You need the latest radio.
Un7zip the files to your sd card. Should be a Class 6.
Boot windows and run Haret.exe. Up pops a penguin!
I stole all of this, so thanks belong elsewhere.
Also they need devs to bring this to a rom. If you can help you already know what to do.
Perhaps those of us that 'want', but cannot help can fund a bounty?
What works, what doesn't? Which build? Any screenshots?
just download the package and run haret, and see.
Everything works but camera for me. right now I am working on using this for voip. Very funny to have an unlimited cell for ~10$ a month, or less...
It's not a rom, you just copy it to your sd card and run it inside WinMo. It is so easy to see for yourself I didnt jazz up the post. reset and you boot into WinMo
Working pretty decent on my WM6.5 by Ryan Mogul ROM on Page Plus network (verizon). Calls/SMS/Browsing/youtube/keyboard (both hard and soft) all worked. A few times applications would hang momentarily, and a couple times I had to instruct android to "wait" or "force close" (wait always worked)
I will use it all weekend and see how if I am able to use it full time.
A couple of questions for anyone who can answer:
1) How do I check available RAM?
2) Is it possible switch back to WM 6.5 without turning the phone off?
3) How do you quit an application in Android? Is there any type of task manager?
Because a reader asked, android version is 1.5
Works very well, I have been running it all weekend. I switched out the zImage for one that has the screen rotation corrected. Disable the touch input and android keyboard input, hardware keyboard only works great with less FC's. Switched wallpaper to the grey image. GPS and Bluetooth work, but sadly still no camera or wifi. At least for me. Market also works very well.
I think we could be off to a great start!
Who has any camera or wifi experience with our hardware?
Hey now, give a link to the zimage fix! Better yet zip up your stuff and share it!
freenode has an #htc-Linux They might know about the hardware.
Here you go! I have also made a few changes to the defalut.txt and associated user.conf files.

hi jrgii
it mean u already repackage, and i just need to install the Android ion to my mogul.
COuld you share the screenshot please ?
thanks
Loaded this on my Sprint Mogul, looks good. Is there a list for defining which hardware keys preform what actions?
What is the button(s) to press to shutdown the phone?
I just tried this on my xv6800.. I can't get any ringtones to work on it. Camera does crash the phone. but it did sync my contacts and calander from work Only need to get ringtones working.. but i'm about ready to buy a droid..
.nbh file?
Is there a zImage (or preferably *.NBH) file for the Titan available anywhere?
Something analogous to the .NBH file described at item 6 of the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024
I want to try and use the process described in that post, but need a proper .nbh file (zImage) to do so.
Yes, I have used search, so pointers to a URL would be much appreciated.
I have a question for those of you who have tried it. My phone does not show notifications and Marketplace does not actually download anything on my phone. I can send SMS and look at emails, however, so I know the internet works. Anyone else having this problem? It runs very well despite these two things.

I read the first post. In fact, the entire thread.
The first post references files to load Android off SDCard, but no guidance on how to load Android off internal memory (i.e., REPLACING WinMo, per the link I referenced). Hence, my reference to the link (so that those who would read my question would click the link and understand what I am asking).
Although I appreciate the fact that you took the time to respond, I don't find myself after having read your response any closer to resolving my issue of trying to load Android onto Mogul internal memory (as they are now currently doing with the Vogue). Any guidance you could provide in that regard would be much appreciated.

