on average how long does it take to install??
Very quick. Five/ten minutes at the most, with the Windows installation app it's really as easy as pie. Stick the phone in the cradle, Run the installation app, it does all the other stuff (it puts your phone into bootloader, flashes each part of the ROM, and then reboots the phone once it's done).
How hard is that! (You say, 'oh, not hard at all,' to which I reply, 'I KNOW!') Understand that it's not some kind of funky custom install, the installation app was one provided for a particular model of HTC by Qtek (I believe), and it was hacked to not look for a particular device ID (allowing use on every phone), and the ROM is just the regular O2 ROM, O2 customised ExtROM and all, just with the upgraded radio stack (unless of course, you download his latest ROMs with the O2 stuff stripped out, which is also possible). The tool will work with any of these roms, all you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions. Even I could manage it first time round no problems.
My XDAIIi is:
Rom version: 1.11.00WWE
Rom Date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtRom: 1.11.923WWE
If upgrade with pug rom, what difference I will notice from my xdaIIi?
any benefits? where I can download the pug rom?
Thanks I am new to this forum
Well, as you can see from my sig, which is pug's cooked ROM:
Alpine, 1.11.162, 1.04 Radio...
ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.04.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.162 WWE
That's what you'll get - compare it to what you have at the moment, and you'll see the updates.
The difference in Radio ROM version seems to be just simple upgrades to the sound quality and signal etc. As for the ExtROM, that will depend on which one you choose... some may have just programs/plugins removed (the O2ActiveUI for example) others may have extra program suites added.
If you do upgrade the rom to one of the several cooked ones available on here, go with Pug's ROM which contains the 1.04 radio, the O2 stuff stripped out and the camera 'update' not included - apparently, without the camera update, the picture quality is loads better. I can't be bothered to reflash my 2i all over again and reinstall all my bits and pieces, just to try this out though, but other users report better quality without the O2 'upgrade'.
The O2 stuff is also useless, so get the O2StuffStripped at the very least. The 1.04 radio made a big difference for me (marginal signal before, I had to stand on one leg and put my arm out the window whilst wearing a tinfoil hat to get signal before in my house, but now so long as I'm on the first floor I can get signal! which is a tenfold improvement from before).
I did miss the O2 battery plugin for the Today screen, but I managed to find a seperate install for it on these forums anyway!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26995
That much is true - initially I did too; however, I found that the O2 Plus battery meter is much better (and shows more information in the same pixel space), so I'm happy with that for now.
Whats the difference between the 2 and where would I get the Plus one from? Any chance you could post some screenshots showing the difference?
Would really appreciate it!!!
G
O2 Plus battery meter comes part of the O2 Plus application which you can install onto your Alpine (you have to get the patched version which will install on any device as opposed to the device-locked original installer which O2 Asia release for its customers) - just look on the forums for it.
How do you rate the pictures taken by a standart Alpine and by an Alpine using the modified ROM of pug (from 1 to 10, where 10 is the best and say it is a picture taken by a high quality digital camera working at 1.3 Mega pixel)?
If you can reply for indoor and outdoor seperately it will be more helpful.
Cheers.
The first custom rom for the Alpine released onto the forum, and the one I'm using (Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar) includes the 'update' which actually makes the camera quality worse. However, once it's on you can't just uninstall it, I found out I'd have to basically hard reset and install the latest ROM which doesn't have the stupid update included.
The ROM you want to use is Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar - I can't provide you with a quality comparison because I've not used that one (yet), but from what I hear from people who have used it, the quality is much better - much closer to how you'd expect it to be from an (albeit mobile phone, but still) 1.3mpixel camera.
Thank you for the detailed answer.
With all respect, can Pug verify this? Previously it was explained that the only difference between the 2 ROM was one still has O2 stuff in it, the other stripped.
Shouldnt be any difference in camera.
The camera_fixed aspect refers to the removal of a software patch applied to one of the DLLs on the phone used for the camera software - the changes the 'update' makes to the DLL in question actually makes the quality of subsequent images taken MUCH worse. Not installing this patch restores the camera quality to its original (and better) state.
I haven't tried it out myself, this ROM came out just after I'd hard reset and then totally restored my XDA from scratch, and I couldn't be bothered to start over a third time, but from people who have used the camera_fixed ROM, they report that the camera quality is in fact improved.
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar by Pug did improve the camera quality, but this only setback was it would downgrade the recording sound quality.
and it didn't strip the O2 stuff imo, still got the o2 logo at start and the GUI thing.
The O2 splash screen can be removed by means of dropping a correctly-formatted image into the root directory of your phone and running a CAB file on your device (again, obtained from this forum) - and bingo, new splash screen.
Because the original image is in the ROM, and nowhere else, I also stripped out the original O2 splash screen from a ROM and posted it on this forum, in case anyone ever wants to sell their device and wipe it clean of all their installed stuff, without having to flash the ROM).
Interesting that you say the O2 GUI stuff is still there... Did you try the corporate install method?
Pug's ROM
I've been reading about pug's ROMs and have found (in the forum) some missing features after installing said ROMs...
These are the band selsctor, and screen rotation icon...
has anybody found out how to restore these?
I haven't tried the ROMs yet because I want to keep these said features after changing the ROM...
regarding the screen rotation icon, is the screenrotate.dll still part of the startup service? Memmaid can show the startup service to check whether it is still there or not. Also, maybe the rotate icon is not showing due to the registry settings?

