Looks like the same ROM that was leaked a few days ago. This contains the same Ext ROM that I used to create the Mr. Clean AKU 2.3 T-Mobile UK ROM.

I've not yet tried upgrading the ROM on my UK Vario, but I guess now is the time to think about it. I want to keep my stored SMS and MMS messages, but everything else on the machine I'll probably clean-install and re-tweak as necessary once I get the new ROM flashed. I've got a good idea of what I do and don't want in my Vario after 5 months use, and I guess now would be a great time to get rid of all the junk that's probably clogging up the registry by now.
A couple of questions:
I know I can make a backup copy of the current ROM onto a clean SD card, but can I back it up onto a partially used card (i.e. using the file system, rather than raw data blocks).
I backup my Vario regularly using SPB Backup. Can the SPB Restore utility restore just my SMS/MMS messages (including user-created folders) without reinstalling anything else, so I can keep a nice clean machine?
The UK T-Mobile release is 2.0, whereas "Mr Clean ROM" is 2.3. I'm guessing 2.3 is better, but what am I likely to lose (if anything) that's on the T-Mobile ROM? Is the stereo bluetooth headset facility on both? I've already removed most of the obvious T-Mobile pink stuff, and put in a better dialler skin, etc. In fact, I don't really want T-Mobile's dialler skin at all, as I've been trying to get rid of their modified history & speeddial icons for ages!
Finally, what about reinstalling things like TomTom - will doing so remove my user-defined favourite place settings, etc? (my maps are stored on SD card)
Thanks for any advice, I'm a little nervous here...

^^^ Same questions and concerns for me.
Also, I flashed my T-Mobile UK MDA from original ROM to Qtek 2.17 ROM a month ago. I SIM & CID unlocked it in the process using Lokiwiz 0.2b - do I need to prep the phone with Lokiwiz 0.3 before flashing the MDA to keep it unlocked?
Cheers in advance.

Things I've noticed so far:
1)
The Comms screen has been radically changed, adding a "push" button (deactivated on my uk t-mobile vario for some reason) and another button that looks like a ppc to ppc connection.
2)
The battery icon has moved from the bottom right corner to the top right corner, on the top panel, (where the time used to be) and has turned an ugly shade of green. I presume it goes yellow -> red when on low power.
3)
In the programs, something called "SAP Settings" has been added.
It's used for remote sim access apparently.
4)
"Running Programs" is now a program and can be seen on the start menu
6)
"Comm manager is now a program that appears on the "running programs" list.
5)
When starting up, it displays the t-mobile screen followed by the WINDOWS MOBILE screen instead of just the t-mobile screen.
Finally, this could because of a cleaner registry and stuff, but it does feel somewhat more efficient.

So would the early adopters say it is better or worse than the mighty summiter/Mr Clean (Uk) versions
Bhayani

Right now I like the Mr Clean version better, but I only had that on for a weekend and the new one has only been on for an hour or so.

Personally after a day with it I'm tempted to go back to the qtek 2.17 rom

Hi can someone post up the MMS settings as I didn't note them down when I updated the rom - doh! UK of course.

Thats interesting.... Im using a Qtek 2.17 ROM at the moment and am considering upgrading, but Im holding back at the moment. What dont you like?

Bad news here. I've been running the Mr Clean Comes to London ROM for a few days with no problems at all and before that one of the Qtek ones and the unit never reset itself which it had ben doing with the T-Mobile ROM from the start of the year. I am happy with the performance of the new T-Mobile ROM after installing it yesterday but overnight it went back to soft resetting itself as all of my open programs were shut down this morning. Also when I turned it on the screen wasn't responding so I ended up doing another reset.
I'll leave it over the weekend but it looks like the spontaneous reset problem hasn't been resolved. Strange that T-Mobile can't fix that but all the other ROMs seem to have it licked!

Of course it could be something T-Mobile has put in that's causing it. I'm thinking Mr Clean is the way to go...

quick rom question

Hi,
I've been using this forum for a while but think this is my first ever post!
I've been having problems with the search function today so decided its going to be quicker if someone can help me out.
I've never updated the rom on my wizard (which was on o2 but i unlocked and usign t-mobile uk sim now) though as im using push email the not vibrating when on standby thing is starting to piss me off.
Question is which rom do i need to fix that standby problem?
currently mine is on
rom version: 2.21.4.1 WWE
date 3/9/06
radio version 02.07.10
protocol version 413.1.03
extrom version 2.21.4.101
bit of a begginer with this so not sure if its g3 or g4 :S
thanks for any help

