About WM6 - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading

Hi all,
First of all i'd like to thank all the guy around here that deliver new roms and keep our prophet alive and evolving.
My question is simple. I'm using Aserg 3.13 rom which is great. I've been reading every post on this forum and i have to admit that i'm now a bit lost.
Can somebody who's tested all the roms quickly tell me what the advantages of upgrading to WM6 are, if any, and which rom is the best. Also maybe it would be good for everyone to have a comparison table between the several wm6 roms available.
Thanks for your help and keep on the good work

the best WM6 Rom?

so guys...
I have readed all post about WM6 and i dont understand so please help...

THX for everything
mike
you are really funny!
Mr John-wu, i think your are the funny person here to post useless comments, forgive me if i had to read some of your posts.
Please respect the opinion of others.
I've been reading this forum over and over for quite a long time, everything on how to upgrade to WM6 is here but the steps on how to do it are not ordered. I still think that a more ordered topic on how to upgrade to WM6 must be made.
And please leave those kinds of comments fir some other forum.
Best regards.
Mr elFahd
I think:
Install this and then install this is pretty straight forward.
I am sorry, but if the instructions that are included with EVERY single rom release regarding what to do to install it are not clear enough (despite many other threads detailing the process) then you simply should not be undertaking the process!!!!!!!!!!!!

so you think so? let me explain you what i mean:
if mr. mladi really read many thread, then he surely knows that there are several types of wm6 rom and which is the latest. And if he already finds out that the roms still have some bugs, then he surely knows about all available rom! So why he asks for new rom??
And what about the subject of his thread "New WM6 Rom!" ? when i read such subject i expect another content in the thread, and not such useless questions.
i hope you understand and know why i find that he is really funny.
so just my 2 cents
John
i was thinking it was released a new wm6 rom.... but not... i full disagree with this new topic :s
Well that's the point John, there are so many roms to choose from and each has its fixes on a different thread,
which one *in your opinion* suits WM6 best? (that has minimal bugs)
can you please post the link.
and no i dont find difficulties understanding or flashing Roms.
Sad to observe that the Prophet forum lately became a bit let's say "chaotic". Used to be such a nice place where people enjoyed sharing there ideas and were simply happy to be among others with the same interest. But now with all the phone providers throwing out their xdas, mdas, pdas or whatsoever for free on the market everybody who finally lands here forgot that they are part of a contributing community. The hostility in the Prophet forum actually started with the appearance of the WM6 ROMs.
This forum is definitly lacking of moderators who once in a while restores the order

For now I would recommend to try out the PDAMobiz ROM 1.00. But always keep in mind that you lose your warranty and might risk destroying your pda for good
Poor choice for thread title..
And Maybe if he read the thread about John Wu's Rom and the pdamobwiz thread he would have answered his own question.
WTF...posting useless thread...wanna be 'KILLED'?
Why don't you modify the topic title?
When you are looking for a complete bug free ROM I think you will never be satisfied. There simply isn't one that is free of bugs. Some people get the idea that the ROM is free of bugs, but I guess that it depends on what features you use!
And now we are waiting for Smart1's two ROM's that are going to be released very soon. To bad I didn't find it in this thread, so please change the title for all XDA forum readers sake
lots of fire
Hey, hey guys!!!!!
Sorry for disturbing! I didnt mean to hurt yours filings, sorry about everything,yesterday i wont to upgrade my g4 to WM6 and i read everything about WM6 roms. But two hours i was reading posts and lots of people have problems with sound,mms,camera,bloototh, after they upgrade their prophet!
So, i realy wont to know, wich rom is the best? So if you can be so kind and tell me yours opinion? If somebody ask you, hey please tell me wich rom ''for you is the best''? and where I can download that rom, can you please give me the link?What are you gonna to say?
I am not so stupid that I cant see its copule of difrent roms here on portal...
Sorry ones again if somebody is disturbed with my Thread and question, it will never hapaned again...
mike
It's really personal what ROM to use. I would say Aserg's ROM is the best at the moment. But someone else would probably say that Smart1's WM6 ROM is the best.
So you really have to test the ROM's yourself and see wich bugs you can live with on your device, since not all bugs are the same
When you think you're not having any bugs at all you will be a happy person for sure
That's just because some people don't use everything on their device, and might find that they don't have any bugs on their ROM!

