Hi,
I'm new to this but after much reading (then some finger crossing) I flashed my ROM and got Dutty's New Years edition v3 Final. I loved it!! (THANKS!)
And this could be feedback on bugs within the Duttys Final v3 but I don't think it's his ROM, I think its me. I'm having two problems since the change:
1. Can't get gmail. While my Messaging Email initially worked fine after Dutty's v3 install this has recently changed. Now my gmail accounts don't work.. one started working again briefly but stopped, when I click Send/Receive it says Dialed: isp.cingular Cannot connect for unknown reason - should I change this to wap.cingular? I am using the right radio, the default one for Tilt / the dutty's v3.
2. Slower, laggy response: After installing the new ROM I downloaded a lot of programs I use frequently - SPB pocket plus, intent midlet manager, SPB Diary, google maps, Phat Notes, Opera, SuperDoku, Brain Evolution, ListPro, SK Tools, etc.. I installed the ones I could on the storage card. Unfortunately I'm having some problems with slowness, programs crashing.. Did I add too many programs and bog it down? (all the mentioned programs are in storage memory) Or is there a conflict with one of the programs I added? Would it help to use one of the LITE roms as there are a lot of programs I don't use that are on the Duttys NewYr v3FINAL? i.e. Total Commander - I can't find a lot of them to uninstall because when I do "Remove Programs" it just shows the Storage Card programs.
Thanks for yr help and opinions,

LOL @ Hexane.
It's very simple for your gmail to be fixed. Have you tried installing any network configuration cabs that are floating around everywhere on this forum.
You can also change it manually by going to Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit (MY ISP) > Edit > Next > change isp.cingular to wap.cingular > Next > Change [email protected] to [email protected] - Hit Finish and you should be good to go. Or you can just install the cab below.
For the second part of your question. I would re-flash the ROM you want and then read the instructions in my signature "Thing to do Before and After Flash to a ROM" on how to do a hard reset on your phone just after you flash. I guarantee this will fix your slow / laggy response on your phone.
Dutty's V4 is BLAZINGLY fast!!!
I strongly suggest it.

yea i will suggest it 2 it fast and clean although some things still dont work on it like office and gps.
Thank you alltheway!
I downloaded your cab (didn't install it yet as email mysteriously started working again) and read your "Things to Do" post (and bookmarked it for next ROM).
Very tempted to try Duttys V4 now but will hold off, afraid of the office/gps not working.. I use gps with google maps a LOT at work.. maybe wait for another version. Not brave enough to be a beta tester at my super newbie stage
gmail
panosha no disrespect to you cause i have not used your rom but i have sticked to dutties since my hermes...but i have gmail i my primary email and it works with all the roms i have tried........you just have to take away your proxy thing......dont know how to explain it put when i have it on nothing work........when i take it off it all works...........settings.. connectings...connetings.....manage existing connections............proxy settings.......uncheck (this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet).....and your golden.....never did wrong with me!!!............hope it helps!!!!!!!

Absolutely no issue here running GPS with Google Maps. Works flawlessly with 3 different radios. 1.27.12.11, 1.27.12.32, 1.27.15.32
No issues. As far as the MS Office. Unless you are creating new document you should have any issues. There is also a fix for this already. If you read Dutty's thread in the second post Rzanology has posted where the fix is.
You should flash to dutty's ROM!
Is there a speed benefit when you cook in a program when compared to installing it manually?
ie is the kaiser faster, does the program run faster?
Hey guys,
I am trying my best not to upgrade to WM6.1 on my SP5..
I love my phone with its factory OS.. Though i am curious to what i am missing out on by staying with WM5.
Can someone give me some advantages of WM6.1 over WM5?
And if i was to upgrade.. Do any of these cooked up versions just install and run without any further tweaking?
Thanks for your input
Hi there,
Please proceed to my blog for step by step instruction
http://karhoe.net/htctornado
Why upgrade to WM6.1?
1) Faster
2) Alot of useless stuff removed
3) Running Net compact framework 2.0/3.5
4) More functions
5) GUI improved
6) Windows Mobile (old one) removed savings extra 4-5MB, so now you can install the latest Windows Live Mobile which has more features as well
7) and many more....
Just go to my blog, follow the steps precisely, and it will work flawlessly.
wow you have me convinced
thanks very much.. especially like the fact you have the same phone as me too!
oh hang on..
the upgrade will work flawlessy? or the OS will?
like Wifi, bluetooth etc all ok?
Everything is perfect, WiFi, BT, etc
But there are some minor bugs, which won't really affect you, you have to check the thread of the cooked ROM.
I suggest this ROM, and the thread is here

