Worth Flashing Vario III to HTC ROM ?? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

From what I have read it looks like AT&T have hacked the HTC rom quite a bit and it is worthwhile flashing. With T-Mobile however it seems like most things are roughly the same (has HTC home, comm manager etc)
I have installed Quick GPS / live search / messenger etc via cabs.
Is it worth it yet or should I wait for a cooked rom?
Also out of interest, if I do flash to the HTC rom how is it with all the connection details ?? Do I need to re-add all the SMS center number and Web access details etc ???

I flashed mine from uk t-mobile to austinsync's clean htc rom 2 weeks ago and it's fine.Put sim card in a message popped up saying "click here to download t-mobile uk settings", and voicemail/sms/mms settings were all configured automatically.The rom is much faster than the original and slightly more storage space too.

anyone flashed from the t-mobile uk rom to the standard HTC one?? if so is there actually anything to gain / loose by doing so ?

I am also keen to know which is the better option with these ROM's?
Having gone from an Artemis to the Kaiser, I am keen to address the standard t-mobile rom with something similar to one of the cooked ROMs that was available for the Artemis?
Does anyone have the T-mobile ROM in case a repair was needed after installing a cooked ROM?
(sorry if this comes across as a Hi-jack not meant to be just question popped into my head)

Yesterday, I've replaced my dutch T-Mobile rom, with one of the cooked ones you'll find on the forum. The Vario feels much snappier now. I know the tmo rom is relatively clean, but still, there is a performance benefit.

ATT Or Voda

There seems to be allot said in this forum about both Roms, but I'm still pondering this question. Which is better as an all around Rom, meaning web browsing, mms, and the usual tasks that we all know.
I am presently using the "Vanilla" version of the ATT Rom. Can't say that I am unhappy, but you always want to know it the grass is greener on the other side.
Thanks
Well,
for me, that 2 ROM had different adv/disadv..
==================================
- at&t come with few "junk" program, so eat few megabytes memory. But you can delete (unlock) those file
- voda give more memory. adding 2 link (windows Live and MSN)
- voda run smoother (faster) than at&t (my phone)
- but, if you run too many apps, Voda looks like buggy (slower)
and at&t are faster, if you run more apps (or repeated). But beware for low memory warning.
- as report (my friend's Treo), Voda signal not good as at&t
- Voda's ROM boot up faster than at&t. Of course, the red voda logo is nicer than "bulky boring" at&t
well, to early to judge which ROM is good.
Just playing for few days..
I'll report it later..
Better you wait, the PALM ROM comes out.. Maybe in 2010?

I think you are right. It's been my experience that the AT&T Rom overall is slightly better, especially if you have allot of programs installed like me. So for now I will wait for what ever other Rom comes next.
Thanks.
I have a vodafone Italy treo, I tried both the ROMs.
The (vanilla) ATT worked fine for a couple of week or so but after this time of flawlessly operations I had a problem :
this problem.
The worst thing is that the linked patch cannot be installed on a vodafone treo, so I suggest to install the vodafone ROM.
I never eperienced the auduo problem with the wm5 vodafone rom and now the wm6 voda ROM is working fine too.

TyTN II ROM - Best One?

Sorry for simple question, newbie here. Is there a concensus on the best ROM to update the TyTN II (US Version). I am having trouble deciphering all the threads. Is the HTC "factory" ROM best option? Thanks for any advice offered.

It all depends on what you are looking for. There are tons of ROMs for that device. Dutty's Touchflo is really good if you want that type of interface. The problem with the original ROM is it isn't optimized very well, could be faster and there are others out there that are. You should be lucky you dont have the Tilt, that ROM from AT&T is the slowest I have had on the device. I am looking at one that is fast and comes with as little as possible, but still allows for lots to be added, for instance I like Dutty's Touchflo but I would like to have a clean one with nothing but the basics then add the stuff myself that I want. (touchflo so far doesn't have a cab installer).
I found about 5 more ROMs that I wanna try out before I decide on just settling for one (for now).
Tilt
The TyTN II is the Tilt, isn't it? I have the Tilt.
The TyTN II and the Tilt/8925 are variants of the HTC Kaiser. Different models, but very similar.
TYTN II have the front camera, tilt doesn't.
That's the only noticeable difference (aside from different coloured keyboard).
Another difference is the way the radio is implemented into the Tilt on the latest ROM. The Tilt Radio does not work with the TyTN II ROM, but the Tilt ROM works with the TyTN II Radio. Not to confuse you or anything.

