i will make the jump... hope this sh!t works... lol
i have taken quite a break lately, glad to see the sms/mms account problem has been solved, hopefully the palm threaded app will work right!

this rom worked a lot better for me than the HTC roms. THanks helmi_c

Wierd
as im downloading this att rom my anti-virus ( avast) say's there is a trojan virus in it. is this normal?

i was using the first cook room...but i decided to jump being that i have the tilt. i must say...this sht is fast as all hell...didnt think it could be any faster than before. one thing though....the app that scans business cards. Is it possiable to have that in a cab? thats the one thing i miss from the old rom. other than, this one feels like a winner.

Can i install this on my unbranded Kaiser ?
Well, i know i CAN, but should i ?
I noticed the OS is newer than helmi's kaiser 0.7.0, so i would like this one, if there are no problems...

thanks mc. this is another solid room.

i got a bug. while in messaging (email or text) i cannot see the pictures of the people who send the message. i can see just a little bit of it, but most of it is showing off the screen. almost as if i was using an app made for vga on a non vga device. anyone else notice this?
edit:
okay so when this happens....slide the keyboard out...then close it...and the message returns to its normal format with the pic fully viewable. any thoughts?

whoa....i just pushed the mail button on the front the phone reset itself...hmmmm

Helmi,
Any chance of you making a Dynamic + BigStorage ROM out of this?
I could install all the AT&T cabs I need, but then I also don't want PTT or HTC Task Manager... Plus, from your HTC ROMs with the same build and kernel, the Dynamic ones seem to be the most stable and quickest to me.
Thanks in advance and for what you've done up to now anyway. Really apreciate the work you put into this. Donation will soon follow (and that's not a bribe).

didn't experience this, tried to re-create by:
-hitting the mail soft key after boot from initial flash
-power-down/power-up then press mail key once today screen loads
-hard reset
-after today screen loads from reboot hit mail key
-power down/power up and then hit mail key
everytime the messaging applet open......
maybe i'm doing something wrong.
rom runs great and possibly even fixed a past issue....
i have an at&t tilt that i purchased from an at&t coporate store on the day of the US release.
i hard-spl'd the day hard-spl was released to shed that god awfull thinguhmabob at&t had on this phone that was more like TnT on Tilt.
proceeded to flash the htc ship rom and somewhere inbetween a pixel died right above the "m" in smart mobility.
the pavarotti pixel was evident on every subsequent boot as well as opening any non-white variant background page/app.
since flashing this rom that that dead pixel is johnny alive.
i know this rom fixed the dead pixel because after flashing every kaiser rom/cooked-rom on xda the dead pixel remained, um, well dead.
the the at&t rom to me felt more like a caveman trying to use a stick, on a rock, to draw a buffalo with some headless stick people dancing around doing the caveman robot.
i have experienced no issues yet but as with most self-reports, this is subjective.
Edit (oct-19-2007 1:34p cst):
after some 12 hours of use, the phone (or screen input), has become unresponsive similar to the at&t rom. unresponsive meaning; i am on the today screen and click start-settings. the transition to the settings menu is quick but once i arrive to the settings menu the screen freezes (or rather any stylus inputs are delayed by 2-3 seconds if even received). to me it seems like the device is polling something like the sd card or ptt (only roms i've experienced this on have been with ptt) but my gut could be off as i'm late for lunch and my gut is hungry.
having said this, this rom, for me, is somewhat un-usable. i have hard re-setted 3x now in attempt to correct said lag but lag wins. in between the 1st and 2nd hr's i loaded up pocket + 4.0, resco explorer 6.16, resco registry, resco ftp. did a hard reset once the device started to lag with said software installed. currently i have no apps installed and still experience extremem lag on just cooked-stock-default settings/apps. going back to htc ship.
-ds

