Prophet Newbie with lots of Questions

Hello all, and sorry for my new Thread, but i tried the Search and did not get what i want. I guess the questions are allready answered, but i didn't find a real answer anywhere.
Well, i will get a XDA Neo soon, and heared about the slow processor. But there were also people talking about performance increase with a newer AKU. Well, what is an AKU and where would i get it ? Is it in the ROM and if i have the newest German Rom installed, do i also have the newest AKU ?
If not, where would i find the newest AKU and how do i install it ?
Will it affect the orifinal ROM ?
What is the newest ROM Version for a German XDA Neo ?
What is the newest AKU ?
What updates are needed for a XDA Neo (Radio etc.) and will they elliminate the warranty ?
And something completely different, i read that you can make the extended rom visible and read/write, to use it as additional storage. Is there also a way to make the 2 storage drives one big drive ?
I had a XDA Mini before and used TomTom 6 for navigating. When i activated some POI's the 3D Performace was getting very slow. Now with the slower processor i think that the navigation even without POI's will be very slow, is somebody here who tested this ? I allready downloaded OMAPclock.exe an think about overclocking my device. Will this help ?
Well, many questions, but maybe there is someone out there who can answer one or two of them, this would be really great...
Thanks in advance...

Depends on the provider, mostly it's not. You can find the latest (AKU3.2) on this forum.

AKU's are inside the ROM updates. You can get your latest ROM on QTek, Orange etc. Depending on your provider
It will erase the device. The stuff on your SD-Card will not be touched though.

AKU3.2 at the moment. But it's not official!
What updates are needed for a XDA Neo (Radio etc.) and will they elliminate the warranty ?

ROM's already contain: ROM, Radio ROM and External ROM (containing software and settings from your provider mostly). It's not legal to put an Orange ROM on you Neo, I believe you will lose warranty if they find out.

The Ex.ROM cannot be used as normal Storage. Another disadvantage will be that the SD-Card will not be available to use as storage in your camera app. The reason for this is that the External ROM takes that Mount number. Ander the camera can only show one.

TT6 works just fine. There is enough info on the web about this.

This alone will not do. Since omap is back at default after your device wakes up again. I advise you to try SmartSkey. Read how to set Omap, and what does more for you
My advice concerning updating your device. READ!! and ask yourself why you want to update. Some people (like me) are just curious and take the risks!
Hope this is enough info for now

At the end can any body tell me what is the best ROM?

I am seeing daily that ROMs are flooding this page. Can anybody tell me what is the best ROM as of today so that we can try also? That should be stable and less battery consuming.

well the best is what the members are PRESENTLY using.
and it changes very fast cause we flash/try every new cooked rom, we don't stay on one rom for so long...
so just try it ALL out and find out for yourself.

Thanks but not everybody is geek and cannot afford to flush its pda daily to see. So please tell me which is the best one so far?

the released WM6.1 is still the BEST because it came from HTC.
HTC haven't release an official WM6.5 rom for the Opal.

PhamQuang roms are great imo
im currently lookin for a clean rom but rightnow im using PhamQuang´s WM6.5 ROM V24 u can find it here:
this rom only problems (i found so far) are the dot on the calculator doesnt work (its really annoying) and a few visual problems because not all software is made to fit whit the satrt button on bottom.....
the best one always will be the one u like the most
post here which one u decide to use so we can check it out
good luck

Thanks for your reply!
I used one or two but were very buggy. So I reverted back to 6.1 and it is working very good until now. My problem is that I have installed many books related to my profession. I cannot afford to install all my programs on daily basis.
So I am waiting for a good stable version of 6.5. I don't want any manilla 2D. I have installed spb pocket plus and deactivated manila 2d.

backup

if you dont want to install all your apps (contacts, alarms, email settings,sms...) everytime you flash your phone use a backup.... i use spbbackup and it backup even when you change rom just make sure you save your backup file on the storage card and you r done.
the only problem is that app is not free but use the trial version or look for the serial (i cant provide, forum rules).....