I'd upgrade cause it's way faster in accessing applications and loading them, and i like that new sliding homepage
wm6 windows live
Hi
I cannot get any version of wm live to run on your rom Karhoe (wm6.1 platinum). Tried the one on your website too. HELP!
Regards
whats threaded messaging?
Means SMS is like chatting style
well i did the upgrade about a month ago..
i love the sliding panel theme.. though i cant handle the issue with syncing on 2 PCs not working and the issue with dismissing reminders..
I think im going back to the original ROM.
Or would i have more luck with WM6.0?
Karhoe can you recommend a WM6.0 rom and/or a better WM5 ROM than the original i-mate one?
I take it since my phone is now supercid i can just flash away as normal without bothering with formatting the BINFS?
Thanks again for your help.
this one is perfect

but only 6.0
just try... nothing to lose...
thanx redred will take look
hmm... got the same problem with dismissing reminders not working with that ROM too..
Reminder comes up.. hit dismiss.. reminds again and again until its actually past the time of the appointment..
sigh.. looks like its back to WM5...
strange...
i'm using appointments 3~4 times in week and everything works ok

It looks like you need to purge outlook on your PC mate. You must have multiple entries for same apointment. I've had a similar problem every now and then, where Outlook fails or I did a Sync on another pc, and when back to main PC, it screws up outlook. Have had to go and view all apointments, birthdays, etc and clean it up manually.
Also, review how you have your settings, ie "Show 2 weeks" if more than that and you have lots of apointments, it'll go crazy on u.
I've used Nitros Platinum Rom for ever and it works great. Am using now SGreg's Rose Rom, also working good(but w/o the extras on Nitros).
Good Luck!
how much better than 6.0
I flashed up to 6.0 when I first got my 2125, am running WM6 standard CE OS 5.2.1616 build 18120.0.4.0, radio 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 RIL 2.002.
I am relatively happy with speed, and all the apps I installed, etc. I am thrilled with the stability and versatility (phone is also my mp3 and movie player, camera, video recorder, messaging system, etc.).
I have heard rumors that the 6.1 ROM drains the battery faster. True?
I have heard rumors that some bluetooth stuff is not as stable?
The reasons I might upgrade include the fact that some software I put on the phone did not completely uninstall and the ROM I am running has very many features I do not want or use and they clutter up everything .
What is the consensus? Is it worth flashing up again?
looks like it was the time sync from network causing the issue.. turned it off now they dismiss without issue!
also i kinda like 6.0 more than 6.1 didnt like the threaded msging and the way you compose in 6.1
the only way I see 6.1 draining the battery faster than 6 on my phone is that 6.1's Media Player doesn't turn off the screen light while playing music. Other than that, I haven't noticed a battery drain.
flashing up to 6.1 from 6.0
Thanks. Which 6.1 "clean" distro should I use? I have collected the .CABs and don't mind re-layering all the apps I use. I would also love to be able to completely uninstall Windows Media player since I run CORE (TCPMP).

you will lose all of the data that is stored on the phone itself, what is stored on the memory card will not be erased.
As for the programs you will have to reinstall them and co pilot remember to deactivate this etc before upgrading all in the page when you download the rom from o2.
Also it is a rom update, from 6.0 to 6.1, the improvements are minimal apart from the speed improvements which should make it worth it for you to do if you want to spend the time reconfiguring it that is.
Hope that helps
You should NOT upgrade.
I did, and now I have only problems which I didn't have while on 6.0. You can find my posts in this forum.
On the other hand, if you have problems now, try upgrading.
But upgrade was, IMHO, my worst mistake.
yeh but the difference is that your upgrade is the htc leaked rom that appeared on here??? htc still havent realeased the full 6.1 upgrade for the polaris, if they have then it slipped by me.
The one the person is talking about is the o2 6.1 upgrade which i have been running for the last month and had no problems...yet but thats the same with anything it can always happen.

