Upgrading O2 XDA 11s with imate 1.40 rom

Can someone please help me, I am going to upgrade my O2 XDA 11s from ROM 1.31 to 1.40 imate Rom with extended ROM.
Do I need to backup a special way so I dont lose any files when I restore my backup after upgrading to 1.40.

Please go to wiki, the for beginners section, you will find a answer there.

I just upgraded my 02 XDA 2s with the iMate 1.40 ROM, and it works like a dream! Thanks!

i just upgraded my iis with the imate rom as well. personally, skype works a lot, and i mean A LOT better than it used to. i think it is mostly attributed to the upgrade of the radio.

Update successful

1) my splash screen changed to imate... will try to change it to a bettter looking one soon.
2) GPRS connection problems solved

Whats the best update?

Hello all!
New to the site and new to my xda 11s.
Just a couple of quick questions, what is the best update on here for my xda? Read a couple of people who have posted on here about thier updates and dont really know if i should update it at all?
Also, is there software availible from this site?
Be glad for all your views
Cheers
Ian

Welcome at xda-developers.com,
You can find answers to all of your quiestions in WIKI

ok, just took a look, and ill be quite honest with you, all kinda confusing lol
All im reaaly interested in is if its worth ugrading the software to wm5. I have read good and bad poins about it, like, runs slow, not everythin works, etc
Dont wantg to ruin the handset so other peoples opinions are helpful to me
Cheers

You can try upgrading to WM5, and if you do not like it you can always downgrade to the latest WM2003SE rom there are few good versions of WM5 in the ftp try them and decide which OS you like more

TuMa 1.3, IMOA.
Seems the most stable WM5 ROM, though it does have one of two annoying bugs they are no worse then what WM2003SE has. It's not the fastest on a new install but it doesn't slow down much once you start using it.

cheers matey. Which version do you run?

ok, thanx again for that. Could you possibly paste a link into this or give me some directions on where i can get it from?

TuMa 1.3

There is a cool WIKI guide on how to install and use this ROM at -
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
There is also a new version of this ROM being developed (1.5 as 1.4 was too buggy) but this isnt in Alpha mode yet, so you might want to upgrade to 1.3 now and wait till 1.5 has been tested and becomes stable.

are there any other upgrades?

WM5.0 advice?

Hello I've been reading your forum for the past days and I've read so manyy comments I just get more and more confused.
Has anyone tried some WM5.0 ROMS and can explain me if there's one better then another?
Which ones are still in develpment?
What are the newest ones?
I'm really that newb
Thanks in advance
teh CORE

Which one is best is really quite a can of worms... it depends what you're after really!! (Stability, functionality, added apps, speed, get my drift?)
The newest ones are the AKU2.3 versions... they are all less than a week old (more like 2-3 days!) and are still in their infancy, although surprisingly stable all things considered!! (I use one of these and have had no issues...)
Popular ROM's are the TuMa ROMS (1.3 and 1.4), and the Ivan 4.3 ROM with RAMDisk that thingonaspring produced...
Just try them and see what you think :twisted:
Read the threads, just search for TuMa/Logout/Ivan or AKU2.3, you'll find plenty to read

Have you read the wiki?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
the blue angel wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
and the wm5 wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
That said and done i would try all of them. There's a forum for each one. Try tuma 1.3, then try logout 5.4.05, then try ivan 1.11 w/ ramdisk, then if you want to try Helmi aku2.3 but know that it's still in development.
If you want something stable. Stick with ivans. Or if you don't mind the slowness, go with logouts. Each has bugs, the bugs are already posted in the forums for each rom. It's GOING to be slower than wm5, But you get used to it.
When upgrading also know that downgrading can be a *****, but isn't too hard if you read and keep your files separate and clean. Also learn to use editfix.bat. Make a master copy that has your phone info and you can run it on any wm5 rom to make the upgrade without errors.

Looking to possibly upgrade, Thoughts for newbie???

Hi people, Im new here,
My name is Mike and I have just bought an O2 xdaIIs and love it. I am wondering about upgrades for it. What would you recommend? All the details are in my sig (i think)
Any help appreciated
Mike 8)

u can try helmi_c aku3.2 which is the latest rls, very fast and stable. it's a very nice ROM. there is some issue with BlueTooth, but the rest is all good.

Hi Mike,
visit http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel and browse through forum. U know we cant give u any advice if we dont know what are u looking for (any problems,discontent?)
You can upgrade to the latest version of wm2003se (see the wiki) and than consider if u wanna upgrade to wm2005.

i'd say enjoy your unit using wm2003se for a while.
and when the time comes that you are looking for some more, then go for wm5... and the latest radio version.... it would seem like you have a new phone altogether.

I would take a call depending on the way you use your phone. How much of bluetooth you use, how much of wifi, do you use a stereo headset, do you use a GPS attachment, what kind of applications you run etc. Please note that if you go through the the complete threads of a particular post helmi 1.3 or 1.2 or 1.1 you will come to know the advantages and drawbacks of upgrading and can then take a wise call.
Hope this Helps

Dear Sir,
I'm running Ivan V4R3, may i know which is faster if compare with helmi_c aku3.2. And as my know helmi is pre-install some program, can u specfily. Thanks!

