Ahoy mateys,
There's a new custom ROM up on the ftp. It is based on AKU 2.3, originating from a T-MO beta ROM. The core OS however is not beta and is the final AKU 2.3 release.
This ROM feels much better to me than 2.25 did. It will take a few days to really know if it's more stable, but after about 12 hours with it, it feels right. Please only install this ROM if you can deal with potential oddness.
A few interesting notes, and some stats:
-A2DP was already integrated into the OS (no more add-on needed), and works mighty nice with my HT820s, although it sucks CPU
-Auto timezone is active - disable it if your towers insist you're somewhere you aren't
-Boot time is pretty fast, about as fast as 2.25
****THIS NEXT STATEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD****
-The reported ROM build is 2.24. However the core OS build is newer than that of the leaked Cingular ROM version 2.25. This is because the source carrier (T-MO) happens to be at a different place in their numbering. Again, the OS build is newer than the one in Cingular ROM 2.25.xx.
***********************************************************
-The radio ROM is 2.25.11, the same as was in Cingular's 2.25.
-Vibrate while sleeping still works
-Manual phone network selection is re-enabled
-The GPRS/EDGE indicator is now a little different: In the title bar, the usual "E" or "G" indicator will tell you which of the two is available. Added was a very small "E" or "G" over the signal strength bars to indicate an active data connection. This is either new, or my short attention span never noticed it.
-OS reports as: OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
-Contains Cingular customizations for accounts, etc
-Added: themes, ringers, OmapClock w/ shortcuts, improved Task Manager, contact multi-select, wireless today screen item
-Makes toast, but not waffles (yet)
Alrighty then, here you go:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Up...U_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST2.exe
For the adventurous, let me know how it works for you, and whether the toast is any good. I don't run much in the way of third party apps, so can't comment on issues with them.
EDIT 06/06/06:
I replaced the T-MO sourced 2.25 radio with the Cingular sourced 2.25 radio since some folks say they get better performance. Link to renamed file udpated.
Also includes a softkey control panel app to change softkey mappings.
One more quick note - please don't PM me regarding this or other ROMs. Aks in the forums for the benefit of all. Questions that aren't answered elsewhere in the forum WILL be answered by any number of the great folks arouns here.
[email protected]!
Thanks a lot, i will try it this afternoon.
applying now .... thanks for the great work
can you make a rom with all your customization (themes, rings, etc) but WITHOUT any Cingular stuff? I'd like to use the ROM on a different network.
Thanks
PS: is it possible to find, somewhere on this or other forum, a complete guide on how to cook a wizard rom?
I've searched extensively this forum and now i think (or i hope) i have all the knowledge and the tools i need to start however i'm scared i can destroy my phone with a bad rom.
Thanks, bye
you rock !
installing now.... i use spb pocket plus i will give feed back on interaction with that ..

so now i have tested it, works very fine and stable on my T-Mobile Vario. Thanks for that.
So far sumitter this ROM seems to rock hard and fast! BT hasn't shut down and it does boot quicker. I'm gonna start playing with this newer Clearview and see if I can get by without that Adobe Reader... stratnge that they never updated it, huh??? ... kinda like MS Voice 1.5 ...WTF?
Thanks bro!!

Greetings!
Just upgraded from your 2.17 ROM and this one seems to be a lot faster especially on bootup.
Thank you very much!
Nice work summiter Only been on the wizard scene for 2 weeks and Ive already noticed who the "daddy" is I do have one request though, could you maybe list what files are in the extended rom and there function so to avoid installing Cingular setting ect
Summiter, just noticed that inserting or removing the memory card will wake up the 8125. Nice!
Now, if only the keyboard backlight could be made to stay on for 30 seconds instead of 5...

thanks for the update, will install this later...
Great, I was just about to install the AKU 2.2 version, but I'll jump on this instead!
Just installed.
Hit a couple of oddities for the first time (previously installed 2.17 and 2.25 summiter roms) that I'd heard reported before: 1) one install (rhinostats) hung (clock just went round and round for several minutes after install) at the end requiring a soft reset. The install was successful though. 2) after successfully setting up our corportate pushmail, some time later when I checked back, the mail folder was missing in messaging. Attempting to deinstall/reinstall error'd with an account setup problem. I deinstalled, then soft reset, then re-installed and it was able to resetup the account.
The rom is a little different than past Cingular ones in that the cingular GPRS settings are under My ISP. I didn't see how to change proxy on My ISP; however, it seems proxy is not set which is what I want.
Also, the O2 today theme was missing. I actually was using that ;-)!
Thanks for putting this all together Summiter!!!
Finally took the leap and updated to this ROM from my Cingular stock ROM (OS 1.8.11.1).
A quick question for Summiter: what are the registry changes you made, if any?
Thanks for the ROM!
So far so good! Pocket Plus has been working great. I love it!

