I was wondering what people think of the new HTC rom.
I'm using 1.93 NL and right of the start noticed that TouchFlo is much faster without tweaking the performance with advanced config. Also the finger scrolling in the programs tab (flicking the page up and down) is much more responsive than in 1.37.
I'm not gonna tweak the settings now because it's fast enough to start with.
Also noticed a performance increase @ opera, pages seem to load quicker and scrolling is a lot faster.

Performance is quicker - just as fast as an iphone3g (yes I have tested the devices side by side, to launch apps, goto home screen etc.. in many cases Diamond is faster now)
Also interestingly enough, the device doesnt get as hot anymore when browsing over wifi, HSDPA, 3G or even using GPS
Version 1.93....... is a piece of sheet
way?
- the calendar is hang up
- after press "Answer" button the ring sound continue few seconds

Do you have any screen caps from this ROM? Do you know if the FB integratoin works on this one? Do you know if the Photo Album picture orientation issue is there in TF3D tab? Do you know if the Tabs under the picture in Favs in People Tab in TF3d are mapped correctly to the actual number rather than dial the number you have selected while adding the Fav (For ex. You dial work or Home, it still calls the cell if you have selected the cell number while adding the faves).
Sorry too many Q, but since you are posting some one elses cooked ROM with just a download link with No reference to the actual Chef's information.. I am asking you all this with the assumption you have flashed this ROM.
For now I'm testing this rom and for me everything working fine.But I'm not expert

I have just flashed to this ROM and played with it for 2 hours here are my feebacks:
This ROM used Rhodium version so new start menu
seetings -->all settings from start menu works fine
-I tried to record a video from htc album, no problem to play it after I don't notice any lag
-Youtube works like a charm no lag
-Adding favorite to people works fine, changing contacts pictures is done without issue only one thing I noticed you may have a black screen for 2 or 5 seconds after selecting the picture for the contact.
-Google Map is not the latest version (this is not a bug) you can still upgrade to the latest one
-I can't complain about the speed of the ROM it looks fast to me
-Synchronisation to exchange server works fine
-Mettings are read by a lady voice when you have a notification.
-TT7 works fine
-Myphone works fine
-TFLO rotation works fine
-Battery usage seems to be good
Problem:
-From HTC Album pictures does not auto rotate
-Home button and back button problem still there
-No Zoom slider when using Opera (It's not a bug it must be related to the version used) but still good to know
What I don't test:
-Checking if this ROM has ring tone problem
KARMBA thanks for sharing your ROM, you've done an excellent job
I will continue to play with it tomorow and will report if any bug
I think I will keep it for a while, no crash during my testing

Thanks for your observations, I ended up flashing it myself and concur with your remarks. It's a full featured ROM, not much removed, hence the size. For Visagdude, it has the same bug with the Fav tabs, only dials the one number regardless of which button you use, otherwise a nice ROM. Not sure that it's as fast as Davide's or HN's, but seems to be less buggy, quite stable and smooth. Think I'll try it for a bit longer.
My 2 pence...
Just tried this ROM for around 30 minutes and it seemed fine however...
* The camera no longer has the 5mp setting and the screen goes white for a few seconds after taking a picture.
* The orientation issue that is in Dutty's 2.1 is in this rom which appears to have the new album.
* Cannot set personal ringtone, only the default ones.
* The Internet tab is not the new one as in the Davideuck v2.
Stopped at this point as it was late and am about to flash back to Dutty's 2.0 ROM. Too many issues with this one.
Hey.. guys.. actually after asking those Qs in the post, I downloaded the ROM and flashed it on the way home from work (I have over 1 hour commute). I played around with it for a while and here are my impressions...
- This is the new Rodhium ROM with the icons Start menu.
- The ROM feels fast and stable.
- Exchange Sync is Good and immediate (No issues)
- Camera I felt works a bit better and faster in taking pictures.
- Front Camera: For the 2nd time in this forum, I have experienced the front camera of my device working and it is AWESOME. While storing "My Contact car" in the Picture if you choose the camera option, the front camera gets activated. The other ROM that has this feature was "onkolog's" lite version. Both these ROMs feel similar except onkolog's ROM has exchange synch issue.
- G-Sensor: This ROM has an app called Gsensor, which gives us 2 simple options Enable G-Sen and Disable G-Sen. Choosing either will result in a soft reset and it works perfect.
- Opera: There is no zoom bar in this ROMs Opera. No issues with Opera.
- No Push Pages for Opera Favs.
- Face Book: No FaceBook integration. It gives the text while saving My Contact card but never gives the option on the next screen.
- TF3D Pictures orientation does not have any issues.
- Speed dail contacts does dails only one number for different tabs like every other Rohdium ROM I have flashed (And I have tried ALL of them
All in all... A very stable and Fast ROM. I have decided to use this over the weekend.
Good Job Chef... Please fix the ones I have mentioned.. this ROM will be very popular.

