Opal coming, maybe.. - Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development

Hy all, I have the canche to get a 2 months 2nd hand Opal for my wife, and would like to know :
- Are any cooked ITA roms avaiable ? Or at least WWE ?
- Is it possible to use something like HD Tweak on the Opal ?
- What are the extents of visual customization on this phone ? (If there are any)
- Is is worth to spend roughly 150 €uro to buy it 2nd hand (2 months used) ?
I have a Blackstone and I'm quite active flashing it, currently using Dutty EXTREME 2.8, but as far as i can see for the Opal there are very few posts in ROM section, so any advice is accepted !

Bump ! Noone ?

This is the latest WWE ROM. First do hard spl, then install.

The best ROM to choose?

Hello!
I have seen that there are pretty many roms to choose from. I would like to ask you which ROM you would recommend installing - from the number of posts I can see that bepe's rom is the most popular, but on the other hand there are also many complaints...
Personally, I do not have time to test all the wonderful ROMs you publish, that is why I would like to limit myself to only one developer (and his roms).
Thank you for help!
Best regards,
Theriel
For me it is the Bepe 0.67 - I have an O2 Orbit 2 Pola200 handset
Very stable and has the latest Radio stack and hard spl
Read my signature!
I'm with Jibreil on this one.
I've tried Bepe and swtos ROM's but ASerg runs faster and better for me than the others.
I would choose ASerg if it wasn't for all the stuff I do not use (Total Commander - I have Resco, PIM backup - I use sprite, don't need CVSD, nor voip, nor Advance Configuration Tool - I do it manually, keyboard - I use PCM, I don't need black bars.... etc).
Except for the fact it contains in majority things I would never use it looks very good .
You would not use Aserg, so which one DO YOU USE?
At the moment? None (i.e. original). I am waiting for bepe's new release (as he said some couple of days ago that it is going to be released soon) but well... if there was something better to choose I wouldn't wait then .

Looking For O2 Orbit ARTE200 Roms with SDHC

Hello
I'm new to the ARTEMIS community and only just realised there are so many ARTEMIS models so im confused about which ROMS i can use
I've been looking for a WM6.1 rom with SDHC support for the Orbit ARTE200
got any suggestions ?
Cheers In Advance
Hi
I am more or less in the same boat. My Orbit 1 already has wm6.0
Is it possible / practical to update to 6.1 with touch flo. Will this make it the same / similar to orbit 2 (though slower).
Is processor / rom / ram capable of supporting this spec?
What rom? Is there a comprehensive tutorial?
Thanks in anticipation
Best ROM by far are the Artemis Touch roms, unfortunately the creator has left the forum, but there is a thread here which still has the links. This gives you touchflo, and the HTC Home plugin, amongst various other tools.
I use an Orbit 1 - downloaded the ZIP with Artemis Touch 4.02 full, and there's two batch files in there, first one for USPL, then the second one for the ROM itself.
Artemis Best Rom
Guys, the best Artemis Touch v4.02 is here:
4.02 Full with Cube
4.02 Full with no cube
4.02 Lite with cube
4.02 Lite with no cube
4.02 Vanilla
I've been using it months already, and everything is perfect.

Artemis Touch 4 Roms
I haven't got around to flashing the ROM as yet
I wanted to ask if this rom supports SDHC type 1 and type 2 cards
I want to go buy a larger size memory card so considering microSDHC cards
8GB or 16GB but before I buy it i wanted to confirm whether Artemis Touch ROMS supports microSDHC
Please could someone confirm, Cheers
How did it go?
Hi,
I have an O2 UK XDA Orbit (wifes old contract phone) and am interested in unlocking so I can go to vodafone for pop3 gprs and I am considering WM6.
I was wondering if you have flashed your phone yet? How did it go and what version?
Also I have to ask what is the with cube/without cube.
hey
welcomes
well first you have to CID UNLOCK your phone before flashing any ROM or you will brick .. for that see HERE
and second choose a ROM you like.
i don't like cube.. for me not a big deal... the latest thing of these stuff is the manila 2D.
now i'm using the YuE line with manila v11.3 which you can see in my signiture.

Some Question About "upgrading"

Well, I got this PDA 3 wks ago.
First thing i did was the upg to wm 6.1 ( from HCT ).
Than hardspl ( all gone OK ) than M-Amine package. After 3/4 days BT wont go, radio FM too.
Well gone bak to WM6.1 ,and WM6.0 does't resolve any problem. Send back to the vendor and changed with a new one.
with this 2nd PDA upgrade to wm6.1 and than hardspl and to M-amine . After 6 day Camera blink into various colours, To have it working I tried to soft reset ( nothing ) hard reset (nothing ), go back to wm6.1 and 6.0. Camera won't go. Send back this 2nd with factory wm6.0 and got a new one ( the 3rd ).
Now with this 3rd device all is still "original" wm6.0, but it interface is very sad.
So my question is.
Am I very unfortune and the device was really defected
or am I a stupid ?
Is there an Upgrade to manilla2d without uprgrading the radio drivers?
when dowloading upgrade file from HTC the file name is "_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_ITA_3.13.408.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe.
what is 25.85.30.07 ?
thanks to all can help me

