Sucessfully downloaded and installed the WWE imate ROM on their web site and reinstalled all apps without any problem.
Maybe I am too quick to conclusions, but I noticed NO CHANGE AT ALL!!!
Bluetooth is exactly as before, call quality is unchanged, the *&^%* Jam still cannot send anything by Infrared and worse, the Camera quality is now worse than pre patch!
Overall not a bad upgrade really, just a waste of time and effort!
I finally got all my apps installed as well. Wasn't easy. And to sum it all up, I didn't notice any discernable differences. Sound quality is the same. Stability is the same.
Anyone know what fixes and updates were supposed to be included in the update? Or did anyone find anything at all to be any different?
The only thing I can tell that it did was make my mp3's sound horrible. Very muddy sounding. I'm about to odwnload pocket music and see if the eq on there can fix it. Also looking for a way to downgrade.
Question for you imaters:
I had an imate for 3 weeks and sent it back to Amazon, bought the MDA Compact instead.
T_mobile has no support for this phone : they built correctly the first time
BT Active Sync with PC, no problem, but I never managed this with Imate
BT with GPS, worked with both IMATE & MDA
The MDA rom is stable, has good sound, photo's are ok, like all HTC devices.
So why not just leave Imate and change to the MDA UK Rom??

This makes sense as the operators often do a fair amount of the own device QA, change requests, etc. when they look at any new device. If they don't, they pay for it in customer support. Imate being a relatively new company has yet to prove whether or not it has the same structured approach to their product management. I tell you one thing, Imate will certainly not have the same amount of resources available to them nor will they have as much attention from HTC. That said there is a lot to be said for not being an operator when it comes to efficiency (but that is a different story). Enough editorial...
Does anyone know what the major differences are between the new imate ROM and the current MDA UK ROM? Has anyone used both and/or done a side by side comparison? Does it work on other networks? I'd be interested to hear more.

I had both
I had both and the major difference lay in the sound and the Bluetooth. Which is why I sent the Imate back.
Besides that, I have had an XDA1, XDA2, and the mda is the most stable rom yet (though the 2003 SE was pretty good on XDA2)
Also price, Imate =389GBP, Amazon, MDA=240GBP, given that it works better, it was a no brainer here.

Is that with regards to stability and quality or are there more features as well? In your estimation, is the difference worth a full reinstall? Thanks for the feedback btw.
Ian
imho the new rom is NOT worth a hard reset and all the reinstalling/reconfiguring/resyncing that goes with it.
to be blunt, I cannot see the difference unless I REALLY go looking for it.
I did the upgrade no problems, and my sound quality is a bit better. (less tinny) I recommend that if you do the upgrade use a quality backup program like sprite backup. I simply restored my previous backup over this upgrade and it went smoothly. I understand a fresh start is also sometimes preferable for for testing and If no problems, then I stick with this. If I start having difficuties then I'll reboot. The reduced hassles makes the 20-30 bucks for sprite backup worth it.

where is the ROM for JAM WWE???
Click here to download the Arabic ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe (29 MB) or
Click here to download the Italian ma_cdlsku10_ita_10304_151_10100_ship.exe (26 MB) or
Select HTTP or FTP link to download the USA ROM ma_cdl_10600_150_11000_ship.exe (46 MB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok my iMate JAM has this under device info:
ROM: 1.03.00 WWE
Radio: 1.01.00
ExtROM: 1.03.143WWE
But looking at the iMate website I cannot see a WWE ROM... can I use the USA ROM or should I wait for the WWE ROM?
Cannot get a ROM
I have tried following the link that everyone has for the ROM at:
ClubIMate . . .
ma_cdlsku1_wwe_10300_143_10100_ship.exe
ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe
But I get Page Cannot Be Displayed.
My previous experience with I-Mate, having bought a used JAM, was that I now had to buy a membership and get an ID and Password to get anything.
Does anyone have the file OFF SITE from the club, or does anyone have a password, yada yada?
Barring all that, has anyone built a better ROM than that? Is there a kitchen available for it?
And anyone looking for themes I am selling a collection of mine on eBay and offer to sell 6 for the price of 3 to anyone that references xda-developers . . . I hope you like.

