Hello, I apologise for a completely rookie question, but I am going to ask cos I am unsure...
I have an T-Mobile MDA COMPACT III UK version of the P3300. It runs windows mobile 5.
I want to give the B&B ROM a try and have read up on how you do it using USPL.
My Question: When I do a search for the ROM it comes up in the "Windows Mobile 6" thread, does this mean I need to upgrade to windows mobile 6 first? Or can i just flash with the ROM?
Again sorry for the daft question, all answers will be greatly appreciated!
It is in the 'Windows Mobile 6' section, because it is based on WM6. You don't need to upgrade first, this is what you are doing by flashing the ROM.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your fast reply, helps alot!
Do you have a recommendation for which ROM is the best out there?
Everyone usuallly recomends the B+B ROMs, but personally i like the Vanilla 2 ROM, its all down to personal preference. Vanilla is quick, and stable, B+B has a lot of features. (Both are based on WM6)
The choice is yours

Hi, first of all would like to say this website is a great resource. I am slightly confused over the number of ROMS available. I have a MDA compact 3, its runs WM5. I want to upgrade it to a better ROM. Now which rom in your opinion is the most reliable and looks good? I want WM6, but what is the difference between touch pro and WM6? Is touch built on WM6? And how about the O2 WM6 Premium & PremiumPlus 1.0 WWE??
Can someone just recommend a nice ROM that will allow me to use my TOM TOM and run proficiently.
Many thanks

Hi Seeker,
There is a thread comparing the different ROMS. But iMO you just can't say which one is the best one...depends on you.
Sometimes the developers making full and light editions, it's your choice if you want to use a app-free or app-loaded ROM.
Maybe a look into the threads can help you, in all the first threads there are some screenshots and a short description
about the released ROM.
I tried a lot of the ROMs since now (Fracoon, Tom, Meschle) and i was happy with every ROM.
TomTom is working on all of the ROMS....there is no reason to choose a special ROM just because of TT...
Cheers, Peter
thanks Peter, will have a look. One more question Are all the new roms based upon Windows Mobile 6?

When you're searching in the Artemis WM6 Threads....yes of course
Cheers Pal
...and I think your own experience is better than the impressions of others.
There are always people reclaiming some things in a ROM you maybe
never had a problem with. And hey, a ROM is installed in 10 minutes...
And to say which one is the best isn't objective and unfair against the developer...
Well thanks to this forum and ppl, i have managed to install a new ROM, works like a charm
Im thinking of trying others out. will i have to run the Artemis_USPL again everytime i install a new rom? or is this just required once?
Thanks again

Yes, always run USPL before , otherwise you could brick your device, and that's no fun

Cheers, will do!

depends on what you mean by "authentic". flashing a new rom will NOT SIM-unlock your device. you might however lose any warranty...not sure about this, i never cared =)
if you are flashing a new rom, you should use USPL by pof to temporarily cid-unlock your device. if you KNOW your device is not cid-locked, you dont have to do this, but doing it anyway will not do any harm. i recommend using USPL everytime you flash a rom to your device.
if you use meschle's ROM as suggested by leethedon1 (i second that) USPL will be included in the download. just follow the steps.

I am looking for a rom which will give me better response time than the current one. Also I am looking for a very good rom which is stable. One more question. After flashing the rom with a new one, if I don't like it, is there a way to go back to the original rom?

since i dont know your current ROM i cant say anything about "better", "faster" or "more stable". however, meschle's 4.02 vanilla (and also lite) is one of the fastest and most stable ROM i tried. and i tried quite a lot...

you can't go back. what you can do is flash any other ROM (including your original ROM, as long as you have it somewhere). dumping your current ROM is possible, search this forum. however, that's advanced stuff.
Hi there!
Today I've bought an xda exec with the following specs:
Rom: 1.13.82 WWE
Radio: 1.04.02
RAM: 64MB
What is the recommended update to the ROM and Radio I can do?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

That's an old O2 ROM. The latest (last!) original XDA EXEC ROM from O2 can be found here.
Then there's an ocean of home-cooked ROMs, mostly WM6.x (you gain A2DP and other features but lose on video calling).

