I've just completed the offical update of the Asia-ROM from the offcial htc site (www.htc.com) everything went well and the phone is working, though i havee some issues i want to solve that makes me limited with the phone.
First of all, the main screen of the phone is disabled (im talking about the feature of scrolling left and right with the finger to different catagories such as Photos, Internet, Weather etc) all that is now gone and all i have is an empty screen with a start button at the left-up corner of the screen.
How do I make it go back to the main screen of the device?
Also, I am looking for an hebrew support (Im not talking about a whole interface or anything) I intend to keep the phone on english but just to have a hebrew support (where i can write/read SMS on hebrew) I dont know if downloading this kind of thing is legal, if so, I will be happy for a link, but if not, then just let me know where can i get an hebrew language support.
And last thing, I am looking for some games/appz/themes to download for the phone, if someone here can help me find a site that handles this kind of things
I will be thankfull.
I hope you will take a moment of your time to help, cuz its really important to me to have an hebrew support, at the moment I cant use the phone properly cuz I dont see hebrew (gibrish instead) and I cant actually do the basic things on the phone - which is frustrating, Thanks for your help.
p.s
I hope I wrote this in the right forum, if not then just transfer this thread to the right one, sry in advance.
plz help someone, I dont know what to do anymore

hi guys, I have small question. cuz here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ZL2-QEFoM&feature=player_embedded
we can see, from 4:09 till 4:27 this white, ugly, windows 95-like icons and background with old looking scroll. I dont want to keep this in my xperia, so I searched for some cool themes and found some, but one person from different forum told me that when I change ROM I will loose this:
http://www.gearcrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1.jpg
on the left side. I mean those small windows that give me overview to a lot of features in phone. So I ask you - is it possible to keep this built-in usefull and cool looking feature , and change view of these silly icons and white background to sth more modern?
thanks in advance, I appreaciate all helpful answers
bump, I will be more than insanely happy if sb could help me.
Yes, read the X1 ROM forum, almost all custom ROMs have Panel Manager. Look for a 6.5 ROM.
okay man <getting crazy> thank you so much!!
and is it possible to update WM from 6.1 to 6.5? I noticed that X1 sometimes has 6.1 and sometimes 6.5 (dunno what it depends on) and I know that on 6.5 there is more themes and you know.. just want to know

Officially X1 runs WM 6.1.
X2 will have 6.5.
You can have 6.5 only as custom ROM available at XDA.

1. even if I cant is it possible to have 6.1 and use 6.5 themes?

It's possible to have WinMo 6.5 on your X1.
First, you have to HardSPL your X1.
The link for instructions is here.
Second, you need to find a Custom ROM for your phone. Under the Xperia X1 ROM Development section of the forum, there are threads made by other users that have Custom ROMs they build that run on Windows Mobile 6.5.
When you find a ROM that suits your needs, extract the .nbh file to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card (probably the best way to flash a custom ROM). Make sure the full name is "Kovsimg.nbh". Also. make sure any information you need off the phone is backed up. A good WinMo backup application is PIM Backup.
After you have backed up all files, and copied Kovsimg.nbh to a formatted FAT32 MicroSD card, turn off the phone, and make sure the battery is atleast 50% full. Hold the volume down rocker while pressing power, and until you see a 4-colour screen show up, don't let go.
If the phone detects the .nbh file, the screen will go grey and ask you to either press power to continue, or the select button to cancel.
Click the power button, give it a minute or two, and congrats.
Hi everyone,
my HTC Diamond1, which I've had since release, have now died. When looking for a new phone, the TD2 is currently number one on the list (unfortunately I think the HD2 is too big).
I am a little hesitant to buy a phone which was released almost a year ago. And essentially all the reviews of it is phones with release ROM versions, making it hard to evaluate the current state of the TD2. Now with 2.53 ROM versions officially released, I wonder what the current status of the phone is?
How does the new ROM perform; I love the new Sense version, but does it perform adequately (remember I'm used to TD1 performance...)?
What have changed since the introduction of WM6.5; does battery perform badly now? Better to stick with 6.1?
Are current owners generally happy, or do you think I'm stupid to buy the TD2 instead of perhaps the HD2?
Would be immensely grateful for any input and help to solve my decision agony!
Thanks!
Strong buy
Very happy with my TD2 for almost a year. Used cooked rom of 2.53 and will install official one today. Go and buy it. You will not regret. Keeping in mind expectations differs.
Cheers,
Hi!
I want to know if there is a setting like it was in winmo 6.1, whenever i press right key the menu poped up and i could select to disconnect from data now in 6.5 it only locks my phone. How can i assign right button?
Thanks!

The reg key is under HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila => "RSK path and text" but I have found that manila RSK is not configurable in 6.5 even if you tweak the regisrty.
2.53 rom update australia
Hi everyone,
I noticed that HTC didnt release a 2.53 Sense UI ROM for Australia, Does anyone know if its possible to run something like the UK WWE:2.53 rom on an Australian Touch Diamond 2 without issue? Will it even work?
The other issue is that my serial number wont allow me to download anything from w w w.htc.com/uk anyway.
Thanks.

