Tell me about it. Or for my Canadian friends, "tell me aboodit".
I'm already looking to build an AKU 2.5 ROM...can't imagine why, 6 months after AKU 2.3 was built by MS, Cingular can't catch up.
So, it looks like we'll see a long delayed release based on a 7 month old OS version and potential radio and connection freakiness. Awesome.
Hey Summiter,
Is the version they are about to release the same one that you called ****ty a couple weeks ago?

Is it naive to give Cingular the benefit of the doubt and they addressed some of the bugs that you found before they officially release it? Would not the version that was leaked be more in line with a beta release? I appreciate the work you have done but why denigrate others?
I have a very, very strong feeling that the bugs have not been addressed.

Purely speculation.
I had thought about upgrading using one of the ROMS already out here. When my device crashed and had to be sent in due to a hardware issue I was very happy that I did not. Clearly I would not have been happy with a $400 paperweight.
Additionally I have one comment regarding request for help. I have PMed you before Summiter asking for help. Though there may be answers as to how to install, what to install and in what order, this is not easily determined. That is the main reason I have not used these upgrades. I've read if I had a problem that I could downgrade but with all the confusion I did not bother. I'm not above searching to look for answers but this is a big deal. And I know you are busy but I for one would be real appreciative if the next ROM that you post includes step by step instructions you will really help many like myself.
help?
Navec245,
People are willing to help here. But if you were not willing to spend time doing your own research in the forum, other people would not be able to help you much.

Naw, not naive, go for it.
I based my comments on the possiblity that what gets released tomorrow will be identical to the leaked 2.25 ROM. I came to that conclusion because, although the file being linked to atm is an incomplete archive, the screenshot indicates the same ROM, radio, protocol, extended ROM, and build date as the wonky leaked AKU 2.2 version. What's there now could very well be a placeholder for the real release tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't denigrating anyone. I stated a rhetorical non-question to postulate my personal preliminary hypothesis post-haste.
All these big words have made me hungry. I'm gonna go make a Pb&j sandwich.
Well ... Cingular dropped the ball ..... BUT THE MIAMI HEAT DIDN'T DROP THEIR'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry ...

IS there an issue with the 2.23 AKU where its keeps losing cell and edge signal for a period, even while not in a call? I even have loaded the new Radio rom

Blame it on Cingular. MS just releases the OS, and then HTC and the carries write the drivers and radio stacks for their devices. It could be worse. Look and the Motorola Q that just came out; it has no MSFT at all and how long it has been since MS released it? In that case Verizon/Motorola are draging their feet. BTW, your 2.3 ROM rocks and I bet 2.5 will be even better.
Hopefully it shouldn't be to long before someone at HTC America realizes they posted a corrupt file When Cingular gets loads of phone calls complaining! Its currently only 08.25am in New York
I just shot them an email about it. Usually they respond pretty quickly.
Slimsaturn,
Cingular has been experiencing signal power fluctuations since late Jan.-early Feb. Their acknowledgement of this issue also fluctuates from full disclosure to total denial???? They originally stated that it was in 29 markets including S. Fla. and were very forthcoming with account credits. Then they(multiple c.s. reps) were in full denial blaming everything else possible including the four different lines of service I have with them. Recently, they again acknowledged the issue and said they still cannot figure out what is causing the fluctuations and gave me a 50% credit.
The funny thing is the problem was brought on by something they changed/upgraded. It was like a switch was thrown and my signal strength that was usually full at home, work, and points between varies from FULL to NONE in a matter of seconds on all four different numbers. I have lossed/dropped atleast five calls while on the phone with their techs to help my cause. Their range of acknowledgement must be from directives they receive. I mentioned this to the last rep. and she was extremely apologetic, but would not explain why they keep changing their story.
file size changed : 7:53am CDT
Anyone notice that the file size has now changed to 52.3MB? HTC's upgrade page is about useless - how do you know whether or not this is the new ROM? The file name looks like it's still the old one...
RUU_Wizard_1081101_1.....
I am still getting offered the 39 mb file. Must be through different servers????
Odd. I just tried it again and now I too see the 39MB file. Perhaps I was looking at a cached copy of the web page from last week....
Just FYI -
The bad file is:
25111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
39.0 MB (40,947,200 bytes)
It downloads fine, but fails when unpacking, with the following message:
"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."
Hope they figure out their problem soon!