Great ROM
Hi people!
I'm very surprised with this ROM
I flashed my HD last night and until now, this appears to be the most stable ROM with this new Manila interface.
The only bug that I have here is the 3M of the camera, the rest is all OK.
During today I will do more tests to see how he behaves.
Great Job...GREAT ROM

I'm sure we tried the same ROM. I did not chk the 3 mp settings for the camera until you mentioned it. but here is the thing, for the first time I am able to take pictures of my One year old, since he is never steady. I'm evening able to send 'em via email to my friends and family. since I Don't ha ve 3g in the US for this device, 3MP pics really help.
Ring Tones: Yes you are right, cannot assign personal ring tones.
FYI - I'm typing this message from my device .
thanks a lot
very nice work

I'm not sure I get your point as the 5mp camera can be turned down to 3mp,2mp etc in the settings. Either way I'm glad your happy with it.
old start
Been searching, but cant seem to find a way to get the old start menu for programs.
Any info on this?
thx

I am only saying that I am glad that I am able to take decent pics with this ROM of my kids.. which never was possible when I had the 5 MP camera. No doubt the 5 MP camera takes one of the best pictures when the target is steady... But, why would I use a Cell Phone camera... Personally, I would use my Cell Phone camera coz.. its usually always with me and when I want to capture a moment with my family or kids, or want to share something with my friends and family... I would want to use it. Sadly till now the HD camera did not really help me in this aspect. My wife uses an iPhone which has 2 MP camera and her phone takes better pics than my "5MP" HD camera...
I rest my case.

Well said and same case with me too
To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
To show favorites programs page on manila:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000
This will revert new Manila with old Start Menu.....

I am removing my roms due to conflicts with certain members at xda, this looks like it cant be solved in normal ways. And because I do not want anymore of the bickering and fighting, I am pulling my work from XDA and all support is moved to you know where. I cant even mention that name anymore here.
Sorry to see this happen here, where I have learned so much, and met so many wonderful ppl.
rom is now online
happy flashing
Sounds great. Are you going to release a german version of it? And can you tell me if the video playback on HQ YouTube videos is laggy or something? I guess you are using the X2 video driver?
new UI, wonderful
will give it a try
thx for that
Thanks, i will install it and give some feedback
Flasing as we speak, will report back!
Thanks for the rom!
Thank you
Now flashing .....

Just an early impression (played for a few hours); but so far WM6.5 and Manilla 2.5 seem to be very smooth. (alot faster then the NRG rom i tried before this one)
I also like the decision to use Opera 9* instead of 10Beta, since 9 is alot less annoying at times. (@ 10B i cannot seem to see whether i pressed a link or not)
However, why did you leave out HTC's Wifi share and the percentual battery meter?
Also, im not sure if Opera Mini is liking Jblend much, it seemed to bug the animations/screen changes after loading a few pages.
(for others, look in HKCU-Software-Jblend of the register, to make Jblend fullscreen)
That aside, i love it, great job for this lag-free Manilla 2.5 experience .
Very good Rom. I used it for the last few hours and there is no major bug to find. The only thing that Wifi on/off doesnt work over the Comm Manager but it works fine with the system settings.
Youtube fast is in High definition !!!
Yeah and my Battery is still at 100%?!

Some info:
Some difference in the manila is: No doc tab and no footprints. (probably can be added in future releases)
Also, this is manila 2.5 buildt for Topaz, witch has a smaller cpu. This means that speed has been improved, and weather animations are faster by default.
If you feel some features misses from my BL (leo based) that is natural, as this is all based from the topaz
-Os build 24001
-Office 2010
-Sense 2.5.20113030.0 with landscape support

Worst situation ever.
After successful completion of installing process, I reboot device and it won't go forward but stick on date and time window. I can't change the date, I am able to change time but date won't even able to click.
Did hard reset twice, after and twice before flashing the room, same odd situation, I lost all my previous data etc and now even can't install this room. Going to download any other room and gonna flash, meanwhile, if some one can give me quick advise. Thanks
Does the Camera button show X1 camera or htc camera??????

