I am really starting to hate my Alpine!

OK got a Himalaya and an Alpine (XDA branded) and my Himalaya is very happy now running WM2005 1.60a and the Alpine is running the O2 1.10 ROM.
I had forgotten how unstable WM2003se was compared to WM2005!
The phonepad keeps breaking, have to reinstall from cab files regularly, had to do this on the Himalaya too so it's not the particular ROM or anything I don't think.
Crashes, and lockups, corruption on the today screen that either require a soft reset or messing about changing today themes.
My problem is this, on the Himalaya running 2005, I have many apps installed to my SD card, which is fine, but when I need to use WiFi I need to unplug that to use the SDIO WLAN card, so I am unable to then use many of the programs installed.
Damn shame to let this Alpine gather dust, considering it has 128mb ram and rom, and could run 2005 so much better.
Are there any any newer English ROMs for the Alpine, or should I sit and wait with it boxed up until someone releases something else for it?

I was very annoyed at people working on 2005 for xda2 at the time as I believed that we would get grief from MS about it. It seems that, on the whole, that hasn't happened.
I got a 2i thinking that it would be the next upgrade, therefore when an even newer one comes along - ie Universal - I would be better placed to flog the 2i to pay for it. I'm almost starting to regret that decision as I would dearly love the have 2005 on my 2i...and if I had kept the xda2 I would have been enjoying 2005y goodness by now. Grrr!!
Bring on Universal that's what I say!!

Yes there's other released roms for your ALPINE especially from IMATE and Qtek... So get the Pda2 WWE ROM from IMATE and try to use it on you XDA2i..
Good Luck my friend..

where can us xda 2i owners find th imate rom!?

Yeah, I thought you had to enter your IMEI to access images on the i-mate site.
Have you got a direct link please?

Here!

Many thanks, getting it now

Alan,
I read your thread and have similar dislikes about me Alpine. I have an O2 XDAIIi.
How did your upgrade go?
I downloaded the ROM upgrade but haven't installed it. I am really green at this and not sure how/if I should back up the ROM I have in case I need to restore. Did you do that? Can you guide me on how?
If the ROM upgrade was successful, were you able to install 2005? Again, can you point me in the direction of that download, and instructions.
Greatly appreciated,
Kyle

Try this page, it's about the most up to date ROM for the 2i at the moment. I've had no problems with it at all.

Urm.. you didn't actually post a link?
I am using the i-mate one at the moment, too many people seem to be having problems with the O2 1.11 ROM

True
Sorry, blonde moment there.

I reckon the problem with the new O2 ROM is the radio stack is still the original one. The radio stack on the ROM in the above link is the much better I-mate one with the updates of the O2 ROM.

HP6828 with o2 atom rom?

i was wondering since these 2 pda phones its the same OEM..can i use o2atom rom on hp6828??is this recommended??
sorry if my question is stupid,kinda new to pda stuff

Interested to know, too, as we see Atom has various rom update with significant improvement, while many us HP owners still waiting and waiting for their 1st rom update....
If indeed Atom (or Exec) rom can be used, at least we can enjoy a seemingly more mature (and relative bug-free) rom on our HP hardware.

I am thinking of getting an atom because of the ROM improvement, but what make me consider the hp hw6828 is I like hp design, if hp can take atom ROM then I have no worries in getting the hp now

Does the HP have a bootloader? if yes then you should be able to use O2 rom the only thing is that the hardware keys are different but that is something quite easy to get around.

Hey man, dont try it pls, i try it becoz some mistake. u know wat happen?????
Everything fine, but when the device come out " Tap Screen To Start", I try everywhere on the screen, but nothing happen!!!!!!!! so, guess how???? Maybe some solutions to flash back to Hp ROM.....
anyone help?????????????

Slow Camera Capture in ComVu and MS Portrait

Is anyone else experiencing very slow video capture in ComVu and MS Portrait, and also that only one camera (the front facing) is recognized, and that the video conf. camera does not show under the options?
Anyone tried this again with the newer dopod rom updates to see if it is fixed?
Thanks!
Ray

COMVU
hi,
Is the same with me (comvu) I asked them the reason for the slow camera and that only one cam (the back cam) was supported. They answered back that they are working on it , but untill now, HTC 3300 is officialy not supported. Something to do with the firmware ( the off. HTC firmware unbranded or branded)
About MS portrait , it's only beta version, but I think they ran into the same problem as Comvu.
All these programs are working fine on my QTEK 9000

Thanks for the reply. I am a little confused by your 'the off. HTC firmware unbranded or branded' statement. Are you saying you have tried the original ROM and the new Dopod updated ROM and the problem exists in both? Also, did you mean 3600 not 3300?
Thanks!

comvu
sorry , away for a few day's. Yes I m talking about the 3600.
and I did'nt try the dopod rom.Only a simlock free 3600 from HTC , no brand, no logo from a operator.

Thanks. Anyone have the new Dopod ROM and could try this out?
Thanks

doesn't work with new dopod rom
I have tried ms portrait with the new dopod rom and it only supports the back camera.
greetings from holland

Crap . Thanks for checking it out though. Is the performance any better, or is it still 2-3FPS?

still slow
In ms portrait the video is still slow with the new dopod rom.

HTC TyTN II
My Camera capturing is very slow too. When there is some better lightening its little bit faster, but it isn't so comfortable as i want.
I'm sory for my English

[Ask]Date and Time go factory setting after Removing Battery.

Its a known problem for atom & atom exec the date and time was go to factory setting after you remove the battery.
This is the same problem as Dopod C800, Dopod 838, Dopod D600.
But there is a fix for The dopod but not the atom.
are the master here can patch the fix so its work for our atom ??
because i already try the fix and use it on my atom pure and atom exec and its still not working..
Here is the attached fix for the dopod.
Thanks you
