The Best Rom

I have just go my xda back from o2 as the screen failed and dont know what rom to use.
its a o2 uk xda
i have had dev rom 1.1 and 1.2
and ppc 2003 4.0.5
but dont know what to use for the best.
i play music movies lots of games and the most important thing is that my TOMTOM is 100% and all working
anyone offer any ideas?

Hi. i've been through many versions too, went back to original rom, found it to be too limited, especially once you are familiar with wm2003.
I then upgraded to 40005 a month ago. I also play many videos/music/recording stuff, esp when I am stuch in trafic . Found 400005 to be real stable . You c that download from jeffs rom kitcken.

thanks for that so you are saying ppc 2003 .05? does that work okay with tomtom ( i used this rom but then screen broke so some how managed to get origianl rom back on for warrenty repair)

Warning about Wisbar Advance

Just a warning for anybody with a Jam or any mobile PDA..
Do NOT install wisbar advance, it's one of the most popular pocket PC programs, but it actually stops the phone from ringing after a few minutes and you cannot receive incoming calls.
They are currently developing a new version especially for mobile PDA's.
Just thought id let you know as it caused me a lot of problems until I found it was wisbar causing the problem.

Only the phone edition of wisbar, in alpha stage, has this problem. :wink:

Hi Jacoch, that is incorrect.
The mobile edition is being developed because of the problem with wisbar advance on mobile PDA devices.
Wisbar advance was meant for PDA not PDA running windows mobile.
I purchased wisbar 2 and it had that problem.
Wisbar mobile edition has lots of problems too as its in alpha.
If you have a jam, feel free to install wisbar advance 2 and open then phone app, and make a call, then try to receive one your phone simply wont ring.

it not happen with standard Phone program & happen with some Phone Extra program (like Intelli Dialer....)

I noticed the same.. I've tried Wisbar Advance 2.0.1.9 on my T-Mobile MDA Compact (without any of the extended rom stuff like intellidialer installed) and it won't ring while running wisbar.. The phone will turn itself on upon receiving a call but there is no ringtone and the phone application doesn't show..

Exactly the same with mine.
The creator of the wisbar 2 is aware of the problem and thus created the mobile edition.
Its obvious really that it would cause problems, because it wasnt created with phone calls in mind.
It will run perfectly on a normal pocket pc

hey guys i am usin xda II installed wisbar advance only caz i wanted to use the aqua mac theme ne ways...was very disappointed to find out that it doesnt ring and blah blah.....but last nite what happed was i left my xda II running in wisbar mode and the phone was locked and guess what in the morning it started ringing it self when i got up it was askin me for a password as it gets locked after 5 mins and by the time i unlocked it call was cancelled and i could see the miss call on top.... and the thing was actually ringing for a surprise.... !!
regards
jeetz

I use IcBar (it is based on wisbar api). I think it creats some of delay when someone calls me.
am I wrong??

UPDATE:
Chris over at wisbar has now released a beta version that is very stable and the phone rings, you must download the beta version from the forums. Make sure you choose the WM2003 SE download.
Along with Pocket Plus it's the best program for pocket PC. I love it.
I purchased SWdeluxe theme, expensive but wow my phone looks simply amazing!!

ok its just damn great...... !! awesome news.... !! buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... it has some minor graphic issues....BUTTTTTTT i dont mind that as long as i can use my aqua mac theme along with my xda II RINGING !!!

Hi Maverick!
About the download of the stabil beta, where do you find that one?
Got a link?
I tried the "phone edition alpha", but those were VERY instable on my S100.
Thanks, Hejko
Edit: Or, were your copy the same one as I tested?

Hejko, go to http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1425 and download the version for wm2003se its very stable.

The latest beta version solve this problem ..
Get it there ] http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1425
works perfectlly !!

Ok I'm fairly confused about what Wibar Advance Software I should be downloading.
When on the Lakeridge Website there is a section for Wisbar PPC Phone Edition, but the product listed there is relatively ol, 12-04, and is called an alpha.
Minotavrs,
The Beta you provide the link for does not indicate that this Wisbar Advance is applicable to the Phone Edition, however, I took your advice and I have installed it on my JAM. So far no big issues. I called myself and the phone rang. I noticed when in the Phone Pad Program that you cannot exit from the phone-pad unless you hit the end-call button.
Besides that, at least thus far, this Wisbar Avance (isbaradv2.20112.xscale), appears to work great with my JAM.
So far I'm very impressed. I have never used wisbar, because I have always had a PPC-PE devices and Wisbar would never work with these types of devices.
So-is the Wisbar Advance 2 that I list above made for PPC-PE devices or is the new Advanced 2 Wisbar application just providing extra support for PPC-PE devices?

O2 Plus is a today plugin by O2, you can have call forward profiles, sound profiles, easy task manager and other many convenience features.
there is an info, O2 Plus will release from their official site, but no exactly date

I already seen it in thai PDA review website.

