Cingular 8125 users: custom AKU 2.3 ROM available - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Ahoy mateys,
There's a new custom ROM up on the ftp. It is based on AKU 2.3, originating from a T-MO beta ROM. The core OS however is not beta and is the final AKU 2.3 release.
This ROM feels much better to me than 2.25 did. It will take a few days to really know if it's more stable, but after about 12 hours with it, it feels right. Please only install this ROM if you can deal with potential oddness.
A few interesting notes, and some stats:
-A2DP was already integrated into the OS (no more add-on needed), and works mighty nice with my HT820s, although it sucks CPU
-Auto timezone is active - disable it if your towers insist you're somewhere you aren't
-Boot time is pretty fast, about as fast as 2.25
****THIS NEXT STATEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD****
-The reported ROM build is 2.24. However the core OS build is newer than that of the leaked Cingular ROM version 2.25. This is because the source carrier (T-MO) happens to be at a different place in their numbering. Again, the OS build is newer than the one in Cingular ROM 2.25.xx.
***********************************************************
-The radio ROM is 2.25.11, the same as was in Cingular's 2.25.
-Vibrate while sleeping still works
-Manual phone network selection is re-enabled
-The GPRS/EDGE indicator is now a little different: In the title bar, the usual "E" or "G" indicator will tell you which of the two is available. Added was a very small "E" or "G" over the signal strength bars to indicate an active data connection. This is either new, or my short attention span never noticed it.
-OS reports as: OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
-Contains Cingular customizations for accounts, etc
-Added: themes, ringers, OmapClock w/ shortcuts, improved Task Manager, contact multi-select, wireless today screen item
-Makes toast, but not waffles (yet)
Alrighty then, here you go:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Up...U_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST2.exe
For the adventurous, let me know how it works for you, and whether the toast is any good. I don't run much in the way of third party apps, so can't comment on issues with them.
EDIT 06/06/06:
I replaced the T-MO sourced 2.25 radio with the Cingular sourced 2.25 radio since some folks say they get better performance. Link to renamed file udpated.
Also includes a softkey control panel app to change softkey mappings.

One more quick note - please don't PM me regarding this or other ROMs. Aks in the forums for the benefit of all. Questions that aren't answered elsewhere in the forum WILL be answered by any number of the great folks arouns here.
[email protected]!

Thanks a lot, i will try it this afternoon.

applying now .... thanks for the great work

can you make a rom with all your customization (themes, rings, etc) but WITHOUT any Cingular stuff? I'd like to use the ROM on a different network.
Thanks
PS: is it possible to find, somewhere on this or other forum, a complete guide on how to cook a wizard rom?
I've searched extensively this forum and now i think (or i hope) i have all the knowledge and the tools i need to start however i'm scared i can destroy my phone with a bad rom.
Thanks, bye

you rock !
installing now.... i use spb pocket plus i will give feed back on interaction with that ..

Did you unlock your CID first? I'm pretty sure it's still a prerequisite. Follow fario and button for a little while bro, then come back...

so now i have tested it, works very fine and stable on my T-Mobile Vario. Thanks for that.

So far sumitter this ROM seems to rock hard and fast! BT hasn't shut down and it does boot quicker. I'm gonna start playing with this newer Clearview and see if I can get by without that Adobe Reader... stratnge that they never updated it, huh??? ... kinda like MS Voice 1.5 ...WTF?
Thanks bro!!

Greetings!
Just upgraded from your 2.17 ROM and this one seems to be a lot faster especially on bootup.
Thank you very much!

Nice work summiter Only been on the wizard scene for 2 weeks and Ive already noticed who the "daddy" is I do have one request though, could you maybe list what files are in the extended rom and there function so to avoid installing Cingular setting ect

Summiter, just noticed that inserting or removing the memory card will wake up the 8125. Nice!
Now, if only the keyboard backlight could be made to stay on for 30 seconds instead of 5...

mmm toast....
thanks for the update, will install this later...

Great, I was just about to install the AKU 2.2 version, but I'll jump on this instead!

Just installed.
Hit a couple of oddities for the first time (previously installed 2.17 and 2.25 summiter roms) that I'd heard reported before: 1) one install (rhinostats) hung (clock just went round and round for several minutes after install) at the end requiring a soft reset. The install was successful though. 2) after successfully setting up our corportate pushmail, some time later when I checked back, the mail folder was missing in messaging. Attempting to deinstall/reinstall error'd with an account setup problem. I deinstalled, then soft reset, then re-installed and it was able to resetup the account.
The rom is a little different than past Cingular ones in that the cingular GPRS settings are under My ISP. I didn't see how to change proxy on My ISP; however, it seems proxy is not set which is what I want.
Also, the O2 today theme was missing. I actually was using that ;-)!
Thanks for putting this all together Summiter!!!

