then
K-JAM_Italian_1030902_102_ship.exe (used 7 days)

RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe (used 3 days)
then
Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe (using from 2 days)
Results
O2 XDA (last one, currently used) absolutely the fastest (but remember to disable O2active application)

italos can you confirm if the O2 ROM has WWE layout for the keyboard [QWERTY] also can you confirm if Cybereon Voice Commander can stream sound to headset? I am using a dopod ROM and the VC app is different from the T-mobile or Qtek OS. With the dopod ROM I can stream audio [mono only with my headset] with the T-Mobile ROM/Qtek OS I cannot do this. Thanks in advance.

I can answer the first question,- O2 rom has another symbol layout, but you can use aekmap to remap the keys:

XDA IIs ROM upgrade - June 2005 (english version)

hi guys,
i'm not sure if anyone has posted this but here I go...
has anyone tried using the XDA IIS rom upgrade of June 2005 posted at O2 website? I'm about to try it but I'm afraid to do it since there might be bugs on it.
would like to ask you guys if it's ok to upgrade to this ROM. Currently, my ROM is 1.12.62 WWE. As much as possible, I'm settling for O2 official releases but I just wanna make sure if this one's ok.
cheers!
Currently i'm using the latest update o2 Asia and so far it works really good except a little problem that i found with the camera that makes the brightness set to maximum. And also the HTC caller ID problem [ringtone and picture display doesn't work].
Overall, it runs smoothly.
I hope this helps.
does this mean that currently you don't have caller ID display and ringtone on your IIs?
cheers!
sometimes it's on and sometimes it's off, when it's off i rerun the caller id from the startup directory, or you can install 3rd party software like photo contacts.
Is this ROM ok to load onto a UK XDA IIs? Has anyone done this?
IIs user from Philippines
I flashed my IIs with the new official ROM.
I find it more stable than the old ROM plus other new features like WMPver.10. Well worth the upgrade. I could view videos of websites (eg.INQ7) which under the OLD ROM I cannot.
After the ROM and Radio Update, I uninstalled the O2Plus. I didnt noticed any increase in stability or speed after unistalling it though.
I also updated the Radio ROM to Ver.1.13 which I got from WIKI.xda-developers.com.
BTW, I got my IIs from Globe. I still retain the GPRS setting plus gain a new GPRS setting for my SUN SIM. ALSO, I use a DUAL SIM Adaptor which I bought from 3rd Glorietta Cell Stall. There is also GPRS Setting for SMART just in case you got yours from there.
You could also install the O2 II Plus, GPRS Counter and ZIP Manager from official O2 site. I dont use it as it slows down the IIs. I tried yesterday DKToday2.8 but it slows down a bit the IIs.
Only the following softwares are now installed (IIs is very stable and quick):
PshutXP
CorePlayer
Agile Mobile
Avantgo
ChessPPC
Skype
WordNet (dictionary)
In the Green Theme
Cai, Go ahead you will not go wrong. PM if you need help.
OVERALL, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE UPDATE.
thanks xcalibur! this is great news. I've really needed people's idea on the new rom of O2 before installing it, especially philippine users. I got mine from globe too...i'll try this then....
cheers!
O2 June 2005 version
I loaded the latest O2 Asia version recently. I was, too, apprehensive about bugs and the like. However, I haven't found anything but improvement in my XDA IIs performance up to now. I would recommend it.
I've been using the new O2 ROM since its release and I think it's garbage.
Slightly more rleiable than the previous version but my phone still requires resetting 3 times a day due to hang ups, freezing, crashing when trying to switch to landscape and so on.
If you intend to upgrade the radio to 1.13 then, use asia apparently i have done some testing. Tried o2uk,imate,qtek and once u upgrade the 1.13 for their rom, it causes the device to lag terribly. I would suggest you to do the upgrade to the ASIA version if you are intending to upgrade to 1.13 radio
else, i think any of the rest should be ok..
ASIA 1.40.923 WWE
I concur. The Asia WWE with the 1.13 is working well for me. Still have some problems with bluetooth out of memory and not being able to access BT manager, but over all the best combo I have used. Battery life seems much improved and switching between GPRS and Wi-Fi works very well on this ROM combo. Using in conjunction with phone Alarm (1.13] and AlarmToday. Auto profile switching and wake to music, all working well..
june update ???
am i being a bit thick ???
the only version i can see for download on the O2 uk site is the february update. Can someone supply a link straight to the download ???
swerver
That's the latest official one from O2 UK, but most of the other providers have already released their 1.40 versions, which are all available on the wiki site: www.wiki.xda-developers.com
Regards
Chris
June Update ???
At the top of this thread it says that the O2 site has the june update, he didnt mention WIKI site ????
Just tried the link you gave and it gave an error ???
swerver
I believe that the first poster is probably taling about the O2 Asia ROM that is on the O2 Asia site. As far as I know, O2 UK have not released their new 1.40 version yet.
The link I posted should have taken you to the companion site to this one, where all the various ROMs and upgrade tools are posted. Are you familiar with the wiki site¿ There is a direct link to it in the header of this thread I believe. Let me know if you have problems finding it.
Regards
Chris
hi guys,
i've seen the ROM upgrade from O2 asia site. It's found in www.seeo2.com.
regards!
Asian Rom upgrade 1.40 for Xda IIs
I really must be thick, but I cannot find the actual file to download. I am registered at seeo2.com, get to the instructions page on how to install it but somehow miss the actual link to install it! Can anyone help me with the actual download link or another site to download the file
Thanks Guys
Hi Smithy
There is a link at the top of this page to, www.wiki.xda-developers.com
Navigate there and follow the links to Blue Angel. All the shipped ROMS are posted on that site, plus the 1.13 radio, which I do not think is part of the original O2Asia ROM. I believe it only had 1.12
The site also has comprehensibe instructions on how to upgrade. Let us know if you get stuck.

