I just thought I'd take a moment (one previously spent fiddling with my phone) to say well done and thank you to both Tom_Codon and meschle. Which ever flavour of ROM you've decided to put on your device I'm sure you'll agree that it has breathed new life into it.
I for one feel as if I just got a new phone. I haven't soft reset since Friday (which is a shame as I do like my animated splash screens), all my apps are set up, my home screen is just the way I like it....... so what do I do now?
Congratulations guys your efforts are much appreciated and I for one look forward to finding something more constructive to do with my time than hard-resetting my phone (well for a week or two anyway).
Cheers
Matt
I totally agree with you!
It's really amazing what these guys have created.. I don't know what would make my phone better than now. It's nearly perfect, just as I need it as my constant companion.
In this way, thanks mates..
lets be careful though
.....come on guys, I know the likes of Tom and Meschle are fantastic guys - with a lot of skill....but lets not make their heads TOO big....lol
If we big them up too much HTC might hear about them and take them away from us

I think Tom and many other cooks etc are well able to beef up the skills in HTC etc, but would not last long there.
Tom likes to produce new roms every month, but will be told 'that feature you just cooked is fantastic. We can sell that as the the new feature in next years model. We dont release new features unless we can sell them with hardware'

Thanks matt - this is encouraging Lets not forget fracoon - hope you finish your rom soon your beta is very promising
Well, I only know this forum for 2 weeks, but I could say that I am really impressed of the great work done on these ROMs.
I can't imagine the amount of work it is, but for sure the result is amazing
I'd like to put my 2 pennies in as well...
Thanks guys, tom meschle, fracoon and who ever else there is... i've had my xda orbit for a while, had other xda's b4, and work with loads of xda's, but since joining this forum, my xda has hit another level...
the time and effort u guys put in, my hat goes off to u guys... ive bin trying to cook my own rom, but failed miserabley, but i'll keep trying... im sure uguys will help
thanks again guys...
I can see a new MTV show coming soon; Pimp My PPC
Bunch of Cordon Bleu chefs in the kitchen taking some sad old OEM XDA and cooking away until voila! A new pimped-up device handed over to the poor ole charity case that will be able to now proudly be seen once more down the pub with his mates (a position for me I think )
Respect Gents, you make a good product so much better
Thanks to all
I also wish to thank all the people,who make ROMs and which happen to be much better than the original one.
This forum is a knowledge base for those who owns Pocket PCs. At times it is better than the manufacturers' support pages. To those who have created the Cook ROMS, you guys has shown a thing or two of how to make a ROM stable. Keep the good work.
If i can i would give 1000 Stars to the xda forum!!!
Is is the best i personally know and i deeply hope from the bottom of my heart that out friends like tom_condon and coolgadget come back.
There are only a few people kicking at the the forum - and most of us live the right spirit of the forum!!!
I think that it is interesting to buying a htc thanks to this forum because with original roms does not work well. 1000 stars to xda. We have new phones thanks to developers of the forum.
RESPECT
I absolutely agree with macguffin.
I've had tom's bb3.7 and 4.0, and I was totaly amazed! Until I join the xda forum I had my device with slow wm5, but now THANKS TO LOCAL GUYS I have brand new Artemis - I couldn't even imagine anything like this before. Now I have Meschle's ROM(seems better for me). I'm also sad that a lot of "internet newbies"(don't know how to search and ask) comes here but heads up guys...it's everywhere. I think if we stick together we can make this forum better!
Thank to all of you here who spend your nights with pimping our devices. You show me new way of using my phone. I don't wanna call your names because I know there are a lot of members who want to share their knowledge - no matter how they are skilled.
I'm sorry for my english, it probably isn't too good to describe my feelings.
/signed
Thanks to the chefs. Also many thanks to the developers who make the tools, which make these ROM's possible, thanks to Bepe, Pof, A_C, Gullum and NNcuong to mention just a few.
i am using B&B v3 Ger - Rom on my XDA orbit
and its much better than the original wm6. i love it!
hopefully soon the ger version of 4.1 will come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Everyone,
I am a happy user of Imate PDA2K but as we all know it lack the feature of 3G, HSDPA and good camera.
I am looking to upgrade to Hermes (Imate JasJam). But, can someone please confirm the functions and their experience with Hermes. I mean to say can someone tell me how is the camera, sound quality, is there windows 6.1 available for it and similarly more things.
Thank you.
just you just get created?
did you think to type in hermes reviews? or specs? or anything???????????