There is a zImage in every bootable android package, Including the one in the first post. I do not believe there are any ROMs for the Titan at this point, although work is ongoing.
Exactly what every Titan user wants
Thanks to both LargePrime and jrgii for their prepacks for this phone.
I was very eager to try this out after searching quite a bit, and this made it rather straight forward.
I loaded jrgii's as he mentioned it corrected the screen flip issue. Only thing is that it is super slow and has no audio on my phone.
any suggestions on the sound? I have downloaded the overclocker to see if it helps the speed issue. (maybe its the memory card?)
I can't wait for wifi support. I imagine the data charge$ are not going to be nice using the android features without wifi.
ok, back to play around some more!
One last Q for those who want the rom version. why? As far as I understand (maybe naively) loading off of SD still bypasses winmo so that your resources are used solely on android os. Besides, with the current builds for this phone, you would then be left w/o the bt/wifi/cam features unless you reflash back again, whereas the sd method you can simply reboot.
I realize that I am the newbiest on here (have just been reading until now, and finally registered so I could post here to thank these guys) All I ask is, if you know any answers to help me and care to reply, I do greatly appreciate it.
Until then, I will keep searching and reading hopefully useful and not outdated info.
Thanks!
Did you try the package I found?
I downloaded it, but did not try running it, as one of your posts indicated the screen flip issue. I will give it a shot. thanks!
Also, do you overclock your htc as well? And if you do, what program do you use/ do you launch it from android or linux?
I'll let you know how I make out with your pack

In both Crystal 3 and Mysterious 1.0 scrolling in Internet explorer is very slow. I have not tried Gullum 9 beta so I cannot comment on that one.
The problem is apparent after a fresh flash, or hard reset before installing any application, and remains the same. It is so bad that PIE is almost unusable.
I am surprised that little has been mentioned about this issue.
I stumbled upon a thread on these forums for another device that mentions replacing the webview.dll in the windows folder with the one posted on the forum.
Well it works like magic, PIE becomes smooth and fast.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding this issue.
Well.
I always found PIE very slow. So, this should be the last site you go to using PIE
www.operamini.com
It's just a Java Applet, but it's the best browser ever for any mobile platform as far as I'm concerned! Give it a try. I use the beta version, just add /beta like this:
www.operamini.com/beta
this is an old and real issue mentioned on crystal's thread earlier and, unfortunetly,it's regarded as something trivial.
to my knowledge the sluggish scrolling of pie, other apps like mdict also affected, have existed since roms built on core 18125.
of course certain roms, evo8 for instance, had taken the issue seriously that not only pie but also all apps affected by the symptom have been working like a charm.
i'm glad this REAL issue is singled out.
hopefully someone might help. thanks a lot!
@shylock
do you mind to upload the version of webview.dll u recommend here? thank you in advance!

Sorry there, didn't mean to cause offense. I just don't think PIE is a well thought out browser for Prophet. Also, I didn't know this was related to other apps as well. Which other Apps have you had trouble with?

don't worry^^ your experience about pie is true. i myself browse the internet with opera 8.65 in liue of pie as well.
as to how many apps are affected, i'm not sure but one of the most popular dictionaries in the world--Mdict is certainly confirmed.

I used Resco Explorer to copy and paste. It gives an error warning about possible data corruption, but I tell it to go ahead and soft reset.
can't find the webview.dll anywhere in my windows folder? I am running Crystal V3 with no problems, seems very stable. However, would appreciete any help on this issue - shoudl I just paste into the folder and see how it goes?
thanks for the tip, i was asking in a french forum, and nothing !
IE works like a charm now ....
Can I try it on a trinity ? same problem with IE .....

Hello there,
I am not certain if this question has been posed a hundred times before or not. If it has, I apologize for asking again; however, I have searched through the forums and haven't found the answer yet.
My question is: Does an applet or utility exist which could be run after I update the ROM on my phone (or perform a hard reset, etc.) which would essentially read in the entire Windows Mobile registry, then allow me to customize the OS to my liking, then finally re-read the registry and save the deltas off to a .REG file?
I love to continually update the ROM on my phone and after owning an Apache and now a Titan, I have become pretty proficient getting the phone back to the way I like it; however, I would very much love to double-click a .REG file (or whatever) to have all of the customizations reapply immediately.
Does such an animal exist?
Thank you,
Erik

I havent seen anything that will create the delta's that you want but SPB Mobile back up will create a registry capture than you can reload that exact registry from that point in time. I dont know if that will help you but after months of not getting an app here or there to cook into my kitchen correctly I realized why bother. Just use the back up program after flashing and installing and I get the EXACT results I was looking for.
Good luck!

