Best WM 2005 ROM - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading

Dear All,
I would like to ask what is the latest WM2005 ROM version? and is it the best ROM? if not then what is the best version? I have found some on buzzdev.net but I don't know because this my first unofficial upgrade.
I have XDA II with loader 1.01.
Thanks a Lot,

they are all based on the same core rom with improvements
newer versions == more improvements
other then that it's all about how big a ramdisk they are installed

hi rudegar,
sorry, but I must disagree.
they are not based on the same core...
and there's much more differencies, than just size of RAMdisk.
take care
buzz

and what the difference between rom kitchen n rom?? i've read the post by buzz in buzzdev.net, there is 40mb in rom kitchen n 20mb in rom.. what type should i use??
thanx

Updates are good

I agree with Buzz.
I think that windows mobile 5.0 is based on windows CE 5.0 architecture and there can be updates to both and the size of a ram disk is not that important as long as a device is capable of running your desired apps without running out of program memory. A newer roms is likely to run better and be more compatible with apps but can still contain bugs. I think that I got more performance from reg editing and ocing that upgrading from 2003se to 5.0 but i always try a new rom.
Buzz do you use ms voice command and any idea on the problem it has with AKU 3.2?
p.s. a rom kitchen is where roms are cooked!

"I think that windows mobile 5.0 is based on windows CE 5.0 architecture"
well we all agree on that one
the place that buzz set to streigth was when i said that
all windows mobiles were based on the same leaked 2005 rom

What I have seen is ROMs based on AKU 2, AKU 2.3, and AKU 3.2. of course each with it's own personal customization and may be some tweaks for performace. From the experiance what is the main differances between AKU versions and what is the best customization from the features and the performace point of view?

I have tried all the wm05 roms here but i got nothing but the sad thought that i don't have a compatible wm5 device. All of them have many flaws and none of them work correctly or as fast as they should be.. not even 03se. After many upgrades and downgrades i found out that the best one is the qtek rom and nothing else. It wasn't suposed to work on wm5 so don't upload versions with bugs and so... try to get a version that will not move slow, will have all the original programs, all the original programs will work and let the user install whatever he wants, don't make roms with preinstalled programes because that only makes them work slow .

Try AKU 3.2 ROM as they r latest and the stable one .

agree with you. stable and fast.

!!! THE CLEANEST ROM with latest updates !!!

Hi there,
Anyone knows about any cleanest ROM with latest updates (OS patches, HTC patches) and no other stuff in it?
I would go for Alex's UltraCLEAN ROM but it looks like the OS is too old comparing to Helmi's/Dutty's/Schap's ones.
So far the best I ever used is Helmi's Clean ROM, no custom splashscreens, no custom graphics, just completely clean ROM (I appreciate any performance tweak, not bloody graphics )
But it looks like it's out of date these days...
Any hints?
Thanks,
Gabriel
ROM OS versions
To be clear:
Duttys New years Rom 2k8 Fixed [DualTouch v2] TouchFLO: v5.2.1933 build 18533.dutty
Dutty's SupaLite Rom v5.2.1948 build 20000.dutty
Alex.HTC.156.UC4.ROM v5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2
Schap's WM6 Pro 4.30 ROM v5.2.1948 build 18548.0.7.0
Helmi kaiser aku.0.7.0_04_clean v5.2.1978 build 18578.0.7.0
See the difference?
Hmm isn't Helmis the latest OS version rather than the most outdated?!?!

Ha! You see? you got the point
How can he have such build (acting as a newest one) and be almost 3 months out of date?
Any fake going around?
FWIW, I stripped and released the Folders & OEM packages from the HTC ROM found in this thread.
thats not exactly how is works
Its not always the newest builds that are the best
But the builds usually is ported from other devices, like polaris, touch dual or w/e.
I have portet the build in my kaiser to herald, (norwegian) and I portet polaris os to herald (wwe) its the same build, I duplicated excatly same edits, removals of files...did exactly the same setup. But there is a very noticeable diffrence in speed and stability on the two ports, even though it has same apps, same setup, same os build.
I dunno if this explain anything to anyone
But do not make the mistake beliving newer os version is better.
cheers
IIRC (and I could be completely wrong here) the 5.2.1978 build was a fake.
Something to consider with these build versions is that not all of them are built for the Kaiser - some of them have been ported from other releases for other models of device.
Some people only believe in using builds that were intended for the Kaiser, others think that there are benefits from using new versions.
As with all things in software, with fixes come more bugs - newer revisions might have one thing fixed, but another three broken. You never can tell.
Beyond ROM versions, there's also software versions which can be even more significant. For example, we're seeing roms with a much newer version of the camera software now.
So there's an awful lot to consider really.
Alex 1.6 rom is using the most updated at&t rom which should include all the basic patches from bluetooth hot fix to the other stuff. If you want newest NetCF on there, you can cook that in. Many of those roms have been tweaked out, so using Alex's rom, I think is the cleanest. A little bit more understanding of these version numbers would help you understand more about these roms.

Absolutely agree with you itje. The latest HTC OEM apps also go a long way in helping you determine how "latest" a ROM is. CE OS Build alone shows only part of the picture...

