HTC Touch Pro Users?

[Russian]

Are there any HTC Touch Pro users out there? :D

If so, which ROM are you running? im Running SSK's 1.5 for now ;)

[skinnee]

I am!

CE OS 5.2.19965, not sure if thats the ROM you were asking about...just got the thing a week ago.

[Warboy]

I'm using the Sprint HTC Touch Pro. With Default ROM. I haven't picked a good ROM yet.

[BrokeDown]

I'm using the HTC Fuze. Not sure the ROM. I know there are some better ones. The phone definitely needs some fixes.

[gr8golf]

I am using MightyMike's ROM - v4.9.5. He has now created 2 ROMS - one of which is full featured and the other one which is a Lite version.

[skinnee]

a little explanation for the noob (me) would be greatly appreciated. :up:

[Russian]

a little explanation for the noob (me) would be greatly appreciated. :up:

Sure, a ROM is simply a modified version or stock version of the CE Operating system that most windows mobile phones run off of. What people do, is that they tweak them to either fix issues, or to add programs or to change the way it looks in order to satisfy your desires. Most Custom ROMs are faster and look better and have more features and programs pre-installed and also remove some of the junk that you may not want or need like the stock carrier's software if you dont want that. Some keep it, others dont. And thats why there are so many different ROMs. ;)

[skinnee]

thanks! :up:

I've been using Scrosler's CE OS 21015 - B2B rom. I just flashed it today. I like it.

[hixie]

Good i looked at this thread ... maybe i can finally read SMS on my diamond. The system has so many bugs

[benko]

how do you mean you cantbread sms,i have diamond and i can see all my mail and sms with no problems.

[ACE76]

I had the Touch Pro for about 2 weeks after which I sold it. I hated the phone and it was very buggy. I then got the Sony Xperia X1 which I use now along with the iphone 3g...the cool thing is, that you can download the HTC Touch Flow 3d interface and run it as one of the panels on the X1...the funny thing is, I got more usage out of the HTC interface on my X1 then on HTC's Touch Pro..lol.

My one suggestion to any HTC users would be to use the custom ROMs out there rather than the official ones...they are much much better and more stable IMO. XDA is a good resource.

Did you have the verizon or the att or the sprint?

[benko]

yeah costum roms are faster,especially lite versions,vut sometimes costum roms are bugy and with officiall i havent had any bug(ok it was long time ago).

how xperia have sold stylus?
on htc diamond/pro they have done excellent job(magnetic stylus).

[reasons]

I have it with Sprint, it's a pretty solid phone. Did a few reg tweaks and a custom rom so that it runs smooth. Now I'm just waiting for the android port to get useable.

but i would really love to

[Reznik Akime]

Got myself the Fuze last week and am already running EnergyRom 1.5, along with the 1.11.25.01 radio stack and the correlating DLL file. Very quick and VERY fun to tinker with after updating to these. GPS locks in a matter of 10-15 seconds from a cold boot and I can get better signal now where I live, no to mention that I'm no longer hopping between Edge and GSM.

This is my kind of toy, man. I can't put the thing down.

Yup, i love my pro and the limitless possibilities it affords especially with custom Roms and radios. Not to mention the lovely aspect of this phone that it can practically do anything a laptop can, and more. :D

[Circaflex]

i have mine down to 3 different roms, KK's rom, MightRom, and Juicy, dont know which i like.

[Marvin_The_Martian]

wmBlack FTW! http://wmblack.info/

ow wait, I got a piece of antique instead of a phone

[gr8golf]

i have mine down to 3 different roms, KK's rom, MightRom, and Juicy, dont know which i like.

I've only tried a few ROM's - Juggalo's and a few versions of MightyRom. I'm open to something new, I mainly want the thing to run faster than stock. The bells and whistles don't mean much to me. How fast is Juicy's? How fast is wmBlack and why do you like it?

[Marvin_The_Martian]

wmBlack is more for older models, touch pro isn't listed on the compatibility tab just checked I thought it was but nope. I posted the small print because I have a really old model phone, tytn, and if you want to know why I like I got four words, standard htc sucks donkey balls. Today screen is not usable, taskman is not existing, comm manager is missed dearly, I watch small clips/movies on my phone when I'm in the train so I needed a good media player, I wanted the htc equalizer which isn't in the stock rom and the list goes on and on.

