AKU question - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I have a T-Mobile MDA. Is "AKU" a ROM or an add-on? I'm currently running xelecien's 2.26 ROM, which works well for me (I have a radio update, I think it's 2.4.1). Anyways, I feel that my phone could work more efficiently; i'm thinking of doing a hard reset and switch up ROMs, maybe overclock aswell. Any suggestions on a change?
Thanks.

AKU stands for Adaptation Kit Update and is essentially a 'service pack' so the higher the AKU the less buggy so to speak the windows mobile should be on your phone (not always true!).
Your 2.26 rom will be AKU 2.3 which is quite stable (same as mine!)
To get a higher AKU you will need to CID unlock your phone.
Overclocking does impact alot on the battery performance i found

PLEASE HELP with this XDA1

:? PLEASE HELP!!!
I've got an XDAI
ROM version: 4.01.12 ENG
ROM date: 12/22/03
Radio version: 6.1800
Protocol version: 324e4
Model no.: PW10A1
The ROM was cooked in Stefan's great ROM kitchens.
Whenever my XDA loses the GSM signal it turns itself on.
It will turn itself off again after 2 minutes-as it is set to do.
I don't know when this probelms started but it hasn't always done this.
It is maddening, especially when I am driving.
It also wears the battery down quickly.
Could it be my radio stack?
What is the best or most reccommended for XDA1?
i think it's the rom, its a little bug some 2003 t-mobile roms have
Try to use the AT&T ROM
it has very few bugs, but some problems in sound!
Revert back
I suggest you put the latest Pocket PC 2002 ROM back in.
I have been through the same with my own XDA 1. Tried every unofficial and coocked WM2003 ROM there is. Nothing but issues and an utter waste of my time. Now I am back at PPC2002 3.20.06, AFAIK the most recent PPC2002 version. Workes like a charm. Even -very demanding- TomTom3 runs smoothly on PPC2002 on my XDA 1.
WM2003 on an old XDA 1 does not bring any fascinating additional functionality. The XDA 1 does not become faster, does not use less memory for the OS so more for apps, no great extra apps, battery does not last longer with WM2003, graphics don't become speedier. No gains in there whatsoever, not for me anyway. Only issues unfortunately.
And all my non-MS apps well run on PPC2002. So why make the switch :?:
Thanks for all the replies.
You guys are great help.

The Rom you mentioned 3.20.06 is an english language version of an asian ROM. Isn't it?
Will this work well in the USA (where I am)?
Also will it work well with T-Mobile?
Or should I use a ROM like 3.14.40?
Is there any need to change the radio stack?

MDA Vario has started resetting itself!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can advise me on how to stop my Vario randomly resetting itself. It's only just started to do this in the last few days having installed a few programs like SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Weather and SPB Backup.
My device information is:
ROM: 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM Date: 11/15/05
ExtROM Version: 1.6.2.105
Will updating the ROM improve thisngs, if so, which one is the best? Any advice giben is really appreciated, thanks.
I had the same problem with the same software installed.
Don't know if it was the software but a replacement handset had version 2.21 and it is now much more stable with much better battery life too.
Good Luck
Is version 2.21 an official T-Mobile upgrade? If so, where do i get it from?
I returned my previous MDA Vario to T-Mobile due to constant rebooting.
The new handset they supplied had the following details :-
ROM Version 2.21.2.6.WWE
ROM Date 3/9/06
Radio Version 02.19.11
Protocol Version 4.1.13.09
Ext ROM Version 2.21.2.109
I guess it must be an official T-Mobile version as they supplied the handset.
It is much more stable then the 1.6 or so version I previously had.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks for that.
If it is ROM rebuild that i need, i better start reading up on how to debrand the phone and add a Mr Clean ROM as they're supposed to be the best ones to use. I don't fancy sending my phone back to T-Mobile as i've heard stories exchange units being sent out!
why do you not just up grade you phone to the newer rom!!! it is so easy to do!
Cheers for the advice, i've downloaded the official 2.26 ROM from T-mobile, i just have to back up all my contacts and setting and then i'll have a go at installing the new ROM.
Fingers crossed it all goes well!
I am having the same problems with the newest tmobile oem rom update..
I have installed the following apps.
battery plus pro 3.0
Omap 0.4
PediSuite
Photo Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command.
and the device will reboot atleast once a day if not more. can anyone tell me why it is rebooting?
Thanks.
^^ If your using omap to overclock its possible your device is unstable at the faster speeds causing the reboot.

Recommend your favourite ROM

Hello,
My Cingular 8125, kinda got a little whacky, and on top of all I deleted my miniSD contents by misstake... In any case, It is loooong overdo a system reinstal and a ROM Upgrade. I currently have: 2.17.7.2 WWE
I know this q has been asked a million times, and I promised you have have search for answers before posting.
Can someone please recommend what ROM i should consider going with next. Also if you can tell me where the file is located, that would be awesome. I just don't really understand all the letters (AKU, WWE etc) with the file name of the roms and what they stand for.
Lastly, I would like to unlock my phone so that I can use in Europe in the spring... I've lost track of what is the best way to go about unlocking it.
Thanks a bunch.
Whatever one is newest
try this one: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Wizard/Roms/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.rar
rom version: 2.26.10.2 - latest.
AKU 2.3 : Adaptation Kit Update 2.3 (it is supposed to be the higher, the better). However I think AKU 2.3 is better than AKU 3.2.
WWE: Worldwide English.
For sim unlocking only try Lokiwiz 3.0a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768
remmender to run EnableRapi.cab on your device, before run LokiwizMsl.bat on your computer.
I use the Mr. Clean Rom. It's the most basic one and only includes stuff you need.
A lot of people on these forums use Molski's rom though.
Mr. Clean is one of the faster ROMs I've tried to date. Its perfect, being just the core WM5 itself with no molestation from the manufacturers
I have no complaints about the moleski ROM. I especially like all the optimization hacks including A2DP. Nice.