I would suggest against this if you are flashing different ROMs (i.e. 3.2.0 and 3.2.1, etc) as there will be different drivers that these programs rely on. It could cause some problems that a hard reset won't fix. Some people see no problems and other senior members have felt the burn after trying to reimage their device.
I would suggest looking into UC customizations for a better solution.

Thumbs up
Works brilliantly with my Titan, am running DCD 3.2.5 with it. There is a lag when scrolling thru emails and texts and an unsigned error when i try to open my photos and videos.
Killed my ram tho, had 22MB now down to 10MB, definitely made for vogue not titan. Gonna to tinker with it some more, some registry tweaking to see if i can make it perform faster but overall a great addition

All my tabs are working just fine, it picked up all my contacts pictures in HTC home, i can call them just like i could before, i can scroll and read and send texts and emails, opera works great, audio manager is working great, its got my album covers showing, weather I just configured and it's working, haven't tried google maps search tab yet, will post and only other thing not working correctly is the keys in the settings tab, my wallpaper and sounds keys dont work, im getting no response when i press them, needs a lil more work but is working fluid and the lag from earlier seems to have disappeared

My ram shot up to 17MB now
Everything works unbelievably well now!

I am trying it out, got most everything working besides the email or text messaging tab closing touchFLO randomly. It seems to be a memory hog too, bet it would run great on No2chems latest Cool UI, cant wait until they get a few more bugs worked out.

Fast and has great memory. You lose the camera though. Probably the best ROM I have run so far and he is still playing with it.
I have been running the initial 2d touch flo and the most recent version on my Sprint Mogul. A few minor bugs but otherwise it is running great. I am running it on DCD's 3.2.6. My RAM is hanging around 72% after some use.
The bugs include loss of volume control via the speaker icon at the screen top. And some problems getting the Opal audio manager to see my music.
The crew working on this project is really on the ball! Hope this helps anyone considering trying it out. So far I am happy...

Damn. I dont care for my camera anyhow. It comes in handy every once in a blue moon, but I'd rather have speed. Hmm. Maybe I should wait till a more stable version. flashing is killing me.
the development and hacking area of XDA has about 3-4 running threads about manilla2d with hundreds and hundreds of posts --- its a wreck.
Not to mention every htc owner is trying to get their own specific device going with this new touchflo. I would suggest that jeep14 rename this thread to something like "Manilla2d / Touchflo 2d development for the Titan" and we can use this as command central with some updated info in the first post. Otherwise its so unorganized.. Jeep14 help us get organized here buddy.
Just an FYI I have the latest touchflow2d on my device and half the features dont work. Just a status update to how bad this is. Not sure why every one else isnt jumping on board with this right now. it is like HTC Home 5.0 or something its GREAT!
I uninstalled the last version (which was hell) and installed the latest, and it still eats RAM like candy.
The next logical choice for me was to flash nuerom 3 pre1 and holy crap does that ROM fly! wow. no other words can describe it. I loaded again the latest M2D version on this ROM and it works awesome!
And I still have more RAM at boot than my buddies Kaiser.(almost )
This is sweet. I miss some of the functionality of DCD's finest but this rom (with 12 MB page pool) hauls ass.I will probably run this for a while and flash back to DCD, but for now this blows my mind!