Welcome to Uni forum (gosh, I sound just like Orb2000 now ) Actually, make it ORB3000!!!! There, much better!
While we cannot recommend a particular ROM and Radio combination, your device comes with standard features, so pretty much anything that takes your fancy and is suitable for your device in this section would be perfect for the taking. The first thing you should do is read the Wiki, it contains loads of necessary information to help you identify your device and its features for the upgrade purposes and avoid any mistakes or pitfalls. Then you can familiarize yourself with available ROMs and read user opinions and feedback on their performance and features. Generally the best performers will be found on top of the WM6.1 upgrade section marked as a Sticky. Finally, once you get to know all you need and are ready to upgrade, you will be able to try some out and select the one that has the best combination of features FOR YOU. As far as Radio is concerned, there is no fast and steady rule for a perfect combo, some developers will recommend the Radio to be used with their ROM, some users will suggest what works for them, you can always try various versions (ftp server is your friend) and see which will work best for you.
Best of luck. Enjoy!
Thanks!
I've already read lot's of information on wiki for universal...
Already unlocked the "sim lock" and just updated the radio to the last one (1.18.00). Before the universal, I had an Magician (still have it, and working great with the WM 6.1 by cotulla).
I've read about the G3 and bootloader, but didn't understand how to update the bootloader (my universal have 1.00 version)... What is that for?
Also, I will try the WM6.5 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529951 because read 'bout that and like it... just one question.. it the 6.1 better than the 6.5? If I change the rom to 6.5 can I change back to any other, inclusive the 6.1 rom?
Thanks!

Yes, sweetie, I know, I made myself sound like some improved, but not perfect model of you, you know - 'better than orb1000, but still not quite the orb3000'!!! My apologies. The only explanation I can offer is tiredness and late hour of my posting. Will amend my post now.

6.1 ROMs are more developed and used, therefore will be more stable and practical in everyday usage. Another thing is available resources, e.g. 6.5 ROMs tend to be on resource-hungry side, therefore those of us with standard 64Mb machines will not get as much free RAM or speed in some cases available to run our favorite programs as those with devices upgraded to 128Mb. You can try 6.5, of course, just note the above points. And of course you will be able to downgrade to other 6.1 or shipped ROMs.

Hello guys..
I got a HTC 3452 for my sister. It came with Win Mo 6.1. I want to upgrade it to either 6.5 or android. But got to know that android doesn't work on OMAP processors so, wanna know which ROM would be the best. Secondly, can i downgrade it to 6.1 back in case 6.5 is not satisfactory coz some one told me its not possible. Thirdly can the processor be overclocked?
Answers to all 3 are yes.
You can upgrade to 6.5. I'd recommend Onyx personally, but each to their own.
You can downgrade to 6.1. Again, I'd recommend Onyx.
Yes, it can be overclocked. A simple google will show you a couple of programs
To anticipate your next questions:
"How do i upgrade to 6.5"
Please make your way to the rom section, at which point you will find some detailed stickies, and all the roms. Feel free to try which ever ones you feel like, there are many in there.
Make sure you read up about CID unlocking, SPL and IPL. as some roms may require different IPL/SPLs then stock.

Thank you very much... Will try it tonight or tomorrow..
Hello everyone!
I want to upgrade my Leo from original genuine WM 6.5 to WP 7 ROM. It's first time I would be flashing a ROM onto my phone, so I wanted to ask you few questions...
I googled about this many times, but I'm still not sure about some things. I'll welcome all answers and advices.
So here are the questions I'd like to clear out:
Which ROM should I use for my Leo? There are lots of ROMs and I'd like to get the most recent one (best would be with NoDo update)...
Is there a guide or tutorial or something like that? I understand I have to install first some flasher and using that flash the ROM into the device... Is that right?
How is the new ROM going to affect the performance? I read somewhere that at the end it could be faster than HD7 (which is basically the same HW only without 2 buttons)
Is the new ROM going to void my warranty? Is there a way back (to virginize it like e.g. iPhone)?
What's with the XBOX Live services? Is there a working way around?
Thanks in advance
