G4 Ifone style ROM? - G4

Not for me but my son, bless him, is an Iphone fan and has managed to lose it and is devastated (teenagers ). Until it's replaced I have a spare M600 lying about and I guessed I could try and meet him part of the way by loading an Iphone styled ROM onto it. Does one exist for the G4 and where would I go about getting it. Tried the search utility and a fair bit of reading but was unsuccessful. Thanks in advance.

Yes, its an application that make your phone look like an iPhone. I must search it in my PC firist and I will be back with a post.

hey, found your thread and I´m interested too in that iphone style rom.
have you found it on your local pc ?
can´t see your response but hope you have it
regards

Hi, try vito's Winterface. It looks like Iphone, and works perfectly on Prophet devices. It also have many skins to change icon apperance.

Searching for special GSM-software

Hi there!
My english isn't very good, sorry...
I'm searching for a special software that can do the following tings:
-Transfere operator logos (i mean the old black and white logos and colored background images for new phonetypes) from pocketpc-device to a mobile phone (spcially for Nokia-phones).
-Transfere ringtones (monophone and polyphone) as above
-Changing starting images and such things...
Is there something in existing that can do that?
Perhaps a little freeware-program or commercial for a few euros.
Thank you...
No idea?
Hi there...
so- no one with an idea?
What a pity...
Well, so i've to search it on my on...
hey dont give up so fast! you only waited an hour!? lol
im not sure what you are lookin for, but they have WAP/MMS for PPC
fro ezos.com ver 2.5
its said to be able to send ringtones and pictures just like the nokia
not sure if it will transfer tho.
look into it.
good luck
yeah only an hour
hhmmm plus, minus 6 days
Hi!
Oh-hey!
Something happened in this thread!
@ntabikha (well, Rudegar is right with the time...)
I just visited ezos.com, but didn't find a download-posibility for that program (mobikit????). In the description isn't support for sending logos via infrared to phones mentioned (as far as i have seen). I don't think thats what i'm looking for.
But anyway thank you.
Perhaps some other ideas?
Thank you!
Hi!
So, there is nothing that fits the mentioned criteria?
I know, there's monkeymail (and other programs from same guys) for PalmOS that can do it!
Nothing similar to this for PocketPC...?
Sometimes i think it was a bad idea giving the palm away to buy a pocketpc... there was much more cool freeware and also many commercial software...
thats realy poor...

Orange SPV 3100 unlocking plus WM6 upgrade?

Hi people,
as you can see I'm new to the forum so excuse my lack of knowledge.
I did browse through a little when I had my XDA Exec (HTC Universal) but never posted. I've now bought an Orange SPV M3100 from ebay, and I'd like to unlock the sim lock plus upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 so thought I'd join and learn how to mod my new phone/PDA in time for it's arrival next week so I can use my Three UK sim.
I've had a little look at some threads regarding the unlocking linked from another forum, but the threads I read didn't really mean much to me as I'm unsure of the terminology used in regards to software modding. I'm also unsure of what software I need to communicate with my new phone when I update/unlock it.
Any help would be great! In simple terms if anyone can point me in the right direction to unlock and install Windows Mobile 6 then I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Please look here first: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes the wiki should answer all your questions!
Please Read it thoroughly most people just browse through then come back asking questions when all the answer is there!!!
Brilliant thanks for the link, will have a good read.
OK after browsing forum pages and trying to take in some info to accomplish my goal I just need to double check incase I wreck my phone...
Basicaly all I need to do is unlock my Orange SPV M3100, and would like to install WM6... Are these steps correct?
* I understand that I need to install ACTIVESYNC v4.5, which I've done.
* Then to unlock my mobile I need to download Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a which I've done. Connect my phone, and make sure the green activesync icon appears in the bottom right hand corner of my computer screen. I then run the 'Auto_unlock_v3a.bat' and follow the instructions.
* To flash a rom I need to install Hard SPL v7 which I've downloaded. I assume I run 'RUUWrapper.exe' while my phone is connected via activesync?
* I downloaded the Offical HTC Windows Mobile 6 (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108) from the link on this forum. To install I guess I just run the .exe file?
If I'm completely wrong then sorry, I'm not trying to be a pain I'm just trying to get my head around the whole process. Also could somebody tell me what a 'radio' is?c Thanks.
there should be a read me .txt file in the sim and cid unlocker.... try reading that if you haent allready
I did have a look last night at one of the 'instruction' text files I think on the SIM CID unlocker, that part of my whole process seems the easiest.
I just want to make sure installing the WM6 update is one correctly for obvious reasons.
Is there an advantage to using a 'cooked' version of WM6 over an official HTC WM6 rom? As it seems many have these custom roms, when I assumed the official would be more stable?
Got this all done in the end, seemed rather easy after I thought it would be some kind of nigtrmare.
I now have an Orange SPV M3100 unlocked, running radio 1.47 and operating on the Dopod official WM6 rom.
All seems well so far!
When I get bored I may have to try some of the cooked roms.
PS... Anyone know where to get some nice themes? I saw a green one somewhere on here (official HTC?).
lol i was in the same boat as you (if you remember) its easy when youve done it you think well wats all the fuss really about....lol
i running a Schaps os really nice esspecially with the sleek touchflo in built
got bored of running offical wm6 rubbish lol
I lasted 1 day with the official Dopod rom, I'm now running the schaps 4.30! Very pleased with it, million times better than the standard official WM6 I had 1st.
...and yeah it's easy peasy flashing new roms, I think it's the terminology that was making me scratch my head with roms, radios etc I didn't know what anything was at first.
Happy now though, just need to find a new case to make my Hermes nice and fresh looking - I hate scratched phones!
dont use the *Suger Cube Method*
same i hate scratched phones...
i tryed the using a suger cube on the orange logo as it says on website this will get rid of the orange logo with out leaving a scratch... It scrached my case like there was no tommoro
so if u find a shop or summet selling them please give me a link lol
thanks

