just kidding.
Downloaded and flashing now.
Thanks you and buzz.
Hi Vivi,
Are you going to do a 64 version? I'm excited enough about Buzz's v2 but would prefer to reflash and resplit my memory allocation at the same time.
Regards - Mallow1
Yes, I modified to 64WWE HERE
No other edits,only the RAMdisk space.
Many many thanks Vivi,
I'm reflashing as I type.

I had the same problems ie storage only 14.54mb and 56.34mb in Program.
How to increase the Storage space from 14.54mb??????
My camera and record buttons do not function???????
What happen when the storage space got used up after installing programs as 14.54mb is not much??? Wil the RamDish of 63.95mb takes over??????
Please help thanks
Hi Guys
I am currently running the Sin Merged v2.0 Windows 2003SE version of the OS on my XDAII.
What are the benifits of upgrading to the new 2005 OS?
does any one know if this version of the OS has less or more bugs then the 2003SE version I currently have?
Many thanks!
FB
Has any one tried this new update as yet and has used the older 2003SE OS, if so please could you let me know how you are finding it so far?
Is it stable?
What are the new features?
Is it worth the upgrade?
Many thanks
FB
YESS ... and with this ROM I feel littlebit faster ....
hi indra9110
Many thanks for the reply
Where you also using Sin's 2003SE ROM?
Have you noticed any problems with this the new 2005 ROM as yet?
Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to get my phone as stable as possible and have had a few issues with the original 2003 as well as 2003SE (better then original though) so I was hoping that the 2005 ROM would be even better?
Any extra details of what is included in this rom would be great as well as is it just a matter or running an EXE file and it does the rest for you? (As Sin's 2003SE rom did?)
Many thanks!

TofClock has just posted his modified 2.01a ROMs (three versions with differing RAM disc sizes 0, 32 or 64) with all the fixes and tweaks identified as being needed in WM5 for the Himalaya (so far)... a few minor ones remain mainly dependent upon country, exact device etc but in the main it is receiving very good marks for speed, stability and functionality. I would certainly recommend it over WM2003SE.

Hi Mallow1
Many thanks for the reply, although I am more confused as to which one is better and what I should do now... LOL
Any idea as to what the diference is between these 2 roms?
Also do these both have support for Australian phone providers and settings?
many thanks guys!
FB
why does not many people seem to be using this ROM? Not much information about it :-(
Even the other ROM that Mallow1 seems to have a few issues.
Does this ROM have the same issues?
I'm trying to find a more stable and slightly faster ROM then the Win2003SE (Sin Merged 2.0) that I am currently using :-D
Has any one every found a rock solid ROM that works on the XDAII in Australia?
Cheers guys!
fudgebottom,
WM2003SE is not as good as WM5 (which haspersistant memory for your data so it won't get wiped when the battery goes, plus it has enhanced features over and above 2003SE in that it is the next generation up and benefits from chnages as to how users use their phoen.. too many to list but there is plenty to read in all these forums).
WM5 2.00a was adapted by BuzzLightyear from a plain vanilla official ROM (i.e. a ROM not modified to work on any specific pda platform). Buzz tweaked the basics so that it would load and run on our Himalayas, but no other mods were done to it. TofClock has then undertaken the other work needed to cutomise 2.00a to run better (faster, more stable and with less bugs). These ROMs are know as 2.01a (there are three so far each with a different split inthe memory allocation... WM2003SE allows the user to move a sliding bar to rebalance how much memory is used fro storage and how much for runnign programs. Because WM5 has persistant memory.. tis cannot be done and the allocation occurs by choising which ROM suits your needs best, 128MB RAM, 96MB RAM and 32MB "additional" storage (i.e. total still equals 128 MB), or 64MB RAM plus 64MB additional storage (the last is the one I use).
From what I've read, I think that all earlier versions of WM5 were not vanilla WWE (i.e. were in another language whichwas then translated back to English and had been originally service provider branded). All this was BuzzLighhtyear' work. WWE is World Wide English by the way. So the original ROM was then changed to work on Himalaya and bugs ironned out as best could (as we all beta reported). The last generation of these ROMs was 1.71 versions which still had various issues with their performance. In theory therefore getting hold of a vanilla ROM and modifying it for the Himalaya would therefore be the purest, cleanest route to go forward with. This is what 2.xx is based on.
WM5 2.01 versions are therefore cleaner and faster and more stable so far. If you wish to upgrade these 2.01a 128, 2.01a 96, 2.01a 64 are the best to date (Tofclock is working on further modification as these things continually update ad infinitum). Their minor bugs can be read over in Buzzdev.net where this is all documented in the posts/threads. Its easy to find... go read! The only difference between the three 2.01a versions is the memory allocation as mentioned above.
Hope you are less confused, but I have to say, read more as all you are asking is covered in these forums, wikis and related forums. Also these sites as the nme suggests are developer sites. Software is underdevelopement (beta) by definition. HTC (the makers of the XDA ii/ Himalaya, haven't released an official WM5 ROM for Himalaya, they did with WM2003SE). So if you are interested in beta work/ developement then go ahead and reflash with the WM5 ROM of your choice but there will always be somehting not 100% with the result. That's why we are all compiling the issues and tweaking ROMs.
Hope all this helps.

It's easy enough for you to test before releasing - there are lots of free VoIP providers and provisioning your phone is easy:
Google turned this up, but I am sure there are others:
http://www.sipdiscount.com/en/freetrial.html
If it doesn't work, don't include it.........
I have reverted back to the original 5.2.318 release and VoIP works, however the audio is played via the stereo speakers and not the phone speaker, it is usable though, unlike any other ROM where the audio is either not heard at all or is almost impossible to hear.
Andy
nice one
nice one mate looking good you should get a kaiser. lol
what about the 1437 and the fact that it's the best of all the based rom and that we dont need to test newer one?
imy thinking is the VoIP must supported by the network, isn't??

Latest Update (25 June 21:07 GMT8)
Now that Beasty is offering "official" help and expertise on the VC component, we can look forward to improve the VC even further. I understand that you may encounter odd bugs while using the VCs and this is to be expected. The intention is to gather inputs for a more stable release soon. Cheers.
25 June 2008 - MAJOR Update
Version: EF 2.40 WWE WM6.1 Build 19900.1.0.3 + VC Ready Components
Pagepool 6.5MB for 64MB Unis (G4/G3)
As per advised earlier, the rom now offers Video Call option which can be enabled if you wish to use Video Telephony. BUT please consider this as a beta Release (on the VC part) because, like Beasty and Laurentius before me, I only managed to get VC running up to 70-80% with so many other possibilities unexplored. In fact after many sleepless night and red eyes, I am running out of ideas on how to get the VC build up to 100% - and with regard to this, I am sharing the very same Kitchen that I use to cook the roms with all the contents to those interested in doing further development on the VC part. The Kitchen is based on ThingsOnASpring and all credits should go to him.
Background:
The VC components have been ported over from Dopod 900 official rom 1.30 release in WM5 flavor. Apparently, our Uni will not aknowledge the later versions of Video Telephony dlls and drivers which I took from the official Athena WM6 and Tytn. I have tried all combinations to no avail (with the later version VC dlls).
Only with proper arrangement of WM5 VC Dlls, Intellidial and Camera components will the VC work properly on our Unis.
So, the end result is a forced entry of WM5 dlls into WM6.1 build. And because of this it is expected to behave somewhat oddly on certain functions (more about this later)
So how does it work:
Download the rom here:
Version: EF 2.40 WWE WM6.1 Build 19900.1.0.3 + VC Ready Components
After the first boot, to enable VC, go to Programs and click on Enable Video Call icon which will run a cab installer automatically. YOU NEED A SOFT RESET to activate the changes
IMPORTANT:
- Making a VC will trigger self dial (dial onto itself), just click answer and the dialer will continue to make the VC. Once connection is establish, if the VC interface is not shown to you, click on "Call Status" and you should see the two windows of both caller and recepient
- Ending a call or unable to establish 3G VC due to signal or other issues, the screen will show "Connected:" but do not panic, this is a small display bug and does not mean that you are connected to 3G network unecessarily
- Should the dialer pads become sluggish after a while, a soft reset may be required. But this happens very rarely.
And finally, for those interested to cook your own custom rom based on this build, please download the kithen here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?lecmcgmmmz2
The kitchen is ready to cook EF 2.40 release.
Again, thank you for your support and hope you guys will have fun beta testing the VCs. It's not perfect but at the very least provide a glimmer of hope of what to come.
PS:
If you find my handiwork to be useful and feels like buying me a drink, please PM me for Paypal ID.
UPDATE:
Video Telephony has been successfully integrated into the build I am using now.
In the next 24 hours I will be testing it extensively to see if there's any bug or issues.
We all know that previous efforts by WM6 chefs was fraught with difficulties, I expect mine to be no different. But at least the indication has been good so far. We shall see how this will fare later.
On the other hand, I may remove the inclusion of Ext Rom as usable drive due to the issue of storing email attachments.
Hope to get some good results soon.
Latest Update:
A friend of mine is using Uni G4 and he has been able to flash this rom successfully
Important UPDATE:
I just found out that my Uni is ACTUALLY A G3!. So this Rom will definitely work on all G3. Silly me, I didn't read the Wiki thoroughly enough to differetiate a G3 and G4 LOL!
If you are keen on 19900 WM6.1 in Vanilla flavors, please read on. I have just recently micgrated from O2 Xda Flame to Dopod 900 (HTC Universal) and have ever since been looking for a "stock" looking WM6.1 WWE. The readily available Vanillas seems to suffer from "excessive parts removal" to make them light and have suffered from odd behaviours on my aged G3. Since I am not new to Rom Cooking (my previous work can be found at www.xdaflameusers.com), I decided to cook my own WWE and the one I am using now seems to be quite a performer.
This ROM is build on four separate instances:
ThingsOnASpring Kitchen ->
Tomal's 7.7 19900 nk.nbf decoded and extracted ->
OEM Components deconstructed and removal of extras ->
SYS Components revised and HTC Official Kaiser WM6.1 WWE was used as filler to restore missing components ->
Reg Mods all over for performance and stability ->
Additition of minor HTC OEM components & drivers ->
Mo3ulla 2.15 (19588) nk.nbf used as target donor host ->
ThingsOnASpring XIP as the base XIP donor ->
RESULT:
EF 2.22 WWE 19900.1.0.3 Vanilla for G3 Universal (G4 not tested because mine is on G4)
Main attributes:
- Very stock looking
- 7.5MB Pagepool for 64MB Unis and FF Pagepool for 128 Unis (need someone to test this)
- Upon first boot, 40.XXMB of Storage and 26.XXMB of Memory
- Extended ROM already unlocked and ready for use - renamed as 10MB_Store. Update: I am looking into preventing clashes of SD card and Extended ROM for mail attachments
- Includes native support for both normal SD and SDHCs, SD Settings has been removed in favor of static SDHC components which will read/write both normal SD and SDHC. This has been rigorously tested with my 8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC (with SD adapter) and Kingston 4GB SDHC Class4. Both performs flawlessly tested using Windows Media Player with over 1000 songs on high bitrate MP3s. Using the old SDHC drivers, pause gaps between songs was around 5-6 seconds but now the gap has been reduced to 3-4 seconds
- Includes HTC Network Wizard for easy 3G/GPRS setup
- Grayscale BG for CommManager with all Stock features restored
- Runs perfectly with Radio 1.18
- Exchange Push Mail fully tested on 3G/GRPS - worked flawlessly
- Excellent synergy with SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 and Pocket Plus 4
- .NET CF3.5 installed and confirmed running perfectly
- Games, Transcriber, Schap VOIP, OneNote & Windows Live etc removed
- Registry cleaned of excess traces
- No FDISK/RAMDISK included for stability sake
- Proven stability with 3G/GPRS always on & Activesync in background with Microsoft DirectPush. On top of that with SPB Shell, SPB Finance, Windows Live and Pocket Plus running back to back
Downloads:
EF 2.22 19900.1.0.3 64MB Unis (Pagepool 7.5MB)
EF 2.22 19900.1.0.3 128MB Unis (Pagepool FF)
Note:
Before you flash, it's a good idea to blank out your Extended ROM to avoid complications. Default HTC Autoinstall from extended rom has been known to cause system freeze on first boot
If you are new to flashing, I highly recommend reading the Universal Wiki - the Wikis has been a great help to me when I first started over 2 weeks ago
Credits:
Of course, this has been possible due to the the hard works of Tomal, Mo3ulla, ThingsOnASpring and many more before them. They deserve all the credits where applicable.
Disclaimer:
There's always risk with cooked roms flashing. Do this at your own discretion and do it only if you are absolutely certain of your intent
Thanks & enjoy!
MMS
Hi there org kampung
before i flash this ROM just want to confirm if you haven't excluded the MMS because i used it alot since VC is not applcable for WM6. Thank you.

