HTC releases ROM Upgrade - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

HTC finally released a ROM upgrade for the Wing. Appears to be just Windows Mobile 6.1, but I'm no expert. Did it fix the Pagepool?
Anyway, here it is:

I run this updated for a couple days and had many problems. I ended up flashing back to the older ROM

may be you should have read more before posting this thread, cause there is already like 3 threads about this. But anyways, the ROM is still 6.0 not 6.1, and it sucks just as much as the orignal. Plus in some cases it can cause serious problems while loading the ROM. In anycase, my reccomendation would just be to flash a custom ROM.

Wing ROM
Sorry! As you see, I am a junior member, so when I didn't see this posted, thought I'd disseminate some useful info. As you are an authority, a few questions: other than the Pagepool fix and unloading a few useless Microsoft programs, is there any benefit to using an homebrew ROM? This assuming you have your Wing tweaked to perfection with the old ROM.
Also, ?is it possible to use Sprite Backup to restore your system to a new ROM? or does each program and tweak need to be separately placed and adjusted.
Thanks,
Paul D.

yep.
newer builds=faster=more awesome
also you don't have to tweak it yourself

Wing ROM
Thanks. Which ROM do you recommend? My Wing has the Battery Status for speed, Pagepool for memory, iFonz for program selection, S2U2 for class, and Inesoft Dialer/Address book for communication with ease. It's a little slow but not annoyingly so.
Again all advice is appreciated.
Paul D.

If you customize your wing a lot it's the best you start with one of the lite version of roms to enable you the most out of your storage space and program memory.
I personally use open touch v4 but there are many good roms. Check the rom review thread in the rom section.

Advice ROM 6.1 cooked

I would say what WM 6.1 rom cookes is better. Thanks
better? than what? what do you mean? compared to other cooks, 6.1 roms (if so which?), or other 6.0 Roms? what are u talking about?
What exactly was the point of this thread? Just a waste of disk space
What we have here is a failure to communicate....
I believe the gent is asking for us to suggest what rom he should use.
@~FullSyst3m~: The matter is up to you. Go read & find what ROM suits YOUR needs best. No one here has any idea your level of proficiency or to what end you use your device.
If you are not familiar with the WM6.1 ROMS or flashing or fixing the F'ups flashing can cause just using one of the 6.0 RTM ROMs, then I would urge you to just wait. All of the available ROMS that are 6.1 take some degree of tweaking & hacking to get them running correctly. At least for me, but I am dependent on several apps that I must run & don't work well with 6.1. It took me 4 hours to get them all running again & involved hacking the registry.
Unless have some experience with these things or just don't care what runs & what doesn't & are prepared to hack your way through the issues, I'd wait.
If you can't wait then you can think about Sleuth maybe. Understand though, most of the 6.1 ROMS available are WWE or Chinesse. I don't know your primary language or provider because your profile is completely lacking.
I would be only an advice regard 6.1 rom
try the new Sleuth rom
Very thanks

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.

Just a little light - Rom choices

I'm sure this was posted many times before - I'm ready to wipe my wing.. i know i know, RTFM - I'm an engineer ... I'm looking for a shortcut to the most appropriate ROM for my wing needs.. Please advise, many friggen posts to choose from... Need standard apps, exchange email a must - also need office apps.. any suggestions ? So sick of running outta mem!!!! any suggestions are appreciated.... can I keep outlook with any custom Roms?
"so give me, just a little light" band/song????...
-Oldie
my guess is: any rom will do, just pick one of the newer fully loaded ones, they come packed with office standard (or better) apps and with all roms exchange mail should work. i believe the latest is open touch 6.5 biggy (i use aserg 12, but it is for herald, so you'd need a keyboard fix)
Yes to all your questions. Roms support full functionality of the phone.
I reccommend either ASERG Rom or ITJE Roms.

That bring another question, what is ITJE's newest (most updated) rom? I found a thread that has all his old rom and it said not support anymore.
just use the one with the highest build number; they are generally the newest.
in this case, this is the one (i think)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407646
ITJE bought himself a Kaiser .. so he's been a little busy in that forum .. as well as having a "real life" ...
Aserg disappeared too ... but his v12 rom is fast, stable and bull**** free... and I've been using it for over a very long time now.

I know. Had been using his rom for awhile. No doubt one of the best, but I always want to try the newest and most updated roms Is there a way we can kind of recook Aserg's rom, just do the updates maybe?
itje has a polaris, too.
ttran has a...... 8525?