If you are looking for Direct Push mail, either of the released AKU2 ROMs will work fine. Who's your carrier?

Great, I have been waiting for this link for ever. However, I have one question. If I flash to the updated ROM on Qtek9100 or Kjam for that matter, how easy/difficult/impossible it is to go back to the previous ROM.
Is there a way to create a one file EXE of the original ROM like the updated ROM ?
I am just throwing shots here. Can someone give me some info please.

Thanks huangyz for your reply. My question was very generic since I was still in the deciding stage at that time. I have just finalized my order for Qtek 9100 today. Are you using the updated PushEmail ROM for Qtek ? Hows your experience on the stability. When I spoke to the store guys, 2 of them told me that this version is still unstable. Hows your experience been.

yes,im using the newest 2.17.7.2wwe rom,it's really stable and fast , even with the omapclock set to 240MHz. my Qtek9100 has been running for several days without a restart . think this would be the contribution of the AKU2 thing.
i don't use pushemail, so, no suggest about it.
another thing i must say is that by now i have only the SPB-GPRS-Monitor plugging installed, no other Today-Addons. 'cause i need to confirm which PPC utilities would have a conflict against this new rom. I am planning to install Resco-Explorer this weekend.
Hope this could help you.

hi there huangyz!
Did you ever try the Qtek Test ROM 2.8.7.1 WWE before going to 2.17.7.2 ? Would you say 2.17 performs better [without Overclocking] than 2.8? I loaded 2.8 because I wanted A2DP for BT and as I understand it 2.17 does not have A2DP, I won't be using Push E-Mail. So I am deciding if I should flash to 2.17 or stay with 2.8 and wait for another ROM.
Just to endorse Huangyz comments, I'm running the new QTEK 2.17.7.2 ROM as well and it's very very stable (I use the OMAP at 240 as well). Am using the SPB Pocket Plus on it with no issues - can't remember the last time it was hanging needing soft reset. For some odd reason I also no longer have issues with Activesync failing every few synchs but that may be unrelated.
you are probably right with it being unrelated. for me I haven't been having AS issues even with the dopod shipped ROM or the Qtek Test ROM. Can you shed some light on performance without Overclocking or would you say that overclocking is a must [I am not sure if I am ready to trade off the device's uptime for a slight increase in performance]. With the Test ROM when I listen to MP3s using BT A2DP and then try to do something else [i.e. compose an sms or type a short note/document]... the device becomes slow as a snail and it is very annoying...

