Well, it looks to be official, HTC is rolling out WM6 upgrades for some of their devices (as we all may have heard). Here are the current devices that are initially planned:
HTC Advantage
HTC TyTN
HTC S620
HTC P4350
HTC P3300
http://www.solopalmari.com/images/stories/007/04/WM6_statement_.pdf
But, there is somewhat of a silver lining. If you read the .pdf in the link, it may not be limited to just those phones. There will be no upgrade fees for the carriers, so it's up to the carriers discretion to release the upgrade for whatever devices they deem "worthy". I would think the best way to go about getting it released for the Wizard would be to contact your carriers and request it. If they get enough requests, I can guarantee they'll make that upgrade available.
Despite having some great releases from some great chefs, it would make cooking that much better with an official OS release.
At any rate, CALL YOUR CARRIERS!!

I hoped to get a more special answer. When you take a datasheet of both - it is the same. Just the camera and teh thicknes. So what is really different. And if people can crossover a hermes rom to wizard it must be possible to crossover a herald to wizard. becuse it is same function than wizard.
So what is the difference?

That's news to me. Who's been able to port WM6 from a Hermes over to the Wizard?

All WM6 for wizards are based on a hermes AM6 and mixed up with wizard stuff - mun does it for his base rom. MAny people now are developing this mun rom.

Well, sounds like I've been away from the Wizard forums for too long . I didn't know that mun's was pulled from a Hermes. Very interesting.

"New OS build contains not whole files from tytn's rom, but more of them.
As i said before: camera is oem application and couldn't work on wizard. And i rebuild some modules from tytn's rom by myself to force it to work.
Im going to finish my tests of that rom, but i can say now that it has very good perfomance. It works like a charm.
Btw, it is unique rom. All roms that contains os 5.2.968 and the same build or rom version, will have my rom as base rom. So I am the first man who made t"

O2 UK says no...
Here is the response I received from O2 Data Support when I referred them to the announcement from HTC:

Good Morning Terry
Thank you for your email
I am not aware at present of any Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade options being made available for our XDA devices including the XDa Mini S in the very near future. Historically speaking O2 has only provided ROM upgrades on the existing OS and has never provided OS upgrades on any of the XDA devices. Please monitor the website link attached below for future upgrades.

That's not true my friend... The Faria ROM is a REAL Wizard WM6 ROM, trust me! Was not ported!

Maybe. But all based on mun are not real WM6 - and perhaps i´m one of the "I don´t believe someone´s telling until i see"-people. But Faria mention a lot what he knows and what will come.
We will see.

Just stop it here - ok. Some people prefere that some that. OK? But I think there are so many discussion meanwhile about what is written and what not - that it is obviously that time goes on?!
hey
how about, everybody on here gets together and 'badgers' or (requests, to put it nicely! ) a specific operator for the rom update?
rather than 10 people each asking 10 diff operators, lets just get together and ask one, would be more likely, and either way, once we have one official update in our hands, thats all we need really!
how bout it then chaps?!(and chap-esses)

That seems like a good plan to me. What operator did you have in mind? We should probably pick one that has traditionally been more open to upgrades in the past. That would definitely rule out Cingular/ATT here in the US.
Also, papamopps, give Dr. P. some respect and credit on the issue of what OS is based on what device. If anyone would know, he would.

I don´t wanted to blame anyone - espacially no Dr. P - I know he is a guru.
I only have some little problems with Faria´s behavio the last time. And i´m not alone with this.
Btw they´re doing great WORK and we all need it. Thanks to any Rom-cooker.

