Comparison between imate Jamin ROM and QTEK S200 ROM

Hi There, Wondering if any of you have done a comprehensive comparison between the 2 ROMS to share with the rest. From my understanding, the newest ROM for imate is as follows (Both WWE ROMS) (If i'm not mistaken) :-
imate Jamin WWE - Released 08 April 2006
OS ROM : 2.13.9.23
EXTRom : 2.13.9.123
Radio ROM : 02.20.21
QTEK Jamin WWE - Released 29 Mar 2006
OS ROM : 2.9.7.24
EXTRom : 2.9.7.126
Radio ROM : 02.07.20
I've not tried the newest Jamin ROM and whatever comparison you guys have done, it'd be great to know of your experiences.
I've tried the previous imate ROM and i've found the QTEK ROM quicker than the imate one. QTEK ROM has less add-on software like skype etc., but other than that, i'm not sure how else we can compare it. Can anyone else who has tried both shed some light on this topic? Is the new imate ROM better than the previous? Thanks!

This would also interest me so much. From what i've heard so far is that the qtek s200 rom is faster than imate rom. Could somebody pleas give us more details on this and maybe, why.
thanks.

I've actually tried both. It is somewhat true. QTEK ROM is zippier. However, i found that memory leaks were more rampant on the QTEK ROM. imate is a little more stable IMO. I'm not sure why. I'm currently using the latest i-mate ROM and because its released later, somehow it 'feels' better. I bypassed the software i did not want though (skype, backgammon etc.)
Any other thoughts?

True
I tried both the Qtek and the Jammin rom. I also found that the Qtek was faster however, the memory leak situation was worse than the Jammin.
I do have one problem however. I have a 2 --> 1 sim card adapter and on the original ROM I was able to use it fine, but I have been having problems with the Newer Roms. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is my adapter shot?
Cheers.

which rom should I pick?

Quick question for all you pros out there. I just purchased the att version of the siemens sx56. Will receive in mail shortly. I want to upgrade to wm2003. As this is the 900/1900 verision, is it ok to use the qtek Rom 4.02.04. From what I understand the qtek 1010 is a 900/1800. Will this cause any problems?
Also is the t-mobile rom 4.01.16 any better than qtek rom?

Selecting any ROM causes no difference to the radiostack of the device. So you could take any ROM you want.
Selecting the ROM depends a little bit on the way you want to use the device.
The T-Mobile ROMs often have the Problem of reflashing the device. My personal
favorite is the 4.01.12
Stefan

Thanks for the quick reply. I will be using the internet a lot primarily through gprs and just want a stable Rom that wont hang or give me crazy problems.
What exactly about the 4.01.12 rom do you like over the others available?

I like the wmodem application of the ROM, also reflashing is easy possible.
And it´s one of the ROM´s that was nearly official announces by o2...

Question about the radio-only upgrades...

Hi all,
I currently have the HTC Tytn with the original ROM on it. I'm on Cingular's network, and am having the problem where the call either gets dropped completely or temporarily when the phone tries to "hand off" 3G to 2G. Are any of the radio-only upgrades that are on the ftp supposed to address this issue? I'm not looking to change the ROM. I'm currently on radio verion 1.03
Thanks in advance!
SP

I have a TyTn on Cingular as well. I upgraded to 1.20 radio ROM and haven't experienced any problems you're having moving to/from 3G areas.

Hi sf,
Thanks for the reply... are you also still on the original Tytn ROM as well? (for everything else but the radio...)

yes, i'm on the original HTC ROM, just upgraded the radio.

The best combination is the original HTC ROM + 1.16 RadioROM from what I have heard around ..

Great, thanks a ton guys. I'll give it a whirl.

I'm having much better battery performance with the HTC ROM and the 1.20 radio than I did with the 1.16 radio.

Goesto11, did you have any installation problems during or after the install with the 1.20 radio? I read a couple other posts where some additional tweaks needed to be made afterwards, but I'm thinking now that that was with the Cingular ROM.
Thanks,
SP

1.20 Radio was actually from the latest iMate ROM from what I remember .. might want to verify ..
latest Cingular RadioROM was 1.16 ..

Thanks GJ.

Nope, no installation problems at all (follow the directions and you should be fine).

I am wondering the same thing. I upgraded, but I haven't driven through any of the troubled areas yet. I guess we'll see on the drive home.

I'll install it today and report on it asap. A particular area that I go through on the way home from work attempts the hand off a good 80% of the time.

Oh yeah, one more (stupid) question...
If I install the 1.20 radio, then later end up doing a hard reset... after the hard-reset, will I end up with the original HTC radio, or the updated one?

Good question .. You will then always have an updated RadioROM .. even after a hard reset

Ok cool, thanks. I'm glad it was a relatively not-too-stupid question

Yeah, I did this yesterday. Your updated Radio ROM sticks with the device.
But what about installing an entirely new ROM; this overwrites the radio ROM right?

Yes, this is correct. A "normal/standard" ROM update will overwrite the System ROM, the Extended ROM, and the Radio ROM.

I can't seem to dowload a good file to unzip. It says "not a valid pocketpc app".

The ROM updates need to be run from a WinXP PC with an ActiveSync/USB connection to the Hermes...
and remember, Flashing can be a dangerous business, even if you know what you're doing... use at your own risk!

Radio Rom and unlock CID for Prophet

Hi
I downloaded the latest radio rom and installed it on my Dopod 8180 Pro G3 which had the Version 1 rom with GSM ......
Now when I reboot the Dopod the GSM version has disappeared and the Dopod is very very slow. How do I fix it or where can I get the original radio rom from?
Second is I can't download the unlock CID file, is there another file location which I can do this?
Thanks

Hi
I have fixed it already, it seems like the V2 radio rom will not work for V1 OS and it cause the battery to drain, I had to borrow another battery to reprogram the rom.

Hi Kiwi,
Where do you get the v.2 radio rom?
When you said radio rom, is it related to the IPL or SPL also? Thanks

No Notification problem

Hi friends.Just got a new wizard for myself few days back I am sorry if this has already been covered.I have tried to search but with no luck at all.
I am facing a strange problem ever since i got the phone.The problem is that when someones sends an sms to me,i receive no notification on my phone.The sender gets a delivery report for the sms but I cannot see the sms on the phone.There is neither any notification nor is it visible in inbox.But this problem is only intermittent i.e it happens only some times.At other times,everything works as it should.This issue also happens at times when someone calls me.The phone rings at their end but i see no notification/no missed call..nothing..
Will updating Radio version help ?
Currently using:
ROM Version 2.16.9.1 WWE
Radio Version: 02.07.10
IPL: 2.16
SPL: 2.16
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Upgraded to T-Mobile 2.26 with radio 2.25.11!! But Still no luck !! Anyone please ?

To me, that sounds more like a network problem than a device problem, especially since it's intermittent. You should probably call and report the problem to your service provider and see what they have to say.

The radio version seems .. not too good. What ROM are you using? try using an official ROM? Try using my version of Radio.
