I guess you flashing with a OS ROm but not a extended ROM. Therefore you Still have the old extended ROM in Which are the O2 applications.
You need to get empty extended ROM and flash it to your device.
Regards to good WM6, it is up to everyones own opinion which of the ROM are the most suitable one. Currently I am using PDAVIET 2.10.11 and I am happy with it.

From my short experience with these WM6 roms there really isn't one "use this and nothing else" rom. They're all about the same with small differences. I use Laurentius26's latest rom and am quite happy. I don't even use video calls it just that I liked how stable it was to me.

Where can I get an empty extended ROM
Thanks for the help!
Can I be pointed in the right direction to find somewhere I can get and empty extended rom from.
Am I also right in thinking if I have an empty one it will leave more space for me to install programs of my choice.
I am new to all of this but am very keen to learn.
Thanks

I think you can find one in the FTP sites mentioned in the WIKI.
From my understanding having an empty extended rom gives you more space on the device yeah.

I am also confused by the many different OS version for WM6 ROMs. I did a search and this is the closest post I could find that had an appropriate topic but the answers don't really explains the reasons for different OS versions.
Is the latest the best and most stable?
Is there an OS changelist I can view somewhere?
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?

When I found this thread I thought 'Universal' meant for all devices but I have just noticed that it was for a specific device and as such in a specific forum. I am going to post this question in the general forum...

Just WM6 itself.

Has anyone made WM6 as itself, i.e. no other stuff added for MDA Vario I?
Or the next closest but limited software?
Thanks,
I can recommend doing a forum search for tnt 1487 ( or is it 1437) touchflo.... within the posting is a link for the barebones wm6. also, if u pm me, I can direct you to the rom im using, which is very slick. it is a custom variant that was done by a friend of mine. im on my wizard now, so I will post the direct links later if u can't find it.

YUP !
if you cared to read the threads correctly where new latest wm6 Rom are launched,I'm certain you find "Vanilla" also posted there,which are just plain Roms without any applications,you can add on applications of you own desire

Not a big deal !
In that case there are many links available in threads all over the xda-forum,I just gave you the hint to search & seek,if you had gone through the threads where all the Roms are posted you cud have found many links,almost all the kitchens provided by the cooks have plain (vanilla) base rom in them, or you can port the plain Base Rom from any Stock Rom,I doubt,if you'll be able to get a Original Microsoft Wm6 release anywhere,whatever you'll get will be either ported or custom build vanilla Rom,just for reference I'm posting here one link to the kitchen by Faria,

ROM upgrade for Dell Axim X51V, WM5 A12

Hi all,
I would like to upgrade the ROM on my device.
I am aware that there are no official ROMs out there, so I was wondering if you could recommend the best ROM around here for my device.
Also, I would very much appreciate you advice on the best way to perform the upgrade itself.
Please excuse my basic questions, I am very new at this.
Thank you very much !

WM5 A12 IS official. However, you'll want to go straight for for either makuu's or LennySH's WM6.1 ROM's. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384900

Thank you very much.
In the link that you have posted I saw a section referring to my device, with a recommendation for something called:
" makuu's A06 privß06p "Pure" "
but I saw no reference to "LennySH's WM6.1 ROM.
1. Do you second that recommendation or do you think I should go for LennySH's WM6.1 ROM?
(As a general preference, I would rather have a ROM without bundled applications inside)
2. Do you happen to know where I can find a link for LennySH's WM6.1 ROM that will fit my device?
Again, please excuse me if my questions sound silly, it's just that I am very new at this, and I'm afraid to make a stupid mistake that will brick my device.
1. The lenny link is posted in an update
2. Don't be afraid - just do what is done in the youtube video
OK, thanks, I found the LennySH link.
Which version should I opt for - LennySH or Makuu ?
Is there a way to upgrade without using a SD card but by using a PC EXE file?
Thanks again for you assistance

