Coming from Prophet to Universal! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hey there !
Iam currently a user of a HTC Prophet which is a nice unit i think, but i need some bigger screen and thats why iam thinking about changing to this Universal..
I have gotten used to WM6 so my question is:
How stable is the Universal with WM6 ? Is there any isuess that i should be aware of and that haven't been fixed as to date?
Like with the prophet many are howing problems with settings and stuff getting lost after Software resets and A2DP isn't working very well yet.. Anything like that on the Universal ?
Thanks !
~D

I personally think WM6 on universe works great. Yes there are a few things that dont work but things that wont kill you. I have never lost any data after a soft reset. I think you will like it

Welcome to big boys toy
My own opinion: currently Ivans WM6 AKU 0.5 is most stable, functional ROM.
You may give also a try to PDAVIET ROM v2.11.13 PDAVIET CE OS 5.2.1908 Build 18508.0.7.0. This is aku 0.7 ROM. Very fast but may not be stable as Ivans ROM. Besides it has been here reported that if you have bootloader V2x (G4 devices) this ROM may not able to flash.

3.5 ROM

Though I might start a new thread for this 3.5 ROM if thats not too naughty
JD
What do we know about it so far and is there an upload that isn't corrupt yet?
Dear Prophet users.
Dont flash Helmi_c 3.5 ROMs because they composed without trying on real device.
Helmi_c has Universal. And his Uni 3.5 version has some glitches.
Helmi's prophet versions boot only to 1 splash and thats all.
I'm trying to compose my own version and my version booting to 2 splash.
I think that i missed something in initialization files.
If anyone can help me, this will be great.
Thank you all.
I think Jesterz or LVSW are your contacts here, but I havn't heard from LVSW for some time, jesterz has done a great job so far on 3.3 clean, anyone else who can help here?

well, I dont find difficulty, so far so good, thats includin my crossbow rom for universal... and so does my BA (Xdaiis), Himalaya project and also Htc scooter (Mitac Mio), offcourse every rom that built with hacked version/method has some bug, thats why we call it beta, this could happen due the drivers availability limitation, and that also happens to original shipped rom right? lol..
and you? what u did? are u usefull?
thanks helmi for your time.

Hi Jesterz
Great news.....
Might there be a new 3.3 b2 with a few fixes, mainly for me the dissapearing imap mail accounts is a real pain, usb charging second, but there is a way around that one for now, also the gps is a useful addition
Great work once again

what do u mean with gps? you mean the icon? as even without that gps works....
let me know
thx
Hi Jesterz
The gps I only mentioned as I was playing around with the midlet manager and google maps today, and wondered if it was necessary to use a gps unit with the midlet manager? If not dont worry.
One thing I did notice over Christmas while using the 3.2 clean version, My tomtom software locked up a few times (which it had never done before) I havn't had a chance to try it yet with your 3.3 since installing it
FYI
JD
Helmi_c
Excuse me man, but i think that you can describe the booting process sequence. And one more question: if i make version, that boot to 2 splash, but dont show welcome screen, thats told about that i missed something in initialization files. What are you thinking about that, could you help me?
Jesterz
Here is a possibility......I am sure I soft reset this device yesterday and the email accounts stayed (not definate though) then I installed some other software, I would guess (purely a guess) that possibly some memory is being overwritten by me installing other software on the device that is being used by the system/email account info as it is only partly dissapearing?
Possible or not possible?

Can you explain what you mean by the midlet manager using GPS? Isn't this more a function of the java app calling for the right port?

Windows Mobile 6

At this moment what is the best Windows Mobile 6 ROM??
1) WM6 Smart v2
2) Fantastic Mobiz XBow v1.1i
3) PDAMobiz Prophet WM6 V1.00
4) other?
Thanks!
Well I am using Fantastic Mobiz XBow v1.1i and I personally feel this is the best of the 3 roms.
I have Used Smart v2 on my Dopod 818 pro and it was pretty buggy with crashes. With Fantastic Mobiz XBow v1.1i i havent had any issues so far been using it for a week now.
For my use i do best like Smart1 WM6 V2.. I think theres to much crap with the Fantastic xbow v1.1i.. Many apps wich i never gonna use and thats not the case with smart1 v2, wich i also think is the fastest of all the current wm6 roms..
Trueneytral 1.1
Fast
Smooth
Bugless
only one thing. Russiand dialpad...change it for other and you are done

For which phone? and what is your view of "best"? If I assume you are talking about prophet phones cuz you posted here, then the answer is depends. What are you looking for? I tried pretty much all of them, none of them are perfect to my standard. Wait for the official ROM for prophet if that is ever gonna happen. I will be perfectlly happy with an official wm5 AKU 3.3 even.

None of them is stable even I have tuned the font and file memory. It still got hung often. I am using the offical rom again.
Smart1 v2 runs pretty fine here without crashes. Just the documented bugs.
Yo Alberto... as you can read in the forum, all those WM6 for the Prophet are a lill buggy. It compares to the user and his wishes, if one bug is important for him or not.
if you r looking for a fast and stable Prophet ROM, in my opinion the ASERG Rom is the best and the fastest you can get at the moment.
No WM6 Modification reach that speed, i tried them all and turn back to ASERGs ROM. I guess a stable WM6 for Prophet will take a while, anyway thanks to all of you guys who spend their time on modding it for us .

sure ASERG Rom is the best and the fastest WM5 with WM6 appear
Stable no hang .... no soft reset ... never and never need hard reset
Yes, but .13.ASERG loses email settings, WiFi settings and God-knows-what-more (I'm testing it right now) when soft-resetted or battery removed. Inacceptable, I guess :/

Wanna Change my rom

This Morning I have soft reset my M600 and WM6 lost my password.
So I'm dissapointed I cannot unlock anymore my phone.
I want to change my WM6 rom by another one but there is so many rom and so many bug sometime that I'm not sure to choose the good one.
I have heard that the Smart Rom is greater and this week a new rom release of this on will be done.
I wait your council

When you read the different topics about the different ROM's you will notice that not everyone is thinking the same about every ROM. So you really should try them yourself and decide wich you like the most.

