I don't know what this means...how do I determine the type of user I am and what's the differences?
I want to upgrade as suggested but I don't want any "O2" branding or XDA specific stuff on my phone.
Can I still safely install the above recommendations.
Cheers
Wayne
This may be stupid but waht does the update radio stack/extended rom do for me?!
And will there be any side effectS?
Also, is the update from o2 v1.11.162 better than the link you provided?
Thats an interesting question, I have seen people talk of updated radio versions and whatnot - but I haven't actually heard how they will benefit me or why I should do it.

there's no updates for bad effect. all for good stuff..... the link that i gave you is the update from Pug, he edit the rom for O2 and make it more effective for your device. he's doing for community, not for money. only "Great Job & Thanks" can replace the word stupid from you.
im newbies like you too, thats why i follow the suggestion from the expert. they just giving benefit to you.....

What, you lose stability and control but gain a crayola GUI?
Before I bother 'upgrading' things I need a good reason, and saying its like going from 98 to XP is seriously not going to convince me.

I went from Radio 1 to 1.3 with the O2 Firmware from here on my 2020i and it's working better with GPRS. I noticed that the Radio 1 wouldn't always connect. I used the same setting with 1.3 and it's fine everytime.
(saying that XP is better that 98, is a close call. Now if you had of said 98se then thats a different ball game :lol: )
Hello,
I have an Alpine just bought from ebay, was damaged bought lcd now fixed. I have o2 latest rom.
I would like to put on pointui. It says i need to upgrade to windows mobile 5 then overwrite files with windows mobile 2003.
I know nothing of roms and am unable to locate the simple answers i require.
I assume i only need
WINDOWS MOBILE 5
WINDOWS MOBILE 2003
POINTUI downloaded
Im confused because of all the talk about radio this and camera that patches and fixes. How do i get these files onto the PDA - im assuming its from bootloader or is it active sync.
Please help - id love to fall in love with my little device
Kind Regards
Peter
Help
I have simply downloaded the pointui stuff and installed on the phone. However some elements dont work. I am unabel to find ANY download location for the cab files. Unable to get rid of any of the o2 crap. NO download for pugs stuff works nor is it present int he upload section of the ftp site.
Thanks in advance
Can't help with PointUI but to get rid of the O2 stuff you need to do a hard reset, which will wipe everything and then when you get the message "Customisation in 3 secs" or something like that do a soft reset.
Thanks for your help
Thanks for that help, could you tell me if there is a way to get rid of the 02 boot up screen please. Also does anyone have a copy of pugs stripped roms with improved radio?
I also need the cab files from windows mobile 5
any help is much appreciated
Kind Regards
Peter
FORGET WM5 Files the XDA IIi canot be upgraded to it you will BUGGER your PDA
I did say smart people didnt I
Its just the cab files most are overwritten. NOT WIN MOBILE 5 that doesnt work on this phone. The PointUi interface works perfectly with this phone to make it look like an iphone it requires some elements of shared files associated with wm5 thats all- any other sensible suggestions are welcomed.
Peter
Thinking about it you need the WM5 install for PointUI and then the WM2003 bits to overwrite them. There is nothing WM5 related at OS level. Think I did it at some point in the past.
Link to the PointUI install instructions
Thanks Dee Dee Still Need some help
Does anyone have the stripped PUGS roms. I need a better radio and more stable form. Its missing from the ftp.
Regards
Peter
HTC finally released a ROM upgrade for the Wing. Appears to be just Windows Mobile 6.1, but I'm no expert. Did it fix the Pagepool?
Anyway, here it is:
https://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm52082.htm?&A2L.SERVICE=SystemUpgrade
I run this updated for a couple days and had many problems. I ended up flashing back to the older ROM

