Is the WM5 AKU2.2 NVID rom a usable rom?

I see that the NVID rom is used a lot as a first step in flashing to WM6 roms. My Question is whether this rom is usable as the primary ROM? Or does it miss/lack a lot of things in the extRom that would normally get installed?
I'm planning to downgrade to WM5 after using WM6 for a while and deciding which rom to use. =)
Thanks,

Quick bump for weekend crew

no, this is a doctored rom for temp use only.
The PDAviet step 1 rom is the best one to use for the purpose of upgrading to wm6, even for non-PDAviet roms.

You use the upgrade utility exe, in the extraction, that corresponds to either G3 OR G4, whatever device you have.

If you like to turn back to WM5, the best ROM every posted is the ASERG's one. Its 100% stable and you wont believe how fast it is. After testing all those WM6 ROMs i switched back to ASERGs ROM. its simply the best for using a "fast" prophet. All the WM6 roms become slower and slower with every new third-party software you install.
here is the post with the download links to the ASERG AKU3.3.13:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1179977&postcount=415
And here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292925&page=42&highlight=aserg.rar
Start reading all posts starting at the bottom with #415, somewhere it is explained how to downgrade. [dont ask me where it is exactly, the thread became to long and i dont like to search now , please do it on your own] the steps from this thread are working for the downgrade process from WM6 to ASERGs WM5.

Thanks everyone.
Good to know that the NVID rom is not usable... I wonder what makes PDAVIET's step 1 rom better?
After there was no big improvement in the PDAViet 4.0000.3 ROM, I think i'll go back to the *old* dopod AKI 2.15 ROM since that rom doesn't have the slow SIP option bug... Thanks for the recommendation of ASERG's rom. I'll give it a try =)

I've been having a single serious problem with all the WM6 ROMs I've tried, as well as with Aserg's latest 3.3 ROM.
The phone will intermittently not recieve calls. The caller is quickly diverted to voice mail, and I get no ring, no notification of a missed call, and no message waiting indicator.
I have gone from Fantastic Mobitz 1.1i to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3 to Aserg 3.3 without resolution. I have tried Radio ROMs 2.47.21, 2.61.21, and 2.69.21 without success in all of them.
At this point, I just want to downgrade to the latest shipped WWE ROM, which is AKU 2.2. As expected, it is removed from the xda-dev ftp site. I've googled the web, read the WIKI, and searched this site for a download link. Does anyone have a link to the AKU 2.2 WWE ROM?

Much thanks - I have it now.
Earlier in the post, someone replied that this ROM is inadequate by itself for regular use. Is anything important missing? I assumed it is the same as the shipped version except for the NVID part.

That's the ROM I've been using myself for quite some time and has worked flawlessly for quite some time now. I can install and uninstall anything without discernible problems. I have more than 1500 SMS' saved without performance issues, and battery life is very good under normal usage (I also have batterystatus plug-in)
Recently I've been having problems but it probably is more related to the software I've been using (GPSProxy, Que)

The New Guava ROM by Dr.Gonzo. (WM6.0)

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.

Original Windows Mobile 6.1 Port

Hi,
My name is Baron. I own a HTC P4350 PPC. I was wondering if there is any port of the Original WM 6.1 version for the Herald without any customizations. I have been trying different versions of each cook's 6.1 versions but I don't know. I like them but I guess I like things to be original lol. I really like the TouchFLO, its awesome. But if there is anyone who can help me out or even let me know how to aquire 6.1 and teach me how to port it would be nice. Maybe I can be a cook or something. But I guess that would need the help of all of you. I am familiar with flashing Heralds at the moment and of course last year I was flashing Motorolas with Motorola's custom OS not the ones with WM. Anyway thanks for your time and I hope I can be seen as a cook around here or something. Oh, don't forget about the original WM 6.1

There was never an original WM6.1 for the Herald. You'll have to cook your own ROM using a WM6.1 base and port it using a stock 6.0 Herald ROM without any kind of customizations except for a lot of the customizations needed to fix all the bugs that will arise from simply sticking both bases together. The original ROM tends to be slow and buggy, though... What about the original ROM do you like? There might already be a ROM that has those features.

Thanks for your fast response. I knew there was never a actual 6.1 release for the Herald, I was just wondering if anyone ported the original release to work with a Herald. But with what you said about it being buggy, I never thought about that but I guess that would make sense, but I have seen some custom ROMs with 6.1 and flashed them myself to see how it would work and these 6.1 versions were not bad at all, especially with TouchFLO. So I guess my question is, how were they able to cook a 6.1 version? They had to have picked up an original to modify it if I'm correct. As I said I would like to learn how to cook as well so if anyone has time to help me learn at least the basics that would be appreciated. I can learn more myself if I know the basics.

I have a few threads dedicated to teaching how to cook. It's just the basics but it's enough to get you started.
Every 6.1 ROM here has been made by porting a 6.1 from another phone (there is no "original" per say as new versions are released all the time.) using the OEM of an original HERALD 6.0 ROM but modifying it heavily, making a custom XIP (kind of like the kernel and all the stuff related to it) from both the ported ROM and the older ROM, and then adding their own apps and tweaks.
In my case, I also do a heavy amount of stripping of useless files.

