Hi all,
What are the differences between the different WM5 releases (Helmi, Logout, Midgets, TuMa, ArtZ IVAN)?
I'm new with the WM5 for BA, and I'm not sure what image/version should I use.
Thanks
Use helmi's.
Yes use Hemli.
yep, ATM Helmi's relases are the best.
Just decide between AKU 2.6 and 3.2 one.
Hi,
As I see Helmi's should be the best release (even though I don't know why).
So what are the differences between 2.6 and 3.2 releases?
Is only bug fixes and patches?
Thanks
Helmis releases are the most new ones, so i advice you to use them, or if you are experienced you can try to build custom rom using bepe's wm5 kitchen

they are identical in terms of bug fixes etc, the only difference is the core OS portion of the ROM. AKU 3.2 is the newest and contains a few new features but the PIM management is different and programs like MS voice command and PIM management apps dont work, this is why the AKU 2.6 was made, for compatability with these apps.

Helmi's are the most recent and incorperate some recent revelations by the folks here that have greatly improved the performance of the phone. You picked a good time to drop in...
2.6 and 3.2 refer to the actual internal revision of windows mobile 5. Think of them as service packs. 3.2 is newer and in theory should have less bugs*, but there are incompatibilities with some software such as one of the voice commanders.
* I work in software and even I am laughing at my own statement!

and inserted somehow into the official HTC roms like the Wizard and Apache roms that lack this feature. With the 6600 we were able to update the bluetooth stack using cab files. You think any cab files exist or can be created that would let us update aku 2 roms that lack a2dp to give it that functionality
i would like to hear an answer to this one, so i bounced the message back up to the top.
when i decompiled the latest tmo universal rom i saw a bt a2dp .dll file
if there are any testers i could compile the files into a cab format but i need all the files list that would be neccessary for a working a2dp profile
This would be the greatest thing since sliced bread if possible!

Hi all,
I still use the beta rom just to get A2DP working...
Did you notice this thread? Seems very active.. and have some results
Operation A2DP (A2DP for all devices) - One step closer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43992&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75
good night
Anyone running one of the leaked test ROMs that has a2dp working, can you tell me what the OS version and build number is?
This is what your'e looking for summiter, it's the same one I had you build for us with the cingular customizations. You would be some kind of Hero if you could merge this with the 2.17 rom and cingular ext rom.

Actually, what I'm trying to find out is if the core OS build is the same in the a2dp test ROMs as it is in the officially released (but a2dp-free) AKU2 ROMs.
On the AKU2 ROMs, if you go to Start->Settings->System->About the OS build is reported as:
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
If the leaked test ROMs have the same core OS, then the only difference between them and the AKU2 ROMs would be the radio, bootloader, and customizations...in which case I could build an installer that has the core OS with a2dp, but with updated radio, bootloader, and customizations.
The installer I built from that test ROM has the Cingular customizations we want on the 8125, but the radio and bootloader are potentially older.
Now that would be SWEET!!!

summiter,
I just installed your custom built 2.8 ROM. The OS build is the same as you have indicated above the radio ROM and the loaders all had different versions.
Then using awizard, I extracted the OS ROM, installed your custom built 2.17 ROM, and then using awizard, I loaded the extracted 2.8 ROM. So now I have the latest radio, boot loaders, etc but with the 2.8 OS!, So far things seem to work OK, haven't tried push email, as I still don't have any place to test that from. But I have A2DP! and am loving it so far.
So now your next challenge is to extract A2DP and build a 2.17 exe
Oh BTW, just an FYI I have the old CommManager screen though.
Thanks for all your efforts!
Shankar.
Anyone want to make a rom that uses the Tmobile UK rom and adds a2dp? That way all us blackberry users could have it as well
wow, people still use the crapberry??? surprising.