If not to make this thread an organized central thread then what is the point of this thread to begin with? just to beg DCD or GC to do something?? The thread name is misleading, that is my point.
I am running DCD's latest, and others are running this NoChem business which I have never tried (the rom is in beta, limited releases, and still has bugs)
My issues as of now, that i can name off the top of my head.
Youtube doesnt play (error playing the videos)
internet wont launch Opera
Album doesnt work at all, it recognizes no pictures
Havent tested music..
We do need a central thread for TITAN users, and we need it here. Not random posts spread through out XDA. Just common sense.
edit:
I installed and tested this, but bug and error reports just clutter the main threads. And to be honest, I am not much of a developer so I just sit back and watch things unfold. But keeping device-specific chat about this project right here in our forum may help others here.

1. I have no idea why the OP started the thread. Maybe it was to ask someone else to get it done. As I recall this was posted before any thing was released for other devices.
2. dcd 3.26 does not have some of the files that nueROM 3 pre 1 does. Probably why everything doesn't work right away.
3. Apparently you are missing a file of some sort. Which YouTube cab did you download? I am using the original YT.cab and it works but it could be something in my ROM that is helping. There is a reg patch to get opera working (assuming your Opera has been installed to Program files). Oh, there is someone reporting that they have YouTube working on dcd 3.26 in the YouTube thread so obviously it can work.
Install YoutubePlay
Open up Regedit
GO to:
HKLM>Software>HTC>Manila2D>InternetWidget>Customiz ed>0
Changed CustomizedURL to
\Program Files\youtubeplay\youtubeplay.exe
Did you install the new camera album? For music I had to install the older Kaiser audio manager and then the new audio manager.
4. No we don't. That just spreads it out even further. Heck, someone felt the need to open another thread about modifying the xml file. That one should be closed and the info kept in the skinning thread. The other problem is people wanting to be lazy and not read things that are going on. Then they post stupid crude like "does it work for my device?". That clogs up the threads with all kinds of fluff. If this program was only for the Titan I would be right with but since it is for a large number of devices it is in the appropriate forum. Of course, this is my personal opinion and since I am just a member I can't control what happens.
5. Your link is broken.