this thing was happend to my first time flashed too , but after i did hard reset by using tiny hole then skip that process , it work fine. u can adjust date and time after complete flashing.
like in thread. I cooked WM6.5.3, build 28205 with Palm OEM. All works: sleep with red button, messaging etc. Without CHome etc (lockscreen too).
Known bug is not opening Start after tapping icon on the screen. You must open Start with hardbutton.
Please test, I try to fix any bugs you find

oh, really ? I fix this when I could.
Thanks for your efforts! The WM6.5 work for the Treo has slowed to a crawl. Nice to see there are a few of us that still like the Treo's form-factor.
Wow, I really like this ROM. I thought nav's was cool, this is even better! As with nav's ROM, I'll pitch in with some bug reporting.
-Palm's messaging app cannot be closed. It can't be exited, apparently, when I tap the close button on the bottom right it won't close the program. I used Wakutask to minimize it but that's the closest way to minimizing it on one tap (another way to minimize it it to open Start ->Show Today and it should go to the RAM.) Unfortunately, I am unable to use the Task Manager to close it as well. Only a Reboot will clear it away.
-Where is the "Keyguard" control panel applet? I want to turn off keyguard but cannot find the option.
Some other none-Palm related issues:
-When I install FileExplorer Ext, it freezes the phone randomly. Could be a probem with it, so I use Resco explorer for installing cabs :/
-HTC Task Manager doesn't work. Does anyone know which task managing progam is good for the new close button position?
-The aforementioned Waku Task works as designed, but as I mentioned earlier the close button no longer works at the top right (it would if you enable X-button skinning), but having active tasks still on the top bar is great
So, seeing how good this ROM is, minus the above issues, I'm wondering what should we call this ROM? Mietas edition?
Thanks again fo keeping the Treo alive!
more bugs
1.it did not let me to install new programs. I did an hard reset and then i succeed to install softwares.
2.i installed spb keyboard, and when i entered to menu in this software it freez and i needed to do a reset.
Oh this is issue is tottaly awesome. I didnt hope, that someone make new stable rom, with palm oem things. how much free ram is after installation? Want you fix the remaining bugs shortly? I didnt already install it, but i'm going to try it tomorrow.
Many thanks from treo user from czech.
I fix bugs as soon I get a Treo. Probably this week.
Thanks for reporting bugs so much
What about stability, RAM etc?
Finally had the chance to install it. Nice work!
1) I have to admit that I do miss the 'Zune' look of the earlier version's homescreen, but will gladly give it up for the stability and features of this ROM.
2) I had an issue trying to select a ringtone on the Phone Settings Screen. It looks like there is an extra dropdown menu covering up the one where you actually select the ringtone. Once you managed to select the proper dropdown, you could change the ringtone, it just took a little fiddling.
3) When I tried changing themes for the today screen, once switching off the AT&T screen, I couldn't get it back the way it was before the switch. Some of the menus, fonts, and graphics had changed (for example the lower menu bar on the home screen), and the only way I could find to restore it was a hard reset.
4) As others have said, clicking on the Windows logo on the home screen doesn't do anything. You have to use the Windows button on the keyboard.
5) I didn't have the issue reported by mangatron regarding the Messaging app. Mine seems to work fine.
6) The Phone button issue reported by libal is present for me too. It appears to be the menu box that popped up when pressing the phone button, only it goes blank, and as reported it does not go away by leaving that screen. Soft reset does clear it.
Any chance you could share your kitchen with us? This would allow us to make a few of these fixes and will allow us to port to other versions.
Also - When using any mail program it will not allow any reply to an email.
Hmm, Messaging app works fine now. Maybe I had to receive a few sms first, or I suspect my sim card wasn't playing nice with the ROM.
I also use AE Button Plus to map the OK button to actually close programs. That does wonders.
The old battery indicator that used to be in WM6 is half in the top bar. Well, I say half because I can see a part of the lightning icon (when you charge your phone), and a bit of the left shows up. Any way to clear that? Or a bug maybe...
I would like to note people using this ROM for the first time:
-It's always best to clear data after flashing ROM's. Hold Power button and press the Reset button underneath the MiniSD cover. That should clear the old installation setup you had previously, which should fix installation errors.
-The phone may seem sluggish at first setup, just wait for it to load what needs to load, and after you soft reset, everything should be smooth.
-For those that wonder about program compatibility, I tested a WM2003 era program (MADE Text Editor), and it simply overwrites the bottom bar with it's WM2003 style icon style bar. Works fine
As for stability, RAM, the phone operates a bit slower than WM6.1. SKTools benchmarks puts the graphics rendering nearly 100 points lower than WM6.1, and almost 200 points lower than nav's WM6.5 ROM. Maybe if we use his specialized ATI dll it might be faster? Because the CPU is also a bit slow, but only by 1 point, although RAM access time and Main Storage Read/Write is the same as WM6/6.1. I don't really want to tax the RAM, I tested Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2u and it operates the same way as on WM6/6.1. I don't want to test Beta 3 because that uses up twice the RAM than Beta 2u.
So far so good though, with a little bit of fixing this ROM can be a winner
Can this be used on Treo 700WX?
or is there WM6.5 ROM for Treo 700WX?