Don't worry about the Tilt/TyTN II differences. Just read through the discussion thread for each ROM releases and decide which one fits you better. I went through HelmiC's BigStorage, Kyphur's XDA-Live 1.0, and now I have finally settled with Dutty's Hybrid No.4 Lite version. I ditched Helmi's because it was outdated. XDA-Live was very problematic for me but ran awesome. No.4 Lite has been great so far with no problems. *knock on wood* So, it's pretty much a trail-and-error kind of deal. Try and decide on which one to keep.
another newbie with the same question. Flashing is a pain when you first start, but you gotta get use to it. Some of us flash our phones twice a week. Play around with your stock phone and figure what apps you like. Then find a rom that seems close to it. Then flash it. Otherwise, if you are afraid to flash, stick with the stock.
After flashing half a dozen roms I have settled on the latest ATT Tilt rom without the customizations and the device is overall more stable and usable than ever, plus no need to CID unlock...bonus.

Thanks. I just called AT&T and told them I was going to Europe and that I needed my phone unlocked. They sent code in an hour, so it's unlocked anyway!

If you're after the Touch interface, go with Dutty's Touch Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344351

It's the best mix of speed, apps, and stability I've found.
If you want a starting point, try that. But be warned: rom flashing is an addictive pursuit. Once you start, there'll always be that nagging feeling that the next rom is better, or that someone else's rom has features you need.
Good luck!
You should really refer to the Wiki first before you do any flashing.

English verison Rom HTC tilt HTC TyTn 11
Hello, I'm working in Russia, i bught the above here in msocw, but the rm is Russian version, Where can i ger an English (european) rom version?
I would really be greatful for some assistance..
Thank you
Just remember, when CID unlocking your device to flash cooked roms, there will be more of a process reverting to an ATT rom, if the need arises i.e. return, or warranty issues.
By starting off with an official ATT rom, there is no need to use HardSPL and like I previously mentioned, restarting before ATT custoimizations initiate leaves you with a speedy, reliable, full featured rom that is a lot better than the fully bloated, initial ATT release (radio is worlds better in the new one)
Then, you can always CID unlock and flash again later to a cooked rom if you wish. This could be considered a baby step to customizing and is a safe way to go.
My biggest gripe with a lot of the cooked roms, especially ones based on the HTC factory build is that they are not oiptimized for the tilt and have superflous features that I don't need/want.
Just my 2 pennies.
Maybe we need a upgrade guide like MrVanx made for the hermes.

How does the cube work on Gullum's ROM...I have no complaints with Dutty's TouchFLO Tilt BETA
I do not think Gullum includes the cube. Maybe someone that actually runs it can chime in.

Should I keep the AT&T Tilt ROM or try the HTC (or some other) ROM?

Hello all -
I am getting my Tilt from AT&T tomorrow and I've been reading like crazy on this forum + wiki in preparation of getting it. Thanks to everyone who has contributed - awesome resource!
I understand the idea of flashing ROMS, unlocking, and general tweaking - I massively hacking/tweak my Tivo, etc. and I'm pretty sure I can get through it. But, I still have one question:
What, exactly, is the advantage of the HTC rom over the AT&T Tilt rom? I have never see the HTC rom but it looks like I can avoid the bloatware and add/tweak to my Tilt to make it similar to the HTC.
So, what exactly is on (or not on) the HTC rom that makes everyone want to switch away from the Tilt rom? What does the HTC rom have that the AT&T rom can't have???
Also: I have noticed some posts about battery life being different with different roms. I assumed that battery life would result from the way the varoius settings/options are set, but maybe I am not getting this.
I have read around on the forum quite a bit and I am understanding most of the nitty gritty details about these issues, but I'm a little unclear on what the problem is with the AT&T rom in the first place!
Any advice apreciated!! thanks - Dave
I get my Tilt Tuesday and am wondering what the "bottom line" is on this as well. It seems by removing bloatware, and installing a few cabs, you pretty much get a Kaiser. Speed and battery life are concerns for me though and if either is poor, I'm pretty comfortable installing a ROM (did it previously on my Wizard). Thanks to all for all the good info and advice. I've read way too much considering I don't even have the phone yet.
Hopefully we'll get an answer. On another forum I've read that you can install cabs to make the Tilt like the HTC, but on another thread I read that the HTC rom is different and better!
I'm not seeing any major disadvantages from using the HTC rom, actually, besides the menu problems which evidently have a fix. So, it might be worth a shot.
advantages