I've seen a couple on ebay for around 30 quid with the HTC logo instead of the horrible Orange branded ones.
If you search for htc hermes housing in titles and descriptions you should see a few on there, some are around 50quid though! Plus most are from Hong Kong so you'd have to wait a week or so to receive the housing.
If you need a guide to housing removal I will post a link on here for you?

Thanks i will consider it i really do hate the scratches on my case makes it look second hand when it is brand new
It does look hard to do and easy to go wrong...
Has anyone tryed a ipod scratch remover as it is the same silver metal as the ipod metal u find on the back
Thanks alot for the great responce!
I've taken apart a couple of phones before (Nokia 3650 and did an Ericsson w800i case swap on an Ericsson K750i) and taken apart my old laptop which I managed to fix and this doesn't look too hard to just do a housing replacement.
I ordered a plain black housing today (no company logos) which I will fit next week (coming from Hong Kong). Cost me £33 in the end I think, hopefully it fits OK.
My LCD is ok bar one VERY annoying scratch! Think I will leave that alone though until it gets worse, then I may flog the phone as is at the end of the year, or maybe just replace the screen if I feel I wanna keep it. I pretty good at keeping things looking nice though so hopefully the screen won't deteriorate too much.
I'll post a pic of before and after when I've done it and point out any difficulties I had, should be OK though!
Looking forward to having a nice new looking Hermes without the Orange branding!
Just to say, I managed to change my housing only took me about 30 minutes was pretty simple. All I needed was a T6 Torx screw driver, a very small phillips (cross head) screwdriver, and a credit card shaped card to lift away the housing after you've taken the screws out of each bit.
Haven't taken a picture yet but happy with it! Will post one soon!

Simple guy needs simple solution

Ok, here it is. I have a tytn (herm200) rogers provider in Canada. This part is tough to say, I'm getting old and I can't see the stupid time anymore so I would like to upgrade this thing to wm6 so I can have the larger display (ok so thats a pathetic reason) Can someone tell me what is the safest, simplest, most stable way to get that. Everything else is fine. I use for text email notes etc. I'm on the road a lot. If you make it simple, I'm glad to make a contribution. Thanks in advance and have mercy on an old man.
Eric
Maybe you could just add the htc home cab (do a search) this way you can have a GIANT clock. If you really want to upgrade to WM6 its pretty easy. Check out the WIKI and Load Hard SPL before you try to upgrade. I was a little nervous my first time but once you put hard spl on your phone changing ROMS is easy and addicting.
Thanks, I spent today reading (with glasses) and it is kind of intimidating but HTC and Rogers are no help and there seem to be so many choices in terms of roms and the danger of an expensive brick looming over my shoulder
what exactly do you mean by larger display? maybe you can just change the size of text and install the htc large start menu and large title bar. dont know if they both work in wm5 though
something like the standard wm6 screen would be great

