Since Msoft doesn't publish their AKUs...
Last year I compared different build ROM contents (with different AKUs) and when I was making new ROM I have "transplanted' some of the newer files from ROM with newer AKU to the ROM base with lower AKU (since I didn't want to cook ROM using untested and possibly unstable base, but I wanted few things there that weren't available with older AKU - and it worked).
I'd like to make a complete AKU in .cab file, so it could be used to update basically any older ROM build to the latest AKU version, if possible of course.
I'm thinking of AKU1.6.1 for WM6.1 (which is and most likely will be the very last AKU for WM6.1).
Has anyone tried to do something like this?
TIA

Dear All,
I would like to ask what is the latest WM2005 ROM version? and is it the best ROM? if not then what is the best version? I have found some on buzzdev.net but I don't know because this my first unofficial upgrade.
I have XDA II with loader 1.01.
Thanks a Lot,
they are all based on the same core rom with improvements
newer versions == more improvements
other then that it's all about how big a ramdisk they are installed
hi rudegar,
sorry, but I must disagree.
they are not based on the same core...
and there's much more differencies, than just size of RAMdisk.
take care
buzz
and what the difference between rom kitchen n rom?? i've read the post by buzz in buzzdev.net, there is 40mb in rom kitchen n 20mb in rom.. what type should i use??
thanx
Updates are good

I agree with Buzz.
I think that windows mobile 5.0 is based on windows CE 5.0 architecture and there can be updates to both and the size of a ram disk is not that important as long as a device is capable of running your desired apps without running out of program memory. A newer roms is likely to run better and be more compatible with apps but can still contain bugs. I think that I got more performance from reg editing and ocing that upgrading from 2003se to 5.0 but i always try a new rom.
Buzz do you use ms voice command and any idea on the problem it has with AKU 3.2?
p.s. a rom kitchen is where roms are cooked!
"I think that windows mobile 5.0 is based on windows CE 5.0 architecture"
well we all agree on that one
the place that buzz set to streigth was when i said that
all windows mobiles were based on the same leaked 2005 rom
What I have seen is ROMs based on AKU 2, AKU 2.3, and AKU 3.2. of course each with it's own personal customization and may be some tweaks for performace. From the experiance what is the main differances between AKU versions and what is the best customization from the features and the performace point of view?
I have tried all the wm05 roms here but i got nothing but the sad thought that i don't have a compatible wm5 device. All of them have many flaws and none of them work correctly or as fast as they should be.. not even 03se. After many upgrades and downgrades i found out that the best one is the qtek rom and nothing else. It wasn't suposed to work on wm5 so don't upload versions with bugs and so... try to get a version that will not move slow, will have all the original programs, all the original programs will work and let the user install whatever he wants, don't make roms with preinstalled programes because that only makes them work slow .
Try AKU 3.2 ROM as they r latest and the stable one .
agree with you. stable and fast.
With all of the new rom's available; Which of the newer rom's is the best and most stable today?
The RUU-Prophet-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1
The NEW LvsW Edition: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721 (AKU2.3) - Stable&Fast!
The WWE_Prophet_WM5_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28 (AKU2.3.1)
The PDAmobiz update: Final Rom - Dopod 818 Pro WM5 AKU2.3
The PDAmobiz update: Final Rom - Dopod 818 Pro WM5 AKU3.2
The NEW BETA ROM: AKU3.3-Jester-b1
or something Else?
It's a metter of preferance really i would say
The WWE_Prophet_WM5_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28 (AKU2.3.1)
But that said i using
The NEW BETA ROM: AKU3.3-Jester-b1
cos i dont mind the bugs
its fast but wont charge my device
For audio
I think the best ROM for overall performance would be LsvW's 2.3.1.
But for bluetooth A2DP performance, i'm using qteks latest shipped release (AKU. 2.2) with the A2DP patch found in the extROM packed with above mentioned rom made by LsvW.
Works fine for me. Not changing anything untill WM6 is released.
mixedup
so there isn't any rom update stable and fast?
THERE IS NO PERFECT SOLUTION!
Each version has it's own problems, try each one at your own risk.
I decided to stay with the "latest" official ones.
Plus there are no really big improuvements overall from AKU 2.3 to AKU 3.x.....
My opinion, anyway.
Hi there,
Anyone knows about any cleanest ROM with latest updates (OS patches, HTC patches) and no other stuff in it?
I would go for Alex's UltraCLEAN ROM but it looks like the OS is too old comparing to Helmi's/Dutty's/Schap's ones.
So far the best I ever used is Helmi's Clean ROM, no custom splashscreens, no custom graphics, just completely clean ROM (I appreciate any performance tweak, not bloody graphics )
But it looks like it's out of date these days...
Any hints?
Thanks,
Gabriel
ROM OS versions
To be clear:
Duttys New years Rom 2k8 Fixed [DualTouch v2] TouchFLO: v5.2.1933 build 18533.dutty
Dutty's SupaLite Rom v5.2.1948 build 20000.dutty
Alex.HTC.156.UC4.ROM v5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2
Schap's WM6 Pro 4.30 ROM v5.2.1948 build 18548.0.7.0
Helmi kaiser aku.0.7.0_04_clean v5.2.1978 build 18578.0.7.0
See the difference?
Hmm isn't Helmis the latest OS version rather than the most outdated?!?!

