WM6.1 Pro TESTs + 20931 kitchen - Updated 21.11.2008

Here are my other beta works, still have no time to finish them all
20931 kitchen - this is my attempt to port the 20931 chinese build to WWE since i crapped over the nk.exe I used helmis one for the port - this is the reason that the rom uses more ram than sun_dream's one, also touch scrolling is not working, IE6 is included but in order to make it work you need to install this cab, Flash Lite 3.1 is included, removed office, SQM, Transcriber, Windows Live, Welcome Center, IPSECVPN, and some more stuff which IMO is unneeded ... the rom so far is stable but IE6 and Flash lite work far worst than in let say 20753 for example .... try it on your own risk - it is unfinished port so you can encounter unpredicted bugs with it. You can change the kitchen the way you want but please include my nickname in the credits when you publish a roms made with it
Mirror - thanks to Kraven
enjoy
19915 rom - UC capable (included cabs) - password blueangel
20226 rom - my latest WM7 looks inside (includes Word and Excell in rom) - uses the old method for extrom (included cabs) - no password protection
Megaupload Mirror 20226 - thanks to kraven
20273 rom - the same as above (no cabs included for the extrom but you can use the ones from my previous rom) - no password for the archhive - in this rom i have slightly modified a lot of oem resources with a lightweight version in order to make this rom usable even without extrom
Megaupload Mirror 20273 - thanks to kraven
EXTROM only
Megaupload EXTROM Mirror - thanks to kraven

Bugs
WMV playing slowdown - disable ATI bitmap caching will solve this (you can do it in TCPMP options - this is the easyest way i will make a cab for it later)

Hi, what is the meaning of the pagepool? I see lot of values but I don't understand how useful it is.
Is the WLanFix from the previous version added to this one or I have to use that fix?
Thanks a lot for your work, I'm flashing now

all the fixes are included into the rom so none of them are needed after flashing this one

Downloading ........ >> 14/4 Installed & working great
Thanks xplode .... like ur wm6 so much >> 14/4 Like it .... my first WM6.1

Well, the best Wm6.1 rom I've tried. Wifi works fine even with my WPA-PSK TKIP conection. Bluetooth and irda works fine (with version 209 from pdaviet I had some problems with BT)
Installed part of your previous extrom and all ok.
It's fast very fast. Great work man, great work.
Maybe someone knows how can I build a spanish rom? I've seen german and italian roms, so I'd like to have a spanish rom.
Once again, GREAT WORK man

wich .NET Version is this ?
is it necessary to enable the speedup patch ?

other download sites
the rapidshare guys are really irritating and keep u waiting for long....could u use some other site
thanks

thanks again for the super work, xplode!
would it be possible for you to extract the file explorer from the pdvh rom and place it here? i believe it's more advanced.

All WM6.1 roms by default have .NET CF 2.0 SP2, and i will stick to it for now, stock settings are better
the file explorer is called GSFinder you can find it in the thread of my WM6 rom 1933

thanks, i got it.

@ xplode
Sir, please upload the rom on another mirror

There are no words to describe this incredible work. The ROM works fine.I hope that there are no problems with the phone.
I'm flashing now.

i am uploading it now to megaupload

it´s a great rom, too.
but there is still a media player bug.
playing videos is terrible.
seems to be a buffering problem.
hope this will be fixed in the next rom.
playing mp 3 work perfect now !

can you upload sample video to test this bug ?

sorry, i think i can´t.
because it´s a dvd i convert to .wmv, so i can´t share it, because there is a copy right on it and i don´t want to do something illegal.
the first 5 minutes are very buggy, then everything work perfectly.
have already test it on a wm 2003 ppc, there everything work perfect.

well can you encode other video just for test with the same settings

just search for .wmv file using google and find this page.
http://www.werbeclips.net/
there you can download small .wmv videos.
i test to play one of the videos, and there is the bug !
the first 10 seconds the picture doesn´t change, so you just hear the sound.
after 10 seconds everything work correct.

tryed it , disabling bitmap cache for ati imageon solves the problem

Some Question About "upgrading"

Well, I got this PDA 3 wks ago.
First thing i did was the upg to wm 6.1 ( from HCT ).
Than hardspl ( all gone OK ) than M-Amine package. After 3/4 days BT wont go, radio FM too.
Well gone bak to WM6.1 ,and WM6.0 does't resolve any problem. Send back to the vendor and changed with a new one.
with this 2nd PDA upgrade to wm6.1 and than hardspl and to M-amine . After 6 day Camera blink into various colours, To have it working I tried to soft reset ( nothing ) hard reset (nothing ), go back to wm6.1 and 6.0. Camera won't go. Send back this 2nd with factory wm6.0 and got a new one ( the 3rd ).
Now with this 3rd device all is still "original" wm6.0, but it interface is very sad.
So my question is.
Am I very unfortune and the device was really defected
or am I a stupid ?
Is there an Upgrade to manilla2d without uprgrading the radio drivers?
when dowloading upgrade file from HTC the file name is "_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_ITA_3.13.408.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe.
what is 25.85.30.07 ?
thanks to all can help me