Hi! Just wondering which ROM to upgrade my SX66 to WM5.0? Please vote and leave your opinion.
I would simply choose Helmi rom (vanilla) version, excellent speed, very stable and best of all it's a base (cleaned) rom.
btw, I mean no disrepect to Tuma, Ivan, Artz, they have not released their rom for a while now, hence their latest rls are out-dated. the latest logout rom are based on Helmi work basically with few fixes.
you may wanna include xplode's rom as another option, he has been working hard for it, and his rom is one of the best out there at the moment.
xplode?
wonder why xplodes name is not included in this poll
I did not find xplodes name on the list of ROM listed on XDA-Developers forum. By the way, what does AKU stands for?
Maybe you should put xplode's name in the pole.
Tried editing the poll but can't.
yes, XPLODE's ROM must be included also..
i have tried using his work and i found it nice too..
been using it since wifi was working great..
his work is one of the bests ROM as of the moment..
his name must be in the list too..
for now, i go for HELMI's work..
the vanilla version.. its a clean ROM..
my wifi also working.. =)
semper fidelis,
rizortiz
i think xplode is a very good one at this moment too
You are liar!
There is a THREAD for xplode ROM on "XDA-Developers forum" but there isn't wiki page for it. So there is diference between forum and wiki
forum.xda-developers.com
wiki.xda-developers.com
What was written in wiki? Latest versions -recommended to use:
How to upgrade to the AKU 3.5 WM5 Helmi beta 1.4b - newest
So why do you ask such a question when you already know the answer?!
Using Helmi's Vanilla rom now. Fantastic rom, with A2DP working. It would be good if it could be reduced further by taking out Internet Sharing, Modem Link, Pocket MSN and Clear Storage. Power_service.dll and Rotate_screen.dll also don't need.
I was using Xplode's rom for a while until I find that A2DP was not working. If that could be fixed, I would probably use Xplode's rom again as it is truly a very basic rom, so the speed is much faster.
Anyway, both Helmi and Xplode's rom are the best.
AKU

I second this vote.
Been using Xplode's ROM, since that was working fine for me.
Have switched to Helmi's vanilla-version, because I wanted an as clean as possible ROM.
I have to agree with the Vanilla-supporters here
Haven't tested other roms beside Helmi's though.
Installed this version just this morning - it's VERY nice... no annoying bugs found just yet. Works a lot faster too!
which wm6 rom is currently the fastest and most stable. im on sonblack rom, the
AKU 1.00 OS20000 one, got it from pdaviet.net. any rom faster or stable than this one?
Im using c_shekhar's ROM: 7.0b.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0).It's the most stable and fastest ROM i've ever had.Problems with the Camera(video mode) & navigational button in landscape mode are still not fixed though in this ROM.
I'm also considering sonblock's ROM.Is it not fast and stable?What problems did you find with this ROM?
c_shekhar's ROM: 7.0[COLOR="Red"]C[/COLOR].40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0)
bro upgrade to c_shekhar's ROM: 7.0C.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0). this the fastest and most stable rom.. i recommend this.