Ha! You see? you got the point
How can he have such build (acting as a newest one) and be almost 3 months out of date?
Any fake going around?
FWIW, I stripped and released the Folders & OEM packages from the HTC ROM found in this thread.
thats not exactly how is works
Its not always the newest builds that are the best
But the builds usually is ported from other devices, like polaris, touch dual or w/e.
I have portet the build in my kaiser to herald, (norwegian) and I portet polaris os to herald (wwe) its the same build, I duplicated excatly same edits, removals of files...did exactly the same setup. But there is a very noticeable diffrence in speed and stability on the two ports, even though it has same apps, same setup, same os build.
I dunno if this explain anything to anyone
But do not make the mistake beliving newer os version is better.
cheers
IIRC (and I could be completely wrong here) the 5.2.1978 build was a fake.
Something to consider with these build versions is that not all of them are built for the Kaiser - some of them have been ported from other releases for other models of device.
Some people only believe in using builds that were intended for the Kaiser, others think that there are benefits from using new versions.
As with all things in software, with fixes come more bugs - newer revisions might have one thing fixed, but another three broken. You never can tell.
Beyond ROM versions, there's also software versions which can be even more significant. For example, we're seeing roms with a much newer version of the camera software now.
So there's an awful lot to consider really.
Alex 1.6 rom is using the most updated at&t rom which should include all the basic patches from bluetooth hot fix to the other stuff. If you want newest NetCF on there, you can cook that in. Many of those roms have been tweaked out, so using Alex's rom, I think is the cleanest. A little bit more understanding of these version numbers would help you understand more about these roms.

Absolutely agree with you itje. The latest HTC OEM apps also go a long way in helping you determine how "latest" a ROM is. CE OS Build alone shows only part of the picture...
hi,
i am new to all this, but i am looking for the latest rom for an imate jamin, which is (from what i have read) a htc prophet.
i am interested in putting the latest (unmodified) version of wm6 if possible, i have got a modified version on there atm, but i dont know if it is my mind playing tricks on me, but it just doesnt seem to work correctly.
otherwise what is the latest version of wm5
this is the first time of me modifying a phone, but i do know the basics of flashing devices, as i have been modifying psp for a few years now.
many thanks
massiveoni
There is no 'official' WM6 ROM, as imate etc. have not bothered to create one. There are many WM6 (and WM6.1) ROMs floating around the forums, but these are modified versions of other phone ROMs (for exampl, korand 3.1 is based on a Kaiser ROM). This can lead to problems with the running of the ROM.
The FTP server has original (shipped) WM5 ROMs on it here or here.
hi dear
hello from this here can i use portugese version to upgrade to wm5 on my jamin?
Im looking for a clean os, preferably CE 5.2.19400 (Build 19199.1.0.0).
I want to have a clean base OS to start adding my fixes, applications and tools. I have tried to disect many of the "vanilla" versions from people, but even their clean versions still include a lot of garbage I dont want and is almost impossible to clean. I would rather start from a totally clean os and build up from there.
Thanks,
jay
I would also like to know this.
further, how can one be sure that a 'clean' os (or any freely downloadable rom for that matter) is free from software that snoops on you, etc?
Here is the 19400 dump
http://www.sendspace.com/file/kdincu
I wonder, is a Hermes dump usable to cook a Wizard ROM?
And you mention, "CE 5.2.19400 (Build 19199.1.0.0).". Is that newer or older than the custom ROMS that are advertised as WM 6.1 build 19209? I mean, does that mean CE 5.2.19209 build xxxxxx or CE 5.2.xxxxx build 19209?
Cheers!
CE 5.2.19400 (Build 19199.1.0.0) means OS from new build, XIP from old build.
However there are some fake ROMs that with modified OS version, this may be the case (Because official 19209 ROM is AKU 1.0.2, how come this ROM is still AKU1.0.0?)
ROMs for other devices can be used in Wizard after porting (at least OS(SYS+OEM) porting must be done). You may use XIP from other Wizard ROMs, but will show your old XIP build in the About screen.
Thanks for the explanation, it's clear now