Wow, you have had some bad luck!
25.85.30.07 is the protocol version.
Official releases from HTC often contain both a new ROM and Radio in the same release, however you can upgrade them independant of each other. Need to be careful when doing this though as some of the newer ROMS require newer radio versions to work correctly. You'll find details of the necessary radio versions in most of the ROM upgrade topics.
I'm currently running this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2950434&postcount=348
With this radio version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430182 without any problems.
The ROM I'm using contains Manila 2d etc. and runs quite nicely, but so do many other current ROMS from epimazzo, M-Amine, c_shekhar and udK.
Make sure you have the latest version of HardSPL installed on your phone before flashing any new ROM/Radio as the unsuccessful radio upgrades in particular can brick your device. Lots of information on this in the wiki.

Radio file download is asking for a password......
Never mind - Tried PhamQuang and it worked!!

OK, initial response.
Camera works fine.
Voice and data fine too. Hard for me to talk about signal strength etc. as I work in the city and always get good signal here.
As for battery usage, well we're going to have to wait and see.
Also to note, the download only contains radio nbh file, ie no RUU.

Trying in progress...

So, tested 1.59.44.02 yet and its very great for me.
Compared to 1.59.42.15 IGO8 found satellites within 20 seconds - 1.59.42.15 needs about 5 minutes.
Cell-Phone is also working very fine.
Thanks für it.

can someone please tell me if the signal strength is improved with the new radio?
or is there an official info about the changes in the new rom and radio?

Chinese ROM, CDMA only or for all ROM ?
No need to hardspl with this RUU ?

Works great with SFR (France).
I don't test the GPS thing yet.
For communication, I have a good feedback.

Sorry for the newbie question, but how can I install this new radio? I'm very interested since my reception is quite poor with the actual radio on my Polaris...:-(
Thanks for your input

put RUU and .nbh file in one folder and run Polaris_CustomRUU.exe

thk you
thk for this radio rom !
I test in france

Thanks for this radio ROM.
With radios 1.59.42.15 and also 1.59.42.23 I had a lot of problems with loosing GPS signal in navigation programs. Specially with IGO.
But I think that with this radio all problems with GPS are solved.
And one strange thing. The size of file of this radio is exactly same like 1.59.42.23
And yes everything works OK in Europe.

it is great work in my o2 xda orbit2 in o2 Germany. now test standby time.

Anyone tried this radio with udK´s Syrius R 4 yet?
I am using udK´s Syrius R4, great Rom, and I want to keep it. So far the only radio Rom I could operate with R4 without major problems was ...42.23. Anyone tried this radio Rom with R4 yet?

I got a message
RUU is not valit Polaris application. Can not do anything.

Sorry I made mistake
It has to be placed at PC folder but still I am not sure if it will work. During installation appeared a question if I have to update Rom current version.
I expected that will be updated only radio. If Rom what about installed software- will remaining or will be deleted?

Just update this radio ROM.
Just radio Rom will be updated. You will NOT lose anything on your phone.

This is also ROM, but just radio ROM.
Radio ROM size is about 17MB.

syrius r4
i'm using udK Syrius R4 with this Radio and i have no problems so far.

radio 1.59.44.02
Hi:
I'm using this new radio with Touch Navia 1.4 Pro and it is working well. I noticed that the camera image is a lot more stabilizd with this radio. I was using the 23 radio before this.

ActiveSync problems

Since I unlock my Polaris and I was put in them a new radio, I had problems with ActiveSync and Outlook, after a hard reset. ActiveSync don*t create a folder with my device name, first. Second, PC Outlook don*t function, and third, my Polaris agenda give me some errors. Sometimes ActiveSync don*t connect with my phone.
P.S. Radio: 1.59.46.12

I have original ROM WM6.1

I think with official ROM u can only use Radio ver. 1.58 or 1.64...

I use radio rom 1.59.46.12 with official 6.1 rom 3.19.831.3 WWE and both run very smoothly. Improved active sync. connectivity, HTC weather updates quicker etc, etc.....can recommend you both rom's.

My ROM version is 3.13.405.0 WWE. Where I find an improved version, please?
Thanx for your answers, guys.

What about official HTC Site?

My version was downloaded from HTC official site

http://rapidshare.com/files/1925102...dio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe.html

Thank you, Petulinek!

With 3.13.405.0 WWE ROM & 1.59.46.12 Radio I hear a buzzy sound when I talk with my Polaris. In time, this buzzy which accompany the words increase. I changed the radio version with 1.59.44.02, but problems are the same. The speaker is ok, because when I minimize the volume the buzzy sounds are there. Any ideas, please?

