Hello guys,
I would like to flash my Polaris but I don't know which ROM to chose. (Yes, I searched on the forum, I found a lot of outdated posts, some talking about cooking roms but not explaining what is a cooked rom...)
Could someone help me in my choice? (or give some usefull updated links )
Thanks,
all latest ROMs are pretty good, you should test them all before deciding which one you are shooting for!
The ones you could test are:
syrius R1
Touch it Beta 3.6
Touch it lite v1.0
Touch it opal beta 2
many more
Before you can flash them, you should install HardSPL. You can find the how to via search.
Other than that, keep reading
Regards

I would recommend SyriusR1 and then remenber to update the radio roms to the new 1.59.42.15 to get it working properly as it does not work with older radios.
I have an original unlocked model, should I still install Hardspl?
What are the differences between all these roms? (are they provided with built-in applications? and with radio rom?)
Thanks for all

Yes, you still need hard-spl!
You can find all the info about the roms in the opening posts of the threads.
They differ in programs installed, drivers used (i.e. the 3d driver), and in use of memory and cpu. Some are faster then others but speed comes with less 'options', some features are disabled to increase overall performance...
good luck with picking one!

yep same here, at the moment i recommend syrius r1 with the appropriate radio, it has little bugs, which can mostly be fixed, and other than that, very stable and responsive
I would recommend M-amine's M2D rom. Very fast, stable and contains the latest P3D drivers. And in different languages.

With all respect, I ask this mainly because I'm not very in to this development, but what use has the 3d driver for the polaris?
I don't want to sound cocky and I do respect everyone on the project, I assume it's a hell of a project , very interesting. But I'm just not sure if I need 3d drivers for the functions I use on the polaris...
Cheers!
The 2D functions are reported faster.
Hey neos2007 you finally jump in. And flash to M-Amine rom good news .
@sebecam2000 try each rom and make your own choice, they are not very different, that is jsut default different software install and different tweak already made after all.

A cooked rom is a rom made by someone else than HTC. Original ROMS are signed with a digital certificate by HTC. A cooked rom is not signed and in order to make your Polaris accept a non-signed ROM (i.e. cooked) you need to install HardSPL first. If you do not install HardSPL the rom flash will fail and you are left with a bricked (non-functioning) phone.
Remember that installing a new rom is like performing a hard-reset (and it is indeed recommended to hard reset after a flash). So backup any contacts, appointments etc first.
Do not take a complete backup (image) of applications, settings (registry) etc since they are of no use on any other ROMs than they were backed up from.
Good luck...

I a not sure this all is true what you stated, because I believe you mix this up with udk r0, because in r1, QuickGPS works, voice command has been included (the default HTC one, not MS)
Answering calls with my headset (jabra bt 200) worked fine

I agree with PseudoReal, i think you may be mistaken with r0. apart from what Pseudo mentioned, i also saw that my front camera is working fine.
I have Syrius R1 and QuickGPS doesn't work. I tried several times today. Weather is updated while QGPS is trying to connect, so the Internet connection works (through 3G).
SR1 is good, except for the clock background which blocks a huge chunk of the background picture. (I had some trouble changing the Manilla skin, but now it works and I have a clock with no background.)
Oh, and the GAPI BitBlt graphics test fails on SR1 (but not on SR0).
(I didn't try M-Amine)

that's strange. QuickGPS works fine on my device. Maybe you forgot to HR after flashing (always recommended).

Hi, I have a question: is it possible to install Manilla2D over official 6.1 WWE release? I tried to find a cab or something but either my search was too fast or there's nohing relevant.....
it worked for me, i flashed the new official htc rom and then put manilla on it..
link to manilla: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
link to manilla skins/clocks/more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
have fun!
Thanks m8! Is it OK (stable) for you?
it worked fine yeah but now i flashed my rom to m-amine 2 cause i like it to check out new roms.. but it was stable yeah and what i also did was downloaded another windows theme to match the startmenu with the m2d colours..
OK, I'll give it a try later in the day. Thanks!
I am curious to know if it works ok.
So, I have installed official WM6.1 and Manilla2d on top.... everything runs smoothly expect the "people tab" where:
tapping on the names does not start a call;
the stored contacts are lost after they're used or after a SR....
Probably it's a bug between manilla and the standard dialer.... I will try more solutions.
Finally the problem was with the cube... I did a hard reset and reinstalled manilla after having disabled the cube and everything went OK.
I know that my solution (official WM6.1 + manilla2d) does not provide any advanced features as 3D drivers, but it's very stable and everything seems to be working fine!
Hi,
Nice title isn't it ?
In fact I'm searching (hard) for a release install of the Touch3D interface for the HTC Cruise.
I have read and read and read many threads talking about the 3D drivers, the manilla 2D, hard-spl and so on... Didn't understood...
It was pages of post from developpers to developpers.
So I didn't even found a procedure telling how to install Touch3D on the cruise. A procedure for dummies I mean, i.e. step 1, step 2, step 3, etc...
I have seen on youtube videos showing the Touch3D on a Cruise... so it may be possible ! But how ???
Would it be possile to have a thread for "release" versions, containing info on the last stable and operationnal version, and a thread for "dev" versions, where geek and developpers explore, try, search, install, uninstall version ?
At the moment, I have installed Windows Mobile 6.1 on my Cruise : great success (there were only on exe to run !).
I'm really intersted by the touch 3D interface which hides WM6 more (because WM6 is not for mobile phones : I don't know who do it by Microsoft, but he should has never used it ! He might use an iphone !!!!)
And last, a request for a french version...
Thanks for your returns,
Arth'