custom roms base on htc releases have many advantages:
1- get rid of all junk and restrictions of at&t one
2- reg hacks and fixes that take the most out of your phone
3- many more advantages but if numbered here will take me all night
search in these forum and you get many other reasons to change. For example i bought the tilt and in the same day i unlock it due a hardspl and change the rom to a custom one and beleive i will never come back to at&t stock rom.
I was in your guys shoes too. I read a ton on this forum before I got the phone. Here is my advice having had 2 Tilts, first one I had for a week, then returned it till I got a better deal.
When you first start the phone you go through a quick WM6 setup. After that it will say "Customizing Device" and there will be a progress bar. When this starts reset the phone with the stylus into the small hole at the bottom. That will prevent a lot of the ATT bloatware from loading.
Try that for a week, and if it isn't broke then don't fix it.
That said, there are a lot of HTC apps I love. Keep in mind you don't need a new rom to install them.
I would only try new ROMs if one or more of the following apply:
1) You are having some issues with stability or speed.
2) You need more space on the main memory.
3) You are lazy and want to try some other premade package.
Basically all the roms I tried are not that different then the stock ATT rom without the "Customizations" bloatware install. Plus you can get the phone to the exact same level by installing apps and doing small tweaks. Its not night and day or anything dramatic. However its fun to try new things and tweak the phone, thats one of the reasons I got it.
Here are my Must Have applications.

Pops, thanks for your informative reply. Is there really ANYTHING that the HTC rom can do that couldn't be somehow configured into the AT&T rom? I don't really mind flashing to a new rom but if I can start with the Tilt rom and configure everything I need (even if it takes a while ) that might be fine.
Am I correct in understanding that TouchFlo can work just fine on the AT&T rom? There are mixed messages about that.
Also, does any of this have anything to do with battery life??
thanks!
It all comes down to preferrences. I have a Tilt, and I have installed just about every ROM available here. I keep going back to HTC oriented ROMS, but there is some drawback in that you have to "tweak" it a bit usually to get full AT&T usability. AT&T ROMS are good for staying "true" to the carrier's mindset, but usually are buggy or slower. Dutty's right now is my fav, but that could change
Battery life is best controlled with 2 applications, both the Kaiser Tweak program, and with a good comm manager program to disable comm when not in use. Or at least move between 2G and 3G connections. 3G is awesome fast, but a hugh battery drain.
Thanks for your input! I played with a Tllt for a while and the AT&T rom might have been slower (I don't know cause I've never seen the HTC!) but it was totally stable as far as I could tell. Is there some specific bugginess that you saw or are you just referring to the general sloppiness of the AT&T bundles, etc.?

No, there is nothing you cannot do with the AT&T rom given enough time and tweaking. Before I got my phone I some how got the impression ROMs where almost like a different animal. I think a better analogy would be comparing them to a house with furniture. The different ROMs are just different styles.
But if you are a real power user, and it sounds like you are, I would just use another ROM and start from there. You will save some time. I'm a fan of the "clean" ROMs that some with almost nothing installed. Then I build them up from there. They are very easy to install if you read the instructions. And it only takes like 10-15 mins max.
Pops - That last comment was interesting. I can totally see the advantage of installing a lite rom or for that matter, a fully loaded Dutty's rom, etc. My concern was that if I did that, I'd actually wind up having to tweak for a while to get things smooth on the Tilt since I wouldn't be using the 'stock' rom. The assumption is the everything would work on day 1 with the stock rom, so I can tweak but I never have to really get things going.
In your experience, if I installed the most recent version of Dutty's Hybrid Kaiser TouchFlo Final (if I'm gonna flash the rom, I might as well load it up) that things would be about as stable/easy as if I spent time customized the AT&T rom?
If there's not too much risk or BS I might just go for it! There is something about keeping the original rom that makes me feel more confident, but it's also fun to tweak on the thing!
Well there are two types of Kaisers right now. The original HTC branded one and the Tilt. They are different in 2 ways. For the Tilt, some roms require you to install a keyboard fix for a minor adjustment. Also you have to configure the AT&T internet settings. It depends on the ROM. Some of the ROMs are already designed for the Tilt.
To answer your question, yes some of these ROMs can have you up and running without any tweaking or adjustments at all. Just read their instructions, it varies for each one.
For me, if I start with a stripped down ROM it takes me about 2 hours or more to install all of my apps and tweaks. For the fully featured ROMs like Dutty's, you can be ready to go in 20-30mins.
I installed the HTC stock ROM on my Tilt for the same reason I install reference drivers for my video card:
1. They are more true to the manufacturer's specifications.
2. There are more frequent and faster updates available.
Number 2 was the most important for me, even though HTC has not released an updated ROM yet...but when they do, I know that I can install it and it will be closer to what I have been using.
I had the Tilt ROM installed for a few weeks before I reverted to the HTC ROM. I also installed the HTC customizations on the Tilt ROM and played with that for a while. I noticed slight differences between the applications like the HTC Home application UI behavour has minor differences. There was also more available memory on the HTC ROM from the Tilt ROM even after I cancelled the Tilt customizations from installing.
Oh here is a neat program to help you test different ROMs without losing your contacts, SMS, call history etc.
PIM Backup
Have to throw my 2 cents in also.
Just got the Tilt last month,and after my initial fear of flashing(and succesfully installing HARDSPL) I've flashed lots of these ROM's too. I however, have to agree with Pops_G, the best solution I've found has been a "clean ROM" and customize it the way I want. I prefer the ATT versions over the monochrome/big clock/UGLY UI that the Kaiser ones have. I've been using Kyphur's Tilt XDA-Live v1.1 and love it. It provides the most storage of ANY of the custom ROMs and has the newest radio also. It shows a significant difference in my area;where the signal borders on weak.

