Guide to WM6 Roms

As far as I can tell there are 5 WM6 roms, making it pretty hard to decide which one to use.
Theres Phils alpha and beta versions which both appear to be cooked versions of the Vox rom? And both have a high CPU bug resulting in bad battery life.
THeres the perfect english version, don't know where that came from.
And the sticky post with a HTC beta rom, sticky because...?
And also the official dopod rom, which some people say is the best choice.
So I guess I'm not the only one confused about which one to use. Guess the dopod one is the best bet at the moment.

None of the actual ROMS are based on HTC VOX. NONE.
All are based on an INTERNAL UNIT BUILD...
I've tested them, and the best is " Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition" by andot. It has some bugfixes (eg: WMP, MMS..) and other TWEAKS, that you will NOT FIND in other ROMS (eg: Automatic Time, Unlock Clock, etc etc). So, right now, it's the best build.
No CPU overload problem, it was fixed. (and btw, it can be fixed manually by removing a key from registry, a2dpfix related key)

There is no official DOPOD ROM. That name is misleading. I am guessing the cooker meant that his ROM is for the DOPOD variant of HTC Tornado.

I'm agree with DSF " Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition" 20070807 is for the moment ( 07/08/2007 23h31) the best ROM for WM6 on Tornado.

Not being self-whoring or anything here, but pretty much ALL of the major issues in my ROM have been sorted in a test build I build today, expect a release sometime next week.
AFAIK, all the WM6 builds are based on my ALPHA build, however I will be porting a HTC S710 XIP and IMGFS when time and resources permit, so we'll have something like an WM6 RTM build for our tornado's...
Phil

Yes, without Phil's alpha build, we have nothing about the WM6 for Tornado, Phil did a great work!

Thanks andot, also thanks for some of your great work I've included in my test BETA2 ROM
Phil

its nice to see two brilliant cookers helping together! nyahahaha!
brilliant + brilliant = awesome rom!!!!! am i right?

If we help each other, the world has got to be a better place by the end of it Maybe not create a ROM together, but definitely share what we have and know

that is the whole idea between open source software as well, such as linux. it doesn't mean that you must create a single rom but you must use each other's wisdom to perfect your own work.

You are right, Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition 20070807 is the best at the moment. I have tried all these ROMs on my Dopod and now decided to stay with this ROM. Thank you all for your hard works and effots.
Just one small question. Anybody try the WWE version released right before Tornado Perfect English Edition ? My Dopod seems to have better batery life on WWE Rom than Perfect English Edition ROM. I have done a comparation test in the same amount of time (8 hours). In WWE ROM, my phone losts just less than 10% of battery but on Perfect English Edition ROM (v20070807), my phone losts up to 20% (even I used Automatic CPU speeds Mode in Tornado Power Control, saw the CPU speed is lower to 132MHz, closed phone and didn't use phone within these 8 hours).
Can anyboday help to explain to me why and how to solve this matter ?

same here. but without power control. in about 12 hours i have lost about 30%

Phil, what font size are you usign for SMS? I hope it is the same as your Beta build because the 'Perfect Tornado ROM' uses a very small SMS font

I flashed back to the WWE version this afternoon. It's more stable and somehow has less power consumption (I can't put my fingers on the exact reason for this.)

Do you know which application cause that?

With the V3 i lost 8% between 00:00 and 09:14 it's very good (ps: I don't use tornado power control, just automitkeylock, xbar are running)

I have no idea about what application causes this matter, just use what it has in your Perfect ROM. Can Automatic CPU speed mode in Tornando Power Control application cause this matter ?

Perhaps the automatic CPU power reduced the clock speed when not in use, hence giving you more power, that should be what happened

Using the WWE build my current power draw is 48 mAmp. (SDA) What do you guys get using other builds? (use celeTask to check)

yea, i would like to know as well........i have a wizard i just ordered coming on friday

there is one new will appear very soon
for now i think the latest two are Toch no evil and blackdiomond 2.0

i heard that you need to soft reset black diamond like 3-4 times in a day ...

I realy like NBD 9.1
but i'm sure soon we will have a new version problably with a new build...is wait to see

hummmm
mohen, i hope you successfully flashed since the hour you PMed me on pocket.
as far as i tried, the NBD 9.1 and BlackDiamons 2.0 gets stuck all the time, and the WRCX2 has photo contacts problems. so, i recommand you work with NBD 8.3, which was the last stable rom i had with touchflo. for now i work with WRCX3, because it's stable (even with PDAC Hebrew), and very fast. the downside is that there is no Touchflo cube nor finger scrolling. the cube is useless in my opinion, but the finger scrolling is really missed.
if the TNT wink means he is bringing his first rom with touchflo, is guess it will be the best hoice, since his rom was stable and fast untill now. in the meantime, go with NBD 8.3 and add the pocketCM software.
talk to me in the morning if you still have flashing problems. just make sure you don't brick your device

nbd 8.3 with 8mb pagepool is the best so far.

