rom advice..

I am using Pdaviet for a few months and i like it actually.
As far as i read on the forums there's a pdaviet 6.1 version but the original site is in vietnamese and i couldnt find any download link,
moreover there are different roms that are easy to find around but i didint try yet like touch-it etc..
I have some questions..
Does it worth to update to 6.1 version?
If the answer is yes, anybody has link for pdaviet for herald 6.1 or do u advice other roms..
And if other roms are better, do i have to load original firmware before replacing the roms?

Yes it is worth it.
What phone do you have? You should be able to install the Rom using HardSPL or USPL without having to reload the OEM software... but that depends on what phone you have and the IPL/SPL on it.

I have hera110 aka wing..
So i better try it at weekend

Check out Aserg's rom or ITJE's roms. They are both amazing cooks. I've used both of their Roms extensively and have found them to be the best in my opinion.

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

Two questions before I upgrade to wm6.1

Ok I just upgraded to the wing from the MDA and am looking to make the jump to wim6.1. I am "not" a newb to flashing, my MDA was running 6.1. I want to flash the wing using WM6.1 Slim Edition v2.2 link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367375
My questions are:
1. Will flashing change my camera or will it remain the same?
2. Is there a cab for sliding sound? I would like to reinstall it after the flash.

I don't know the implications of trying to flash an MDA rom onto a WING...
I've never personally tried this type of flash, but to my understanding, you shouldn't cross flash roms...

What I'm basically looking for is a clean wm6.1, with little preloaded apps and this particular rom was just what I was looking for. It ran great on my MDA and I was hoping to use it on the wing.

Me Too!
I'm also trying to find a clean pure wm6.1 rom for my wing. I've looked everywhere, and all I can find is modified roms with added stuff. I'm just trying to find a rom that has only the core original apps in it that come with wm6.1. I settled for an "orginal" rom from HTC for the herald that was newer than the one in my stock Wing, and that got me to wm6.1, but even that seems like it has extra stuff in it. Does anyone know what the cleanest, purest rom that you can get that will run quickly and doesn't have any mods, tweaks, extra apps, etc in it? I'd really apprecaite it because I have been searching forum after forum to try to find one.

guide how one flash roms
unless otherwise stated all roms are flashed the same way

hey thanks for ur help..i understood the procedure for upgrading the ROM,but it stil doesnt answer my question.Can i install a WM6.5 ROM on my WM6.1 diamond?

Yes you can.
Flashing a 6.5 rom is just like flashing a 6.1 rom. All you have to do is find the rom that best suits your needs (easier said than done). I've flashed my phone many many times (warning, it becomes addictive).
As a matter of fact I assume that most diamond owners on this forum are already running winmo 6.5.
Check out the rom section of this forum.

hey thanks a lot..thats what i wanted to know.ya m already getting addicted choosing a good ROM)

Questions regarding Flashing/Dumping ROM on MDA Compact V

Hi, been looking through the various sections of ROM development forum, and have a couple of questions. I am new to this Windows based phones.
1) When I dump the ROM, does this Backup the ROM, radio and Protocol, or do you have to do them individually? Basically can I put the MDA Compact V back into its complete original state if I dont like the new ROMS?
2) Has anyone tried Flashing the Compact V, if so, any improvements?
Hoping some of you experts can help out a noob!

2) You need HARDSPL installed. Then you can flash any topaz rom on it. Trust me, you don't want to go back to the t-mobile rom.

Let us know how you get on, i'm thinking of doing the same thing

I dumped my rom from the mda compact v but I havent put it back together as nbh yet. Downloading the topaz kitchen to do so.
It is always a good idea to dump your rom before flashing a new one. If your phone develops a fault t-mobile will not accept responsibility if there is a custom rom on there and they will likely tell you that your warranty has been invalidated. Although the t-mobile rom is awful is always good to have it backup up just in case of the worst.
Saying that I didnt backup the radio though and I updated that to the latest last week
EDIT: To answer the question yes there are improvements with running custom roms. I have not moved to 6.5 yet as I have a heavily customised uDK 6.1 rom and cannot be bothered to move to 6.5 and do all the customisations again. There 6.5 rom appear to be slightly buggier from what I read but it does have its advantages over 6.1.
Backup the t-mobile rom and move to the custom roms just make sure you follow the instructions carefully

Thanks for the replys.
Pauloke: I have backed up the ROM (parts.raw) and I have also got the kitchen, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Worst case, I have a copy anyway. The kitchen instructions get quite techy very quickly and they soon lose me. Is there any way of getting a copy of the shipped ROM online?
Cheers

One way is to check the website of your provider. Sometimes you find the ROM (as an update) there.
Another way is to check the WIKI TOPAZ cooked ROMs page. By chance you find your ROM there.

Ohh man i must be rly stupid, why i cant figure out how the @#% i can dump my rom :S This dumprom tool is supposed to extract an already backed up rom right? i'm really confused :/
