom is better because it has better GPS signal and no ATT crap and likely to run faster.
You can also get the latest Radio Rom which is 1.12.25.19
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487994
The only you need to do is get the cab that convert the ATT Fuze hardware keyboard when running Touch Pro Rom which can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474192
Before you do all this you need to Run HardSPL on the Fuze which can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
This is a latest ATT Fuze 5.08 "Test Rom" so you dont need to install the keyboard fix cab

Here is some latest official Touch Pro ROM Asian Versions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494603
Anyway read through and make an informed decision for yourself. Everything else I did not list are cooked ROMs which I personally not a big fan of. I like the official ROMS and make the customizations myself.
Thank you both of you. Between your two replies, you've answered exactly what I was asking for.
Much appreciated. Thanks again!
Rom Location?
I bought my FUZE in the US. But I am using it in Asia.
If I slash it with an English Asian TPro Rom, what difference does it make VS a non Asian ROM?
nothing really same old stuff. you just have to set your regions and time dislay and calendar display format. and of course change the keyboard layout to accomodate TP ROm on Fuze. You better off using the Asian Rom if you are using in Asia cause the Radio Rom should work better.
once again, thank you.
Thanks to your answers, I am getting more familiar with Raphael and the ROMs and trying out stuff.
I also like to install Stock (shipped) ROMs and then make my own customizations. So I have flashed the WWE Asia rom and its working very well.
But now I want to install the new Rhodium TF3D 2. It is recommended for OS builds 21000 or higher. However the latest shipped ROMs are less than 21000.
So now my question is, how can I upgrade my OS build to 21000 without installing a cooked ROM? I know the answer is probably "no you can't" so my real question is, "being a person who likes to stay as close to a Stock Rom without going into cooked roms, what the best bet to achieve this?"
Thanks again in advance.
dont know of a solution

How do i check the rom build, is the same as the rom version?? sorry fo the noob question
Settings -> System -> About
Should read something similar to this:
CE OS 5.2.21051 (Build 21051.1.6.4)
WinMO 6.1 = 5.2
ROM/SYS = 21051
AKU - 1.6.4
You can obtain additional info from Device Information as well.
HTH,
Closing thread guys..
Information on this is already available.

Best rom to date?

I'm new to the Advantage-modding community, so I'm kind of lost when it comes to the vast selection of roms out there.
I just ordered an HTC Advantage x7501, and am [excitedly] waiting on it's arrival. The seller states it has Michy's WM6.1 WWE 1.56Diamond Edition flashed on it already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408300
So I'm wondering, what's the latest and greatest rom available for the Advantage as of April 2009? The Athena Project 4.0 [Link] looks nice, but I'm not sure.
I appreciate your help very much!
*Edit: I already know which is the newest rom. I'm simply wondering in what ways do the top roms [Namely Athena Project roms and Michy roms] outweight each other.

Welcome to the forum
The athena AP 4.0 rom is getting a bit old now and AP 5.0 never got past beta stage, BUT to swap to SPL 3.5 you have to flash with AP 4.0 first, HAVE TO!!! most of Michy's roms are on SPL 3.5 so when you get your x7501 hard press the camera key and press the reset hole to see what SPL it is. He does do some SPL 1.2 stuff so tread carefull. Please dont try to flash a rom with the wrong SPL, it causes all sorts of troubles. You cant go wrong with one of Michy's roms. 1.88 is an XP style, 4.1 is a vista style, 6.1 is a manilla touch style rom, and now he is moving on to WM 6.5, his beta 4 is quite usable. It is mainly down to taste these days. most of the bugs are beta tested out, so they are better than stock roms these days. WM 6.5 is still beta so expect bugs and hangs. While you are waiting why not read the WiKi to get to know it better.
Regards
Jay
Thanks for your reply. I recieved the Athena not long ago. I found out that it has the 1.2 SPL.
"ATHE100
IP-v2.02
ATHE100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro"
Can you perhaps link me to a thread that describes in detail how to flash different roms/SPL's? I'm interested in that 6.1 Manilla rom, but I'm at a loss of how to do it. I've been browsing around that Wiki and can't really find a guide to flashing roms. First of all I have to figure out how to get rid of the rom that's currently on it.

Read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
But I would suggest experimenting with loading SPL1.2 roms first to get some confidence if you haven't flashed before.
Michy's roms from here are the most recent and fully featured http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
Good luck
That was just what I needed, thanks a million. It was much easier than I thought it'd be.

they're working on releasing packages and cabs. So far they only have GSM roms with it. More info here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86973
HAHAHAHAHAHA They can't even get 2.5 to properly work on the CDMA Raph, and now you want them to try 2.6???? Come on. I think you'll see a proper Android ROM before 2.6.
thanx 4 the fast reply
http://eliteteam.htc-hackers.mobi/pub/
i found on there the 2.6 rar dunno if its just a dump for manual install or what
yeah, I downloaded that once, to try to incorporate it into kitchen. It is very buggy. Half of it does not work. It also has the contacts problem like the rom over at everything TD/Pro. I think it may be the same Manila files.

Suggest a ROM!

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2, Telus CDMA version, and I've recently upgraded to an EnergyROM Windows Mobile 6.5. Now my friends want to upgrade too!
One of my buddies has an HTC Touch Dual from Bell Mobility, 20-key version, and is looking to upgrade to WinMo6.5, but so far most / all of the ROMs here appear to require the 16-key version.
Suggest a ROM for the 20-key HTC Touch Dual that'll work with Bell, and that has the Titanium interface please.
: )
I'd much appreciate it.

On the first post you can find some links (like 20 key input, Album 2.5) these you have to install too and other applications
vote for insomnia also, read the thread and you'll amaze for it
Im not a fan of imsonia, too many strange behaviours.
I change roms every now and then and that one was the only one I had to pass thru the original rom first to change into and from, to change back.
:/
I prefer clean roms, to have plenty of extra space and ram.
Clean by NemanjaLO is the one for me:
