I think the most stable WM6 rom for Prophet is "Smart1"'s CLEAR rom.
But I can sync with my outlook, I have upgraded to Activesync 4.5 though.
Do I need to upgrade to activesync 4.5 English version? Because I am using Chinese one.
Since at the moment that I have tried there is none that works completely well, they usually have mistakes with the BT, I have returned to WM5 and have put the rom of ASERG AKU3.3 v.12, very good and stable

Same here.. ..a friend of mine has the Most Beautiful ROM running on his Wizard right now. It seems to me that's the best WM6.0 ROM out there at the moment. Disappearing SMS problems are solved etc.
Would be great to see this ROM running on the Prophet
But it should solve:
- IR problems
- Include the charge fix
- SMS storing problem
- BT pairing history
We just have to wait for a willingly and smart Prophet user who can give this a try
So let me get this straight:
1. ASERG AKU3.3 v.12 is currently better than any WM6 ROM currently in this forum (for a Prophet) ??
2. Can someone please show us images comparing WM6 ROMs and AKU ROMs (how they look like) ? please...
thanks

1. For the Prophet, yes.
2. Look HERE for info about the different AKU's.
And take a look HERE for info about WM6.0.
thx mccune!
i have looked at the differences... it seems that AKU is more stable and everything (since i have installed smart1's WM6 ROM and there are a few unresolved bugs...)
but anyways, i like WM6's appearence way better... and this is what matters more for me hehe
but... im still a bit confused about something... what exactly is AKU ? i mean ... does it have anything to do with microsoft? or is it simply another OS in competition with microsoft's WM ? :S
i can see the widows logo in the AKU's pics... thats y im confused
in other words: Why are there AKU and WM6 roms in this forum ? :S whats the difference ?
thx in advance
It says it all in the link he gave you
"Review of update packs (AKU) for Windows Mobile 5.0""
Looks like AKU is a set of upgrades which Microsoft release, maybe like "service pack" for XP. These include patches and tweaks for the OS.
SO ASERG AKU3.3 v.12 is the old version of Windows Mobile, (WM2005) but with latest updates from Microsoft installed.
Ahh okayzzz...
so AKU is like WM5 SP# and WM6 is... well, WM6
thx
ASERG AKU3.3 v.12 Issues
Recently loaded this rom on my Prophet multiple issues with Rom, Calender is in Russian or something, unit runs really slow, drains batt fast, unable to select notifications from Voice msg and be connected directly to voice mail, running of programs is delayed or crashed.
Know this is the most recent one out there just not sure if it fully functional.

Why are you so negative about this ROM?
- Calender is in Russian -> Change your region settings
- unit runs really slow -> Never heard off such problem
- drains batt fast -> Maybe your device has been OC-ed using BatteryStatus?
- Other point I don't use, so no comment.
I've tried almost every ROM available for the Prophet and I must say this is one of the best!
To me the best WM6 Rom is the smart1 clear... but it's just a opinion.
Rom Issues
The phone has no Batt issues, untill loaded this rom batt at time runs hot, turning the unit off is inpossible w/out taking the Batt out - the shut down screen only restarts the unit or puts in in standby, attaching the unit w/ a bluetooth - if the unit is actually restarted or shut off does not recall the prev settings - have to re-attach the unit as a new item, Wireless - will not keep WEp keys stored in system, again if re-start unit must re-activate the whole sys & keys, MS Messenger will not log on at not point even re-starting the unit will not work & finally when the rom is initially run not all the programs install have to manually go back in to install application (ex. batt tester, batt charge notification on desktop are some f/ example). To actually speed up the system needed to re-run the rom update 3X not the best thing to have to do. Additional suggestion rom could use a PDF initial install prog. instead of having to install after rom run & set up.
My present rom is aserg's 3.12
Hi guys, I still think that Aserg's 3.12 rom is the best. However, I am waiting too for a good and (more) stable WM6 rom to use the new features. Wm6 stiil has too many problems to fix e.g. not working IR , etc.
I include 3 pics of my current rom with 2 versions of my today screen. Isn't it what someone asked in this thread? If anyone knows a better WM6 rom, please let me know.
/!\ This thread has been superceded. Look here for the newest release

Here is my latest version for those interested to test it.
It is still buggy but I finally got the keyboard to work.

