To bad the website is loading very slowely.. ..wondering if it isn't just the same AKU3.3 ROM they've used for the UBiQUiO 501.
good news
haha
waiting clean rom
I agree, but it seems that you can't download it yet. My Thai is even worse than my English, so I can't exactly figure it out
Guess you have to request it for Beta testing.. ...so again we've got to be patient
clean rom
I can't understand, why they can't make a f..... clean rom. Who the hell want these programs into the rom?

No one says you HAVE to install a different ROM. If you can do it better please let us know and share it! I think everybody who's creating things like programms or custom ROM's deserves to be treated with respect!
The only thing most people do is install it and wine about everything. My advice, stick with your current ROM!

Actually I share the opinion from kremo. The PDAMobiz people are some sort of pioneers in throwing out new ROMs and it would be nice if they would release "virgin" ROMs with the real stuff on it and not dump all kind of junk into it. I for my own would prefer an "virgin" ROM myself rather than one that contains a lot of crap that I won't want to use.
totally agree, let us decide what junk we want. surely it would be eaiser to test a rom if it was clean, with all this on the instability and bits that dont work could be down to any of the 101 things they have installed.
So what's the problem. Just restart your device before instal of the "crap" begins. I always do thatand after that I instal what I like from the extended rom.
Isn't there just an easy way to remove all the crap before installing and placing your cabs in there yourself?
Can't be too hard can in?
Myself I'm 'somewhere in between', I also like a clean rom more than a filled one. But then again, they make the rom so they can put in anything they like. If you want a clean rom, just wait for a modded one or clean it yourself.
As for the aku 3.3, I suppose it's interesting. Any news on what's changed and stuff? Might give this stuff a try later on if I can get it and have the time
problem is the crap isnt in the extended rom, if it were then i would be more than happy cleaning it up myself, the stuff is embedded and in many cases cant even be uninstalled.

Like mentioned before, you probalby have to make a request to become a Beta tester. We'll just have to wait a while
That is my big problem too!!!!!
I'm staying in Thailand my native language is Thai but I have never installed that PDAMobiz ROM. I sincerely respect their effort, read their new update, keep in touch, but search from here for the clean one (thanks to lvsw, Jesterz... for the clean ROM I use so far). I have never complained anything about junk soft in PDAMobiz board, here neither because I know that there is the argument we usually see all the time... "if you don't like, make it yourself". Yes I'm the one who wanna be a cooker but I know my potential. I did something as much as I can but it's just only the bug reporter level.
Just my 2 cents
Hi,
1) All customised ROMs are not official. They are usually based on official or customised ROMs for other type of device. They may have some bugs. Even the official ROMs do have bugs.
2) When people customise their ROMs, they modify the ROMs in some way to make them work for their devices. They may also put anything in the ROMs to their liking. What do you really mean by a clean ROM ??? is it the official ROM clean ? Diferent ROM vendors make different ROMs even for the same type of device. Some do not include many extra programs, but some do.
Do you complian about the extra (junk) things the ROM vendors put in their ROMs???
3) The main reason people embed things in the ROM is to save the device storage space. What is in the ROM is not taking any usable space of your device. The more things you put in the ROM, the more usable space you have available for other to-be-installed programs.
4) If you do not like programs embedded in the ROM, just do not use them. If they are not loaded, they are not running, the ROM has kind of the same state of that does not have them embedded in the ROM at all.
Even they are embedded in the ROM, you still have a choice to load them or not, without uninstalling them.
Again just my 2 cents

The official ROMs might have bugs no doubt, but they are official. Whenever we find some bugs we can report them or the service providers help desk can confirm whether they are bugs or not.

If people make their own customized ROMs then its ok, but please stop pulling all kind of junk ROMs to the public and have experimental users brick their PocketPC's. In my former times as PALM User and Developer we only had official ROMs from PALM. There was just official 3.0, 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, 4.2 ROMs.
There is also a difference between extra junk put into ROM by my service provider that is required for proper functioning in germany for example (like correct emergency numbers 110, 112 rather than 991) or having it filled up with 50 other junk tools like PDAMobiz does.
I don't care much for PDAMobiz, when you go to their site you see their tamagochi and pokemon mentality. They have simply a different mentality and philosophy doing their business.

