htc touch wifi(would like some info about whats possible with custom roms)

[annerajb]

hello i am new to this scene and would like some more info about if its possible with a custom rom to enable wifi on a htc touch(elf) maybe a patch or a firmware. your response will be greatly appreciated.
i have some other question about custom roms but this is not the correct forum

[djskaw]

it is a hardware thing so if it doesnt come with it then you cant have it

[annerajb]

so il have to get a sd wifi card :(

The wifi does not work properly on it anyway so I wouldnt bother.

[jvieira]

doesn't the Touch (elf) comes with Wi-Fi? or am I mistaken?

[annerajb]

it has the chip i thing but sprint disables it.

i dont knwo abt there but in my country HTC touch has Wifi inbuilt and if the ROM has disabled it then iether change the ROM or search there has to a command which will switch the WiFi on as no on is so stupid to make a rom with wifi disabled even when the phone supports that.
so check thoroughly there has to be some command which will switch on the Wifi else u can always change over to another ROM

yeah the thing is that if you change the rom it wont work with sprint :(

Doh! Here in Spain they sell the Touch with WiFi enabled. I think it's stupid to cap this feature knowing the Touch has no 3G/HSDPA, so they leave you without high-speed internet connection.

The OP is referring to the CDMA version of the touch AKA Vogue and this version of the touch as slightly different hardware and no Wifi. The GSM version AKA Elf has wifi just like yours.
