Have unbranded Rhodium, it came with 1.19.401.0. There is an updated ROM, 1.19.401.1.
There weren't a lot of fixes lists on HTC's website, can anyone mention any changes they have noticed? Apparently there is a bugfix for the shown ammount of RAM but other than that looks pretty useless to me.
I just don't want to upgrade the ROM and have to re-install everything unless it will actually help me...

it's pretty obvious that it;s a minor fix so need to go through the upgrade process. You may keep the current version.
Although I think you are fishing in the wrong water, who searches for official roms upgrades when there are great cooked wM6.5 ROM out there?

Hey All,
It's been almost two months since anyone released a WM5 ROM and there are several fix packs out for all of them now. Are any of the releasers planning to create a new build?
The reason I ask is that there have been lots of questions on upgrading recently. The wiki is quite out of date WRT what ROMs are available and which are recommended. Presently, anyone wanting to upgrade to WM5 must read through several multi-page threads to figure out if they need any fixes. This sucks bigtime. I'd much prefer a "release-often" strategy, with new fixes integrated into newer versions, along with short topics containing info specific to that ROM (and not generic WM5 questions).
Failing any new releases, could someone please spend a short while either writing a post or a wiki page specifying which ROM is the best to use, along with any required and optional fixes? A list of known issues would be useful. I'd do it myself, but a) don't have the time right now and b) I don't know the current states of the various ROMs, and any related issues.
I'd really like to see a shift to a "community" developed ROM, with the kitchen code in source-control somewhere that select people can contribute to when the original contributers go elsewhere. Has anyone done this in the XDA-dev world before? It would be great to be able to run "make vanilla" or "make all" using a build system that can be continually improved by all those involved.
Cheers,
Fraser.
There is almost everything you mentioned:
Just visit the wiki - its Helmi ROM(the best one) and the page with fixes can also be found.
I am not sure if there are all of the fixes but I hope so, I will make a review soon. And the vanila wiki as I promised (not so soon )
+----+
And about the source-control if its not you who want to make a future development or if you dont know someone then its not necessary

IMO helmi_c vanilla version is the best one - clean and stable.
I'm working on small update of 1.4.Vanilla - to include BA_AKU3.5_v1.4_Fix1.CAB, Camera_Patch.CAB, several minor cleanings and tweaks and - the most important - to delete built-in .Net.CF.1.0 and to include .Net.CF.2 with service packs. In fact - it is done, but I need several days to verify things.

Excellent, I just took a closer look. It's been a while since I last looked at it I guess, things are looking pretty good.

The idea was that rather than having everyone work on different roms, there would be a central place to keep all of the things required to build it. Then, improvements are beneficial to all. I've used many open-source projects in the past, including things like OpenWRT which has a neat builder that downloads everything it needs. Something like that for ROM building would be very useful. Source control is necessary IMHO as it enables any developer involved in the project to be able to see the specific changes between updates. This vastly assists in tracking down bugs as well as improving communication of the work being done.

I'll keep my eye out for this; my original post was prompted by me wanting to perform an upgrade soon.
Out of curiosity, does the vanilla build loose out on some ROM space that would otherwise be used by the fuller ROMs?

There is only 15 (0xf) free sectors, so even helmi's fixes wouldn't fit into.
yes me too...
currently I'm on Helmis Vanilla version..I can't wait to try your updated ROM...

hopefully we van get alternate resources from somewhere ese... it would be a shame to see all this great development go
The world is not over! We will just not use the FTP but other servers!
Why is this a problem? We can just use 4shared, rapidshare, magaupload, sharebig and the million other quality sharing hosts out there.
This will make it more difficult for people to post viruses.
As for the ROM upgrades, I'm looking forward to xplodes AKU 3.5 3rd edition ROM which is in final testing at the moment. For me, Helmi Vanilla version just didn't match it's speed - did like the shiny "egg timer" symbol though . I am sure xplode has something up his sleeve!
Can someone please consolidate a post together for us of the method(s) of going from WM5(AT&T) to WM6(latest Voda Rom) + AT&T enhancements. All steps and or things we need to do. Since it seems that AT&T is never going to actually release a ROM and this will most likely be the only way any of us ever get it , it would be good to have a consolidated path so that more people will be able to understand and upgrade in a more consistent way. This way with all the steps in one place its more likely less people will brick their phones.
Thanks to the community for all that you have discovered thus far.

In all honestly, the leaked ATT ROM is more than likely going to the the official ROM. As someone who's tried both, I really don't see any difference, even with the ATT software installed on the vodafone rom. The speed people keep claiming seems to be more of a side effect of the hard reset required with flashing the ROM.

I tried both, I think Voda is better because ATT is (still) affected by the alert loss problem (as the wm5 cingular rom)

Possibly, however my money would be on the fact that this problem is actually fixed in the WM6 ATT rom, but without one of the Palm engineers actually telling us what's different between the leaked WM6 roms and the old ROM there's no good way to be sure.
Hey Everyone,
There are a lot of great roms floating around out there as well as newer cabs. I wanted to know if anyone has take the last official release from HTC for the ATT Tilt / Kaiser and tried applying some of the newer cabs. Did you notice any big improvements?

