Newbie Help - Which ROM to upgrade to ????

Hi Guys,
ive been using the wizard now for around a month and finding some goods things with it. The only downside so far is the speed ; can sometimes get very slow even after ending all programs in the memory. After reading through some threads on here, it looks like it may be worth upgrading the ROM to speed things up. Can anyone give me some ideas and if you think its really worth updating? Thanks.

question
Hi reejmond,
can you tell me what the differnce between the ROM and the Extended ROM?
Do these 2 come together or do you have to apply them both seperatly?

The rom is the OS of the phone (MDA)
The extended rom is the extra's of the provider like gprs settings, MMS settings...special dedicated to the provider....etc etc

Where to find XDA Mini-s I Wizard Rom?
Sorry for the newbie question but couldn't find the answer clearly. Despite the o2 Uk-XDA website leads to a different version.
thanks to enlighten me my Wizard is SSS000 slow :- (

Cingular 2.26 ROM

Not sure if anyone is interested but I created a ROM using a bare T-Mobile 2.26 with the complete Extended ROM from the Cingular 2.25. This is for unlocked G3 type phones ONLY as it has the 2.26 IPL/SPL embedded.
This was my very first attempt at cooking a ROM and it didn't turn out bad if you need a truely Cingular looking phone. Actually I can't tell the difference except it's much faster than the stock 2.25.
This has no customizations included and was for fun only. I've been running it today with no problems. Being as that I don't need GoodLink email or other such Cingular stuff I'll be flashing tomorrow to something different. (but that's me ...)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Other_Unknown/Cingular_RUU_Wizard_2.26
I forgot to include the .rar extension when I UL'ed to the FTP, sorry! ( DUH! )

thank you. I've been using the 2,265 for some time now. it looks like these newer roms seem to be faster and better performance wise.
so this is a basic rom with cingular customizations? I'm deciding on either trying this out,the aku 2.3 beta by shogun or waiting for the next aku 3.2 release.
just wondering. will we see any official cingular/htc releases or have they abandoned the wizard?

If on a Cingular network I'm kinda partial to the shogunmark ROM. For a beta it's worked out pretty well and I'm going back to it today probably.
The 3.2 is a work in progress, not ready for primetime IMO.
This ROM I threw together is for those that need all the Cingular stuff that come on the stock phone. It's got the Cingular Splash Screen, complete Cingular Extended ROM and that's it. It's near impossible to tell that it's not the stock ROM unless you purposely look at the device info. I was simply addressing an extremely small (if existent at all) need for such a critter and to have a little fun.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I am going to load this today.
Keep up the good work. :lol:

bout time you put that out..

Wow! If only one person benefits from this ROM I'm tickled!
Good luck!

All those union breaks I guess! And it actually turned out nice, quite quick in stock mode without molski's speed and performance tweaks... actually never got around to installing any reg hacks as I was happy with it the way it performed. Back to your ROM now though as I don't need all that Cingular stuff ... with my enhancements added in of course !

Will this rom work on the qtek 1010?

I wouldn't thinks so, being that that you're referring to a Wallaby I believe.
Sorry!

Would you happen to know how to get cingular to work on my Wallaby?

Sounds like you might need to unlock it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=1190&highlight=unlock

I believe that you need to change over to the Wallaby upgrading etc. instead of looking in this Forum. From a 5 minute search there it would appear that the Wallaby working on the Cingular network would require you having 1900 MHZ coverage rather than the typical 850 MHZ which I don't believe that the Wallaby supports. I'm not a Wallaby owner however and claim no knowledge of the device nor do I really care to learn.
The subject I posted here was Cingular 2.26 ROM. It is for Wizards only. If you happened to be able to flash it to your device I'm sure it would cease to exist as a usable device. If your question is regarding the Wallaby operating on the Cingular network you're in the wrong place.
Sorry and good luck!

Thank you for the info, but I decided to sell it to someone in Europe. But thaks for the help

What is in ext rom? I dunno cingular rom...

If you dunno you dunneed!
(Trust me !)

in the beta versionn, the voice dial button locked the phone. in this one does the voice dial button really do voice dial???

This is the standard Cingular Extended ROM - no more and no less

Back to what? My psychic advisor is on vacation...
Actually if you CID unlocked you can install whatever ROM you want. Typically you have to downgrade to the 1.05 ROM to the downgrade to another ROM lower than the 2.226, say the 2.24.
But you really should get into the habit of including all information about your ROM when you ask questions here.

a little overwhelmed - what rom should i use?

i just upgraded to the cingular stock 2.25.11 rom and after losing all my applications i wanted to look into what's out there for custom roms, i see all sorts of different versions (faria, crossbow, most beautiful, underground, etc) and i don't know really what to get, i'm tired of my phone being so slow, and i like to use it for the internet/messaging/emulation and music playing.
is there a standard rom that everybody kinda uses, or would anybody mind pointing me in the right direction? thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. Almost all custom roms have some issues of one sort or another (no offense to the Chefs!). You really have to read and see what roms have what you want (or if you want a basic rom that you will then customize). If you want one that just works, then try Faria's AKU 3.3 . Molski's ROMs are supposed to be excellent, but I've never tried one myself (yet). The current "rage" is the WM6 roms. I ran on the MBE one for some time and really enjoyed it, but it took a lot of tweaking and stuff to get it to where I could live with it (ie: its not a clean an simple install). The new Faria "the real thing" is what I'm running now and I really like it. For the most part it worked out of the box (I had to add MMS setup for Cingular, but thats pretty common) then layer on the apps I use. So far so good.
I will probably take a backup of this one and try out mUn's ROM this weekend.
I'm sure that isn't quite the answer you wanted, but maybe it gives you some idea... Good luck!