1. You are right on that, it was an early post. I just would like the member who started it to maintain the first post and rename the thread, if we are to keep using it. That's what I am really trying to say.
2. I have no objections to using the nochem rom, I would like to test it out, however I cant find a link and it seems to be a limited release item.
3. The youtube cab I used was HTCYouTubeQVGA.zip from the HTC YouTube from Diamond And Opal.Jade thread. I will investigate that thread some more, now that you mention that someone has it working. So you are saying I still have to use YoutubePlay and cant get that beautiful one above to play the videos? The app itself runs.
Opera, maybe an issue on my end... I think the Opera Mini install that I did may have been corrupt somehow, so I cant really attribute that to anything yet.
4. I saw the XML editing thread, and it was pointless. But back to point number 1, I believe that here in the Titan Upgrading forum we should have the dedicated thread for us TITAN users. Then we wont have so much clutter in the Hack and Dev forums from noobs asking too many questions. I see it as helping both parties.
5. Yea that link is broken.. i'll take it down.
Thanks for your help... I hope to get a nice TouchFlo 2d customized for the Titan .cab up here soon ... that would be great!
Scott’s VZW ROM - Working VZ Navigator (eRice kitchen v1.03.7) - Rev 1 out!
UPDATE 19 DEC 2008 @ 18:00 Central Time. New ROM is out. Consider this thread discontinued. Files will be on the website for historical purposes. I would recomend upgrading to my latest ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461524
UPDATED 12 Dec 2008 @ 19:00 Central Time
** You will need to dial *22899 after you flash to reprogram. Do this before anything else.
** Other model phones from other carriers will loose custom EPST settings per NexVision's testing.
REVISION 1 Changes at the end of this modified original post
This ROM IS FOR VZW USERS ONLY!
Greetings fellow VZW users. My first creation for us is Custom a ROM based off of eRice’s kitchen in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46965.
ROM Info:
**The ROM I created is nearly identical to the “STOCK” ROM with a couple minor additions and an upgrade to the core CE OS files to version 5.2.20931. I pulled all the apps and drivers from the leaked VZW ROM in this into the eRice kitchen from this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741
**I stripped out the Sprint drivers and applications from the eRice kitchen and added the VZW drivers and Apps from the VZW leaked ROM. It was fairly seamless to do. I tested VZ Nav and it worked great!
** This ROM is considerably more smooth than the stock ROM and more responsive in most applications including Touch Flow. No, it doesn’t fix our missing memory problem but I dont think you will notice it as much now. What makes it great is it is based on the 20931 CE OS but retains the 100% stock look via proper drivers and applications.
**VZ Navigator runs well on this ROM!
As far as I know this is the first “Custom” ROM with any sort of GPS for the XV6850.
**********************
*Revision One Changes*
**********************
Added N2A Weather Patch to Autoinstall. INcludes most US cities and patched weather server.
Added Diamond TF3D Config to Autoinstall (Runs with no errors)
Added Nue Fonts with a few extra fonts than what the OEM normally has. They look great on this screen!
Added Advanced Config 3.3
Added Turn off SMS Sent Notification - cabbed by "mixtapeking1900"
Added DotNET CF 2.0 along side DotNet 3.5. DotNet 2.0 installs first then ver 3.5 via Autoinstall (CONFIG.TXT in extended package OEM for the kitchen users.) I bieleve either could be removed but not truly sure. DotNet 3.5 was needed for Advanced Config.*Note - Selecting dotNet 3.5 in the KITCHEN will cause problems! Dont do it unless you proplery modify config.txt to not load them in the AutoRUN.
Removed IE 6.1 (Breaks My Button Setup!)
Removed JetPrint Bluetooth printing (whatever it is called, not sure)
Fixed My Button Settings not launching from the Settings Tab in Manila
Fixed Voice Command> I added it back in. Go to "Settings -> Voice Command" to turn it on before it will RUN!
Kept HTC YouTube
Kept HTC Network Plug in
Kept Internet Sharing
*All Three of these are from the eRice Kitchen. Big thanks to eRice for all 3!
No other installed programs than those listed and the VZW OEM apps.
The ROM is now pretty close to Stock which was the goal. This should be the last revision unless someone finds a major bug.
AS always, please report bugs and any thing you like as well.

Download ROM and extract to desktopp (Now includes RUU). Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions Flashes just like ANY other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)
A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED for normal usage! This is true of ALL ROM's and even a simple hard reset of the Verizon stock ROM.
Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell if you that if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect.
Link to unlocker is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
Link to ROM and RUU is here: http://www.scottcrosler.com/
Bugs so far:
Wiped Clean on new revision
**Here is where you will see gains with this ROM over stock...
1. Navigating through menu's, especially the settings menu.
2. Smoothness of TF3D (debateable depending on the tabs.) First time will be slow for EVERY device if you leave ALL the tabs enabled. Each tab is a like a sep app that has to load when you select it. After the tabs are loaded you will see even more gains over the stock ROM.
3. File explorer. Go to the Windows folder. No further explanation needed there, trust me. The stock file explorer took nearly 15 seconds to load Windows. This does it almost instantly.
Updated Kitchen Files!
This is for the eRICE KITCHEN. This is not my own Kitchen but an add on of VZW OEM files to the eRice kitchen.
Its the OEM pack that I used to create this ROM. Its what I stripped out of the VZW leaked ROM. I added just a couple OEMs that are not in the cooked ROM. I dont have the original OEM's broken out! IF anyone wants to break it down further like eRice did with his original kitchen let me know and I will host it on my site.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR KITCHEN SET UP:
Download and extract (to desktop) eRice 1.03.07 kitchen from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42796
Delete the entire OEM folder from inside the kitchen!
Download and extract the VZW OEM folder from www.scottcrosler.com and place it in the eRice kitchen as to replace the one you just delted. I made one minor change to the pure VZW OEM folders.I dropped the phonecanvas XML provisioning file into OEM apps. i think it supposed to be in SYS but I dont know.... It works fine the way it is. If you have never heard of the file then ignore this part of the post.
Start RaphealKitchen.CMD and follow instructions.
***Do not select DotNET 3.5 in the kitchen!!!. It is enabled by default, delelect it. Will cause issues.
I will try to support the kitchen as much as possible. Please do not bother eRice with this hybrid kitchen as I am sure he will not support my hybrid creation.
Thank eRice for this kitchen.
Thank the original poster of this thread for the leaked ROM I worked with:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741. Not sure who posted it.
Thank me for putting it together!
I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES. I do however take credit for converting to VZW OEM.
Should there be a link to your ROM here?
Are there instructions on how to flash?
Like putting phone into bootloader mode or anything else necessary?
Does the unlock process wipe the phone or does only the ROM update wipe?
Anyone tried this yet? Any reviews?
It's a lot of work to reinstall everything and to re-apply my special settings, even though I've been documenting what I've done.
Also, I was thinking of trying that Telus radio. Can I still try that on this? Does a radio update/change wipe the device clean or that's non-destructive?

