I have an exec, and to be fair I have not had any problems with it as yet, however I notice that it is not as quick as the 2i that I had previously. Is thier a way of speeding up the processor or overclocking it? (on the 2i it had a turbo mode)
Search the forums, and you will find out how to remove the O2 junk, and about xcpuscaler (which can OC to 624mhz)

Hi,
I have two Wizards here - one is mine and one belongs to a friend of mine (bought it for her here in Holland).
Anyway, she speaks English only and therefore I flashed the ROM with an I-Mate K-Jam rom (the latest WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship from club imate).
Both devices come from T-Mobile Netherlands. They are exact copies apart from the ROM.
Oh, I also disabled the Anti-Virus of the K-Jam and removed Skype.
So... which one works better???
.

Well, I ran SPB benchmark on both of them and the one with the K-Jam rom gives better results - however they are marginallly better.
In terms of stability and browsing speed - it seems like the K-JAM browses the internet better and quicker and it also didn't crashe while browsing - while the T-Mobile device did crash twice while browsing the net over wifi - this is quite noticable.
So... my bottom line seems to show that the I-Mate K-Jam rom seems a bit better and a tad faster.
I'll continue to play with the phones and let you know if I have any more results...
hi all,
im a newbie so if i offend anyone, i apologise for my innocence. I have purchased the xda mini s. From reading all the forums would you say the k-jam rom is the best out of all the other roms? Do you think its a wise choice to flash the phone to the k-jam for better results?
Thanks
personally I wouldn't. the xda mini s rom has very few if any bugs reported and I have read some posts from people who have flashed to kjam and been disappointed.
(the story for the tmobile rom is not so good though as they seem to have disabled stuff)
Set your Mini S up in BASIC mode and remove the O2 shortcuts from Windows\Startup and you'll have a nice stable device.
Hi in my vario startup there is something called
elatepushservice
sddaemon
zzinstall
what are these? ok to remove?!
hmmm...
Lisa...
RAM total is same with this ROMs? 44MB?
I think are ROMs that have about 50MB RAM total, but I think are old...
The latest O2 Plus for Magician was version 1.7. It is very useful for switching profiles.
Is the version of O2 Plus still 1.7 in the current release O2 Mini S (or even O2 Atom) :?: If it is newer, could O2 Mini S owner share the files here or in the ftp? I think not only for non O2 Wizard users, other PPC Phone users will also be benifit from it!
Thanks in advance.
Wow, that's a pretty neat app. I'd LOVE to have a shortcut for switching profiles. Especially "call forwarding". I call forward every time I come home and turn it off when I leave. It's a pain since I don't have a reliable signal near my house.
hello there
wouldnt it be wise if we downgraded jasjar into wm2003se , and enjoy the speed of a <20mb rom (is such a rom available) ?????
I was thinking about the same issue couple of days ago, I really beleive that it would have been much faster and more stable.
WM5 is still new, and till now they are trying to improve its performance, and I hope they will do it soon.
If there is a WM2003 Rom for my Imate Jasjar I will be the first one to downgrade till I find a reliable WM5 ROM.

r u serious
r u serious :?: :!:
obviously there are problems with WM5, as it is a relatively new OS; but
despite all its downfalls it is still a more advanced OS than WM2003 - e.g.: the fact that information is retained in memory even after the battary has 'died'.
besides, particularly due to the changes in the memory infrastracture, is the Universal capable of handling the old OS?
- it was supposedly designed around the new OS.
the lack of a backup software is a killing mistake in my opinion, (off battery) is not the only way data can be lost. slowness is not excusable...
i demand a win2003se rom for jasjar coz selling it on ebay with a 100$ is the sole ulternative
I've just purchased a T-Mobile UK MDA Vario branded handset along with the bundled CoPilot 6 Live GPS kit.
So far I've been frustrated with its sluggish behaviour all round, and a multitude of problems.
I've currently got the OMPA over clocking app running which improves the Co-Pilot launch time a lot.
However, I keep reading that an AKU2 ROM update is needed. However I cannot find *anywhere* (not just this site) an explination of exactly what improvements this ROM makes to the usability of the HTC Wizard.
I'm not interested in new features such as push email right now. I just want to be able to use the phone without it pausing for a minute and getting confused with too many button presses.
As my MDA Vario is only a few days old I'm told it can be returned if I just can't use it. Because of this I don't want to install any hacked/other network AKU2 ROM at present.
Can any body tell me or point me to some details about changes in this AKU2 ROM update please?
First off, search the forums for info on AKU2 ROM's, each of the ROM's ends up witha discussion of the good the bad and the ugly.
That said, the TMO UK Ship ROM is a pile of nasty stuff, slow, buggy and prone to crashing into one of two states (either the regular reboot or the device is on the lights are flashing but it won't wake up, receive calls or receive email). I'm stuck with it at the moment as I need to run the blackberry software.
The AKU2 ROM's are more stable, don't crash the device when using an SD card, the radio ROM's are faster and connect/reconnet to networks faster and fundamentally better (think Windows XP then XP SP2).
All of the AKU2 ROM's have subtle differences but for my money, if you dont want/need all of the cellular provider branding etc then I'd go with the latest QTEK SHip ROM (check the ftp site). It's easy enough to configure the GPRS, MMS etc for TMo after you've installed the ROM.
Generally, if you're new and it's a new device, read the forum postings, read the Wiki - it's all there though you may have to do some digging around. If all else fails post a query but be wary of posting questions that are on the forums as you'll be begging for a ton of abuse at using people's time to save you effort looking...
Don't give up on the device, once you move to AKU2 and away from that dodgy TMo 1.6 ROM you'll be much happier.
I spent ages reading post after post and not really getting a clear bullet list of what's what. Basically I wanted to know if the sluggish response from the phone would ever be improved.
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaMiniSoftware.aspx gives a fairly good (to me) break down of the features in the AKU2 ROM update.
Hi,
Anyone notice that writing using Atom Life is very terrible. Every time I write, the strokes appear very slowly and they got linked together. I notice this as when I was using Xda II mini (Magician), there is no such problem.
Try opening Notes and write using Ink mode. Try doing it naturally like you are writing on a piece of paper. You see that the handwriting is gibberish.
I went over to O2 repair centre and tried other Atom Life and they all show the same problem.
If anyone out there having the same problem, please do call O2 Hotline and report this. The more users reporting this, the faster they'll fix it.
Thanks.
Yeap I noticed this too. Not able to draw in notes is a smal thing for me. The bigger problem, for me and many others, is that this is a problem for the transcriber too, which really sucks. I also have an Atom Exec, and the situation's same.
Gee... I wonder why nobody complained about this (I checked with the O2 helpdesk and they confirmed that they never receive any complaints about this).
Anyway, I hope everybody out there call O2 helpdesk to get them fix this. Now, I can't even use the handwriting recognition program (need to write very very slowly) and is forced to use only keyboard.
The more people complain about this, the faster they will fix this.
By the way, don't bother sending them email at www.seeo2.com, they won't reply. The best way is to call.
Thanks for the help (if you managed to spend some time to call them).
i face this using Dopod 838pro too ...

I've tried my friend's Dopod 838 Pro and I found out that the problem with Atom Life is even worst. Dopod 838 Pro is a little slow (compared to Xda II mini) but it is acceptable.
I got a call from O2 few days ago. He told me that the reason why writing with Atom Life is not as wonderful as other PDA products are
1) It uses the ROM as temporary memory (same with other new PDA with WM5)
2) It's ROM is 1GB (this is the reason why it is sooo slow)
Wow! This is great!