I'm anxious to install this on my Tilt -
A couple of questions -
1) Which dialpad is it using? The same as on the original AT&T ROM, or the Eten dialer that has been packaged with the other Kaiser ROMs?
2) Any guess if TomTom 6.032 will work with this one (assuming I already had it working on my Tilt with a Kaiser ROM)?
3) Safe to assume that, since this a Tilt package, there's no need to install the keyboard remapping hack (or manually configure data connections)?
Also - I haven't seen any chatter about this in a (short) while - Do you notice any improvement on this ROM (or any other for that matter) with the tinny/distant sound of bluetooth headsets?
Thanks so much for your hard work on this!!!!!!!!!!
AMG

is this rom running significantly faster than the htc 070 rom? i mean is it worth it to jump ship again, and install everything again? or people just want this rom for the storage

i very highly doubt a signifgant change in speed because there is no signifigant change in the rom....it's probably a user opinion kind of thing....only way to prove is benchmark...but most likely nothing worth spending 1 hr of software setup blah blah

This Might Interest People - Especially ThingOnASpring!

This Might Interest People - Especially MY Dear Friend ThingOnASpring!​
I have been testing master Lt.Cmdr.Ivan latest ROM v3 for a long time, which is evident from my signature. The ROM is very stable!
When master ThingOnASpring came out with his latest ROM, I thought to give it a try. Especially, the ROM had build in HTC Home today plugin.
I found this ROM of master ThingOnASpring to be very unstable with lots of crashes and freeze ups. The freeze ups were like in olden days and when someone called, the Universal hanged up.
So, I went back to master Lt.Cmdr.Ivan ROM again. Since I like HTC Home today plugin, the first thing I did, was to install this plugin.
Guess What?
The ROM was not stable anymore!
It had lots of crashes and freeze ups. The freeze ups were like in olden days and when someone called, the Universal hanged up.
So, I did a hard reset and didn't install the HTC Home today plugin, the ROM is now working flawlessly and stable just like before!
Go figure!
KOR!

Thx,
Good to know, I'll cook the ROM without the HTC Home , which anyway I wanted to swap by rltoday!
Cheers

Depends which one you use, I suppose...
Ever since the homeplug came out I've been using it and I had some problems with the early versions. However I kept this version which seems to be stable it doesn't freeze the phone and works very well. The only problem I've found with it is that if you set the phone to vibrate using the homeplug it sometimes loses your default ringtone...
So give it a try and see what you think. You might need to have a look at Maimach's fix for the homeplug but as always once you do this it might affect the stability.

Dear wtpelzer,
Thanks a lot. Will surely give it a try. I did try master Maimach's fix for the HTC Home plugin.
I have already downloaded your plugin!
I see you are still using master N. N. Coung's ROM, like me. It is one of the greatest ROM!
Thanks again,

is anyone having crashing with incoming calls with the htc home plugin??? i have installed a number of versions but cannot seem to get any to work without crashing my uni when someone calls me!!

in my case, universal freezing upon receiving calls happens whatever HTC Home Today plugin version is installed.
i haven't found a solution yet other than uninstalling the HTC Home, but you can try a temporary solution: remove the SD card from the slot & i can now receive calls without freezing.
can anybody having the same freezing problem confirm this?

confirmed!!

hi drsqueggy,
do you mean confirmed that removing SD Card temporarily solved freezing problem?
i'm trying to figure out if its a registry hack related to SD (i.e. PIE cache to SD), the SD type & speed (tried MMC but freezes too), or what?
by the way my uni is a vodafone V1640.

I've tried the 2 SD drivers that come with the latest nncuong's rom, but the phone still froze intermitterntly on incoming calls (and keeps vibrating).
I won't uninstall htc home, coz i'm going to miss it.
Rant follows, please read it and check if you share my views about the question: -----------------
I'm beginning to think the Universal is flawed inside in its hardware, and nothing can be done for it.
With the universal, we have a slower WM6 than the competition, and a load of bugs that are still there from the veyr beginning. My Uni already froze a lot of times without reason, for example when I closed TCPMP, or when I opened the control panel. It seems like old bugs sometimes resuscitate from the grave
I miss the ability of other phones (and other PDA's too) to wake up and starrt to ring INSTANTLY when a call comes in, and not after 2 or 3 seconds.
And also that pause when you answer a call, where the other end doesn't hear you but you can hear him, is very bugging.
Let's face it: the Uni is not well engineered, either, as there are some components in the system that act like bottlenecks. Sure, SKTools benchmark give the Uni its say, but the truth is not that. Try installing a CAB file on the Uni and the same cab file on an HTC Touch. Guess what, the touch does it in 1/4 the time of the Uni. And guess what, the Touch's processor is the old ****ty omap 850 (a seriously-underpowered 200 mhz processor!). How could this be possible???
But the worst part of the history, is that every rom released only adds its bugs to the pile. I think they (the cookers) should unite and make some serious information-sharing, trouble-shooting and rom-releasing work together.
Heck, admit it, every now & there a rom comes out that use a "new extraordinary revolutionary mega-fast driver", only to discover, days later, that this driver is only mega-unstable and that it had already been tried months before.
I didn't have all those problems with my old Tornado's WM6 hack... they (the cookers) released a WM6 rom, and it worked flawlessy at first chance, way better than the original WM5.