A 2gb SD card can be bught for 30 Euros these days. So this kind of argument is quite bull****. There remains enough RAM for the programs to execute. A ROMs place should stay what it is. The place for ROM. Not just that even PDAMobiz seems to be altering a lot of Microsoft stuff like patching around in the registry, putting their logo in the loader and add all their tamagochi and pokemon junk everywhere.
All I (and most others want) is a clean Microsoft ROM pulled down from a phone next to you with all the AKU 3.3 stuff applied to it. Then pack it together in a clean ROM and be it.
4) If you do not like programs embedded in the ROM, just do not use them. If they are not loaded, they are not running, the ROM has kind of the same state of that does not have them embedded in the ROM at all.
Even they are embedded in the ROM, you still have a choice to load them or not, without uninstalling them.

I don't want to use them but I also don't want to see them. Sorry for my somehow rough words here but it's how I see it.
Don't be so rough on cutomized ROMs. Some people like them, some people don't. It's up to you to decide whether to use them or not.
Bricking a phone is 100% up to the user of the device not the maker(s) of the cutomized ROM. When updating you should know you are taking a risk and should read loads of information on how to update before doing that.
When I read about people bricking their phones with a G3 rom while they have a G4 always makes me feel sorry for them, but on the other side can make me 'angry' why they just didn't take the time and properly read the forums here and gather all the needed info.
But all in all, customized roms are fun. You don't like all the crap they put in? Change it! Customize your own rom... but be careful though, because you need to know what you are doing. Put in some effort.
And don't forget, customized roms are made by volunteers for free. This can be a good thing or a bad, but that's up to everyone to decide for themselves.
imho there just shouldn't be an argument about this at all, it's what this forums is all about as long as I've been reading/using them. Customizing roms, trying to put upgrades in them, making them better. And it's the 'making them better' is what changes from dev to dev.
any of us finding the PERFECTIN in this world?
why don't we find the PLEASING

Great looking forum here and great to see all the people offering so much support. Had my Wizard for about a year and now its out of warranty I thought i'd have a play . Theres obviously a few tutorials to follow before flashing a ROM, but i was just going to say, I regularly get Connection Error while trying to flash other ROM's onto this phone. I tried to flash Schaps WM6 ROM to it, but it said connection error. However I have sucessfully flashed the T-mobile 2.26 ROM twice, therefore I am not sure if its the phone or the rom or what. Do you reckon if i follow those tutorials it will sort the connection error issue, or is that a problem with my PC. I have a few WM6 on my PC, crossbow, helmi, etc etc, so i was wondering which you recommend etc. Thanks very much, hopefully ill be able to input something when i learn a bit more
follow the tutorials,
be sure you are cid /sim unlock
only flash roms found in the wizard forum, not on other devices forum, roms are device specific
happy flashing

Schaps rom is for HERMES
If you want to brick your PDA, then be bold and try roms designed for other devices, but you will certainly BRICK IT
If you have a HTC Wizard then, just like the man before me said, do the following :
Find out if your device is a G3 or a G4
If it's a G3 CID Unlock it (not same as SIM Unlock !!!). If it's a G4, then check the G4 Forum to see what you can do.
Choose a rom that you like most but make sure that it's designed for WIZARD, so i suggest only search in the Wizard forum.
check here:

Ah right, thanks for that guys, im very glad i didnt flash it with a other ROM now. I certainly don't want to brick it, although it is insured for a while so i could happen to drop it haha
Are there any ROMs you can recommend to me . I am always up for trying them
ok, i think ive CID Unlocked my phone now. Dropped it to Button 1.05 did the lokiwiz bat then dropped it again to bring my SPL down. Ive just put on the t-mobile 2.21 ROM, now am I ready to upgrade to WM6? or do i need to put 2.26 on? Cheers

That is a ROM Kitchen that has pretty much every option you could want in it! Very stable base, and many many options. and if you have any questions, they have probably already been answered in that thread, and if not, "theloon"(the creator) will answer them for ya.