Hi,
I have heard alot about omapclock and about overclocking the device. I know that it shouldnt be overclocked beyond a specific limit as it may make the device unstable. But, forgive me, I had a very basic question here. What does this omapclock do ? I know it can speed up the device but it will always be at the cost of something isnt it ? So whats the trade-off here.
Hi to all, here goes my First post
Greetings from sunny Europe..
That be one..
As far as Omap. It does exactly to Wizard what overclocking front bus to CPU in PC.
Increases clock frequency that controls the cpu/ and possibly memory.
I am not programmer of this software (omap), but usually a several settings are connected together, like speed of cpu, memory, and possibly of some other subsystem like GPU (graphic card in wizard)
BTW Thanks to guys that made omap, great piece.. i am succesfully using it and clock of 240 is where i start
My current machine(wizard) is SPV M3000 From Orange on latest official Qteq rom.
i have all kinds of observations about it, (both phone and rom) but for now i'll keep it to myself as they ALL (i guess) come from my craze od d/l stuff and installing on my wizard with no brains at all
Thus far (getting back to tradeoffs and performance..)
O/C with omap is a necessity if u want to listen to high quality mp3 and be able to use anything else on wizard.
my experienc is that using pocket music (great mp3 player) with high bit rate mp3 heavy eq applied, completely freezes any action and reaction on wiz. and even turning down volume can take about 5 to 10 seconds after pressing touchscreen..
with omap applied cpu usage drops to around 70% and it behaves ok.
As far as uptime.. i have noticed no difference even with HEAVY overclock.
most battery consuming i think is: 1. WiFi, 2. loud music with high bitrate mp3 and built in speakers, 3. BT, or brightness turned on all the time(no screen saver) .. whatever the rest may be..
So if i am not mistaken cpu in wizard have 2 cores, one for DSP and phone processing, the other one for OS WM5. now i am thinking.. dynamic allocation of unused phone core to main processing power..for the os.?
Mmm 400 mhz for my wizard.. Me likin' it
..that's as far as my dreams go..
Greetings to all and i hope this place stays as cool and essential for all of us.. 4evA

sure, i try 2.8.7.1WWE-Test for nearly 2weeks. I took no advantage of A2DP because i rarely listen mp3s using my qtek.
i have no impression on this test rom now, except that i had to reset at least once per day.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering if I go with the 2.17 ROM can I downgrade to 2.8.7.1?
My Friend bought Kaiser From HTC Egypt and they sodl it with arabic ROM and disable the GPS ?! as it is not legal in egypt to use GPS up to now , is ther is any idea how to enabel the GPS with the original ROM without flashing a new ROM , I think it is need the dreiver or any GPS CAB to enable it, I tried Quick GPS , GPS Test , GPS utitiles but it can not detect the internal GPS
ROM details :
CE OS 5.2.1620 ( Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM Version 1.81.452.0 WWE
ROM Date 10/30/07
Radio Version : 1.27.15.32
Protocol Version 22.51.88.13H
I read another thread about this recently and I think the answer was that the GPS should be enabled - but would need a ROM Flash.
But, I think that if GPS is illegal in Egypt then there may be an agreement between HTC and the government to have this permanently disabled to allow the import licence.
Hopefully, someone who has re-enabled GPS will come along and help out - I'd be interested in the answer.
thanks for your comments, I think it is a matter of driver and I still need it without Flashing a new ROM

Salaam,
unfortunately, I cannot offer you a solution, but either way, you SHOULD flash your device, the ROMs here are just so much better than any of the off. ROMs. And who knows, it just might fix your GPS prob, too.
Just my two cents.
H.
There was a big thread on the Hermes forum about enabling the internal GPS. This link (post no. 192) has a couple of WM5 & WM6 drivers attached and you may find more sources elsewhere in the thread.
Maybe worth a try if you don't want to re-flash the ROM, but I think the cooked roms will have all the drivers you need - and if they don't you can always go back to the original set-up later.
thanks to all of you ; I will try the links provided by ach 2 ( thanks ) and I will report it back
I tried the Hermes Driver but it does not work , any idea ?
again, flash one of the custom roms here. the trinity was originally sold with a gps receiver built in but it wasn't enabled at first, but subsequent rom updates brought it to life...but it was a rom update, not a driver. a driver would work for unrecognized hardware, not disabled hardware

Just out of curiosity, why are you SO averse to flashing a new ROM?
I just want to keep the original ROM for the warranty issues; and the original ROM is perfect for me
Well, you can always reflash the original ROM if you have to RMA the phone. Because otherwise, I don't think your GPS is going to come online anytime soon.