Changing the ROM of my kaiser...steps to success

Hi, first of all I tell you I'm new in this forum. Afterward I tell you that before posting this thread I read the different FAQs and guides posted hera and I search for my following question but I didn,t find any answer.
I want to change my original ROM that came with my phone but I have few things I want to know before beginning the process. These are:
1- Any ROM will work with my phone? I brought my phone from US and it was unblocked, so I can use it with any SIM from any company here, in Argentina.
The problem is that in the page where all the ROMs are described I don't find my ROM version. My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE and the Radio Version is 1.27.15.32. The protocol version is 22.51.88.13W and the ROM date is 11/03/07. In the Model No it says "Kaiser". The most aproximate version I found in that page is 1.81.707.0 and the Radio associated with it is 1.27.12.11. What I want is to change my ROM to beging using WM6.1 cause the version of my WM is 6.0, but I don't know if I chose any of the ROM that are available or I have to take care of something I don't know.
2- Suposing I can chose any ROM available, is it convenient to use it with the radio that is associated with it or I have to continue using my radio version (1.27.15.32)?
3- If I change the ROM following all the steps that are described in other FAQs or threads, the phone will continue unblocked in order to be useable with any company or it will be blocked for a certain one, for example AT&T? Remember I am in Argentina.
4- How can I do to backup my current ROM and Radio so, if I have any problem I could restore it to my phone? It is supposed that if I do so (restoring the original ROM) the phone will operate as it's doing now, insn't it?
Well, that all for now.
Thanks a lot.
Guido.
My dear friend all the questions you ask have been asked many times and answered many times. I have a hard time believing when you say you have read everything .. because your post makes it obvious you haven't. Nonetheless i'll answer these questions here for you:

Yes "any kaiser rom" will work with your phone. But first you need to get Hardspl than you can flash any rom that is available here to your phone. Looks like you have a wm6 rom and wm6 radio. When you upgrade to wm6.1 you will need a wm6.1 radio. Most roms come with radios so you don't need to worry about this. If a rom doesn't have a radio the cook will specify that and most will often suggest which radios work best with their rom. To see a list of different radios available please check link in my sig for Alltheway's thread on radios.

i already answered this in my above answer. But to reiterate wm6 rom will work with a wm6 radio i.e what you already have; a wm6.1 rom WILL NEED a wm6.1 radio so it won't work with your current radio.

flashing a rom in no way changes the unlocked status of your phone.

umm okay you don't wana do this yourself as i don't think so you know how to. Most of the stock kaiser roms are available in the wiki and have links to download them. In the even that you want to return your phone back to its original rom you can download from kaiser wiki.
Secondly please do extensive reading... your post shows that you really haven't done your homework. A kaiser is a expensive piece of equipment and you definitely don't want to mess it up just because you were lazy and didn't want to first understand exactly what you were doing.
Having said that i wish you good luck and happy flashing.
Thesire...first of all I really appreciate your quick answers tomy questions. I have to confess I didn't think to get an answer so quickly.
Anyway, I have to tell you that I didn't write anywhere I had read "everything" as you say. Of course I didn't, all the time in the universe life would be enough to do it. But you can be sure I followed all the instructions that are posted to do before posting a new thread, and those include reading the FAQ of ROM Developing, seeing the charming video of "what to do before posting a new thread", search my questions, and I tell you I spent all the last thursday looking for any answer to my questions, but I didn,t find them. I am not saying that they are not, of course they may be, but I didn't find them. Perhaps, of course, it's almost sure is because I didn't know how to search. But I did it. I read about the different SPLs that I have to download, the different version of them I have to try if I have for ie. the blank display, etc.
Another thing, when you say that always I can have the posibility to restore my original ROM downloading it, I told that in the thread that appears all the ROMs my actual version is not there. So, I wonder where my ROM is comming from and who cooked it.
At last, but not for that less important, I want to really thank you for your and for the time you spent answering my questions. Just remember I'm a newbie and perhaps, someday I'll be answering a question from you in this theme or another, ie. communications!!! Also remember that for us, the people who don't have the english as our natural languaje, sometimes reading the posts can be a little difficult and can be reading something that is answering our question and don't actually realize it or don't understand it at all.
Thanks.
Guido.

Looking for clean CE OS 5.2.20940 only.