hi
As u have still not flashed any wm6 roms as yet, I wud rather suggest first flash and install a couple of cooked roms from others,just to have the feel of them and get used to the newer features added in them. Only when u get urself comfortable with them and understand their working,and above all r successful in flashing roms,inly then start thinking about cooking ur own rom.
There r a couple of very fantastic build Roms by excellent cookers here in this Forum u can start off with e.g
faria's "The real thing Rom",
Mfraaz " Xm6r3"
it's right " Tnt 5 or his Latest Professional+HTC Home"
Xplorer1.1 etc etc
They r all cooked for Wizards specifically.Just search the forum or hit the 'SEARCH' button above,
Welcome to the Flashing lunatics Forum
Happy Flashing
Just put on WM6 TNT1437 and am really impressed. Didnt take long to flash and didnt have any problems with it hanging Runs like a beast, dead quick and I am really impressed with this whole cube thing it seems a bit of useless fun hehe . although there is like a red, yellow and green line at the top of the screen. is that normal?
Okay, I feel a fool Thats the battery meter haha This is great. Its dead fast and runs a lot smoother. I think i am going to like this whole cooking your own Windows thing
Thanks

Glade to hear,that u have upgraded and enjoying it
it's a whole new experience.
If u don't feel comfortable with TouchFLO and the cube,than I'll suggest u flash the other equally excellent Professional + HTC Home Rom,u'll even like it much better.
If u dont want multicolor battery bar(comes by default) at the top,u can disable by open WinXplore then startup folder and remove battery level.lnk (you can use file explorer on the folder windows/startup)

Done and I like Now i want to cook my own ROM's make my own skins and get voIP on
congrats man , great feeling right
Rather than starting a new thread ill ask in this one, has anyone got Farias Camera cab Cheers
I need help choosing a ROM, this is my first time. Memory doesn't matter, I have SD card. Hoping for some extra programs, good wifi, and stable, I don't want it to freeze too often. Battery life doesn't matter as long as it lasts a FULL day. Let me what you think is best, so far I like the wizard titanium, but people tell me its too old. What do you think? ALSO, IT HAS TO BE WM6! THNAKS!!!

If I had to recommend a fast stable rom with some nice extras, I would have to say TNT.1437 is one of the best. It has plenty of nice little extras and is one of the most complete and stable rom's I have used. I have been using it for the last 4 months and only switched Roms to test new releases and then always to back to the 1437 build. I personally like the TouchFlo version.

Very true,the best ever Rom I have tried so far and specially the 10mb ppool
I spent a fair bit of time re-working TNT 1437 to suit my own needs and preferences. I have relatively easily moved from TNT 1437 to 1921 and recently to 1933; each time having to make some modifications to it's right Base ROM. However since he has kept the ROMs reasonably consistent between versions my time spent modifying has decreased somewhat.
My choice of ROMs would be it's right's 1933 Base and my own customisations. Most ROMs are likely to have something you don't like or don't want and I think it is now so easily to learn how to cook your own the best option is to build your own using one of the bases available. That way it will be the 'best ROM' for you.
For me, I will be sticking with it's right 1933 base for the time being as I have had very few issues with it, plus he has worked hard integrating the original 5.2.318 drivers into it, oh and it's (currently) the latest
My 2 cents..

I use XM6r3, it has given me no problems at all. I have tried many other roms and felt this was the best for my needs. Are there faster roms? I did like tnt, I tried a couple different builds (including touchflo which I don't care for) and after configuring and installing all my normal things, XM6r3 seemed to run faster. Available memory was almost =. I do like some of the bug fixes TNT has.
You think your question should be easy to answer, but really your asking what is the best car manufacturer, who has the best tasting beer. In time you will find one you like. I initially flashed my brains out with everything I could get my usb cable on, but now, I just want something that gets it done.

What kind of modifications did you make to the TNT.1437 Rom? I have been using it for some time and love it but for whatever reason I can't seem to get any of the many available kitchens to work on my computer whether it be on my Vista partition or my XP partition. Neither work.
Ok, I want to thank everyone for all your help. Also, charile_mx, if you didn't have any advice for me, you shoudn't have posted anything at all, there was no reason for you to post the stupid comment. So far I like the wm6 tnt touchflo edition, it looks nice, but im going to do more research on it first. how stable is it? Does it open apps quick, and can I open 2 or 3 apps at onve without it freezing?

