AKU 3.2 Core Rom? New Custom Rom

Wow, I impressed myself tonight. I read this site every day, and have been doing so since last year when I bought my Cingular 8125. Tonight, I decided to cook my own custom Rom, and low and behold, the flash went perfectly, and all aspects of it installed without a flaw, even the custom extended rom I cooked. I learned all of this by simply reading through these threads.
I'm not too sure what this communities sharing ettiquite is, and would like some opinions and feedback from the authors whos work I borrowed. This Rom will not be shared until I can further personally tweak it. My custom Rom details are as folows....
OS - AKU 3.2 (extracted from Faria's Beta 4 Rom) Faria - I do not want to use, nor will I share this rom, because OS was extracted from your masterpiece. This Rom was just to test, and will not hit anyone elses device.
IPL - 2.26 (extracted from latest T-Mobile Rom)
SPL - 2.26 (extracted from latest T-mobile Rom)
GSM - 2.47 (Again, came from Faria's 3.2 Beta 4)
Extended Rom - My Own - Since I'm Cingular, included the GPRS and MMS settings, also added Memmaid, Battery Status, Wireless today plugin, and Molskis Performance and Registry Tweaks)
I like the simplicity of this rom so far, I have tested everything out there, and some Rom include too many goodies that I dont use, and others dont have enough. This Rom is fast and functinal.
Faria & Molski: I will not share this rom because your hard work and efforts are included in it. I would like to see where I could find the base AKU 3.2 Rom, and start over, so all work and everything included in this Rom is truly original.
Feedback would be great!

if you decide to release this rom for cingular i'd be intersted right now im using molski's 30mb rom on my cingular 8125 and i love it.
So to know that you based some of your rom off his and faria's its like a dream

It's good to hear, more of us should follow your example and read more. There's a lot of people that come into this forum and ask the same questions that have been asked 1000 times and all because they don't bother to read a bit, while there's no such thing as a stupid question..... asking the same questions over and over again is really annoyies most people.

good for you! see what a little searching gets you these days...perhaps others might learn from this (well who am I kidding right?)
I like the respect/props being given to Faria & Molski too...perhaps if you come up with some that great and they both give their consent then others could enjoy your ROM
well done

I think that it's quite obvious. There's so many threads about the same stuff and on the other hand the "Search" really sucks for almost every forum script there is available, also for vBulletin. Some of you write really nice how-to's, they are really much easier to deal with than reading the whole thread with (very necessary) comments like "not working here" between. Wiki would also be better place to keep basic stuff (in this case cooking and updating ROM) data available. My bottom line is (I guess ) The forum structure should be re-designed...something like this:
Wizard: basic questions, usage
Wizard: software
Wizard: accessories
Wizard: ROM updating
G3
G4
Wizard: ROM cooking
G3
G4
Wizard: ROM releases
etc...
Just my opinion, don't kill me And don't get me wrong..you all are doing incredible work here and you deserve all the credits. This all is just too BIG for the current forum structure...

Latest Stable Rom assistance please?

Hey all,
First please let me say I am not looking for anyone to tell me what is the BEST cooked rom out there. I know each one has specific plusses and minuses that are suited to particular purposes.
Also, I have looked through this forum. I have read most of the WIKI, and spent an hour reading through various posts. However, I haven't found a concise discussion of this as many people are focusing on cooked ROMs.
I am getting a Tilt and from my reading so far I am pretty sure I want to reflash it with an HTC Rom. I want the TouchFlo and some of the other stuff that the HTC offers. I have some general questions though:
1) Is there a downside to putting HTC Rom on a Tilt? I know there are some little issues that have solutions (like keyboard remap) but will I experience any instability or call/data quality issues running HTC over ATT ROM?
2) Relating to #1...can/should I just keep the ATT ROM and can I then add everything from the HTC ROM (from cabs?). I don't know which solution yields the best stability.
3) Is there a reason why I would go with a 6.0 ROM instead of 6.1 ROM? I would like to believe that the 6.1 is the newer, better stuff...but maybe not?
4) What is the latest 6.1 official ROM? Is it RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship?
5) When it comes to "official" shipped ROMs and Radio firmware from ATT and HTC, is there any good reason not to use the latest versions? That is are any of the new versions a step backwards in terms of stability/performance?
I do not want to use any cooked firmware (at least initially). I would like to start with a vanilla shipped firmware and then add/remove things myself. If this comes down to me cooking my own ROM so be it, but I would like to start with the basic.
My goal is to have a ROM that will be fast and stable, with as few lock-ups or resets as possible.
Thanks for your assistance.

1)i dont believe so it depends on the radio i believe
2)i think u should flash cuz it'll remove all the atnt junk..bloatware n such
3)it all depends on personal pref...i did cuz i wanted the threaded sms function
4)i dont know.sorry
5)i think they're all pretty much the same..just gotta test the differnt versions to find out
most of the cooked roms i tried arent as bad...not many lockups or resets
i'm still a noob at flashing tho so still trying things out

Where to start?