Hermes is no longer produced by HTC...
The closest you can get is TyTn II [Kaiser]...
Have you even bothered to browse HTC's website?
Cheers.

Dude, you also own Hermes. How is your experience is with it.
If i give you a choice between N95 and Imate JasJam. Which one will you select?
for me it's the best device to load many apps, rom flashes (wm6.1 runs great), media, scalability, travel, UI, etc.
good luck

Most of the time battery life depends on type of ROM you use and how much you use it. Some ***** about it, some live with it. Hermes is a mid level phone, if you want more juice out of your phone then go for kaiser!
Or get a bigger battery... I can sooo see someone lugging around their hermes attached to a car battery one day......

MATE, ARE U Serious???
There is a wealth of information on this phone on the XDA site. Use the search function is a great place to start.
I will however play nice
In my experience the Hermes model is a great phone. Note the amount of development still happening in this forum. Not many other phones of this age still command such attention. It has an abundance of connectivity options. The battery life depends on how much you use it as with any device. The Hermes wiki contains the specs of the beast. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes.

I mean to say if you use daily 3 hours Wi-fi and always connected to the 3G Internet service then how long the estimated the battery live. I tried before Nokia N95 and it's battery only last for 2-6 hours in the above stated operations. I am already using PDA2K and happy that it is best phone ever made. but it lacks 3G, HSDPA, and lots more...

Hello, I already read the Wiki but as i stated sometimes real experience is required then reading the wiki. I upgrade my phone every 12 month. But, i don't want to get stuck in something and then looking after to someone who buy it from me. That's why some research and real experience is better then getting stuck.
Thanks for your response.
hmm
My next phone after learning windows mobile would have to be the htc touch pro. As I still like the keyboard function.
As previous posters are saying do your research. Get parallel imported phone from a reputable online seller on ebay or where ever you are.
Hey guys
Was just wondering if it was possible to find a Touch Flo ROM for a TyTN?
Saw the new Touch last night, think the interface is very interesting, would like to try it out
Thanks alot for any replies!!!

If you had searched you would have found ...... this quite accessible ... the only ROM that comes with one is .... this ...
But I think you need to do a fair bit more reading and searching before you go ahead and flashing stuff if you think touchflo is a ROM
Hehehe, thanks alot Zocster...Believe it or not, i did actually search and ive been reading alot of posts! Im not 1 of those forum idiots who randomly posts messages without reading anything...
However, i am TOTALLY new to this world! I decided to ditch the trusty old cell phone and move to a pocket pc/pda phone whatever you wanna call it I have decided on a TyTN and am now getting into the world of cooked ROMs and all the stuff you guys know all about
Im learning!!!

I seeI have an imate jasjam, so yeah you have a front camera I presume you would want to make video calls too then, so may be that ROM i mentioned not for you as it doesn't have video calling dial pad cooked in.
To be brutally honest, Ive had a Sony Ericsson K800i for a year and a half now and have NEVER used the video calling feature Our networks are rather unstable and its expensive, so why bother Im just looking for a fast, reliable ROM

Let me see then ... you have ten or so ROMs to try out took me two months to go through about 30 from pays, tnt, binky11s, now crc and pdacorner as my favs. You need to know what works for you, make sure you read the wiki, you don't want to kill your new toy ey ...
Welcome by the way .. saw it was your second post oh by the way, go the wallabies, even though i live in new zealand! hehe .. and this is for the trinations!
Much obliged Zocster!!!
Thanks alot for your help...I know that forum noobs are often ignored or flamed lol!!!
The problem i have is being a complete newcomer to this stuff...I honestly dont know where to start, I was hoping there would be a poll with "your favorite ROM" or something, then at least id have somewhere to start