Why not you pay his say USD1000 then maybe he might use full 8 hours a day working on the ROM.
that would equate his salary with holidays of course to roughly 300k a year?? wow i want that job... plus i would just buy a new phone and wait it out.. maybe even 2 new phones.. or something...
Actually I can understand the comments that have been showing up in the forum. I too can hardly wait for the 1.5 rom. I know Tuatara has been doing what can be done with limited resources.
The updates that Tuatara posts are good to hear. They seem to really get the people even more excited ( I am among them) to see what this next rom will really be able to do. I wish everyone could just relax, offer what assistance that can be offered, and just give Tuatara some space.
I am sure Tuatara has heard this many times.... but we all appreciate the time and thought you have put into the roms you have produced.
Or if you really can't wait buy one of these babys - http://europe.htc.com/products/tytn.php it's like sex turned into a phone. Although they don't come out till next month mind.

Yeah ... I want this next ROM myself! It sounds so good! ;-)
I've got AKU 1.1 working, and have a number of AKU 2.x elements in there (specifically the BT stack and other OS level updates), but I'm unable to merge in the AKU 2.x Push Email. This is because of the authentication system elements required, and these are unfortunately part of the boot XIP section, which (at present) I am still unable to update.

It's more "time" which I need. Finding the issues, debugging the fixes, making the patches, re-flashing the device, testing the whole device again and/or running it for some time on test (battery drain, WiFi dropouts, ActiveSync, etc.) all take time. Especially when you have to "wet, lather, rinse, and repeat" ... ad nauseum.
As soon as I get to an "Alpha" stage, this ROM is on the forums ... maybe tonight or tomorrow night will be a "late night ROM session" ... and I'll see how many bugs I can fix & then get the XDA community to give it a test. That'll be the best assistance I can ask for.

Thanks ... this time I hope to make a robust "core" with TuMa v1.5, onto which any applications can then readily be installed. There will be no "extra" features automatically started - everything will be optional to enable - so that should make everyone happy.
Man ... I gotta get this ROM done. :?
and ladies and gentleman, we are now nearing the final lap...
guess i'm not the only one getting so excited by the minute... really do appreciate your passion in this one Tuatara too bad all i can do at this moment is hoist a bottle, but here's to you and to all the people working so hard, a toast with all my respect *clink*

Peace, salaam...
i'm waiting patiently. if Tuatara wants it to be perfect before releasing it, then i'm willing to wait.

Will Tuma 1.5 have the ramdisk that some of the other roms use? This ram disk seems to be a great idea as it's faster than the storage area and ideal for non-persistant data.
Ramdisk
I hope that any support for a ram disk is optional.
I sometimes run my phone all the way down, and what I like about WM5 is that all I have to do is set the clock and everything else is fine.
If there is anything that depends on a Ramdisk (and I like Ramdisks, my computer temp file all go to a ramdisk, etc) I would rather it not be anything of substance.
That's the point siemens. Only temporary files are placed on the ram disk, they get lost when you soft-reset as well. A big benefit of this is that they auto-cleanup due to this but the major benefit IIRC is that this memory space is much faster than storing the same files in ROM. This speeds up the device. From what I understand the ROM on the BA is quite slow compared to newer devices.

Yes ... 1.5 will have the RAMDisk present as well. I'm debating whether or not to reduce the size of the RamDisk - i.e. down to 16Mb instead of 32Mb - but I can't really see any reason to, since no applications I've tried have managed to use more than 64Mb of RAM anyways.

The RamDisk won't be 'optional', since to achieve the speed improvements the OS makes extensive use of the RamDisk for all VOLATILE and TEMPORARY files it needs. While you CAN install applications onto the RamDisk, this in general is not the "best" idea, since if you run down your device you will lose those installed programs.