Best Rom so far

wow a little harsh huh? why the sour response?
Well, Doug is probably coming from some other forum where a new "Which is the best ROM?" kind of post is started each week. It is a natural question, but it gets old after a while.
In the Hermes thread for example, there are multiple kitchens for making ROMs, so everyone and his brother are putting out new ROMs constantly that suit their needs. Asking which is the best is kind of like asking which restaurant is best in San Francisco. There are good ones and bad ones, cheap ones and expensive ones, it is all a matter of taste.
At this point though, with three or so cooked ROMs out for the Kaiser, I think it might be a valid question. Most knowledgable people will have tried all three and come to some sort of conclusion.
Yeah really ! why would this piss anybody off ?

Really, a good way to find out what's best (for you) is to try them out. I know, everyone says that. But they say it for a reason.
A great place to find out before flashing is to hop into the individual threads for the specific ROMS and read what's included in each and what comments (good and bad) have been posted. There's only a few ROMs out at the moment, so that won't be hard at all.
Usually when anyone starts a thread like this they just want someone to throw out an easy "The best ROM is...". I am personally using the HTC stock at the moment. I like it for now, others don't. So, you'll have to decide for yourself.
Have fun finding out!

My issue with the question is that if there truly was a "best ROM so far" available, it would be posted as such and probably stickied. The point is that there is no BEST, even with only 3 of them out there. Each is different.
I've tried all three ROMs and seem to be about the same. Only differences are the apps included, and storage space. Check them out and see for yourself.
Kaiser Roms, which is best?
I spent the last two days testing out all the variants of the ROMS out there, and there are pretty much only 4 English versions available.
Here you go, a nice summary of the results in one quick read, but i've not included the links to the files, some work for you
1. the stock HTC one - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe (uses WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620)
and then 3 or so (because he has sub versions to remove unnecessary programs) variants of the same ROM by Helmi:
2. helmi_Kaiser_1.57.000.1_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - a cooked version based on HTC WWE version but has newer WM6 CE base code (WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908)
3. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - another cooked version of HTC_WWE version but has selectable "activator" directory of cabs that the user can install as desired. Also uses same WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908 as above.
4. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.03_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - yet another flavour, but this one has virtually all extra programs removed in a good attempt at freeing up as much memory as possible, it also uses a newer version of WM6 CE OS 5.2.1921.
see Helmi's link for all the info. My hats off to you Helmi.
In the end, I decided to go with the standard version as released by HTC, as I didn't notice much of a difference myself. I have naturally upgraded various cabs and installed my ideal base set of apps to get the machine setup as I prefer. My decision to go this way was based on what I prefer and you should really try the ROMS yourself to make the correct decision, I didn't try every program with each version so perhaps i missed things.
I upgraded the Radio to version 1.27.12.17. -(this doesn't appear to make any difference to my terrible radio reception or the random dropping off of the radio link to GSM, neither does selecting the gsm option under band instead of auto). Thank god that I don't use 3G as there seems to be a real problem with the UMTS radio code. I just hope that I don't have a hardware fault, but I doubt it as numerous other people and links reflect similar issues to mine. We can only hope that HTC will release new RADIO code soon.
So, I wish you well in your endeavor to find "the perfect ROM".....
While I wouldn't have posted "best rom" question (as I agree, that is so subjective), that is a great help SAppie! Thanks!
Agree and Disagree
Not wanting to piss everyone off
I think the OP was requesting ROM test result and comparison, like SAppie comment, as I also agree there's no such thing as 'best ROM'.
Now, there're release with WM6.5 and others. Anyone can update this with newer ROM's comparison?
As a newbie in WM myself, some of the thread has 1000 pages .. to read all will be tough, but sometimes that's the only way. The FAQ and sticky is helpful as starting point for me ..
well i tried athineos os, hyperdragon III, life in 3d and now i will try 6.5 beta but so far the fastest is the athineos and it greaat
This is an old topic with no real constructive merit, so I'm closing it.
Perhaps this thread is what you're after: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399510

Please have the courtesy to read through the Wiki, and the Rom threads yourself.
Then make your own decision on what to do and how to do it.
At least then you will have a good understanding of what to do when things go wrong.
Beasty
Yep, Beasty is right. Before you even begin to think about flashing your Uni, spend some time reading the Xda Wiki on Universal. It's a very-very good guide for everyone.
But as a rule of thumb, you have the choice of either a Plain Vanilla (WM6.X without extra apps) or Tweaked/Full-flavor roms. In this case I recommend to start with a Vanilla because it will give you the feel and feature of a stock WM. But some Vanillas are quite lightweight with some components removed. So you may have to spend quite of time flashing and reflashing to find the ones that suits you
decide carefully .......

