I'v been searching and reading FAQ's, but can't find an explanation on what AKU stands for and what's special about 2.3 everyone seems to want to have it.
It's basically the same idea as SP2 for XP (after you've upgraded from WM2003SE [WinME] to WM5 [XP]), it's like a service pack, and this new one includes things like MSFP which enables Push Email and is overall a smoother base ROM for us to start with... the newer HTC models like the Universal and Wizard and(O2 Atom?) have versions available for download but we lowly BA owners won't get an offical one hence all the ruckus about the one we've got available...
thanks, that's a clear answer. I'm now running tuma's 1.3, waiting for 1.5 after his peanut is born.
any suggestions if i should try another aku2.3 rom inbetween?
i'm an active business user with wifi, bt, gps, 5 emailboxes, including exchange with certificates, using mms and a lot of sms and phone and IE.
and navigating with tomtom, ozi and igo.
and listening to internet radio, sometimes looking at the news and sportevents via streaming video.
and the little one likes my qtec9090 as a dvd-player in the car, while tomtom is telling me how to drive in the background.
and offcource using word, excel and pdf to read mail attachment.
and all the special data safely stored away in ewallet.
so it's my mobile office
I too use mine extensively (and as I'm in the IT business I need to reflash at night after playing with all the new ROM's to make sure it's working for the next day ) and have been using Ivan's 4.3 Rom with the RAMDisk provided by thingonaspring... it has been very stable and very fast (for WM5), I'm now using helmi's 32MB Ramdisk AKU 2.3 ROM and it seems equally as stable and also as fast...
One caveat with the AKU 2.3 ROMs is that we are still in the 'beta' stage even though they are stable.. and with that in mind there's no guarantee...
Having said that, the WiFi, BT and messaging all work so you should have no problems there, and if your work uses Exchange 2003 SP2 then you can have your email from work 'pushed' to your BA! (At least one tester is already using this and has it working...)
I use it with 4 email accounts, bt headset (unfortunately just handsfree, not wireless stereo atm), gps (TomTom, GPStoGoogleEarth,SmartMap & Navigator II), tcpmp and all the office apps... PocketMSN isn't working yet, but I don't use hotmail for much other than spam anyway... mms works, as does sms and phone... I also use ewallet etc, so our needs are very similar...
In the end, the choice is yours
and if you now tell me that you sometimes use citrix as well and work for a multinational IT-company than i'm sure a got a twinbrother or sister.
anyway, i got the aka2.3 rom from helmi installed. works perfect on connectivity and speed.
now some time to spend to get it personalized..
thanks a lot
well actually... :twisted:
nah don't use citrix, but as for the IT co... more global than multinational
glad to be of some assistance
(just need to get the ptb to allow push email from work now!)
IMAP account
Just curious, did u guys loose the IMAP account after changing the battery? I am not using pop3 on my O2, but the IMAP will disappear every time. Applies to Tuma 1.4 and Helmi 1 Beta. Any cure except resetting the machine during boot screen when the word "R None" appears?
BTW, cannot get the Helmi 1 ROM running Active Sync in "PUSH" mode, manually connection is OK though.
Hi, ALL
I have G3 T-Mobile MDA (Wizard), running Wm5 custom ROM from Xelencin and latest Radio ROM.
Also I have installed
SPB Diary, Pocket Plus, Weather, Imageer, Backup
Resco File Explorer
PhotoDialer Plug-in
WM5Storage
MemMaid
Some RSS Reader
iGuidance
MS VoiceCommand 1.5
IMPlus, Skype
Yahoo 2 Go, Google Maps, Live Search
TCPMP
etc
most of these on 2GB miniSD. Everything works. I use most of that from time to time.
I saw faria WM6 ROM. I saw MB Rom, I saw Mun's Rom. My question is - do I need to upgrade to WM6 ? Will it add something, which probably I'm missing ?
Or it is just to have latest Windows Mobile OS ?
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?
Also if moderators think this question belongs to Wizard Mobile 6 forum, can you please move it