it's been out for a while u can't have searched that hard lol
no mms
no onenote
no works automapa 5.1
I have seen this thread... but it doesn't let me thinking it was touch3D.
I tried to install it : nothing changed on the pda, except it was slower...
So it reinstall WM6.1...
Did you install new drivers 3D ???
Otherwise it doesn't work, mine is ok, one of the videos you saw is mine.
I have downloaded the m-Amine 2.0 RTM SP3.
Run the RUU.... and the process starts, the RVB screen appears on the Cruise.
0% : it stays at 0%...
I don't know why.
The WM6.1 RUU works fine. But the RTM stays as 0% although the process seems to be similar to the WM6.1 RUU.
I 'm searching (hard : in those billions posts without any stard nor end !) to solve it
I will keep you informed.
Install HardSPL before.
Man use search function and read sticky topics.
So...
It works now
Here are the steps.
First of all, I started from a Touch Cruise updated with the HTC offical Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade, download from the HTC site.
From here :
Step 1 : installation of the hard-spl boot loader found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69875&d=1202629374 or via this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964
Step 2 : installation of the M-amine ROM
downloaded from here (for the French version) http://rapidshare.com/files/151443296/M-Amine_2.0_RTM_FRE.zip or via the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430745
And now, it is nice
BUT :
no more Tom tom....
and maybe other things (I haven't checked all yet)
Hope this will be clear

Be careful!!
M-Amine 2.0 is a ROM which includes Manila2D, similar to touchflo 3d with the difference that is, of course, in 2d!! So it's not touchflo3d, anyways it seems like the development of TF3D for polaris stopped
TouchFlo 3D working
Hello,
I got this to work, and I truly love it. Now the question is, how do I get my TomTom back. I am sure one of of you has found a way to extract TomTom from the original HTC Touch Cruise and made us able to put it back onto the HTC Touch Cruise with the reall cool Touch 3G interface. Anybody know how to do that? Please give me some step by step instructions as to how I will get this done.
Thanks in advance
Bernd

Arthur,
I was sad about TomTom as well, here it is ... Works like a charm. Have fun!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439663
does anyone have news on development? Any insight on whether there will be a ROM to include it? so far the only current development I found was here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450556
yes, this is the latest activity I know as well. But I think devs will pick this up again, there are so many people who want it stable on their devices...(though, IMHO I can´t understand it *lol*)
Hi everyone,
since there are some newbies and some other users asking "what is the fastest ROM?" I came up with the idea of doing a speed comparison at startup. I know, it´s not only about the startup, but I think it matters as well since we WM users often have to perform a softreset once in a while
Same procedure with every ROM: Flashing, Hard-Reseting, Turning off all Comms, Soft-reseting and clocked until the todayscreen came up and M2D was ready to use.
So, here are my results:
TouchNavia 1.2a FULL: 54 s
udK Syrius R1: 50 s
regards,
Martin
NOTE: List is not complete ATM, maybe someone could test the other ROMs, otherwise it´ll take some time, can´t download at home, got a data volume limitation xD
you should test M-amine full and light edition

yes, had RTM with SP3 and Fixpack until today, not only because I wanted to test speed aspects but also because I had lots of errors with it, even after performing a HR and setting up everything new. M2DC wouldnt work properly..
Nevertheless, I´ll test M-Amines as well as Touch-IT v4 and maybe c_shekars and MAXniper V1.

M-Amine release a finale version = rtm +all fixes.

pcarvalho eXtreme ROM 3.19 WM6.5 OS 5.2.21911/23569/28014/24001/ 29022 WWE R0
Development has been resumed, my thanks to all that made this possible
HTC POLARIS WM65 BUILDs: 21911 [COM2] / 23569 [COM5] / 28014 [WMD] / 24001 / 29022
[READ THESE FEW POSTS BEFORE PROCEEDING]
Roms sorted by date.
UPDATE:
29022 is up, follow the white rabbit...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15707730&postcount=8079
this is a fix release...sound issues should be gone...had to remove htc volume control is it still has issues...fixes minor gfx glitches...updated to lastest and probably final leak version of wm6.5.3 (29022)...will from now on work on unresolved issues and finalize rom...this will still take some time due to work...
updated physics engine and utask app by ultrashot...my thanks to him...
patched htc album to novsync, faster scrolling once cache is made...
removed no longer supported apps (my phone and marketplace)...if u need them install via cab...
Important Note:
if you have radio 1.65.xx.xx installed on your polaris, downgrade the radio 1st...
it will not allow you to flash any other ROM (i couldn't even flash official HTC ROM when i tried a ROM with that radio)
link 2 a radio that allows downgrade
There seem to be HR and MC losing data issues with some roms, so i recommend flashing a htc original rom and only then this one, before proceeding as always make a backup of all data before attempting to use this rom...
This is released as "WORK IN PROGRESS" so you can if you want, post what works/what doesn't...
in time i'll correct bugs and release when it seems fit...meanwhile i'll actively answer all major questions, giving all support which is always nice to have...hope you all like it...

