u can try helmi_c aku3.2 which is the latest rls, very fast and stable. it's a very nice ROM. there is some issue with BlueTooth, but the rest is all good.

Hi Mike,
visit http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel and browse through forum. U know we cant give u any advice if we dont know what are u looking for (any problems,discontent?)
You can upgrade to the latest version of wm2003se (see the wiki) and than consider if u wanna upgrade to wm2005.

i'd say enjoy your unit using wm2003se for a while.
and when the time comes that you are looking for some more, then go for wm5... and the latest radio version.... it would seem like you have a new phone altogether.

I would take a call depending on the way you use your phone. How much of bluetooth you use, how much of wifi, do you use a stereo headset, do you use a GPS attachment, what kind of applications you run etc. Please note that if you go through the the complete threads of a particular post helmi 1.3 or 1.2 or 1.1 you will come to know the advantages and drawbacks of upgrading and can then take a wise call.
Hope this Helps

Dear Sir,
I'm running Ivan V4R3, may i know which is faster if compare with helmi_c aku3.2. And as my know helmi is pre-install some program, can u specfily. Thanks!

Ivans rom with ramdisk is very stable and fast wm5 version, and i lie it a lot, but AKU updates fixes many bugs in the OS and Security of the mobile device, so i prefer latest AKU 2.3, 3.0 3.2 roms.
The best way to get your rom to fit your needs is to build a custom one with Bepe's ktchen
@Mike
First i want to welcome you to the forums, you will learn a lot here as i did!
First step that you have take is to read WIKI, a lot of stuff is explained there. For you there are 2 possible types of roms, WM2003SE or WM5. By mine personal opinion the best roms by now are Ivans v4 r3 with ramdisk, and Helmi's 1.3 AKU 3.2 roms. You can try and decide for yourself.

anybody in here interested in cooking an AKU3.x Rom update for the Charmer?

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.

Newbie Questions!

Hi!
Installed Core 2.0n om my Qtek 9100 and It's working just fine!

...

AKU 3.3 is WM 5, so no if you have WM6 AKU3.3 would not be an upgrade for you, though it may work better depending on what you use your device for. I don't think there is even a 1.x AKU for WM6 yet. Most threads tell you what features are new or changed on the first post of the rom thread. It is up to the individual users to place a value on these features and determine what is right for them.
I would suggest you don't worry about AKU just read through the threads and find out which rom offers the best iterations of the features you want/need for your device.

LQQking for a Clean WM5 AKU 3.3 ROM Wizard

Does anybody have a clean aku 3.3 wm5 rom like the one that came out in Germany for their T-Mobile customers?? I know a developer named Mohamed Fathy from Florida and hes working on translating it into English and i cant wait for him to finish it. If anyone can help with this that would be great. I know everybody wants WM6 but i think this would be a lot more stable and use less RAM.

Upgrading to wm6 on Xda IIs

hi mates. is it possible to upgrade my Xda IIs with Windows mobile 5 or 6.? right now it has 2003.
please help me if its possible. or tell me some site where i will get some step-by-step proceidure.
Regards

I know that there is a WM6 for BA out there for a week, but have not tried out yet. Try search around here in this forum first for the WM5, which is very rich

There is NO WM6 for the XDAIIs (Blue Angel).
There are numerous WM5 ROMS for the BA though.

There is, and I have it as well, dude. Some Vietnamese at handheldvn.com forum are using it and discussing quite a bit on it. Myself have not tried it out, because I have no time for the moment.
(http://www.handheld.com.vn/forum/showthread.php?t=55894)
link for the ROM is here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/15740822/f5c66922/ROM_53505_AKU_352_WM6_.html
I am surprise why it is not announced in this welknown forum?? Is the one at handheldvn a fake one?

Thanx a lot dude. but is that file is in english? i dont think so. and also it will work for my XDA IIS. and also in case of some trouble. should i downgrade to my old rom.? just let me know. i also have the old rom image.

Yes, English
The forum is in Vietnamese, but the ROM is entirely in English. I have seen some screen shots, and they are all English. Have fun, dude. I am waiting for a vacation when I can make change to this one

I doubt it is windows mobile 6, the guy has not shown the version in any of there screeshots and apart from that, one of the screenshot attached here , dats xplodes R5 screenshot

if i remember well...it was said that the new rom is about 64MBs...however you can download from the link mentioned a 34Mb file in which extrom folder contains a 7Mb camera template cab...

I've tried it
I was also quite doubtful there would be an R6 for our BA, but since I'm about to re-install it, I decided to download it and give it a try.
And I confirm that it's still WM5. Some of the icons have changed, but it's still the same old thing with some WM6 icons.
Some details:
OS build: 15706.3.5.2
the default device name = PDAViet. Which is a known ROM "builder" on the UNI Forum.
Need some more testing, but all and all it seems to be working.
So, maybe it's all new, but it may have a few elements you may care for.

It works...
Hey maaan, thanks a lot, this ROM is perfect... I have Upgraded it at about 30 minutes ago, and i'm trying it.... I think it is not WM5 with WM6 icons, because everything is like in WM6....perfect, wifi works (i have tried to find wifi-net, it found it in 2 seconds...), BT too (i have tried only with my USB-BT on PC, and connect it), GUI is beautiful, nice themes.... PERFECT....
only one thing is bad - there isn't any FILE EXPLORER, but you can install total commander with active sync and then you can search your SD card or memory Phone works too (I have 1.15 Radio ROM)
And one thing which i don't like (but i had got same problem with explode ROM too) : Camera has got one white pixel.... so big white dot on the photo but nevermind..... this is super ROM Thank you again buddy...

So, it is right, it is WM5 with really realistic WM6 Interface.... but still perfect ROM

Thanks for the recent posts
Thanks all for the recent posts. I saw quite many positive applause on this version at the Vietnamese forum. Take care!

I knew WM6 doesn't yet exist for BA...
I'll give this one a miss....

yes thanks a lot. i also upgraded my O2 XDA IIS and its working perfect. great Rom . one little question. when i display my syatem info. its showing 96 MB ram instead of 127 Mb. and also. its not displaying any Extrom version.
i wrote all my info below.. so give me some info about this.
but overall the rom version is perfect thanks a lot.
ROM VERSION 5.35.05.WWE
ROM DATE 05/08/07
RADIO VERSION 1.12.00
PROTOCOL VERSION 1337.42
EXTROM VERSION

Thanks, xplode, I'll keep an eye for you in case you got stuck with Vietnamese

also for great WM6 theme you all can use the brand new Wisbar Advance 3 Beta2 it has Wm6 theme builtin

Explode please, can you upload it? Or is it possible to find it on the web?

when i was using 2003 on my O2 XDA IIS. i perform hard reset by pressing the top power button and the reset button. and now i have upgraded to wm2005 and again i am doing this. but it wont work. its only soft resetting. so anyone know how to perform hard reset. so i will get my registry setting to defaults. cause i made many mess in the registry for tweaking