Thanks, but I think the same problems with video recording & dial-pad orientation remains in the "c" version.Regarding the fixes in "b" release:
Fixes over 7.0b.40CS:
1. The slow scroll problem while viewing the web page fixed.--Im using Opera browser.
2. Bluetooth FTP added for easy file transfer with other phones especially the sony erricson (tested with T630)(thanks to the_hesham)--I seldom use bluetooth FTP.I can Sync normally with bluetooth anyway.
3. Added the WMplayer ver 11.2...I use TCPMP & Mort player.
4. Added WkTask1101 a Wonderful task manager including Application launcher (Thanks to Waku)---I use QuickMenu,PointUI,S2U2,&Touch Commander
5. Added Ftouchflo for touch type scrolling a great creation by efrost. (Thanks to efrost)----Touch Commander has the nice feature of FTouchflo
6. Modified the settings in network Wizard for BSNL, India for proper functioning of GPRS/MMS.---I'm from Philippines,GPRS/MMS works perfectly with me.
thank you for ur replies guys. dnardz, as this is my first ever wm6 rom, im really not sure if its faster or slower than the other roms, its zippy but does get stuck sometimes. About the bugs in this rom, well it automatically goes into standby mode sometimes, even when i set it not to, and video camera is very slow, i mean its like taking pics in burst mode. sakurasyaoran, i,ve seen people in these forums who have converted from c_shekhar's rom to sonblack rom and some of them think that sonblack rom is faster, is this true. Please correct me if im wrong.
oh yeah and one more thing, i hope the mods wont mind me asking a different question in the same thread. Are wm5 roms faster than wm6 roms? If They are then by how much? Im particularly interested in llbasha wm5 rom with 96mb memory, 16mb ramdisk, 16mb pagepool since there isnt any wm6 rom with more than 60mb ram. is this rom fast. any major bugs?
my windows has 80 mb
yes ather90, but ur one has 80mb ramdisk, what i meant was program memory.
I personally find sonblacks aku1.0 rom fastest and the most stable. And ive tried all roms on this forum. except for athers aku1.0.. the reason i like sonblacks rom is first its aku1.0. 2nd i like the small things like if i change screen orientation it changes the screen quite quickly... alot more quickly than all other roms... i have a very heavy today screen with almost all of spbs today plugins... so it does matter for me... second SIP changing etc is fast unlike most other roms in which it took 4 5 or more seconds for the SIP menu to pop out... and many other small speed issues here and there. Stability is also good as this rom hasnt freezed or crashed once yet(at least not on its own it does crash when some software fks things up)...
thanks xPresident. Guess i wont be having any doubts now. And could u answer my second question about wm5 vs wm6 speed? Particularly in llbasha's wm5 rom case? Is it faster than the sonblack rom i have? the reason im quite interested in llbasha's rom is due to the large amount of program memory as i want to play games on fpsece, which seem to run quite slow on the sonblack wm6 rom i currently have.
im sorry but dont have any idea about WM5. i only used one wm5 rom for 1-2 days and dont remember which one it was n it wasnt a very good experience. thankfully about that time the first wm6 rom came out. all games running fine on my fone havent used fpsece but i do use pocketgba etc... n i think it works fine. although maybe ur right wm5 might run emulators faster. ive read in these forums some people have some problems with video playback etc too n its not as smooth as in WM5.
what about helmi?
funny i did'nt seem to read any comments on helmi's rom when in fact most of the roms u mentioned here came from helmi's base rom. i am using helmis for months now and the speed and stability is almost the same as when i first installed it. my program and storage memory are almost running full and i'm only experiencing a slight and unnoticeable slowdown. the only thing i am a bit frustrated right now is the camera functions and picture quality - guess it's the same with all the other roms.
sorry for the late reply, been busy flashing my ppc. well i tried llbasha and another wm5. xPresident, you're right. both of them are not as stable as sonblack's wm6 rom, just too many bugs e.g no DUN, had to soft reset a lot etc. i even felt them to be a bit slower than the wm6 rom. and wm5 aku 3.5 drain battery really fast. So finally i was bout to give up for a wm6 rom with large program memory until i found another one of sonblack's wm6 rom on pdaviet.net. this one is on aku 0.7.00 but it has 96mb program memory, 32mb pagepool and 0mb ramdisk. Im gonna try it out now and see how it goes.
wow ive got to check it out... didnt see any rom like that there before.. although aku1.00 like that wouldve been nice
where can I download sonblacks aku1.0 rom ?
you can download it from www.pdaviet.net. you will have to register n the sites in vietnamese though if ur familiar with forum registration pages you wont have a problem go to download n from the dropdown find himalaya... loads of roms there.
btw sahir plz do tell us if the 96 mb program mem does u any good with fpsece performance.

Hi,
Noticed there were 2 different roms by itje, and I was wondering what the differences were... I read posts and couldn't find any infos.
Thanks in advance,
Seb
4.5 has never passed the "beta" stage, 5.05 is more stable. In one word, bugs
Thank you, guess v5 is better then. =)
Yes. Also uses newer versions of TF3D, WM and other software.
i have now had my xperia for a month (did a SE R2A...10 update from their update utility earlier)... and now i am willing to update it to either Touch IT v5 or WM6.5..wondering if anyone has used both and is willing to share the experience... is it a wise move to update to itje's 6.5 rom yet ?
hm... I'm using the 6.5 at the moment and for me its great.
altough itje said its not ready for daily use there are no bugs for me
Does Touch-IT v5 RC2 contains every thing in v4.5 ?
because I'm using 4.5 and I like it, I don't want to lose any thing from 4.5 rom when I update to v5
Hello
I used now 5.05 RC for a week and had no issue.
It is a great stable ROM.
Today I flashed the new 6.5 beta - I was so interested to see the improvements in WinMo since the last beta.
BUT X1 is my play Handy. For productivity I use my iPhone - I need a phone that runs well always.
when phone is locked, and you get a call....after the call, you cant unlock the phone
Would there be more cooked WM6.5 ROMs before the actual release of the operating system? There has not too many releases, apart from PhamQuang's; I understand that Miri got married (not the right time! [Miri, please forgive me]) and Dutty's ROM has not changed for "ages". It would have been positive to have the current version from them, given the GUI changes...

Actually I think you'll find that there is a lot of wm6.5 roms using newer builds. I admit, there may be a period of slowdown, but roms are still being released. Not sure if you realized but Throy actually releases his new roms on HTCPedia now. I'm sure Miri, NRG, Laurentius, Throy and others will be releases roms soon enough (though lets let Miri enjoy his honeymoon)
