After countless hours of trying to get a stable version of Touch-IT Lite for the Wing on my Wing, I have finally called it quits and have gone back to the T-Mobile stock ROM.
I flashed to Touch-IT Lite for the Wing and for some unknown reason, it combined itself with the stock T-Mobile ROM! I still had the T-Mobile splash screen and all the default programs that the ROM comes with were also installed on the today screen.
I followed all of THESE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358615) directions exactly, so I don't know why I end up with the inbred child of Touch-IT Lite and T-Mobiles ROM on my device. Until I can figure out what to do, I'm staying stock.
Thanks for all the hard work Itje, I still tried!

i don't know if you tried to hard spl your device first but i'm pretty sure you must with itje's roms. i would suggest trying one of the open touch roms or icp fans roms. those are a little easier to get flashed to your phone and are excellent roms for sure. no hard spl needed:cool:

I have not tried his latest touch it roms. May be he didnt include an empty ext rom. So, the possibility is: all the programs+settings there in the ext rom are loaded in the main memory after hard reset

That rom must not have Primary Splash screens. When you decompile a rom you get 3 files: windows.nb ... PrimarySplash.nb ... Radio.nb.
Perhaps it only Flashes the windows.nbh so you will keep whatever splash screens you had on the phone -- in your case the Stock T-Mobile Spashes.
You can make you own splash screen and flash it and it will only change The first splash screen. Then you overwrite the welcomehead.96.png and change the second screen to whatever you like.
Its also possible to flash Just the radio.
As far as I know a rom will not integrate itself with another one. When you flash one it overwrites the previous one.
Personally I cannot use any of the Touch IT roms as they don't include Internet Sharing and any rom that does not have it is of no use to me. Open Touch and ICP-Touch roms are excellent!

You have tried one old ROM when there are several newer ROMs to choose from. Try one of those first. :-)

Right now I'm using Open Touch Biggy 4.0. Its pretty nice. Only problem I have is with the voice speed dial comes up all the time when I'm streaming internet radio. I had the problem with 2.7 also. Not a big fan of quick menu but you can turn it off by taking out of Startup.
I've always wanted to try a Touch IT rom but everyone I've ever tried didn't have Internet Sharing. I see they do now so I will try one.

Okay after having Flashed just about every rom there is on here for the T-Mobile Wing, I have settled on one. Its fun to test -- there really are alot of good roms on here. However, from Stock to the new 6.1 build, I must say that Open Touch 3.0 zcink lite/micro is absolutely the best rom for the T-Mobile Wing for what I need.
I took it apart and used only the Windows.nb actually raising it to 6 mb pagepool to give it a little more stability. Remade it into .nbh and Flashed it, keeping my custom PrimarySplash and the newest radio.
Its totally awesome.
I took out the PBar from accessories and put the newest 1.5 into Windows/Startup. Nice. I installed the newest Battery Status over the one in there -- awesome.
Took out and deactivated all the sliding sounds in the registry -- very nice. !
So, for what its worth -- its still the absolute best rom out there.

I have Hard-SPL'ed my device, the SPL is 4.70 yang. When I flashed to CanonYang, it worked perfectly. The only affliation to T-Mobile my phone had was the branding on the case. I'm trying to flash an OS.nb ROM, not an NBH (which is definitely easier, IMHO).

It was the newest ROM for the Wing that I could find. Everything else is for the Herald. I know David made a keyboard fix, but I love using ALT + Left Right arrow for IE... it's become habitual :D
Seriously though, it's still a released ROM... there's no reason why it shouldn't work. I downloaded the following ROMs:
TouchIT Lite for the Wing
TouchIT v2.3B
TouchIT Black
Suggestions are welcome. Anything would be better than the stock T-Mobile ROM, but right now, it's the only one that works.

I have tried all the Roms and went back to stock t-mobile Rom. Most of the Roms have all the useless stock items removed and replace with third party apps that I don't need and still have the same free space and WM6.1 needs more work. I think the cooks are doing a great job I just have not found one that fits my needs. Wish I Had time to learn how to cook so I could build a ROM with office 6.1 and ms voice command and not much else for maximum space.