Ok, some of you may remember me from the Wizard world. I am the chef for the "Jag" series and "NTS" of roms there. They are old roms I know, but then i decided to be stupid and went to the SP world with a Moto Q9h, 6 months in, I miss my touch screen. I have an AT&T Tilt on the way now. So, to the main point of this post.
Where do I start with unlocking the Tilt, and also, Since I am on AT&T what is the deal with the radios. I know I want to use a non standard ROM on this phone since bloat ware pisses me off.
How do i determine what radio with what rom and so on?
Thanks for your help. I have tried to search the forum for answers but I am totally lost here. Guess I need to leave behind the world of the Wizard and one radio for all roms. LOL.
I missed you guys!!!!

Re the unblocking I think that id the CID Unlock guff you have to run (don't quote me, my phone was already unlocked)
Then read the pages on flash tutorial which turns out to be easy to do and then pick a ROM to flash and away you go

Wow 738 posts and you don't know how to read stickys.
Check the links in my sig (and just about anyone elses) or the sticky in just about every forum for the kaiser.
welcome back.

Ok, So just to test my understanding, I need to check each ROM release and see which HardSPL they used to make the ROM.
Example:
The Garmin.DK.1 WM 6.1 Premium ROM states the instructions are to install HardSPL 3.56. I have read how to do this and it seems pretty self explanitory in the instructions. After that, then I flash the rom, once the rom is complete, I do a hard reset on the phone.
Am I correct in those steps?
Now, my next question.
I have read here in the wiki that I need to ensure that I am using the correct Radio for my phone. Confused here a little bit.
Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 has this little disclaimer on the second post,
There will be 3 roms compatable with the latest AT&T Radios 1.65.14.06 and Radio 1.65.17.10
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does this mean I have to hunt down a specific version of the radio in order to use this ROM?
Thanks again for the help.
738 posts does not mean I should know how to read a sticky. Most of the stickys on the Wizard forum werent stickys when I read them....
And I have worked with alot of the authors of those stickys too.

There are a few things you want to do:
First, install a hardspl I would recommend 3.28, 3.29, or 3.56
Second, security unlock your device
Third, Flash a Rom. A majority of the rom's here come with radio's. The best radio's available right now are 1.65.20.29 (great with getting a quick gps fix and fairly stable) 1.58.25.17 (which is compatible with almost every cooked rom here which offers great battery life and fairly stable reception at least in my area) or the newest available radio which is in my signature (offers decent gps fix, great reception and a decent battery life.
It is easier to learn as you go rather than attempt to cram it in all at once.
Good luck

Thank you red.
I just dont want to brick my tilt first attempt. I guess what im looking for is a quick rom, very stable and has no bloatware.
I think iwill work on the device with standard rom first so that I can learn the device itself. Then i will start reading rom release posts...... every page.
I like to have all info before i take the first step. expecially on something this expensive.

Just a little light - Rom choices

I'm sure this was posted many times before - I'm ready to wipe my wing.. i know i know, RTFM - I'm an engineer ... I'm looking for a shortcut to the most appropriate ROM for my wing needs.. Please advise, many friggen posts to choose from... Need standard apps, exchange email a must - also need office apps.. any suggestions ? So sick of running outta mem!!!! any suggestions are appreciated.... can I keep outlook with any custom Roms?
"so give me, just a little light" band/song????...
-Oldie

my guess is: any rom will do, just pick one of the newer fully loaded ones, they come packed with office standard (or better) apps and with all roms exchange mail should work. i believe the latest is open touch 6.5 biggy (i use aserg 12, but it is for herald, so you'd need a keyboard fix)

Yes to all your questions. Roms support full functionality of the phone.
I reccommend either ASERG Rom or ITJE Roms.

That bring another question, what is ITJE's newest (most updated) rom? I found a thread that has all his old rom and it said not support anymore.

just use the one with the highest build number; they are generally the newest.
in this case, this is the one (i think)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407646

ITJE bought himself a Kaiser .. so he's been a little busy in that forum .. as well as having a "real life" ...
Aserg disappeared too ... but his v12 rom is fast, stable and bull**** free... and I've been using it for over a very long time now.

I know. Had been using his rom for awhile. No doubt one of the best, but I always want to try the newest and most updated roms Is there a way we can kind of recook Aserg's rom, just do the updates maybe?

itje has a polaris, too.
ttran has a...... 8525?

If you your unsure about flashing a new rom I found when I first got my wing that changing the page pool size and getting battery status helped a lot. Its very easy to do and you still have the standard Tmo rom. If you want to flash a rom I would go with ttran's OT 5 original. Its basically the stock rom but made a lot better. Hope this helps.

Got a New Diamond. Where to start ?

So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !

update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.
end of topic.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!

Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.

each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/
I'll try them out.
But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?
Thx !

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?

Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)

Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

read!?! nobody told me i was suppose to read before trying to flash my phone for the first time?!! jk
yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...

I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.

I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.
