hi guys,
i'm not sure if anyone has posted this but here I go...
has anyone tried using the XDA IIS rom upgrade of June 2005 posted at O2 website? I'm about to try it but I'm afraid to do it since there might be bugs on it.
would like to ask you guys if it's ok to upgrade to this ROM. Currently, my ROM is 1.12.62 WWE. As much as possible, I'm settling for O2 official releases but I just wanna make sure if this one's ok.
cheers!
Currently i'm using the latest update o2 Asia and so far it works really good except a little problem that i found with the camera that makes the brightness set to maximum. And also the HTC caller ID problem [ringtone and picture display doesn't work].
Overall, it runs smoothly.
I hope this helps.
does this mean that currently you don't have caller ID display and ringtone on your IIs?
cheers!
sometimes it's on and sometimes it's off, when it's off i rerun the caller id from the startup directory, or you can install 3rd party software like photo contacts.
Is this ROM ok to load onto a UK XDA IIs? Has anyone done this?
IIs user from Philippines
I flashed my IIs with the new official ROM.
I find it more stable than the old ROM plus other new features like WMPver.10. Well worth the upgrade. I could view videos of websites (eg.INQ7) which under the OLD ROM I cannot.
After the ROM and Radio Update, I uninstalled the O2Plus. I didnt noticed any increase in stability or speed after unistalling it though.
I also updated the Radio ROM to Ver.1.13 which I got from WIKI.xda-developers.com.
BTW, I got my IIs from Globe. I still retain the GPRS setting plus gain a new GPRS setting for my SUN SIM. ALSO, I use a DUAL SIM Adaptor which I bought from 3rd Glorietta Cell Stall. There is also GPRS Setting for SMART just in case you got yours from there.
You could also install the O2 II Plus, GPRS Counter and ZIP Manager from official O2 site. I dont use it as it slows down the IIs. I tried yesterday DKToday2.8 but it slows down a bit the IIs.
Only the following softwares are now installed (IIs is very stable and quick):
PshutXP
CorePlayer
Agile Mobile
Avantgo
ChessPPC
Skype
WordNet (dictionary)
In the Green Theme
Cai, Go ahead you will not go wrong. PM if you need help.
OVERALL, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE UPDATE.
thanks xcalibur! this is great news. I've really needed people's idea on the new rom of O2 before installing it, especially philippine users. I got mine from globe too...i'll try this then....
cheers!
O2 June 2005 version
I loaded the latest O2 Asia version recently. I was, too, apprehensive about bugs and the like. However, I haven't found anything but improvement in my XDA IIs performance up to now. I would recommend it.
I've been using the new O2 ROM since its release and I think it's garbage.
Slightly more rleiable than the previous version but my phone still requires resetting 3 times a day due to hang ups, freezing, crashing when trying to switch to landscape and so on.
If you intend to upgrade the radio to 1.13 then, use asia apparently i have done some testing. Tried o2uk,imate,qtek and once u upgrade the 1.13 for their rom, it causes the device to lag terribly. I would suggest you to do the upgrade to the ASIA version if you are intending to upgrade to 1.13 radio
else, i think any of the rest should be ok..
ASIA 1.40.923 WWE
I concur. The Asia WWE with the 1.13 is working well for me. Still have some problems with bluetooth out of memory and not being able to access BT manager, but over all the best combo I have used. Battery life seems much improved and switching between GPRS and Wi-Fi works very well on this ROM combo. Using in conjunction with phone Alarm (1.13] and AlarmToday. Auto profile switching and wake to music, all working well..
june update ???
am i being a bit thick ???
the only version i can see for download on the O2 uk site is the february update. Can someone supply a link straight to the download ???
swerver
That's the latest official one from O2 UK, but most of the other providers have already released their 1.40 versions, which are all available on the wiki site: www.wiki.xda-developers.com

June Update ???
At the top of this thread it says that the O2 site has the june update, he didnt mention WIKI site ????
Just tried the link you gave and it gave an error ???
swerver
I believe that the first poster is probably taling about the O2 Asia ROM that is on the O2 Asia site. As far as I know, O2 UK have not released their new 1.40 version yet.
The link I posted should have taken you to the companion site to this one, where all the various ROMs and upgrade tools are posted. Are you familiar with the wiki site¿ There is a direct link to it in the header of this thread I believe. Let me know if you have problems finding it.
Regards
Chris
hi guys,
i've seen the ROM upgrade from O2 asia site. It's found in www.seeo2.com.
regards!
Asian Rom upgrade 1.40 for Xda IIs
I really must be thick, but I cannot find the actual file to download. I am registered at seeo2.com, get to the instructions page on how to install it but somehow miss the actual link to install it! Can anyone help me with the actual download link or another site to download the file
Thanks Guys
Hi Smithy
There is a link at the top of this page to, www.wiki.xda-developers.com
Navigate there and follow the links to Blue Angel. All the shipped ROMS are posted on that site, plus the 1.13 radio, which I do not think is part of the original O2Asia ROM. I believe it only had 1.12
The site also has comprehensibe instructions on how to upgrade. Let us know if you get stuck.