Finally took the leap and updated to this ROM from my Cingular stock ROM (OS 1.8.11.1).
A quick question for Summiter: what are the registry changes you made, if any?
Thanks for the ROM!

So far so good! Pocket Plus has been working great. I love it!

Thanks a lot! Installed it a few minutes ago, so I am not able to rate it's stability, but so far so good. One thing I noticed is that in the settings--> connections menu an option is added: USB to PC. It states " Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems connecting Activesync. "
Enable advanced network functionality (checkbox)
Might be usefull for those having troubles with USB connections.

Qtek rom and Cingular nba file

I just noticed that the Cingular nba file on the xda ftp is the exact size as the RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe.
I have tried loading the Cingular nba file and at reboot the Qtek splash screen comes up.
with the Qtek rom.
The ROM is an OS only, so it will look exactly like imat'es and 02's and qtek's and dopod's etc... what you need is the ExtRom which is there. That has all the customizations that cingular added. Which are worthless btw, i spent hours last night trying to put the ext rom onto the cing-8125.nba and it kept freezing while trying to install the extrom. so i gave up and installed the cingular extrom on imates WWE ship rom. The cingular additions are not needed. Maybe you could use the MMS and Media net settings, but thats about it. It gives you a blue theme with the cingular logo in it (YAYYY) a push email service called Good something(i don't use push so i dont need it) and some express mail crap. Also they put all these proxies for http so you have to tweak with them to be able to use internet on wifi. Another thing, there were a couple cabs in the extrom that i removed. For example one of them was something like wifi rate 4. don't want that. another was time zone -5... to bad i'm in central -6.
also i noticed the cingular 1.6 rom is slower then the imate's 1.1 or whatever it is.
Cingualr rom
I agree.
I also stayed up most of the night loaded 1.5 and loading the cingualr extend stuff in the rom, then using awizard to load the cingular 8125 nba file. I also saw it freeze as well.
I went with the qtek 1.67 rom with radio 1.3
Just configure the device myself.
I don't think I am looking back. Happy with the peformance so far.

New WM5 rom on FTP (Ivan Ver 4 R2.1)

Ivan has uploaded his latest (3.3R4) modded version of Mamaich's Wizard2BA ROM here.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Shipped_Extracted_Updates/WM5_pack_V1.rar
No mention in the text files of what's changed since 3.3R3, and I've not had time to try it myself yet.
One thing I can say is that the previous 3.3R3 build was a lot quicker than TuMa1.3, albeit with fewer built-in applications. Hopefully R4 builds on that speed advantage.
I'll post whatever I can discover about this build tonight after I've tried it out.
At very worst it's something to play with while we all wait for TuMa 1.4.
EDIT: Link corrected (MDAIIIUser)
EDIT: New version 4 Revision 2.1

