Prophet Newbie with lots of Questions

Hello all, and sorry for my new Thread, but i tried the Search and did not get what i want. I guess the questions are allready answered, but i didn't find a real answer anywhere.
Well, i will get a XDA Neo soon, and heared about the slow processor. But there were also people talking about performance increase with a newer AKU. Well, what is an AKU and where would i get it ? Is it in the ROM and if i have the newest German Rom installed, do i also have the newest AKU ?
If not, where would i find the newest AKU and how do i install it ?
Will it affect the orifinal ROM ?
What is the newest ROM Version for a German XDA Neo ?
What is the newest AKU ?
What updates are needed for a XDA Neo (Radio etc.) and will they elliminate the warranty ?
And something completely different, i read that you can make the extended rom visible and read/write, to use it as additional storage. Is there also a way to make the 2 storage drives one big drive ?
I had a XDA Mini before and used TomTom 6 for navigating. When i activated some POI's the 3D Performace was getting very slow. Now with the slower processor i think that the navigation even without POI's will be very slow, is somebody here who tested this ? I allready downloaded OMAPclock.exe an think about overclocking my device. Will this help ?
Well, many questions, but maybe there is someone out there who can answer one or two of them, this would be really great...
Thanks in advance...

Depends on the provider, mostly it's not. You can find the latest (AKU3.2) on this forum.

AKU's are inside the ROM updates. You can get your latest ROM on QTek, Orange etc. Depending on your provider
It will erase the device. The stuff on your SD-Card will not be touched though.
What is the newest ROM Version for a German XDA Neo? What is the newest AKU?

AKU3.2 at the moment. But it's not official!
What updates are needed for a XDA Neo (Radio etc.) and will they elliminate the warranty ?
Click to expand...

ROM's already contain: ROM, Radio ROM and External ROM (containing software and settings from your provider mostly). It's not legal to put an Orange ROM on you Neo, I believe you will lose warranty if they find out.
...you can make the extended rom visible and read/write, to use it as additional storage. Is there also a way to make the 2 storage drives one big drive ?

The Ex.ROM cannot be used as normal Storage. Another disadvantage will be that the SD-Card will not be available to use as storage in your camera app. The reason for this is that the External ROM takes that Mount number. Ander the camera can only show one.

TT6 works just fine. There is enough info on the web about this.
I allready downloaded OMAPclock.exe an think about overclocking my device. Will this help ?

This alone will not do. Since omap is back at default after your device wakes up again. I advise you to try SmartSkey. Read how to set Omap, and what does more for you
My advice concerning updating your device. READ!! and ask yourself why you want to update. Some people (like me) are just curious and take the risks!
Hope this is enough info for now

thanx again.

with the latest oficial rom it should work, it does for me.

I have the same problem, ive got the latest rom and used to be able to take photos with the 2nd camera but now the button in the cam app disapeared

So, the solution to the second camera not working problem is:
Reg editor
HKLM
Software
HTC
Camera
SDK
SupportSecondCamera change to 2 or 3 havent tried any other values, both works for me. (it was set to 1)

a sad update.. now both cameras died...

ok
i dont know if its related (still could be dodgy hardware) but i updated the hard spl to 1.22 in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2786065&postcount=439 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 and my front camera is back.. for how long lol, i do not know..
give it a try, let me know if it makes a difference

What do you know? It worked!
Thanks a lot!
I had the "old" 1.22 hardspl and kept loosing the front camera after a while too... Most of the time I didnt even noticed because I dont use it at all.
Now I have this one (and didnt even had to hard-reset the device), working on the clean black rom v1.

ok, i tried with new hardspl bur nothing. then i tried updating with the new official wwe rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464176 and i recovered at least primary camera...
i'm tempted to call HTC assistance but i'm afraid they will keep my device for a month or more... :-(

are you sure you updated the spl right? (power on device while holding in camera to double check the version).. what radio version have you got? try 1.71.09.01K radio and a compatible rom, like the newest lilly or clean black rom.
im convinced its nothing more than a conflict between spl, radio and rom versions.

thanks, very good post!
do you know by chance what are the enhancements exactly?

