Remove branding

---

Hi all,

I've got the D2 from my provider (O2 Germany), it has a blue colour scheme and a different ordering of some menu items.

Has anybody tried to remove the (software) branding from the phone? I like the look of the original HTC design.

Thanks in advance,
Caroline

You will have to wait until they have made the Hard SPL, you will then be able to load custom ROMs which will do away with branding.

Yes, this video shows a the T-Mobile version with the branding removed.

Sorry for this newbie question:

What exactly can i get with a custom ROM? Can I replace the whole OS, or is this just for installing different components (e.g. other themes)?
Is there something like a original HTC ROM?
What if I update to Windows Mobile 6.5 with a custom ROM? Can I then use the HTC update or do I have to wait for the new version of my provider?

Thanks in advance,
Caro

Hi Caro,

habe gerade eben mein MDA compact V (T-Mobile branding) bekommen : )
Hast du schon was gefunden um es zu säubern? Mag das Style so überhaupt nicht.

Hi there. Got my MDA Compact V today and have to say: the TF3D looks different to the clip. Guess in the video there was a pre-release-version,
similar to the normal HTC-version.

An uns deutsche^^ :
Ich finde aber, dass diese jetzigen TF3D Farben deutlich besser sind, als
bei dem MDA Compact IV (Diamond).
Da war ja alles weiß & Margenta-rot *würg*

PS.: Great device! (Hope I don't regret the change from Diamond to this one^^)