I've recently upgraded my XDA IIs' ROM to the June 2005 version (1.40 something). The note on the O2 website indicates that we can set mp3 ringtones already. Here are my findings:
1) Under Phone in Settings/Personal, it still doesn't have the option of setting mp3s as ringtone, it seems to be looking for .wav files only.
2) The Photo Contacts that came with the phone has the option of choosing mp3s, it can even preview the file, but whenever I try dialling my phone using my friend's, it goes back to default, not just the default I have setup in Settings/Personal/Phone, it uses the Windows Default tone. How come? Can anyone shed some light on this one?
3) Are there any battle tested programs/apps out there which can activate the mp3 ringtones feature the new ROM promised, and that works with XDA IIs? Help! :?
Hi Yaozer
I have not seen where you can set a MP3 as a ringtone... The only files mine sees are .wav, wma and midi. I use phoneAlarm by PocketMax (www.pocketmax.net), which does allow you to set a wake up alarm that activates a MP3 file. The file has to be in main storage I believe. Activating one a a ringtone may be in a forthcoming version.
Regards
Chris
I was looking around for these apps.
I recently upgraded my SX66 to the most recent ROM (thank you!!!!) and I wanted to try these apps out. Does anyone have the cracked version?
Thank you!!!!
As far as i know you must have hardware radio tuner to use radio app, i have not seen mediaplus ported to any device yet, except xda atom of course
Thanks

I have and it froze and never worked for me..it's ashame, it look so nice!
Did you download NETCF 2.0
It is required to be installed for Google Navigator to work.
The last time I used google navigator it used direct3d and if it still does its going to run really slow because there is no hardware support on the kaiser yet.

i cant seem to get iGO 2006, iGO 2008 (prerelease), or MioMap to work after flashing duttys wm6.1 rom.
was anyone else with this rom able to get gps to work?
hey, after i flashed to duttys 6.1, it took a long time to make a gps connection. i ended up flashing back to one of duttys 6.0 roms for that and also the lack of voice dialing...i think its something with all 6.1 roms...
omar
i had the same problem i just changed radio rom then the gps worked straight away.
KAIS_Radinly_1.64.08.21_CustomRUU
first i would say, next time it's better to ask the questions in the rom thread where the problem belongs to... (no offense....!)
second it's a known issue with igo and some WM6.1 versions - not only dutty's versions (with dutty's March 4 edition it's working,
with the March 8 editon it was working with HTC Home music tab disabled (or disabling HTC Home in general) for me...strange, but true
peace brothers
ask the questions in the rom thread where the problem belongs to...

sorry i just noticed that most posts in the rom section are useful posts containing a rom or file, while in this section its about half attachments and half questions. so i figured i would just post where there is already questions.
thanks for the replies, but right now dutty's website is down so i cant get any radios.
i dont even know if the gps doesnt work, cuz i havent even been able to test it, as i said, the programs just wont launch. i click the .exe and the little loading thing appears for a second and nothing happens.
so until duttys site is back up..lets continue this thread?
who out there has dutty's 6.1 rom? are you using gps? what program? thanks.
Im using the March 4th edition with radio 1.64.08.21 and I have 4 programs that use the GPS, Tomtom, Google maps, the GPS today plugin and VITO's Astro Navigator. They all connect and get a fix between 4-30 sec's
Ok i found the solution, and a thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368179
with the current version of dutty's rom you have to disable the music tab on the htc home plugin, i dont know why, its pretty gay, but it works.
im gonna try and install another htc home and see if it helps.

Has anyone tried Skype on their Diamond? Mine tries to run and gives me an error. I had the same problem when I upgraded my Tytn II to WM 6.1 and after that I installed Dyffy's version of WM and got it to work. Maybe HTC's Rom isn't designed for Skype???
skype not working
My skype is also not working on my diamond. I used the latest skype which I d/l from skype site a week ago.
Anyone got skype working? If so which version?
Yeah....
Not working...

Version problem
It worked fine on my (possibly) pre-release UK grey imported Diamond 1.34.831.1 ROM. Once I upgraded to the 1.37.707.1 ROM Skype no longer starts. Crashes NK.exe which is not a nice thing to do to the Kernel.

Do you happen to have a dump of this rom so we could perhaps analyze the differences?
I have read somewhere that Skype doesn't work on WM6.1, but your pre-release diamond had WM6.1 right? So the 6.1 compatibility issue is out of the question then...
damn it works on my good old htc 3300 but not diamond
I have skype working on all my kaiser roms so i will try to get it working on diamond not tested yet though

Hey guys, tried on my htc Diamond also, not working. It freezes the window when launching the application and i'm using Elite 2.0.
it's a WM 6.1 issue go to the skype support forum and see for yourself.
Skype on Diamond already solved ???
Maybe you find a working version anywhere in the net...
You could use fring in the meantime.

On my Diamond it works perfect. I have the icon in Programs. If you don't have it you can create a shortcut of skype from ,,programs'' folder in ,,windows - start menu-programs'' folder.
v.2.2.0.37 works great, got it from the Skype site