Thanks a lot! Installed it a few minutes ago, so I am not able to rate it's stability, but so far so good. One thing I noticed is that in the settings--> connections menu an option is added: USB to PC. It states " Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems connecting Activesync. "
Enable advanced network functionality (checkbox)
Might be usefull for those having troubles with USB connections.
Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.2 Beta)
In this second minor update currently progress is:
- Mamaich Paging Pool patch 16mb/32mb
- Modem link added to ROM with bt set at COM6.
- Audiogateway Registry Fix
- Wifi & Bluetooth Coexistentcy.
- Ability to save everywhere with Pocket Excel
- Smart Dial v2.2 is added to ROM. (if u dont use it just disable it)
- Flight Mode, Task Manager, WM5 New Menu, WM5 Storage, & USB Mode Switch added to extras folder.
- StartUp Manager by baniaczek
- Use ace_ddi as video driver (Landscape & Portrait fully supported but gif file wont show in PIE, use D3D_Driver driver to support gif with PIE but Landscape mode will need to re-align after soft reset)
- .NET Fix included
- Transcriber included.
In this beta, hv all the feature from v1.2 plus new OS built (AKU3.2 OS part taken from Lt.Cmdr.Ivan AKU3.2 for UNI with help by indra9110) and speed improvement and also new ROM base (5.04.06 taken from logout template since its newer version display).
Known issues:
1. There no internal integration beetween Comm Manager and Wifi, cos Different Driver beetween Wizard & BA (I've succesfully combine them in the past but forgot now how to do it again...and i still cant remember it...hell!!!..lol). I think I'll love someone who help on this.
2. When BT On, IR On, WIFI On, ActiveSync On, the tray might flick.
3. Some help file and Some Picture/images has been strip out from the ROM to create space for more usefull app.
Tips:
1. Disable Sound (Sound & Notification >> Events) might help system speed.
2. Disable Sound in phone (Phone Settings >> Keypad >> Off) might help phone speed.
3. Backup/Sync ur PIM with active sync first (Contact, email, etc) if u upgrade it from old rom (anything below AKU3.0 ROM) cos PIM management are different from the old rom ur old backup will not work, but ActiveSync will work Ok.
Please read the readme file, I dont hv time to update Wiki page, but I'll love if someone do the wiki page for me. btw I think the information in Readme file is enough to flash ur rom and since no 'real' extended rom so no further preparation is needed, but u might consider to make ur old Extended_ROM size to 128kb to make more storage space for ur device.
WIKI page is provided by Fraser (thanks man! it really help alot) here the wiki page:

If ur operator not in the list just delete all file in OPERATOR folder, cos the MMS_ENABLE.CAB already build a standar changeable MMS account.

helmi
Many thanks helmi!!! ... can't wait to flash the new rom
Thanks our Gods(helmi_c & Mamaich)
hi all
Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but i read all of the time about not restoring a full backup when upgrading a rom but above it says restoring if lower than AKU3.0 will cause problems.
I have 1.3 installed and would love to upgrade to this latest beta but the thought of reinstalling everything again is putting me off.
Is it possible to be able to upgrade the rom and use a backup from my 1.3 machine (either from spb Backup or the built in backup)
thanks in advance
I have succesfully restored all my programs using the rom-upgrade tool by Sprite, which can be used with sprite backup 5. Please note that you should exclude your PIM databases, as they will be different. But you can of course always sync these back from outlook via activesync. This will always work.
Helmi-
Thanks for the great roms. I'm currently using 1.3 with an 8MB page file...No real need for me to change, since i just spent a long time yesterday doing the whole install/reinstall/customize thing.
What I would switch for, and you talked about it before, is a new version of the AKU2.3 build. I much prefer MS Voice Command and there isn't too much need for 3.2 as of yet (not many applications for it...)
Are you still working on something like that?
THanks again!
32 pool + 16 ramdisk works fantastic. BT, WiFi, Media, Camera, iGo GPS flies, phone on first ring.
Thanks Guru Mamaich :idea:
Thanks Master Helmi 8)
AG registry fix
"Audiogateway Registry Fix"
What is this fix exactly?
Thanks Helmi.
32MB paging pool and 16 MB Ramdisk is my choice.
Hi Helmi
in 32 MB paging pool and RAMdisk 16 MB version.
The RAM should be 77 MB , but it is exactly only 61 MB.
I think 16 MB RAM is hidden somewhere.
But all works fine ,It's great.
Thanks.
.
...
incredible speed!
but I have a problem with SmartX, when i try to configure it show the error "SmartX service not activate". And I cannot activate it, because the check is disable and i cannot tap on it.
This one is really fast!
Even the IE is fast!
Great, thanks! Keep up the good work.
Nothing new, practically... Yes, except the mem.pool size, but thats a thing everyone can do
My personal benchmark
This is realy great :!: I think we now have the WM5 features on our BA with better then WM2003 speed.
Since Helmi'c 1.2 version i keep track of the tomtom startup time after initial flash, app's install and configuring.
on 1.2 : over 30 seconds
on 1.3 : about 18 seconds
on 1.3.2: about 9 seconds 8)
on 1.2 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3 with PHM overclocking: 13 secs
on 1.3.2 with PHM overclocking: 8 secs
Best speed ever!
I confirm that memory available for programs is only 61 MB, instead of 77MB.
back on the 1.3.1 thread, I posted my suggestions to map the Hardware buttons with the 'mail' icon to left softkey, and the one with the IE icon to right softkey. I think someone replied me, but looks like I have been misunderstood. I do NOT mean to change the functions associated to the softkeys, I want to MAP the HW keys to them.
I know how to do it, but it would be good if they were already set up like this out of the box.
And having the backlight NOT turn off while on external power.
Kudos to Helmi and Mamaich! I guess we will see 1.3.2a or 1.3.3 soon, because of these missing 16MB...
Some ideas, my opinions