significantly faster than TuMA 1.3, very responsive. rings at the first ring, able to play MIDI files as ringtones, no lag time on the keyboard. very very good.
First time ive heard of this rom. Would appreciate if anyone who has tried it can post feedback.
Just installed it and configed it to my normal settings.
It's a raw install of WM5, no optional apps at all, and it's a lot quicker than TuMa. In particular the messaging and phone apps seem a lot more responsive.
One other note - a lot of filesystem cache options are not set or left at defaults in this build, so it might be possible to speed things up even more with a few regtweaks.
According to readme this ROM is based ont he original WM5 BA ROM with some fixes. I have not tried it yet.
Can anyone post any comparison benchmarking results (such as by SpB Benchmark) of this ROM against the TuMa 1.3 ROM?
Thanks... m8.....
ill try....
:twisted:
hey
If anyone here already tried this WM 5.0 for BA, pls post your feedbacks here...
this rom is quite fast on 400mhz is as fast as tuma 1.3 on 530
there is no skiping in windows media while playing mp3s
language packs fully working
no problems with disable/enable wifi
standard rings beetween first and second ring
cool rom
Some app can not install on this version
I have tryed absolutely every WM5 rom for blueangel, and this one is the fastest thah i have seen. I don't need to overclock my cpu to run it smooth. All the options are more responsive PIE works quite well. Wifi works like a charm, I have not tryed bluetooth yet. This rom is clean and fast, I want all the future roms to be like this one. I do not need extra software but buggy OS, i want clean WM5 rom and if I need something i will install it later. Thanks Ivan for continiue mamaich's work, you both have done great job!
yeah
This is more fast than TuMa v1.3. I havent tried the pocket IE yet. Btw can I install the RAM Disk like the used in TuMa v1.3? If so, where can i download the right version for BA?
wooh
Tried already the pocket IE, for me it is faster than ever before.. Same with the messaging applications. Its really fast...that's all i can say...
No devicelock....????whay?
DOC reprtitioning tool works on this version of WM 5.0 for BA
It'sreally the fastest wm5 i've had tried. Bt headset issue is still here
wifi is ok ad really fast to take net :lol:
Some problem to switch with my dual sim card (also in tuma1.3 and older) i've to reset to have the second sim run.
Phone is really good .....
Now I've had a few hours to work with this build I can honestly say it's the best WM5 there is for BA. Not least because I can actually answer the phone without the thing locking up, or taking so long to open the phone app that I miss the call.
In the past I've used the original Wizard2BA and TuMa 1.3, and this thing beats both for speed and stability. It does have less features than TuMa, but if you want extra applications (MMS, regedit, keyboard skins....) then just download them and add the ones you want - not such a big deal.
The lack of a screen lock shouldn't be a big problem. Instead I've just set the button lock to "all buttons except power button" in control panel, then turn the device off to lock buttons and screen.
Shame the BT issue is still present but we can't have everything.
It´s a fast and clean ROM.
No double entries in programs and settings.
No problems with wifi so far - but I only tested this for about 10 minutes.
Responding of the device is faster than TuMa 1.3
ActiveSync stil signals connected after removing the device from the cradle but semms to make no further problems.
"Media" Sync is working fine.
I am only missing the device lock today plugin. Is it possible to install this manualy?
Thanx!
Great job!
mms?
Where can i download compatible ArcSoft MMS for this version? I tried the one from TuMa v1.3 but it doesnt work (or may I just missed somethings?) I did manage to make a new mms account though...
I've a problem to use extended rom. It's impossibile to unhide it so i'm not able to use it.
Any suggestion??
regards
?/
Just follow on the procedure.. First install Extended ROM unlocker, unhide and unlock your BA and soft reset and then install the extended_rom visible and then soft reset again.. You will see now ur extended rom
Hi,
I've got a problem installing this rom. It installs ok, but on startup it starts installing files from extended rom:
1. BA_version_140.cab
2. Album_BlueangelAKU26_Generic_WWE_RC20.cab
I dont know if i should install these, or if they are remains from TUMA 1.3 (or romz before that).
The problem is the soft keys YES/NO dont even work, so i cant install and i have to wait for it to cancel automatically.
Anyone got a solution/answer?

BEST ROM??

What's the BEST ROM OUT THERE?
Criteria:
- Stable
- Works (incl. BT, WiFi, phone, everything!)
- Fast
- Compatible (e.g., most if not all apps will run)
I'm giving my vote to SuperRom 1.1, becouse this is a fastest ROM, also evrything works.
I guess this is as good a place as any:
I've been using (actually, reverting to) Molski 2.26 Final. For people that have used both, what are the positives of SuperROM 1.1?
(for the purposes of discussion, maybe it would make sense to group all of the ROMs as follows: 1) AKU2.X, 2) AKU3.X, and 3) Crossbow... someone post if I have that wrong)
Super ROm 1.1
With this rom, device runs faster but I have a call dropped so I have to go back to Molski 's ROM
My opinion is wm6 its Stable, Works: BT, WiFi; phone, Fast, Compatible: most or some apps will run but barebone at the start, could for some one that wants to add the programs they only like
i've tried molski's, superRom, aku 3.3 crowbow and WM6 and i'm sticking to aku 3.3 for now cuz inspite of the memory leak problem, it's the most comprehensive rom, everything works and pretty fast too
for the superROM, wifi wasn't working..
for WM6, too much to customize to what i want to have.. plus i'm lazy.. so i'm gonna wait for the xda team to come up with a cooked WM6 rom sooner than later

