Cooked ROMs and Windows Mobile 6.5 - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

Hi, I'm newbie to Windows Mobile World, coming from Symbian and I'm a little confused about all these new terms, etc...
My question is that if I install a cooked ROM for Win 6.5 this will also upgrade my 6.1 to 6.5, or I need first to update Win to 6.5 and then install cooked ROM for this version ?
Thanks.

No, u can directly update to a 6.5 cooked rom.
Have fun

Don't forget to HardSPL first!!!!!!!! Without this you can't install cooked rom's!

yes, use hardspl first !!! then copy TOPAIMG.nbh to memory card, power off the phone then use volume down key and power button to boot-up and update the new rom or image. missing symbian already...

So maybe a little newbie question from me... What exactly are RADIO ROMs and how do they differ from "normal" roms?

To my knowledge a radio rom is a rom containing firmware for the phone's radio. Newer versions can give better coverage or improve battery life.

One question, I am also a nOOb
I have XDA Orbit (same as P3300) with installed Touch Flo software.
Can I install this rom?
Quick answer is......: YES
But don't forget that you will loose all your saved personal data and your installed programs.
And don't forget to read this also:

Prepare for really nOOb-ish question
I bought used XDA Orbit, and he has already installed WM6 Touch Flo.
What will be my next step, do I need only to install Tom-Oops-Black-v1.0-WWE?
I suppose that my XDA Orbit 02 is already unlocked
First you need to know what do you want to do...
Trying to explain to you, touch flo is just like a program installed with flo functions.
If you flash a new ROM, you must see if it has or not touch flo, wich programs it has standardly, etc.
Tom-Oops-Black-v1.0-WWE is not a program that you install... It's a ROM that you flash...
Explaining to you in another way...
Is like... You now have XP on your desktop and you want to have Vista. In the desktop case you have to install vista.
In the PDA case you have to flash a new ROM.
Did you understood? hope so :d

I have few problems with my O2 XDA Orbit
At least once a day I am unreachable. On Home Screen everything is normal, but people cannot reach me.
I checked for installed ROM :
WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.162 (build 18521.0.7.0)
ROM Version Artemis Touch 3.01 WWE
Radio 03.07.90
Protocol 4.1.13.51
I would like to try new Black Ops ROM.
Do I first need to do this, or just install a new ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
Do I need to format SD Card or not?
I there any tutorial how to install a ROM on the forum (please link)?
Sorry once again on my noobish questions, I still learning about all this.
I think it's better you run allways USPL first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
So RUN IT before flash the new ROM!!
Since you're going from one cooked ROM to another, flash the new ROM twice to make sure everything goes ok.
You don't need to format your SD card. BUT, if you have programs installed on it, they problably will not work.
Cheers
@Zecanilis
Thnx
I successfully installed Black Ops ROM.
First I run USPL and then I installed new ROM.
Everything is OK for now.
If you have more problems with network or if your battery is draining more than usual, try to upgrade your Radio ROM.
You will not loose any data upgrading your Radio ROM and can give you better reception and less battery drain.

Can you please tell me which Radio ROM would you recommend?
Now I have installed 3.08.90
I recomend you to try 3.21.90. For me and for most of users is the best choice.
This doesn't mean that is the best for you, but just flash it and see if is good for you.
cheers
Thnx once more for you more than helpfull post.
I will try new radio rom in next couple of days, first I would like to test this one just for comparison.

Windows Mobile 6.5 on Elf? Possible?

Hey

hello yes i ve done it in french

Thanks for posting a warez site [which is illegal anyways], when he asked for a 6.5 ROM [which are available on this site].
Here's two I highly recommend. With all due respect to other ROM cooks [makers], dsixda and kancrutt make their ROMs seem professional, stable and just overall good. I am personally not going to flash those ROMs with no list of installed programs and about one screenshot.
dsixda's Onyx.
kancrutt's SX.

WM 6.1 Rom without Software

Hi,
I'm searching for a rom for my xda orbit .. My current rom ist from O2 with WM6 .. But i like the view of the SMS and MMS in WM6.1
So i search a rom where only WM6.1 is included withoud any software like cube, htc home or something else.
Is theire a existing rom?
hey palood, i dont know if there are still wm 6.1 rom's online, but if u check the rom section on the artemis forum then u will see a few "lite" versions of WM 6.5 which are probably suitable for you.
these versions dont have manila,touchflo, cubes or any other graphical enhancements
See this for example ... WM6.5...look the lite version link or use the search function in this forum -->link
Hi..
Thanks for the tip to use WM6.5. The reason of my question about WM6.1 is that I heard a lot about WM6.5 that it is very slowly on the orbit. So I tested MossisV3 Rom. Many people wrote that this rom is very fast. But on my orbit it is very slowly. When I touch the display the xda need about 1-2 seconds to react.
WM6.1 was really fast.
I will test your tip of a clean WM6.5 Rom and hope that it is faster then the other rom.
Do you know a 6.1 Version?
wm 6.5 isnt slow. maybe that rom u tested was a crappy rom, i dont know. but there are a lot of fast roms in 6.5
if u really want a 6.1 rom, u should search forums if there are still 6.1 roms hosted.

Help HSPL

Right, I have read the whole thread for noobs about this, but I have questions that I still need answerd.
How do I find what Windows Mobile I use 6.5 or 6.5.5
If I have 1.42.000SPL Do I upgrade to 1.42HSPL?
If I need to send it back do I just need to change the HSPL back to a Stock SPL?
Once I have 1.42HSPL installed can I choose any ROM?
When I install a new ROM does it effect the internet via orange and my wifi?

use hspl 2 and upgrade to whatever you like, personally I chose 2.08.hspl and never changed it since.
If I need to send it back do I just need to change the HSPL back to a Stock SPL?
yes, run hspl 2 and choose 1.42.0000
Once I have 1.42HSPL installed can I choose any ROM?
yes

All the stock roms are 6.5.0 (build numbers start 21xxx) 6.5.5 roms have build numbers starting 235xx. I did start a thread on this subject last week. if you have searched you would have found it and your questions answered.
Thanks alot

Forget about speed in WM6.5. It's not designed for Blackstone. Stay with 6.1

3.is it possible after installing a rom to reinstall the original and if yes how can i backup tthe original?
thanks for all the answers in advance
MOD EDIT - Thread moved to General forum. All queries should be posted here. Only rom development is allowed in rom development forum
...
1.you can test my 6.1 rom that im currently making if you want? (private message me if you would like to test it)
2.personally i found the speed is slightly faster on 6.1roms
3.visit the xda touch hd wiki for the original rom dumps, its too much work to dump the rom yourself so just download one thats already been done. to be honest, you wont even need it.. there is a wide variety of differant custom roms avaliable. (+ the original roms are crap )
Rn
any ather suggestions ?for the rom?
1. Kwbr_Topix_3.5_Weather_WM6.1, M2.1
2. Park's ROM Basic 1.3 WM6.1, M2.1
Two fastest ROMs on the planet (both WM6.1)
You can still find them in ROM section
i can find them in the forum or iam doing something wrong, do you have them ?or someone else.
PARK's ROM:
