Roms Roms Roms

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

Cheers, will do!

New to Hermes- ex-wizard!

Hi all!
Allow me to introduce myself, i am, the duke! my windows mobile history is as follows:
SPV E200, SPV C500, i-mate SP3i, Vodafone V1240, Himalaya, Charmer, Magician, Wizard and now.......HERMES! finally!lol
needless to say i am not new to rom flashing, and indeed have also cooked a few roms in my time.
i have a few questions here to which i hope i will get helpful answers and not just some smart-alec telling me to read the wiki! i am in the process of reading the wiki!
This is my first device that uses the newer 'NBH' files opposed to the old NBF's and tornado bootloader.
And there is clearly a few ways to flash, and what appears to me to be the best is using the 'HERMIMG.nbh' file on storage card technique.
my questions are as follows:
1) Which is the QUICKEST and most stable WM6 rom
2) After CID-Unlocking is it worth flashing Hard-SPL?
3) what rom do you reccomend and why?
this is all, please, no smart-arse comments! at the moment i am using the TNT5.0 rom on my wizard
many thanks

Fastest ROM
1.) I always found LVSW ROMs to be the most stable, always deployed without faults. As for the fastest, personally (as a basic users and abuser of a phone), I never found one to be vastly faster than another. Especially WM6 ROMs.
2.) Huh, never even crossed my mind not to.
3.) I'm back to WM5 Original T-Mobile shipped I'm afraid, I braved Schapps and vp3g ROMs (liked them both I must say), but I just had issues that forced me back...

Duke,
1) Not tried all the others on her but Schaps 354c lite is pretty quick.
2) Hard SPL = Always. Safe bet for Tytn Rom burning.
3) Schaps 354c full. Has everything I need and is incredibly stable, which was a key criterion for me. Plus Schaps himself has a Tytn so I was happy to use the Rom knowing he had built and tested it on my device type before throwing it out there.
So when are you going to start cooking then?
WB

My opinion
my Answers are as follows:
I found that the best stable ROM is Schap's 3.54C & 3.6A
Yes you have to do that to prevent bricking your device
I tried several ROMS the best I found in my opinion is Schap's it is a fast rom with an elegant interface I've been using it for more than a month with no problems at all, there are several roms I've tried like TNT2 and Cyphol which is really based majority on Schap's.
If you need any further assistance please PM me. happy flashing.............................

HTC TyTN (HERM100) NEWEST CLEAN ROM UPDATE WM6

Hello, I am bad in english, so please give me please the link to the newest ROM and RADIO version for HTC TyTN (HERM100). He is unlocked. Please give me the ROM WM6 or WM6.1 clean, so without others aplications, like ROM from official HTC
Thanks very much, sory for maybe spam, but i cant search becouse I dont understand nothing
This is in bootloader:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.11

Hi...take a look here to get started with rom info (most are using WM6.1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419530

And what version is like official from HTC Diamond, becouse this ROMs are modified and added many programs, i want the hole ROM instalation WM6.1 for Hermes, you understand me??

There are NO official wm6.1 for hermes...they are all ported from other devices & cooked!

I know man, a said like official ROM, so where is on this forum the ROM for Hermes with WM6.1 which is most similar to "Hermes official" (if that will been)
So I look for hole ROM instalation without programs from user modificators

When searching for roms pay attention to keywords such as "clean" or "naked." These are usually stripped down and should be what you're looking for. Also, for many of the usually bloated roms they also offer "Lite" versions which don't include as much custom software.
Does that answer the question?

There was some ROM nothing changed/added/removed ... but I can't find it now.
EDIT: found it - http://rapidshare.com/files/152424620/anryl910_19212.rar.html

Can someone please tell me where can I get WM6.1 ROM for my phone

what rom did you use? go find other roms that has bug free!!!

Rom Version is 3.54.255.3 I downloaded it from some link present on this forum I don't remember now, I cannot find any other ROM for my device

There is a whole section of this forum DEVOTED to ROMs... Go to WM06 part, thats where all the newest ROMs are to be found.
Just make sure to Hard SPL your Hermes first or you may be looking at a brick...

Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1? Where? Any problem?

Hi there!
I'm thinking about upgrading my Touch Cruise to WM6.1 and if someone has some time to help me out I'll be pleased.
- Where can I find the ROM to do so?
- Can be it downgraded to WM6.0 back?
- Have anyone experienced problems with Cruise and WM6.1?
Thank you very very much!!

Hi charlietron,
Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1? - Oh YES !
Where? - HERE, Where Else ?​Any problem? - No Problems ...
Only problem is You have to help yourself and SEARCH for a start. Happy Hunting.

hehe
No problems, then? Does the HTC Today screen exist in WM6.1? And what about downgrading to WM6 again?

Well, Start Here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600

OK, I'll try... Do you know if it is possible make a backup of the current ROM? Just for security...

you shouldn t try it as a newbie..
if you want your original rom 6.0 back, you should search for a rom for your device (provider, version etc.).
if you want to backup your pim-data you can use pim-backup 2.8.
if you want to upgrade to an official rom you dont get any problems. otherwise read next
if you re not sure what to do, don t do it. read the links above and the polaris-wiki. stay here a while and listen to the actual roms to know bit more about bugs and speed etc.
when you have bit experiences here, you could upgrade (but think about the explained steps).
greets
voxid

Thanks for the advise, voxid
I think I'm gonna stay with WM6 until I see more clear my way...

Problems after installing WM6.5 from T-Mobile

Hi All,
I am new to this forum, I installed WM6.5 from T-Mo website, after dooing that I see that TouchFlo3D is not pn my TP2 anymore, also the option for START-SETTING takes me to Manilla Settings. Has anyone else experienced this. Is there a new ROM I can install. Any help will be appreciated.

try installing rom again. it should fix the problem

That ROM is a bit of a stinker. It has doccumeted issues with losing time, all of the time. If you want a stock rom you should install HardSPL and take one of the WWE 6.5 ROMs.

this time i installed rom, my phone is freezing .... i have to do atleast 2 or more resets everyday since i have installed it.

A fair number of people have discovered that re-flashing that t-mo 6.5 ROM a 2nd time has helped clear up a number of odd issues like those.