I'm kind of on the same page. I'd love to find an unmodified wm6.1. I've tried a couple of them, and they're all great, but they also have a bunch of stuff loaded in them or different versions of apps. I'd like to find a wm6.1 load that JUST has the org wm6.1 apps in it and nothing else. No mods, no alternative apps, skins, etc.

then take an original WM6 and behappy with that...belive me ivansstripped wm6.1 ONLY have tweaks that are really useful...to correct the crappy MS waste....
If you do NOT wantto correct that crap...go with an original WM6...it the same

same here
I am also looking for this...
I am VERY new to cooking and have not been able to manage to Dump any of the 6.1 ROMs. (I must be missing something)
I would like to start with an "original" ROM that I can play with and try to build my own custom ROM

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what "original" means. If you just want something clean and stripped that you can add whatever you want into it, then any of my ROMs will do.

To ivanmmj
I guess by original I meant base 6.1 ROM but since there is not an official 6.1 base ROM for Herald I was just trying to figure out how the other cooks were able to get 6.1 in their releases so I could cook up my own 6.1 for me and possibly upload it for someone to test or use. But it's ok, you already answered that for me but maybe you can point me in the right direction. I've been hearing that a Kaiser 6.1 ROM is easy to port to the Herald. But let me know how you were able to port it. I read some of your tutorials and I'll definately give it a try as soon as I get the time. Possibly this Sunday or so.

If you're looking for a bug free base, you might be better off just using one of my ROM as a base (since I tend to release the kitchen files for my ROMs.)
I have a post somewhere here about SYS and XIP porting. Find it and follow that. It works fine with kaiser ROMs.

Thanks! I don't know if I have tried your ROMs yet. I'll give it a go.
From what I have been able to gather (not very much) is that some ROM have their RGU files removed, making it imposible to Dump the ROM. When I try to open with the Package Tool nothing happens?

Actually, some ROMs are even encrypted...
In my case, all my ROMs are released WITH the kitchen files in case you want to make your own version. All that I ask is that you mention where the base came from since the base took a long time to make.

I don't know if this is the right place for this post.... and forgive my ignorance again.
I just can't get the Kitchen to work with any 6.1 ROM. I have tried JustMe and I follow exactly the same steps as with the original ROM. I just can't get a poputated OEM or SYS folder. What am I missing?

...Original rom?
There isnt a true original rom. Theres a base, which cannot be loaded on herald unless is ported with original 6.0 (which is ment for herald).
So. basically it looks like this:
Base 6.1 + Original 6.0 = herald 6.1
(original) (port)
you cant just use a base for a rom. you can port it, then extract what u want and dont want though (which theretically will turn yer ported 6.1 into an "original" one)

I managed to port a 6.1 rom following ivanmmj tutorial, quoted below.
" How to port a SYS folder
1. Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
2. Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
3. Replace the old SYS folder with the new one. "
but I only did step 1 and did not do step 2. It worked and seems stable.

The Shell32.exe doesn't always have to be ported, but if you port a ROM that comes with a different dpi, you need to use your old shell32.dll (unless you want to manually convert it into the proper DPI...)

There is no official WM 6.5 update for the TyNT II. All the 6.5 roms you see on this site are cooked (unofficial ) roms. To use one of them read here:

But again , anryl and josh are just using builds based on leaked beta versions of 6.5, not official versions or even official beta versions. M$ can only hope their final version is as cool as anryl's or josh's.

well just want to give him an idea what it look like

It's pretty with lots of sparkly lights and beautiful backgrounds. I have a feeling it will be a bit of a beast for the Kaiser when all is said and done. There are some really great roms out there though. Hyperdragon has a couple of them.

I was one of the first guys to flash Josh's roms when he came here from Hermes, and have flashed and used every one since. Problem is I hate Titanium, and I love Manila. And Reza IMHO, does Manila better than anybody.
But that is not to say that I don't appreciate people ( josh and anryl ) who are the best at things I don't prefer.

I like the ROM I installed this morning
I spent all day yesterday getting educated. I read and read, and then I tried and I bricked my phone a few times. But because I kept reading, I finally figured out mskip's instructions on Flashing your First ROM. I love XDA developers, and I love my new ROM. Now that my TILT is unlocked, there's no limit to what I can load on it. A rom a day keeps the boredom away

Which ROM?

Hi folks - I have just got an XDA Exec which is presently running WM5 with all the O2 (UK) firmware and apps loaded
I want to upgrade and have been trawling the posts here for clues to the latest/best ROM to use - WM6.1 or WM6.5
And.. I'm confused - too many posts and too many ROM versions..
The one that seems to stand out is Tomal's ROMs but again - which is best?
Also, how do I install the ROM? (I will re-read the forum in case I missed it!)
My head's like mush (not surprising with having a hyperactive 2 year old to contend with as well!! )

Good Rom
Hi There
It is difficult to say which is the best ROM as they all meet different needs for different users, but if you want a fast, stable and all round good ROM, then go for TOMAL's 8.2.
I have flashed many roms but always seem to come back to this one.
I mean no disrespect to the other great chefs it's just my personal opinion and long may thier excellent work continue.
To learn about flashing go to the Universal WIKI page and have a deep read, you can find it at the top of the Universal page.
And just to say congrats on choosing a decent phone

Thanks Dixiesmu, I'll take a look at the wiki page and search for Tomal's 8.2 ROM...

You can try also VNint WM6.1 rom, it's fast and stable

Thanks Win_XP..