No offense was taken by me. As for Faria, yes he can be a little *****y, most genius's are.. Please realize though that he DOES "butter our bread", along with others. And he DOES endure a lot of nonsense and crap. Myself, I wouldn't have come back after some of crap that he (and me in a VERY small way) have taken here.....
Now, back to the OP! I doubt that Cingular is going to be of any help, morons... I WILL say that I've seen more come from T-Mobile regarding official updates with the Wizard (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
I would vote for T-Mobile too. O2 suck for updates.
Hi Tornadians how u doing,
by now we have found multiple Rom of WM6 by our Expert Users
Lets Rate Which one is bug free and very very stable.
let us know your Experience
Dude, it's Microsoft Windows. Any version is neither stable nor bug free!!!
i m either Apple Certified Technician and use to work on Mac Platform but unfortunately bought Tornado i am happy with tornado but not with Windows and i m keep updating it. so i can solve it.
i put my problem in other thread "WM6 SCREEN GOES OFF IN 5 SEC"
please senior member solve this issue
WM6 For Tornado - HTC Edition
Why don't you start a Poll !
My vote goes to NiTroGen's greek ROM...
The best out there is:
WM6 English 5.2.1616.18120 by NiTroGen.
It has the new build on and interesting features from andot's ROM.
Andot's ROM is very unstable.
Everybody seems to have their own opinion. No consensus yet!
My vote goes to HTC Edition.
Been using it for weeks (Ver. 1, did most of the tweaks manually that are in the 2nd ed.) and it's been very stable and I don't think I've found any bugs or glitches.
Phil's beta would come 2nd on my list, however it's way behind HTC Edition by now.
anyone wants to create a poll for this? so no one is gonna keep asking which rom is more stable or better?
to all the cookers, makerz or editorz, all of you have done a great job !
Poll would be pointless since it needed redoing everytime a rom get's updated.
But what'd be nice is a sticky with a comparison chart, moderated by a forums moderator. So the creators could just send the essential info regarding their latest release so the mod can update the chart.
WM6 ROM cooking is not a competition. There is no "best" ROM atm and there will never be. Each ROM has its own characteristics and suits to different people and needs!
IMHO, there should be a cooperation of all cookers (or non-cookers), so we'll finally have the best WM6 ROM available for our phone; the WM6 for Tornado XDA-developers Edition.
So, how about closing this thread and starting a new one with hints/instructions on adding new features to our ROMs, fixing existing bugs , customizing and cooking our own ROMs? How about a Pimp My WM6 ROM discussion?

i agree with your point mate!
Well, at least now what we can do is to improve each other's ROM, since all of us are from different time zone
@Nitro just wanted to say that i never used the word "best" lol, i used better! i agree with you though, about you cookers working together to create perfect rom!
Well how about an informative post for the ROMS.
Maybe ROM listing then all bugs and what works what doesnt so then the cookers can take parts of each others roms tto make the perfect ROM ?
Just an idea

Agreed, I am running this one and am very pleased. Been 3 weeks now.
Now I've just flashed EA's ROM (same build as NiTroGen's one) .
It has a lot of new options in Settings (. Just the Start Menu options (from NiTroGen and andot's ROMs ) is missing.
It has 19.64MB free storage space after the first reboot. But it does not have bundled some useful apps such as: LowLight, WM5torage..
Ah, and EA's one doesn't have Wireless Manager in the QuickList . I personally like Wireless Manager.

So for people currently running Andots rom would you say its worth the swith over to this rom ?
What is noticable different ?
Does the Media playser still work perfect like andots ?
Maybe I missed it... but where is the Pharos on xda?
Yes.. where?
NO SUPPORT FOR THIS NEW HTC PRODUCT?
I would like to know too!