ROM, Radio, HSPL ??? what does it all mean ?

Sorry really to be a pain here, but if someone does not mind, can they explain to me ROM, Radio and HSPL? I think i know that ROM is the software running on your phone. but it that version number increased everytime someone make a custom ROM out from an official one?
Radio as far as i know is for wifi, radio, etc. is this correct ? And final we have HSPL, now what do need that for, and for what use it is?
I am ofcourse asking these questions because i started to look at all the nice ROM's out there and not sure if i should stick to what im doing and keep going for the higher numbers. Would be very happy if someone could quickly explain them all properly and then maybe guide me to other links where i can read more...
Thank you in advance...

SPL - Secondary Program Loader - Think of it as the BIOS of your phone. It starts the operating system loading, and when you flash it verifies cid and region locks.
HSPL - Hard Secondary Program Loader - This is the creation of Bepe and Cotulla and Co. and is a hacked version of the official SPL that bypasses the checks when you flash a rom. It requires SPL 1.42.0000 on your phone to use.
This is the only version that works for telstra phones.
HSPL2 - is an upgrade to HSPL that allows witching between most of the available SPL's, and also their HSPL equivalents. (So if you want to install cooked roms, you might choose 2.08.HSPL, whilst if you want to go back to official, you would choose 1.42.0000 in the HSPL2 dropdown)
HSPL1024 - Is HSPL specific to the tmous hd2.
hardware ROM - The Read Only Memory of the phone. Think of it as the hard disk in your device. This is your storage memory.
'the' rom - When we talk about flashing roms, we mean the file that installs the whole operating system on your phone. This file is 'flashed' to the rom storage space, where it installs itself. After it finishes configuring itself, whatever is left is your available storage memory. (usually around 180 meg on a standard hd2)
Official ROMS have version numbers such as 1.66 , 1.72. 2.10.
Version numbers of cooked roms are meaningless. They only apply to that chefs roms. He/She applies versions as they see fit, however you can get a fair bit of info from the ro mthread title.
Example, they will usually tell you the base of the rom, i.e what stock rom was used as a base, 1.66, or 2.10 for example, and also the windows build version, (the 5 digit 21xxx number, i dont know whats what with those, but the higher ones are winmo 6.5.x) and more as you get used to reading them.
radio hardware - The different models have different actual hardware that connects to the mobile network. That is why you cant get 3g on at&t with a T Mo USA hd2. No matter what software radio you flash, the hardware is wrong.
radio rom - The radio software sits between windows mobile and the hardware. It controls the hardware based on what you want to do. There are all kinds of reports of better/worse battery life, connection strength, sound quality results when flashing digfferent radios.
flashing a radio does NOT require a hard reset, so wont affect your install.
Some roms (example the 576 meg enabled roms) require specific radios, read the rom posts for info.
The big danger with radio flashing is only applicable to tmous users, , if they flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number, their phone dies.

A useful read. I hope you got a thank you...

heh, well i got one now, cheers,

Dear Samsamuel !
Tx a lot ! Although I study this forum now since I am a HD2 owner (who never flashed a cooked ROM) I start to understand these cryptic topic now by Your explanations, making me more brave to try it once. Tx
The only thing I still can´t figure out is: WTF are the REAL differences of the stock-ROMS eg. what EXACTLY is changed between ROM 1.43 WWE, 1.48 WWE, 1.66 WWE, 1.72 (no WWE methinks).
I got so far to understand that some ROM-upgrades are just earlier ROMs with all the following patches included, but some are a major switch from WM 6.5 to 6.5.x and Sense 2.5.19xxxx to 2xxxx, giving new features like rotation in all Sense-Screens.
Plz, get me right, I spend all bad-weather-weekends hours and hours reading in the ROM-cooker-section, read XDA on my HD at airports and train stations but the shere mass of info provided - a little bit here, an info there - prevents me to get the WHOLE picture. There is a thread about which ROMs are officially out till now but with NO Info about the differences between them and which is a major UPGRADE (WM 6.5 to 6.5.x, Sense 1xxx to 2xxxx) and which is simply a better working "older" ROM.
I got my HD 2 now by the help of the geniousses here (You, Cookie, netripper, Moonah, netdrg, BsB, TX, metaldetector-lady and, and, and -and SKTools ) to work perfectly, smooth and without any fault but still would like some features like full rotational capab of Sense, which is provided by later ROMS. BUT WHICH ROM IS THIS ?
Maybe someone could add some infos ´bout that as a sticky thread ?? to decide wether to flash or not to flash when a new official ROM is issued by HTC, cause every ROM upgrade causes a hell of a work to make the HD2 work as smooth and flawless as before (I have now about 50 apps installed and configured to my needs).
Tx for Your understanding
