I've had my Fuze for 3 days now, and I have to flash the ROM to clean all this AT&T crap off my phone... Why must AT&T add all this crap and make it uninstallable.

Anyway...
Step 1 is to flash HARDSPL so that if something happens in flashing the ROM it can be recovered.

Step 2 is to put the ROM of your choice onto a mem card (1gb or less, FAT32). Ensure the file name of the ROM is RAPHIMG.nbh

[Resources] Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) - xda-developers


There are a number of images that can be used, all with a variety of features and apps. I have decided to use NATF's HTC Fuze v3.2 Standard
from: [ROM] [WWE] [24-Dec-08] NATF's HTC Fuze v3.2 [Standard + Lite] 4 Flavors Total - xda-developers


Recall what I mentioned about Flashing HardSPL first... My first flashing attempt was from an incomplete copied file... it blew up about 60% of the way through the flash process and crashed. solution... copy the file to the SC card again and start the flash again... Simple.

I'm off to explore this ROM and determine what needs to be added to the UC process for future resets :)

After spending most of an evening exploring, I can say that the chef is a very organized person and likes to be very methodical.

All the app icons in the program menu are in category folders, not just dumped into programs.

The updated diamond theme works well, only with a few minor graphic glitches.

It is FAST... (in my opinion). The GPS works without significant delay or lag, which is probably a OS issue considering how widespread people's complaints are.

I'll look into battery life, as I'm a heavy data and mail user

Thks radimus for posting your experience with the Fuze ROM upgrade process.

I've decided to get the HTC Fuze as it seems to be the first device to come close to resembling my Dell Axim X51v specs, and allowing me to fulfill my lust for CONVERGENCE - replacing 3 of my most used devices: my Razr2 V9 cell, Axim X51v PDA, and my Garmin 10x BT.

Unfortunately, my Axim has been relegated to be mostly used as my car GPS and for business travel only. I was disappointed that the small fortune I spent on the PDA + apps + utilities + accessories - not to mention TIME was being wasted by my Axim just sitting in my car's glove compartment. But, it was simply not practical for me to carry so many devices for my day to day activities and worry about all those batteries, chargers, etc.

The Fuze is the first device to seduce me back to the unfriendly, buggy, under-performing Windows Mobile platform. I can finally have it ALL on a decently sized cell phone that I can take with me everywhere I go and only worry about charging 1 battery instead of 3!!! (well excluding BT headset)

I'm really looking forward to using all my previously must have productivity apps/utils and so forth.

Having said that, I have been lurking over at XDA and other Fuze sites to decide whether to optimize/tweak or go for a ROM upgrade.

Frankly, if it wasn't for the new Fuze and those gifted XDA guys, I would not have considered coming back to the WM platform - I was just about to jump ship to either Symbian or the Iphone3G - yes, the Iphone is extremely limited but it's smooth and it simply works beautifully - best UI in the world. To sum it up: Fuze + XDA = give WM another chance.

After perusing over several forums, I came to the conclusion that NATF ROM v2.2 might be the most stable and user friendly for a noob just entering the rough waters of the Fuze maze.

Radimus, I'm looking forward to learning about your experience with v3.2. Good luck to all. :approve: Cheers

I have really been enjoying this phone, it is actually much faster than my 8525 with the lightest of ROMs available.

BTW, I found a new toy app that is very cool
Gyrator2: [APP][UPD: 2008.12.10.1]Gyrator 2: Auto Screen Rotation for *ALL* HTC Diamonds - xda-developers
It does auto screen rotation based on the G-Sensor and defined rules. Useful for some apps that work better in landscape without having to open the keyboard.

ApptoDate is another cool utility app to keep these community developed apps updated... AutoUpdate for the freeware stuff :-)