What improvements would you expect apart from adding whatever software is installed ?
Cooked ROMs are able to cut the guts out of a bloated stock rom and maybe run slightly quicker, but simply applying the cabs to a stock rom wont make any "big improvements" .. just adding software.
If you were talking about the D3D drivers, that another issue entirely.

What about the D3D drivers? Are there any changes in the last official ROM update that affect the D3D drivers?
... or is this it for the Xperia? Is the product officially dead or can we expect anything to come?
There will be definitely one more firmware. German telephone support told that to several people; maybe still in August they say.
Have a look to the relaunched official korean x1-page - then you'll see that it has definitely not died yet.

What are you expecting in an update? I wouldn't hold my breath for another update. SE barely supported the X1 when it was their only top phone. Now that X2 and X3 are coming, I find it even more doubtful we'll get something new for the X1.
All is not lost. The X1 isn't bad as-is though.

well ... win 6.5 would be cool =) .. and maybe full confirmed versions of the stuff that leaked months ago e.g. like new panel manager ... then maybe a few more panels ... I dont know.. general improvements .. the phone is only 9 months or so old and for a premium product I feel like there should be a bit more support for it.
I just think its been awfully quiet the last couple of weeks. I would like to hear from Itje again if he has a chance given that he is a SE insider. Maybe he can give us some information as to what we can expect.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but since R3A firmware is out I have not experienced any bug or problem. It also bring us more features.
So, I do not see the need to have released a new firmware better than R3A.

be better if some of the SE applications were smoother
i cant expect another rom as R3a is pretty much sorted all the issues. however it was dissapointing not to get the new panel manager and panels also the updated camera software,
I would say that the leaked supposed R3A stuff will be in the X2 or racheal but no more for the X1, this would be nnice though
Im happy and not chasing any updates, the X1 does not overheat, lag or hang in my opinion so no issues to resolve for me.
Yes I'm sure the leaked stuff was for X2.
leaked videos of the X2 show the new panel manager. It is also advertised that the X2 will contain new panels.
well the r3 software does have bugs in it. opera no longer smooth scrolls using the optical joystick for one, and the screen still freezes every now and then too.
basically i found the upgrade from r2 to r3 was a downgrade. i didn't have any problems before running r2.
before you consider the rom buggy, you have to look at all your apps and tweaks...my screen never froze on me and i do not have any bugs and i am running r3a, i dont even have to reset my device unless i am trying some new incompatible software...
as long as you put something on ur device from a 3rd party source, you alter the way it operates, may be slower, buggy or even both...my r3a is stable as ever
^^^ Yes, that's been my experience too. Whenever something doesn't seem right, I start looking at which third-party app is causing the issue. I don't blame the ROM or the OS. They're probably the most stable of everything we put in our phones.
i am facing the same problem. my earlier update was better in all aspects. R3 actually felt more of a downgrade than upgrade.
Feel free to go back to R2A. If I had a worse feeling with R3A compared to R2A then I would simply downgrade. Where is the problem?

NO....but personally in my opinion why do you need an official when there is soooo much newer ROM in this forum?? most roms here are much newer than official ROM anyway.
true, just thought to try the official if there was before the cooked rom due to option/settings set by the chef that i may not want on a cooked rom

No official 6.5 ROM on T8282.
Mean no disrespect, newer doesn't always mean better. Especially when the hand-held device used on daily, real time based events.
It really sucks when you are checking up your schedule, the mobile phone went froze, with someone waiting your answers.
IMHO, stability, quick response are much more important than newer version. MS please give us one...8(

Well that's definitely TRUE! But you know that is why normally you should wait for other people to comment before installing them. You will find out whether they are seriously bug or rock stable. I dont know which ones you are using? but I have been using the latest Energy 23554 with GTX theme, and never had a single problem (crash or restart). In fact the GTX version look awesome! You need to remember most of the ROMs here are built from Non-official ROM or betas...so dont expect to be perfect!

Actually most of the Blackstone owners have been hoping for a free upgrade, including myself. Unfortunately I think HTC dont like that idea, maybe because it will affect the sales of their newer HTC Leo. But anyway...i dont really care now...since we have this great forum anyway...
okay i'll give energy 23557 a try and see how it goes
Really no point on upgrading. HTC is bussy creating other phones (mainly Android since WM is dead).
Can someone provide a single thing that we gain with WM 6.5?
I mean the OS itself, not a ROM based on WM 6.5 that comes with updated manilla, Opera, Office etc,. You can install any app on AM 6.1 too.
WM 6.1 uses less RAM, leaving more for the apps (on 6.5 I start with 50% used and after a while even after closing all apps, 65% used). And the start menu has a MRU app list that makes very fast to switch from one app (open or not) to another. I still have to see how WM 6.5 is better in any aspect.
