HTC Charmer, which in all fairness has as much in common with the Wizard as it does the Magician if not more, anyway...
Anyone know of any alternative ROM sources of tweaked ROM's off other devices, not happy with T-Mob rom, going from T-Mob to Qtek on my Wizard made it loads faster so in theory any Rom is likely to be quicker than the Molasses fast T-Mob one.

I would like to have people's feedback on this please cause at the moment i am using the O2 Asia Rom and it is slow and crap.
I have a O2 sim card and am in the UK so which rom would be the best to use....
I think the i-mate plays faster than the o2, and the t-mobile is really poor i think...
im going to use the German Extended O2 Cab's to get the O2 look, but just wondering if people found a different rom better in anyway.

Use SPB Benchmark on a plain rom & test the different versions & see which one is best. Should be pretty easy, maybe time consuming.
My guess: as long as you ditch the ext-rom it doesn't make a big difference which rom is used. So I stick to TMO's 1.13WWE, which is still the most recent.

After trying the 1.12 and 1.13 both rom and radio, i've stick with the last TMO rom with 1.12 radio, it's the best and the most stable setup i've had :wink:
i never suggest to someone to buy/have it.
firstly i have/had a magician and i am/was good with it. then i decided to have a charmer because i have a magician and the charmer is successor of magician.
and charmer is nerve racking slow. i cannot believe my eyes .the successor charmer is slower than magician.
and now i own a htc hermes.
htc charmer was for me the wrong bad experience.
never buy it.
and what you say people
man, it's all about system aou are using.
if you use t-mobile bradned piece of ****, forget about speed. t-mobile will never produce fast roms. the main and only feature of their roms is that they are terribly filled with pink colour - nothing less, nothing more.
charmer could be fast also - if you talk about wm5, use "qtek stle debranded rom".
if you thing abut wm6 - try essentials 000.2 i'm making - fastest (working) rom seen on charmer...
HELLO!!! I'm about to buy a new PPC so I need an advice! Which one? Is the winner T-mobile MDA or T-mobile Wing? Some say Wing is too slow? Is that truth because they have almost the same hardware (OMAP850...)? Please HELP!!!
I had an MDA before and I prefer my Herald over it any day. The specifications might be the same but there are many small differences that make the Herald the favourable device.. If the Herald and Wing are the same then things such as the Wing being SDHC compatible, spring keyboard, stylus actually stays in the phone (one thing that pissed me off the most about the MDA, stylus got so loose after a while) are a few reasons why I prefer it. Thats just to name a few, also difference in size, Herald is much slimmer.
As for the speed, in my opinion modifying the page pool takes care of that.
Hope that helps in your decision.
I too had the MDA before the wing. I like the full length styls, spring keyboard, smaller size, and actual windows/ok keys/
get the wing, forget the mda, wing is better in every way, after you apply the 6mb pagepool patch and install battery status the wing will FLY !!!!! i love my wing... now if only they can fix the battery drain when radio off glitch...
Gotta agree with these guys. I went from an MDA, to a Pearl, to a Wing. And with the new RUU floating around for the wing, we're bound to see as much customization as we have with the wizard. I mean, take a look at viet's roms for example. And those are even without the ruu.
I went from an MDA to a Wing. It was an excellent upgrade. I love the MDA but the Wing is better in some aspects. Like Mi|enko said, customizations are bound to make an appearance. The wizard has more hacks and cracks than any other phone I've ever seen. The Wing will get it's time soon.
I just got my Wing from having a MDA. And I am very please with it. Even though the initial internal memory is lower, overall the pro's of the Wing win BIG TIME!!! Plus, native WM6.
I had the mda vario (wizard) and made some benchmark tests - and the XDA terra is even faster without overclocking than the mda.
AND it is much thinner - better for your pocket. and with the change of pagepool it is really a good device.
I love it.
Something else to consider
I got my wing in the U.S.
It has no IR!!!
And I am in serious need of hacks. T-Mobile has customized their version of WM6 so much that memory is at a real premium.
Except for WM6, I prefer my Wizard.
Hello everyone. Time to start posting in a new forum! I recently purchased the 8525 after having an 8125 that started to have issues. It hasn't arrived yet and should be here later this week.
Is the 8525 much different than the 8125? From the specs it seems a little better but nothing huge (other than a different processor and 3G, which I don't have in my area). I was happy with the 8125 (it was my first PDA phone afterall) while it was working, but the 8525 wasn't much more on eBay so I decided to get it instead. Just wondering what kind of difference I should see.
Is the 8525 fairly bug free? The 8125 had some bugs but nothing too bad and most were fixed with flashing a new ROM. I hope to find a good ROM for the 8525 once it arrives.
Looking forward to the new (used) phone!
wicked - you will love your 8525 if you liked the 8125
if you flash a good 6.1 rom (i recommend either binky11s 3.8 or CRC's stable release)
then you will notice a nice speed increase.
with 6.1 roms unless you get a stable one (like the ones i reccomended) you will notice alot of bugs as 6.1 isnt officially on the hermes.
Also, DVH's WM6.1 builds are rock solid, very fast, & clean (so u can add what app's u want). U'll like the hermes progression...

So i have a big question! what is the difference between the htc herald and the wing? is that i had seen in some roms one file for the p3450 and one 4 the wing what is the difference? And another question! What i should upgrade 4 the wing or the cingular 8525 what do you reccomend me? Does the wing feel chunky like the cingular 8525? What do you reccomend for me to buy? I now have a htc s710 but i dnt like it anymore! Thanks and please help me!
Wing and Herald are the same phone, the Wing is just T-mobile branded.
i don't think the Wing is clunky, but then again i didn't think the Treo 700/700w was either and almost everyone complains about those being bulky.
if the cingular phone you mentioned is the Tilt, then get that, because it has more memory and a faster processor. also the screen tilts, which i've found a few occasions where that would be nice.
actually, i've read that the Tilt's processor, while higher in frequency, doesn't vary much from the Wing performance-wise
It's the extra ram in the tilt/kaiser that makes the difference
oh and i should mention that the herald is quite slim for a ppc. It was one of HTC's first "fashion phones", an effort to expand beyond the uber-business clientele
The keyboard arrangements for wing and herald are slightly different. You can use the roms for either device pretty much interchangeably except at the end you need to apply the keyboard fix by Duprade.