Ivans rom with ramdisk is very stable and fast wm5 version, and i lie it a lot, but AKU updates fixes many bugs in the OS and Security of the mobile device, so i prefer latest AKU 2.3, 3.0 3.2 roms.
The best way to get your rom to fit your needs is to build a custom one with Bepe's ktchen
@Mike
First i want to welcome you to the forums, you will learn a lot here as i did!
First step that you have take is to read WIKI, a lot of stuff is explained there. For you there are 2 possible types of roms, WM2003SE or WM5. By mine personal opinion the best roms by now are Ivans v4 r3 with ramdisk, and Helmi's 1.3 AKU 3.2 roms. You can try and decide for yourself.

Upgrading to wm6 on Xda IIs

hi mates. is it possible to upgrade my Xda IIs with Windows mobile 5 or 6.? right now it has 2003.
please help me if its possible. or tell me some site where i will get some step-by-step proceidure.
Regards

I know that there is a WM6 for BA out there for a week, but have not tried out yet. Try search around here in this forum first for the WM5, which is very rich

There is NO WM6 for the XDAIIs (Blue Angel).
There are numerous WM5 ROMS for the BA though.
Everything you need to know is here:

There is, and I have it as well, dude. Some Vietnamese at handheldvn.com forum are using it and discussing quite a bit on it. Myself have not tried it out, because I have no time for the moment.
(http://www.handheld.com.vn/forum/showthread.php?t=55894)
link for the ROM is here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/15740822/f5c66922/ROM_53505_AKU_352_WM6_.html
I am surprise why it is not announced in this welknown forum?? Is the one at handheldvn a fake one?

Thanx a lot dude. but is that file is in english? i dont think so. and also it will work for my XDA IIS. and also in case of some trouble. should i downgrade to my old rom.? just let me know. i also have the old rom image.

Yes, English
The forum is in Vietnamese, but the ROM is entirely in English. I have seen some screen shots, and they are all English. Have fun, dude. I am waiting for a vacation when I can make change to this one

I doubt it is windows mobile 6, the guy has not shown the version in any of there screeshots and apart from that, one of the screenshot attached here , dats xplodes R5 screenshot

if i remember well...it was said that the new rom is about 64MBs...however you can download from the link mentioned a 34Mb file in which extrom folder contains a 7Mb camera template cab...

I've tried it
I was also quite doubtful there would be an R6 for our BA, but since I'm about to re-install it, I decided to download it and give it a try.
And I confirm that it's still WM5. Some of the icons have changed, but it's still the same old thing with some WM6 icons.
Some details:
OS build: 15706.3.5.2
the default device name = PDAViet. Which is a known ROM "builder" on the UNI Forum.
Need some more testing, but all and all it seems to be working.
So, maybe it's all new, but it may have a few elements you may care for.

It works...
Hey maaan, thanks a lot, this ROM is perfect... I have Upgraded it at about 30 minutes ago, and i'm trying it.... I think it is not WM5 with WM6 icons, because everything is like in WM6....perfect, wifi works (i have tried to find wifi-net, it found it in 2 seconds...), BT too (i have tried only with my USB-BT on PC, and connect it), GUI is beautiful, nice themes.... PERFECT....
only one thing is bad - there isn't any FILE EXPLORER, but you can install total commander with active sync and then you can search your SD card or memory Phone works too (I have 1.15 Radio ROM)
And one thing which i don't like (but i had got same problem with explode ROM too) : Camera has got one white pixel.... so big white dot on the photo but nevermind..... this is super ROM Thank you again buddy...

So, it is right, it is WM5 with really realistic WM6 Interface.... but still perfect ROM

Thanks for the recent posts
Thanks all for the recent posts. I saw quite many positive applause on this version at the Vietnamese forum. Take care!

I knew WM6 doesn't yet exist for BA...
I'll give this one a miss....

yes thanks a lot. i also upgraded my O2 XDA IIS and its working perfect. great Rom . one little question. when i display my syatem info. its showing 96 MB ram instead of 127 Mb. and also. its not displaying any Extrom version.
i wrote all my info below.. so give me some info about this.
but overall the rom version is perfect thanks a lot.
ROM VERSION 5.35.05.WWE
ROM DATE 05/08/07
RADIO VERSION 1.12.00
PROTOCOL VERSION 1337.42
EXTROM VERSION

Thanks, xplode, I'll keep an eye for you in case you got stuck with Vietnamese

also for great WM6 theme you all can use the brand new Wisbar Advance 3 Beta2 it has Wm6 theme builtin

Explode please, can you upload it? Or is it possible to find it on the web?

when i was using 2003 on my O2 XDA IIS. i perform hard reset by pressing the top power button and the reset button. and now i have upgraded to wm2005 and again i am doing this. but it wont work. its only soft resetting. so anyone know how to perform hard reset. so i will get my registry setting to defaults. cause i made many mess in the registry for tweaking