I have access to the o2 website but i havent seen any information on this product.. does anyone have a link where i might find more info?? thanks

Bye, Peter

02 plus 1.5
02 plus 1.4 has a bug.. has been announced by o2..
download the 1.5 below
cheers

Doesn't work on my T-Mobile Compact, after installation I get the message that it will work on O2 devices only. And indeed, it just sits in the Windows folder and even when I launch it there I get the same message. It shows up in the settings for the Today screen, but when checked does not come forward on the screen. When anyone knows what to do about this ( apart from buying an XDA mini ) I'll be glad to hear it.
Edit: Never mind, I already found the cracked version. Worked well, I especially liked the profile choices integrated in the Today Plug-in. But too few tabs for programs and such, so I'll stick with PZP and SPB Pocket Plus for now. I'd rather have the two apps integrated in one, as O2 Plus does, but only two tabs is not nearly enough for all the shortcuts I want in there. I like it that you can add extra tabs in Pocket Plus, so I'll stick with two seperate apps for now.

what is the bug in the 1.4 as i have a UK XDA2s and the 1.5 says its not for my device, so i am still using the v1.4 that dose not check what device its being installed on
Thans
JOhn

anything new in 1.5?
is there a cracked version out ?

i am using 1.4 on xda II and have no problems would'nt mind using 1.5 but only if it would'nt give that freaky error but 1.4 is k no probz wimme....

NEW Windows Messenger Live !

Seems like quite a few of you are interested on the new windows messenger live, so i decide to post the file here. This is still the beta version, but it's near complete and no major bug reported.
Once you install it, it will import all the contacts on your Messenger Live to your PDA contact, some people might not prefer this but there is no option to disable it so use it on your own risk.
Apart from that, this version is much much better than pocket MSN, it support far more function such as file transfer and icon...etc.
So enjoy !
p.s. i seems to have a problem of uploading the file, so here is a link:
http://www.badongo.com/file/2528811

Thanks ! I'm Live

i get this massage "Username already taken".
can you send me this file to my email
[email protected]
if the file is EXE can you change to TEXT file.
thanks.

Thanks Tim

Looks like mine has gone today as well...after entering name and password it just goes back to the today screen.
Damn.

The cab file created by me only has the newest WLM version which can be found on some new WM6 roms... Nothing special. If its laggy blame MS LOL
Was the old one also laggy? Cause it kinda uses a lot of resources.

Hi guys,
perhaps I should have read this forum before deleting all my contactlist (msn accounts) in my outlook.
after a sync my msn live app refused to start up.
after deleting the msn live and a hard reset. I'd tried to reinstall it again, but this time I couldn't get trough the installation. It says installation failed. even after a hard reset!
Is it familiar to someone?
very strange that the problem remains even after a hard reset..

Runs perfectly fast on the WM6 ROM! I suppose the newer OS comes with better optimizations than WM5 AKU 3.5!

No sorry Mahmood. I'm running WM6 on HTC Universal, but have noticed a very big increase in speed since WM5. It is even faster than the Athena!! Everything is instantaneous.

Latest WM5 ROM? do help

Hi All,
I just brought back my uni after a few months of semi-coma (i will release the details shortly) and now i would love to get my hands on the latest WM5 ROM from any carrier as i want to test my Uni and see if it's truly workable again. I want to use WM6 but too many and not sure which I want to use with issues.
Do pass the info and link if possible.
TQ and regards,
techx

Asking for a Rom (any rom) is a risky business, it usually depends on your needs/tastes, but you can have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376771

Hi Kecido,
I know it's not right to request but I should have asked, what is the latest original ROM uodate released by the carriers at the moment. Was it Imate or TMobile or Orange?
TQ and regards,
techx
btw, i don't like WM6 cos cooked ROM has too many issues.

Now the risky businees is mine, because I'm not such a geek to answer that question, anyway, for universal as far as I know (I can invite anyone else to tell me I'm wrong, please, tell me I'm wrong, er, mmm, just a "lapsus") it should be T-mobile (akku 3.3 I think), and source of the one I pointed for you (better ask to the modder).
Anyway, read and have fun.

Actually I find whe "what's the best WM6 rom for me?" posts annoying. WM5 roms are few and far between these days as most seem to want Wm6 even though it's not 100% functional. So yes in my opinion the question IS valid.
The latest official WM5 rom is the T-Mobile AKU 3.3 available from T-Mobile support websites. The link in the post above is a team effort Matrix Final rom created by myself and SDHC card support added by Bennyen.
There were some issues I didn't like in the original T-Mobile rom like the GPRS connection had to be forced to on and the various nag screens about unsigned apps and the god awful hideous colour schemes that T-Mobile insist on using etc. Hence I developed the rom that suited my needs - I use my phone for GPRS internet use quite heavily so I biased it towards that - and shared it just incase anyone else liked it. I am not saying install my rom. I am saying try out a range of them and find one that suits you as it's you that knows what your requirements are
Hope this helps.
Psi

Thanks for the info PsiDoc
Hi Psidoc,
Thank you for the reply and I will try, once i get my Uni back from the dead (again, yes i know)
Hope Uni comes back to realty soon.
TQ again.
Techx

Oh dear...
what did you do to it?

Me too (but O2 UK Xda Exec latest rom from O2)
As the original poster (I did not want to duplicate threads) but I am looking for the latest O2 UK ROM for the xda exec. The one on buzzdev.net does not work (i get no errors whatsoever but when it is finished and I do hard reset, press O then the screen goes multicolored and pixeled and nothing happenes).
Anyone has this ROM, it is not on O2 site anymore.
Thanks in advance.
