Hi guys!
I own an Xda II and I'm thinking of upgrading it to WM 2005.
After having a look around I'm a bit confused as I'm sure are a lot of other people because there's so many different versions of WM5 to choose from on this forum that I don't know which one to go for.
Could someone please recommend the best and most stable version of WM5?
Thanks a million.
Hi Rizwan
Could not agree more, I'm also confused as to what ROM is the best....
Eg, whats the fastest and most stable ROM out of the bunch?
Cheers
Fudge
well, its same with me a long time ago..
don't worry guys.. after several looking in this page, there's a several rom for WM2005 which is :
1. Helmi AKU3.5
2. C_Shekhar Rom AKU 3.50C (the newest rom)
3. other (like virgy, etc)
In my Opinion, you should try c_shekhar rom. its very nice looking (crossbow theme), more stable, quite fast..
hope you find the suitable rom.

I agree. It is time to upgrade my friend... There are so many roms out there that are almost 100% stable with everything working and not all of them include all of the extra crap either... If you wanted to keep the same general look going on and not the touchflo if thats what you're trying to avoid, then look into some of the professional roms instead of the touch roms.
A good example is TNT5.0 Professional. It has all the amendaties of WM5 but also supports all of the WM6 software.
...Thats my opinion anyway
I have
I've updated to WM6 many times with multiple roms, but they tend to lag in performance. Though one rom looks promicing is this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331812
BUT! It's a Hermes rom and I have no Idea how to flash that onto a wizard. So instead of risking my Wizard to brick, I was hoping someone could possibly patch those cabs for WM5.
If anyone is looking for a little project, please patch those cabs on the first post.
Thank you
i use TNE with over clocking, with no problems. just as fast as wm5 if not faster.
touch no evil.
and dont flash a wm6 rom that wasnt built for the wizard.

give this rom a try. It was originally made by its right but I personally modified it to have a larger page pool and is quite fast.
It is a touchflo rom though... Not sure how fond you are of those style roms...

???????????
Well does anyone just have the base WM6 rom that I can flash? Nothing custom, just the standard, factory WM6 rom? Cuz that would be the only way I would be willing to upgrade. If not then I just want the cabs to work on WM5.

Well there is TNT Official... It's the closest to an actual OFFICIAL Wizard WM6 rom as you are going to get...
Install that(it is CLEAN, nothing on it really) and you can install anything you want if you're not interested in a custom rom.
You could also give this a once over...

This is not an amibtious rom but its my first release.
The Rogers Rom seems to be newest of the wm 6.0 series and has some interesting changes, Call Display being one of them. Being on Rogers in Canada I decided to release a cooked rom based on it. I left alot of it original but upgraded a couple of things and added a bit.
I noticed that some of the software rogers released is different than the ones in Alex's kitchen kit.
For example the 4.08 camera in rogers is 4_08_28875_00 Alex's kit has 4_08_28288_00. This may indicate that some bug fixes were made but I am not sure.
Its just another ROM to try.
Removed:
Windows Live,
Cyberon Voice Speeddial 1.2
HTC Home
Bubblebreaker
Solitaire
Rogers bmp, wallpapers, some of the awful ring tones
Windows Update
Upgraded:
.net 2.0 to .net 3.5
SqlCeMobile 3.0 to 3.5
Added:
Quickmenu
GlossyBlackbars
Some themes I made
A few extra ring tones
Pocket Sudoku V.9
Synchrotime V0.95
Sleuth's UC Compliancy
I did a small trick where I took my animated.gif and called it startup.gif then simply copied it during the cold boot. End result, if you want to replace it with your own animate.gif just copy over top of the file with your own as it is not part of the ROM.
Also uploaded seperately a nice Symian Splash Screen and the original Rogers radio extracted from the Rom.

Cool bro, I've been waiting for someone to use the Rogers rom as base since we got a hold of it. Thanks, and I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and post some feedback as soon as I can.
So far the ROM seems pretty quick & clean. I have not installed any apps yet so I will report back again.
But, the radio seems to be ROM dependant. I have tried it with a few other WM6 Roms with no luck.

is the ROM dependant on this radio?
Rom dependant on the Rogers Radio?
I cannot say, I used the radio released with the rom. I have not tried other wm6.0 radios on it yet.
I wouldnt suggest using the radios for the wm6.1 roms such as the 1.64.xx or the 1.58.xx I would doubt they would work.
When I installed this custom ROM, it gets stuck at the end of the customization "Running SDAutoRun.exe".
I do have a SDConfig file in the root of my memory card.
Any help would be appreciated.

The New Guava ROM by Dr.Gonzo. (WM6.0)
Best bet.
I doube it... In my vox and guava 6.0 gadu-gadu didn't want to "show" contact status when I was conected and it was blank white screen when I wanted to unlock keyboard I have now 6.1 96dpi and no problems:] And it looks nice too
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.

i need ROM WM 6.1 SGH-i607 Black jack but link download is DIED
Thanks!
I use TxCaesar's wm6.1 Beta 2 and it's very stable, the are a few minor bugs so read up on those first, but not one bug has effected my usage.
I think you need to register to download, but it's worth it...
http://mobile.txcaesar.net/modules....wdownload&cid=2&min=10&orderby=titleA&show=10
go to the above link then look for "i607 WM6.1 Da_G Beta 2.rar", then follow instructions for upgrading your ROM, which can be found in the fourms on the same site.
Here's another wm6.1 rom.... I haven't tried this one yet...
http://mobile.txcaesar.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=359
Use the new Bogart roms by ejoya, also on the txcaesar site listed above. They are based off of the htc s740 rom, and run much faster.
showaco does the bogart rom work well?, does the video camera function work? any other major bugs? have you loaded caeser's before?

I'm happier with the bogart roms than with Da_G's roms. I ran Da_G 6.1beta2 for a long time, and just recently switched to ejoya's bogart roms. He has 4 different available and so far rev2 is the one I like. Video does work but you can check at txcaesar's for the lowdown on all the bugs(very few in my opinion). There's a couple of threads dealing with them.

not for i600...i607 only. it will brick your i600.
Starca has a few roms out that are newer, the latest one is BJC ROM 4.3mr1 i think there faster than ejoya's. and if you combine it with Showaco's app's they get better. such as the WPC, feather weather, file changer, just to name a few.
let me clear this up, Starca has a few rom's for the I607... Nokser is working on a wm6.1 for the I600, as i'm sure you already know this by now.

Hello, I bought this phone (Samsung i607) for my wife and it has WM 5.
Is this 6.1 rom a simple update? is it a light version?
She needs the most basic usage of the phone but I thought some benefits of 6.1 could be helpfull... is it ok for this phone or is it too much and better to leave 5?
Thanks!
EDIT: if 6.5 is lighter/more stable it would work also.... which one is better for this phones small screen?

py8's 6.5 rom is more of less bare bones. but being that it's 6.5, it will need to use more ram than 6.1. but the 6.1 i'm hosting isn't a light version it does have some 3rd party apps on it. but both do not have the att blot, the cookers took all that out. both starca's and py8's roms have around 25M free.
thanks
great thanks!
is 6.5 a "nice expierence" for that size of screen?

I have been using the Bogart edition (WM6.1_BE rev4 final.nb0.bin). How does starca's rom compare to the Bogart edition? I haven't had any problems with the Bogart rom and it has nice extras. I was expecting it to be buggy because of it's unofficial status but that hasn't been the case.
