The Official HTC S630 (Cavalier) Thread

[maevro]

I changed the Branding bar and phone dialer screen with the help of xda. I hated seeing green even though I was using a blue scheme.

Just make 2 images and save them as these file names, then copy them into your windows folder using a file explorer. Follow the exact size of the images.

I want to experiement with the S630 ROM on my C730. Can anyone upload it somewhere for me to get to?

I also made the AT&T homescreen green if anyone is interested.

You need to CID unlock your phone first (which is imposible for now). Otherwise you'll brick your phone.

Cheers

I see a lot of you have a different ROM version then me....

HTC S630
ROM 1.18.405.4
Radio 1.43.50.00

There is no correlation between the S630 ROM and the C730 ROM. Funny thing is, HTC still acts like the S630 doesn't exist.

The non-existant support is what prevents me from getting the Cavalier! How can it not even be mentioned on HTC's worldwide page!?!

Just got the C730 ... working great so far, love the form factor.... I'm very used to closing down programs with HTC X-Button... is there something similar for smartphones? what's the easiest way besides navigating to task manager and closing?

Oxios Close Apps and Hibernate. They are free, do a search for them.

[Beretta1526]

I'm surprised there isn't a close or exit button for SmartPhones. Most of the apps don't close on their own and I would rather not install yet another piece of software on mine. I use it often enough, that the task manager is almost always one of the first 3 or 4 apps in the MRU.

I use Smarttoolkit for my start menu replacement/task manager

What exactly does this do besides function as a task manager?

I really like the Cavalier but I really miss a touchscreen.....

[URPREY]

It adds a more PPC like start menu interface, more menu options, autolock, etc.

Here is a .cab that will add a reboot (soft reset) option to your quick list. Save it to your device.

thanks for this. got it on my ATT Tilt (htc TyTN2/Kaiser) and on my S630 which just came today. They are to replace my cing 8525 (Tytn 1) and sam blackjack.

keyboard is much better on the htc s630 then black jack. screen is bigger tooa dn the phone itself isnt that much bigger. not much wider at all like i expected being the bj is pretty small width across and the dash always looked so wide.

same height almost too as the bj and about same thickness but overall its a littler larger in most dimensions but again teh screen is bigger and nicer. i was sick of the blackjack.

problem is in using the tytn2/kaiser a lot you get used to touch screen again. I wont have any need reallyf or the htc s730. its just a smartphone like the s630 but adding in teh slide out keyboard. the # pad on the front is nice and the tytn2/kaiser could use that but i guess they figure it doesnt need it as it has touch screen # pad, plus the keyboard slids out on teh right instead of left lik the 8525/tytn1 and is therefore somehow easier to see and type the #'s even though they sideways.

if they could make a form factor like the s730 and hae it be a ppc touchscreen (as i guess they dont make a smatphoen with touchscreen cus then its not a smartphone and is a ppc phone) that would be great.

the 8525 was always too bulky so i just alwyas used the blackjack and used the 8525 at home and stuff mostly but then when lazy would just use the bj on Edge then using faster wifi on teh 8525.

now its winter i dont think i need as thin a phone so going to try to use the Tilt as main phone but already when i went out sat night no way was i bringing that to the bar/club so switch back to the bj.

texting in public is kind of more inconspicuous on phoen with qwerty onfront then sliding out eh keyboard and looking like you on a mini laptop though most ppl think its like a sidekick and pretty cool.

anyway i guess first thing i need to do on teh Cavalier is adjust teh settings for ATT. prob at begin of thread? if someone can direct or repost that would be great.

also how do i switch it to 12hr and the date format cus the 24hr time and backwards euro date format with the day before the month (dd/mm/yy 23/10/2007) throws me off.


hm can;t seem to get the reboot .cab file from the megaupload page on teh cavalier itself using wifi.

says file can't be viewed

happy to report letter V scrolls down and R scrolls up on a page cus the jog wheel is a bit finicky but i like the innovtiona and am forcing myself to get used to it and use it. it just sucks how when your handling the phone or even typing on it the jog wheel is so sensitive it starts doing stuff when you just holding it.

i need to get a holster and screen protector for this phone pronto. any suggestions?

[Quatre]

ugh can't get the cab on my cavalier, just says the file cannot be viewed on the device. now i'm going to have to do it the non lazy way and transfer it onto the cav somehow. maybe i can email it from the tilt.

the tilt is much easier being from att and already has a lot of links saved to favorites for your weathe and sports etc. much easier but yeah not unlocked and its att branded which i actually dont mind as much as the cingular cus its just three letters.

cool how the att tilt version even has the HTC lettering on the back. no previous model ppc slide keyboard phone by htc on any crrier did i dont think.

oh and my seidio.com holster for my cing 8525 fits my tilt.