I updated the second post with the steps you need. Sorry was trying not to get flamed on my thread. Someone over at PPCGeeks flamed me for pretty much no reason other than the fact that they could. It only stopped me from releasing my ROM over there. Oh well. There loss. Too bad because there are some really good people over there. The eRice kitchen was perfect in every aspect of a ktichen. I was never so impressed. Impressed enouhg to download the leaked ROM and portover the VZW software ;c) Its a nice change over the stock CE OS. If you flash let me knwo what you think.
Hi Scott,
I've been lurking on both forums since I got my Titan last December. I have learned much from everyone here and over at PPCG: these are the best resources by far for those of us into our phones and the tech behind it.
I agree that you were treated less than "professionally" over at PPCG, and hope that you will continue to work on the VZW TP/XV6850. Thanks for this great use of Eric's kitchen tools and stock ROM, along with your knowledge on how to get them all working for us! My take from the eRice thread is that he has no issue whatsoever with you using his stuff, and in fact he welcomes it for us VZW stepchildren... hehe.
This ROM does indeed kick arse, and hopefully GC and others will figure out the PRI lockdown and we will all have an amazing little machine to play with: it is w/o a doubt a much slicker device than the Titan, and I dug that little unit for the better part of a year
Cheers Pal

You know what Dude, that is all I needed for motivation! You verizon users have some serisou **** instore for you ;c) Thanks for the positive feedback! Im motivated again!
They will figure out the PRI crap. It will take time. I wish skywing would port over his adapter program. I could incormporate that and we would have 100% GPS just like everyone else. He stated in his thread he was not interested in doing so. Thats a huge loss for us that we never even had ;c(
For the record!
For the record:
I have always asked permission before I redistribute any item found here. I asked DCD for his kitchen when I posted my R4R ROM for the Titan's.
I asked eRice specifically if I could port his stuff over for VZW users. His response was:
"if you can get the sprint carrier files split from the rom/kitchen and include the vzw ones, more power to you. that's what this forum is about. sharing ideas and results and improving on them for the benefit of everyone."
Its posted here. Just for the record ;c)

A few people have tried on PPCGeeks with great success as posted above.
Keep it coming. Two things to note. And YES I Just installed this ROM.
First, I had to *228 (not surprised but it is required to get data connections to work. This has been true for every ROM i've played with as well as custom ROM's i've built in the kitchen.)
Second, Comm Manager is missing from the slider menu with TF3D enabled. (Although still accessible via the keyboard shortcut.)
I will play some more and let you know what else I find. Thanks.

