Hi,
I know that ROM images are not hosted on this website no more because of ms, but I'd like to know where I can get the helmi 1.3.2 rom image.
I'd like this image because I had this rom before and I pretty much like all of it and would like to switch back to this.
If someone has this and or more roms please let me know.
thanks
Yeah.. it's a biatch trying to find the roms now that MS have stuck their nose in.
Did helmi get around to releasing his 1.5? (edit.. hmmm... still seems to be 1.4 b... further optimising, keep it up helmi, if I ever ug to wm5 it'll certainly be your rom I'll use.)

maybe [ this help?]
i took it from here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi
Unfortunately it's not there any more.
The xda devs had to remove their rom library from the server.
So we're all kinda playing hide and seek with the roms.
well, we can grab the name that was used there, and try to find on emule
Well so far I've found this.
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1053302/?show_files=1&page=1&ref=1178474295#file_list
(Confirmed.. It has Helmi's 1.4 and xplode beta r1 plus a WHOLE lot more. )
And helmi's 1.4 on it's own.

great, nothing is lost for ever
Many people made mirror of XDA FTP server. In any case I keep copy for my own use, if anybody need any ROMs (not only BA).
That's really good to know.. if I need something I'll pm you (if you don't mind. )
One question though... what's the latest most stable and functional wm2003se rom that you have (Xda IIs).
Thx.
for me WM2003 cannot be called stable, especially compared to wm5 for BA. Last wm2003 I used was one of the v1.40 from Imate and it was acceptable, but still ANY WM5 was much more stable.

I currently have an 8125 that was flashed with the imate 2.16.9.1 WWE ROM.
I was just wondering if any of the newer ROMs out there would be worth upgrading to?
I dont need any customazations like fonts or ringers. Just maybe an AKU2 rom (ms push); wich most are now anyways.
Im just looking for speed; and maybe a better radio version.
My computer crashed a while back so ive been out of whats hot/not in the ROMs lately.
Any suggestions about newer roms that would be faster/better would be great.
Oh btw, i guess to prevent installation of the EXT rom you just soft reset before it loads?
Thanks.
BTW - ive done alot of post reading but still havent found a good topic on current roms and whats good/bad about them.
Bump- it would be nice if after 22 views that someone had something to say positive.
Thanks.

yeah, thas correct. you hit up the softrest right before it starts customizing, when it pops up that message box.
im using the latest official qtek rom, and it's stellar. definitely ran into the unreliable alarm bug for the first time, but as i understand it, thats not a single-rom issue, but rather is universal.
i say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. the only change i could suggest is going to qtek 208 test, which is a mite slower but supports bluetoof a2dp.
I'm just curious with all the WM5 buzz and such. Besides seeing "windows mobile 5" are there really any significant differences from WM2003se? Other than lack of software for WM5.
I've done massive amounts of flashing from video cards to motherboards so that's no problem, I'm not here to be a lazy bum and mooch software.
I will say that my 4 of my buddies work with MS mobile department here in STL, MO. They all live by wm2003se, and state WM5 won't be worth touching until next year. (Even for WM5 based phones unlike these)
My other question is for all the flash gods on this site. Out of all the current WM5 roms available here, what would you choose if :
Rarely use bluetooth
Play games
Watch video playback
basic phone services
no camera
no radio
I've 3 of these and would like to compare a couple side by side to see the benchmarks with these user-created roms vs 2003se

