Hello everyone,
I would like to start this new thread with a different purpose than trying to explorer the latest and gratest of releases of ROMs, extensions, software and patches.
I have tested many of the releases posted here and I have yet to find one that offer a rock solid unit that can be depended on in all situations.
What I would like is to put together a package based on the best of all available that offer the highest reliability available for our device.
It's very annoying to have to reset the device, somtimes more than one time in one day because you loose GPRS connectivety or because you turn on the WiFi card at an unlucky moment and lock up the device.
It's very annoying that you press the answer button repeatedly but have trouble picking up the rining phone.
It's very annoying that you try to make a call, but the phone keeps hanging up without making the call until you reset the phone subsystem.
It's very annoying that you pick up the device to make a call only to find that for some reason the phone has been locked up for hours with the screen on and now you are out of power and far away from your charger.
It's very annoying that your screen gets garbled and you find that you are unable to get the display back to normal without resetting the device.
It's very annoying that bluetooth more or less have turned out to be a marketing item only, since we have yet to se an implementation on the device that works (and maybe we never will)
If you agree with me or/and have experienced some or probably all of the above and have some input you would like to share on what is the best release, or have software and patched that have made a difference to you, then please contribute and maybe we could one day have a reliable operating system and software pack on our PDA that we can actually trust to handle the important task of keeping us connected to the rest of the information based world 24/7.
I hope many people will participate in this thread and that we can get to a release of software that we can all feel happy about, since it seems that none of the providers have been able to accomplish this task.
Michael
Fully agreed with you. And here is my BA config:
- MDA III with 1 Gb SD (Trandcent 80x)
- ROM 1.40 & radio 1.12
- Big storage - No Extended ROM
- Excluded nearly all software from WWE 1.40 ExtROM. Install only patched
Most apps are installed to storage :lol:
- Pocket Informant 2005 (In main memory)
- Pocket breeze 5 (In main memory)
- Pocket Player 2.6
- Sound Explorer 2005
- Pocket Navigator 2.74
- Sprite backup 3.1.4
- Mobile Pocket reader 5.0
- Total Commander 2.0
- Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.0 for PPC
- Tools: Cab Installer, vxUtils, Tascal Reg. Editor TRE 0.9, calculator, stop time ...
Full backup with Sprite backup 3.1.4, excutable archive file so that I can restore to a fully loaded system righ after hard reset. The backup is also in storage.
With this config the phone is very stable. On average 1 soft reset/week, mostly due to phone problem (I work in a building with very week GSM signal).

while ive not bothered to update for exactly one year now, i truely couldn't be bothered with the rom backup, new rom, install settings, settings restore, all to find out that... oh others are still having a problem with phones hanging/not connecting, because you used bluetooth and didn't reset before using gprs. of course, silly me!
right now i'm looking for a stable basic setup, with Tomtom 5 (bt gps mouse) and gprs useage... and possibly, using them together!
it does seem experimenting is only way to do so...
What a good idea - however, after one year of updating ROMs I do not think that there is a stable system for this device after all ...
I cannot use my Qtek for business because
- I am not sure whether I will miss a call because my Qtek somehow decides not to ring
- I am never sure whether I can finish a call decently (or the devices shuts down on its own)
And I am tired of resetting the device before and after
- using WLAN
- using BT
Currently, I am on
ROM 1.42.01 GER
Radio 1.12.00
ExtROM 1.42.116 GER
which still has all the flaws mentioned above.
This is the 4th different ROM I have installed (WWE, GER). I mainly use it for storing contact info and meetings.
A
I still wan't to try.
I'm using a configuration of 1.40 and 1.12. This is OK, but the phone app is still quite unstable and the device itself will hang. Most trouble seems to be when you press a key at an unlucky split second when the unit is trying to do something else, this often leads to lockups.
Does anyone have any input regarding the version numbers to use? Especially is 1.42 or 1.31 better than 1.40? and is 1.12 better than 1.13 or vice versa?
What about patches and registry hacks, what do you consider being a vital patch or hack to improva stability dramatically ... ? If any.
I hope to get some input from you guys that install every single thing and have gained allot of input on what works and what doesn't?
Michael
This combination seems to be vert stable for Scandinavians
I have had very good results so far with this combination:
BA_DT_WWE_NorwayRetail_14000_149_11200_Ship.exe
Then install:
86794-9090_radio_upgrade_1.15.00.zip
This is so far the bes experience I have had while I had the device.
Michael
Update
After a while, I have observed that I'm still having the GPRS connect problem and I have therefore installed the:
IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
I will update my experience in a while. So far I like this combination, except that GPRS cinnection problem. I haven't had many other problems. There has been a little "flutter" around Blue Tooth and TomTom, If you try to start TomTom with BT disabled, you sometimes seem to grid lock until you re-boot.
Extended ROMs
Is it my imagination? The higher the extended ROM version the less stabillity? It seems to me that way. The more stuff they add, the less overall stability you get. Does anyone have a different experience?