I can't readily compare to 6.1 because I haven't used it in a long time, but this ROM is definitely snappier than nav's 6.5 version. It loads faster, locks onto AT&T much faster, and web pages seem to load faster too. I'm just using it stock, I haven't added any additional software to it. I had nav's ROM on my Treo for several months, and would not go back from a performance perspective.
Having said that, I can confirm Z3rx's report of not being able to reply to emails. It just returns you to the Inbox when selecting reply either through the menu, or using the left action key. That's a big problem for me as I use e-mail quite a bit on my phone. Hope the OP doesn't disappear, as so many of the Treo 750 cookers seem to do after an initial release.
just wanted to say thanks! i also lost confidence in new wm6.5 roms for our old but good treo 750!
keep up the good work man!

Hmm, I can only imagine with nav's ATI driver this Mietas ROM would be a whole lot better, nav's was good basically for font rendering (pretty much every program launched) and Camera quality. The rest, was like you mentioned, it wasn't optimized in a lot of places, most notably for it's RAM management and I would suspect CHome/Titanium existing in his ROM further slowed it down.
Other than that, isn't signal clarity/reception dependant on the Radio Firmware version? Although I wouldn't be surprised because Nav's ROM does not pull both CAP_package and the Carrier database from EXT Rom like Mietas' ROM [probably] does (which would explain it being able to lock on faster, a similar experience I had with Tacoman's WM6.1 and the Chinese WM6.1, with Taco's pulling from EXT Rom while the CHS one didn't)
I would like to add that I currently am using the Database from what was most likely the final Official ENG ROM released by Palm, Vodafone Version 2.30 which according to my digging contains the most up to date Carrier Database (that's where all the world's wireless carrier information is kept). I could imagine if you had this you'd have even better results with your wireless carrier.

Other than that, isn't signal clarity/reception dependant on the Radio Firmware version?

I'm on AT&T, and did not change the radio firmware when I flashed this ROM. On Nav's ROM I manually set up the AT&T config, but did not have to here. Could be the difference I suppose.

I can't readily compare to 6.1 because I haven't used it in a long time, but this ROM is definitely snappier than nav's 6.5 version. It loads faster, locks onto AT&T much faster, and web pages seem to load faster too. I'm just using it stock, I haven't added any additional software to it. I had nav's ROM on my Treo for several months, and would not go back from a performance perspective.
Having said that, I can confirm Z3rx's report of not being able to reply to emails. It just returns you to the Inbox when selecting reply either through the menu, or using the left action key. That's a big problem for me as I use e-mail quite a bit on my phone. Hope the OP doesn't disappear, as so many of the Treo 750 cookers seem to do after an initial release.

