can anyone make or give me a good Rom WM6 for a 8125 flashed over to t-mobile
I've tried a few roms. I went back to WM5 due to 3rd party issues on WM6, however, barring those issues...had I stayed with WM6...I liked Faria's for the total stability, and X-plore for the speed and usability. I gues it is based on what your needs are. I am on TMo, and the roms worked fine...however I did add a few TMo cabs to either/both roms. If you want a solid rom, go with Faria. If you want a zippy rom with plenty of room to add on, go with X-plore.
Hope this helps.
Oh, and I haven't tried any of the most recent roms (released in May) as I went back to WM5 and using the Superrom.
I'm running the Stable Ground WM6 build on my MDA with T-Mobile and it's fast and stable from my use on two phones. I highly recommend it. You'll need a couple of cabs for the tmobile gprs and mms settings though, but that's normal with all of them. Otherwise it's great.
thanks guys there can i get that stable ground WM6 BUild and the CABs thanks

Hi,
I have Qtek 9100, SPL/IPL 2.26, Radio 2.19. Since upgrade to WM6 (3 different editions) I had nothing but glitches and bugs. I miss calls, my alarm not working anymore, OS is slow to name a few. I'm not sure I used anything of what WM6 is supposed to give me since I don't use GPRS on my phone and not sure what else WM6 is supposed to give me.
So I'd rather have stable but outdated OS then cutting edge OS which works only 80% of the time.
What exactly I'll be missing if I go back to WM6? And secondly what is most stable version of WM5 out there and recommended? I used Cingular before but it's locked my phone last time I used it so I'd rather not to go with brand locked by Carrier.

If you aren't sure what you will miss, then you probably won't miss much . To be honest WM6 is really more like WM5 SP2 (its not a major rewrite or anything). Personally I find WM6 faster than the original Cingular ROM.
For WM5, go try Faria's AKU 3.3 or maybe Molski's Crossbow add on. Both are stable and very fast. There are others that people really like too.
I tested over 10 different WM6 roms over the last 6 weeks. All of them are crashing a couple of times a day. Getting tired of missing calls or hanging wizard I decided to start cooking my own roms.
First in the kitchen from Faria. DEV-Wizcrossbow Clean v2. But the roms that came out where also crashing. Then the InGeNeTiC Kitchen same. Then the dOUbleofour_Wiz_Kitchen.
I wanted a good WM6 rom because I just like all the new little changes.
Am I the only one having those crashes at least 5 times a day? Or am I using the phone to haevy? ---> 40 calls a day, 1000 contacts, 2000 items in the calendar. None other application loaded as the defaults except TomTom.
Yesterday I decided to go back to WM5. I installed the excellent rom from Molski.biz He has put the crossbow team in it. It looks like the new WM6 roms.
And today I didn't have any crash!!!
Please I would like to hear other comments about the daily use of WM6. In all the forums I only read about a working or not working single program.

I have a WIZA200 (Original from t-mobile Netherlands)

Is the radio version important for not crashing? Using this radio version in combination with molski.biz wm5 rom gives very good reception.
it should help stability and not missing calls.
Well I ran almost all WM6 romz and no matter what radio ver. I used I either got Missed calls, SMS, or could Not reconnect back the GPRS once I would reboot or had Lost signal
I tried RAdio ver.
2.47.11
2.19
2.69
They were all no good for me. I"m in the US and I"m in the NYC and NJ area
It was so bad I had to go back to WM5
I'm going back to Wm5 tonight when I get a chance, I'm not getting 90% of the SMS messages I'm told were sent or tested.. Used radio 2.61 and 2.19UK.
I get calls with 2.19, but no SMS.
I use Cingular/ATT and am in FL.
I am using 2.47 T-Mobile, Denver, CO.
Yeah 2.19UK didn't work for me either and I use Cingular in Atlanta. I switched to 2.47.11 and I am having better luck
Bahahah, I just bricked my G3 running a Wm5 update.
Hit 99% of the install and my computer BSOD'd with a USB error.
Now I can't install anything. Fantastic.
I installed the Crossbow Professional 1.7 based on Faria's ROM. At first I was pleasantly surprised and love the new features and look, but after about a week my directpush stopped working, I rebooted and now doing that caused me to lose registry settings and since then it has been crashing quite a bit, no calls, missed calls, no emails. For some reason my clock reset to 24 hr military style, my ring tone changed to something completely different...
What I don't understand is that MS demoed WM6 on the wizard and if you look at the new table interface MS demonstrated, they have an MDA there as well... why give up on this solid performed and not issue WM6 officially. It pisses me of that T-Mo US wants me to spend $300 to buy their Wing to get Mobile 6 when the MDA is completely sufficient. Especially since they don't even have the 3G network rolled out. I'd rather switch to AT&T and get the 8525 - the download speed is amazing on 3G.
Sorry for the rant...