Of couse your buddirs live with 2003 because there are no wm5 for BA , we had here base on text rom by HTC which came from last year and a lot of people in here to made it work like Universal or Wizard,you can ask your buddies maybe they dont had wm5 rom for BA. :wink: :wink:
I dont think anyone in MS or HTC will make wm5 rom for BA , if you had buddies why you not ask them about AKU3.0 rom for Universal and Wizard ?
haha do what
We're very Close friends of 14yrs fortunately. We have no loyalty to your boy Billy Gates, Sorry dude hah. I'm sure they are not just trying to get me to buy WM5 products haha
I just like to see forums and the modifed MS WM5 stacks (tisk tisk ) and actually benchmark/test to see who knows what, or who's just throwing something out
As for the other modifed roms you're speaking of, Sell and upgrade to faster model
a QVGA to VGA is like going from radio wave cable to high-definition formatting.
Yo
I will say that MS would be lucky to have any of these developers working for them, cheers to you all!
@mwang, if they are working in the dev department i see no reason why they couldn't be making thier statement based on other wm5 devices, or even have these roms theirselves. Anyway, right now i would go with either ivan's or helmi's. If you try antyhing else you will see why.
I'd totally agree with the above...
Ivan's (or thingonasprings version with the RAMdisk) for speed and basic stability
helmi_c's as it has the new AKU2.3 base with Push Mail etc (but still in dev stage so not 'meant' to be as stable, although I've had no issues as yet!)
I've also found TuMa 1.4 very good, but mainly as I use the BT functionality quite a bit which hasn't ben sorted on the newer ROM's yet.

What Is The Best And New Rom For Cingular 8125...and Best Wm6 For It
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295575
You first have to know whether you have a G3 or a G4 , you dont want to turn your 8125 into an expensive paper weight. Follow the threads in the wizard forums. Read read and read before you do anything.

Define "Best". Your definition is most likely going to be different than mine. So your needs and wants will not match mine... You need to just take the time to read and look at the options. If you want a ROM that gives you new features and pretty much works right out of the box then stay away from all of the WM6 ROMs for now and go grab Faria's AKU 3.3 (its a sticky at the top). It will setup your GPRS, MMS, and everythign and you'll pretty much be ready to rock and roll when you finish the install (beyond specific apps you use, but some of those (or similar) may already be there too). Its stable, quick and slick.
But if you want Bleeding edge, don't mind doing tweaks and dealing with odd issues, then look at the WM6 ROMs. Currently Most Beautiful Edition (MBE) is the one I run and am overall happy with it (its not perfect though and I find new odd things with it periodically). The Underground edition also seems good, and a new release is supposed to be coming. Also, the Hermes XDA Live ROM is supposed to be being ported and could show up at any time (and from what I've read, that is a really nice ROM on the Hermes, so hopefully will be as good for us on the Wizard).
And with all that said, don't for get the various Molski ROMs out there too. I haven't tried one yet, but everyone that uses them raves about them...

Spend some time reading and browsing the forums. The stickies at the top of this forum should be enough to answer your question.

lol sorry about that, i just switched to the htc wizzard, lol im not that of a noob!
Just wondering why you guys are not waiting until MS officially releases WM6 instead of installing this beta/pre-release? Wouldn't it be better (and cleaner) to let MS fix all the bugs and issues?
I don't know if that will happen, it depends on the carrier. They bake their own ROMs after MS does all the coding. The 8525 is out so it seems like that would get WM6 first.
I would like it to happen and look forward to it though.

I see. Just like back when WM5 came on the scene and some carriers didn't want to offer(or sell) its customers the upgrade for their WM2003 SE devices.
i just upgraded to the cingular stock 2.25.11 rom and after losing all my applications i wanted to look into what's out there for custom roms, i see all sorts of different versions (faria, crossbow, most beautiful, underground, etc) and i don't know really what to get, i'm tired of my phone being so slow, and i like to use it for the internet/messaging/emulation and music playing.
is there a standard rom that everybody kinda uses, or would anybody mind pointing me in the right direction? thanks.
Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. Almost all custom roms have some issues of one sort or another (no offense to the Chefs!). You really have to read and see what roms have what you want (or if you want a basic rom that you will then customize). If you want one that just works, then try Faria's AKU 3.3 . Molski's ROMs are supposed to be excellent, but I've never tried one myself (yet). The current "rage" is the WM6 roms. I ran on the MBE one for some time and really enjoyed it, but it took a lot of tweaking and stuff to get it to where I could live with it (ie: its not a clean an simple install). The new Faria "the real thing" is what I'm running now and I really like it. For the most part it worked out of the box (I had to add MMS setup for Cingular, but thats pretty common) then layer on the apps I use. So far so good.
I will probably take a backup of this one and try out mUn's ROM this weekend.
I'm sure that isn't quite the answer you wanted, but maybe it gives you some idea... Good luck!
thank you so very much for responding.
what does WM6 have anything that's really incredible about it that makes it worth using the 'real thing' MOD?
also, what do page polls mean? 8mb 6mb and 4mb?
would you recommend the AKU 3.3 ROM or the Moloki ROM?
thanks for your response, that mUn ROM also looks nice, keep us posted.

i found 2.3 aku to be fastest. superrom1.1 or Molski final 2.3
how was the mUn rom dude?