Some people would like that - some wouldn't. Some will think the change would go too far, some people will be confused, asking about what happened etc.
But really, if someone got used to that setting he uses , regardless of out-of-the-box status, he uses his own setting.
I mapped the softkeys to HW buttons, becouse HW shortcuts to PIE and Messages are unuseful for me. With softkeys mapped like that, it is possible to use BA w/o stylus and using just one hand in most cases. I don't need to touch the screen with my fingers, to use softkey.
Good idea.

There are people charging their PDA's over night, Having light on could be disturbing and w/o any sence. I keep it off.
Bad idea.
Nice ideas overall.

hmm... If we use 32mb Page pool version it should 61mb left, for 16mb page pool it will 77mb...
about hardkey, I think it whould be wiser to make it standar Joe, to avoid confusion among user, cos it so cuztomize..
and about backlight, maybe some AddOn/Patch? I'll try to learn about it.
currently I'm workin on AKU2.6 as a replacement for my old AKU2.3 as so many user complain about compability issues with some app (MS Voice Command for example) currently not workin is sms with this aku2.6 rom after that I'll go back to aku3.2 :wink:
Got hold of version 1.32 of Helmi's rom. Here's my boot time right after installing of rom, without any other software I normally install myself.
1. Paging 32MB and Ramdisk 16MB - 36 seconds
2. Paging 16MB and Ramdisk 32MB - 35 seconds
I decided to stick with 2.
Overall, what I can say is that it's very fast now. I use to need to wait for tmail.exe to open but now, it opens instantly.
I'm very happy with the speed now. I can basically leave with this now. Cheers to Helmi and to the guy who found out about the paging size.

Hi Helmi,
I quite like 1.32 rom (AKU 3.2) with the paging size upgrade, except like others, is still missing MS Voice Command. You mentioned about AKU 2.6 rom, other than giving back MS Voice Command, what are the differences from 1.32 rom? Can the paging size be increased like the current 1.32 rom?
Thanks.

Must we apply the cabs in the Fixes folder in the FTP?
Do you know how to make convertion from your rom to Himalaya?
I v flashed but stoped on 4 colors screen.
I tried again, it's ok now.
I've just updated to this ROM from Helmi AKU3.2 v1.3.2 and very impressive. I like the sounds.
Have tested the WLAN. I noticed that under "Wireless Lan", the signal strength bar isn't working. It is blank. The default taskbar signal strength works though.
Will be trying the Bluetooth with my Holux236 GPS after this.
*edit* - Now I can't seem to turn my WIFI on. Will investigate if it is caused by the cabs I installed from the Cabs folder on Ftp.
WLAN... solved.
Ok, on first time device on, to turn on WIFI, you need to go to Wireless LAN to turn on WIFI first. After that, you can start using CommManager to control WIFI on/off.
If you leave WIFI on during soft reset, your wifi will be on after soft reset and you can still use CommManager to control WIFI on/off.
But, if you leave WIFI off during soft reset, then you can't turn WIFI on anymore whether via Wireless LAN switch or CommManager switch regardless how many soft resets.
Anyone can confirm this? Or rather provide a solution? Did I miss out something?
*edit* - Nevermind.. haha. It is working now somehow but my device is on fresh hard reset.
I can't seem to get Wireless Stereo/A2DP to work. I've checked the obvious entries in the registry and the dll files, no joy.
cant wait to test
downloading....thank you very much.
Has anyone managed to make Smart Dial v2.2 work?
guys when i double click the file and after it flashes , do i need to press all three buttons like before and do the 3 options thingy?
or just flash and will reset automatically.