It makes a big difference in speed for sure. ROM is still slow on all devices ... especially when writing data. RAM is very fast in comparison, so it makes sense to put everything in there which isn't necessary to keep.
Anyways ... another update on TuMa v1.5 ...
It will be delayed again ... this is because my wife is now in the hospital and we're expecting our third child any moment now. While I will be at home following the birth, I'll be more often than not exhausted and tired from taking care of my other two kids 24/7 ... but who knows, I may find some time to get an Alpha together and release that.
Sorry guys ... no ROM yet ... family comes first.
hey congratulations Tuatara! do hope and pray that the delivery will be smooth.

Hi Tuatara,
It is a very good news.
Will you name your baby "Tuma"?
Just kidding.
:wink:
I was reading some information regarding WM7 and WM8 that microsoft are working on currently but what I was really wondering was, and this is only speculation at this time considering the lack of solid details regarding windows mobile 7 & 8, but if the wizard meets the minimum requirements for the new WM OS's do you guys think you will be attempting to port it? Any speculation?
I don't think any speculation is needed, I'm pretty sure the answer to that is yes.

There usually isnt a need for speculation but I was asking if anyone had any thoughts pertaining to system requirements or on the article I linked to. Or maybe just on any of the things microsoft are trying to accomplish in the new version. Just trying to start a dialog. Thanks.
quite frankly I don't think the wizard will meet the requirements of WM7 or WM8, although that's only my thought, there aren't any numbers to back it up, but you must admit 195mhz (which got put down to 170 for power saving) is not that fast for a pda, even the earlier models like the well known hp2210 had 312mhz to spare

Yea, honestly I'm really disappointed with the processor. For the cost of the phone initially and what with HTC being on the bleeding edge.

I think you're being quite unfair to a processor that has been considered excellent in terms of speed/performance relation. And don't forget the fact that it was directed to a light WM5 and is still alive and kicking with muscled WM6 ROMs
And i believe you should simply forget the idea of WM7 & WM8 in Wizard because it's something that will take a while to release (if ever with that name) and, as the article says, with minimum requirements much, much higher
Its slow, its buggy, the battery life is non-existent.
I haven't tried the cooked roms yet, but out of the box, with nothing installed.... its almost unusable, and I already had it for 3 weeks.
Pretty pathetic for a $800 phone.
Talk about speaking your mind
I do not own a Diamond device however i can tell you (with respect to ANY HTC device) that the ROM that it comes with is not the ROM you want to keep. Look into flashing and you should have a much more pleasing time with a vigorous device.
How odd.
I have mine for about 3 weeks now, batterylife is now about 3 days including 3G browsing, using TomTom, calling etc. (improved a lot since day 1, when it only last for 1 day)
Interface is very fast, its only slow when I close Opera after browsing for about 5 seconds, after that performs fast again.
It is running a cooked ROM though.
Very useful thread... one of many.
With some tweaks the HTC performs well. Even the battery.

Keep your elitist **** to your self, pidoras.
That was an example of the poor performance of the phone. My Trinity could do 4 hours, and it wouldn't even drain he phone that much.
It's just not performing poor.
Just installed HTC's own new 1.37 rom ... and see, it's a almost full functional device!
Fast, no lags (it's not a 3300 nokia!!) lots of usability, navigating, mailing, exchange, foto's, sound, browsing, the whole bunch in my pocket.
A lot of these topics, but I am glad i bought one
I must say battery life is very poor in music playback with set of stereo bluetooth hedphones, i get about 3 hrs max just using music and no phone calling etc. it seems to me that when the battery gets to the last 2 bars it doesnt last long at all. im on the latest rom, phone calling/sat nav and surfing via 3g doesnt seem to be that much of a problem to me battery wise. Ill be picking up the extended battery, i wouldnt swap this phone for any other though!