Good to see that are more Malaysian developer. Looking forward to have a Malaysian shop that can solder/upgrade our UNI to 128mb + reasonable price. Keep us posted dude.

Why dont u just try it? u can always revert back to your trusty old rom if failed.
Yes, the base roms used to construct this one has been known to support G3. I see no reason it should not work with a G3. BUT I have never tested this build on a G3 because I don't have one. Any takers?
Thanks
Wow, let me check this one out then i will tell you what will happen to my exec G3. Anyway, thanks a lot for a new cooking that makes me so curious.
Important UPDATE:
I just found out that my Uni is ACTUALLY A G3!. So this Rom will definitely work on all G3. Silly me, I didn't read the Wiki thoroughly enough to differetiate a G3 and G4 LOL!
satanisme:
All we need to do now is get the 128 chips. There's a lot of handphone repair shops at Lowyat plaza that can do hot blower soldering with the proper tools. Of course we will have to tell them precisely which chips to take out and what to solder in
Can you confirm how you got you email attachments to the storage card. The messaging options only sees the 10_MB storage?

If you renamed the extended ROM to anything whose first letter was alphabetically greater than capital S (from "Storage Card") wouldn't do?

Quick question
Does the ROM contain the RGUs?
If it does, this may be a better base for me to use with the Diamond addons, rather than Ranju's 19900 build...

The rgus are not included in the rom itself due to over 1.15MB size added if they are not deleted. But I can share the ones still in OEM & SYS of the kitchen I use. Anyway I am in the habit of modifying the output hv files (Default.hv & User.hv) directly just before cooking so the rgus may only reflect 80% of the actual mods done. If you extract this rom, just before you pkg them into SYS and OEM, grab the hv files and convert them into master rgus.

Yes I am thinking of testing this out. Thanks for the input

A very nice and stable ROM. I am using it now happily. Even the phone hangs once in an outgoing call and i have to soft reset. Gazak Allah Khayran dear EFN.
Hi there!
I played around now with nearly each german ROM provided in this forum and thought it would be a nice idea to share my conclusion so far:
My requirements: a rom that is
o reliable
o stable
o fast
o economical
My conclusion:
o Tejaks V5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2348896&postcount=125)
o Radio ROM: 1.65.16.25
I really tried about a dozens radio ROMS / each german ROM and realized that a good number of them seems to suffer from the "battery drain" bug which makes the device unusable for my opinion...
My actual configuration like stated above (ROM and radio ROM) contains around 50 installed 3rd applications and uses only - tadaaa - between 1 (!!!) and 5 mW during standby (measured with battery status). Note: other ROM/Radio ROM combinations used a lot more (from 50mW up to 200mW and even more in standby!) <-- so much for battery usage / economy
For stability: I had NO call disruptions at all (not like with the newer radio ROMS) and got my GPS fixes pretty fast. The ROM never hanged so far.
Skype works! (I dont know any other german WM 6.1 so far)
Igo8 works!
I cant provide a benchmark so far - but this combination gives me the very best feeling related to speed.
No german keyboard bug!
No backlight timeout bug!
No camera bug!
So if you are german and wondering which ROM / Radio ROM you want to use - give this one a chance!
(PS: This is just my very personal impression of the avaliable ROMS... I give all my respect to ALL of the cooks - you all do very valuable work!)
Hi!
Thanks for the information. I installed Teijak's ROM yesterday - my first impression is very good (fast!). My only (little) concern is about the amount of free RAM (I guess because of the pagepool size?) - but let's wait and see.
The official HTC 6.1 ROM was really disappointing me (unstable, performance very different).
HI,
just change the PagePool Size to Dynamic with the Page Pool Patcher Tool. And you will get ~55 MByte Free of RAM. And the Device will going to be awesome fast ;-)
What i miss in this cooked Rom is a pre installed VOIP configuration and the Live Messenger.
...best german ROM?
Hello, I also search for a good, stable and fast (new) german ROM to flash first time my Kaiser...if someone else have good experience with new roms please post here your opinion, bugs and so on...
Thanks for your help,
Lou
I completely agree with licht77!
first, yes I am a nooby. But never-the-less I managed to flash the V5 yesterday night together with HardSPL 3.59. Radio is 1.65.16.25. Before this upgrade I was running the official HTC 6.1 upgrade.
I have changed the page pool to 6MB. My impression: this ROM really rocks!!! Even with this low page pool it is much better than anything I run until now.
Teijak, keep the good work running.
BTW, I am located in the Munich are and Vodafone customer...
Cheers.
Did someone cook this version of ROM to HTC Herald ?
Yes. I did. But I haven't released it because it's wm6.5 is still as buggy as can possibly be.
PDAViet also released it. It's terrible. Don't waste your time.
Can you provide link ? I am using WM 6.5 for month and it works quite well. I thought that newer version is more stable? I saw that guys released WM6.5 build 21198 for HTC GENE and works also quite well. Can I use the their ROM for Herald ?
pdaviet
If you become a member, you can download his roms. It takes a bit of manuevering if you don't speak vietnamese, but I managed lol.