Things people are always asking about:
Q: When will a new version be released?
A: when im done testing and i think its good for most people...
Q: Will other languages other than english (WWE) be made?
A: simple answer...no...maybe in 2010...
Q: Can you make a 3D/Lite/XYZ version? and when will it be out?
A: yes i can make it...as long as i have time, it will be out when downloads provide me with the info that people want more of it and i have time to make/test it...
Q: Can you make a build based on COM2/3/4/5/Z?
A: yes, i can...but ill be the judge of when and how ill make it...cooking takes a lot of time and whatever i release is always about quality...patience please...
Q: What is the diference between COM2/COM4/WMD/XYZ branch?
A: the most noticeble is until COM2 its old style (WM61) above COM3 its new style (WM65X with bottom buttons)...the rest, have no idea...
Q: Whats the difference between 3D and non3D version?
A: they differ in the drivers...as name says...one has opengl drivers and less 16Mb of ram because of them...the other has not and 16Mb more than 3D version of same rom...the rest is the same (programs/tweaks/customization)...and no you cant install P3D Drivers on non3D rom cause it will break compatibility...
Q: Is there any diference in speed between 3D and non3D version?
A: simple answer...yes, thanks to gfxboost that is included. but at a cost of 16Mb of RAM for DDI drivers...so that means programs (some) can be crashing because of lack of...opera/youtube are 2 of them...but i also wouldn't call non3D slow at least wm6.1 wise...you'll be the judge...
Q: Tested incoming /outgoing calls... but cannot speak or hear...plus camera all black...whats wrong?
A: You have the wrong radio version installed...change it! radio 1.59.xx.xx and above should work...
Q: Can i run manila 2.1/2.5/2.6 on my polaris?
A: Yes you could if someone made the port (someone like me)...but...you will never see it running simply because there isnt enough RAM/ROM to handle it, there are no fully working opengl drivers...and like so...our polaris simply doesn't meet the minimum sys specs to be able to fully run manila 3D...even if someone wanted to make the port...id just say: just buy a HD2! its cheap compared with the all work you'll have ahead...

@ pcarvalho
I think ... that your rom have more ram available.
Sorry for that but i have only one Polaris for testing (with your rom inside now)so i don't remember exactly the ammount of ram.
And something else...Why the progressive bar (in abum video) always missing in all the latest roms?

must be some wm6.5 compatability issue...i didn't change anything there...
Everything is working fine for me!
1 thing. the sound is different then other roms. when i play music it is a bit low.. not low volume but sounds very low, no high tones.
ive installed wow srs hd and now its fine.
good job! will keep this for a while!
so it works without any radio upgrade.... if i not mistaken, it is the shipped radio version....
thx anyway...
Maybe we have a problem with Quick gps...i push the button but nothing happens.

i also tested it and it was (and still is) working...
I have downloaded TranMinhMan's latest. But it looks like there is no need to flash that and test after the tests done as above by you people. Thanks. Now using pcarvalho's 6.5 with radio 1.58.32.33. (quick GPS not working)
Well, in the morning I've tested TranMinhMan's ROM, now pcarvalho's ROM. I've been using Win 6.5 since the first ROM I found and I must say, I'm delight with the progress so far. In TranminhMan, with 3.13 drivers from the total of 84 MB, I think free was around 40-45.
@pcharvalho: great great job. I'm using Radio 1.65.xx.xx and everything works fine. Indeed, video is working on Album. The battery drain ain't big, so I guess you enabled some power savings in registry. I installed a battery metter and works great.
Some suggestions for the next ROM:
1. Include KeyLock.cab for those who want to enable hardware buttons when device is lock
2. Include DeviceLock1.2.cab. It creates a shortcut to Lock function and this shortcut can be mapped to a hardware button.
3. WM6.5 Titanium Weather tab would be a nice addition.
4. SyncroTime is always needed
5. PIM Backup is always needed
6. Toggle Wifi On/Off: AKToogleWiFi.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2868203&postcount=1) It creates a shortcut in start menu to enable/disable WiFi with one click. By the way, what is the default wifi protocol enabled b ? g ?
This is the begining of a new era for Polaris. The device keeps getting smoother and smoother. I'm really glad that finally we have a cooker on xda for win 6.5 Polaris Roms. You have made my day pcharvalho. Looking forward for new releases. Thank you. Respect.

maybe a fix for quick gps
Hello, this is maybe a fix for quick gps.
Install an task manager and terminate then "QuickGPS.exe". After this step maybe you can start it. This was a Problem from previouse Roms from TranMinhMan, but after this step it wokrs for me,
Baybe this trick works on this Rom too. I'll test it later.
Sry for my bad english.