I've been on the mUn ROM since Saturday morning and so far no major complaints. The midlet manager doesn't work well with the Gmail app so I'm going to downgrade it, and I had an issue with my phone vibrating and not ringing yesterday but a soft reset seems to have cured that. Otherwise its very fast (even when it wasn't overclocked) and seems overall very stable. I'll probably stay on this until the Faria Vanilla real thing comes out, then may have to look at playing musical ROMs again
hello everyone!
since two weeks, i am theproud owner of my first pocket pc, a HTC Blue Angel!
i am now running wm2003, but after reading all those posts about upgrading, i am starting to think about doing so myself! but why should i do this?
what are the big advatages of wm2005 compared to wm2003?
are there disadvantages as well? (regarding stability and bugs?)
i would be really glad if yome of the more experienced ba users here could write down their pros & cons for running WM5/WM3 on the BA!
btw: i read thru xplode's upgrading guide (Guide.pdf) and in the end ("side notes") it says, that i could totally screw my ba when i exceed free sectors of the rom while cooking.... what excactly does this mean? and how can i avoid exceeding free sectors?
I am really looking forward to read your opinions about the two os...
THX IN ADVANCE!
krztf
I would definately go for wm5
main reason is the different memory handling
(no more lose of data after battery runs down)
Just download one of the ready made roms versions.
(as I understand, you are not ready to cook your own rom)
and be sure to read the wiki first
(and this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243732 )
happy flashing
Wout
I could tell you this, my biggest reason to flash my BA to Wm05 because it has a better UI. N my 2nd biggest reason is because a lot of new programs written for wm05
Anyway if you afraid to brick your BA, I suggest you read carefully the wiki n don't use kitchen Rom, just use another rom that already cook by someone else. You could use Rom made by baniaczek or xplode.
I hoped it helps.
Well how should i say... i dont believe anyone here is still using 2003. Would this be enough for you? Try it, if you dont like it, downgrade back to 2003.
WM5 on Blue Angel is nice. But xplode rom and baniaczek rom are not really stable at the moment.
Tried both rom both got different problems... so I recommend you to wait for final release WM5 rom for BA thats free of bug.(Would it happen?)
Else if you wanted to try, you can try upgrading it... its really nice
Main reason is 60mb free ram..
and no more memory lost after battery going down
aha
thanks for all those answers!!!
but to be honest, i am still not sure if i should upgrade or not....
all those postings (here an din other threads) regarding pda overall speed, bluetooth and wifi problems, etc. make me kinda nervous! and i think, i am still anxious about frying my blue angel,... noobish but what can i do!
regarding the advantage of more free ram and no memory loss after battery's empty: is this really true?! always thought, i would need certain hardware as well, to benefit from this features...?
hope this discussion keeps goin'...
regards,krz

I'm using 2003se (rollback wm5->2003), because found some strange problems with baniachek's wm5 bluetooth profiles. ...
all the gory details ....
hi dasboot!
could you please describe those "strange problems"?
btw: does anyone know, if connecting to wlan routers works better with wm2005? as u can read in my other thread HERE, i have serious issues to solve here...
keep on posting!
krz
im rollbacked too.WM5 is nice looking..but for BA useless.
i found that WM3 work much better on it-and more important-the battery time:
wm5=max 8 hours,with mp3 6h
wm3=up to 16h with mp3.normal use 24/36h (older BA )
i use wlan only sometimes on hotspots-and only for e-mails.not a important criteria for me.
but,damn it..i would try out WM6 on it.suddenly it is unable to convert it to BA.
WM5 is not a software, it is one huge BAG!
wm5 is really good and I won't come back to wm2003. I have the R2 by baniaczeck and it works to me like a charm! I advice you to upgrade to wm5