Just had a nice time reporting you (c)
Besides, he was right.. The phone is not as bad as you said, the things you said just prove that you don't know how to use it to it's potential, that's all...
Yes, I don't own a Diamond (waiting for the Pro), but from what I can see on this forum, for each 10 whining people, there are 50 or more who love the phone after tweaking it for themselves..
The topics like this are pretty much useless, as the only thing they contain is whining, but don't actually give anything useful
My regards..
P.S. You are russian, aren't you?
This is the best phone I ever used
With the reg tweaks here from the wiki the battery lasts about 2 days - I can live with that (remembering my "old" PDAs where battery lasts not a half day *ggg*). We wanted it full featured and slim - so we habe to live with this "battery issue".
But I ordered the extended battry from HTC yesterday - just in case

IMO A2DP is going to drain the battery of any phone?
Whats battery life like on core player with corded headphones?
The rom that came with it (for most people) is slowwww.
A rush to get the phone out i think, but i think alot of people would have made that compramise - have the phone 3 weeks ago with a slow rom and be able to upgrade it around now.
Check the roms section you can find the official rom updates for each region there. You don't need to do any hard SPL modifications to use those, and therefore shouldnt affect your waranty. I would suggest that first.
Flaming is just pointless, and alot of people had the same thoughts at 1 point, i know i did!
I'm looking to get a Diamond and TBH find threads like this useful. I know its a Marmite kinda thing (love it or hate it) but it gives a indication of what the phone is like.
I want a Daimond and wil lsoon be getting one from Orange (£230 NON CONTRACT!!) and want as many users feelings for the phone as possible.
If he said the phone was one of the best ever made you wouldn't slate him and degrade him....so why do it otherwise???
Afterall its a Forum and peoples opinions are their own! Forums wouldn't exist otherwise!

Thats a good price. If you dont mind me asking, how are you getting it for £230 Non Contract?
I have to say this is probably the most ocvered topic for every single HTC out there, I have had almost all production releases and everytime someone always states its the worst phone ever! truely this can't be the case.
There are phones that have been much worse and this is a PDA with lots of extras that why you pay more oh and the fact you purchased it so early. give it a chance with a newer rom.

Hi all,
Finally did it and got myself a Kaiser. Long time Hermes user/supporter.
Im busy reading all the faq's and wiki but what do you suggest i have a look at in roms?
I know CRC's/DVTs were preferential in Hermes dont know enough about Kaiser cooks yet, although i do see a few of the older names that have moved on.
Im in Aus, and this phone is stock so im going to have to do radio as well.
Glad to meet you and hope to be an active contributor here as well.
Try them all, that's what I did... till I settled with one I personally liked. There is no risk involved once phone is completely sim/security unlocked, just time...
Mate,
Enjoy your new phone I did the same change about 6 months ago.
I am in Melbourne and have tried a big selection of the roms available.
Firstly use Kaiser Unlocker to hardspl sim/cid unlock.
Then Jumpspl to change to hardspl 3.56
My suggestion would be try the Garmin1.2 rom or version 2 if it is out when you check.
Try the radio that loads with this rom or
Change to neon 1.65.24.36
This setup works great for my location with no problems that I have noticed..
Have Fun
Thanks Halon,
My 2 specialities was Media Centers and Hermes programming. So I feel and I guess that I am back to noob status
Its great to get a point in the right direction.
Reading the Wiki's and it seems like alot more info/processes than the old Hermes.
Everyones a noob at something.
There is a lot of information here and dare I say it a lot of it can be confusing and a bit disjointed but I am sure with your previous experience with the Hermes you'll be flying real soon.
UPDATE -
Reading vast amounts of information in one night - I have configured the Kaiser with Garmin's 2 ROM!
Halon .. i have done all of your suggestions and everything is working well. (Except for MSVC which slowed down the entire ROM for some reason), Uninstalled that and I am now back to normal. Wierd.
Ill now have to see which of my heremes cabs do work and what cabs dont work ..
Im also looking forward to reading about the video card driver problem .. will have to google that thread.
Cheers all.
TEST (now with a Kaiser)
I did the switch from Hermes to Kaiser about 2 months ago, so far all of the cabs I had used on my Hermes are working on my Kaiser.