Do you need to upgrade? Probably not. I will say that most (not all) of the custom roms will give you more space and will run faster than the stock official roms.
Will add something, which you are probably missing? The quick answer is yes. You are missing the frustration that some of us go through with these . Seriously though, its hard to answer it, but for me I find the custom roms more stable than my original Cingular 2.25, faster, gives me more room on the phone itself, and just more fun to play with (but then I'm a geek).
I can't honestly say why the draw to WM6 other than the geek factor involved and the ability to show friends and coworkers that you are running WM6 (and they don't care anyone or don't even know what you are babbling on about).
I would suggest you at least give Faria's or Molksi's 2.3 and 3.3 ROMs a try even if you aren't interested in WM6. They are VERY nice and stable. But also, understand that you will have to fiddle and tweak with your phone for a day or two to get it back to where you want it.
Second big question - will my apps work with WM6 ?

I've used Spb Backup, Resco Explorer, WM5torage, Memmaid, MS VoiceCommand 1.6 all on Faria's AKU 3.3, WM6 MBE, and Faria's WM6 "the real thing" and they all work.
I'll defer to others on the rest of your list.
I know you didn't list it but, as you are using other spb products,
spb time doesn't fully work
How did you get Yahoo go 2?
double post
I received email with Yahoo go 2 and there was a link. Just went there and install. Dont remember exactly, but something like that
It's only available for smartphones... You don't happen to have a link/file handy? :d
Yahoo Go 2 for smartphones and pocket pc phones:
This is where I got mines from, they had it as an option when it first came out but now it is hidden and they want your phone information to send it to you.
This link will get you the cab. file and the active sync download.

That link is Yahoo Go 1, which I am running right now.

YES!!!!
One of the first cooked ROM's for 750!! This is a good thing for all.
Downloading now.
No Office Mobile
Currious thing happened when I flashed, (SD Method), I have seem to have lost Office. Can't find it anywhere. Any guesses?
Searched again and under the windows folder, there are some blank office files like OneNoteMobile, pword, and pxl. All these I can use, so it seems that the icons for word are missing in the programs folder, but the program itself IS installed. I wonder if the SD flashing method has something to do with it. Will reflash and see.
I too have lost Office programs. I also cant find a battery indicator without going to the power function.
Other than that, this ROM is fast! I will let you know about the stability in a couple of days. But its working great. Thanks
for some reason I have the gay volume icon on my top bar and it keeps on showing my volume as all the way down and I can't hear when people call me
g8..custom rom!!! looking forward to use it but it seems little buggy..anyway u can transport the bluetooth files from wm5 to this custom rom?? my tomtom6 works well with wm5 only
I'm sorry
It's my mistake. I'll fix it quickly.
Thx.

thuggin, onthezone:
I deleted Palm's BatteryIndicator. It cause a trouble with some key customizer. There are many software to display battery information more accurate.
chakli:
I ported System Files from double_ofour's Wizard ROM Kitchen. Unfortunatelly, I do'nt have TOMTOM.
BTW, I can give other features,
Delete PorkPie service(Auto Configulation for connection settings)
Delete Messaging(Pocket Outlook handles SMS only)
Delete WiredCarKit
Delete VoiceCommand
Does anyone need UltraLite Edition?
P.S.:I've fixed Office Issue, now. And I'll post it later
well I don't care about the battery icon being gone because I use pocket plus 4, but is there anyway you can get rid of the volume icon on top because everytime I touc it, it will mute my phone.
I'm using PocketPlus4, too. The smart scrolling feature is FAST FAST FAST! Amazing! I have Kaiser, but I like it than HTC touch feature. I'm going to cook Kaiser ROM to kill touch driver for PocketPlus4's smart scrolling

I want to use the new cooked rom
I stopped using my treo cause it was to slow... hopfully this will get me to use it again...
is there anyway to get it without using rapidshare... I have got that site to work
thanks
I think that Palm hasn't copmplete optimizing OEM package for WM6 yet, because of the OEM packages version 5.1.xx.xx.
It is difficult that all the Palm's features are suited to new AKUs.
To delete Palm's PhoneLookUp, your IM program may work.