If you want to flash you should do as indicated, and start by reading through the Wiki. Then go and read through the MrVanx guide for HardSPL. Don't flash without loading it first! Here's where you can download HardSPL. After that you just need to find yourself a good ROM. I'm currently running this one on my Hermes and so far I like really it.
But if you don't want to go to the trouble of flashing, but just want a bigger "clock" on your Today screen, then I'd recommend looking into the Pocket Digital Clock Today plugin from ProjectION. It will give you a big digital clock on your Today screen. I've attached a capture of my screen for your reference. Good luck with your flashing!
Thanks for the advice. Got brave last night (the tequila helped) and put in the hard SPL then tried Schapp 4.22. I like it but I dont have enough memory I guess, its kind of slow. Trying to find a light version now

Schaps makes excellent ROM's. But if you're going Schaps I'd recommend his latest 4.30 ROM, rather than 4.22. Or if you want to go up to Windows Mobile 6.1 then try the Faria / Dr Puttingham ROM I linked in the previous post. It's actually a little faster, and it's a Big Storage ROM so you'll get a little more breathing room for installing applications.

[Q] Is it posible to have another OS?

its possible to install another OS on my x10 mini like S60 5^ or 3^

Why would you want to do such an awful thing? our x10s have feelings, you know? don't take android away from them!
I can't understand why you buyed this phone if you didn't like its OS...........Don't talk silly........if you don't like it pls simply switch to another phone!!!!
I think out if curiosity i'd love to see this question answered... although i can't imagin abandoning the A-OS for anything currently available
P.s. this is only my "OPINION" but currently;
Technically; possible, our hardware meets the basic specs.
Physically; highly improbable due to a currently unhackable bootloader
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Just corious beacuse S60 was easier and i love sony ericsson thats why i got this one
its cute but i feel its to hard to do some stuff.
*SPOILERS*
Hi i had an sony ericsson w600 when was younger; 14 or 15 though
i love it especially the VideoDJ app then i got a nokia 5800 when i was 17
i loved that phone was awesome and so cuztumizable was currently running C6 Firmware on it but the maid stole it i know the other one told me she has
NVM.
my dad was asking me if i wanted a new cellphone i told no dad idk really liked my nokia there was much stuff on it like: Feelings, Adventures, goodf time. and software related stuff also.
then i lost the hope of finding it and blocked it with a remote code
And i looked at a little pretty cellphone on a shelf and it remind me my old W600
i though oh that one would be nie so i got it.
*END*
dont missunderstand me i like my cellphone but is just that i miss stuff that i was able to do on my 5800 as well as video and photo edition tools that were present on w600
You Could... providing someone develops a working HAL so the software could communicate with the hardware!
Unfortunately, this doesn't exist and it is such a big job that manufacturers won't do it as they only seem to focus on one OS per device at a time (And then neglect to update it - No 2.2 for me)
So basically, whilst is is possible it is very improbable (Notice that I never said never!) LOL
Dude, have you ever launched the android market? Do you know how many photo and video apps you can find there?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Bro I did but those app are too buggy also internet is very slow I think bcause I cant get 3G (same data plan on other phone works fine)
Also I cant pause video recording wich is usefull 4 square by square animation.
And sorry I cant just dish my phone and buy a ndw one congratulations for those who can.
Can somebody point me to specific apps or rom
That could fill my needs
And deano thanks for the ROMS are wonderfull but im still being a newb
I think you didn't check out the right apps. I'm sure you'll find the right applications for you in there : there are close to 300000 applications in the market. For editing pictures, you have Photoshop express and hundreds more, for videos you have a whole bunch. If you can't get your 3G working, you should check with someone from your mobile company to configure your phone right : 3G works fine with the mini.
Finally, if you don't like this phone, you can sell it on eBay at a good price. Also, sorry to tell you this, but nowadays you'll find this same OS (Android) on most SE phones, Motorolla, LG, HTC, Samsung, etc... So you better get used to using it, unless you want to buy yourself an iPhone or a BlackBerry.
or just stick with Nokia.. good old Symbian (the reason I switched to SE from Nokia was because I wanted Android and Nokia refuses to see the light)
Why anyone would choose Symbian over Android is beyond my understanding.. but each to his own I guess.
Naaah im loving it nao but i need some guidance with root explorer
i mean if i rename an app as bak it will work on background but not all of them so waht can i do for hidng apps and they will fully function