Thanks Dr Gonzo.
Keep up the gr8 work.. I will test it tonight..
If my phone is unable to boot then how can i restore back to your guava rom?
You have to re-flash it to New Guava, there is no "restore".
I'd say don't test it if you've never experienced an unusable phone
I'd like to know if people feel like me that it is faster ? It seems so.
But switching from portrait to landscape is very slow.. If someone has some knowledge of the files involved in this maybe it could be fixed.
Maybe it is because I have not ported all the files from wm 6.1 xip.
I still need to do a lot of tests here.
Hi Dr Gonzo
Being in touch with an expereinced person like you gives me the confidence to test it. I hope you will help me if GOD forbid i get an unusable phone...

Hi
Is it uploaded complete now? I can see 42.5 MB size..
salut Dr. Gonzo,
may I ask you where did you got the source code and which build number is that...??? could you paste some screenshots...!!!
THX in advance
Metanol
I'm going to flash your WM 6.1 ROM onto my Vox because I am courious what WM 6.1 is like. Is this just a plain WM 6.1 ROM or a New Guava ROM?
Roland
flashing done but my phone is stucked on mobile operator splash screen for a long time
this rom seems slower than wm6..
Damn I cant belive this. U r awesome dude!
Thanx god u had the great idea to buy the vox!
What does Unusable mean? Something like a beta version? Or an alpha? I mean can I call send sms etc? Thanx.
ok i got a screen like the one dr gonzo posted.. its gr8
speed is very very gooooooooooooooooood
here is version information
windows mobile 6.1 Standard
OS 5.2.19195
Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90
I've just flashed my phone with this ROM, it's very fast compared with WM 6, the screen quicker when the keyboard has been opend compared with WM 6, needs clear type switching on and HTC Audio Manager adding and it will be looking good, keep the revisions coming as you port more of the ROM to the Vox. Can not wait to see what yuou do with the New Guava ROM when you have fineshd porting all of WM 6.1.
Roland
dude post some screenshot!
activesync also working fine with it..
need some clean fonts & cleartype enabled...
GPRS, bluetooth & wlan not working...
drivers needed for them..
wake up dr gonzo.. we need you
lol i'm pretty sure he said its still in the testing phase....cant expect hourly updates lol

GPRS works for me but wifi and bluetooth don't. Have you run the network setup wizard that pops up when your phone booted after it booted to the OS for the first time after Flashing the ROM?
Roland
Yep! Gprs works like a charm, wifi bluetooth not. Is there the t9? I cant find it, I trie to install the all language cab from the new guava 3d. The phone is fast very fast and quite stable too. Great work doc!
Hi Guys,
FIRST Beta Tonight/Tomorrow
Beta testers wanted - here's what will be in the first beta ROM:
Diamond CommManager
Diamond QWERTY & XT9 keyboards multi-language (the real ones!)
[New] Diamond Large Menu/Large Title bar.
[New] Diamond Volume control
[New] HTC Album (partly working - slideshow *not* working).
[New] Diamond Adobe Reader LE
[New] Diamond MP3 Trimmer
[New] Diamond RandomAccess (in Contacts)
[New] Diamond Alerts/Ringtones
NOT in this Beta:
Windows Live - currently testing
ArcSoft MMS - likely in Beta 2
This ROM is now using a SYS from the Diamond, and the ported Diamond XIP from PhamQuang. OEM (except for Diamond packages) is still primarily Ranju/Tomal.
SYS features:
NetCF 3.5
SQLCE 3.5
This first Beta is pretty heavyweight, as I now need to figure out what can be removed, yet still leave everything working (there are a lot of dependencies between the Diamond packages).
It is a User-Customization compatible ROM with SDAutorun. CABs and XML files, etc, can be included on the SD card. This has been a godsend during testing, since I have been able to automatically install everything I use during first boot.
Please PM me for download link - it'll be available either later tonight or early tomorrow morning (GMT).
Please ONLY contact me if you're willing to:
a) Test the ROM
b) Accept that there WILL be problems with it!
Feedback from Beta testers will be essential for the first more-public release, hopefully end of this week.
-PJC
good news
looks great so far pj, keep up the good work mate
cheers
Call for Beta testers...
If you'd like to Beta test this ROM in the next day or so, let me know.
Diamond Packages installed to-date:
DShow
EnlargeStartMenu
EzInput
OutlookEnhancement
PictureEnhancement
SmartTouch
TouchFLO (NOT Manilla!!)
VolumeControl
XT9
To be done before BETA:
Camera
Random Access
I'm looking for 2-3 people who must be willing to fully test the ROM, and take updates 1-2 times a day if needed to fix problems. If anybody's interested enough to take it now, I *may* release it without Camera/Random Access working.
Full details available on genuine request.
-PJC
wtg dude.........u sure doin a gr8 job brother....
peace...
send link in pm .. ill think about it
There is a link ? I would test it!
count me in
I am greately interested to test ur great work and will be delighted too much if u include me in ur team.

Hi Guys,
since nobody else seems to be doing it, I'm trying to create a ROM that has some working Diamond features in it. It's slow going (1 step forward, 2 back), but I've got some things working properly now:
Diamond CommManager
Diamond QWERTY & XT9 keyboards (the real ones!)
Diamond Dialler - new today!
I'm basing this on Tomal's current 7.7 ROM, which is a 19900 core, because I don't have an extractable Universal ROM based on the Diamond that I can use. (If anybody has one or a kitchen - with RGUs - then please let me know, that may speed up this process! The PhamQuang Diamond ROM can't be extracted using HyperCore Kitchen, and Mo3ulla's is missing a bunch of RGUs).
I'll make this a User-Customization compatible ROM with SDAutorun, since some CABs will need to be installed AFTER flashing the ROM (Opera, etc). I'll probably include the Opera CABs...
It'll likely be a few days before I have a baseline I'm happy to release, but wanted to whet people's appetites, and I've attached a couple of screenshots.

Good progress, my friend!
But I suppose you need to re-think to consider this dialer unless you're working for VC. This dialer is so buggy and extremely memory hungry. It will consume additional 7mb from your program memory.
I was working on VC based on this dialer. I did some patching of dll's and converted all the BMP's to PNG's. But still the memory consumption is huge!!
The major bug I've identified in ringing. Suddenly your phone would stop ringing for an unknown reason and you can't restore it without a HARD RESET. At least I couldn't discovered any alternatives.
Anyway, keep up ...
Cheers
Hi Tomal,
thanks for the info - looks like this could be one of those "two steps back" moments.
I've only had the dialler working for a day, but hadn't had any buggy behaviour. I'll check on the memory usage, but if it's 7MB or so (and I'm sure it will be), then this dialler's out for me since I've only got a 64MB Uni!
I've been using a modified version of the diamond dialler port to Athena (some of the PNGs were wrong and I fixed them)...
[Edit: Memory usage *is* a big problem with the dialler - I hadn't noticed it yesterday. Dialler removed, looking at options...]
-PJC
this rom will have HTC home Diamond or what ? and really i hope this rom work fast without problems and also i hope u put MSN MASSENGER in this rom and and nice thems i like black really i hope this rom look same HTC Diamond for prophet looking so nice we need nice rom
we need in this room ( ClearTemp -- MSN MASSENGER -- BACKUP SMS -- REALPLAYER --- ETC...... ) WE HOPE FOR FULL ROOM
May i ask what is missing for a beta release?

At the moment, I'm trying to get a couple of the actual diamond applications working properly - I also don't have as much time to spend on this as I'd hoped, because I've had to travel for work, so I'm not at home as much as I'd like!
If the pace of work continues to be high, I may release a very early beta that just has the CommManager, and Keyboards in & working - that's what I'm running most of the time now on my Uni.
If I get the time this weekend, hopefully there'll be some actual progress on the apps side of things.

First beta tonight/tomorrow
First beta release later tonight / tomorrow. See post#1 for details.

thank you dear ... we are waiting
Updated:
Finally had time, and access to norwegian files for a new build. Seems a bit faster and more responsive.
New in this version:
- Removed some unused/unnecessary stuff from OEM
- Camera application updated to version 5.04
- Removed taskmanager from the taskbar and replaced it with a norwegian version
- Removed some more stuff from SYS (Uneeded/unwanted)
Bugs:
- The license agreement of MSN is still blank, press "godta"
- The default start page of Interet Explorer does NOT work.
Uploaded to 4shared:
build 28002: here
previous build 23071: here
Make sure you have read this before upgrading
Important:
This ROM does not contain a radio, the radio of your previously flashed ROM will be used
Please let me know if you find any other bugs or problems! This will definitely help me improve my work! (any positive feedback is wanted as well)

Thanks to this fantastic forum I've managed to cook my own norwegian 6.5 ROM based on build 23071. So far it seems to be working very well.
Since I'm not sure about the demand for norwegian ROMs I havn't uploaded it anywhere yet. If youre interested in trying it please post here telling me so.

