O2 Stellar Update

I emailed O2 about a ROM update for the stellar, as my Device Information currently states:
ROM version: 1.82.206.1 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/07
Radio Version 1.27.12.32
They replied with:
Good Morning Dave,
Thank you for your email
O2 are currently in test with the new ROM for the Stellar which will be WM 6.1. This should be released in the next month or so. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with a specific date for when it will be placed on your website for download due to confidentiality.
Kind Regards

Is it worth upgrading for WM6.1? There seem to be differing opinions on the HTC ROM upgrade.

The O2 ROMs seem to be quite good and most complaints are due to the disappointment of the updates not including decent graphics drivers.
I will most likely upgrade mine.

oh! next month or so..this is great news! finally 6.1 for my bottle of ...ehem, for my o2 stella.

This is great, I've been on their site at least 2 times a week for the past month searching to see if they have brought out an update.

Well it's now July...anyone got any more news on this? I too keep checking the O2 software updates website. I have also tried emailing them but they didn't respond to me.

Just last week there was a flurry of Vodafone and T-Mobile updates for their branded kaisers, so I'd expect something v. soon.
As far as 6.1 goes, it's very good IMO, although some of us have experienced poor GPS performance on first fix.

Just had a look on their site and it's available to download.
Downloading now and will update later. Hopefully it'll work ok.

great stuff

Alas, it doesn't make the camera any better..
Everything else seems fine so far.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the O2 site for the upgrade?

I am downloading now.
But I thought I would point out that I have improved the performance of my camera using KaiserTweak which has a setting regarding the camera that can change to make the camera respond in a quicker time (assuming that is your complaint!)

hi Guys
any chance to upload this rom somewhere like rapidshare.com as I am a Vario III user on o2 and I think my imei won't pass the check.

sure thing pal, although I hope for someone to show me mercy on that bit quicker...
thanks for quick reply and see You in this thread.

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.
I have a question though...next to the O2 task manager bubble at the bottom of the today screen is a new flashing icon that looks a bit like a Bluetooth symbol...anyone have any ideas what this is? I have tried clicking on it but nothing happens.
Also, apart from the threaded SMS (which I am excited about having gone from a Treo 650 to the Stellar), what other delights does WM 6.1 provide?!

I like the zooming in Internet Explorer but have you tried the GPS since 'upgrading'. What radio code does O2 offer with the update - is it the same radio as mine (in my sig)?

Best cooked rom in your opinion?

I have a sprint cdma touch diamond, and i got really tired of the stock so i decided to start played around with it. What is the best rom in your opinion available now? Right now I have the latest 7 version of Juicy which is pretty cool, but the keyboard is really laggy and it doesnt have sprint picture mail.

Take a look here.
http://sites.google.com/site/window...om-s/htc-touch-diamond/HTC-Touch-Diamond-CDMA
I like the Energy ROM, Or Culkulins
There is just a few ROM's listed there at the moment.
P.S. Don't frown on me sending bavman to my own web site, I think it will help.

I still like Mighty ROM 4 (final)... its WM6.1 and solid...

Just an FYI. OMJ's latest does have a Sense 2.1. He puts out excellent roms, and maybe more importantly is very responsive to questions and problems. Finally, he has made his kitchen available and several templates for those wanting to further customize.

The Best WM6.1 and 6.5 Rom for T-Mobile TP2

Hi I'm looking for the best WM6.1 and WM6.5 Rom. For T-Mobile
and plz put your roms on 4shared, 2shared or uploading, cuz rapidshare and hotfile doesn't work neither in the internet cafe nor using my 3G internet.
And I'm looking for a way to switch the ALT and CTRL buttons, cuz they are swapped.
Thx

Go to search and find the t-mo or t-mobile keyboard fix... they are all over! And some are on the Roms first couple of pages like deepshining pretty sure his rom has a link... The Best Roms are very dependent on user taste... do you want something fast then look for clean, but make sure you read if it is for your phone, not a tilt2 while some roms work on both networks some do not! But read and look at the pictures, I just flashed back to stock t-mo today, my favorite was the Eu 2.08 or the European upgrade... Looks like ATT just got an upgrade (they had no weather on the home screen) hope t-mo gets one too.

There is no best ROM it's all down to personal preference, read threads look @ pictures Flash and find what suits you best?
As all best ROM threads, thread closed.

HTC Official ROM - question.

Hi there
I posted this in another thread, but got no reply? So I have started another thread hoping for better response.
I do not normally get any answers or replies on this forum for some reason, hopefully i will be more lucky with this post.
I have just bought a used Touch Diamond, and was looking at downloading and upgrading the system with the official ROM upgrade from HTC, (Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1)
It doesn't give you that much info on the HTC site, and I was wondering if
1 - it will be WM 6.5?
2 - It say 'Orange' ROM, would this revert the phone back to Orange only sim settings, or would I still be able to use my O2 sim card? The phone is 'Orange' branded but unlocked.
Thank you and here's hoping for help.
Steve

I don't think 1.93.405.1 is the current official ROM from HTC. There has to be a newer one like 2.03. xxxxxxxx
Anyway the newest ROM for Diamond is still WM6.1. There is no official WM6.5 ROM.
If your diamond is simlock-free then you can use the orange-ROM with other providers. I had the official ROM from O2 and used it with a T-Mobile-SIM-card without problems.
The only thing is that the provider-settings are false. But there are tools to configure this.
Or you use the official HTC-ROM without branding:
www.htc.com => support
There are also good custom-made ROMs.
Good luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried a couple of ROMs since I got the phone, but there always little niggles with many of them. At the moment I am using a 'BsB Ultimate 6.6' ROM which is quite good, but I would like one with the animated weather reports (the windscreen wiper) and the book like image viewer that you can flick through.
Any idea which I am looking for by that description please?
Thank you
Steve
P.S. Oh and maybe I should mention that i am the O2 network so if there is an O2 ROM available, that would be a bonus.

I had this ROM on my diamond and I was pretty happy with it. I don't know wich language you prefer.

It's with Sense 2.1 wich runs really good. A network-wizard to setup your provider settings is integrated.

yes, you can flash any of those Radios, as long as you have R/HSPL on your HD7.
remember to only install RUU_Unsigned.nbh not SPL_Signed.nbh.

come to find out i have the latest rom and tmobile has not as many towers as verizon...other than the reception the phone is perfect