There are a couple of advantages to updating. You can easily google or wikipedia for details on how WM6.1 has changed. What's not mentioned is the compatibility you get with the newer HTC software. What I did was install the new rom, delete Opera 8.65, and install the Opera 9.5, the new HTC Album, new HTC Audio Manager, and new HTC Youtube app. Its like I have a new phone! But w/o many of the instabilities and bugs that cooked ROMS offer. Furthermore, it definitely cured my Xperia upgrade desires.
Worth noting is that yes, you will lose all information on the phone. So either move stuff to your storage card, or back it up on the PC. (Both of which you should be doing anyhow). Old text messages, and call history can be backed-up and recovered using the Sprite Backup that was included on your original CDs. In fact, I highly suggest making a complete backup using Sprite so that you can easily revert to your old ROM and restore your previous files/settings w/o any hassle if you have any issues with WM6.1.
Known Bugs for the official WM6.1:
-Touch scrolling doesn't work well in the Programs Folder accessed from HTC Home
-The music tab in HTC Home cannot be enabled by registry edits
Solution:
-Use either the Start Menu Programs folder or replace the Programs Folder with something like TouchLaunch
-Either don't use the Music Tab a la original configuration or install the latest copy of HTC Home by Schen w/o the brightness fix
I wish I had never upgraded to WM 6.1, with WM 6.0 my Orbit 2 worked perfectly well, never froze and Bluetooth worked with my Parrot hands free even to the point that the CoPilot voice came out of the speakers. Since upgrading I have experienced a number of freezes, the Bluetooth connects when it wants to and even when connected half the time it will not transfer a call, sometimes placing a call 5 minutes after it was dialled. I have been looking for an official O2 WM 6.0 ROM to downgrade to see if that cures the problems because I cant see any improvement in speed and most of the other "features" of 6.1 are of no real use, the threaded SMS being one I find most annoying.
@ chris10230
My signature says "Official" WWE ROM. Yea, from HTC site, when it went public! So no beta or leaked. You must have missed us yelling "New ROM is out". But that's no big deal.
@ Mace
Downgrading to WWE 6.0 did not solve same problems as your's that I (still) have. So I think we're stuck. Hopefully something will go seriously wrong with my Polaris, so I'll replace it while still under guarantee...
@ both of you, find more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411883. Please read posts from page 13... posts prior to that are just guessing or talking about problems with download/validation of device serial number...

I had upgraded to 6.1 official and also various cooked. but nothing beats 6.0 - I have 62MB free memory even after installing all my required prog's have even got SPB shell and Greatbal's manila theme - best of all world's
Am now on Panosha's Butterfly and enjoying the peace, tranquility
6.1 - give's you memory leak's, battery drain and most important eats most of the available memory due to all the new features like M2D, M3d, 3d Drivers etc...
Now if only I could figure out if Manila is installable on v6 then I have everything I need !
After Installing one NRG's Energy roms I was happy as hell. There was minor problems which I was able to resolve but one Windows Marketplace. Today I made the effort to solve this too and I did and I'm passing the information on to everyone else that has this same problem so enjoy the marketplace in two minutes from now.
Source- http://www.dasmirnov.net/blog/windows-mobile-marketplace-on-a-cooked-custom-rom
"Well the Diamond was running a stock ROM, on my phone however typically I flash a custom ROM after a while. With this ROM the Marketplace application would simply fail when checking for updates, stating it was unable to connect with an error something like this:
Marketplace could not connect to the server. Please check your connection and try again.
One of the checks the Marketplace application seems to make us having a look at your version information. A lot of custom ROMs put thier own string in, which seems to be upsetting it. To check, open up your favourite registry editor and make your way to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Versions and change Aku to .5.3.00
And then soft reset and give it a go.
I applied these setting, reset and hello Marketplace.
ON my Rom the AKu was set to NRG, I changed it to .5.3.00 reset and now life is complete.
Mine works
Hi all
I've just opened WM Market place and was notified of an update to MySpace App. It's installing now. The AKU version in the Registry is
5.0.82, which I believe is correct as per the WM build.
Many thanks

Looks like there was some kind of update to the Windows Marketplace app and it tried to download it but it keeps failing. I did the registry update previously and WM Marketplace was working fine until this update. Is there some other changes that need to be made?
Thanks.
Has anyone been able to use Windows Marketplace today on a flashed ROM?
this rom is totally bogus. phone locks when i scroll to setings, cant even find the "all settings" anymore. the all programs are completely lame and all you can do is to take a program you use alot is "move to top" THATS IT?!?!? puhleese. I get cprog.exe errors while sending text messages.
is there a decent rom out there?
I've been using NRGZ28's EnergyROM for a week or so and haven't had any issues. Check it out here...http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489
This ROM changed my perception of what my phone should have been like all along.
Cheers and good luck!
I prefer 6.1. I just started getting some kitchens and building my own since no one really does 6.1 anymore.
I'm back to 6.1 as well. I flashed the stock 6.1 ROM back on it and then I missed the weather not updating and showing up in the clock.
I now have the best of both worlds:
Scosler's Sprint Basics 1.2 has WM6.1 plus the Manila Sense 2.1 .