Edit: forgot the remote desktop and voip addons, those I installed recently and I'm very happy with especially the last. Skype was pretty bad before, now it's perfectly usable.

Juicys is quick, battery life seems to be great also to me juicys rom = mightyrom pro 4.10. After seeing a post here about scrosler's rom im looking over it and it seems to have great reviews.

[Mpetrosino]

JD's 4.0 Rom, Very Fast CDMA only ROM. Its not his newest rom but a good one i think. I love this phone.

Yeah scrosler's roms are great. I was so thankful i donated 5 bucks. :D

Nonetheless, im currently using SSK's 1.5 lite which is like.. the least burdened ROM with just the bare essentials not too much junk. Personally, i prefer to install apps myself if i want them. This rom keeps most of the stock programs and adds a few nifty ones i never knew existed but am grateful for. Overall, it improved battery life and it seems to run better than the Stock Verizon rom. :)

[hixie]

I went to the HTC service center yesterday so they could look at my SMS and e-mail problem, they gave me a new ROM and holy :banana::banana::banana::banana:! the phone is so much faster and responsive now, it even came with google maps that works and could find my location within one second i press the update button.
If these custom ROMs are faster than the official ones then how much faster would my diamond be?

[LaMpiR]

Diamond would be a lot faster. I'm using duttys V4 now but I will try out something else today.

sprint htc touch pro, I've had it since christmas

[Circaflex]

well after a few days of messing around with roms I think i like mightyrom the most, seems to be the quickest and havent had a glitch yet *knocks on wood* just upgraded to mightyrom 4.13 (had 4.12) and im loving it.



On a side note, im kinda bummed i see there is already a touchpro2 listed on htc's site and should be coming out soon :( and to think my TP is only a few months old.

[MiKA7]

you guys should try PROven Rom 2.4 an ultra fast rom with no bugs(atleast for me) it also has the Touch-HD manila (tf3d)

ok, so ive had this HTC Fuze for a month now, and im so excited that i looked in the xtreme mobile forum and saw all the talk about the touchPro. What do u guys think is the best rom for the Fuze? (At&t).

There are ALOT of good Roms out there for ALOT of different devices. What i would strongly suggest you do is go over to a site like PPCGeeks or XDA Developers and see which ROM you prefer. Because basically, most of the ROMs have different styles and different preloaded programs. Some more than others. The real key when looking for a ROM is finding one that suits your needs and i personally prefer the lighter roms with less preloaded stuff but even less of the OEM Verizon junk ive got.

Here are some helpful links to those sites.

I was in an AT&T store today to get another iPhone for our business account - saw the fuze for the first time. LOVE - Love that keyboard layout. Would love to exchange my Touch Pro for the Fuze for that KB.

Which touch pro do you have?
Verizon or Sprint? :confused:

[gr8golf]

Sprint

[Russian]

Ah i see. Atleast you dont have the crippled Verizon version with wai less ram.

[splitstep]

Yeah man the Fuze ownz my socks. Its my first all-in-one phone, and im very very pleased with its performance and capabilities. Thanks for the help Russian, i'll check out those sites... I think im going to prefer a lite rom.

From my old HTC Kaiser

It's a dutty rom

[Circaflex]

OH MAN the new mightyrom5 (winmobil 6 .5) is AMAZZING

[diredesire]

Out of curiosity, did any/all of you purchase these phones on contract, or 3rd party? If 3rd party, ~how much did you pay? I have a Kaiser right now, and I'm thinking about upgrading to either a G1 or a HTC TPro. Any recommendations?

[Reznik Akime]

I got mine outside of a contract from ATT. Was $499. I know I could have gotten a better deal elsewhere, but meh.

[gr8golf]

Yep - installed it last night, still customizing it. :up:

[Reznik Akime]

Where are you guys getting the Mightyrom from? Don't seem to be on XDA.

-Edit-
Nevermind

[wolven]

Its for CDMA only, and is available on ppcgeeks

[Russian]

The CDMA seems to be more popular since its verizon and sprint while the GSM is just for ATT mostly.

Im sure there are plenty of good ROMs for the Fuze that im sure some ppl here have used.

I've went through a slew of them myself and the only one to catch my interest with performance and (sometimes) stability is EnergyRom.

Windows Mobile 6.5 gave me SIX times the battery life on my Touch Diamond.

I'm using SSK's 1.8 Win-M 6.5 Build 21500 now.

