Hi, Im new here its a great forum.
Im not sure what is the best rom to use at the mo Im using Helmis vanilla 3.5 rom.
Can somebody please tell me the difference between Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.5 (v.1.4 beta) and the Vanilla Version.
Im using the vanilla version, but what am I losing out by not using the 3.5 version?.
After looking at past threads it seems that the vanilla version is less error prone and needs no patches.
If this is the case why doesnt everybody use the vanilla version?, I feel there must be advantages using the other one please help make up my mind.
Or should I use another i.e logout, or another please help.
Thank you very much
bit of help please guys
trye them both and then decide which one suites you more, the vanilla version has no extra software in it, and regular one has some aditional apps, so try them both and decide for yourself.

Hello all!
New to the site and new to my xda 11s.
Just a couple of quick questions, what is the best update on here for my xda? Read a couple of people who have posted on here about thier updates and dont really know if i should update it at all?
Also, is there software availible from this site?
Be glad for all your views
Cheers
Ian
Welcome at xda-developers.com,
You can find answers to all of your quiestions in WIKI
ok, just took a look, and ill be quite honest with you, all kinda confusing lol
All im reaaly interested in is if its worth ugrading the software to wm5. I have read good and bad poins about it, like, runs slow, not everythin works, etc
Dont wantg to ruin the handset so other peoples opinions are helpful to me
Cheers
You can try upgrading to WM5, and if you do not like it you can always downgrade to the latest WM2003SE rom there are few good versions of WM5 in the ftp try them and decide which OS you like more
TuMa 1.3, IMOA.
Seems the most stable WM5 ROM, though it does have one of two annoying bugs they are no worse then what WM2003SE has. It's not the fastest on a new install but it doesn't slow down much once you start using it.
cheers matey. Which version do you run?
ok, thanx again for that. Could you possibly paste a link into this or give me some directions on where i can get it from?
TuMa 1.3

There is a cool WIKI guide on how to install and use this ROM at -
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
There is also a new version of this ROM being developed (1.5 as 1.4 was too buggy) but this isnt in Alpha mode yet, so you might want to upgrade to 1.3 now and wait till 1.5 has been tested and becomes stable.
are there any other upgrades?

pls read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel 8)
Hi people, Im new here,
My name is Mike and I have just bought an O2 xdaIIs and love it. I am wondering about upgrades for it. What would you recommend? All the details are in my sig (i think)
Any help appreciated

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.
Hi, I just now got my fist HTC Diamond 2(topaz). It is my first windows mobile phone and I was really excited about upgrading to 6.5, but it is not coming out any soon . However I am little confused how to do that. So can you tell which rom should I use for my HTC topaz. Please step by step... thx... Would prefer most stable Rom,
Is there also dictionary somewhere.. I don't know what all these words me... cooked...radio.. and so on..
(I googled but roms come out very fast.... and couldn't find any good tutorials..)

....first install HardSLP!
....second:
Radio Rom: resposible for gsm signal, wifi...
...third:
Cooked Roms:
Our Chiefs are always cooking roms with the newest applications and share them to us.
In the benchmark you can see which rom is the fastest. But I woud suggest you just try them out!
Are you 100 % sure that as a newbie you really need to flash new rom first? Why not to get to know your device a bit before making any changes?

well maybe I will use 6.1 for a month then switch to 6.5..
thx.. helped a lot
probably in september we will see new phones with wm6.5, I've read about it in czech forum today (official information from czech office of microsoft)
Hello everyone in the Blackstone thread.
Since I bought my Touch HD I always wanted the defice to perform as best as possible. During the last year I have tried many many ROMs and I have to say - none was bugfree (found one almost perfect - for me . Some bugs could be easily left forgotten as these weren't anyhow cruical.
But some were just heavily noticeable. These were from the WM6.5 world - generally.
After starting to look on the stability and performace, I have realized WM6.1 is still the best system for Touch HD - very fast, no unneeded options, great response.
I am looking right now for the latest WM6.1 ROM with latest HTC Sense 2.1. Or preferably for someone who is still cooking in WM6.1 world for Touch HD. Unfortunately I cannot find one (Dutty's v4.3 FINAL is a little bit outdated, and that's the latest one I have found ;/ ).
Anyone knows about such person?
If not I am going to try my best to cook such ROM, so I would appreciate any comments if there would be anyone interested and/or anyone willing to help me to reach the point. I am avaliable to spend as much time as possible to get this done.
Please leave a comment if you find this interesting for you.