i find that when upgrading to the new WM5 roms, that all my files, programs and settings, even contacts and messages are all still as i left them, i just put the device into bootloader and plonk into the cradle, then start upgrade 2 mins later its done, all new features and nothing that is usually backed up is changed.
The best stabillity so far
I'm still running with the configuration outlined in my previous posts. And it's pretty stable, the only problems I seem to be affected by are:
After 1 to 7 days the GPRS connection fails and I have to reset the device to get it working.
Rarely some applications and the phone gets in a bind somehow, probably by starting at the same time in an incompatible way and lock up the phone. I have to reboot the device to get out of that.
The phone part itself seems to be stable and I have no missing sound or low volume issues.
I had good bluetooth functionality, but since paring my device with my GPS I can't get the device to connect correctly to my headset. I will pair up and then when it tries to connect it fails. I'm unsure what that's about. I don't use the bluetooth headset much, so I haven't been bothered much by this, but I would ofcourse prefer if everything was working as you would expect it to!
I would upgrade my base ROM to 1.42, but my testing and experiences with that have been that it's more unstable than 1.40.
I'm even more convinced now that I'm right about the extended ROM thing, the higher the version of extended ROM to more problems (potential problems).
Any input on stability are very welcome, I would love to find a near perfect configuration where most things work 100% and all the time.

So I'd like to flash a cooked ROM on to my Tilt, but I'd like to keep the functionality of BlackBerry Connect for work, which ROM will do this? My other concern is that I hear there is a way to hack the phone that will let me have BBC and MediaNet running at the same time as necessary, the whole disconnect this to get to that and vice versa has been my main annoyance with BBC because I can't get my IMAP mail when BBC is running.
I have run Blackberry Connect successfully with every ROM I've flashed. Specifically
Dutty's 04/29
L26 v4
currently Death v3
You have to edit the registry setting for aku to .0.4.2
also , most ROMs will turn on the screen when receiving an email... which drains the batery....the L26 ROM does not, however, it has issues holding connectivity to all AT&T settings and I gave up on it.
The Death v3 ROM is what I'm running now - it's very fast and does not crash on me...but it does suffer from 'screen on when email receipt"

From what I've been able to determine, this is a fault of BBC rather than the ROM. I went backwards one step and don't have that problem any more. I really didn't see a difference between the 2 BBC versions except the dreaded screen on email receipt.

Sounds good, I usually read the emails as they arrive since I work in IT so I'll think of it as an accidental blessing. But what about multiple data connections. Having to suspend BBC has been getting on my nerves for a while now. :/
No one has answer?

WM6.1 allows muliple simultaneous data connections. This is nice when you have BBC running and another app like Weather Panel that relies on internet updates.
u have to flash a rom that has the modification made in the provisioning xml document. it is not cuz of wm6.1 but rather the change for vpns has to be cooked in.
search the rom dev forum.
Death v3.5, and Dutty's 04/29 all do simultaneous data for me Laurentius L26 v4 did also but it was very flaky .. lots of "answering modem has disconnected" type messages I gave up on it

OK, so then I could just download my cooked ROM of choice and make that edit before I flash my Tilt? Sounds simple enough. Thanks!
Thanks for everyone's help. I loaded up Death's 3.5 and it's working as I hoped. 2 simultaneous connections and it seems to be working great!
Twinpeaks, my device doesn't turn on when I get mail, so maybe I'm lucky?
Hi to all
I've the same problem that many people have, as I've seen here in the forum.
Quick gps doesn't update anymore. I've tried all the registry tweaks that I've found but nothing. I've written to HTC but they don't have answered.
I've tried quickgps from kaiser but without success. So, I should do an Hard reset but I want avoid it. Is there someone that has the cab for the diamond's quickgps ? I've seeked here and in other forums but I don't have have found anything. Perhaps reinstalling the original cab should resolve the problem.
My quickgps version is 1.0 build 1815.2630. Rom is 1.37 official from HTC, italian.
Thank you very much to all
here you , QuickGPS 1.04

Sorry, but perhaps I don't have explained myself well.
The file you've attached is GPStest to test gps connection. I am seeking quickgps, the cab that allows internal gps to fix faster.
Sorry for misunderstanding
you can get it from here i think