Hi all,
I am using at&t tilt quite a long time and have used many roms. This time I would like to try something else and install only the pure, clean latest OS itself, which is "CE OS 5.2.20940" at this time.
However all I can find is many roms cooked with this version along with so many utilites, which I don't want.
Can someone please direct to pure, clean OS without everything?
Regards,
Try asking in this thread and maybe do a search in it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410975
M
May be then I should revise the question like this: Where can I find the CE OS 5.2.20940 in order to install to my kaiser; where are other rom makers finding this clean os and they add their own applications in it?
I am sure there are people like me somewhere there who install this basis first and then use some applications on it. I just can not find this.
Regards,

Ahhh I would look in the kitchen threads,(the how to's for building a Rom, they should have the info you are looking for....

[Q] experiences with the different ROMs.....any tipps ?

Hallo here in forum
today i want to flash my "new" htc tytn2. a friend gave it to me as present, because he had his new i-phone.
he told me, that he already flashed a few roms (from xda-dev) on the phone, so i think i can use the "Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)"-guide from STEP 5 to flash my new baby...... am i right ??
i mean i dont need to do the hardSPL-part, right ?
im just going to doublesheck a few things here, because i dont want to do no mistake.
then he told me, that i just should look witch is the most popular rom (i think he ment the thread with the most posts or clicks.)
i followed his hint and found the "HyperDragon IV Mega"-rom
but then takin a closer look i realised that the links to the rom are down:
"...Admin edit: links removed due to legal complaint from microsoft...."
hmm,....i know it is hard to say "witch is the best rom"...but can anyone give me his special tip.
i think it is not a good way to just take the rom with the most posts in the supportthread, because it is possible, that a rom just lunched and is better than olders,etc.
is there any thread with a list of most popular roms and a discussion about them ???
greetings revnu
105 views and noone has an idea ?
isnt there a list of all roms and a kind of ratingsystem to make it easier for someone to decide wich rom to try out ?

There is unwillingness to do any kind of rating, etc. out of respect for the chefs and their hard work, which is voluntarily done.
I know how it is to come to this scene for the first time. You've read the flashing guide. That's good. Take a look at the various offerings. Consider the features. Read the comments. There are a lot of excellent roms to try. Some are lite, so you can add features to your liking. (probably something you should try later after you become more familiar with the flashing scene) Some are loaded according to the cook's taste. After a few tryouts you might even become a flashing junkie.
Good Success!
ok i understand.
at time i have the black styluz mod. i dont know wich version, but i have to flash a new rom because my version have bugs.
im going to flash the black styluz v5 because i dont have a clue wich rom could be good
but i think there are a few roms out there wich a very popular, because they have win6,5 or other things.
okok i try to tell it in short:
I AM NOT ABLE TO DECIDE WICH ROM TO TAKE BECAUSE THEIR ARE TO MUCH AND THEY HAVE NO STRUKTURE
from my later experiences then flashing older phones i always found such thing is a "list of avabable roms".... is their such a threath ?
sry 4 bad english
"list of available roms" . . . For the most part, that is what this forum is. All Kaiser roms found on XDA are listed here, on a thread by thread basis. You mentioned bugs. . . You'll have problems on many if you don't flash to a stock rom first. Each cook offers the recommended procedure for flashing their rom. Their recommendations are worth following.
ur right....im sry
ill check few roms and decide ma own. till now i had experience with black stylus.
the error i had (could not send sms) was because of my handyprovider...
anyway i now flashed the newest black stylus (full) over the older sylus version......without flashing to a stock rom first. i read the instruktion on his site, but i think i missed the part...
Once you become a little more familiar with things it won't be so troublesome. I hope you will enjoy it. The ol' Kaiser is sinking into the sunset, but it is still a great phone, and many of these roms bring out the best this device has to offer.
Good success to you. . .
There are so many to try? It's good. You will not get bored by your phone!
First, read through the FAQ & Wiki. Even if you don't have to do unlock and HardSPL anymore..
It's very important to read more than do more in the beginning.
Enjoy your TyTn II. I use it as 'PC' and dial into my older SE M600i that acts as bluetooth modem. The reason is that I have bought data plan for that SIM card, and I don't want to swap my current SIM card on my working phone (TyTn II) to older phone, but want to use the internet update from that data plan. Tricky, but it works!
I don't know if any other platform can do the same.