Thanks once again for ur reply!
I am using spb back up utility. But is it possible that I backup in 6.1 and extract in 6.5???? I think no because the system files differ??

Request for Vanilla WM 6.5.5 ROM

Hi All,
Could one of the cooks please create a ROM similar to the following?
I have a need for a Vanilla WM 6.5.5 ROM. That is without sense, htc comm manager, or any htc customizations that are not essential for the ROM.
I would like no Youtube app and viewing youtube videos from m.youtube.com enabled as they are currently disabled and they redirect to youtube app. Also when viewing Youtube videos in IE and I try to go full screen it goes to fullscreen portrate mode, could landscape fullview be enabled also?
If their is already a ROM like this could someone please point me in the right direction as I have been searching for a few weeks now and found none. I did try Energy ROM titanium but it was too customized for my liking.
I would prefer not to have to cook my own ROM as I am not very good at it. I used to cook my own ROM's for my Touch Diamond but I always had problems so I have given up on cooking.
Thankyou

Thanks,
Like I said in the original post I hate having to cook a ROM because I am not very good at it. I usually leave it to last resort.
But thanks for your suggestion

You need to search for Pure ROMs.
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_0.67.405.2pure_Radio_155007_20090813R_Debug
80MB (Won't flash on ur HTC HD2)

AFAIK XtraLight is the lightest you can get. Some of the HTC screens aren't avoidable.

you can try my Lite rom

Can't tell what I am
But this ROM won't flash on your HTC HD2, you need a CID/Security Unlocked HTC HD2 for that.

I suggest you try the Miri rom! I'm using it now and it works great. Has only the most usefull HTC apps like the keyboard. Other then that everything is stock and titanium works way faster and smoother than sense

Hi, I am planning on making a vanilla version of my ROM. It will have no HTC application what so ever and will be stripped down to a bare windows version.

thanks that will be great. I am currently using miri xtralight ROM for now but m.youtube.com doesn't work but flash video on most other sites work. please when you make your rom can you make sure the site work in ie.

[Q] Garbled one way audio/turbo mode???

I'm new to this forum and searched around before I posted this but couldn't find any answers. I just installed Android on my HD2 and everything seems to work fine except for the fact that I can't hear what people are saying to me on inbound or outbound calls. However they can hear me fine. The audio is super garbled. Also the phone seems to be running in turbo mode. All the audio is faster and at a higher pitch. It doesn't matter if I'm testing out a ring tone or if I'm using the music player. I've tried several different ROMs but all have had the same result. I've also reformatted the memory card and started from scratch with each different rom that I've tried. Has anyone else experienced this? Please help!
Thanks

What base windows mobile rom you use?
I had that problem with energy barebone rom.
Now i am on Miri v17 windows mobile rom,problem solved.

I suggest you upgrade to radio 2.12.50. This has been posted many times as a solution to your problem.
There is a thread stickied as the complete guide to android on your HD2. I suggest you locate it and read it.
Good luck.
Sent from my Android HD2 via XDA app

If your using stock rom get off of it i was having the same problem i were until i flashed a custom rom.
sent from my hd2 running android froyo

Yeah, I've been using the stock rom. I'll flash to a different ont. Has anyone had any luck with the stock one?
jelliottz: I looked around for that radio but I couldn't find a direct dl to it. Do you have a link?

Head on over to the Rom development page for the HD2. It's listed in the "ultimate radio thread". NRGZ28 also lists a link in all of his roms to this radio. I am using one of his WinMo roms along with that radio in my Android setup and it works great.

Has anyone found a WM rom that works with active sync?

?? ermm, they all do

Huh... That's weird, for some reason I can't get it to sync anything... I remember my first time.... haha oh wait...

Thanks for everyone's help. Just in case anyone comes across this and had the same problems as me:
1. Flash w new WM rom. (Energy is sick)
2. Get a new radio
3. Active sync doesn't work with office 2010 64 bit (you have to install the 32 bit version)

do you have Cyanogenmod Settings in Settings? if so, there should be section for custom brightness levels, where you can set it separately for the screen and for the hardkeys - at least that's how it is in AMA, which is CM-based
