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!

Windows reinstall or upgrade

Hello All,
I have a problem with my HTCP3300. I have no alarm sounds active (calendar appointments, tasks etc.)
There are some errors giving during work with it (error with exe.file).
I tried to find english version to reinstall it, but couldn't find enywhere.
I would be grateful if someone helps me with advise where to find english version or newer one in order to solve my problems.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe you're searching in the wrong forum. Go to Artemis Mobile 6, there are lots of ROMs (Tom_Codon, Meschle, Fracoon....)
Most of them are in english (WWE).
Remember: Don't forget to run USPL before flashing or you will brick your phone...
Cheers

Please, be so kind to advise me what is that ROM ?
Is it the one I should look for in order to solve my problem.
I have been reading through the link you sent me, but I am afraid I am not that good in this.

I personally use the official HTC WM6 rom V3.7. Its from HTC asia but its in english (as that seems to be the primary language for a few places over there). Running for months now and all is good. Fast, no bugs, no problems on my MDA III.

If I install ARTEMIS TOUCH 2.0 WWE - would it be Ok to my htcp3300 ?

Qtek 9090 help!

Ey people,
I really like this forum and i just joined
I have 2 questions and i hope you guys can answer it .
1: What is the best(newest) windows version for my qtek 9090?
2: I just installed helmi's windows mobile version 6.1 pro.
what can i do with: Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab?
Thanks, and bye!!

Hi qtek9090f,
Welcome to the forum! If you haven't done so already, please take a look at the forum rules.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488533
Now, to your questions...
The best and latest rom so far... well, there are two roms that could be considered the greatest and latest...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482997 (look in xplodes' signature for the rom)
and this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488925
You can go either way since both are fantastic roms... Now, as far as Helmi's cab, if I am not mistaken that is HTC's home plugin from WM5 that came out a while ago. You do not need to install it (unless you want to of course). There are far better UIs out there (at least in my opinion)...
Hope this helps and once again, welcome

[Help] Update recomendation on xda exec

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.

Completely Confused.

Hi People...
I am completely confused... I want upgrade my HTC Viva to wm6.5, but all the forum of Rom have many issues.. i am not able to understand which Rom to install..
can anybody help me out...
Thanks

do like what we do... experiment.

Hi all,
I'm a bit like don_yogesh, confused!
These toys are not so easy to update... when u don't know how ^^.
A fair bit of reading will be necessary !
Cheers.

these roms id say are not worth experimenting...for windows mobile 6.5 there are no need of certain applications like htc notifications and htc volume changer<tht doesnt work> i simply dont know why in roms they are there....if they made a rom clean of those ill be more than glad to experiment

It's been long i have not posted in XDA, i have just purchase the New VIVA and i am quiet interested to know, which cooked rom is serving well to VIVA users ?

You can try PDAVIET wm 6.5 rom v25 (just go through the december's 2009 post) I find this one is functioning well in my viva t2223. Just some minor bug, audio manager doesn't work and it drains battery.
Or you can wait and wait and be left out of experimenting...which is the joy to all these moddings...
Moreover, this is not paid site which host only fully finished/bugless softwares, HELP by trying out the roms...mods and report bugs and in return you learn more and more.
Also, post any good softwares/games/themes which you have come across in the appropriate sections. Sharing is the keyword here.
Sorry if I offended you. be cool.
My greets to the mods and senior members.
