Greetings to all.

Release 11 of the Dopod Replacement ROM is now available.

Release 11 is the result of all the work over the past month on the development build, and is now ready and stable for every day, mission critical usage!

You can get the updated ROM from the Dopod Replacement ROM page.

I’ve put together another update for my replacement ROM for the Dopod 838 Pro and compatible line of phones. Release 4 contains the following changes:

  • Mapped button 5 press to voice dial.
  • Added voice dialling to Appbuttons.
  • Added fix for scrolling slowness in Pocket IE.
  • Changed keyboard skin to match theme.
  • Unbundled OS ROM from Radio ROM due to popular request. You can now choose your own radio version.

You can get the updated ROM and view the full details of the release here.

So after quite a while of hacking Windows Mobile 6 for the Dopod 838 Pro (aka HTC Hermes), I have hacked together a replacement firmware for the phone. There are a number of improvements in this ROM from the stock HTC Dopod 838 Pro firmware. I’ve put this all on a single page that will be updated as I continue with this project.

25 days after my Dopod 838 Pro arrived at the Phonetec service centre, I’m still waiting for it back. It looks like it they have replaced every circuit board in the unit, and now they’re replacing the LCD screen as well. They say that they probably won’t get the parts for another 10 working days – so I’m tipping that I won’t get the phone back until the beginning of January. At this point, this is the longest warranty repair I’ve ever had to wait for – If I don’t get it until January, then I will have been waiting nearly 1 1/2 months. Great service *cough*.
