Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Now that Conflip has taken a break from making our Alltel specific ROMs I''m curious as to what the Alltel peeps are running on their Diamonds?

Do tell.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

1.13.671.2

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I've been using Mighty's ROMs since 3.9, which is around the time when I first found these boards. I'm kinda new to this but the MightyROM series has proven - for me - to be consistently stable and a pleasure to use!

4.8 is excellent, i can't believe how snappy the TF3D animations and menus are now. I am having a problem with the ringer though, and based on the MR thread it looks like others are too..l. hopefully it'll be fixed in 4.9.

I tried Conflipper's, grooverom 4, and juicy and all worked well. grooverom had a few quirks but that may be due to me screwing up something since I had to cab it to work w Alltel?

You should be able to find something Alltel compatible that you like pretty easily.. lots of good ROMs out there! :mrgreen:

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

So is that one thumbs up for Mighty Rom? lol I've been thinking of flashing to it... So it DOES fix the "sluggishness" of TF3D? B/c it IRKS me how slow my diamond seems to change between screens....

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

If you're interested in Rhodium TF3DD, definitely check out intxROM.

Some Alltel people are using it with great success, and it's probably one of the fastest ROMs.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

i am using con's rom so i can have pix messaging. tried mighty but the ringtone problem was too irritating for me.

intx - do we need to cab it to run on alltel?

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

It's been reported both ways. Either way I recommend using DCD's cab.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Absolute thumbs up for MightyROM. :headbang:

Also I'm using the Rhodium cab that Mighty & Rico released for the ROM and it works/looks great.

intx, your ROM looks great. Looking forward to checking it out.. heck, I may flash it today. Does it have the HD Manila stock tab? I've been looking for a Mighty alternative that has it, but the ones I tried didn't fit me in one form or fasion... :evil4: edit: looks like intx v1.4 is on the way, I'm gonna hold off and snag it ASAP... thanks intx!

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Isn't that a Sprint only ROM?

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

calcs...after juicy i used mikes for a little..buggy and whenever id update..another update would be released..so i gave up:)

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I'm using intxROM 1.3 at the moment and it works great and TF3D is very fluid. I downloaded the Alltel DCD cab and got picture messaging to work that way. Probably going to stay with this one for awhile since I finally got it set up how I like it. I would also recommend juicy's ROM as well.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

You're still using 1.3?

1.4 blows 1.3 out of the water, oluch.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

MightyROM. xD

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I'm running Mighty 4.8 right now, and it's pretty stable. It all depends on what you're looking to do, though.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Soooo... Question: I went to flash Mighty Rom the other nite... But it kept saying there was some sort of USB error... Like my phone wasn't connected to my cpu.... BUT IT WAS... I could still see the E: drive from the phone on my cpu but it wouldn't recognize the phone to flash or unlock... What gives?

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

MightROM 4.8 + Rhodium Manila

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

You need to be sure it is connected through activesync before flashing.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

So far the best working roms for me have been: Juicy 4.4 and earlier, Conflipper and Mystery's 1.5 version and Intx 1.3. Intx 1.4 is on my phone now but it seems kinda sluggish... nice looking build though. But hey, everyone has their own likes and dislikes, so my advice is "try them all" ! :)

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I am using grooveROM 4 6.1 which is Sprint specific, but I use an older dcd alltel carrier cab file, and everything works fine.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

1.4 sluggish? That's really weird, it's been nothing but crazy fast for me.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

ever since con started slowing down, i started working on my own rom. as a previous owner of a mogul, i ran DCD roms- which were hands down the best. so with the DCD mentality (very cleaned out rom) i took the alltel stock rom and just decompiled the hell out of it. removed everything i could, updated some of the things i took out that i still wanted. oh, and customized every inch.

i'm still working on removing even more things (FWUpdates, Catalog, CommonNonEA, Ceipui.exe, SQM, IPSECVPN, Enterprise, Error Reporting, and AutoUpdate)...but i am actually trying to get some guidance on these- making sure its cool to take these things out. [hey btw if you who are reading this right now is knowledgeable on these things, PM me please! At least point me to somewhere i can read about these things...]

pic messaging works for me too, and i tried a LOT of different ways to get it to work on other custom roms out there with no success. GPS works anywhere, no problems. and probably most importantly to me, its stable and has NO memory leaks. again, coming from owning a mogul i always had to be conscious of my memory usage, so its still a habit. I've gotten my rom to have only 65 mb ram in use, with just about 140 mb free at boot (using tf3d). I have under 20 mb storage space in use- 110 mb storage space free.



basically, i'm getting there...

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

My only complaint in the past with non-Alltel specific ROMs (basically anything but Conflips) was the lack of pic messaging.

I may check out intx's ROM and see how it goes.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I'm using the latest version of mighty rom 4.16. It has been working flawlessly for me. The cab for alltel picture messaging is in the 3rd post on that page. I can't think of 1 con that I have run into so far and I have been using it for about a week now! The only thing I am waiting for is the might rom with 6.5 to be released! Good Luck to you!