Sorry mate, honestly, ... trying it yourself is the only way you can judge, read the wiki, and try out different roms, as i said what is good for me may not be good for you. So go try them all out and make up your mind from experience. I have had my phone for two months and I have been through honestly about 20 or so roms before i made up my mind, each chefs have got their own style and yeah you need to determine what style suits you.
Thanks alot, will definitely do so
One more question...In my research on the P4350 which uses the 200mhz OMAP cpu, i read that there is an app to overclock (and declock) the device, does the TyTN have a similar app??

If you want to keep your device for another couple of years, then no, it is not recommended. it is doable, but it would not be doing your device any favour.
Well since the reviews i read all said the TyTN is powerful enough, im actually more interested in declocking the device when i dont need the power, to save battery life

hmm, you need to try the roms available, and once you get applications such as BT GPS, BT Stereo, MP3 etc going, plus the touchflo extension you mentioned, it ain't all that powerful.
These chefs have done their best to make the most out of a device that is 2 years old. so ... yeah it isn't that powerful, but yes you will determine that when you have run a couple of things on the hermes have fun, ...
Starbase has the cab on his 4shared site. I have had it before, but find it useless, the touchflo that schaps has is better for finger scrolling and quick landscape mode switches however.
Good to see more South Africans here. (From South Africa myself). As Zocster said, just try the roms out. Been flashing my TyTN at least once a week. Just remember to Hard-SPL first.

Glad someone remembered.....
lol thanks guys!!!
Been reading the guides and the wikis, will definitely hardSPL first
first of all make hardspl ! it is the first thing you need to flash into your tytn....what you meen about -toch flo- ? many component may be instaled on any rom. personaly I use 3ppc.net russian 6.1 rom, whith htc home today plugin (one part of tochflo) included. for finger scroling I use ftochFlo, cube not use at all - personaly I found it useless....(anyway - there are some custom cube on 'hacking and developing' section of developers, as for me it much better than original.)
about overclock. sumsung procesors (which use tytn) is wery bad in frequency control. looks like time generator somehow connected whith main frequency - when you changing it, a lot of bugs appear....for example - if you overclocked cpu, you will notice that music/video/e.t.c. will run more fast that it needed. no need to worry about cpu power consumtion - it low anyway for samsung cpu. much more buttary will eat 3g, wifi, backlight e.t.c.
hey everyone, im just stopping by since im starting to pull towards the TP2 after watching several review videos on it, but anyways im here to ask a couple questions about the touch pro 2.
since the TP2 doesnt have an LED flash, how important is the LED flash to you guys??
also how good of the quality of build does this device have? does it feel really solid and how also the tilt feature, how delicate is that?
the 1500mah battery, how great is the life on that?
and finally(for former TouchPro/Fuze users) is this worth upgrading?
would like to look foward from hearing from all you guys over here.
thnx
oh cmon guys, im looking forward to buying this device but i need some info first
I just switched from a Fuze. The Tilt2 is MUCH better. Stock AT&T ROM is much snappier than the stock Fuze ROM. Signal is SIGNIFICANTLY better. Screen is amazing. And lastly the speakerphone on the Fuze was pretty crappy, but this one is just fantastic.
In my opinion it is well worth the upgrade. You won't be sorry
If you search the forums there are alot of useful threads comparing the 2 devices.
Do you need the keyboard? Because HD2 will have a 1GHz processor...
Also, the RAM is quite few. Only 188MB available, and TF3D eats more than 54% of it...
well im kind of teetering between slimness or the use of a good keyboard, the 1GHZ seems like a promising procesor speed for the leo, the only thing is i hope FCC approves it, but for the mean time the tilt 2 seems like a good device to have for a little awhile, like i mentioned in the first post the lack of LED Flash is holding me back from buying the tilt 2, u guys got any other thoughts on the device?
Hi & Welcome,
For these generic questions, you'd find more help in the "Got Mine" sticky thread. It also helps keep the forum organised .
Thread Closed.
Thanks
Dave
guys...i'm in a dilemma and thought you could help me...
maybe this isn't the right section to do so but...didn't have the idea where else to post this
should i swap my hero for a touch pro 2
i love senseUI and android as it is beautiful,simple and so on,but lacks some software (which is not too important but...still counts)
i checked prices and tp2 is still more expensive (maybe because of the OS)
i have experience with abut 15 htc wm devices but never got hands on tp2...
so based on hardware vs hardware and your experience...what do you suggest
Hi farkub,
If I´m not mistaken you had an Universal right?
Go for Rhodium with no doubt!
Is the best hardware keyboard device to this date and 2010 models won´t be better.
Hero is ok but Android is too young and immature for now, perhaps in the future...
Just my opinion
Cheers and hope to see you on this section soon
nah i had artemis,himalaya,magician,hd,hero,diamond,hermes,herald,kaiser, and several more..but you probably ran into me in general and hermes section
i saw your poll...and thank you for it...
as for the immaturity i thought so too
but half of it went away when i got hands on hero...and the other half still stays (birth dates tell for themselves)...maybe 2.1 firmware is better but too bad i'll not have it when the htc's 2.1 upgrade comes out hehe
thanks for the opinion orb,much appreciated
as i thought i will go for tp2...at least for fun because it's a thrill to change and trade phones and to discover every of them
as we all know...there will never be a perfect one (the technology goes on and it's not quite good for the market to give the perfect one to the crowds)
hardware to hardware...
TP2 wins .. no brainer!!!!!
In all specs, TP2 is better than Hero!
Software???
I had the HTC Diamond
Windows Mobile sucks!!! It just does not have that many good software out there.. and when you find them.. Prices are higher.
I was waiting for the Diamond 2 to come out.. but got tired of waiting so I tried the Hero...
Wow... I dont see me going back to WM!
Hope that helped!