Well I finally got the T-Mobile MDA (USA). You know Im pretty surprised. Its actually running pretty smooth, Got Tomtom 5.21 running with an Bluetooth I-Blue GPS got some programs used the WI-FI sync my contacts, play movie clips with smartmovie, played some MP3s, streamed orb thru the WI-FI, the only things havent got to use is the phone it self as my service will be on thursday tommorow. BUt so far Im impressed I dont see it running slow the rom is 1.8.10.2 WWE the radio is 4.0.13.20 and the EXTrom is 1.8.10.104. Anyone with suggestions on what to install in terms of the ROM not that Im not happy with the current ROM but I love to experiment. Gata say that before this I had the Mio 168RS as My GPS/PDA and this seems to be running at the same speed if not faster. Also the keypad program for the phone seems to have small buttons any suggestions for a better one with larger buttons ? Other ways its a great device in my short use opinion.
hi guys, I bought a BA recently, & I found this forum, HEAVEN!!!
I:
-play a lot of mp3 through earphone, TCPMP is my only player
-run on 3600mAh battery, battery life is my life
-play video clip @ <500kbps occasionally
-share file with other devices & active sync through BT
-do simple phone operations like sms & calling only, not using BT headset or what
-want stability
or which rom has least problem (& what are they?) apart from being free from any problems related to the above?
thanks for any possible guidance
generally, our WM6.0 or 6.1 is designed for latest handheld with vga screen, higher speed, better hardware so each ROM has its own characteristics... you should do trial and error... practices make perfect bro...
cheers

PS:dont worry of making mistakes.. all the information that you need is here.. happy upgrading
I'm pretty new to BA like you are. What I've learned so far is that you need to try each ROM yourself and see how your device responds to it. I'm guessing that these BAs are like any other piece of computer hardware. You can have 5 devices all exactly alike and get 8 different responses as to which works best.
Some units have problems with Wifi depending on which ROM you use. That's been my biggest issue is trying to find a ROM that'll let me use Wifi without too many headaches. I've had mine for like a month or so now and I'm still flipping ROMs to compare.
Swampy just came out with a new one which I need to try, and Sundream mentioned he'll have a new one soon too. Xplode said he would a while back, but I'm still waiting on that one as well.
Unfortunately there isn't a sticky with a list of ROMs that list each person and their latest ROM. That would be incredibly handy and help clean up the forums a bit I'd think.
hello all.
1st time visit..so please be kind..
im in a right mess.....please please help me out if you can.
i have just bought my HTC touch diamond off ebay... all good ..i love it..i used it last night and all was good..i used tomtom for getting to work in my car...all good except it seemed to take a very very long time to find satelite etc etc and work out routes...(maybe 5 mins before i could set off).
Anyway..before this new phone/pda. i was using an old SPV M2000 pocket PC and i had on my memory card a version of TomTom 6 with all the points of interest and cameras etc etc..that worked great with my external blue tooth reciever..
So i thought i would copy my points of interest folder over onto my new HTC .. i managed to completely ruin the version already installed by overwriting maps etc etc and now it wont work at all and tells me to download maps from tomtom..at no-doubt loads of money data connection on the phone..
So then i decided to erase the version on the phone and all other folders i had over-written previously... and then maybe install the version from my old pocket pc.
Now im in a complete state of confusion after reading these posts..
does anyone have the correct advice for me to go forward from here..?
all i want is Tomtom working with speed cameras etc etc.
sorry to start with such a big post.
all the best
vince
tomtom

Dear Forummembers,
I've been a member of this forum for a long time now.
Have been using much of you idea's, programs and problem solving topics!
I am really grateful to everybody who shared and is sharing their knowledge!
My contract with my telecompany is about to expire! For now im using an old Sony-ericsson as a cellphone!
I need some advise for my touch(elf). It has been my buddy for a long time now and i dont want to put him back in his box he came in.
My idea is to use my wonderfull elf for TomTom, music and video..
but i dont know where to start!
I can just turn the phone off or do you guys/girls have other options?
maybe some members already are using their elf for what i want to...
Who can help me out and give me some advise?
Cheers!
Ever since my problem with the GSM radio started I've been using it as a pocketpc only; I've got my sim card in another phone and turned the Touch's phone off, and it works great as a pocketpc. The battery lasts a lot longer too.
you can use your elf as a media manager?
dump all the photos and music into it.
or make into a picture frame?
did you ever thought about cooking an only picture frame rom??