I've been doing some reading in the PPC-6800 thread because the chipsets have some similarities as far as the radio/GPS goes and far as I can tell you are in a similar situation as those users are in that without a re-flashing of the ROM, it does NOT seem possible to enable the GPS as many users of the Titan have been unsuccessfully trying already in this forum.
If I were you, I would reconsider the re-flashing process as it has been proved to be reversible in case you need to do a warranty return. Otherwise, it looks as though you will have to stick with your stock ROM, which seems less than "perfect" for you as it has NO GPS.
Also, have you experienced any re-flashed ROM's firsthand? It seems hard to make a judgment call about the relative perfection of a ROM without having something to which you can compare. Just an opinion...
thanks, you are right , I will flashy dutty new Rom Now, thanks for your support
so why is GPS illegal in Egypt?
As the Official statement says it is not allowed to import any GPS devices; Even Nokia E90 Communicator & N95 but nobody knows why ; sometimes they said it is a national Security issues ; but the fact is that the GPS devices including E90 & N95 are being sold at the Grey Market ! from Dubai

Don't forget that after you flash and set-up your rom, DON'T be impatient with setting up your GPS. It can take quite a while to get the first fix. I don't know what GPS software you plan to use but there are a couple of GPS test utilities which should help.
I'd advise the following for first set-up.
1. Go somewhere where your phone has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky - no buildings if possible (definately not near a military establishment )
2. Run QuickGPS. (Probably built into the rom).
3. Download and run either GPSTest or VisualGPSCE to see if you get a fix. GPStest should auto find your GPS com port and baud rate. VisualGPSCE needs to be set (probably com4 and 4800 or 9600 baud).
4. Start one of the above programs, put the phone down and go for a cup of tea - the first GPS fix can take some time (Some people report 30 or even 60 minutes).
Good luck and let us know if you get your GPS running so others can learn from your experience.
thanks ach2
Dear Ach2 thanks for your kind support ; I will do it today after working time at home , thanks again for your kind support
Hi I am a newbee also
I am planning to buy the HTC TYTN II from Egypt and i had heard about the GPS problem being disabled in the Original ROM.
i guessed that the drivers will not work as mentioned
in the post,
As SkizZO Said in his reply at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294113&page=20&highlight=downgrade+radio

Since the Rom provided disables the GPS Panel, the drivers will not find the hardware to make it recognizable.
I have 4 questions:
1- how can i do a full backup even of the rom supplied with the Kaiser originally.
2- emad.ibrahim, can you keep us updated here with how the gps will work after you do a reflash, and its performance.
3- what ROM are you using, and what are its major flaws if you found one, i heard the Dutty's Rom v2 is gr8 with a lot of fixed issues, little space consumption, gr8 number of added applications, but i am still not sure of its flaws. Can some1 also mention it here.
4- do the ROMs come with windows mobile installed, or is it something seperate?
thnx a lot for your cooperation.
emad.ibrahim, how is everything going after the new flash.
1. how did you flash your device.
2. what rom did you use?
3. how is the stability of the device after you had flashed it for the 1st time?
4. are you planning to discover and test other roms later on?
5. did the gps work? --> i could help you later on with some applications for egypt maps, and programs.
hope to hear from you soon.