The comm manager TAB or the comm manager link in the settings Tab? Its just fine for me. There is no Comm manager TAB in VZW version of TF3D.
I see you use the PPC Kitchen. That does have the Comm Manager Tab and you are used to that. This version is stragiht ripped from the ROM. No changes AT ALL. The stock phone doesnt have COmm manager Tab.
How about responsiveness?
Launching VZ Nav opened Opera and downloaded the CAB. CAB launched got to privacy screen but complained about not being able to save privacy settings. Only option is to lick OK. You are then brough tto the "default" VZ NAV error screen telling you there was a problem with your GPS device. I do have the CAB for VZ NAV now however.
Re-Launching VZ NAV produces the same result. Unable to save privacy and crashes out.
My mistake. You're right. I've gone through so many ROM's that it's a blur. The "Communications" link is still under the "Settings" tab in TF3D as it should be.
So far responsiveness is good. I have not configured the settings for my "regular" business use however.
Perhaps the reason VZ NAV will not install is because it's the official signed version?

No, It always crashes twice at the initial set up, even on the Stock ROM. Its a crappy program I know! Try it a third time and you are good from then on. If not let me know and I will upload the Cab that I have. Nothing special about it though.
EDIT: I relfashed my phone, installed and it worked for me. It still does the three times to load problem. Two GPS errors for me. Then the third time it starts. THis is the EXACT behavior of the stock ROM.
bkurek,
How do you "go through so many roms"? Isn't it an hour or more to reinstall all of your apps and personal settings or is there some easier way that I'm missing?
I can't restore with SPB Backup, right?
Would you say this rom is noticeably faster?

You MAY be able to restore with SPB back up. MAY being the keyword. You can always try it. It wont hurt anything. Worse case scenraio; Hard reset.
I will let bkurek answer the respoinsiveness question. Anything from me woudl be purely biased ;c)

Also did you install to storage card or main memory? I only install to main memory.

That's true. Since it's basically the stock ROM, I might have a shot. I guess the one thing that might be a problem would be your IE6 update.

I go through them because I enjoy doing so and I'm looking for what *I* want. Yes it can be that long but I don't go through all the motions until I've found the right combination/foundation to build on. I did not for instance configure ALL of my email accounts or setup active synch in vista, etc etc
Yes it does feel very snappy but just like anything else you'll find it to be faster today and go back to *****ing about how slow it is tomorrow. It's a matter of perception in the end. You'll always want more. I'm actually more interested in a stable build than a faster one because I already know it'll never be as fast as I want it to be. I have experienced a myriad of stability issues that if I don't find a remedy for I will return this phone. They manifest mostly in the messaging components at this time. I have not had to soft reset a phone this much since 1990-something. Speaking of which, as a completely uninteresting side note, I have not posted to a forum since early 1990-something but the point is that I do like this device and would like to see it improved upon is why I am taking the time to post now. It’s a cool phone. Give it some time. Someone, somewhere will make it faster and more stable. I think.

Interesting. My stock did not have this problem but it came pre-loaded with VZ NAV. Third time is the charm.
Program files and things I don't want to lose always go to main for me.
First of all - sorry for posting it here, i don't mean to be in your face, it's just all discussions about this topic in other threads or posts went nowhere and i also think it didn't get enough attention from the developers. So, i just wanted to start a new thread dedicated to just this feature, since i believe this is one of the most useful features which is somehow got missed in these devices.
I'm talking about the ability to use GP5 to make calls though and answer calls from other devices through bluetooth. I think it's nuts that Samsung didn't implement this feature in these players, since most if not all top range mp3 and media players from this manufacturer in the last 5-6 years have had this feature (my pretty basic 4 year old samsung mp3 player can do this easily). Some people wonder why i care about this, but in my opinion it is a killer feature, which really opens up so many different possibilities to these devices. Tablets with 3g and 4g are reasonably cheap these days, so more and more people buy them. When you have one of them, you naturally think about a possibility of making calls through it. I'm one of such people, i have a 10" 3g tablet and i would like to be able to call through it using my GP5.
I participate in 5-6 different forums dedicated to these devices (mostly european sites) and i see requests and questions from people about this feature almost on daily basis. I think there are hundreds of people out there who would love to have it in their GPs. What i know is that the new GP 3.6 and 4.2 have it and the older ones 4.0 and 5.0 don't. So, i'm begging you, somebody, please make a ROM with this feature! I have no experience in programming for Android, but i think it should be very easy to take code or a library or whatever it is from one device and put it into another, since all these players have pretty much the same hardware (to my knowledge).
Thank you for your attention.
I you can link to a 3.6 or 4.2 rom that I can pull from (can be stock, custom or whatever), I can possibly integrate it into my next release, although I give no promises. Also, as this is development, and this is slightly off topic, I recommend that you change your post tags to [Discussion][4.0, 5.0 US+INTL]Enabling handsfree calling, so that people understand that this is a discussion, not some random person begging for a feature.
Thanks for your reply, i'll have a look for such rom.
Ok, i've changed the tags of this thread. Thanks.
Thanks! I also meant the tags in the thread name, not the actual thread tags. I never use them, so I forgot .
Right, that's what i thought at first, but i see no way to change the name of the thread, unfortunately.