Thanks a lot, but I have tried it yet. I think that only the specific version for diamond go. When i try to install another version it says me "digital signature with certified reliable not available" etc.
Perhaps because another version is yet installed, but, being in rom, it's impossible to uninstall it. So I wanted the same version installed to overwrite it hoping it will function well.
QuickGPS connection failed
hi all.
i am also having some trouble with my touch diamond (p3700) & quickGPS.
i've had the p3700 for 2 months, and so far so good. i used quickGPS when i first got the p3700 and all worked well. i have loads of apps installed, and around 5 GPS included ie. GarminXT, Route66, iGO8, MapKing2007 etc. all have been working well.
yesterday i decided to update the packedEphemeris data via quickGPS, and after multiple attempts, each attempt would advise "Connection failed try again later"
the next thing i have noticed is that all my GPS apps cannot connect to satellites any more. i tried by leaving my p3700 connected in my car with a clear view of the sky, and even after an hour or more, none of the GPS apps successfully ocked onto any satellites.
in comparison, my other HTC (artemis) p3300 was able to lock onto satellites within a few minutes or less with any of the same GPS apps, also i downloaded the latest packedEphemeris data via quickGPS successfully while i attempted to do so with p3700 yesterday and today. so i know its not anything to do with wifi et al. connections etc.
nothing new has been installed, nor uninstalled on the touch diamond...
so whats up with that???
i have sent an email to HTC support and am awaiting their advice.
i really don't want to have to resort to a hard reset, as installing all those apps will take me a day.
anyone can post their quickGPS reg folder please... from their TOUCH DIAMOND
thanX
I have had this problem where Quick GPS will not update, either from ActiveSync (as it did automatically before), via WIFI or 3G/HSPDA. Whilst at the same I found that You Tube will no longer work so there is definitely some issue with it. By doing a hard reset got it to work again but I think at some point it will stop, so any answers will be most useful (for us all!).
GPS and Internet calling
Everything was working fine unless I installed WM6 Voip application to use my Diamond to make internet calling, thereafter no GPS recognition by tom tom and no luck with Quick GPS as well. Hard resetting the device solved the problem and again I installed the WM 6 Voip application and again no luck with GPS. I did that three times and concluded that unlocking WM 6 Voip feature blocks GPS ports. If you are using WM 6 Voip then you might not be able to use GPS as I experienced.
I have the same problem:the quick gps won't update.If you find anything as a solution please inform!
Solution with Quick GPS update.WORKS!
This solution works and has nothing to do with registry hacks,installing cabs etc..Well lets start:
1)Open Internet Explorer from your Diamond(Start-->Internet Explorer)
2)From the Favourites menu go to the HTC web page(should load,normaly)
You are done!Go to the quick gps and now you can update as before!(It seems that the Diamond losts his way to the internet but as soon as you go to the HTC page,the way described here,the problem is solved!)
thanks for that, just tried it and it worked perfectly!!
Very weird, I had the same problem and the IE trick worked.
Thank you, elflost
I'm having the same issue with quickgps not updating and getting a a connection error. I tried the IE trick but it still didn't work. Any other ideas?
OMG that's crazy!
I was trying all sorts of things and I just opened IE (first time I ever have as I've been using Opera instead) and now both QuickGPS and the YouTube are working again.
Thanks very much for posting, now I don't have to waste anymore of my evening looking for solutions.
Cheers.
The trick with IE solved the issue with me too. That's a bit weird, every other programs are able to find the internet connection through wifi..

Fantastic post - worked perfectly on my Diamond running Google Maps. Thank you!
Hi,
I try to use skype under WIFI/UMTS/HSDPA, but I hear one word on three/four...I thought it was a Windows Mobile Software block but it is not (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474370), I thought it was a carrier lock, but it is not. I tried a Toshiba g900 (wich is slower than Kaiser) with the same carrier and Skype works very very well, have you ever tried Skype with the Kaiser? I have the lastest Hyper Dragon ROM but it is not a ROM issue because it did not work even with its original rom and radio rom, this thing is driving me crazy! I made tests just after an hard reset and with wifi, so it is not a network issue but a device problem, how can I check if everything is ok? Maybe a benchmark to test CPU? Or what else?
I've never been able to run Skype smoothly on the Kaiser regardless of ROM. It's just too slow.
Not happening here. Running Skype 2.5 on WM 6.0 original ROM or WM 6.1 3.02 and it works fine. Just did a test call while connected to WiFi and the voice quality is great.
What's the difference between us? Different Kaiser Model? Wrong radio version? Wrong what? Why me and kilrah cannot use skype smoothly and vcespon can? Someone tells that his KAiser is fast in opening apps etc. but mine it is not fast even to open the start menu...I want to go deeper in this, what can I do to know if our Kaiser has some problems?
Mine is pretty fast doing everything, just skype will always skip very badly, regardless of version. It'll miss sound bits here and there, sometimes even blank completely for several seconds. That is, totally unusable except just for text chat.