I put my TD to "sleep" about a year ago because I thought there were better things around, although I liked the phone a lot.
I have a wish to start using it again for a specific purpose but find I don't have all the forum links that I used to. One thing that is bugging me at the moment is I can't seem to find a link to the Touchflo 3D cab file. Could someone also advise the best ROM to go for these days, I see from Dutty's site that it is not being developed any more....thanks.
I recommend you to test the stock rom 2.03.xxx.x first.
2.03 has been much faster than them older ROM.
Thanks Soderstrom, that's just what I did and also managed to "awaken" the Touchflo 3D. It seems to be working just fine although the wifi seems a bit weak.
You should try Clodyfa's rom - fast , clean and stable ( with me )
thanks for the input...i always used Dutty's ROM's over the years, what are the main differences would you say?
I have just purchased off ebay this extreemly good phone, I was sick of my nokia e71 and fancied a change, I missed the touch screen of phones ive had in the past.
Question for everyone the firmware seems a little buggy and ive checked on htc;s website but any upgrades wont work with my serial number (the phone is original htc but with 3 software on it)
Does anyone else have this problem with their 3 mobile and has anyone on 3 upgraded the firmware to one of the 6.5 versions available and if so does all the settings still work after the upgrade.
Ive upgraded my last wm phone so im ok at doing it but what I dont want is to lose all settings and not be able to access the internet etc ..

The Radio effects signal/gps fix/battery life and the outcome of which is best is very much varied by location.
The STICKY in ROM Development holds alot of valuable info from how to flash to Radios etc.
I have the Kaiser on 3. I have changed the ROM several times and the radio once. I have found that the signal is better on the radio I am using and the ROM's are brilliant. WM6.5 is great, just waiting for a stable wm6.5 with the new m2d v2 installed.
Wack one on and have some fun, just hardspl it first.

Kaiser / Tytn II on Three
Hi
I picked up an Orange TytnII off ebay and after putting hard SPL on I have been using many roms fine on three UK
My favourite is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
although be sure to check out many of the other excellent roms on here, there is some real talented chef's, I also like the PDA corner roms
Regarding stock I used an orange UK stock rom that also changed the radio, read the instructions well on here as you'll want to make sure you hard reset, stock rom, stock radio, hard reset then 6.5 then radio then another hard reset just to make sure you clear everything.
Regarding radio you can try many different ones, again read the posts you'll find some just don't allow you to make / receive calls if they're not in line with the rom.
I think I have my current setup in my signature.
Also be sure to check out the posts with the iskoot client configured for three's free skype access, getting free MSN is a bit trickier and to be honest the java client is a bit flaky for my liking so I just use it out of my allowance !

The radio I have been using is 1710901 but you will have to try a few and see which one is the best for you.
Blinky
just to clarify
so the radio doesnt matter to the mobile phone supplier ..... as long as the radio and new firmware works together it will work on 3 .... ?
ive found a possible firmware but the radio has to be different so its gonna be both upgraded ... im just concerned as 3 software is so tied down that i dont wanna have a non working phone
ive upgraded before on a previous htc phone but didnt have to do radio upgrades .....

I too have an unlocked Orange Tytn II I got on orange contract and unlocked on day 1. Gave Orange sim to the missus and jumped over to three.
I have used a numbe of roms and radios, but currently use Shifu 19 WWE with radio 1.70.19.09. Works perfectly.
I reckon 3 is the perfect network in the UK for Tytn II as PAYG internet allowances are very good.
Its not as tied down as you think. I have the ISkoot WM client running using 3 connections for free calls etc and also SkypeManager running on home PC to get 100% free calls to all uk landlines too. Google SkypeManager.
Have fun!
success
well took the plunge this afternoon and hard spl'd, upgraded rom and radio how easy was that ... finally got a phone that doesnt crash and everything works superb ... settled for stylez black wwe with radio 1.70.19.09
superb thanks for all your help - very happy kaiser owner !!! ....
now I know how easy the process is im sure my firmware will change regularly all you rom makers superb keep up the good work
Dont forget to do the N95 spoof to get free MSN live usage on 3 network.
Ive been on 3 for a while now and think its great, signal isnt allways good where i live though, but what can you expect living at the bottom of the uk.
