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 (Yes, I searched on the forum, I found a lot of outdated posts, some talking about cooking roms but not explaining what is a cooked rom...)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).

Great to hear this. When it is ready, could you possibly also release it as a Kitchen? I've gotten spoiled and enjoy tailoring the ROM exactly to my needs. Also, will you include the newer versions of mobile Office?
I will try to include the latest office version also i will update most of the oem software and services with the latest versions, but the rom space is a lil limited so i will do my best to create at least rom good as helmi's one
Yeah! This is very good news!! If you need a beta tester or any "help" you can count on me. I have a Trinity but the Blue Angel is my favorite!

Thank you, Xplode.
I assume that this has camera support built in and no MIDI support? Those are the 2 main issues that I have with Helmi's ROM. I don't need the camera support as I have a SX66, but I DO need the Midi support. That's why I use the Kitchen. So i can dump the useless( for me) stuff and replace it with stuff that I need.

Nice jobb
Nice very responsive and goodlooking.
why is there so few option i HTC today settings,,
i whis to remove launch mediaplayer and weather.
Than diference of V25?
(apart build 20270)
Cheers
-----installed and tested-----
Do you know if i could backup my device, flash the new ROM and then return my settings, is it going to work !? I am using V23 ROM.
see no difference to V25.
same features, no doubt the same problems.
very stable and fast, but so have V23, V24 and V25 (and probably the earlier ones that I haven't tried)
Not sure I like the 'new look' comms mgr (save as V25). It works fine, just looks funny.
I guess the beauty of Pham Quong's ROMs are that if there's something you don't like you can always go back a version or 2 - V23 is my favourite to date - or wait for the next one to come out. I don't read Vietnamese, but there seems to be some reference to V27 in the forum at PDAVIET.
To improved the calculator.
Cheers

A fast and stable rom. Nice work! Thanks.
Video playing from Manila tab is working, TT6 vers. 6.032 is also working for me and the automatic starting and running of active sync in the background seems to be gone.
To do for the user:
-Installation of NetCF 3.5, MMS, Opera (if you want to use it from the Manila tab), Weather patched Manila.exe (if you want to choose an individual city), installation of Total Commander or Resco Explorer to change Manile.exe, etc. (not working from PC), M2DC (if you like to change Manila theme), adv. config. 3.3 (if you want to change tabs in the comm-manager for example).
Not working:
-Long pressed end key, the data connection termination
-all programs selection from Manila programs tab only has worked the first time for me (after it, the selection seems to be dead)
-If I install the default polaris camera with autofocus, it is not working (with radio 1.59.42.15 or 1.59.42.23)
-Swiping between e-mail accounts not working for me
Thanks

I agree. Its a nice rom.
Any one knows which radio rom is/are compatible with ROM V38? I am having issue with V38. Can only make 1 voice call then the next one will have issue where i cannot hear or talk to the receipient. Same camera issue.
Fast rom. Thanks
V38 test results
I've running V38 since two days, I'm running with the 1.59.42.23 radio.
I've added or corrected:
-Opera, .netcf 3.5
- folderview.exe to fix the all program bug,
- Tomtom V7, resco explorer to make the necessary copies,
- opal dialer of M-Amin, because I like his dialer,
- normal polaris camera (from M-amin page) to having the auto focus working.
Test results:
Reallyfaster than V35,
Tomtom V7 is ok,
phone is ok,
Didn't test video call because I'm not using it,
Exchange sync ok,
end key positionned to put my phone in airplane mode and it's working,
bluetooth and wifi working.
multi selection in inbox folder not working,
Camea is ok,

Hi,
now I have found a camera software with autofocus, that is working too. But the image quality seems not to be better than with the actual camera without autofocus. Deinstalled it, cause the actual one seems to be quicker. I have also installed folderview.exe. Now the button "all programs" in the Manila program tab is working, but I´m not able to scroll. Does it work for you and if yes, which folderview.exe are you using (the one from the Sirius R1 thread)?
Thanks!