You can use my Molski.Biz roms.
Never heard that someone that uses my Rom has the same problem like you.
Regards,
Molski

have you tried going to settings, sounds and notifications, then tick the notifications tab at the bottom, under Event choose Messaging: New Email message then tick the option for vibrate?
dont know if this works while in standby or not, but know the option is there and turned off by default

yeah its set to make a sound and vibrate etc... which it does when its on, just in stand by it doesnt do it.
Heard about the problem before tbh which is how i know its a romproblem.
Just downloaded the t-mobile usa rom which imgonna give a blast, nothing to loose i guess

ahh had a go late last night and learned a few more things which if id spent longer reading the forum id have found out lol.
Right my phones a G4 and was an o2 uk phone.
First problem was it seems impossible to update a rom in vista as when it goes into bootloader mode vista disconnects from the phone. had a go with xp and got further.
Next problem is seems I can only use o2 uk roms presumably due to it being CID locked which am i right in thinking you have to pay to unlock?
Sooo if I want a nice new rom am I right in thinking im buggered? lol

Vario III flased with HTC 6.1 Rom - Slow Rotation

Hello,
I flashed a T-Mobile MDA Vario III with HTC latest official rom (WM 6.1) and now screen rotation on slide out / in is much slower. Sometimes it takes up to 4 seconds.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Craig Brass

I can't really point to a solution with the ROM you're using; in fact I'd be willing to guess that it's just a side-effect of that particular ROM - I don't imagine the Radio ROM in your device not being best-suited for the OS ROM would deliver slow screen rotation as a side-effect.
All I can say is that I recently flashed to AthineOS and EVERYTHING is quick on it. Screen rotation when sliding occurs within a second I'd say - it might be slightly over a second, I haven't timed it, but either way it's very quick, and quicker than the T-Mobile WM6.0 ROM...
Anyway, hope you get it sorted... Let us know if you find a solution for your current ROM.
Regards,
Rob.

T-Mobile considerations
I seem to recall HTCs fix for this in their HTC Branded WM 6.1 'upgrade' involved more than just the ROM but if the radio and spl are going to be upgraded as well, people need to make sure there are backups of the originals first because in some countries (and Craig didn't say where he's from or fill in that part of his profile), T-Mobile use customised versions and special network configuration. Perhaps a T-Mobile customer can comment whats reqd from experience? I haven't tried searching but I suspect that'd pull something relevant up as well.

Ok, I flashed with AthineOS as suggested. Nearly perfect. Couple of things :-
1. I flashed the official dialer for the voice calling. Before, when launched, it would show Contacts as the left button. Now it shows Hide Keypad. How do I get it to show Contacts again?
2. TouchFlo 3D shows the calender list but when clicked it launches the default phone calender app. I have Developer One Agenda One Installed and I want it to launch this. How do I do that?

Help unlock in kaiser

Could anyone offer assistance in unlocking my kaiser i have spent quite a bit of time reading and searching the forums without much success. I have tried to install hard spl and used olipro's unlocking tools with no success, the machine either goes gray white with no progress bar or a bar appears and sits at 0%. I have also attempted to try using the boot from sim method with no success, my machine is an orange branded tytn11 running wm 6.1
when going into bootlooader mode i am presented with :
kais130
spl-3.27.0000
cpld-8
on initial startup i am presented with :
R 1.65.16.25
G 25.83.40.02H
D 3.28.00.00
the errors i get range from incompatible device to failure to communicate errors when active sync is connected. I have evn tried buying the sim code ( fortunately i got a refund as that would not work either) and now have a sim lockout timer on my machine. Could somone please point me in the direction of a solution that is relatively simple and without wading through masses of pages.
Thanks very much for your time people

Just read all the first pages of the roms and see which one interests you. I have been using TPC Extreme and Abusalza's Ultimate X series, both excellent 6.1 roms I also spent some time with mbarivan's Solice series and sakajati's Hyperdragon series. When I felt like WM 6.5, I have used Josh's anryl's and sakajati's 6.5 roms. Now that you have Hardspl'd your phone, you can try them all. Or stick to your stock rom, but try a few cusytom roms,they are so much better than stock.

[Q] At&t Tilt 2 new "rom" and radio

Hi everyone, im def a noob and have summarized a few questions which i cant find answers after extensive research for past 2 weeks, so any help will be appriciated!!!
1- The new "rom upgrade" released for at&t tilt 2 comes with the radio ending in .95 but i get horrible reception everywhere i go. I somehow stumbled upon htc europe radio ending in .17 and i get great reception but the problem is the phone itself becomes unusable due to the change in the htc sense. My question is.........
A-is there a way to put the radio i want but run the the new os?
B-is anyone else from NY area using a radio which gives great reception?
C-which is the best radio to use in my area?
2- I downloaded whole bunch of cooked rom's for the tilt 2(e.g., cookie gtx themed) then unpacked the .rar file and then i double click on the file and.....nothing? absolutely nothing happens, firewall and everything else is off, but nothing starts on the screen and yes my phone is connected via active sync and i did the hardspl thing, can anyone shed some light on this?
3- I have probably tried 3 different apps to disable "sms sent" notification, butt the damn thing doesnt go away, what do i do? and i read sumthing bout registry change but i dont even know where to start!
4- this is more of a request, if you guys can recommend me a fast & slick ROM with the best possible radio for ny area and looks cool as s*** then that would be appriciated.
Thanks guys and sorry for being the typical noob!!

Hmmmmm. Wrong section, this is G1 section
