So basically, I'm a noob to all of this upgrading and ROM stuff, is there anywhere i can go to get started; or like a step-to-step guide on how get WM 6.5.1 on my HTC Touch (with Bell)?

EDIT: Thanks guys, I can't believe i have WM 6.5.1 running on my phone now! :D

Can you post your default.txt or pm it to me? I cannot get Android to run for my life... and I am sure that I am missing a minor detail somewhere in the Default.txt. Thanks.

use the newest basefiles. (111609) i think?
use that default.txt.

what does your error message say?
did you change the panels?

Yes, I did change the panels. There is no error message but after launching HaRet, it starts going through all the initialization and it stops, as if it was waiting for input "\#". I tried 1 2 and 3 for the panels and I think that 2 is the one that worked (no more flashing white screen).
I will give 111609 a shot and see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion.

Unlock your Vogue with the coke unlocker http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
Install Custom Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554664 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487)
Install SPB Mobile Shell (optional but simplifies your interface so much and no lag)
Install a shit load of other cool programs to make your phone cooler
Be prepared for a lot of tweaking and backup your contacts with activesync or if your not a power user just install a program called pim backup so you can backup everything to your storage card incase you need to restore it all back if you have to format your phone (which is common with windows 6.5+) Getting windows 6.1 with spb mobile 3.5 would most likely be the best stable combo in my opinion