p3470 ROM
Hope to hear from you soon
It seems that we are very few forum members that we have HTC P3470.
I also like to see a new ROM or even bettera cooked ROM. Of course with the CID Unlock utility.
Some place someone stated that the ELFIN Roms are suitable for the P3470.
Does anyone have an experience with this? It seems starnge since the P3470
does not have Wi-Fi.
i need too p3470 ROM english or romanian version.
Highlights
Texas Instrument OMAP 200Mhz CPU
128MB (user) RAM
2.8” QVGA Display
Bluetooth 2.0
Integrated GPS
2.5G (to be verified)
No Wi-fi (to be verified)
If someone wants to send me one I'll tear it apart. However, this phone is not one I will be purchasing myself. It seems like the Stepchild phone of HTCs Linup. Also, Its not even released in the US. That I saw.
I hope XDA can hold a forum sections for Pharos
Still, I would like to know if there are any plans to create a Pahros section? Personally I think it is a good thing to have a complete line-up.
the Pharos has the same chipset as the elfin... but still i wouldnt trust the Elfin roms on my p3470 as there are some differences... like no wifi (who would use that anyway) and no 3g (most 3g connections in holland are capped to 2 times isdn )
the pharos is sleek and practical better looking than the elfin and many others (even better looking than the cruise...which has a redundant triangle thingy hanging under it) only the diamond has better design imho
comon with the subforum pls!
Guys,
I've always had HTC phones, since the original XDA - back in those days there were perhaps only 3/4 cooked roms available and so the choice was fairly simple.
I'm looking to flash my Kaiser with a rom that's speedy, feature packed and has something particularly snazzy about it!! I've had a look at Roms available...and there's about 40!!!!!
What I'm looking for is an unbiased view from someone that has tried a number of roms and can recommend a rom that's a significant improvement over the standard Vodafone WM6.1 rom!
Please, who'll be my saviour!!!
Cheers, Ash
I am in the same boat with you!
I am currently using and liking HyperDragon III Jade OS 5.2.19974 Build 19974.1.2.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121)
I was stuck on PDACorner's series for awhile, as well as NATF, but it seems that the newer releases from them are unstable on my phone, in my location.
There is always something that will shine in this ROM and will not exist in that ROM. (Unless you cook up one for yourself - I haven't ventured there yet)
Well I'm gonna go flash today's ROM Your saviour I am not, just adding my $0.02.
ok....here's my non-biased opinion...
but but before that i'd like to tell u that this thread might be closed by the end of my post here...since a mod will tell u that every person has his/her own taste in regards to what rom is best...
now my opinion....
u have to know that we are living in the kaiser manilla craze right now....if u dont know manilla is a new today screen interface which is pretty much eye candy only in my opinion....
if you want a good wm6.1 rom (without manilla)...u can try the new garmin DK6 rom....but since that rom is still new and might have sum bugs...i suggest u search for garmin DK3 series which comes in 1-naked 2-light 3-full versions...just to get a feel of what his roms are about...
garmin's roms are one of (if not) the best wm6.1 roms for kaiser and are 99.5% bug free...
thats my 2 cents
note: im sure u know this already but please dont forget to either CID unlock or flash hard-spl before flashing these roms!!!

Thanks guys for your feedback so far - this thread definitely shouldn't be closed, a forum is for discussion about personal views, thats what we're doing!
I'll have a check of the Garmin roms then, sounds interesting - let me know how you guys get on flashing (LOL) - anyone else?
Garmins new DK6 is out and is very fast u must try it, his roms are simply great as are many chefs but his seam to be the smoothest
Hey there,
originally i was running T-mobiles wm6.0.
From there i have moved straight to:
[3 November 08] HyperDragon Jade OS 5.2.19974 Build 19974.1.2.8
which, in my oppinion, is a lot smoother and adds a lot more usability to the phone (E.g, i never had voice command on 6.0, Manilla didnt work as it should, skipping to a certain letter in your contacts list is now easier due to an iphone-esque side menu etc.)
Ok, so manilla is eye candy, may negate some of the tweaks and updates done for speed increase, but at the end of the day, over a standard ROM, its still faster.
The only issue(s) i can say i have had is that the touch screen seems a lot less responsive, and the speed gains were only really noticable when i used Kaisertweak and changed all the caches to as large as they would go, but it is still a very good and stable build IMO. Oh, and manilla doesnt support landscape view (although all other normal elements such as texting, contacts etc do)
I'm probably going to update within the next few days, there is a manilla update in the latest one (oooo) but that can wait a little bit i guess.
just my £0.02
i get kind of nervous with cooked roms... had a few bad experiences where i'd be hard=resetting and rebuilding 2 or 3 times in a day.
i put in the latest WM6.1 ROM posted here... had a few issues that needed to be resolved, but otherwise am very happy with it.
True to Form:
Best is very Subjective and it is impossible to have an "unbiased" opinion. Everyone has their own favorite.
Thread Closed pursuant with the guidelines set forth in the Kaiser Section Announcement and the Forum Policies.
Hi,
I bought a Russian HTC diamond thinking that I would be able to flash it with a WWE rom, but as detailed in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402740
nobody seems to be able to get it working.
I notice that some people have WWE diamonds and are wanting to try and get Russian roms onto them but are having similar problems.
Therefore I wondered if anybody would consider doing direct trade of a Russian one for a WWE one.
Cheers
Andrew