Yeah, thats right man. Its the right trick to get WIFI worked without having to SR the device. My experience told me that It would take 2 times turning on WIFI on the Wireless Lan settings, then go ahead to the CommManager. It will definitely work, at least in my situation.
I've noticed two thingys,
1. When connected to GPRS the little 'G' doesn't show up.
2. What happened to the newer version media player that was in AKU 3.3
There was no newer version of WM it was skin which have problems with video playback, the picture was shifted
WLAN - as you all know since we first seen Comm manager WLAN is turning on by Wireless Manager and then you can control it trough Comm Manager
About A2DP i have not compatible headset to test it i have mono one
There is no need to install fixes for this rom, you can try only those which removes comm manager icon and screen rotate icon from tray
I've installed quite anumber of basic apps:
SBSH Ilauncher
Pocket Informant
Pocket Music (Freeversion)
PhoneAlarm
Garmin Que
GPSGate
SPB Diary
Resco File Explorer
TCPMP
They all work fine up to now. The only thing that doesnt work is Smart Dialing which i miss so much. Out of curiousity, how do you guys usually do away without Smart Dial? I feel that opening the Contacts page is time consuming and inefficient. Not suitable for driving. Any easier way?
Ok.. so a few days ago I installed this:
Rom: Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19716
Radio: Polar 1.58.25.14
Everything works great... except for the stupid comm manager. I remapped all of my buttons... so now the only thing the comm manager is assigned to is the "press and hold SEND button".
However....
The COMM manager will randomly launch itself. It seems like it happens sometimes when i'll click text messages, or open slide out the keyboard... etc. etc..
For what it's worth.. i installed the same rom and radio on my girlfriends tilt, and her phone does the same thing. Has anyone else experienced this?
Yea, I was getting the same thing.
You should flash the latest version of that rom, it's the 1 5.2.19716_UC. I still get the comm manager popping up, but it's not nearly as much as what you're seeing now. And if you can believe it, the latest one is even FASTER!!!
And it is UC compliant.
UC = "User Customization":

New rom here:

Actually dude thats the one i'm using. I forgot to put the UC at the end. :-/
So... i guess we are stuck at the moment.
EDIT: I changed my sig to reflect the correct Rom ..... anyone else having this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
Bump Bump Bump
Anyone find a solution?

1st: open any program... (phone app, PIE, whatever...)
2nd: slide out keyboard
3rd: slide back in keyboard
4th: close opened program
and wallah comm manager will be opened on its own... kind of a wierd bug

I just found something out. A friend of mine and I have identical everything installed on our tilts...
Here are our rom versions, radio versions, and DIFFERENT protocol versions... we installed from the EXACT same files. WTF?
Check this out... we ended up somehow with different protocol versions... does that make a difference?
I have the issue with the comm manager opening up, he doesnt.
My info:
Rom: Touch v6.1 WWE
Rom date: 02/19/08
Radio version: 1.58.25.14
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05h <---notice the H
My friends info:
Rom: Touch v6.1 WWE
Rom date: 02/19/08
Radio version: 1.58.25.14
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05w <---notice the W
Maybe this is some insight... but i have no idea how this happened if we both used the same rom, same radio, same everything. Hell, we even used the same cab files when we installed our other apps, and we never installed a different comm manager.
On a side note... I also installed ALL of these same files on my girlfriends Tilt, and she has the same issue that I am having with the comm manager.
WTF. LoL
I went through the registry and at first glance everything appears ok. I suppose i'll do a little more digging later on...
Pictures of both of our info.... my picture is missing the one missing the beam button and with the "H" at the end of the protocol... his has the "W".
I had him try to do the comm manager glitch about a dozen times but no go.. so his isnt broke. Lucky bastard.
because i got the same problem with W and H i am curious if you find out how to switch the versions.
What i found out is:
W means GSM (900/1800/1900) and UMTS (2100 anly)
H means GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) and UMTS (850/1900/2100Mhz)
Same here.
I have the same problems with my comm manager randomly opening when I have a program open and switch to landscape mode.
But I'm not running anything from Dutty.
Rom version: 1.56.405.5
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Protocol 22.45.88.07W
I have nothing to add other than to say the Comm Manager opens everytime I slide too.
All credits go to original creators, I did not create any of these cabs, instead this is basically a mirror archive for all the cabs I've downloaded any feel may help new users. If anyone has issues with me posting it, feel free to contact me and I'll remove it asap.
All of these are the programs I install after flashing to a new ROM which are all WM 6.1 ROMS. Not tested on other versions.
I'll try and update as much as possible. Feel free to also PM me any suggestions/uploads you would like and I'll try my best to fulfill your requests(Y).
