Completely Confused. - Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development

Hi People...
I am completely confused... I want upgrade my HTC Viva to wm6.5, but all the forum of Rom have many issues.. i am not able to understand which Rom to install..
can anybody help me out...
Thanks

do like what we do... experiment.

Hi all,
I'm a bit like don_yogesh, confused!
These toys are not so easy to update... when u don't know how ^^.
A fair bit of reading will be necessary !
Cheers.

these roms id say are not worth experimenting...for windows mobile 6.5 there are no need of certain applications like htc notifications and htc volume changer<tht doesnt work> i simply dont know why in roms they are there....if they made a rom clean of those ill be more than glad to experiment

It's been long i have not posted in XDA, i have just purchase the New VIVA and i am quiet interested to know, which cooked rom is serving well to VIVA users ?

You can try PDAVIET wm 6.5 rom v25 (just go through the december's 2009 post) I find this one is functioning well in my viva t2223. Just some minor bug, audio manager doesn't work and it drains battery.
Or you can wait and wait and be left out of experimenting...which is the joy to all these moddings...
Moreover, this is not paid site which host only fully finished/bugless softwares, HELP by trying out the roms...mods and report bugs and in return you learn more and more.
Also, post any good softwares/games/themes which you have come across in the appropriate sections. Sharing is the keyword here.
Sorry if I offended you. be cool.
My greets to the mods and senior members.

You have the HTC Elfin and there is no official WM 6.1 update available for your device and probably wont ever be one. On the HTC Website it shows the WM 6.1 update but probably says not available for your device when you try to install it. This is because the linked it to Elf by accident and fixed the problem in order to avoid people downloading to elf or elfin and bricking their devices. The WM 6.1 official ROM update is for the HTC touch Vogue. You can search this site; however, for custom cooked ROM's for the Elfin that has WM 6.1. Make sure you do plenty of reading and studying on how to flash a custom cooked ROM to your device and you will have to make sure that your device is unlocked. I am sorry I cannot help you more than this since I don't know much about flashing custom ROM's since I myself have not done it yet to my Elfin. There is lots of information available on this site though and several ROM's available for the Elfin.
Start by reading through the WIKI here to begin learning

Good luck

Do you have the HTC OPAL otherwise known as the VIVA
You said "Stops the viva"? If you have the VIVA and not the Elfin stop flashing roms for Elfin to your device.
OPAL / VIVA look similar to Vogue and Elf and Elfin but is a different device
See links here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Opal
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=442
If you have the Opal/Viva - you need to post in that forum to try to get some help. You may have done a very bad thing flashing an elf or elfin ROM to the device if you do in fact have the VIVA.
You really need to do lots of reading. Make sure you know which device you do have, then proceed.
VIVA though is suppose to already have WM 6.1 so I am hoping I am wrong in this assumption for your sake.

I think he means he 's frustrated the viva was launched after he bought his elfin. There should be a dot after "stops" . Beside that your advice was very sound

Why are you giving this warning? I haven't upgraded to a custom ROM myself yet; however, have read that there are many members who are very happy with their custom ROM's and WM 6.1
Do you have a valid reason for this warning or is it just your personal choice / preference.
From what I have been reading, choosing to upgrade ROM is personal choice and one that you choose to do at your own risk and or benefits all depending on what your needs are. The reason I have not upgraded is that I have not yet felt that I needed to. I am very happy with my stock WM 6.0 ROM and the performance of my device. This is the only reason I havn't upgraded.
What are your reasons? It is not my intention to discredit you or attack you. I am legitimately curious as to what your reasons for this statement are.

Qtek 9090 help!

Ey people,
I really like this forum and i just joined
I have 2 questions and i hope you guys can answer it .
1: What is the best(newest) windows version for my qtek 9090?
2: I just installed helmi's windows mobile version 6.1 pro.
what can i do with: Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab?
Thanks, and bye!!
Hi qtek9090f,
Welcome to the forum! If you haven't done so already, please take a look at the forum rules.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488533
Now, to your questions...
The best and latest rom so far... well, there are two roms that could be considered the greatest and latest...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482997 (look in xplodes' signature for the rom)
and this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488925
You can go either way since both are fantastic roms... Now, as far as Helmi's cab, if I am not mistaken that is HTC's home plugin from WM5 that came out a while ago. You do not need to install it (unless you want to of course). There are far better UIs out there (at least in my opinion)...
Hope this helps and once again, welcome

Lets COOK some ...... ANDROID !

With kind regards and thanks to a member of this forum, stuliv12, who provided us with a link to a HTC Click ROM, im asking all the chefs of this forum to be so kind and port Android on Jade. Only you have the skills needed to do so.
I believe that many of us here would want to make their Jade even better, by running Android on it
I have uploaded the ROM to Megaupload, so that you dont have to go to the original site and register.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FSD6CJ8N
Looking forward to seeing and testing Android on Jade.
Thank You in advance.

It's really good news. Let's improve this sparkle and make a big fire.
I want to use Android on my Jade so much.
I'm willing to support to develepors at least as a tester.
I appreciate the efforts of arseny1991 to encourage the Jade users about Android.
I hope we'll hear some good news soon.
Greetings,
I also would love to help with this project.
Please cooks, tell me how i could help... I have some IT knowledge, but really didnt had the time yet to learn how to cook...
Regards,

i believe that we need to test Android with Haret first, because its more safe (we wont brick our Jade).
To do so, we should get the kernel out of the Tattoo ROM. Any idea how we can do that ? How to decompile the ROM provided earlier in this thread ?
I did have a go at opening up the attached file (the .exe above)
I used uniextract to extract the .exe and then that revealed a whole load of files, but the bulk of the space was taken by a cab file (90 odd mb). I tried to open the cab but can't succeed - I can see the content is made up of 2 files and 1 of the files is a .img file so this is the kernel.
All have a go and see if you can get to this file.
Louis
thats the same with me, i can see the two files and the .img, but i cant seem to extract it, if i could, i have the hariet for my elf, and can just swap the img files etc to see how it starts.
The main issues i would have thought would be how the keys are mapped, as the Tattoo has the home and back buttons, i assume we could re-map these to up and down respectivly?
any thoughts?
Lets not get ahead of ourselves worrying about the mapping of buttons - the first major hurdle is getting all the necessary files, and then the second major hurdle is booting - Once we have achieved those 2 goals we can worry about button mapping.
Anybody got any ideas about how to extract those files? Anybody extract files from a HTC rom .exe before as they could be packed in a similar fashion.
Louis
look what i stumbled upon.....

