3 (Three) UK Diamond ROM?

[wrsg]

If such a ROM exists, i would like to use it to brand my phone to 3 to get the free skype calls, is there such a ROM?

[Anthony2oo5]

what do you mean to get free skype calls?

You would still have to be on the 3 network.

i know. but my current diamond is orange-branded.

i have got hardspl on it, and its unlocked, but i would like the free skype calls as i said, so i would just need the branded ROM as well as a 3 sim.

does anyone know if that ROM has skype on it? also can someone give me the serial number of a 3 Australian HTC Diamond, as the page is asking for it in order to download?

Why not just download the Skype app?

if it was that easy, dont you think i would have done it by now???

to use the free calls offer, you have to use the 3 skype software, not the usual version.

Sorry but perhaps you should be clearer next time about what you need and why.

You actually don't need a rom you need the software. You might be better off putting this in the general hacking section as I am sure all you need to do is get it from a WinMo based device. Not specifically a diamond.

Hi all,perhaps you may help out here.I have an HTC touch diamond and I'm in South Africa.
Now,I want to flash my rom as well to escape all the problems that are ROM related.I came across this rom:1.94.421.2 wwe,has anyone tried it and saw it is any good for a South African based HTC Diamond p3700.

Thanx

you do actually need to download the 3 skype software, they don't let the normal skype software use the free calls things

the only way to get the 3 skype software at the moment is to either buy a 3 skype phone, or use a ROM that has the software on it already. i also have a kaiser which i have heard has an official UK 3 rom, but don't use it as my primary phone.

3 have said they will be enabling all 3g phones to use their own version skype software later this year though, but i want to start using it now.

nice idea along with me being on 3 - ive scanned plenty and cant seem to find anything

keep reverting back to the Sony if i need it but sim swopping is a nightmare

bookemarked just incase anything comes up :D

Iskoot is the skype client 3 uses. Works perfectly for me

[chattyuk]

When I had my n95 on three to get the skype app all I did was go to planet3 on the phone and download skype on that. Im sure that could be done with windows mobile

awesome find dude, many many thanks. are you able to use the free calls offer on this too?

Yeah it works for the free calls. I left it running on a skype call for half an hour and my voice minutes remained the same.

I'm not sure if there's a 3 windows live messenger for windows mobile. Someone got a java version working but it's a little low res for the diamond. Works great nonetheless.

nice one mate, it does indeed work. i feel like sending you actual money to show my gratitude :)

edit: shit, i spoke a bit soon there, the stupid iskoot is not persisting my changes to the registry, therefore it is no longer working, despite my repeated attempts to re-modify the registry after uninstalling and re-installing. argh!

Thats strange, maybe it could be down to the rom youre using. Ive tried it on several roms and it worked fine.

The only thing I do is change BackupHost, CallURL, DefaultSKHost and BaseURL to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948, and run the program. That guide doesnt tell you to change 'BaseURL' which could be the problem. Do you change the phone number in the registry or anything else?

i tried it on the reconstructed 3 rom which was probably a bad idea, as the rom is a bit old now. i did change all those values to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948

i didnt change the phone number though, am i supposed to?

anyway i am off sick from work, so gonna try out a few different roms

annoying thing is, it did actually work. but when i exited, it just reverted the settings back to the defaults.

btw, which roms have u tried it on?

edit: yesssss, got it working again, using shifus latest rom.

Thats great that its working now. The link I provided had a different number to the one that came up in my registry so I think 3 changed it, therefore it wouldve been a bad idea to change the number in your registry.

I tried it on Nataly 2.4, Shaks 4.20 and several Energyroms. I think some roms revert the registry back to default after soft resets.

just as an aside, i recently bought a skypephone (S2), this is before i found out i could use iskoot on any WM6 phone.

the version on the S2 is 2.9.18. it doesn't appear to be a java app, but the voice quality is a lot lower than what i get on Windows XP Skype.

is the latest WM Iskoot version the 1.1 version? has anyone tried signing up through their form to see if they have updated it at all? i might give that a try...

3 have stated on their website that they will soon make the skype software available to all 3g users. i'm guessing they are going to do this using java, as how else would they be able to support the myriad phones OSes out there?

edit: looks like 1.1 is the latest....