does wifi with wpa-psk/tkip work for you?
My Vote was for the AKU3.3 crossbow via Faria, Molski, Dr Put, Kyphur and I think the other one RkWhite.
I had had no problems with it. It is fast stable and just great & light for me.
I like the Wm6 also. But could only vote for the best so 3.3 it is !
liked the molski 2.26, the superrom was striking, but aku 3.3 by the masters of xda-dev blew me away, despite the mem leak i think its the best, and hoping that the issue on the leak be fixed soon
For me the Cingular 2.25 ROM has been gold. Nothing has beaten it yet!
i can download each and every rom from ftp site but can anyone tell me from where i could download wm6 rom!! i m running now aku3.3 rom but i want wm6 rom pls help !!
best rom = aku 3.2 molski.biz
So far, I've installed nearly all roms listed, and here is my feedback :
other : old orange FR AKU1.x and old orange FR B2B AKU2.0 => too slow, many stuff that I don't use and too many stuff to add afterwards
T-mobile 2.26 : only used to get strong IPL/SPL as dscribed in unlocking guide. Same problem as orange roms concerning the stuff provided
Superrom : very fast but CF2 not included and stuff I did'nt use, but very good rom so far
molski 2.26 final 30 mb : very fast. problems with smartskey behaving strangely and some info not displayed (eg. amount of space available on storage or card when installing apps)
AKU 3.3 Xbow : very important memory issue (5 mb free after a few hours running, 3 to 5 SR a day) fast and well-stuffed by the way...i'll go back to it if memory issue becomes fixed
Xbow : not many stuff I use in Rom, so plenty of things to install afterwards, and because MSVC 6 in rom, i could'nt install the french version. As I'm french and using MSVC a lot, not being able to install it was determinig in downgrading to.....
Molski 3.2 30 mb : the best rom so far 4 me, very stable, very fast even with no OC, no problem with smartskey, free ram > 22 mo after 3 days of use w/o reset AND MSVC6 and all my usual stuff work flawlessly.
Molski 3.2 by far the best so far. Absolutly no problems.
WM6 is the fastest but lots of problems...
I can`t wait for a Molski ver of WM6.
AKU3.2_Clean_ZeroXtreme at this moment. It's the fastest and cleanest of the AKU 3.x roms I've found on the site. I don't care for all of the eye candy of the cooked ROM's.
I was using Crossbow for a few days. However, I kept getting battery drain issues and decided I'd had enough. I'll probably try it again shortly for ****s and giggles, because I liked it a lot.

Interesting your observations on WM6 ...
The only "problem" I've encountered is SlingBox (which I personally don't use)
Things like HTML email; call history from within my contacts; download attachments actually downloads attachments, saving a step are really cewl and useful.
Just my two cents...
WM6 All the way
I always load all my own apps etc so I like a clean rom.
HTML Mail and the Smart dialler etc are the clinchers for me.
There are lots of little things I find in this rom as I use it that make it way better than WM5. for example when saving a number from your call list WM6 has an option on the top of all your contacts to create a new contact and add the number to that and that when I open the keyboard the SIP stays hidden and does not pop up like on WM5.
Jules
The problems on WM6 were: no MMS, no Camera, battery no more then 1 day, crash, freeze, etc... i tried PDAviet4 (no email sync, no live mail, etc ) and Wi6ard. No aditional software added... Did you use another WM6 ROM?
Those problems i only had on WM6, AKU 2.x and 3.x were fine.

MMS can be solved with ARCsoft MMS. Working fine on my imate
Camera fixed - Solution provided by Faria.
for the rest, I am sure that it has to do with the software you use. I didn't notice any dramatic difference in battery life. I can get about 3 days which is about the same as with other roms. I didn't experience ANY crashes or freezes.
The MMS fix did not work and i stop looking, Faria`s camera cab i cannot find... the rom crashed with no soft just using explorer and media player... I realy like the speed and looks of WM6 so i would not downgrade if those problems coud be solved easily.
Faria ROM for now.
I really really liked the "clean" WM6 ROM, but the damn thing kept draining my battery within a day...
Thought I had it working for a day or two, but then the draining began again
Hopefully Molski of Faria will release a proper WM6 ROM, because the WM6 Smart Dialer app is GREAT!

WM6 on G4 (looking for some applications).

