With some community effort, we could create an AKU3 ROM with BePe's stuff.

Nope. That's their AKU2.25 that's been shipping on recent 8125s WITH the G4 flash. I overwrote mine with Mr. Clean's AKU3 using Risidoro's instructions and now am trying to cook Summiter's sutff in just for fun.[/url]
Thats the 2.25 ROM they released in July. It's a pretty good update from stock, but I'm still waiting for 2.5 or 3.0 from Summiter.

I haven't seen a real 3.0 around... which carrier has that?
Anything new yet?
Anything new yet?
Hopefully Summiter could pop in and give us an update. I have been surfing the AKU 2.3 thread and seems that it is the latest one he put out. I am holding off on that in the hope that the 2.5 will show up.
Maybe I shouldn't be waiting?

I am just curious as to what you guys think.
I have been using WM05 for about a week now and decided i can't deal with the current bugs so I am going back to 1.40. I also realized i can go back further and go back to the official rom from siemens.
Also, can someone post the official SX66 rom from siemens? I can't get to the site for somereason.
Back to my first question.....which do you guys think is most stable?
Also, besides WM 10 why is 1.40 improved over the official version from siemens? Honestly, I only used the siemens rom for one day and i immediatly upgraded to the 1.40 rom...so i am unfamiliar with the lack of features found in that old rom.
thanks for the help!

You can't get to the Siemens SX66 site now because they have totally removed the phone and all links to the phone from their site. I have no idea yet why they have done that.
I had used Siemens officail ROM for months and recently about a month ago, changed over to 1.40 from SX66 standardisation project. THis 1.40 ROM is equally stable and I am happy with it.
..
this rom IS a test-only - not for sale ROM.
It works gr8 btw.
The only non-test aku2 rom available is from imate
The Dutch division of Qtek just announced that an AKU2 ROM update for both the English and the Dutch variant of the Qtek9100 is due 'soon'.

if true, sounds a good news
does the test rom have that ****ty white battery meter at the top as well? (the one that tells you the battery is full, half full, or empty)
yes the test rom does have the three bar meter, but it also has A2DP, which the official release does not.
it's possible downgrading from this rom to an older one? 'cos i've read that some people had problems with that
now i'm running 1.3.7.5 spanish, and i want to try the newest one but first i want to ensure that it's gonna be possible getting back
bleh. i downgraded from the official imate rom because of that gay battery meter. i wish there was a way to remove it.

Hi Ximenin,
I've tried downgrading without success.I asked several times for help but no reply.I advise you to wait for the official release rom from Qtek or you will mess up your device like i did to mine.
...
juse use awizard 1.3 and you will be able to downgrade/ upgrade to any rom you want
:shock: :shock: :shock: blackrider you've scared me.... but have you tried version 1.3 like pilpel says?

Ximenin,honestly it is not my intention to scare you,but listen since I upgraded to this new rom my device reboots constantly,freezes and so on.
Maybe pilpel can help describe exactly how to downgrade using version 1.3 cause I've tried it without any luck.I just want to spare you the pain and anger I'm going through now.
Well im getting my 8125 in a few days and i want to figure this out before i get it. Ive been reading the topics on this board and have found that there are a couple different roms available to update to. The ones i have seen are the 2.25 and the aku 2.3. Also i have seen a link to HTC's site that has an update available which i think is the 2.25 one through cingular. And finally i have seen the direct push update from cingular, is this the same as 2.25 or is a seperate thing that also needs to be downloaded? from what ive read on the forum it seems as if the aku 2.3 is the better one to go to so if i installed that would i also need to install the direct push update from cingular? Thanks for the help, just a little confused about it.

The AKU 2.3 ROM, as well as the 2.25 version from Cingular both have Direct Push. Anything that is AKU 2.0 and above has DP.
excuse my noobishness, but what is Direct Push?
If you're new to the Wizard and trying to pick a ROM to try, I'd suggest one of the following based on your carrier:
T-Mobile US - Download one of Xelencin's ROMs
Cingular - You want one of Summiter's creations
If you are overseas and use a different carrier, or just want a barebones ROM to customize the way you see fit, grab Mr. Clean.
Since you say you've got an 8125, I'm guessing that you're on Cingular in the US. In that case, stick with Summiter's latest as it will be a plug-and-play solution for you.
would i still need to download the direct push from microsoft if i downloaded summiters or is it built in?

Summiter's lastest is 2.3 so no further downloads needed for DP.
New question since it looks like summiter just released an updated 2.3. Do i need the update that has the bootloader or the one with no bootloader? Thanks again

If you already have AKU 2.3 then you do not need to update the BL, read his post, read it again, he says it in there! =) <-- all smiles man
this is probably a dumb question but what does AKU stand for? Its a brand new phone so i doubt it has aku 2.3 on there so im assuming i need to install the one with the bootloader. Thanks

Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.
What i want to do is the following:
Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)
however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.
is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?
I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:
1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!
is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!
thank you
helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.
well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course
Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!
dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!
thanx
Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?
I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.
Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi
would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!
an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long
Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)
I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.
youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes
i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.
dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!
well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.
is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!
if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)
please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!
Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
Which version of WM6 is better for the HTC Wizard/Cingular 8125/MDA? PDAVIET3 OR PDAVIET4? Will it run as snappy as a brand new untouched WM5 device?
They say "Underground Edition"
pdaviet4 = pdaviet3 + WMP error while playing mp4, mid, arm, ... fixed!
I just hate the complete PDAViet editions of Crossbow!!
There is only 1 Leaked Crossbow version from Microsoft and PDAViet already maked 4 versions and every time something wasn't good.....memory leak, Faria's name in the Camera app, WMP fix not included, wrong registry values and so on...
To me it looks that they just want to act though but are releasing unfinished and not well tested Roms.
Too bad I cannot release my Crossbow edition

There are a fair number of people, myself included, who have tried the various Crossbow ROMs and concluded, yourself included, that they are not ready for primetime...
But I reallyreallyreally want to move on to Crossbow! So, PLEASE, you, Faria, risidoro, the rest of the Wizard wizards, let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
I just installed it on my pda.... it's ok, but the key on the keypad are all wrong! when i try and type in y i get z and when i press z i get y... and so on... anyone know how to fix this. Or a beter rom build?

His CB is probably based on the same leaked version. He probably has done a better job at testing it. PDAViet CB's problem is they don't test it completely before releasing it. However, most of the tweaks are known already; therefore, all we need to do is do some minor fixed to make it works perfectly for us. Can't see how he can do a better job than what have already been known.
Back on topic. To the OP. Most of the "old" timers, the one who have tried the CB ROM since it was first realease such as Vilem will tell you that they like PDAViet ROM better than the Underground. Most of the Johnny come lately will jump on the band wagon and tell you that Underground is the best because it was released recently . Well, you can always test all of the version by yourself. I have tried the Orwell, Underground, and I still come back to the PDAViet.
PDAViet 4 = PDAViet 3 without the cooked signature on the splash screen and some minor fixed.
Mr UZI man, am looking forward to your release whenever that might come. But I would say Orwells with all registry fixes is best. If it HAD t be bewtween PDAviet3 or 4, 3 is better than 4.

It is....but it is much better tested and less bugs and more integrated in the Rom itself!

yeah , i was also testing PDAviet4 and it sucks can't actually believe people are still using it , i went back to faria's version that look like WM6
I recommend not to used till T mobile release its MW6 version