The best thing that you can do for yourself is simply read up on everything involved with your wizard first. Is it unlocked? Is it G3 or G4? Does it have an IPL and SPL higher then 2.XX ? Please don't answer these questions to me. I am simply giving you some things to follow up on in your research, so that you can avoid ending up with a Brick.
Personally I have been using my own cooked Cross bred version, although I really like the look of It's Right 1933. I may have to cross breed something there.
Good Luck

Nothing too major. I modified a few .RGU files to remove some settings I don't like (Wireless on the Today screen is one I can think of), replaced the various TNT skin customisations with the default ones, replaced the Calc1 with the original Calculator, removed the themes and added my own, customised my own 'Office Mobile' folder, added battery status with my own settings, removed some unused applications and replaced them with some of my own. I replaced some of the included packages with the same ones I have that I have had continued sucess with - i.e. the various media related packages that all have reliance on certain codecs and system files that everyone seems to have issues with (Audio Manager, Voice Recorder, Streaming Media, Camera & MMS). I also included my Personal Stuff and locale settings in a custom .RGU file as well as changed the Autorun stuff to launch my own extended ROM. Oh and I have my own custom splash screens (which it took me a while to get installed and it really pi$$ed me off when I used to install a new ROM and these got overwritten..... )
Basically when I flash my ROM (or hard reset) there are minimal changes that I need to make and no software to manually install to get it back the way I like it (my VoIP settings, a Certificate and TT get installed from my extended ROM).
I am currently using the 'HyperCore' kitchen but have used others with similar results. Using the HyperCore you must follow the instructions since it is easy to miss a step and end up with a partially 'dead' Wizard.

Starting this thread was a bad idea. Sorry I didn't saw it yesterday
Reasons :
[*]This has been posted too many times before.
[*]The "Best ROM" for you is the one YOU like most. You'll have to try a few on your own to figure out which one works best for you.
[*]Everybody will give you different answers so you won't get much out of it.
[*]ROMs don't act the same on all devices. One ROM that works perfect on my device it might not work the same on yours or any other one here. You don't trust me ? Do a benchmark on your PDA..then ask someone else to do a benchmark on his PDA with same ROM and you'll see differences.
In case that didn't convinced you, here's a small list of similar threads :

The list can continue. "This is but a fraction of the monster..."
Hey guys,
Sorry for the extreme noobness of this post, but I am completely lost here. It appears that ROMeOS 4.1 is the ROM to get. But then I read that you need to install HardSPL first, then you need to pick the right radio and install that, but you need to be sure that it is the right radio for you, etc. None of this makes any sense at all to someone who has never done this before. Will I lose all the apps I've installed when I do this? If so, what is the best/easiest way to back them up so I can reinstall them after the ROM update? I also read that you need to install a keyboard fix, a screen freeze fix, and extra apps that came originally on the device need to be downloaded and installed.
I guess what I'm asking is, how do I make this $650 piece of junk that HTC won't support (they refuse to give me ROMs for it since I bought it through Amazon) into a device that is worth using with some simple step-by-step instructions? The speed and unreliability of it in its stock form for this price is completely inexcusable. I am very ready to make some donations as well.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you so much Kareem! That pretty much answered all my questions. Maybe I'm blind, but I did not see a link to that particular wiki in the stickied thread about tutorials. I think there should be a sticky in this forum with a title: HELP! I'm a noob and I need to flash my ROMS! With that link included.
Thanks again, you rock!
Oh, and I do have one last question, what radio has had the most reliability with the ROMeOS 4.1?