What are your impressions about android compared with WM ?

1. the scrolling is very smooth on the tattoo much faster than my jade
2.the music sound 100 times better than the jade(tattoo has a 3.5jack)
3. putting aps on the android is a bit if a pain ie u just cant download a cab and just click it on ur phone these are .apk files and to install the same u need to use the sync and a tool called the aps installer on the same to install an application this u can do only through the comp a little bit of a a pain
and their is some thing called the rooting on the android something like our HSPL i still havent got it its not as easy as the HSPL we do
u need to create a gold card all that stuff which is still quite confusing
but i am enjoying the feel of the tattoo its great experience
and u dont have anything like our pim backup for the android so every time u flash a new rom u need to sync with ur comp or google account
this is also quite a pain for me
but u realy cant compare a WM to ADM
from my experience both are diffrent and thank god i kept my jade and did not dispose it so i got two toys to pay with
Note : the india version of the tattoo is not 3G
Thanks Haree for the reply. I think that Android is very promising OS but we are in the beginning and like anything it needs time to be well developed , also programs for it. In this point of view WM is years in front.

Help Me Creating ROM for Magician....

Hey guys i have bought my new Touch Pro 2 mobile.. and so i am going to use my I-mate jam for making new ROM's for jam.. Request to all Magician ppl to help me to build rom what you want... you can tell me
1. Do you want a clean rom..
2. Rom with TouchFLO 2d..
3. Anyother..
will be waiting for your replys..
cant make the decision alone.. so thought of making a post..
Q: Do you know how to build magician ROMs?
If yes, please tell me how. (I was making few roms for friends kovsky, so i know what and how, but i have not found any way how to build for my magician)
A clean to the bone 6.5.3 ROM would be nice...
Or even Android!
P.S. I`m in for testing!
Android + 1, or 6.5.x with manila 2
I think andriod is to slow for the magician, and it would be to hard to make it for one person.
Windows mobile 6.5.5 is really nice. But I heard it is hard to unpack the magician roms. There is not any kitchen released. Only cotulla has succeeded making an magician rom so far..
Yes, but he is selfish and doesn't want to share his work with us. Lazy too. I respect his work but nothing new is posted since 2009... Like he is left this magician project...
Android sounds interesting.
I'd even like to help in any way possible, posted a message in the general > questions just today.
I'm doing a study informatica > software engineer, and for a schoolproject we have to write an android application ... don't have €500,- for some fancy HTC phone with android on it, so if we could kick my phone back to life (even if it is slow) it would be awesome.
Saying that, also like to add that i have enough sparetime to help you out with some testing, reading, writing/coding I'm not really experience with mobile phone OS ROMS so it is a good challenge and probly a nice sparetime project
I would that its a rom like htc touch 2,
The start button at the bottom
I fear also that Cotulla no longer is working on the Magician ROMs.
I hope I'm wrong...
A new ROM should be fingerfriendly and stable with all Radio-Software-Versions.
I love my Magician ! A solid Case , you became all Repair Parts for low Price and you can change them self . I would be happy , if someone could make a kitchen, with a chance to change the language . Good luck !
Mod. edit: as of now not dev related, moved to general
?
hey
i want to ask when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know
?
Does anywhone now when the rom is finished ?
Please let me know
A WM6.5.X, Android or WP7 is great.
info needed...
hello
does someone have any info on how to build rom
i managed to decrypt, extract, modify (oem and xip) and now i need some help to build rom back so that i can encrypt it and use RUU to flash...
any info is welcome

are you kidding me? what do YOU CAN MODIFY?
Tell me that you are not modifying Cotulla's roms, that is not cool dude.
Respect his work and wishes, either create your own rom or get permission from the big man himself before doing it.
DO NOT WORRY i DO NOT use Cotulla's rom!!!! i do respect his great work... at the moment im working on WM2003SE but i guess that same or similar procedure is used on WM6.1/WM6.5.... so i juct need to figure out way to build new rom form files that i have extracted...
any info is appreciated....
i havent found any kitchen for Magician, and kitchen for Himalaya or BlueAngel does not work on Magician... so sad...
ok that is great news, now I am sure there are guides for rom compiling available around here. I will have a look soon and report back
I cooked my own ROM based on Cotulla O5. but Cotulla doesn't allow it for the publication.
if you want you can publish your rom on www.techz.in

...Hi.... simply if you wanna something know, you have to before something read...
Ok, hepl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 and please, read carefuly...before you do anyting else...
If you have already decided, which way you will go (..It means, how do you wanna flash after your device)...you just chceck after some ROMs in this forum and it's up to you, which one you will try(flash)...
I hope I helped.
As ali1777up was trying to say above, follow this step-by-step guide to flash a new rom. As for which rom to choose, I cannot help you there as the choice is rather large and everyone has their own personal tastes as to what they prefer. Personally I would start with the most used roms, i.e. the threads with the most posts in them and go from there.
Good luck
p.s. I have closed this thread as this question has been asked many times before so I suggest you search
