New Dopod ROM for HTC Excalibur 1.15.707.2

drunknmunkie · Dec 18, 2006

Basically it's the best parts of the tomobile rom merged with the htc rom. The version numbers are higher as well.

peace,

I have an unocked DASH and was able to load up the dopod rom. first you have to load up the boot loader rom thats and the ftp here, then loadup the dopod rom. I've had my dash unlock since day one from imei-check.
it loaded up just fine. the big difference i've noticed is that now when I hold down a key the alternate keys charater appears like in the tmobile rom. The font is a little bit bigger, which don't mind at all. I'm using the dash on cungular currently. i've noticed my call clarity is a bit better and the recption is better.

Hmm, My Phone Is an Original HTC S620 from the factory and I was able to load 2 Test roms without a bootloader downgrade and it worked fine. But this new Dopod rom isn't loading at all..

drunknmunkie · Dec 18, 2006

probably bacause the htcs620 are not cid unlocked. that's just my guess.

Ok I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my phone that was messed up so I reflashed An HTC Shipped ROM from the FTP site and it works great.. Then when I tried to flash the Dopod ROM it fails at 4% with an Invalid Vendor Error.. =( now i have to pay for CID unlocking huh..

So basically its just like the T-mobile rom just unbranded? it has all the update features?

Thanks for the heads up DMunkie, I did the bootloader thing and then the dopod rom loaded fine. I've got to do some playing around to see the differences but as it's booting right now I see I have a new startup logo. No biggie, at least it is not as long as the T-mobile one.

Hey Baomobile:

Are you still doing unlocking? sorry for being off topic

leoiden · Dec 19, 2006

hey Baomobile i second that request i am also interested in cid unlocking my dash?

ExTREmE99 · Dec 19, 2006

Uhh, I dont think he unlocks for HTC but he does for other phones, Hows the improvments for the new rom?

leoiden · Dec 19, 2006

corrrect me please fellow members???? to downgrade the bootloader on my dash does it have to be cid unlocked??

ROM seems to be fast and stable. Font name and size is different, looks the one that is on Samsung i320. It looks horrible without cleartype enabled. But I can enable it with Tweaks2K2 or registry change. The problem with this font that some custom today themes doesn't show properly.

I think speakerphone works better now. Cleaner with better frequency response.

ID64 · Dec 19, 2006

Reverted back to original HTC. Can't stand this ugly font

Troy McClure · Dec 19, 2006

Font bothered me at first but I can live with it, I installed my favorite theme (Philly Eagles) so besides the top and bottom of the screen, all looks good.

The hold for alternate character is nice to have back. Someone do me a favor and tell me what your current rom does when you press alt+space when in a text edit mode. This new ROM has keytouch by keytouch.net. Excuse my ignorance but I've never seen this on the last rom or the T-mobile rom, is this the software that makes the alt character work? If it is then maybe it can be esily added regardless of your rom?

Keytouch also lets you copy and paste which is nice, once again, I am not sure if previous roms had this.

Thanks,

Troy

I can't even enable cleartype either. I cannot edit the registry.

Ok as far as this rom goes: I have it installed on my S620 and it's pretty responsive. I like that all the screens are skinned blue instead of the green HTC theme.. Holdng down the keys to have it change to another character is good.. As for the bad.. I get a network error every time the Phone reboots, The fonts are too big.. (It makes the phone look cheap) The character map of the keyboard is not the same. ( i go to press ! and its &) I seem to not be able to edit the registry with Total Commander, I can't Initiate OMAP overclocking, uugghh.. theres more but i'm tired.. i think imma switch back to the old rom if i dont get this done by tonight..

Everyone I know including myself Reflashed back to the HTC Rom Right away. This ROM Needs some work..

Troy McClure · Dec 19, 2006

I too flashed back, I could not get use to the font after-all and I did not like the fact that it asked me about my network connections when powering it on every time.

I did like the keytouch.net stuff though, I have to find a way to get that portion into my current rom.