According to Hang Tuah's (the creator of ROMeOS) post in the dedicated thread here: "I personally tried NEON 1.58.25.17, KAIS 1.65.24.36 & KAIS 1.71.09.01".
Hi, the trickiest part of the bussiness is to do the HardSPL, which will allow you to flash any ROM or radio.
Then, if you do not want to complicate your life too much, flash one of the HTC WM 6.1 official ROMs.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
Or pick a cooked ROM that has all included (i.e. not Lite ROMs), operating system, Office, Windows Live, and a radio firmware.
hardSPL install is not tricky but its the MOST IMPORTANT thing you need to do. just follow the directions carefully and you will have no issues. Radios are personal preference BUT newer WM6.1 roms need the newer 1.65.xx.xx radios but again there is a whole thread explaining this also
enjoy your toy!
wow someone who posted with concern before bricking the device..and he did his homework as well he could before hand CHEERS!! As you'll quickly learn most noobs flash first, brick, then want the xda community to fix it without them having to do anything(like read). So I applaud you.
Heh. Thanks liquidfork. I'm pretty big into Linux and open source, so I know to read as much as I can find first and then attempt.
So, I did successfully flash ROMeOS 4.1 on my device after putting HardSPL 3.56 on it and the newest radio (forget the version offhand). It's blazing fast now. But, a small problem: When I try to restore my sprite backup, the phone will start up with the "bios" screen, but it just sits there and never boots. Now, Sprite backup complains that it needs a .sbu file that I can get from their website. I see nothing on their website about .sbu files. Is there any way to restore my stuff, or am I hosed? I do miss the HTC today screen and some of the utilities I had. I'd hate to have to roll back to an "official" ROM for this.
Thanks again for your help guys, this community is great.
Anyone? I would like to avoid reinstalling everything if at all possible. Thanks.

You cannot restore Sprite Backups from ROM to ROM. It is designed to restore your files and settings when doing a hard reset of reflashing the same ROM.
Sprite Backup does have a ROM Upgrade feature, but I've yet to see it work.
Through experimentation, I figured as much. That's too bad. I've come to find that while the ROMeOS is quite a bit faster than the WM6 that came on the device, it is very spartan. I've gotten used to the little gadgets in the HTC roms, particularly their today screen, some of the settings, and some of the utilities. I think I'm going to flash with a shipped WM6.1 from HTC and see how it works, I will try doing a Sprite backup restore on that as well, but I'm not holding my breath that it will work. Is there a huge difference in speed between the shipped HTC ROM and a cooked ROM? Better yet, is there a cooked ROM that gives most or all of the HTC functionality but is faster?

The perfect ROM is like the perfect beer. Everyone has their own opinions and taste.
However... I will say this. It is better to find a fast rom and then search these forums for the appropriate cabs for those applications you can't do without.
Not only will you only have the ops you want, but I have all those cabs on a secure digital card... then you use sashimi to load them when you perform a flash...
Because once you have done a flash... you will be doing more...
As they say on the TV about golf weenies... these guys are good... and there is always a new ROM that looks marvy.

True, I can see that now. I think the main thing I'm missing that I can't live without is being able to click in the upper right on the today screen and stop running processes from there. Especially since with ROMeOS 4.1, going into the task manager has locked up my phone twice now. If I can figure out how to get that functionality back, I think I can live with the rest. Is that functionality in the HTC home CAB that is in the extended cabs for ROMeOS? I'll probably install the CAB anyhow just to see.
Download and install this cab I've attached.
Heres a link to AllTheWays 4Shaered pages he's one of the mods on here. It has all the applications you're looking for.

Hi Folks,
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get burnt asking this, but I can't find the answer anywhere.....help!
I've flashed planty of ROMs before (and really appreciate the effort from the folks cookin' 'em) but never 'cooked' my own.
I've got an Orange Branded TyttnII, so I tried the official 6.1 ROM they released recently. I actually really like it and it performs well.
There are a few really annoying things about it though. Like the version of HTCs homescreen they ship doesnt have the music tab, there are apps they install that I'm never going to use etc. etc.
So, I'd love to take the original update (or RUU_signed.nbh from it), pull it apart and make it my own.
I've read and watched everything I can find about cooking and I've done nothin but turn my brain to useless mush....
Please, could someone tell me (or point me in the right direction to find) how I can take this RUU_signed.nbh and rip things (packages, I guess?) out?
Thanks in advance!