AFAIK 21501 is RC1 so i will try that build,also thaey say that in may we can expect final wm6.5

I haven't tried Mighty 5 yet, But SSK's 1.8 has some Wi-Fi Connect issues. It doesn't see my adapter built-within the phone.

[gr8golf]

Dowloading Juicy's latest ROM - will give that a shot.

[dominick32]

Guys. Best rom hands down Energy Rom 2.0.. Build April 14th , 2009. This rom is flat out faster than anything else out there.

Dom

[diredesire]

Hey Dom,

Have you had a chance to try the 3.0 build yet? I'd like to hear your comments...

[gr8golf]

Ya - the faster the better, not into the bells and whistles too much. I went back to Mighty 4.16 after trying the latest 2 builds of Juicy / Mighty that were based on WM 6.5.

[Circaflex]

ive spent the last 2 weeks testing the 6.5 roms at ppcgeeks; it seems to me mighty5 is the best of them all so far. All have pros and cons but i have found mighty5 to be the best overall speedwise and small quirks.

[Russian]

Most of the best Roms arent always Verizon friendly with our crippled ram.

[Reznik Akime]

Hey Dom,

I've been running 3.0 for a while now and I really like it.

I'm using the newest mighty room that got Windows 6.5 Build 21222. Newest build yet.

[Circaflex]

the may 8th release by mighty is probably the best all around, be sure to install his hotfix though for the camera issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions for us helpless verizon users? im currently running SSK 1.5 for VZN. Do you guys have any other lite roms out there you think are better?

Technically you can use any rom, just change the pagepool. I know inside of mighty's thread he has a walk through to adjust the pagepool to fit the verizon phone.

[trueplaya4ever8]

Well looks like I need to get to flashing mine... Stock Sprint one... is really laggy and slow. And my battery life really blows?

It's not a pain in the ass is it??

[Circaflex]

For battery life, be sure to upgrade your rom and perform all backlight screen tweaks. Also update your radio to the newest sprint radio or telus radio (it helps boost signal strength, internet speeds, and battery life!) Im using Sprints newest at the moment but have heard great things about telus. And yes your services works as normal even with a different radio.

True, i think my current rom cam with a pagepool changer.

This phone is a million times better with custom roms....

Good stuff, I might try Juicy's rom later this week.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone make a comment on the ppcgeek forum vs the xda-developer forum? I frequent xda due to owning a Kaiser, but I'm looking to move soon over to either a HTC Pro (Fuze) or iPhone if I can get one on the cheap. Just curious on where to frequent :)

For a touch Pro you definitely want to look at PPCGeeks. There are ALOT of custom roms on there as well as alot of very knowledgable people about this phone. As for an iPhone... bleh. :p:

I am running the May 8 build, not the latest. Have you run both of them, and is there much improvement? Reconfiguring my phone this often is killing me.

[Circaflex]

Yea i was running may 8, and it was great. I really wanted to hold off to flash but i couldnt resist. I had issues towards the end of my days using may 8th build, S2Answer wasnt working correctly, random freezings. Needed to hard reset anyways, so i flashed up to the newest build. I am finding this one more responsive and much more stable for MY USE.

Im also liking Titanium/Chrome more than touchflo3d. Customizing the homescreen is super sweet.

OK - I'll flash mine again with the 5.25 build. Is the Titanium / Chrome just the default WinMo 6.5 interface? Any chance of a screenshot of your homescreen?

[Russian]

Im starting to think i might go WinMo 6.5 because im kind of getting bored of TF3D

[Circaflex]

yep, once you go 6.5 you wont be bored. I like how EVERYTHING in 6.5 is finger scrollable, it actually works great!

gr8golf: im not sure how to take a SS of my phone homescreen, i can if someone can point me in the right direction

[gr8golf]

No need - I went ahead and flashed up the MightyRom 5.24.09 version. Takes me a while to set up Exchange / Communicator / all the rest, but I keep on doing it. I think I'll be on this build for a while - it's pretty fast and stable.

Okay - I put the latest SSK ROM on this morning, looks really good so far. The EnergyROM I experimented with was a pig. I'm going to let this go for a couple of weeks and then try the SsS ROM.

[Russian]

Yeah, im using the latest SSK 2.6 Rom. The thing about these SSK roms is that they're designed for Verizon and Sprint users with Verizon users more in mind because of the fact that verizon users have less Ram in their systems and that requires a different type of ROM.