I'm also in Florida and didn't have much luck with previous WM6 ROMs. When the InGeNeTiCs dogfood ROM was released, I installed the plain-jane version and had no problems. I decided to cook my own using mattk_r's Stripped and Ready kitchen and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I use the 2.19UK radio and have no missed calls, no ringtone changes (which I had with previous WM6 ROMs), no MMS problems (other than the sync issue which plagues everyone). I highly suggest cooking your own - put what you want in there and experiment. Once you find a mixture that you like, you'll be one happy WM6 user.
I'd suggest you leave out your WAP settings (keep GPRS from connecting) and see if you still have issues.
From what I've seen and read, the phones have a hard time juggling data and phone functions, and supposedly this is a weakness in all PDA phones like ours.
Same thing here
I have a US T-mobile MDA g3 too.
Been flash many wm6 ROMs. Then flash back wm5 because wm6 freeze on me all the time.
I just flashed TNT2 it seems better all my application works (spb shell, insight codewallet, memmaid, phatpad....) but still freeze once a while take quit long time to boot (it turns off by itself couple of time I have to take out the battery to boot) I will give other week test then decide to keep it or not .
All those wm6 roms none of them flawless on MDA, sometime not compatible with certain software I have, sometime just no sound after use the earphone ...
So T-mobile will never give out the official wm6rom for MDA? Like they did for Dash?

nope. they released the wing to basically screw us that bought the MDA. oh well im going to get the kaiser when it comes out anyways.
no problems with crashes here on any of the tested wm6 roms. running xplore 2.0 for some time now and still think its the best rom for me
As it already has WM6, is there any point me changing rom (I'm used to doing it on universal) on my vario III uk?
Is there a rom which is significatnly faster and more useful?
Or am I better just adding cabs with apps i want?
Greg.
I'm in the same boat with my ATT Tilt. I think the only reason to change roms is to get back some of the space take up by ROM crud you may never use. Beyond that, CABS are the way to go. With a 4GB card on board, I'm still not close to running out of space so I'm sticking with the stock ROM.
if everything works fine for u i see no reason
i changed to a different rom cose it kept failing to set up a yahoo.co.uk e-mail account
cooked roms are night and day diffrence from shipped roms. try a dutty rom.....you're never go back to shipped.
I personally used the att rom for a couple of days becuase I couldn't upgrade due to the white screen and after changing over to the htc rom it's so much faster.
Thanks - so you are saying it can make a big speed difference? The tmobile rom doesn't seem to come with a lot on it anyhow, is dutty/other significantly faster than tmobile?
Also how is the reliability with dutty/other cooked? Aside from pocket IE (which I have always found lacking) I have no issues and do not need to reboot yet, been a few days now.
As a minimum consider the HTC Stock ROM, its better than than T Mobile tweaked crap.
From there, i can't say i tried a few (not Dutty's yet) and found them too quirky, for now the HTC ROM is very stable with very good battery life.
Hi Guys,
I have been in contact with T-Mobile on a few occasions with regards to the update for the Vario 3, however I seem to be going nowhere fast as per the update to the Vario 2.
Anyone have any contacts within HTC or T-Mob to get a beta release of the software?
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it's what my search for 'T-mobile windows 6.1' led me to!
I've just received a Vario III replacement from T-mobile UK, and it comes installed with an official T-mobile 6.1 Rom.
I'm currently dumping it, and will attempt to reconstruct it (for installing for future returns if needed), and upload it if anyone wants it.
Apologies if this is old news and has been around for ages, but I could not find it in searches.
yes please I would like this very much!
I would also love to have this rom
Ok, I tried reconstructing it, but it was not successful.
I used the base rom and did everything as discribed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
I could not try it, as if it did not work, I'd lose the official rom, so someone here tried it and it was not like the T-mobile 6.1 rom.
Does anyone know if I need to use a 6.1 base rom instead of the WM6 one mentioned in the reconstruction thread?
I can upload the dumped raw files if anyone wants to try reconstruction?
Hi Folks,
I've uploaded the dumped .raw files from the official T-mobile UK 6.1 rom that I received with a replacement Vario III:
Part00.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193445393/Part00.raw
Part01.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193445718/Part01.raw
Part02.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193452226/Part02.raw
Part03.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193466366/Part03.raw.html
If you manage to reconstruct this, please upload the resulting rom so that myself and others can have it!
Cheers!
Anyone brave enough to give this a go?
Also, how good is the ROM? Does it appear fast?
It does seem quite good, stable & fast to be honest... and I've been used to quite up to date 6.1 cooked roms.
Though I usually just stick PointUI over any rom I use (as it's still better than TF2D for most things), so cooked roms don't really speed anything up significantly compared to the original T-mobile WM6 rom (as PointUI runs fast on all versions).
This rom doesn't have some of the good customisations or applications of more recent cooked roms, but it does come with a version of Audio Manager that has Volume up and down buttons on the screen. Seemingly unlike most chiefs, I consider this to be a useful feature for a music player!
I'd say it's definietly worth a try!