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...
cheers

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.

This is a full and only german WM6.5 COM2 21901 ROM.
I made this ROM for my personal needs and my old Polaris. To give him a new live.
Thanks to all Cookers/Developers! Without their knowledge I would not succeed finding the present solution.
This ROM was build with Barin's wonderful OSBuilder kitchen and unlike other ROM's, you can dump and recook it. All RGU/DSM files are inside (it's a real signed ROM). Feel free to modify it, to fit your needs! Please share the knowledge with the community. Sharing the knowledge rather than keeping it secret is the biggest improvement.
ROM-Base:
WindowsMobile Build 6.5.x COM2-21901
Polaris Native Kernel 6.5 (101MB)
Polaris OEM 3.19 with (massiv) modifications
Packages from Mega (most), Iolite and Topaz
Some custom packages and tweaks
Q: Why to hell a COM2-Build?
A: I dont like the big buttom bar in COM5. That's all.
Q: What packages are inside?
A: Most of Mega, No Manila2D, EzInput 1.5...download and take a look
Downloads:
Please read Post #11! New ROM: 21901_007 (06.05.2011).
I will give it a try because I was searching a german 6.5 Rom for a long time.
Whats about the 3D-Drivers for the polaris, are they included ?
Happy Holidays

Sorry,
3D-Drivers are NOT included. Because the used Kernel is incompatible. If I can find a NK 6.5 for the Polaris with 85MB-RAM (current 101MB) enabled, then I can try to build with the drivers included.

you should first edit the ROM using HTCRIE, after in edit you can add files 3D-ROM Driver files

Wich part of ROM should I edit with HTCIRT?
You cannot use 3D-Drivers with the current Native 6.5 Kernel in my ROM. The kernel is hacked to use the area between 85MB -> 101MB as RAM. The 3D-Drivers like to use this area for DDI.
That's the problem. If I'm wrong, feel free to show me the right way.

Hello s_marth,
great ROM, I like it!!
But I use Radio-ROM 1.59.44.02, and I had also wakeup problems. Do you have another solution?
The keylock doesn't work. I don't want to use s2u2. Could you fix it?

Hi Matthias,
I also had wakeup hangs with 1.59.44.02 (not so often as with 1.59.46.12). I'm using 1.59.42.15 at the moment. Over the last 4 days I had no problems.
What you mean? Keylock or lockscreen? For keylock please have a look at: Einstellungen -> Persönlich -> Tastensperre. It works for me.
For automatic lockscreen I use LockDevice 1.6.

Hi All,
I found a big bug in my ROM!
Please edit the registry to the values in the code window and take a soft-reset:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"EnableScroll"=dword:0
"EnableSound"=dword:0
"EnableCube"=dword:0
Setting "EnableScroll" to "0" is the most important!
If it is set to "1", the HTC touch.dll/biotouch.dll conflicts with the WM 6.5 builtin touch driver. Typical symptoms are random short hangs while scrolling and lame phone canvas. After edit and soft-reset you get a real fast device.

Sven
Hi All,
here you find a new version of my german ROM for the Polaris.
Changes:
Titanium only! No more Manila2D inside. For me, it is useless bulk.
Fixed scrolling (post #10).
EzInput 1.5 fixed, Landscape added, US and DE keyboards only
LockScreen fixed, HTC-LockScreen-Enh. removed.
Transcriber, Windows Live, Footprints, Manila2D are only present in the kitchen (you can get by request)
EDIT-07.05.2011:
Switching from package "MEGA_Power" (powerexe.exe 2.28) to "POLARIS_Power" (powerexe.exe 2.14). I hope this was the end of search for the reason of random freezes or "sleep of death".
If you like to cook your own ROM, PM me for the kitchen.

EDIT-07.05.2011: New ROM with essential fix, you should upgrade

Hi skysegel,
sorry I forgot to put some modules to slot0. This is fixed in my last ROM (21901_006 from 10.03.2011). I had tested the new ROM over 1 month and got no freeze or SOD anymore.