may be you should have read more before posting this thread, cause there is already like 3 threads about this. But anyways, the ROM is still 6.0 not 6.1, and it sucks just as much as the orignal. Plus in some cases it can cause serious problems while loading the ROM. In anycase, my reccomendation would just be to flash a custom ROM.
Wing ROM
Sorry! As you see, I am a junior member, so when I didn't see this posted, thought I'd disseminate some useful info. As you are an authority, a few questions: other than the Pagepool fix and unloading a few useless Microsoft programs, is there any benefit to using an homebrew ROM? This assuming you have your Wing tweaked to perfection with the old ROM.
Also, ?is it possible to use Sprite Backup to restore your system to a new ROM? or does each program and tweak need to be separately placed and adjusted.
Thanks,
Paul D.
yep.
newer builds=faster=more awesome
also you don't have to tweak it yourself
Wing ROM
Thanks. Which ROM do you recommend? My Wing has the Battery Status for speed, Pagepool for memory, iFonz for program selection, S2U2 for class, and Inesoft Dialer/Address book for communication with ease. It's a little slow but not annoyingly so.
Again all advice is appreciated.
Paul D.
If you customize your wing a lot it's the best you start with one of the lite version of roms to enable you the most out of your storage space and program memory.
I personally use open touch v4 but there are many good roms. Check the rom review thread in the rom section.
i saw a few post for the 1.56, and i visited the official site and found that there was really a 1.56 hardware upgrade.
did anyone install it and feel it?
can tell the difference?
as the title~~ some screen shot will be great
have a nice one
No difference)))just numbers)))
WiFi conectivity improveents?
For those of us that have intermittent WiFi connectivity issues; has anyone noticed any improvements connecting to hotspots after installing the new ROM?

Not my credits, it was posted earlier by another user. But it's not all about the numbers. Drivers, xip, os as well as packages changed.
I told you)))just different numbers))))

Well, take a look at nk.exe and the other parts in the xip. Run a diff with an hexeditor. Change in offsets. Also the os changed. Run a diff on 1.19 and 1.56. Also the drivers changed. So I guess it's not only the numbers. But show me if I am wrong
OK)))XIP,SYS and OEM all cookers always change it doesn't matter which version is it)))
Only few different drivers...You cannot use it without new SPL or you have to flash through USPL...But again)))numbers)))(size is a numbers,versions are numbers too))))
im still arguing if i should flash to new ROM 1.56. onkolog said no diff. just number changed. and i read the rom_diff, it showed many new version in ROM. so im gonna test the new ROM 1.56 (miri's v7.2 standard without manila) and will report the feel IMO. i hope this new ROM is better
Why)))you not understand one thing)))All cookers change OEM,SYS and XIP to newest always)))In ROM 1.56 old OEM,SYS and XIP...They don't use it...That why no difference between these ROMs...
Miri use OEM,SYS and XIP from Topaz and Rhodium and me too...and where is new ROM 1.56)))it's gone)))
Or if you change few files to newest it means you have new ROM?)))I don't think so...
The original poster was comparing stock roms

Sorry I don't understand. I use the xip's OEMXIPKernel part from 1.56, some new drivers and packages from the 1.56 rom. Indeed not sure if hTC fixed some issues in these components but we will find out. Enlighten me
That what I told...You and other cookers just use few new things from new ROM 1.56, but users think you use all ROM 1.56...They don't understand you correctly...That why I told no difference...only numbers)))
GPS
GPS is indeed faster to find a fix, but something odd I have noticed is that TomTom 7 doesn't say I am connected to any satellites, yet it has found my location and works perfectly fine otherwise...
Opera (Internet Browser)
With the old ROM, opera would always be slow to load up and after quitting the application the phone would screw up somehow, either it becomming sluggish or crashing or getting a 'dont send' error. In this new ROM, it is much faster to load up and quit, however, it is still kind of buggy for me and sometimes crashes. Its still not stable (in my opinion).
Battery Life
Regarding battery life, I haven't seen much of a difference. If anything I would have to say this ROM has got a bit better battery life but nothing much, its negliable.
In General
The new ROM in general is slightly faster, but only by a small amount. Some people wouldn't probably even notice this speed difference because it is so small.
Worth Upgrading?
Depends. If you use GPS a lot then this could be for you. But soon people will probably start cooking with this as the base ROM so you will get these features and more anyway. Also it can be risky upgrading to this ROM, with it being HardSPL incompatible and having its own SPL embedded. If you have the time and patience, then theres no reason why not to upgrade.