I had the AKU 3.3 rom on my device and used that one as the base to upgrade to the WM6 rom fully however in doing that I lost a lot of the useful apps cooked into the rom.
I'm looking for some if not all the apps that are available on the AKU 3.3 rom for my G4
the quick dials on the today screen is a must really need that but I can't find out what application that is etc.
i've searched around all over but I've not been able to find a few of the apps that are on the AKU rom so I can get them on my WM6 rom now. Anyone got any links they can post up for the following.
Mobile Secretary
New Menu For WM5
Contacts Backup
New SIM Manager
Ringtone manager
Contacts Manager
SMS Backup
Screen Rotate
I can confirm today agenda BORKS WM6 really screws it up.
Ok i've had a few PMs with regards to how I got WM6 working on the G4. Rather than sending them same PM over and over heres what i did.
I paid the £20 to get the software to super CID unlock my G4.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ its quick you'll get it in a matter of minutes and it takes about 5 mins to do it , but its a bit steap non the less.
I then upgraded to the most excellent AKU 3.3 ROM
the link below takes you to the version that WILL install on the G4 its just all in italian but you can work it out . As long as your super cid unlocked your laughing!
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/WM5_AKU3.3_Crossbow_BETA_G4.zip
at this stage when you've run the installer you'll have the WM5 AKU 3.3 Rom running. You can stop here if you want its a great rom lots of features including alot of the crossbow features.
However if your pushing to show off your phat phone skills obtain the WM6 Crossbow rom if you can find it and install it.
It should now go on with no problems! No complaints about wrong versions etc it'll just do it. It'll take you 10 mins to install just like WM5 AKU3.3 does.
When your device reboots your WM6.0! However you'll have to find all the useful apps for your PDA again. Unlike AKU3.3 your device is vanilla so off you go to find everything thats useful.
Claunch works mint as I'm using it again in anger on my device!

Downloading right now. Hope you removed the t-mobile wav's and tsk as well.
Of course. Those were the first to go. LOL
May I use your ROM as a base to a ROM I'm working on?
Be my guest. Thats what I did this for. I got tired of the no aku 3.3 for cingular or non branded. So, this is the end result. Hard work and a butt load of blood on the keyboard <Insert Pic of banging head on keyboard>

Is it based on this ROM ?
Feed back here. One word: Good stuff (ok, that was two...)
Good clean aku3.3 ROM. One day and no problem so far yet. All my problems from the original T-Mobile one were gone. Will let you know if anything came up. Thanks for your effort!
Only OS? No Radio, IPL/SP?

They are seperate. You have to remember that if you have a G4 then you will brick you phone by doing the update seperately. You can still install the original from tmobile to get the radio and ipl/spl update if you would like, then you just have to flash this OS only update

Yes, just without the T-Mobile things.
Any other hosting web site? because sendspace.com is blocked where I live
Thanks!
Gr8 you seem to have accomplished what i am still trying.
Good job so far.
Some questions:
Did you succeed in getting the Operator name (from the active network) in the upper left corner?
Is the MSN messenger stuff out
Are there any crossbow icons, skins, themes and welcome in.
What dialer do you use and is it smartdial enabled? I like the black big-key dialer
What performance tweaks are in (the Wizard isnt that fast as we know)

Thank you very much.
I have a G3 T-Mobile MDA. I plan to flash the original Croatia 3.3 Rom, and flash you OS rom. I have one more question please. What is the 'Blank Ext Rom' for? Do I need to flash it too? If I do, What is the flash order?
Thanks again.
NTS,
1) Does this ROM activate the Cingular Extended ROM as well?
2) Also, can you upload a version that has no customizations (i.e. original sounds, no Crossbow.tsk et.al.)?
3) Did you replace the godawful T-mobile pink and gray Smartdialing skin?
4) Are all of the DRM files recompiled and working?

Yes, but AT&T network seems to read my sim which shows Cingular
MSN Messenger stuff was left along
No crossbow icons, skins or welcome
I used the default dialer, it was always there, just reg keys that needed to be deleted. As for smartdial, it is enabled.
I didnt really put any performance tweaks in, I just tried to slim the rom down a little and make it not so bloated.

1. No it does not activate the Cingular Extended Rom.
2. Awe cmon let me enjoy this release for a bit, working on 2 is nuts. if you want just dump both roms and grab the files you want removed and delete them, then put the original ones back in from the original release
3. Yes, that was the first thing to go. Pretty easy actually, just delete a few reg keys and all the pic files, also one dll file. It appears that the phcan*.dll's hold the phone dialer graphics.
4. Everything seemed to work fine when i installed it. Not sure what DRM is, so no idea if it tested it or if it was successful.
As a side note, I was able to get the Palm Threaded SMS application to work on this release. Still dont work on the Official Cingular, so i think im gonna stick with this one. LOL.
Cannot download from sendspace,the site always says all slots for your country ........etc etc could not download Jaguar3.1 for the same reason,any other download link possible?