Suggested ROM & Updates? - T-Mobile SDA

I have a very standard T-mobile USA SDA running WM5. In addition to phone, I mostly use it for email, occasional browsing, maps using Pocket Streets and for music using the player. I am thinking about doing one of the ROM upgrades. Is WM6 or 6.1 worth the effort? I've heard that a few of the non-TMO OEM roms (like SP5m WM5) work well and they upgrade the radio -- which would probably be a good thing since my SDA has always been a little light on signal holding.
Anyway, any suggestions on what to are welcome. I've read Karhoe's guides so I think I can tackle all the techy stuff. I have a backup phone in case I royally screw up. My SDA is unlocked and ready to be violated.

Definatively worth it. I recommend the rickwyatt build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406716
The panel interface is beautiful and fast. Media Player is great from the home page.

Hey there, same phone and USA T-mobile service here.
You are in luck as rickwyat just gave us a final version of rom he worked on and I can say its great (awsome in US english)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406716
check Kar Hoe's "Upgrading HTC Tornado to Windows Mobile 6.1"
http://karhoe.net/content/view/21/1/
and ejoy,
wecome to xda forums btw

I did the RickWyatt ROM and found that it doesn't support voice tags. It is nice though. Regardless, I reflashed with the Nitro WM6 Platinum. That seems to have what I need. Now if I could just get my media player hard keys to work (I actually use them) as fwd, back & play/pause, that would be great.

I have a tmobile sda, upgraded to wm6 (don't remember which rom) and i love it. If you aren't afraid of flashing the ROm, totally go for it.
it fixed many things for me
1) date resetting when battery removed (although this is supposed due to the radio update, not wm6 itself)
2)I had the stuck in headset mode problem. wm6 fixed it for me (although others haven't been so lucky)
3) runs faster, smoother...
Oh, but there is one thing I miss from the tmobile rom, one of the standard ringtones I loved... but unfortunately it is not on wm6.... so, BACK UP THE RINGTONES if there are any you like.
-and- back up all your contacts with PPCPimbackup since one wrong move in MS outlook will delete all your contacts (i swear i had the right boxes checked but i still lost all my phone numbers )
RealSkier I was gonna ask if you could send me the ring tones from the original Tmobile sda rom.... but it looks like I am too late with this message and my advice haha
if anyone still has the ringtones from the original sda rom, please if you could get in contact with me. I miss one of them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you,

Why would you upgrade to WM6.1 from 5?

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

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

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...

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).

Argh! Warranty repair + Upgrade...

Hi all,
I sent my phone back to T-Mobile for a warranty repair because a couple of the keys stopped responding to key presses.
Got the phone back today repaired, they have replaced the keyboard. BUT they have also upgraded the firmware on the phone. Now it is WM6.1 and I am unable to restore my (a lot) applications etc from the 2gb backup file on my SD card.
It asks me for an upgrade file which I don't have. It performs the restore anyways but then the phone won't boot.
On performing a hard reset it comes back with WM6.1
I can't even cancel the damn T-Mobile customisations like I could in WM6 (by restarting the device before they install) now it just wipes the handheld again after boot and installs the T-Mobile crap again every time.
Please can someone help me restore my backup file? Where can I Get an upgrade file?
I found a guide here that I would have followed had I know they would upgrade my phone without my consent:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=329
Is anyone here still on WM6 (not 6.1) able to create an upgrade file for me and host it somewhere?
I know it's a massive ask but I would be forever greatful if someone could help me out with this.
Many Thanks,
Alex.