Touch Flow
Yes, NBD 8.3 is stable, I used this for a month.
I had some problems sometime with Java (Opera mini) , but it was solved

If you dont want the cube, go for my rom (see sig)

What he said
Touch No Evil is by far the fastest touch ROM I tried, the cube is just way too laggy when it works anyway.

I ran the Black Diamond 2 for 2 days and did not have any problems. it is fast

Uni Radio reviews

Hi all masters in the forum
I started this to learn more about all diferent radios existing for Uni, and to know from the ones with more knowledge wich has best signal, best batery consumption, etc.
Hope you all be interested in this
Thanks!
Gracias

For me the best radio version is 1.15.00, no crashes no signal lost, for the time with 1.18.00 i have a lot of problems, in one way it also depends and from mobile operator

1.18.00 also gave me nothing but trouble. 1.15.00 and 1.17.00 are by far more stable and crashed but a handful of times on me. That was on a WM 6.1 ROM though and I am not even sure if it really was due to the radio or main ROM. That said, I am not sure if any of the upgrades ever brought any increase in radio performance. The general advice here really is "if it ain't broken don't fix it" because there is (nearly) nothing to be gained.

I'm using radio 1.18.00 here with original T-Mobile UK WM5 from 2005 (3 years ago!). No problems whatsoever.

where can i get radio for uni?i need radio 1.15 unlock please link and i hope not ftp link

Upgrading WM5 => WM6, battery problem!

Hi there!
Last week I tried to update my XDA Neo to WM6 - it worked the first time without any problems. After a few days the battery lifetime was very few.
After some time I could not load the battery any more => it seemed to load but WM6 said that the battery was not full.
I could not believe that the battery was broken so I flashed the Neo back to WM5. Now it works absolutely normal!
Is there somebody who can tell me why there is no problem any more?
Thanks for your answers (and please apologize my english)!
stahlbuerste

which wm6 did you try? try another wm6 rom & see if it is the cause. maybe it is the camera version on that rom?

It has been the Prophet ShadoW 2.0 Touch Edition GER - RC1 at the first time and Gullum Prophet Touch IX.

hmmm, try & use the rom from my sig. been using it for a while with no problems.

There is no such thing as "best ROM"
All will depend on your personal needs.
What is best to me not necessary should be for you.
Said that, enter to ROM section and read a bit to know users comments, then make your choice
On my opinion Tomal 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 are the more stable and great performance, but it´s up to you to find out your "best"

Or...............
Or you can check every members signature where they proudly announce their favourite ROM!

but i dunno whether my jasjar is suitable for 64 mb rom or 128 mb rom

If Uni is original (never sent to upgrade Ram) you have and original 64Mb Universal

can i downgrade to my original ROM DOPOD 900 from factory?
or there's problem if i do that?
thx

No problem, you can downgrade same way as you flash a new ROM

I have seen a lot said about Tomal's ROMs as being stable and very reliable, but every link to get the ROMs are always broken! Dead ends. Can someone please provide a very assured link to download Tomal's 6.x versions please?

Cooked ROMs​

Best ROM for iMate JasJar (HTC Universal, Exec, ...)
I would have to agree that Tomal's 8.5 is the best of the posted ROMs. Not perfect, but it is very stable, good performing, yet fresh enough to run most new apps.
Above 8.5, there's all this annoying stuff in the UI, and performance and memory usage take a hit. Below 8.5, certain niceties like drag-scrolling disappear, the dialer looks ugly, and fundamental apps such as Microsoft's Facebook won't install.
There are a few non-Tomal ROMs out there - one of them, a WM5-based version, is really very good, and I used it for weeks. But for me, 8.5 with WM6.1 is the best compromise.
It looks like I'll be staying with this ROM, and staying with my iMate JasJar, until a similar or better big-keyboard big-screen phone running Windows Phone 7 becomes cheap enough.
Cheers

First I installed luca16thebig's light ROM 6.1, I found it really awesome as it was really fast and stable in the beginning. But as the time passed I realized that my battery is draining a lot quicker and also the mobile started to RESTART itself once every hour. The last thing which forced me to reflash the device was when I wanted to configure GPRS and no matter what I did it didn't want to connect.
Afterards I installed "TML v8.7.1 21028 regular 64MB", and so far everything is working fine, though its just been 2 days. GPRS is good and battery time is better.
Things I am not liking is the non availability of MMS inside the ROM and also I would really want to disable Auto Time Sync feature somehow.
Apart from this I believe it is so good. But I will flash "TML89_WM61_21048_REGULAR_64MB" or "TML89_WM61_21048_LITE_64MB" tomorrow just to check whats new in there
I hope it helped someone

Have a look through ROM thread, you can disable timesync by deleting from REG startup. MMS can be downloaded as cab, use Dutty's - I've posted it somewhere.

Thanks for the prompt response, I am using Arcsoft - do you think Dutty's is better ? I am going to search the thread for Timesync registry hack..