I agree that I hope the cook does not disappear, which is why I have asked for his cooked kitchen so I can make further improvements or port other version (23541)... however I have not heard anything back.
The email issue is a big problem as many times I can not even start a new email.
Please share your work so we can make a great rom!
Thank you, i was specting for something like this for about a year, anyone has some pictures of this new ROM working???
how the radio works how can i change the radio to get a better signal? here we have 850 umts and gsm 1800
Hi to all,i'm looking for a qwerty-keyboard phone for my gf,and i can't afford umts Blackberry (she has h3g sim),is this phone a good choice,even if it's really old?
I've found it for 90 €,it seems good to me,but i don't want to buy a too slow device.
I'm used to HTC Diamond,which has slightly better hardware but suffers using 3d manila and stuff "overrated" for its hw (despite the claims they sold it with in the past ).
Is Tytn II still good for 2d stuff and normal everyday usage?
I even see it has a dedicated android section,so maybe its better than diamond at handling it,this would be sweet too
Let me know,thanks for help
The build quility is superb, an incredible bit of engineering.
Graphics can be slow for heavy gamers or GPS applications. I really liked mine, only moved on as had it stolen.
I was on a 6.1 standard ROM & it ran very well for all basic phone tasks such as emailing sms/mms ect & handling office docs was good too.
I used it as a modem for notebook internet too. Wifi & BT worked ok & keyboard plus d-pad were nice in function.
Only downside is the weight of the device but for the price today it is incredible value for money, you will only find a few devices that feel such quality in build.
The tilt screen is very cool & they do look good sat on a desk in full tilt.
If she likes the look of it get it, plenty of tweaks & support for the Kaiser so should still be a fun device.
Not so good that it suffers gps apps,but i guess its normal...
And is it good to use limiting touchscreen inputs (she hates touchscreen )?
I mean,except for opening start menu,is it usable with hardware buttons,more than touch?
Yes it is very good in terms of button function.
I improved button function by using mortscripts that would change button function pending on active window & reg keys such as headphones connected, active sync connect ect.
Even the screen is quite good when you need to use it.
Touchscreens are over rated in usability, the touch diamond 2 would of been fantastic if it had a small joy stick d-pad in the centre under buttons but no you have to struggle with that ****e zoom bar touch panel which only has movement in 2 directions.
Tactile feel of buttons can never be replaced by a screen period.
I could do functions on my Kaiser without looking at it as buttons could act like brale.
The slow graphic issue didn't seem that bad to me, I used mapking & Garmin with no issues & played games such as Duke Nukem without issues.
I'm on a touch pro at the moment, I like it but miss the solid build of the Kaiser, it feels unbreakable ...
You could also look at the HTC S710 !
Just bought for my gf...its ****ing awesome,compared to my plastic-breaking-with-breath diamond :asd:
Just waiting to learn how to unlock
Speaking about cooked rom,any suggestion about a speedy rom (not necessarily manila,it just should be "handy to use" and light)?
And should i try android (aka is it fast and functional enough?)
Thanks everybody
edit: oh,and how can i check if it has hardspl installed already?
I was on latest standard rom with graphics driver from HTCCA.
I would start off on a standard ROM unless you spot an interesting custom ROM which has solid feedback.
To view HardSPL version go to bootloader mode:
-Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus
(exit bootloader by pressing soft reset button)
-HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
This is the unlock tools I used: (Not sure if supports 3 network !)

Go to the ROM development section, read through the FAQ links. That will give you some basic ideas what is available, etc.
If you want great batt life with plenty of memory, use WM 6.1, not 6.5 ..
To know which ROM is best, read through the last pages (10 - 20)of each thread, the feedback from the users will give you overall view. Why I suggested 10-20, because for old ROM that chef has left, recent posts are usually useless, repeating old questions again and again.

It is un-installable & should be no problem.
Make sure that stock 6.1 is the latest release. I can dig out a serial if you require ROM downloading direct from htc website.
how can i find if it's the latest release (i thought there was just one)?
I should have a serial number on mine too,for downloading,or am i missing something?
Thanks for all your help,anyway
@anagarika:wm 6.1 is for sure, even my diamond suffers from 6.5
ps:i entered bootloader,it says SPL 3.29,i guess it's still the original one
Latest HTC generic ROM is:
HTC TyTN II_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe
You can see ROM version in Settings device information.
If your device is branded your serial will not work with HTC website, so you will need a serial of a generic HTC kaiser ;-)
Your SPL is original. Installing the hardSPL is easy & unlocking can be quite straight forward but may require downgrading to wm6 ROM to unlock & then upgrading to a 6.1 rom of your choice.
My rom is 3.29.408.o ITA,other stuff is lke you posted...i guess it's the latest one then
Newest Italian is:
_HTC TyTN II_WM6.1_MR2_RUU_Kaiser_HTC_ITA_3.29.408.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.zip
So looks like your on newest ROM.
I already had d3d drivers ("previous version will be uninstalled")...all these concerns for nothing
Anyway i installed spb mobile shell 3.5,themed,and it's a good mid-point between eyecandy and memory usage...
I only have some hang-ups when i make some operations too fast (e.g. i open and reclose very fast an app),making me have to reboot the phone...but it only happens sometimes,and i guess it's related to mobile shell
I tried to install updated camera app yesterday (nadavi 5.xx) but then camera screen turned black,so i uninstalled.
I installed htc album too,but its menus are blank (i can select them with left and right keys,but nothing's written down)...do you know which version of these packages works for sure?
edit:i fixed camera problem,but album issue is still there,although i tried two different versions
Mmm don't know which HTC album viewer is your best option, I used Resco Photo viewer Pro as far surpases the HTC app.
Tried it,perfect program
Thanks a lot (i think there's no way to oc the cpu a little,right?)
Nope, just don't use CPU & graphic heavy software. Mine run sweet & was very usable.