I think is better if u use cabs specifiec for kaizer, u can find then in signatures from Senior members or moderators,( like P1tater, Skatdawg, etc) or just ask that someone is going to point u inthe right direction.
Welcome, Test. I'm not yet switched, used both currently. Long story behind it, back then my jasjam was dropped and having the whitescreen and d-pad issues. Need months to repair it, and I need a PDA so I bought Kaiser.
Anyway, just to inform that most of my hermes cabs collection are working on kaiser. The problem is not with the device, but rather on the WM version. My experience, many apps don't run well on 6.1, like skype etc, some not even run at all. Some already have an update which works, and some doesn't.
Short, it's better to always looking for the latest stable build apps, if you can. The problem is, most of them are scattered around forums here. Not necessarily only in Kaiser forum. Good luck, mate.
p.s: yet i must admit, you're posting in a slightly incorrect forum...
Hermes to Kaiser
So, for those who made the switch. Is it worthwhile?

biggest waste of money i have made in a while, hermes was just as fast and did all the same things only thing the kaiser does the hermes doesn't is the screen flipping up a little which i never use any way Iphone 3rd Gen when it comes out for me or the X1experia but I need processor speed now after the slow kaiser

The problem is Qualcomm. Crappy company from the ground up.
I think there is a phone coming out that has a Marvell Chip in it. 624mhz sound good to you with a Overclocking up to 800mhz.
I have been switching back and forth between the two phones, I got to say that the Hermes is a better overall phone, I am not that impressed with the tilt whats so ever....
Hm.You sure it's not HTC who did the crapping, ATW? Not that i don't agree with you, but just want your further enlightment, sir ;-)
For me, a layman, i have heard Qualcomm for quite some time, maybe even longer than HTC (at least for brand recognition). And i heard that they held many patents on cdma technology too. Not sounds too crappy for me, is it?
I remember having discussed in general forum,Menneissys told me that some of the codes are actually optimized in msm7200 than Hermes 'outdated' samsung processor. For example in bluetoth aadp streaming. Though i must admit that the ATI Imageon on Hermes make it faster for graphic apps.
Btw, is it energy efficient to have processor running over 600mhz?

Ohhh YES, definitely.
The best proof was when I had to send my Kaiser for repair, going back to the Hermes was awful. Such a slow brick, I simply hard reset it and left it with nothing installed at all and was using it as a phone only, couldn't bear fiddling with it after having had the Kaiser for a moment. Even that way it was 2-3x slower than the Kaiser.

My kaiser is twice as fast as my hermes was... and far more stable. Shame your one didn't seem to come with GPS.....

I'm very happy that Qualcomm holds patents in CDMA, but what does that have to do with performance of a chip?
Let's just put it this way. Marvell used to be a Intel company. I much rather put my money / faith in a company that is the #1 producer of chips.
My Samsung 400mhz chip gave me better performance. Heck my TI OMAP 250mhz was just as good as this Qualcomm crap!

It is when the chip is smaller and requires less energy to run. I'm not sure what the nm is on the Marvell chip but I know that the talk time will be increased by over 2 hours which is a pretty significant improvement by up to 50%. How's that for energy efficient?

o yea? My Hermes has not had even one reset running V3G's rom, yet I have to do several with the Kaiser although that maybe contributed to the roms not being debugged completly....
As to the GPS, its great for those who do not spent a lot of time using it as a cell phone, try using the GPS and talking on the phone via BT and driving for a living , maybe you will see just how great and useful the GPS is... not to mention the battery life....pssfft
I use my X51v as a GPS/w a BT unit where it sits in a holder right in line of my eye sight which is also my MP3 player hooked directly into my alpine .
Oh yea how about the how the buttons are located on the Hermes vs the kaiser ? look just how close they are on the Kaiser , they missed the boat on that...the layout is very poor...
Now do not get me wrong the Kaiser is a good unit, but it is lacking in many areas.

Yep. On the Hermes I could never use the center "enter" button without pressing 1 or 2 of the direction buttons at the same time and had to repeat my press everytime to get it right... with the Kaiser the buttons finally serve some purpose again.
