PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AT THE ROM'S THREAD,
THIS IS FOR THE FAQ ONLY,
AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO HELP EVERYONE!!
(Besides, if we keep this thread clean, it makes it easier to find information.
And I know you all don't like to search. :P )
**This is a read-only section for the one-stop shopping of information
and tips to help you use your phone to its fullest potential"**
ONLY ACCEPTIONS WHERE POSTING IN THIS THREAD IS ALLOWED ARE:
1. YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD TO THIS FAQ.
2. YOU HAVE A FIX TO ADD TO THIS FAQ.
3. YOU VOTED NO IN THE POLL. PLEASE INCLUDE DETAILS ON WHY YOU VOTED NO.
*If you have a problem with something that has an "original thread" link,*
*go there and post your problem there.*
*You'll get a better/faster answer if you do so,*
*plus that's where it belongs.*
Any and all questions and problems can and will be addressed is the actual thread for NFSFANs ROM Here
Do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT post questions on this thread - this thread is for fixes and FIXES ONLY
The more people keep ignoring the request NOT to ask questions in this thread, the more useless this thread becomes to those looking for a repository of fixes in one place rather than having to dig through the 600+ pages on the ROMs page itself thus turning this thread into something akin to the overcrowded thread there
Do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT post questions on this thread - this thread is for fixes and FIXES ONLY
Think you all can see it now to NOT post questions here - only fixes
Please take the time to thank NFSFAN if you have not done so already.

Please feel free to message me with windows mobile 6.5 tweaks/mods that you find,
if you find a better titanium panel, skins, themes,
or anything that is listed in my coming soon/working on thread.
Also, if a walk through that is provided and is confusing or non-informative,
or if you would like a walk through for something else that's not listed,
please let me know also!!
This could be the best FAQ for the best 6.5 rom (IMO) with your help. ;)
Thanks goes out to everyone that has contributed to this thread,

let me know so I can properly credit this!!
Thank you, and enjoy the FAQ!

And Flash A Custom Rom
And Relock Your Vogue
(Written by Detroit_Doug Himself)
First go here and
READ the hell outta it until you have it step by step.
(BTW use the 2.31 unlocker regardless about the GPS thing)
OK, now that you've read that (happy dance time)
Download the 2.31 Unlocker and NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM.
And make sure to download one of the DCD Carrier cabs here
and copy it to your SD card as you may need this after the flashing is done.
(will get back to this tasty morsel later)
OK, now you have an Unlocker and a ROM - now what, hmmmm
Use WinRAR and extract both the files into separate folders,
Press and hold the Power button+Camera Button and Stylus in the reset hole
until the 3 color screen comes up and it says serial,
now plug in your cable and it should change to USB.
Can you taste the rainbow and it is over the land of USB??
Great, now go into the Unlocker folder you created
and doubleclick on the RomUpdateUtility.exe
(going to be called RUU.exe from this point on).
Follow the steps on the desktop monitor.
(You might get some errors about sleep4.exe - dont worry about it)
Just keep hitting enter and it will go away after the 4th or so time.
At some point the program is going to tell you to disconnect the phone,
sounds scary doesn't it, losing the connection and all - dont be,
be a brave little soldier and disconnect it and count to 10,
cant do that, get some help in getting there,
its really that important LOL once you (or your friend)
gets to 10 plug it back in, does it say USB again? good!!
happy dance AFTER you hit a key on the keyboard per the on screen directions.
It's going to eventually reboot, let it and it will be unlocked,
let it start up and do its thing, when its done - go ahead and go back into bootloader mode again
(remember power+camera+stylus twister move you did earlier, its back to that again)
with the cable disconnected and it had better say SERIAL again..
now go ahead and plug in the cable and it should change to USB.
Now go into the ROM folder and double click the RUU.exe here ...
and follow the directions that come up on the screen...
Once its done and the phone reboots, wait...
wait some more..
still keep waiting..
no not yet ...
stop touching it..
it wont help pacing..
just be patient...
oh look an Orange screen,
ok here comes some fun.
Follow the drections to go through the setup,
don't worry about it being too accurate and all as it is about to be erased anyway...
let the autorun happen once windows starts and it will reboot on its own again.
- Yes it really IS a smartphone isn't it. LOL -
OK, as it is booting up again when there is a black screen
- press and hold the red button+green button+stylus in reset hole (known as a Hard reset)
until the screen turns gray - follow the directions again
(save you some time "press the Enter key" thats the big silver button in the center of the buttons LOL)
and when the progress bar moves all the way to the right, press the call key (the green one).
Again, it will restart (told you it was smart) and now go ahead and do the setup
and customizations and do them right this time as your hanging onto them this time
(sounds weird but if you dont hard reset after flashing it,
flying monkeys will swoop in and take your phone and your little dog toto too)
OK, now remember that DCD Carrier Cab, you do, fantastic ..
so to the storage card where you copied it to - you didn't forget that step did you???
good I knew my faith in you would pay off, tap on it and run it.
It will install all the Carrier goodies to make your life easy,
and your sex life better and even improve that certain area of a ..
wait sorry wrong channel again....
just go ahead and tap it, run it and reboot.
**Note from Codybear**
I personally go through the RUU.EXE flash process 2-3 times each time I flash a new rom.
I flash it, and then let customizations run,
and then flash again, let customization run again,
then you guessed it, flash again and customizations run once again.
It's a tad bit lengthy, but due to this process,
I usually don't have any problems that most people do with any roms.
Not sure why it makes a difference, but it does.
**Important**
As pointed out to me by Aaronpoweruser,
I forgot to mention that before flashing this rom,
upgrade your radio to a 3.xx.xx version!!
(It doesn't need to be the latest and greatest version available)
Note on Radio Upgrading By Doug:
"An upgrade is not needed - it can help depending on your carrier,
but its based on a carrier by carrier exceptions.
I'm on Sprint with the 3.42.30 radio with no issues whatsoever
where upgrading to 3.42.50 on some carriers can create problems."
To Get Back To Your Original Rom,
t is quite simple.
All you do is go to the htc.com website,
click support,
Click dropdown menu to find your device,
in my case it's: HTC Touchâ„¢ (Alltel)
Then click download for the rom upgrade.
and then run the ruu.exe just like you did with the custom rom.

(will have cabs and the registry locations for noobs and non-noobs) ;)
Is your activesync continuously popping up on your phone?
if so, then you need the Async Fix:
Download
**DO NOT USE THIS YET-THERE ARE REPORTED PROBLEMS**
Left the cab link here for anyone interested in trying to help figure out why it's not wanting to work.
Otherwise I'm searching for another fix, if I can't find one,
I might just write a mortscript since the only other fixes I have seen disable activesync fully,
meaning you cannot sync using activesync.
SMS160:
Makes Texts go up to 160 characters.
(only works if your carrier allows 160 character texts,
otherwise it will split the text at it's default size)
Sprint, Alltel, And I think Verizon Allow 160.
Bell only allows 140 character texts.
I have no idea about other carriers, sorry!

to install, copy to windows directory)
Download Lockscreen cpr File Cab Installer
*If you have customized your lockscreen,
the cab installer or copying the file to the windows directory
will overwrite your lockscreen cpr,
Its the same principal as titanium cpr's.

All you do is install this,

Turn aGPS Off:
If you'd like to use your gps without connecting to a data connection,
use this cab, it should work.
It will make your phone take longer to acheive satellite locks,
but if you don't have a data plan, this is what you most likely want.

but if it does not work, let me know.*