It's still there (in the official 6.5 Sense ROM just released). Just follow....
Start->Settings->Menu->All Settings->Personal->Buttons->Third tab (Long Press End Key)
ROM update Australia
kobralabs,
You can download the new ROM update with a random UK serial number like "ht968l100040". It is just to make sure that you are downloading the correct file in your language. If you are OK with the English ROM with Manila 2.53, just download and enjoy it. I did the same thing and enjoying the new Manila.
thanks mehmetkoksal,
I might also download the previous version offical htc australia rom, just in case. Do I need to run something like HARDSPL first in order for the UK ROM to work on an australian htc diamond 2? Oh, btw, what region is your phone?
Thanks
Re-ROM Update Australia
kobralabs,
My phone is from Turkey. Therefore with my original serial number I was not able to download any update even the 6.5 for a long time. Therefore I used a UK serial and downloaded the WWE update. But my Vodafone original ROM did not allow me to update the ROM therefore I hardspled the phone with attached program which unchained my ROM from Vodafone and then I was able to update to new ROM.
Thanks for that mehmetkoksal. I have downloaded the WorldWide English ROM and the linked HARDSPL and will try updating my phone tomorrow. Hopefully Manila 2.5 is not to slow.
Just Flashed the New 2.53 Rom - Problem
Hello I have just flashed to HTC's new rom for the topaz with manilla 2.5, I think it is a great rom and a vast improvement over the 2.1 version.
However the programs icon from the top right of the screen has disappeared from this version, so there is no easy way to shut down programs without going into task manager.
Any suggestions or does anyone have the program as a separate cab to install it.
Regards
Colin Williamson
There is a cab in the Leo forums which brings back the taskmanager in the upper right corner, have a look there.
This one should work, but none of them play well with 6.5.3 because of the drop down menu.

Is your TD2 a T5362 UMTS 850/2100 (Telstra)?
Can anyone comment as to whether the HTC stock WWE 2.53 would be compatible w. the UMTS 850/2100 radio? It would be good to be entirely free of the Telstra modifications.

Predictive text display problem in XT9 mode with new ROM 2.53
Hi
Question for anyone running the new 2.53 ROM recently made available by. HTC
Just upgraded to the new 2.53 ROM and with the XT9 function that I use for predictive text using just the phone pad keyboard (which I prefer over the QWERTY keyboard on the small Diamond 2), now as I type letters, what is displayed on the screen is the actual first letter of each key I press, while potential word matches are shown in highlight boxes. Previously what was displayed in the message screen was the actual predicted word as you typed letters and if it wasn't the word I wanted I could then look at the other options - now, I have to select an option for every word I type.
So with the option for word completion turned on in XT9 mode and using the phone pad keyboard which I always prefer to use, if I type the letters to spell 'car', what is displayed are 'aap' and I then need to select 'car' from displayed matches - damn annoying! Anyone else with this problem or is it a new 'feature'??? Or am I just imaging things and this has always been the case and just seems a little different on the new ROM - going crazy!
Only issue may be that I needed to download the ROM from Asia as that is where my phone was purchased to get my serial number recognised so now in the text input settings is an option to use PinYin as the input method (which I have to select) and use the English version on the keyboard so wondering if this is something to do with it?
Thanks for any help you can give
Tim
Yep, highly annoying! Is quite easy to fix though
Fire up a registry editor, navigate to HKLM / Software / Tegic / eT9 and change "ExactInListMode" to 0
Then soft reset.
Also notice you cannot save your added words between resets..

Official ROM update
I would like to update my diamond2 to the last ROM.
The problem is that if I go to http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=912&news_id=596 and put my SN I get Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If I go to http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915 it's working, I just downloaded _HTC Touch Diamond2_RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.4_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe
Is it safe to install this ROM? Will it be in english?
PS. I bought the phone from a guy (used, not new) and I don't know from where it was bought.

If you put your SN into the asian website and it came up with a ROM it should work, but I don't know for sure.
WWE means worldwide English, so it is an English language ROM.
Yes!

Yes, you can install it and yes, it will be in English (WWE = World Wide English) If the site let you download it using your serial number, then it's good to go without any tweaking (ie. HardSPL, etc)
Just got a sony ericsson Xperia X1 and have beeen trying out several different ROMs lately. I've found one that i like, but theres something its missing, look at the following pic:
img571.imageshack.us/img571/1586/wmbar.jpg
What is it called ? How do i get it on phone?
Im currently using a WinMo 6.5 ROM.
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Thats the bottom task bar later releases (6.5.x) have - and I don't know any ROM for the Experia X1 which would upgrade it to 6.5.x
so that means id have to flash a different room in order to have it? i did use a rom that had it... i thought i could just install it.
Hello My Name is Carlos Ayala and require support for several issues in my newly acquired Xperia X1, I have even slightly with this device but more than that and searched can not find how to configure it to record in mp4 because despite having a 3.2 mpx I only recorded by default in 3gp and no option to change it, someone could tell me how do I change it? is by changing some registry key or something?
Another query, can someone tell me what is so far the best WM6.5 ROM for this? As you can see I am a user of Telcel in Mexico, they know when installing a ROM that I remove the 3G network compatibility of the company? eh known as some who have updated after connectivity or configuration problems and no longer connected and I would not risk losing your warranty for nothing.
Could also indicate what are the steps to flash the ROM Xperia since I have played with HTC but not with this so would appreciate me how to do it from scratch because the unit is just out of the company.
Another query, someone could tell me how I can do to make programs that are made to run on my VGA resolution WVGA? because I have problems with 2 SPECIFICATION "Vito Metronome" and "GTuner" both work perfectly in VGA or QVGA devices but ex Xperia in metronome and tuner not even started working but the indicator is not because the image is traversed in screen and cover it.
In advance many thanks and hopefully I can help.
PD. Sorry for the bad English but I am Spanish and translated user all with google.