Ok, these kinds of opinions and comments are really helping out. I think I'm gonna do this:
1) When the Tilt comes (today!) I'll play with the AT&T stock ROM for a while and get a feel for it.
2) Then, I'm going to flash Dutty's ROM - it has just about everything and it will give me a chance to look at everything from the Cube to the HTC apps and everything else. In general, I like to strip things out of my systems rather than bloat it out, but this sounds like an easy way to check it all out in one go.
3) Most likely I'll be want to install Tilt XDA Lite once I've had a chance to fool around with the others. With a clean start like that I can install the apps I want and get the thing fast/stable for good.
Sounds like fun! Here I go..

Give yourself some time with each Rom (a few days) to really get a feel for it. Also know that your battery is going to be crap for a couple of weeks until it is properly "conditioned" so don't even include that in your comparison.
Another thing you need to consider what are you looking to gain from using a cooked rom? While it can be nice to have a lot of apps mixed in once there is a new version of an app you have to either flash an updated rom or install the update over the cooked version in which case you are now losing memory as the files in the rom can't really be deleted (only marked as such)...
kypher: Thanks for your input. I am interest in your comment about having apps in the rom, space, etc.
Am I understanding that when there are apps built into the rom, those apps can't really be updated/upgraded/(deleted?) without reflashing the rom?
So, with a stripped down rom could a user install the various apps and have the ability to upgrade/uninstall/delete those apps whenever they wanted to?
That seems like a major advantage to using a lite rom then building it up on your own, which is looking more and more like the way to go! Any clarification appreciated.

Technically you can update (or even delete) the apps that are cooked in BUT... you've already paid in storage space for the files. When you upgrade the cooked files are marked as deleted so the files from the cab can overwrite them BUT... the files can't actually be deleted so if you have a 4MB program (like MS Voice Command) cooked in and you get an upgrade then you are actually paying 8MB of storage for the program now.
In short, even though the files are marked as deleted and you phone acts like they are deleted, you can't recover the memory they used if the files are cooked into the Rom. This is the primary reason I'm stripping XDA Live down as close to the undershorts as I can.
Well, the phone came this afternoon and I've been fooling around with it ever since. So far, so good!
I like the AT&T Tilt setup a lot. But, being a long-time geek I just couldn't resist and now I'm flashing Dutty's Tilt Rom. I'll play with that for a while, then maybe think about a long-term setup. It's kind of nice being able to flash the rom as I don't have to worry too much about screwing up the configuration since I can reflash at any time.
much fun! thanks everyone
I would like to try different ROMs as well, but I would like to be able to go back to ATT Tilt ROM if need be. How can I backup my original ATT ROM, so that I can flash back to it, if I needed to?

Is it really worth changing the Rom on a Tmobile Vario III UK?

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.

Windows Mobile 6.1 update for Vario 3 UK?

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:

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?