If you your unsure about flashing a new rom I found when I first got my wing that changing the page pool size and getting battery status helped a lot. Its very easy to do and you still have the standard Tmo rom. If you want to flash a rom I would go with ttran's OT 5 original. Its basically the stock rom but made a lot better. Hope this helps.

help getting touchflo on at&t tilt

Hi all,
I have a AT&T Tilt with radio 1.27.12.11 as default. I followed the instructions on how to unlock and install custom ROMS on the phone. I have installed dutty's rom for now.
I found this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUvV1ZZAzcw
If you jump to 3 minutes in, does anyone know what ROM this is to get this interface? I would like this interface. The video author does not seem to mention it
Thanks!
George

Pretty much all new ROMs contain M2D take a look @ the Kaiser ROM Development and read the first page of the ROM thread then if your going to flash read more so you can know how to solve any issues that may have already been covered.
try to avoid the 6.5 hybrids due to some bugs between outlook/exchange that haven't been resolved yet. If you don't need email access then I recommend AthineOS's newest M2D release a couple days ago, Fast and stable with that 1 minor exception. I see this bug in other 6.5 releases.
you can always search out the manilla2d thread in the general forum I believe it is.. I am using a Kaiser rom by -G- that did not come with it preinstalled so I Was able to choose my interface & set it up myself using the v22 m2d instead of the v18 that most of the roms still contain.. I Dont think you even need to flash your rom to add m2d if you just install the cabs, someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe manilla2d is just a kick anus today screen plug in..

Latest official AT&T ROM

Anybody extracted all the cabs already?
Especially interested in the Manila version and all the AT&T add-ons.
Thx
wait. you actually want the att bloatware?
also, the tf3d stuff is only slightly optimized, if you're running any of the manilas out there that are updated recently, it should perform better.. especially if you actually use wm6.5
Yes, the bloatware incl. Manila to rewrite/update my Fuze setup guide.
I admit that I'm a little bit reluctant to flash my phoen back to the latest ATT since I kinda depend on it for the next two weeks and cannot run the risk to wreck it at this time.
i c... I can provide you the set up file, but I have no knowledge of how to extract it. If you are interested, send me a PM and i'll see if i can upload the link for you.
EDIT: the official update is actually really good. especially the radio. my gps fix is very very fast, and my battery life is great.. even with push..
I can download the EXE from HTC/AT&T myself but would need to install to copy all cab files under the Windows directory.
If anybody has all the cabs which reside after an install (better a de-böoated install) would be great.
The success with the GPS and good lock is simply related to the Radio bundled with the new ROM which is/was available at XDA for some time. Sure, for a branded ROM it was finally time to fix these issues.
yeah, i did mention that the radio was why the gps is so much better. I'm just a sucker for going around flashing new radios... It got to be so much of a hassle keeping track of them that I gave up..
anyways, sorry I can't help you there in terms of the cabs since I'm very uncomfortable with doing stuff like that since I'm paranoid about my phone numbers and notes tagging along..
but I can say with confidence that the new update is really good and you should not be worried about flashing the new rom at all. The only thing is that I see you are using energyrom so i understand that you don't want to flash back and forth.
Can you take a look in your Windows dir and name me the CAB files there?
Most common none is deleted after install so that list could be helpful already.
NRG ROM ... well ... it ROCKS.
I'm not such a fan of 6.5 yet thus running the older NRG 2.0 without ANY problems.
sure! that I CAN do.. here's the list (btw, my rom is unbloated so i might have all of the cabs..)
BlockBreakerDelux_105_signed.cab
DD2_GM_signed.CCAB
GetATTNavigator_NoTestAccount.CAB
GetMail_2008030_signed.CAB

Sudoku_0.11.66_signed.CAB
WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.CAB
XMRadio.4.0.4.68563_signed.CAB
that's about all I see.. I might have some typos in the numbers but hopefully they should be all correct. Good luck and if you need anything else, just holler.
Cool mate! ... and this is from the latest AT&T ROM upgrade?
Would you mind to copy all the cabs to your PC and zip them in one humongous file? Check PM
i can do that provided that it isn't locked in by the OS. I'll do it later when I come back.
Thanks, check your PM (Private Messages).
Sorry to interrupt, but here you go:
http://rapidshare.com/files/249085596/CABs_from_New_AT_T_ROM.zip
Manila is not installed from CAB, so I created a CAB for it.
Thanks NATF.
Just one Q, what does then the PT_MANILA.CAB do?
Chefs like you never disturb!

Actually, you don't need that CAB. It is installed during Initial Configuration, and it adds the registry entries that start TF3D on boot. However, I added the required entries to my TF3D CAB.
Hey NATF....what happened to the OzIM cab? I was curious about this thread because I wanted to know if there were a new version of the cab for the instant messaging package as well....or did you just leave it out because the version didn't change in the new ROM perhaps?