Hi, it would be useful if you show us the package tree ^^ ,because i like your rom, but i want it in spanish, then i could make my own spanish lite rom. BTW, do you know how to get rid of all palm phone utility and have the windows default one?
feedback
First of all thx chaimd for your effort and time:
I had some sparetime tonight to flash and test your customrom.
I only flashed your OS and left the orginal (latest) ROW radio, at first all seems okay but I then when driving around I noticed that my navigation software (TomTom 6) was acting weird. Mainly strange (not complete) screen updates, loss of connection to BT GPS and missing parts on the screen. As this is a crucial function on my treo, I did no further testing and flashed back the ROW OS. After this TomTom 6 is functioning normal again.
Guess I will wait a while, till these little speedbumps are history.
Again, thx for your time
Kind regards
marl
I was wondering if you could take a look at an issue for me...
I use a car kit via Bluetooth (Parrot CK3100), and the phonebook doesn't automatically sync from the phone to the car kit correctly. Instead of syncing the phone book, it only syncs contacts from the Speed Dial plugin. Even if I have Speed Dial turned off from the Today Items.
It's obvious that the phone has a working Sim Access Profile (rSAP), since it uploads the carrier name, battery level, and signal level to the kit; it's just pulling phone book entries from the wrong location.
I have no idea even where to point you to, since I have no idea how the inner workings of Windows Mobile mesh together...
Here's to hoping you can come up with something, it would be totally awesome!

I have tried this version, I am not so happy with it. I find it rather slow and the zooming in zooming out feels tedious. I may be spoiled because I am also using an iPod Touch with the Safari Mobile browser but are there any previous builds of the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser that have faster performance than this?
I am working on a Samsung i780 so I have a lot of power behind the phone, I just don't find this version jaw-dropping.
Okay this looks great. Just tested it on the Diamond and it's fast, seems stable and fixes the "black whole problem" at least on the sites I had problems with.
One drawback: it doesn't seem to support the g-sensor out of the box. however we might be able to work around that with gsen... didn't try that though.
I guess this is a real candidate for some cooked ROMs...
Edit: This thing is REALLY fast. We might probably want to work on how to replace the original opera on a diamond with this version?
Cheers,
Alex
Will installing this overwrite the default Opera diamond browser?
You can install it on the internal storage - so your pre-installed opera should be left untouched. As for the default browser setting - I didn't check that. But you should be able to switch back if desired as well.
Okay from some testing I can report the following issues:
Does not use old Opera's bookmarks, so when overwriting old opera there's no way to sync bookmarks with Manila (some tiny application might be written to do the job however I guess)
Occasionly prevents device standby (even when manually pressing the standby button) - getting out of opera helps
At least in my setup it keeps starting itself when exited - that might however be a result of me playing around to replace original opera with new one
The most noticable bug from opera's official known-issues list is the non-working re-flow of text paragraphs. instead the paragraphs are _always_ sized to fit the zoomed-in screen
Auto-rotation is not implemented out of the box - I didn't test, yet if GSen would do the trick (for some of us disabled auto-rotation might actually be a plus ;-)
Some of these issues obviously have to be fixed for a final - but I assume they will do so until the final release.
On the bright side we have:
Definitely faster
Looks like it has lower memory consumption (not measured though) - this actually makes the auto-restart thing I experience acceptable for me - I simply keep it running in the background at the moment
The black-hole problem seems to be fixed
Once the issues have been worked out this will be a huge step forward in mobile browsing on the diamond - even compared to the current version of opera mobile!
If anyone else is testing this software I'd be happy to hear some feedback and maybe solutions found to the issues I mentioned.
Cheers,
Alex
Does it also support Flash based websites? (containing flash video's?)
i also tried to install it both on the device & internal storage, but it just won't start the new version... even when i start the program from the program list it will start the old version...
i guess the beta version wanted to prevent the resizing of the paragraph while zooming in some text pages, but i do like it coz the zooming in & out is now more precise...
anyone have any idea how to replace the old opera with this new beta...
also another problem encountered is the pop up of the input keyboard... it will automatically switch to the default windows style even if i set it to full qwerty keyboard...
i hope htc will implement it soon or opera could release the final version soon, this browser is the best so far~
Here is the Thread containing the latest Opera build, was released yesterday I think. Anyway, its miles better than this beta, go check it out!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
not impressed, seems much slower than what im currently using
find it in the file manager to launch it.
I find it has a keyboard issue... it keeps reverting back to small qwerty.
I uninstalled it and now my original opera takes longer to load up. (now those progress blocks have appeared?)

