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.
Please, you continue the job.

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

yeah i'll work on a beta 2, the imap is a weird problem, ill see what i can do,usb is harder as its a driver issue
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?
HTH

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?

Poll: Which ROM should we continue to develope with ?

So, which ROM should we continue to develope with ?
AKU 3.3 ? or WM6 ?

Hi Jesterz
Thats not an easy one, I tried the WM6 rom, and it worked but with the mentioned bugs, but it took all of my available ram, and kept coming up with memery shortage errors, does WM6 need more memory for it to operate, and will it ever have enough on a prophet?
JD

WM6!!!!!!
Im test the PDAVIET and the only big problem is the charge item.
[]s FerSoft

I say continue with AKU3.3 it's the one with less bugs...

yeah me too, lets go on with Aku 3.3

Personally I think that we should continue with WM6. More 3rd party applications will be developed for it in the long run, and it makes sense to future proof our Prophets.

WM6 please. Since the official wm6 has been released, why we need the AKU3.3? I really like the update option in WM6. And a bounch of other features in WM6 is also cool.

I think aku 3.3 needs just a bit more tweaking and that should come first, right?
You're probably closer to another release as well...

Sorry, I do not know why I got triple post here.....

WM6 Please Please Please
I loved WM6 only probs were
reset on return from standby (obex fix) only when not plugged in mains or usb
charging/batt status doesnt work after return from standby
Sometimes looses BT and Wifi information
I think the first two are linked. The device can only come out of standby if the obex dll registry is removed or renamed. maybe if the obex thing was fixed the charging might continue to work!!!
Excellent work though Jesterz - I use your 2.2r1 in production. Rock Solid and I have even kept the Jesterz Splash Screen

It is useless to play around with ext rom only. The core problems like IR malfunctioned, USB charging unstable that need to be fixed.
Of course we should look forward to WM6.

yes, no more repacking of extrom. we should switch to wm6 as soon as possible.(jesterz don't wait to complete poll, its
already crying for wm6) Beside this we should come forward to proper rom cooking kitchen for
prophet. I think Prophet forum lacks R&D very much
thanx

I think it too, but you can't force people to buy prophets so they could turn their heads our way!

WM6 is my choice.
I think it will take a long time to stabilise wm6 rom but eventually we will reap the rewards as it is the future.

WM6 for me. Let's prepare our Prophets for the future.

I think we should go for WM6! This is the feature!

Better go for WM6!!! Go Jesterz Go!

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 :/

You need to use ROMs made for the Universal on a Universal, this forum is full of them. The latest PDAVIET ROM is the newest.

But jwright's is the best.

Agreed, but, those leaks always make me roll back to WM5

You can't use a ROM for Hermes on a Universal. It's like putting a truck engine on a sports car, it can be done... but you're going to have problems.
There's really nothing on the WM6 that's worth upgrading to. Not to metion you lose the ability to do video call.. (which really sucks for me since video call here in my country (PH) has the same price as a regular call and most people here have 3G phones). Helmi's 1.3.1 WM5 AKU 3.5 is still the best.

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!

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)