Cool, thanks for telling that.
for my experience, TTom works well in my 1.19, so.....
i think i should let my device stay the same way she did
just numbers... well your right evan data is just numbers 1010111001001 but they can they can make a differance. 1.56 has updated os ect which a good **** can easaly better but theees also the updated spl with some firmware w for the new drivers ect now the divers and spl arnt gona b bettered by a cook only incorpirated only a proramer, developer, someone who knows the languages ect could mess with thouse. im hoping olinex will hack the new spl for us soon which whould make it esy to flash 1.56 coocked roms.
as i said new drivers and firmware which includes new drivers and firmware for the graphics. im hoping htc have given us heardware acceleration but time will tell. a better base to start from will always give you a better reault and sone of the guys here work wonders so lets hope and see what happens.
Anybody extracted all the cabs already?
Especially interested in the Manila version and all the AT&T add-ons.
Thx
wait. you actually want the att bloatware?
also, the tf3d stuff is only slightly optimized, if you're running any of the manilas out there that are updated recently, it should perform better.. especially if you actually use wm6.5
Yes, the bloatware incl. Manila to rewrite/update my Fuze setup guide.
I admit that I'm a little bit reluctant to flash my phoen back to the latest ATT since I kinda depend on it for the next two weeks and cannot run the risk to wreck it at this time.
i c... I can provide you the set up file, but I have no knowledge of how to extract it. If you are interested, send me a PM and i'll see if i can upload the link for you.
EDIT: the official update is actually really good. especially the radio. my gps fix is very very fast, and my battery life is great.. even with push..
I can download the EXE from HTC/AT&T myself but would need to install to copy all cab files under the Windows directory.
If anybody has all the cabs which reside after an install (better a de-böoated install) would be great.
The success with the GPS and good lock is simply related to the Radio bundled with the new ROM which is/was available at XDA for some time. Sure, for a branded ROM it was finally time to fix these issues.
yeah, i did mention that the radio was why the gps is so much better. I'm just a sucker for going around flashing new radios... It got to be so much of a hassle keeping track of them that I gave up..
anyways, sorry I can't help you there in terms of the cabs since I'm very uncomfortable with doing stuff like that since I'm paranoid about my phone numbers and notes tagging along..
but I can say with confidence that the new update is really good and you should not be worried about flashing the new rom at all. The only thing is that I see you are using energyrom so i understand that you don't want to flash back and forth.
Can you take a look in your Windows dir and name me the CAB files there?
Most common none is deleted after install so that list could be helpful already.
NRG ROM ... well ... it ROCKS.
I'm not such a fan of 6.5 yet thus running the older NRG 2.0 without ANY problems.
sure! that I CAN do.. here's the list (btw, my rom is unbloated so i might have all of the cabs..)

that's about all I see.. I might have some typos in the numbers but hopefully they should be all correct. Good luck and if you need anything else, just holler.
Cool mate! ... and this is from the latest AT&T ROM upgrade?
Would you mind to copy all the cabs to your PC and zip them in one humongous file? Check PM
i can do that provided that it isn't locked in by the OS. I'll do it later when I come back.
Thanks, check your PM (Private Messages).
Sorry to interrupt, but here you go:

Manila is not installed from CAB, so I created a CAB for it.
Thanks NATF.
Just one Q, what does then the PT_MANILA.CAB do?
Chefs like you never disturb!

Actually, you don't need that CAB. It is installed during Initial Configuration, and it adds the registry entries that start TF3D on boot. However, I added the required entries to my TF3D CAB.
Hey NATF....what happened to the OzIM cab? I was curious about this thread because I wanted to know if there were a new version of the cab for the instant messaging package as well....or did you just leave it out because the version didn't change in the new ROM perhaps?