Installs the following.
Code:
obexfile.dll
btpropext.dll
btfsd.dll
BTDisk.dll
btctxmenu.dll
btrenamedir.exe
felvop.exe
BTFtpClient.exe
btdwake.exe
CheckFile.exe
__cusTSKTEMP.exe
Looks like some checking mechanism for the executable files received.
Hope it doesn't make the already incompatible bt stack more incompatible with other mobiles (read nokia, samsung etc).

V23, the newest one. Maybe it's because of WM6.5 or cooked ROMs in general?

any ideeas?

Yeah same here on my 1.56 ROM, it's not installing.

same here on stock NLD 1.56

Yup same here, using latest stock ROM, no worky for me. Guess that's already been silently fixed ?

I'm getting the same on my stock ROM. Still waiting for HTC to get back to me for reasons why and possible solutions.

I've just had confirmation from HTC that those using the latest official stock ROM already have the hotfix installed as part of the ROM upgrade.

Can somebody maKe a cab please?
or a folder with all file inside?

Solved!

should I upgrade to 1.48 or wait till 1.61 is released

Hey guys
I Have rom 1.43 from UK, and I saw that a new upgrade is available to ROM 1.48, should I upgrade or is the 1.61 rom soon to be released.
Please advise as I have so many apps and its will take hours to get everything back, so it worth upgrading to 1.48????

I'm at the same point as you, just downloaded the new 1.48 ROM but don't know if I should wait.

Nobody knows...
Nobody knows when the 1.6x rom will be released. Nobody knows if you find it worth the effort... Nobody knows if you have any issues with the current rom and whether it will be fixed in the new version.
Sorry if this answer comes across a bit harsh, but how can other people decide for you if it's worth the upgrade. I don't believe there are any major changes between 1.43 and 1.48... No one knows yet what will be fixed in a 1.6x update, and when it will be officially released.
There is a turkish/WWE version floating around which appearantly has the camera fix included but I haven't noticed anything major in that one either.
Then again, using Sashimi and pimbackup flashing a new rom isn't that much work afterall (the only custom stuff I have to do is setup email acount and some shortcuts...)
So perhaps it's an idea to look into Sashimi which is a real timesaver when you flash roms often.

you should get spb backup, makes ROM upgrading so much easier, I upgraded from 1.43 to 1.48 in minutes and without having to reinstall anything

and then you **** up all the new rom with the old registrys and program files. nice one using a backup of old rom in a new.

Sashimi takes over the reinstalling part as well and didn't have very good experiences with SPB Backup in the past. Perhaps it's better now though

Not really, SPB Backup has a "new ROM" mode. I don't think it screwed anything in my upgrade.

Best thing to do is use windows myphone and then make sure your micro sd is out. Installing apps doesnt take that much time anyway (well it depends how many you have!) Always best to set it up again incase anything comes back across

I also have 1.43 but I am not upgrading so far, because everything works well for me. If there's need for an upgrade - do it. If not, don't In the new rom, there are no new features as far as I know.

I'm in the same boat but am waiting as the only real problem I have is the SMS lag (No i will not disable the sense UI as I like it!!), and not getting any voicemail notifications, and these are not directly addressed in the 1.48 update so i'll wait and hope....

People making all kind of magic "registry cleaners" also do think they are doing right, useful and harmless stuff.
Clean installation is the only way to have confidence that *everything* will work *as intended*.

it has a rom upgrade mode, works a treat every time

Personally I am not going to perform any ROM upgrades until SSPL is available.

Have you complain to HTC? I have email them already, I think we need more people bugging them

Are we all blind?? But 1.61 has been "released" That is one of the offical WWE roms coming from HTC.

Simple answer, If it isn't broken don't fix it
There aren't a lot of bug fixes in 1.48 or 1.61, some minor speed increases in the latter but I'd wait till 1.65 or whatever is due after 1.61. (1.61 doesn't include the SMS fix..the next patch will though)

I was misunderstood, I know that the Internet, the official site, is the latest rom for my mini, I was wondering if there is an official rom already loaded with all the updates, for example: Security Update for Peep, Now Legal, Update for HTC HD mini audio mute intermittent - Increased stability for SMS, not to make too many moves.
thanks

all official roms are here shipped-roms.com
most up to date rom is for vodafone uk ver 1.41 but this doesnt have twitter fix
if you want one with fixes then you have to cook it yourself, its actually quite easy using oskitchen
or use a custom rom, maryone is good

yes... it is my friend... please google it first.. try to search for shipped roms htc...