You had a lot of devices, nice!
It´s great to know we will be seeing here!, it´s always nice to see familiar members
More than agree with the last part of your post!
Cheers,
so i swapped them today...let's see how long will this relationship last hehe
as for never coming back to WM....i wish i didn't but my current needs are a bit more pointed towards wm because of some specific software which can help me in my studies...i'm studying mechanical engineering and all that great software really helps out sometimes
i really liked android...and i still do,but this was a clean swap 1 for 1,and this still is a phone with better value...and i'm thinking about selling the tp2 already...it's brand new,no scratch on it....with all goodies...so if anyone wants we can talk...but till then i'm gonna enjoy it while i can
and believe it or not...i'm a windoze hater
but software forces me to use it...both in pc and ppc worlds
(but still i use ubuntu most of the time on my pc hehehe)
thank you dan and orb
TP2 owns every other phone I've had, including the sucky iPh*** 3gs..
Hardware vs hardware, it's the smoothest WM phone I've had, using Valkyrie's rom of course.
Update radio, and mess with the settings a little, and you go yourself a bestfriend.
Imo, I think android's are crappp.
oh yeah which rom do you people suggest
valkyrie seems to be a decent one....probably energy roms are good to but that tone of bluer really irritates me
and for the radio...i put blackstone radio rom to a diamond and the battery life doubled...so is the 1.17.**.** blackstone radio also good for this one or you suggest other maybe
and for messing with stuff...that's what keeps me with WM
i'm a tweak freak
Hi
If you are thinking on sell your TP2 let me know (PM)
As for ROM try Energy phoenix (Sense 2.1) this version:
EnergyROM_28008_RHODIUM_04.Dec.2009_Standard
If you can´t find it let me know and I´ll send it to you
Cheers,
is everything blue? ...hope not...i will pm you...but i have to find a way to get the payment...since accepting payments via paypal doesn't work here in bosnia (or that's at least what one guy told me)....any ideas?

i definitely agree with this. I love android but still to young for me. and the TP2 is an awesome phone, best htc i've ever owned and i always wow people when i pull it out. wouldn't have it any other way!