Have to agree, build 1938 is *way* better than this one, it's a lot faster and far more stable. At least on a Samsung i780 which is what I used to test it.
I also tried it on an iMate Jasjar but the build had problems working with the qwerty keyboard -- when you try to type it will take in one character then close the SIP, so you can no longer enter any letters. Horrible bug, did not have this problem with any other build I tried so far. But it works fine, only problem is I have to use the SIP, and the point of getting a Universal is to have the QWERTY!
Hi guys,
My dad's handed me his Vario III / (Kaiser 120) to use.
I did a reset using the option in 'SETTINGS' to reset it and lose all date. Now, when I start it up, it looks like new and the time/date has to be set. All my dad's contacts have gone. Cool. - 1. Was this a Hard-Reset ?
I went to something like SETTINGS > INFO and got this:
Radio Vers 1.70.18.02
ROM DATE 9/01/08
ROM Vers. 3.31.110.3 WWE
Build 19212.1.03
When I start it up, it says Windows Mobile v6.1
A couple years ago, I loaded tomtom navigator on it for my dad. It was really good with the internal gps.
Anyway, now that I have the phone, I'd like to install tomtom navigator on it, use the camera (maybe 10 photos a week) and upload pics to my PC, and browse the internet (email, twitter etc.) from time to time. Also, I'd use the handset to connect via bluetooth to my laptop so I can use it for internet (in emergencies, as it is kinda slow). I also text (3-5 texts a day)
I also downloaded an app called Shazam.cab from a site called mobilism, which I would love to use as I have seen it on my lucky friend's iPhone and the app is awesome!
2. Apart from the usb cable, and active sync on my pc, do i need anything else to install shazam on my phone/micro sd card?
3. I assume a ROM means operating system? Like windows xp, 7 etc.
I see that people are putting new ROMs on their phone. My phone has
Storage Free Space: 121MB and Programs Free 55MB. There isn't a lot of 'bloatware' hogging up resources on there, as far as i can see.
4. Do I need to install a custom ROM now that you know my uses (in blue font above) for the phone? / do I need to flash it? I.e. will a new ROM/flash make my life a lot easier? Better to convert to android system? Will I need to do any of these things to install shazam?
I was goin to do this on the weekend so I can use other sims in my phone:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
fingers crossed it goes ok.
Can you please help?
Thank you
Sonny
ps. I may need to ask a couple more questions after this. Once again thank you for your help. If anyone needs advice on cameras, please let me know as I am a regular contributor to a photography forum.
1. Yes, it was HARD-Reset (removes all settings, contacts, messages, ...). It doesn't do anything to the MicroSD card.
2. I don't know anything about that. Sorry!
3. Yes, ROM means operating system. There are stock ROMs and modified ROMs. For Kaiser (a.k.a. HTC TyTN II) you'll find only stock Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and lots of modified WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 ROMs. There's no stock WM 6.5 ROM for Kaiser.
4. Android is not stable enough. Sometimes it crashes, doesn't wake up and so on... All your mentioned things can be done with both WM 6.1 and 6.5, so it's for you to decide what to use. WM 6.1 looks a little bit old and terrible, but it uses less resources than WM 6.5 which looks a little bit... like system that was made to be similar to iPhone OS. Yes, WM 6.5 is more finger-friendly, but the applications grid drives me crazy, it uses more resources (and loves draining the battery)
Thank you very much for taking the time to post. I found it really useful.
I stuck with original HTC ROM with 6.1 and I am loving it. Shazam works wonderfully well. The phone is so damn sharp. And, using 2 apps at once is brilliant.
Does anyone know if I can put more icons/apps on the TODAY SCREEN?
At the moment, I am only allowed to put 6 in the start menu screen, and 1 (tom tom) on the today screen.
My Start menu has: 1 File explorer, 2 organiser (i use the calculator a lot), 3 internet explorer, 4 MS word (for my notes), 5 shazam (use a lot), 6 Resco photo manager (for uploading to FlickR)
I'd like to add 2 more apps (wunder radio + core player) somewhere with quick access.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Try copying applications links (.lnk files) from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ to \Windows\Start Menu\
I'm not sure if it's going to work with Windows Mobile 6.1, but it's safe to try
