Best Windows Mobile 2005 For Xda 2

Hi guys!
I own an Xda II and I'm thinking of upgrading it to WM 2005.
After having a look around I'm a bit confused as I'm sure are a lot of other people because there's so many different versions of WM5 to choose from on this forum that I don't know which one to go for.
Could someone please recommend the best and most stable version of WM5?
Thanks a million.

Hi Rizwan
Could not agree more, I'm also confused as to what ROM is the best....
Eg, whats the fastest and most stable ROM out of the bunch?
Cheers
Fudge

well, its same with me a long time ago..
don't worry guys.. after several looking in this page, there's a several rom for WM2005 which is :
1. Helmi AKU3.5
2. C_Shekhar Rom AKU 3.50C (the newest rom)
3. other (like virgy, etc)
In my Opinion, you should try c_shekhar rom. its very nice looking (crossbow theme), more stable, quite fast..
hope you find the suitable rom.

I was reluctant to respond to this but some how I find myself compiled to post my comment. I have XDA2 and I am using llbasha rom. All the roms have the same core structure except of adding/removing some freebies and here is my latest version that has been tested and verified by independent users (special thanks to twistedconnections and maslowyk). You can download it from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/12061070/727297c0/llbasha-WM5-AKU35pp16c3R.html

Xplore or Core 2.0

Hi!
Is there a chance to port the Wizard Xplore or Core 2.0 to the Prophet?
Mattias

wizard roms are possible to be ported to Prophet
because ALMOST all Prophet roms are ported from WIZARD.

Hi, yes its possible. I Pm'ed Faria from wizard forum, and he wanted to get the latest WM6 prophet rom, so that he could make a rom kitchen for us (his current rom kitchen is prophet compatible but needs an OS.nb from prophet). Am still trying to decide which os.nb i should send him..

Please send him the last Fantastic Rom. I think Faria can clean it very fast and this Rom have all Driver/Devices full running! Smart have Problem with IR and other thinks ...

I'm using now Fantastic Mobiz XBow v1.1i since a while and it's more or less stable.
I would like to have the following ROM:
- with big storage (extrom merged to windows storage)
- no voice Command, marketplace, adobe acrobat, cyberon dialer
....
-> a clean ROM for the Prophet!

Is the ROM in english?

yes, runs smooth.

I'm not able to write to the ext. ROM using Fantastic Mobiz XBow v1.1i. Is this bug solved in PDAViet ROM or is the ext. ROM merged to the windows file system?
BR Mattias

Please any one! WM6
Can anyone explain / tell me how to correct the issue. Seems to be persistant on all WM6 roms installed on my Prophet. After a few hrs after installation and use phone tends to go into like a sleep mode, I don't receive calls or text msgs. I have noticed that the signal strength goes down to 2 bars & when this starts to occur. I have been informed by callers that calls go straight into voice mail & text are never delivered.
The only way I have been able to resolve this is by resetting the phone, clearing out memory / goin in/out of programs or going back to the original 2.20 rom.
IPL:2.10
SPL:2.20
GSM:2.61.21
OS:2.20

I recommend Tomal 8.5
See in settings-system-memory how much RAM you have to determine if it´s 128 or 64Mb (the normal Universal comes with 64Mb)
On the link I gave you you´ll find all you need to know
Good luck,

Tomal 8.5
Hello, Bigboss111888, Welcome to the forum.
I'm very agree with Orb3000.
Try ROM WM 6.1 - Tomal 8.5 Standard 64MB.
If U have read wiki, and U have courage and dare to take the risk, U can also update your Radio to 1.15. (this radio version is ok with Tomal 8.5) If not, Ur previous version of radio is fine.
After upgrade, For MMS - U can install Dutty Arcsoft MMS 5.0.27.43.VGA.146
For Java - U can install Cloudyfa EsmertecJbed Midlet
For Voice command - U can install Cyberon Voice Speed Dial 1.2
Hope this can help.
For the files, U can search in this forum... Good Luck.

Hope this what U mean and hope this can help...
Hi, BigBoss111888.
Try Total Commander Program (Disskette Icon with CE write on it)
After the program opened, choose :
Show --> Two Window Mode
and then choose Two window mode and vertical aligment.
Then there are 2 windows, up and below.
Then choose different directory in these 2 windows.
U can drag file between window, it then will pop up menu to choose : copy / move ...
Good Luck, Sorry for bad english..

need WM6.5 ~28mb ram

Hi, first of all sorry for next "what rom is best?" question, I know there are lot of that topics.
I need fast WM6.5 ROM with around ~28/29mb of free RAM on 64mb Uni .
Good if it will be one of Beta builds but probalby it's impossible to get that amount on only 64mb RAM. So one choice is that with bars placed same like in WM6.1 and older. Must be WWE lang.
Thanks

I don´t think you´ll find a 6.5 ROM with such free RAM (but if you do, please let me know )
Your best option will be on 6.1 with thingonaspring lotsa RAM V1.1
Have a look here for the available Universal ROM´s:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5020953&postcount=4

I've seen 6.5 ROM with QuickMenu on it and it was probably Luca16's ROM that had 27mb ram free but can't find it now I think it was that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479465 .
Already I use goldrake WM6.1 because it have much free Ram too, battery life is good (on LotsaRAM battery drained much faster ) and is stable. Maybe I will be back to it but now I want some graphics oriented ROM :] WM6.5 is pretty for that

ROM that Win_XP posted is very nice and fast too. Battery life for me is even batter than on Goldrake's ROM but he's WM6.1 is nice too. I'm coming to try luca's ROM now

thank for info ... i try to download pdaViet right now

Hello,
I'm downloading pdaviet rom now, but i can't understand nothing from pdaviet.net!! It's for G3 64mb universal?? It's in English? Some image caps?
I'm a little scared...

hallo gcp72, don't worry, it's in english
my uni is G4, so i think it will work for G3 too.
i'm not a rom expert but i think this rom is similiar with luca15thebig but more clean, no chome and no titanium.
i has a little problem here, the flash light for camera is keep turning on, but i think it's my hardware problem
other thing is running well, thanks to pdaViet

Hi all,
Can any one show me how to remove some applications in Rom WM 6.5?

Uninstall them?!

I think he meant how to remove apps that are default in cooked ROM included by cook not installed by him.

Ah, oh I see.
You can't remove apps from a ROM.
If you don't want to see them, just delete the shortcut from "\Windows\Start Menu\" folder.
The only way to remove apps from a ROM is to re-cook it yourself. If the cook supplies their kitchen, this is the easier way. Take a deep breath before you think about cooking