ok, Mars11_ on this forum pointed me here ->source codes for samsung players, plus he also offered to get any files from his unrooted GP 3.6. Would any of this be of any help?

great, thanks for the tip, done.
Thanks for the link! I will try and play around with some of the stuff included and see if I can come up with something. It may be just as simple as installing an apk...
Or maybe swapping bt libs would be all it takes.

oh, sweet, i'm all itching in anticipation! thanks mate!
this means the phone features also needs to be activated because it goes hand in hand im not a dev but im sure its more than installing an apk. i think this will also require some framework changes. also activating the sip calling feature will be very exciting as our SGP can sync contacts as well this can be done in galaxy note by just adb pushing some files to system dir and activating the hands free profile in htc flyer is as simple as editing the build.prop so im sure this is doable but we need to call in the attention of devs :good:
Bad news guys, the uncompiled image didn't help, and I was unable to open the .img that I pulled from a 3.6 rom. Could someone pull their entire /system directory (apply this terminal command: dd if=/dev/block/systemname of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs), and then pull it off their sdcard (internal) and upload it here (tar or zip it if you need to). I do not believe root is required for that, and I am able to access .rfs files to edit them. You can find the name of your system partition by punching in "mount" in the terminal and then finding /system in the output, and recording the partition name that follows (eg. my system partition on my 4.0 is /dev/block/stl9).
I was tinkering with my sgp amd found this if this might be of any help

Ok, I've just sent an email to Mars11_, who's recently offered his help with extracting files from his SGP 3.6 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28558588#post28558588
I asked him to come here and follow your instructions. He's our only hope right now.
Got responce from Mars11_ that's what he said: "Okay, so I've run the commands Hanthesolo had, but I didn't have read access to /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 . So I need root, and second, I can't post in the Android Dev yet, as I don't have 10 or more posts. "
Well, hat pretty much means that I can't pull anything together untilthe 3.6 gets root (I guess I could create a guide for that, but I don't have a 3.6, and I cannot exract anything from it's .img images). Sorry about that, but as soon as a /systm dump is uploaded, I will get on it. A last ditch attempt may be to use adb, but I think that you must have root to get su access from it as well. Perhaps you can boot into stock recovery and adb push the superuser binary and apk, that is, if the stock recovery supports adb, as I believe /system is mounted as rw in recovery. Perhaps a signed update.zip that only has superuser? I dunno, just some theories for 3.6 devs.
Mate, you have absolutely nothing to appologise for, you've done everything you could. I'm grateful for you desire to work on this. I guess we'll just have to be patient and wait for the 3.6 to be rooted Thank you.
Well, thanks for giving me a project to work on, because my sumer has just about fizzled out! I look forward to working on this while I wait for my Nexus 7 to arrive, and with it some more time-consuming hobbies .