Ya i agree with beasty and you should dicide yourself and the features you like may not be like by others and other thing is too much features can slow down your uni as well so you should decide that yourself and as i think you have 64 mb Ram as uni is sold with it ... so take it concederation before asking for too much features...
cheers

Dear Yawar,
All are saying well, you can learn from XDA Wiki.
But in my Opinion, ROMs from Tomal and Luca16thebest are really very nice.
I use most of these ROMs.
Regards,
Shakeel Ahmed
i i am using tomal's 8.5 ROM, best for me
tomal roms are great. the new 8.8 is very good. but you must try before you decide
Everything's in the sticked.

Recommend a rom for my kaiser

Hi all!
I'm new here. I bought a new (half year old) kaiser with a cooked rom. First I restored the original wm 6.1 rom. But this is very slow. I searched and found a lot of rom but I can't choice. I search a rom which is small and fast include java and live messenger and better camera driver (too noisy and after sunset it is taking a picture up to 10 seconds!). I found a new display driver under development, on this page. I would like to this driver be part of the cooked rom, if the driver is working property (i hope this is understandable ). So my phone is original non-SIM-locked and the bootloader has cracked. one thing: on the original rom the tcpmp don't start, but with the cooked rom it ran. I don't need wm 6.5 but if that is better no problem.
thanks for your help!
I hope my first thread is created at the good part of the forum
Firstly,
Welcome to the forum! This is the right part of the forum for Kaiser ROM, however ...
Secondly,
You'll need to do a lot of reading, and decide based on that. As a newbies, I did ask this question too, and the answer came back: no recommendation can be given, each must take each' journey.
You can make the decision by reading the thread of each ROM, read the responses, and clarification by other users.
It takes a lot of hardwork to read, and it takes more hardwork for the chef's to cook a ROM that works well! So, my suggestion is to read more and ask less.
Happy hunting
(and mod, please shut down the thread)
ROMs
I can't say one is better than the other. I've tried quite a few ROMs and have settled on TPC Elite, however that is what works best for my purposes. The previous answer to your post is correct, lots of reading and then make the decision on your own.
Once you have HardSPL installed (version depends on the ROM your flashing as I've read), you can flash a different ROM every day like you decide what shirt to wear each morning. It's quite awesome!
thx all!
im on it. i am reading the rom infos since i registered here. but i thinked i found somebody who is minimalist like me
Anryl ROM is great but now anryl stop making ROM for Kaiser
so now I'm stuck with TPC Elite ROM... great ROM. so I recommend this one... try V4.
better you read the tutorial first about upgrading ROM, radio, SPL etc..
if i seen good (direct from hungarian ) the TPCElite needs hardslp v3.56 and i have spl-3.56.Hard CPLD-8 so this is passed. total 100mb ram? its better than oem (85) i will try this
i confused the 3d graphic driver is included?
Try any of the latest ROM out there, then stick to the 1 without problem I almost bricked my kaiser last time flashing hardspl. so be careful.. Dun flash unneccesary to much

Leo's Manilla 3D Rom Revamaped?

Hello everyone,
I had a simple question for the community. A long time ago, Leo (Laurentis26) ((Sorry if I mispelled the name)) made the one of the first integrated roms with Manilla 3D for kaiser. I was wondering if anyone has thought about taking that rom and revamping it with the new windows build? I know there are a couple of other roms out there with M3D but that Rom by Leo worked fairly well even though you had to manually turn off the M3D in order for it to sleep. I know there are a lot of great chefs out there so i was just curious if anyone would be interested in tackling that specific rom... Just an idea. I hope to start cooking within the next couple of months and will attempt to tackle it then if no one else does. I personally had very little issues with that rom and it ran very smoothly on my phone. Thank you for your time and thanks to all of the hard working chefs and others who give support throughout the community. Take care.
Hyden
Emotions appreciated but I think if you are really going to take ROM development seriously then I suggest you to start with any of Josh/TPC kitchen, thats the best base one can have in Kaiser community. Cheers.
Thanks for the reply. I will check that out.
As corepda stated best bet is to cook your own ROM people have already expressed the wanting a TF3D ROM but for all the issue regarding TF3D the time taken by a chef to produce wouldn't be worth it well that was the general concencous over several other threads created.