Stable ROM(s)

Hi. I have an MDA G3 running xelecin's 2.26 cooked ROM and the 2.47 radio upgrade. I've been having problems with my phone freezing.. Is this a common problem with all ROMs, or do i have an out of date ROM? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
I tried several ROMs!
Most 'home cooked ROms' had problems and issues, so, finally I decided to go with an official ROM and had no further problems!
what's the latest "official" version for the MDA G3?
What language and which network provider?

USA and T-Mobile.. i read that they don't make a WM6 ROM. I just downloaded a file called "crossbow_reloded_ver1.5.zip" Is this a ROM?
Thanks,
Yep, you will have to unzip it!
Don't be disappointed if that WM6 ROM will not work properly!
The latest official T-Mobile USA ROM is 1.26.2 and can be downloaded at the T-Mobiles homepage! It is almost the latest version. Only T-Mobile Germany has a newer WM5 (AKU3.3) available, bit since that one is in German I do not think you want that?
All available WM6 ROMs are 'user-created', either ripped off from other devices (with other hardware) or build up from a BETA which was around for a while. Most of them have software added which you might not want! Lots of them are even stripped down to get more free available memory in the MDA.
Until now I couldn't find any WM6 cooked ROM without any issues ... that is why I stick with the official one.
Beside that 'cool VISTA look' and HTML support in email (pocket outlook) I could not find any improvements from version WM5 anyway!
HTML email you can get by installing FLEXMAIL 2007 on your MDA, so, why bother and risk to end up with a brick?
I have to respectfully disagree. WHile cooked WM6 roms aren't perfect, I've been running a few now that perform for me better than any stock rom from a provider has ever worked for me. It does really depend on how much your use your phone and what all you do with it to find the right rom for you (so I finally made my own, which is the Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 you have.). I'll admit, its not perfect, but it fits my use. I'll probably be tweaking it some more in the next week or so as I continue to try to "perfect" the rom...
i haven't installed crossbow reloaded 1.5 yet.. so all it does is change the OS part? should i change my radio from the 2.47 one to that UK radio rom that's going around.. eventhough i live in the usa.. also, did you have to downgrade the ROM before upgrading?
Thanks,
-Adam

What is the latest Official ROM of TMobile?I just find 2.21 ROM in http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html.
Is this latest?
And what about 2.26 final of Molski?Is it stable?My wizard is G4 chip!
goto t-mobile.com and search for MDA ROM; 2.26 is the latest official ROM..
Where can I go to get the latest faria ROM? is it the crossbow-reloaded 1.5 ROM, or something else..? I download Molski's latest ROM (the one the the 8MB page pool).. it's the one from his website under the "latest ROM" link.. I can't figure out which to use.. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Let's try if you want to know.But if you want a stable ROM,let's use WM5 official.It's reason i want to find a latest offical ROM.2.21 is aku 2.0 ROM.So i can't restore clock on task bar.I'm using Molski 2.26 final.But it's cooked ROM.I think it can't more stable than official ROM.Is it true?

Performance related to ROM version?

Hi all,
First post here after discovering this wonderful resource!
I am in the UK and have an O2 XDA Mini S, it was one of the first ones released I think.
I took off all of the O2 stuff as soon as I got it as it was extremely slow!
While it is ok most of the time, the performance can get pretty bad sometimes, seems like theres a memory leak somewhere.
Once rebooted its ok again for a few days.
The IPL and SPL version are both 1.05. I take it this is a very old (First?) version, and was wondering if upgrading it to a newer ROM would help the performance at all?
Other specs are as follows...
Rom Version - 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM Date - 11/08/05
Radio version - 01.09.10
Protocol Version - 4.0.13.20
Ext ROM version - 1.5.4.102
Thanks...

Can't say I've used a 1.x rom version on my Wizard, but I have used a couple of official 2.1x roms, as well as Faria's WM5 rom and now I use Zoki's NBD WM6 rom. I can definitely say that I've seen performance improvements as I upgraded along this path. I've also found memory mgmt seem to be better on WM6 and I actually see memory reclaimed often, where this never happened before WM6.
Another thing to do is use batterystatus or omap to (slightly) overclock. I overclock to 260MHz using batterystatus.
Thanks for that Titus666,
Bit of a newbie with these things so excuse the question...
Does the ROM contain the OS then? eg. I have WM5 on mine. If I updated to another ROM would it update the OS to WM6 too?
Think I'll have to try a ROM update or 3 then, and try not to break it!

Yes, a ROM would contain the OS as well as the supporting apps and drivers like Bluetooth and Wifi etc. So there are many ROMs that are all WM5 but are all different, and similarly there are lots of ROMs that are WM6 but are all different as well.
So yes, if you want WM6, you will need to upgrade the rom. There are a number of sticky threads in the Wizard forums that spells out what needs to be done and what the traps are (and there are lots of traps), so read read read is my advice.