Very nice.
Quick question, what is the version of the radio on your device?
Good work monkey, it works a treat. Cheers!
There are some decent things about this ROM on first impressions. The screen update when keyboard typing seems exceptionally fast, although the screen tilt change is perhaps a little slower than on some others ROMs.

The radio on my own device is from T-Mobile NL (just look at my sig)
I don't know the radio or the SPL version from the UK rom so I didn't include it.
Radio version 1.70.18.02 came with the 6.1 official T-mobile 6.1 rom on my Kaiser, and it seemed to work great.

Same radio as the dutch one, and is already in the wiki.

I had a new 6.1 UK rom when I had phone back but it would not let me pair up bluetooth with pc.
Any one got any problems with this with the rom?
Hallo all
I am updating a friend's Raphael tonight.
Which Radio and ROM do you all suggest?
She is with AT&T (so the FUZE) and she is a bare bones kinda gal. Not into the bells and whistles. But she does want a better performing phone.
Thx for any and all of your info!!

Every radio seems to be different for everyone.
I, personally, like the Blackstone radios the best because they seem to give me better call quality than any other radio I've used, and I'm in an Edge only area.
LOTS of people seemed to like the 1.12 leaked AT&T radio, and quite a few people are using the official AT&T update 1.14 radio.
As far as a ROM, try to show her both TF3D and Titanium. Some people like WM6.5 (I'm one of them), while others hate it and prefer WM6.1.
Da_G has a bare-bones version of both. If you do the WM6.1 version, you'll have to install ALL of the HTC cabs yourself if you want TouchFlo and TF3D (Manila).
If you want WM6.5, I've been running RRE v6.3 and its very fast and stable. EnergyROM is also a good series, both 6.5 and 6.1.
So there's a lot of variables you need to figure out before you pick one to flash.
EDIT: Also, after flashing a ROM, remember to hard reset when you get to the "tap the screen..." prompt, this will help eliminate weird bugs that may popup.
I have very little experience with flashed roms and radios so far, so i won't comment on the radio, but for the rom, it sounds from whate everyone is suggesting for newbies go for the EnergyRom 2.0 WWE FINAL rom
use the Da_G basic roms then. just search around a bit.
don't use energyRom for this... they're made to be fast and tend to be slightly unstable.. if you're not a power user, it doesn't do you any good.