It depends on your needs...
Try to flash your device with several roms instead of asking to other people.....

Well I would say that there isnt anything to disagree with when it comes to the fastest and most stabile rom but ok ill waste some time reflashing a few roms ^^
//M
The ROMs currently used by everyone haunting this forum are based on Dr. Gonzo's roms. Either the latest WM 6.0 New Guava rom or the WM 6.1 v 1.1 rom. And they are both stable (which is something no other cook can ruin, unless they are completely out of it and then nobody will use their rom) and contain everything you need to have a functional phone. The most used ones are ZEshee's 96 dpi ROM (based on gonzo's 6.1 rom) and gonzo's 6.1 rom.
I say flash both of these and see if you like the smaller characters of the 96 dpi one more. I f you don't, Gonzo's rom is best.
And this is not about personal preference. Gonzo was the best cook that ever came to this forum. And we all thank him a lot.

It's not a waste of time, a rom which probably would fit perfectly for your needs, probably doesn't fit for an other person....

Help Required

I am noob in windows mobile I have just switched from nokia n73 to HTC S710. Some people think it was not a good idea but anyhow. 4 days back I tried to upgrade my cousins gene but after applying HSPL it was dead. I asked a lot of people in gene subform how recover, in the end a Rom chef told me if I had bought phone this year then there is no solution to it. So finally I had to take it to HTC service centre and they have asked me to check after 5 days.
Now I have bought Vox myself so learning from past experience I am asking you guys first. I have read wikki though.
1) Which is the fastest but most stable rom? (Which does not have bugs)
NEO ROM for Vox v0.9 [New XIP 20202]
Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1
Or Hikey's Rom tell me the version.
or someother.
2) From my information given Which USPL should I use 1.16 or 1.34 or 1.35 and also can I use them or will they brick my phone?
My Device Info
Boot Loader
Vox
ONBL 1.34.0000 wifi
LG
Vox
SPL 1.34.0000
Vox IU
CPLD - 04
OS From about
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Radio Version 4.1.13.54_03_.10.90
RIL Version 2.002
Any help will be appreciated.

Tipu
First you should decide whether you want WinMo 6.0 or 6.1. As far as I heard the ROMs with the new XIPs are faster. I would say the Neo ROMs are the fastest 6.0 ROMs. For 6.1 there isn't such a huge difference But my experience is that the 96 dpi ROMs are pretty fast, but they are by far not bug free. Otherwise you have to decide what software you need. Gonzo's ROM has everything in it, my Lite ROM is pretty much the same, just without some apps.
In the Wiki is a list of hopefully most ROMs.
For USPL the 1.16 is definately working, as it did for over a year now. I don't know if the newer ones have any advantages or not. If you go to the wiki and follow the guides carefully you should not brick your phone. Link is in my signature.
My SPL is 1.34.000 as I have seen from my bootloader information. So can I use 1.16.
Is Neo Rom .9 bug free, have you tried it also I have read few threads people saying Hikey's WM6.1 roms are stable but does not have his thread here. From my information given is stock rom for my current os available somewhere.
It is on the XDA-dev ftp. There are a couple of shipped ROMs.

I need a new Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for my Tornado device!!

I think I've downloaded and tried all of the ROMs here, but I think some of them just made it worst! I tried the new release of the ROM (forgot its name), such big fonts and errors, no threaded SMS, no splashscreens. Some ROMs just too slow, some are fast, some requires too many applications, some just take too much memory.
So, where can I download the original Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard? I really want a ROM that doesn't have any pre-installed programs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375670 thats your best shot for a clean OEM 6.1 rom enjoy
thanks..

There is no original WM6.x ROM for the Tornado. All WM6.x ROMs are custom made and they usually meet the needs of their cook.
If you need something original, install WM5 - if you need a clean WM6.1 ROM, install the one rafyvitto mentioned above. But you must know that a "clean" version does not nessessarily mean more free internal storage.

Windows Mobile Stock ROMs?

Hi Guys,
do any of you uni fans have stock roms of;
Windows Mobile 5
Windows Mobile 6
Windows Mobile 6.1
Windows Mobile 6.5.x
i would much appreciate these stock roms (you can find them/get them)
Have you checked here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
And
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades
well ive check the ftp.... but not the wiki
just checked the wiki, and the download link for WM5 form teh 02 website is broken (as its propably out dataed =])
Hi Simon
To be honest, the only real true Stock roms are WM5 roms. WM6.x never made it to the Universal officially.
Jay
True,
But could u try n find a nearish stock ROM.
i know the Artemis as a WM6 stock rom with a little RMA differnece.
but i like to uni to work... so i ant gonan try flashing it =]
Hi Simon
The closest thing to a stock rom on here now is thingonaspring's 1.2 rom on WM6.1. no video call of course but its very very good. Loads of ram left over. WM6.5 is a bit of a non starter for the 64mb machine as it eats to much ram.
Jay
true,
atm i'm running:
Tomal's V10 64bt.. and its ok.. but i have to install every program to the SD card to keep it running quick,
but my latest plan is it ge my HTC Alphine (XDA lli) to run WIndows Mobile 6.1
cottula is trying... and im waiting in hope =]