I've recently upgraded my XDA IIs' ROM to the June 2005 version (1.40 something). The note on the O2 website indicates that we can set mp3 ringtones already. Here are my findings:
1) Under Phone in Settings/Personal, it still doesn't have the option of setting mp3s as ringtone, it seems to be looking for .wav files only.
2) The Photo Contacts that came with the phone has the option of choosing mp3s, it can even preview the file, but whenever I try dialling my phone using my friend's, it goes back to default, not just the default I have setup in Settings/Personal/Phone, it uses the Windows Default tone. How come? Can anyone shed some light on this one?
3) Are there any battle tested programs/apps out there which can activate the mp3 ringtones feature the new ROM promised, and that works with XDA IIs? Help! :?
Hi Yaozer
I have not seen where you can set a MP3 as a ringtone... The only files mine sees are .wav, wma and midi. I use phoneAlarm by PocketMax (www.pocketmax.net), which does allow you to set a wake up alarm that activates a MP3 file. The file has to be in main storage I believe. Activating one a a ringtone may be in a forthcoming version.

Dialer & Comm manager

Dearest TyTn fans, hi there!!
I've recently (one day ago) upgraded my loved Tytn to a Tytn II (Vodafone), I can't be happier , though, I have some mods in mind which I used to have on my Tytn and I'm not being able to find for my new Kaiser.
I was using the dialer and the comm manager created by Schap. Could anyone tell me where can I find them for the Kaiser (if this allready exist, obviously).
I would be very gratefull!!!.
Thanx in advance!!!
I'm not sure about Schap's Dialer. Maybe you can ask him?
But "schaps's button 6 comm Manager" CAB can be found here (In the 4Shared download's bit at the bottom).
http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/cms/index.php
Edit: Looking at the Latest WM6 and 6.1 Roms by Schaps, there is a standard dialer (maybe a Touch Dual on in the WM6 version) in his ROMS

WM 6.1 (HTC Official ROM) and VOIP .. anyone got it working

I'm trying to get VOIP working on the new HTC 6.1 rom
Having checked it does not have "Internet Calling" options, so I tried the WM6VOIP cab, this broke the phone dialing
Has anyone got VOIP working on HTC's 6.1 rom?
I know there are options like AGEphone, but this does not work for me.
A quick google of this forum shows the VOIP thread over 125 pages, which is a bit too much to read

But does it use the Rear speaker or the Earpiece?
I have VoIP working in my custom WM6.1 ROM (5.2.19212) using the latest VoIP files I could find (dated April & June 2007 - if anyone knows of any newer files I would be happy to test them?). Unfortunately the audio is routed to the rear speaker like it was with my HTC Wizard. It does work though. It would be nice if the audio was routed to the phone earpiece, however I have not heard of any Kaiser ROM that fixes this? I expect this is something HTC would have to provide - an updated hardware driver I expect?
Andy
When I tried to put the VOIP cab files on my standard HTC 6.1 rom, it broke the phone for normal dialing (I kept getting program errrors)

I have never had this and I have re-flashed quite a few times in my attempt to get my ROM exactly as I want it (almost there....).
The files I have included in the ROM are:
dnsapi.dll 5,968 bytes 23 April 2007
voipphonecanvas.dll 134,992 bytes 23 April 2007
rtcdll.dll 1,686,352 bytes 19 June 2007
To get my Kaiser to its current state this is what I did:
Installed a HardSPL1.x
Security unlock with the Radio ROM trick
Installed the HTC Official WM6.1 WWE ROM which installed the newer Radio
Installed HardSPL 3.56
Finally I dumped the Official ROM and re-cooked with my preferred apps & settings - one of these being VoIP.

What are the version numbers?
I was on the site on minute before: 1.93 German, the new one !! but, to bad, all the 3 links are dead at the moment. Does anybody can host the file on rapidshare, please ?
From the URL, 1.93 just appeared on the French website, but there seems to be a problem with the website : trying to download ends in 404 Error.
Would ask the same like sky-base at this moment.
Would be a new V1.93 German ROM:
RUU_Diamond_HTC_GER_1.93.407.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe
But as said, all the links don't work. Tooooo bad!