i know raptordin is doing that
w6.1 whit sense2.1
he said he is almost finished
so wait a little more he will post his rom
Look at the Topix thread, Kwbr has been cooking 6.1 roms for quite some time. His 3.1.2 rom is supposedly bugfree!
I'm not sure if he's gonna update it anytime soon though.
I have to agree after months of rom flashing with manila 2.5. wm6.5 and 6.5.1...I did an official rom flash and had a play with the old 6.1 and wow it was fast and highly responsive.
so yes I would also be interested in a 6.1 kitchen with manila 2.1
where do we find one
btw almost forgot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
it is discontineud and dont know where it is to the things from now but its 6.1 whit sense2.5
its sayd its usable for every day you could always test till the 6.1 whit 2.1 is out
Sorry, don't want Sense 2.5 (very slow on HD), only 2.1 - it's enough for me.
But thanks for recommendation
i think the final version of topix wm6.1 is what youre looking for.

Sorry but KWBR will not be updating his 6.1 version anymore he has moved to 6.5 and has sold his HD.
I constantly keep coming back to this KWBR 3.1.2 rom
So fast, so reliable and so much more suited to our Touch HD's
I can simply use my device as it was intended, quickly take a picture, quickly review it, phone works, sms sends, review ballistically fast, all software just runs, soft reset is extremely fast, wifi connects without fail, background all tabs is simple, loads of themes....
But occasionally I miss the glossy Manila 2.5 with all its fluffy weather animations, but not a lot
If I could find a Kitchen for the latest 6.1 I would start learning to chef myself
here is a kitchen with WM 6.1 and Sense 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561056
unfortunately (for you) it's in ITA
Look on my signature...
Which kitchen?
OK, it seems I am going to build my own ROM. I would like to try to use some cooked ROMs as the base and continue from this point. Anyone knows how to proceed?
I have downloaded few kitchens already (jCEspi's, Ervius, osKitchen, PPCkitchen...) but having problems to use them properly. I haven't found any detailed howto yet, only some basics from the thread or attached readme files. So far "try-fail" style doesn't get me anywhere.
I would appreciate any help with some good howtos.
Thanks,
Gabriel
This might help

It maybe of help in getting started. Not sure if it contains a 6.1 Kitchen but Kwbr has compiled what would appear to be a great tutorial on how to cook.
kwbr tutorial isn't needed.
Basically all that is needed to cook - decompile ROM and compile it back (imgfstools, search in dev&hhack).
Kitchens is sometimes more pain than help for novice cook.
Cool, will get through these, thanks.
and im totally helpless, there's so much to install and things you can do with this mobile. i ordered a used one, wich already got flashed with another rom and stuff. is this bad? can i recover the original files? is it a good choice to do so, if its possible?
whats the "best" and by that i mean the best working firmware for this mobile?
or the most up to date?
why sould i use the android system if i could use the htc one?
pros/cons?
i have absolutly no idea whats good and whats not.
are there any comparsions online, any newbie threads to read?
there are so many tweaks and roms and fixxed and all the stuff i have no odea what its for.
can anyone help me?
Well, you cant go wrong with the official Sony Ericsson rom which came with the phone R3A is the latest one. But if you want Windows Mobile 6.5 then flash a custom rom, there are many to choose from in the custom rom section. I cant comment on android on the device because i havent tried it but i'm sure there are a few issues and bugs.
Personally i tried many custom roms but all of them had mini problems which made them bad so the one that worked best for me was the stock one which you can find in the rom section also
I would flash the May 6 ROM from Williyung as a good starting point. It's a completely stable and bug-less 6.5.5 ROM, about as updates as you can get.
826x.blogspot.com
Scroll down to the May 6 ROM
thank you both for the very useful answers.
i think ill wait until i can see the official one,
and after that ill choose if i stay with the regular one or the Williyung version.

What you're going to want to do if you want a STABLE device (free of eye candy) is make sure and stay with a 6.1 rom (official or otherwise).
6.5 has no real advantages that SPB Mobile Shell cant add while keeping your device stable.
(that being said I'm currently running an Energy Rom with 6.5)
826x clean 6.5.5 ROMs by Williyung are 100% stable. I have NEVER had to reset. There are bugless.