Sad part is the most stable wm6 rom is in chinese so far. I know this wouldnt help you, but you should try each rom and see for yourself. Some of them look good in the beginning, then it starts crashing within a week. Give aku 3.3 a try or re-evaluate do you really need wm6 or aku3.3 (they are no official release for prophet) anyway good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.
I'am not a Geek but after use WM6 it's appear that he is more speed and more funnyier to us as WM5. So I prefer a rom with some bug but with more powerfull instead another bugless and more slowly. I Try the WM6 Rom WM6 PDA Mobiz. Yet no big problem

Thinking of rolling back to WM5

Hey,
When I bought my Universal from ebay it already came with WM6 (a very buggy version, not sure from where). So I never really had the chance to test WM5.
I'm mostly having problems installing Hebrew support on the cooked roms. For instance PDAC (one of the companies who make hebrew for PPC) told me that because their software detects my device as WM5 their licensing system won't allow me to install (by the way, is there a work around this problem? This is all legit of course I want to buy this software).
I'm not going to ask what are the official differences because I can find more than enough about it on the web, but is there really a technical reason to stay with a cooked WM6 (being somewhat buggy)? Besides being prettier are the cooked roms giving any advantage over WM5 ? From my understanding both operating systems are pretty much the same besides the included software.
Thanks
[edit]
By the way I want to emphasize that I REALLY TRULY appreciate the effort spent into making these cooked roms. SERIOUSLY. This isn't a complaint thread!
[/edit]
Yeah im think about downgrading but to be honest just flash with a good WM6 rom and then wait a bit and more software will come out its still a new OS and i like being like the elite few lol with WM6 thanks to XDA Developers!

Perhaps I will downgrade temporarily. My main concern is Hebrew support. Besides that everything else works just fine.
I would like to roll back to WM5 as well and tried Jwright's and Helmi's one. Both of them gave me surprising stable and reasonable fast experience. But one thing keeps me coming back to WM6 is the WAY MORE intelligence way of dialing a phone.
I am now still looking for a WM5 rom which is as stable as those I had quoted and WITH the Smartdialing function.
Any ideas? please share.
Thanks

What's the smart-dialing function? I never had WM5 so I don't know the difference in dialing.
I just gave up on this idea after seeing how horrible WM5 is :/
And I actually managed to install Hebrew support! Yay!

WM5 horrible? wtf?
I you dont use video call, and you don't mind the bugs of WM6 with WiFi and MMS. Then stick with WM6. Otherwise.. use WM5.

From the things I saw in the official O2 installation I made:
- Sim contacts don't appear as regular contacts
- Outlook looks like the horrible outlook I had in my old PocketPC2002
- The phone dialer is not responsive and very buggy
- Overall slower than WM6
I'm personally not having any problems with WiFi in WM6.
And yeah I don't use video call or MMS I don't use any G3 features.
Oh.. you used the official WM5 from O2. I wouldn't use that myself.. too darn slow and lots of missing features. I'm using Jwright's ROM... anyway, it's just personal preference. I'd rather have all the features that my Universal can offer with WM5 rather than have a better looking WM6 ROM with buggy and missing features.
Highly Recommend To Try Kamal's WM5 ROM (AKU 3.5)

It's in Chinese but not WWE. Mixed reviews.
Can anyone confirm that this is a legitimate version or a fake one?
It is ajc2003 rom who produced this Fantastic Rom WM6.1 For Wizard OS 5.2.19521 built 19521 WWE. I think it is in Beta 1. Insead of calling it fake, I would call it hybrid, if it even is. Here is a link to show the progress he is making with it http://bbs.xbeta.cn/forumdisplay.php?fid=11&filter=type&typeid=64

wow that's the newest wm6.1 build for the Kraiser!
That would be so awesome if someone already ported that one for the wizard.
The core OS is a leaked evaluation version from the Motorola Q8 (1.07.24R)
I am running it on my Faraday

well....what do you think so far??...feedback man!!!
Working great on my Fararaday. GnatGoSplat is the Cooker. He is the one behind this project; [Mar 24, 2008] Boring ROMs 5.2.1629 for AT&T, T-Mobile and now vanilla flavored!
Maybe you can ask him if he would port that build over and make it work with our Wizard
The 19202 I ported to Tornado and StarTrek are WM6.1 Standard. It wouldn't work well on a Wizard because you'd have to use the Dpad for everything, the touchscreen wouldn't work.
I can port any WM6.1, but Wizard should have the Professional version for touchscreen support.
Indeed the latest O2 (MWG) device Zinc II is running based on this build (refer to the pix attached)
just flashed this and also pulled it apart... i'm going to test it for a bit, but this version is basically TNT 19199. splash, customizing screen and version (CE OS 5.2.19202 (Build 191999.1.0.0)TNT) feel is the same too....
we'll see what's up with it, im guessing just a few modules were changed or maybe not even that, but still a good rom just like TNT's. too bad i can't find a real 19202...
btw, 19209 is available now... looks like a port of this:

I am in Las Vegas attending CTIA Wireless show. MS has officially released WM6.1 today at this event. I checked some phones running 6.1 on MS booth and found the OS version is 5.2.19204 (Build 5.2.19204.1.0.1) on Tilt and 5.2.19524 on a Touch Dual. I think the Wizard is just too old hence I didn't see any displayed.