thank you so very much for responding.
what does WM6 have anything that's really incredible about it that makes it worth using the 'real thing' MOD?
also, what do page polls mean? 8mb 6mb and 4mb?
would you recommend the AKU 3.3 ROM or the Moloki ROM?
thanks for your response, that mUn ROM also looks nice, keep us posted.

the above is a similar answered question
page pool sort of means taking away ram to increase your speed
check this link for aku info

i found 2.3 aku to be fastest. superrom1.1 or Molski final 2.3

how was the mUn rom dude?

I've been on the mUn ROM since Saturday morning and so far no major complaints. The midlet manager doesn't work well with the Gmail app so I'm going to downgrade it, and I had an issue with my phone vibrating and not ringing yesterday but a soft reset seems to have cured that. Otherwise its very fast (even when it wasn't overclocked) and seems overall very stable. I'll probably stay on this until the Faria Vanilla real thing comes out, then may have to look at playing musical ROMs again

OK, then when you release the rom, I'll be sure to drop some feedback as to how well this radio is working. I'll probably give it a go on you "real thing" rom which is what I'm using at the moment. I'm using the 2.61 radio on it for a few weeks and I have not noticed any missed calls or anything, so it might work out.

I just put it on.....let's see how good it is.

does this one have the famous 2.2*+ radio issues.. u kno 2.21 2.25 2.26 2.61 issues as far as missing calls/txts?

Has anyone tried this with faria's wm6 rom? Does it still have the missed call problem?

Great! Thanks Faria,
How was your experience using this radio with your "Real Thing" and "Vanilla" roms?? (since you have been using it for months!!)
Will the upcoming Vanilla and RRT (Revised Real Thing) rom will have this radio?

even if faria didnt include this radio to his vanilla rom you can still integrate this radio all by your self..

I apologize. The emphasis should have been on the first question.
How was Farias experience in using this radio rom? would it always be better than 2.19 with the reg tweak?

seems to work good.. good signal strength

I can't believe that, especially fishy as it appears at the same time as the German ROM. You've had no problem releasing AKU3 ROMs before they appear so why is radio different?
ANyway, seems to be good so far, no problems with the ROM, using one extracted from German AKU3.3.

Another crap radio rom. Takes too long to recover from lost signal. Only getting 2 bars. Calls sound mumbled.

Well after a day of using it on faria's "real thing" I've had no problems. No missed calls, BT working fine, GPRS working fine, my bars have been full all the time (I haven't really left the area around my house yet so that might change). I didn't ever have the problems associated with the other roms either, so your mileage may vary.

I'm using this ROM with Faria's WM6 Real,
I've had numerous missed calls and SMSs. I'm going to flash 2.19.

I've missed 3 phone calls today (phone never rang) and didn't get notified of voice mail until 2 hours later. Also missed an SMS message. This is on the X-Plore 1.1 ROM.
Back to T-Mo UK 2.19 I go...

Works well thus far on Faria's WM6.
--M

I assume all of you know that the missed call problem is provider specific!? Most of people (me too - I am on T-Mobile Germany) will probably never experience this problem while others will probably have it with all newer versions (later than version 2.19) and maybe all upcoming versions...

Why Do I Want to Update My Tilt's Rom

Other than changing the look of the ui, give me a good reason to update it.I already got rid of all the bloat and crapware.
I have now on my Tilt:
rom version 1.62.502.0
radio version 1.27.14.09
And isn't AT&T going to release a wm 6.1 update anyway? So what is the point?

cause you original rom sux. there's been posts in the past, i dont know if you can find it, but if you do........just see the benchmarks comparing a shipped rom to a cooked rom.

With that attitude there is no point. You can now leave the forums.
Flashing ROMS is about getting every drop of power and speed out of your device if you have a lackadaisical attitude then its not for you.

I apologies if my post appeared to have attitude. I just spent the past hour going through the hundreds and hundreds of posts about different roms and wanted to get someone to give me the befor and after facts.
I did see the post where the after was benchmarked against an ipaq, I believe, but i don't know how a stock one compares.
Again I don't mean to have an attitude....

All is forgiven.
I don't know if anyone has benchmarked the Stock ROM w/ Bloat. But On pure feeling I'm glad I flashed to a Different ROM. And Dutty's Has improved upon itself Exponentially. I can't stress how much better the Device just feels after getting off of a Stock ROM.

Do I need to worry about my radio version?

I used to ask my self the same questions, finally one day my friend got a tilt and dropped a cooked ROM on his phone. We compared speeds side by side and it was amazing the speed difference. Needless to say I went directly home to flash my ROM

Yes since certain radios only work for 6.1 roms which requires downgrading 1 or the other or sticking with 6.0 rom with 6.0 radio and same for 6.1.

newer roms and radios really help with performance of certain needed services like gps. I tested with and without custom roms and only 3 satellites with original rom and 7 or more satellites connect with newer rom