I used the his rom for about a day. It was slow, but picked up speed after I changed the pagepool to 6 at da_mayhem's suggestion. Ultimately, I despise the honeycomb deal. It felt like a huge step backward.
Good luck!
Is there any big improvement from 21159 buid, which I am using ? New IE, stability?
How to register if anything is, sorry for that scrawl.
Please can you upload it somewhere?
Build 21198 flies, but I've decided to focus on making completely stable ROMs only, so I'm waiting for Microsoft to finalize WM6.5 before I spend too much time on it. Maybe after I'm done with JustStable, I'll work on my 6.5 port, but it just has too many little things that bother me. Even little things like installing cabs is broken.
What if I will use ROM for HTC GENE ? Will it work? The link for 21198 build is available.

No. You don't use Diesel on a gas car unless you want to BREAK the engine.
Be patient until either someone fixes all the bugs or microsoft releases a less buggy version.
In the meantime, try a more current version of wm6.1 (try my JustStable, alpha. It's not finished, yet, but it's the most current WM6.1 build available.)
Please could you send me an link with build 21198 ? Just for test ?
Thanks.

If you use it, you won't be able to install anything and half the things won't work. I haven't had time to fix the bugs in it.
SPEED FIX!!!
Okay guys. i know, i know. SPEED! ive been checking and posting in the last forum post, the FIRST about 6.5 on herald (on xda), where most including me got the 6.5 rom. well i just fixed the speed problem! its a two part update, overclock + ram page file.
1. i first overclocked to 240, highest i got to with out fryin it. 252 ****ed it up.
2. then, the RAM, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM! well normal ram uses the memory that comes with the phone, reserved for ram. well thats not enough, so if you have an SD card, heres a registry hack that turned slowass 6.5 into literaly, faster than any other rom ive used, including 5,6, and 6.1
go to registry and go to HKLM > SYSTEM > FILESYS >
[Change the path from [appdata/volital] to: [SD Card/Application Data/Volatile] just add the SD Card in the begining.) this DRAMATICALY warpped my speed!
DONE! GLAD I COULD HELP!
1. So build 21198 is worse than 21159 which I am using?
2. How to that HTC Gene have 21198 ROM, which is usable?
3. What about PDAVIET WM6.5 build 21198 ?
I also made fo build 21159 change od pagepool and overclock and then it was usable ROM. I just missef new IE mobile.
No, my 21198 build is SUPER fast with NO overclocking. The Gene ROM is usable after a LOT of work. And even then it's still SUPER buggy.
And if you just want the newest IE, my JustStable WM6.1 also has it. Also, you can use Operamini instead.

It actually did speed it up. i OC to 260 and did the req hack. with the original PP and it did speed it up. But not enough...
Still nobody answer me on this questions:
1. So build 21198 is worse than 21159 which I am using?
2. Can you please provide me the ROM just for test ?
Thanks.

What do you mean nobody has answered you?
I said that my 21198 build is SUPER fast. And I said I wasn't releasing it anytime soon. There are too many bugs in it that need to be fixed and I don't have time to hunt them all down and fix them. (Many things are very broken.)
Lol this is funny. there is really NO differenvce except the IE, New today screen, and HOOOOOORIBLE start menu...... Ivan has the important part (IE) in his newest rom. and if ya want the jazzy homescreen then get touchflow......
Somenone also said that build 21159 have lot of bugs and I am using it. Yes, it have some bugs but I can live with them.
So build 21198 is more bugy than 21159?

Does 21159 let you install other programs using cabs? 21189 does NOT. Does 21159 allow you to use activesync? 21189 does NOT. You have to understand that you're not asking me to post a link to a ROM I found, you're asking me to post a ROM that I myself created even though I do not want to. It's VERY broken. I'm not just "holding out" on you.