Just got a lumia 800

Right, never owned a windows mobile in my life, Im an android person, but Ive just bought a nokia lumia 800. The phone is a few months old but its in decent condition for its age. What can i do with this phone OR do to it (without screwing it up). I know the lumia 710 can be jailbroken (hate that terminology, jailbreaking is for ios devices). can the same be acheived with the lumia 800?? I guess i should do a search. Easy to do or a ball ache? Im still going to stick with my htc sensation but its handy to know this stuff and where better place to find the experts than on xda forums :highfive:
Any help and advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Edit.................Ive just found what Im looking for thanks
Please can a mod lock or delete this post. Thanks
you sure are a Droid boy. "Windows Mobile" lol

hi nice to see another lumia fan well it goes somthing like this
if your lumia has a qualcomm bootloader your free to install the custom rom in the dev thread on here but as i have found your phone might be on 7.35.0.0 and come up as qualcomm device but if you dont have access to the nand (in windows it would come up as a flash disc) then your pretty much stuck with stock roms and stock apps untill the dload bootloader is cracked. have a read in the dev forum there quite bit of info to get you started

Yes, no better mobile phone operating system in my book. I couldnt turn down the chance of the lumia because it was cheap. And a change is as good as a rest so the saying goes

Tip for when you need the phone to last longer (like weekend visits etc.)
Sync and mobile data is a huge battey drain. Disable mobile data and it the phone will last for days.
My advice is go slow..
With Android, most of the stock google applications like gmail were garbage so you had to go to the marketplace to find better versions.
Also, you have to root Android phones to get rid of crapware installed by carriers.
With WP7 and the Lumia..
Like iPhone, all the stock applications are excellent quality. The Mail program for instance is second to none; I don't even have any supplemental programs to it..
Also, while the Lumia will come with carrier crapware, you have probably already found out you can simply longpress and delete these with out jailbreaking or rooting. I understand this was a rule Microsoft imposed on all carrier programs to create another selling point for WP7..
So the only reason you would need to unlock would be to install homebrew applications, custom roms, or simply dicker around with the phone. All of which are fun to do but unnecessary.
In short, I found with Android (I had a Samsung Vibrant), you HAVE to unlock and Root just to have a good quality system. With WP7, you don't - the phone is good out of the gate and you only need to Root & jailbreak to do some higher level experimenting.
Good luck - hope you enjoy the phone!
What should I do?

Hello,
I have some carrier crapware into my Lumia 800 - it doesn`t let me to use another SIM card but the provider`s (it`s locked on Bouygues Telecom - France) And I was wondering if a NOOB`s guide to interop unlock my phone exists. Thanks.
Android convert
My first visit to the lumia 800 forums and I am in the same boat as the op.
I've been an android fanboy for several years (htc desire, samsung galaxy s, htc sensation, htc one x, acer iconica a500) and have found myself obsessed to the point of addiction. Yesterday, I bit the bullitt, put my one x on e-bay and ordered a network un-locked lumia 800 to be delivered today.
I would like advice on how to unlock the full potential of my device and will be reading this forum very carefully before I do anything risky but, before I start, could somebody possibly advise as to wether there is anything that is important to address before and during my initial set-up?
Hopefully I will not become too obsessed with my new venture and any informed advice would be much appreciated to a windows phone noob
ps Had a windows mobile 6.5 device a few years ago
Ive left the Lumia 800 as it is. I wanted to jailbreak it as I wanted to install a specific gps app, which I have on my androids but do you know what?? Nokia Drive is really really very good imo. Im happy with it as it is. The interface took me some getting used to though but thats just me. I will probably end up jailbreaking it in the end as this is what Im like, but for now, its ace

First few hours on the device and loving it. Couldn't sync google contacts which was really bothering me but did an update whilst searching for a solution and the update had solved the problem!
Would love to 'jailbreak' it (like to mess) but, rightly or wrongly, I am getting the impression that it's not possible on this. Any ideas how to do this? Is it like root access.
It's all very different to android but makes a great change so I think I'll be staying with this little beauty for some time.