If you dont want the 6.1 i would check the wiki/search for the 6.0 rom that you had before you sent it in. The older rom should be avaliable somewhere.. You just have to look for it.

I say you send it back to T-Mobile and ask for a G1 instead

I've spoken to T-Mobile to see if they could change it back and they said there is nothing they can do.
Is there some way to save my current rom to my SD card so that I can go back to 6.0, create an upgrade file for sprite, come back to 6.1 and restore my backup using the upgrade file?
I don't know where I can find the original T-Mobile Rom though I've looked on the web and the T-Mobile site.
Sorry I'll admit that I'm a noob at this.

Is the backup just to save you re-installing programs, or is there data in the backup that isn't backed up somewhere else?
The only thing I would really "lose" on my phone are the contacts which come right back as soon as I set the phone up to sync with exchange again. If I wasn't using exchange I would have all my contacts backed up in Outlook on my PC.
Maybe you just need to re-install your programs again. WM 6.1 does have some nice enhancements over WM 6.0.

Nothing they can do vs they can't be bothered

Complain to them about much longer GPS lock times (assuming you have the option of installing Tomtom or similar on your phone). I had this problem with the official HTC WM 6.1 upgrade (see this *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread for more info) and the HTC Service centre reverted the ROM back to 6.0 for free under warranty so if T-Mobile say they cant get the HTC Technical Centre to do this for you, they're not trying hard enough - time to escallate it to the manager! There's no physical reason why they cant revert the ROM and they should have warned you that they would flash the ROM.

I will lose a lot of data that is not backed up anywhere else. One of the main things is my TomTom favourites, which is full of locations I would have to drive to to save again, and can't drive to without the favourites lol. Other than that it's a lot of apps and customisations like numerous SPB apps that have been tailored to my requirements over the last year.

ffs I hope that's not going to be the case, I use TomTom 6 on my phone ALL the time and I'll be REALLY annoyed if it's not going to perform as well at that. It's the main reason I went for this phone.
I think I will ask for the manager. The pleb I spoke to did even go and ask someone if there was anything they could do.

GPS was a big drawcard for me also and the difference between HTCs official WM 6.1 vs WM 6.0 ROMs is like night and day (6.1 being night). Give it a test under your new OS just to see how it works with the T-Mobile ROM (I see there's a new 1.70xxxx series T-Mobile Radio - maybe yours has it now) but don't get your hopes up

Feel free to mention you know someone who had the ROM officially reverted for free under warranty. Remember, this is something that is possible to get done, I have personal experience of it.
As far as how to backup in the future, I backup all my Music, Videos and Tomtom Navigator 6.032 Maps and POIs etc on my microSDHC card using my Sandisk Cardreader and Windows XPs own backup utility. It's quick, free and works a treat! There's no need to use any special mobile phone backup software just for this sort of thing (although phone settings/configuration etc will require manual re-entering if you don't back them up - but then I'm unsure if it's possible to retain those across different OSs).

I tried to use my tomtom yesterday and it took ages to lock on despite having the quick gps downloaded.

Well then assuming you were out in the open and there's no reason why it shouldn't have got a quick lock (other than the 'up'grade), you know what to do!
For other T-Mobile customers and people considering using the radio in a non- T-Mobile Kaiser (not me!), it may be helpful if you post the ROM and Radio Versions you currently have.

ROM Version: 3.31.110.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.70.18.02
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
The sat nave seems better since that first lock, but I've only used it twice.
Is there a way to backup this ROM before I change back to do my upgrade file?
Cheers,
DJ

Repeat after me, this ROM is bad, this ROM needs to go, Old ROM is good, Old ROM is whats needed (for the meantime)!
Once you've got your SD Card contents back, then you can think about where to go from there and T-Mobile I'm sure will be only to pleased to supply you with the upgrade again or do it themselves.