Hi there.
I like to try your ROM.
Espen
I'll try to find a nice place to upload it as soon as I can, will probably PM with where you can find it.
Things I've done with this ROM is by the way:
Removed:
Transcriber (doesn't recognize norwegian letters anyway)
Autoupdate
IRDA (No infrared on kaiser so this is useless)
Livesearch
MS Money
MS Tag
MS My Phone
Added:
Working version of Windows Live (Since I do use msn occasionally)
Taskmanager
+Some other minor tweaks
Basically a quite clean Rom based on a mix of the OEM of my stock 6.1 kaiser and 6.5 build 23071 SYS.
Very nice and it makes me curious
Hi
Very nice initiative. I have tried most the roms around here, and have had some difficulties with 6.5 roms and have currently gone back to a 6.1 rom, but this makes me interested to try a 6.5 rom again
best regards Rune T. Norway
Added info:
Flashed the rom, and tried it for a little more than a day, but I found it it a little unresponsive for my taste.
I always look for the fastest I can find with the best batterylife, but things is of course a matter of taste, and one seems to get picky after trying all these magnificent roms ;D
I currently use 23053-uncompressed (with only 58Mb free storage at startup), and this is fast and stable.
If you wanted to try and cook a norwegian rom based on this one, it might be a winner for my taste.
RT
I've just installed your ROM and it's working good so far.
Espen
have u got any pictures ? and I hope u can post a english vision as well ;
thanks very much !
Improving
First of all thanks for the response!
Also I will not be cooking an english version of this as there are quite a lot of them out there already (probably a lot better than I could do them too)
Have been working a bit to improve this version built on 23071 for a while, and have made a couple of test builds for myself removing unneeded apps, the duplicate alarm clock shortcut and so on, but have turned to build 23081 simply because I like the magnifier in it. Will probably post it as soon as its ready.
BTW. I've been working on a couple of uncompressed versions as well, most people use the SD-cards for storage anyway.
Might take me a couple of days, maybe weeks as I'm currently playing around with my diamonds and trinitys too...
Great - keep up the good work.
Still no issues with the current version.
Espen
Me WANT
Hi, there i would realy like to try this on, I'm sick of reading eanglish on my kaiser
-Thx
Sorry, i can see clearly now, so i found the download link
Just to let you know
Lately I've been working on the 23081 build, uncompressed. It's fast and responsive, but there's some minor bugs with Internet explorer that I'm trying to fix. I'm looking for the norwegian languge files for 23088 though so if anyone could get me those I'd be very happy....
Remove IE, it sucks anyhow. It's slow and useless.
Add Opera and set it as default browser
Opera 9.7 Beta
The beta works great.

Have been playing with the idea, might try it when I get time, not sure yet how difficult it is to set it as the default browser when I cook it and integrate it into titanium. Will defenitely look into it.
Sounds great
Looking forward to your next build
Finally..
..a new build.
Check out the first post for links.
I have not added opera, you are free to do so yourself
Nice.. I'll check it out over the weekend..
Thanks
Thanks for testing! Please leave me a message telling whats good/bad and so on.
At the moment I'm in the process of cooking a ROM with touchflo 2.0 from the HTC Mega (touch2), seems like there's just a few bugs that I need to get rid of, when (or if?) I get it done I'll upload it if anyone wants it. (Not a huge fan of touchflo on kaiser myself since it doesn't work properly in portrait though)
Not working at the moment:
YouTube (Freezes)
Opera (works, but it's in english)
Dialer (fixed, went back to the built in dialer from WM 6.5)
Comm Manager (fixed, used the original from my HTC Kaiser)
Hi, I have not had the time too test your rom untill now. I'm falshing as we speak I will report back after testing for a few hours..
I upgraded my Treo 750v to WM6.5
It has now locked up with a beta test release message.
It will not connect via activesync.
How can I get it stable again?
Many thanks
Frank
Have you tried flashing it with one of the ROMs that doesn't have the beta time-bomb in it?
I have but.......
The upgrade software wants activesync ... and gives up
thanks frank
use the SD card to flash the rom ... no activesync required.
Can you point me at a stable verion of the rom
Can't find one anywhere all the old liks seem to be broken
Many thanks
Frank
MietasSR's is the only one out there that has any recent development going on. Unfortunately, after promising a few weeks ago to fix the bugs, he seems to have disappeared.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642721
It is stable but does have quite a few bugs.
Navenedrob's was also pretty good, but he seems to have also gone silent. His uses an older build of WM6.5 though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417
I have run both, and the bottom line is WM6.5 is an unproven commodity for the Treo 750. Although both of these ROMs are stable, they both have a lot of bugs in them.
Tacoman's WM6.1 ROM is supposed to be pretty good (although I haven't tried it yet personally), but if you want stable and bug free then you have to go with the official WM6.0.