Could you say more? We must solve it
ROM and radio firmware version can make a lot of difference. WiFi performance / RAM available. After trying dozens of ROMs for months, I only use the original WM 6.0 with 1.27.15.32 radio, or the official 3.02 with 1.58.26.20.
WiFi connection works OK for me even in "best battery" setting. I've been streaming music from shoutcast.com for half an hour without problems.
Skype 2.5 does not seem to have any problem with a test call, I have not tested it on long conversations, thoug.
Hmm actually I forgot about that setting, with WiFi on "Best Performance" a test call works fine. I was usually on "Best Battery".
Just need not to be doing other things on the phone at the same time. Can forget about using BT headset as well.
Hay guys
I recently bought a Garmin Asus M10
very nice, but ....
I like the interface from HTC hd2, sense 2.5 and I want to install it on my phone.
problems now appear in many. cabs installed to found only 2 that are functional,
1. is bigboss_Manila_2.5_2015_full - is in full screen, but locked wifi and warms your hard freezes and does not start only with restart.
2. Sense HTC WM6.5 2.1 Support - which moves well without wifi, of course, but it is not good rezoltia has an empty portion
Now comes the question .....?? someone help me and me to solve these problems.
attach a picture of HTC WM6.5 Sense 2.1 Support
So, I managed to install the phone in 2016 manila 2.5, no more heat, moving well, but returned to the wifi problem, went after installation, but the first stop of the phone, I changed the SIM card and no longer works, Why? I walked and the registry but still no effect,
Instead you have to go?
sorry for my English but I do not pre workout.
I need help, please ....
So, I resolved, go WiFi, after I changed the rom, and let go and Bluetooth
I have a working phone.
a good day for everyone ....

Hey Dasim i also own a Garmin Asus M10 and just like you have tried the manila cabs on it but the phone freezes. Can you please tell me where you got your sense cab, which version and how did you fix the wifi, heating etc problems... Please?
good to start at the beginning, what version of rum?
I put the official version on the official site M10_V6260_WWE_app_IND00,
the latest version or M10_V6220_WWE_app_SGP01
all good
If you fail to change the rom, say, and you send a mail pack that lets you install the ROM or some kind of rewards.
sense I used manila cab 2016 2.5
http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000...-modaco-com/311622/cab-manila-sense-2-5-2016/
here's cab that I use, instructions, and all you need
you need a cab file which made me change the registry for wifi, send mail to [email protected] for wifi cab
1. rom change - restart
2. cab installation - all programs that you have extra-restart
3. 2.5 Installation sense, - restart
4. Monster wifi and wifi installation cab - restart
and theoretically it should work now.
I tried both versions of rum, I think the best is from StarHub - M10_V6220_WWE_app_SGP01
I have attached the files you need
manila modaco takes off there and instruction .
a good day
As for the phone warming, it's normal.
uses more energy because the screen is big
- GPS stays open, must be closed manually
to me to use intense:
- 1 hour talk,
- 45-50 minutes wifi
- 2 hour music on the radio in the car coupled
battery reaches 35-37%
I believe a decent range for this phone.
cant make wifi work =(
hi dasim! i think i missed something because i cant make my wifi work. i did install the patch and wifi monster. any help is appreciated. im having fun with sense except for the wifi part, and yes things are a bit slow, but worth the try. thanks in advance! im happy it worked on your phone! any other problems with it?
I have stated above the rom used is important because it is the only solution one attempt I made, and for 3 weeks and I kept changing rom manila sense, in different combinations.
We've not stopped the phone for 5 days if you stop or finish the battery, no wifi goes, I do not know why. The installation process should be resumed manila sense to go wifi.
I say install M10_V6260_WWE_app_IND00 rum, the other programs,
manila sense in 2016 as the instructions in modaco,
Monster install WiFi, Packet with asus wifi, restart and it should work.
[email protected] send mail and you have steps that follow and see where it is not good, it's easier for me because I use the XDA phone and can not really write well strengths.
good day
dasim...
mind you tell me where you got others version
of rom you've tried?
I'm M10 owner as well....
not enough guts to try other roms before..
but lately my phone act weird...
so maybe you can help me...
TQ