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Even though its a sprint rom ive been running grooverom 4 and its been great.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I have also been using MightyROM on both the Diamond and Pro. I used Con's ROM's until he stopped making them. The pic messaging works great but you have to change a couple settings to make it work. I have had less problems with Mighty's than any other ROM's that I have tried. The pic messaging problems for Alltel are an easy fix but there is alot of misinformation about how to do it on this forum. The right info is there and it is easy to do.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

please, share the info! give a link or copy/paste the info, since mms seems to be a topic that keeps coming up here.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I've been using GrooveROM or FuFu wm6.5 ROM's. I just install the attached files to get them working on Alltel with everything. I haven't had any issues with any ROM using them.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I install LennySh_Alltel_Arcsoft_3.0.26.12c first. Then install LennySh ArcSoft 5.0.71.33R3 Alltel. Then I uninstall the 3.0.26 cab. Soft reset. Then open messaging. Open sms/mms -> Menu -> Pics/Video Options -> Servers -> Alltel MMSC -> change port number to 80.

That's it. Tested with my Pro and my wife's diamond.

http://forum.htcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=2 is where you get the files. These have been posted on this forum several times and you can find them if you search.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

fyi seanborn: i've tried your method- it didnt work for me. i have 4 different versions of alltel-specific arcsoft mms, i found them by searching- go figure. i've tried using these versions and changing port numbers. tried your way of installing, installing, uninstalling, nothing. the best i can get is on some older versions of mightyrom getting arcsoft 3.x to work, showing up as an email acct.

mms is a main reason why ive started making my own custom roms (in large part b/c i enjoy what comes from my gf's phone to mine). i love the custom roms out there, but i hate that i cant get mms to work on them. so that is why i'd like to finally figure this out for myself. it would be nice.



but, reeseboy- ive never thought of trying those old dcd carrier cabs... i'm hoping...

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Its never failed me yet... If it does or doesn't work for you please let me know and also let me know which rom you tried it on. I just like to know this crap. :)

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

This never worked for me either. I could receive pics but even though on my end no one could receive mine.

Installing the DCD cab is what worked for me on the past 2 ROM's I've tried.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Im using Diamond with INTX and I just ran the carrier cab.....this rom is great...fast and it all works..1.5 will be out soon and I cant wait to see how much better this rom can do...its already fantastic

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

i tried it on mightyrom 4.8. fresh from a flash, i installed the dcd carrier cab first then i installed arc 5.0.69.44 - pretty sure the one calc put out.

the result was i could send but not receive.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Crap... I guess thats a fail. If I have time I'll play with that rom and see if I can figure that one out...

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I wonder what makes these phones different that the method I used works for me (and on two different phones) I rarely receive MMS from non WM phones. But my father has an old EnV on verizon and we can send back and forth just fine. Even though his pics look like sh t on my VGA screen.

MMS is the first thing I do after installing ROM. The method I use does make the program respond differently than stock ROM. I receive my MMS on my email tab and send from there also. I couldn't get any of the other methods posted in this forum to work for me. I think I spent 2 weeks trying different methods and when I got this to work I assumed that any other Pro or Diamond would respond the same way.

Also I am sorry about the searching comment, i didn't mean that everyone wasn't searching. I said that mostly cause I didn't want to post files that are already posted in ten other spots. I am going to try out the DCD method and see what happens with my two phones.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

I'll be loading a new ROM this weekend or early next week as I'll be traveling and gotta have the phone at 100%

Keep the info coming, broham's.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Iv only had my Alltel Diamond for a few weeks now but Iv flashed several ROMs My favorite is Mightys ROM, rstoyguy has a really nice one also but its a loaded ROM and memory was an issue, plus its heavily geared towards Sprint.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

Hi,
I started out with Juicy rom then Conflipper until they quit doing regular updates... Now I have been bouncing around quite a bit. I am currently using Mystery's lates rom. IntxRom also worked nice on my phone. After learning how to install the alltel carrier cabs, life is good.

I had issue with small mms pictures (received) that was driving me nuts for a long time. Thansks to kwattro76 and the post below that issue is now fixed.

Re: Alltel Users - What ROM are you running?
 

i flashed mighty after a long break, and it felt a little outdated for one particular reason: keyboard. there is simply no going back for me to anything other than the finger keyboard. seing that old, stock diamond keyboard scared the crap out of me, but mighty rom is very nice. its hard to pinpoint a perfect rom, really. i tried them all, loved them all. but right now i am hooked on calku's kitchens. i love making it my way, though i know my limits, which is pissing me off. u real chefs out here, customize sys files n such, which is all the difference, so i would say, go for rom that feels most comfortable to you. will the keyboard pop up or not, menus the way you want it, presets and such. skip the programs. u can always instal those. how well do u sync with the rom? do you finish each other's sandwiches? so to speak, lol, is it your type of smartphone? for example, i hated it when everytime i switched conversations in msn it poped up a keyboard. it was annoying. i ended up closing it more often then using it, so the other rom that didn't have that feature enabled was a big plus for me. these types of things, the registry tweaks, n such are where the chefs earn their name, for you.