Wow, you have had some bad luck!
25.85.30.07 is the protocol version.
Official releases from HTC often contain both a new ROM and Radio in the same release, however you can upgrade them independant of each other. Need to be careful when doing this though as some of the newer ROMS require newer radio versions to work correctly. You'll find details of the necessary radio versions in most of the ROM upgrade topics.
I'm currently running this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2950434&postcount=348
With this radio version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430182 without any problems.
The ROM I'm using contains Manila 2d etc. and runs quite nicely, but so do many other current ROMS from epimazzo, M-Amine, c_shekhar and udK.
Make sure you have the latest version of HardSPL installed on your phone before flashing any new ROM/Radio as the unsuccessful radio upgrades in particular can brick your device. Lots of information on this in the wiki.

Topaz TF3D on Blackstone

hey i was wondering if blackstone will get an offical upgrade to the new touchflo3d (diamond2 or touchpro2) frm htc when the 2 phone releases.
Thanks in advance
I don't think it's reasonable to hope such thing. When you look at the Diamond2 specs, it's nearly a cut'n'paste of the Blackstone's. Allowing an official upgrade to install TF3D2 on the HD would kill the Diamond2 — commercially speaking.
But if you want to get it anyway, you should try some cooked ROMs.
Exactly as clandestino_usr said. For HTC to issue this would kill off other devices by HTC. Rather annoying as Apple give out free upgrades to existing uers, why can't HTC follow suit!!!
You best bet is to use cooked roms. Once new phones come out with newer roms etc, its only a matter of time before a cooked version is available on xda developers. Just wait a while!
interested in this as well. have there been any releases that would allow this?
Yep, there are now several new cooked roms using the 1.56 rom as a base. the 1.56 rom are the roms used in the touch pro 2 and diamond 2 (inclusive of the new manilla/touch flow 3d) - My reccomendation: Dutty's V3 Ship!

hey cool. thanks man. i found a link to wwe 1.56 rom download at htcdriver.com -- couldn't find it when i did a search here in xda. thanks a lot for the help. am downloading now. by the way, i was looking at the dutty rom thread and website for a full list of features that the dutty rom contains, or maybe even a comparison of features side by side with the standard htc rom but couldn't find it --- is that posted anywhere?
does duttys do phone keypad with t9?
i read that somewhere and that put me off this rom
i went ahead and downloaded the dutty v3 ship anyway and yes it does have phone keypad with t9
Unfortunately HD does not have the hardware zoom slider. So we can't do any controlled zoom in the album using these cooked ROMs.
So there aren't any CAB installers present for installation of newer versions of TouchFlo?
I was using cooked ROMs for a while with 2.5 on it, but have went back to the Stock version for the sake of battery life. I'm not impressed by the version 1.3 on it, but I can't find any sort of CAB files for newer versions.

So here is what i want to do , i want to update it with the official last Htc released ROM i also like to mention that is a NDL phone , that is where i have it , but I am living in Romania.
So i want to update to the last official Htc Rom , and add the latest Radio , or which is the best . I also like to know if it is something that i could do to make HTC`s messages tab work faster , is very slow , and i use it a lot like 100 messages per day and is annoying to wait sometimes it freeze.
I also like to know if i can create in Start menu folders and how i can put the shortcuts in it if posible.
And last but not least is anyone got a good set of application and game *(free of course) , or you cold just tell me what are you`re favorite application.
And one more thing actually two, i want to enable the 576 ram or how many they are , and can I use Tmodus rom om my htc (Is not a t mobile htc ...)
Thanks and sorry for my bad English...
I know is not nice but i really need help at least with radio my phone loses signal sometimes and I can`t use it until I remove ... the sim card ... and wait like 10 minutes
Firstly you would need to use hspl to be able to have a custom rom which you need to enable the extra RAM my friend take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
so I can`t use an official rom and have the 576 ram ? and one more thing , if my phone is from NDL can I put after the hspl any rom on it from any country ?
the first part no only custom ROM's have 576mb enabled im afraid so you would need to do it that way,
after hspl you wouldn't bother flashing stock roms from other countries mate you would see the brilliant custom roms and get addicted
what about tmodus rom or something like that i saw that the ROM version is somewhere at 2.x beside the 1.x on the official ones, and it also enabled the 576 ram on it .
But i saw somewhere If i change the radio i`ll get 576 so isn`t possible , sorry dude i`m kinda noobis and thanks for you time
the HD2 from the USA is a diff spec to the Euro which you and I have, where as we stock have 448mb ram and 512rom the usa one's are different, but near enough all custom ROM's all work with every phone,