Hi all.
Here is the updates on the new rom from Htc..
1. Enable GSM 850 band.
2. Fixed sometimes no signal issue.
3. Fixed no action while touching navigator control in camera mode.
4. Fixed some files in internal storage which cannot be listed.
5. Fixed SMS sound alert notification delayed issue.
6. Improved audio quality after audio booster is enabled.
7. Improved TouchFLO 3D tab switching and movement speed.
8. Improved home page loading speed.
9. Turned off the 5-second auto screen off function when screen is turned back on by pressing power key during a voice call. Screen off timeout will follow system power setting.
10. Added random access bar to the right hand edge of the screen for selection of weather countries and cities.

They are doing something because the old italian 1.37 ROM is still present but not downloadable any more.
I presume we'll have to wait a few minutes/hours.
the problem ist the date

Yes,you are wrong,wm 6.5 support S730 witch Rom is 256Mb(not Ram).if Rom is 128MB,Pls don`t upgrade it.
I'm the author of this 6.5 ROM.
hi ccwav
i am a fan of your roms from ioicn (i cannot understand chinese anyway)
nice to see you here
Welcome!
I was surfing ioicn.com.cn and I saw there some posts about WM 6.5 for S730 but I can't speak Chinese and all I could do was register and then search the posts. But I couldn't understand if there was any English ROM. Anyone able to help?
the rom build by ccwav is chinese and english, but it is incomplete (file explorer, bt and many other features are still in chinese) anyway it is a nice and cool rom.
I downloaded this ROM that nhatientri mentioned, cooked it without making any modifications and it installed flawlessly. It is in English totally but no Bluetooth at all, this is the first thing I spotted. Let me check if there are other bugs.
BTW, anyway to get the bluetooth back?

Well, I speak Italian, Greek, English, Albanian and some Turkish and French. If you know any of the following languages, I am ready to help you bring it in English.
As for my yesterday's test on HTC S730 with the 6.5 ROM, I decided to go back to 6.1 until next convincing ROM.

i saw it this morning... and now i'm going to test it
but
i'll be very happy if you could cook a rom with 256MB ROM size and without AGPS/GPS features (the western wings haven't gps but have more rom size)
anyway thank you for the up, i'm running to try it
Dear friends, I downloaded the ROM from the link here http://www.ioicn.com.cn/forum/viewthread.php?tid=358850&extra=&page=1 and don't ask me how I registered, I don't know Chinese and I worked a lot with google translation. The forum couldn't log you in through google translator. Anyhow, long story short, I downloaded the chinese 6.5 ROM and I am amazed. The home screen is fantastic and i could change the language from Chinese to English through the settings. There are still programs and items in Chinese but it's not a big deal. You can find the english versions of the programs on line.
I am going to play with that a little bit now. I'll write later if I find any bug or whatever.
are you able to dump/edit/modify/repack that rom? maybe removing agps ? i have tried several times but i am a dumb ^^
Nope, I'm sorry. I don't know how to do it. I renamed every Chinese filename in English and downloaded the English versions of some of the programs.
Until now, from what I see I can say the following:
1. Bluetooth Manager is in Chinese, I'll try to push some English version from my other HTC Vox WM 6.5 if possible.
2. Internet Explorer is for touch screen models I guess. Very difficult for me to operate it like this. I think I will try Opera or whatever for a change.
3. There is File Explorer in English but somehow, the cooker decided to put the shortuct of Resco Explorer only in the menu, which is in Chinese by the way.
4. GPS seems to work but I can't get more than 1 satellite everywhere I try.
5. Quick GPS tries to download data but nothing downloads even on WiFi or over ActiveSync.
6. Homescreen of T-Mobile looks very cool, I like it a lot
7. A lot of tweaks in Chinese, hieroglyphs to me
I will see if I spot anything else. Nevertheless, the ROM is OK, I didn't regret the update (yet).
allright, nevermind...
i have solved some issues (in an arranged way)
2 if you use JZSmartMort you can set (in the browser options) the "OLD VERSION" of IE , it's work but is still slow imo
3 install your own resco explorer or make a new link to the "original file explorer" than replace with the older one (chinese resco)
4-5 i think that one satellite is few for connect to a AGPS so agps/gps feature is useless (if don't have the gps version of wings) (can't try with an external receiver, for now, at my home there are no signal at all)
6-7 the last foledr in start menu conteins some extra tweak, like different layout for menu (glossy bars and selections, the third is PINK!), a selector for different tshres.dll (icons in the iconbar, my favotite is #8), a selector between the 6.1 and 6.5 home layout (maybe with delicacy homescreen) and a selector for the dialer pad (first, grey htc, second blue...)
how much RAM free you get at the boot? and after some while?
br
Also, I can't find Java. It looks it is not integrated or smth. I don't use it anyways, just wanted to try Opera Mini....
Well, I have it loaded up with programs so I don't know if the readings are accurate. Anyways, where do I check the free RAM?
