Hi all
I am new user here in polaris section, but I just got myself one 4 days ago.
I noticed there is alot of norwegians, here so I guess a wm6.1 rom in norwegian could be nice
it will ofcourse be a beta, since its my first release in polaris.
Guess you can call it a hybrid when it comes to language, but most apps will be norwegian, but on top of english os.
I hope I can release the rom tonight (norwegian time)
Im at work now, so i cant provide screens yet, but that will come with the rom, maybe before.
satser på at dette kan bli bra..
Looking forward to it! I might finally take the plunge and flash a cooked rom..

Nice, I guess this would be quite interessting for many norwegians although there isnt really THAT much different from having an english ROM.

working on it
But its not far off
I`ll try it, as soon you realese it.
Høres spennende ut.
sounds brilliant
just have to figure out what to do with my phone atm...
any of you know if the device code for tomtom changes after change of rom?
I bought maps of scandinavia, would suck to loose them...
This is great news! I will try it when you release it, looking forward to it!
Kjempebra jobbet, gleder meg!
nope, if you store your maps and all on sd-card, then you will not have to activate again, tomtom will recognise the maps and key.
Great!
Kjempegreier!
Good, looking foreward to this. Myself I gave up trying to cook a Norwegian ROM using the Polaris Kitchen. If it will be a mix of languages as you state, I wonder if it would not be better to go for a clean english OS, and just add norwegian keyboard and XT9.
I for one, hate mixed language OS's. A mix of Program Files and Programfiler etc. Just makes a mess.

At last!! Been waiting ages for someone like you
Looking forward to your ROM
Is it possible to get:
1. only Norwegian keyboard/keypad with XT9?
Keep it up man
Super(t)!
This is good news for all us Norwegians here @ xda
I will absolutely give it a try, when a cooked "nor-rom" comes out.
Lykke til!
getting any closer?
Allright, good news here
There is released a norwegian wm6.1 for kaiser, so im downloading it from e.club now.
I will start working on porting the rom tonight or tomorrow, and im sure within a few days I will have the first beta up and running.
cheers
Hi,
All the "official" versions does not seem to really official ones there are too many bugs that remind of a cooked ROM
does HTC really going to publish ROM WM6.1 for Polaris?? when??
uh yeah HTC confirmed that they are working on a new ROM with WM6.1, and it will be released any time now..

ahah, you think that this ROM it's a fake?! how can you say this?
well, when I flash that rom, unmodded, My startbutton and my screen is messed up, just like in several builds that both I and others has ported. This goes for polaris, herald and kaiser.
If I replace certain files in sys with ones from original wm6.0 rom (polaris), that problem goes away. Same if I make a rom for Kaiser..I take this file from the official build and replace in the ported one, the problem go away.
This issue is well known with newer ports. I really doubt HTC would release a such obvious flaw (But then again..I would not be surprised either)
I might be wrong in beliving its a fake, but I really dont belive its the final product. I dont know what source you get the rom from, and I can "eat my words" if im wrong.
I wanna add that I dont question your honesty UDK, not at all. Cause I have had my share of supply of official builds, that has turned up to be fake.
udk and itje
Gosh, if Norway and Switzerland work together, then a bomb will come out of it.
Not your opinion?
LOL
@itje: Unfortunately, this is the final release and yes, does not works well, it's run very slow and there are some lag.. the ITA version is much slower than the WWE version, but I repeat, these ROM are not fake, there is also a RUS, GER and SPA version with the same core and OEM, are all fake? I think no

hello,
Can we have a French one PLZ
Where do you find this ROM ? Have you special access on HTC club ? have you a friend who works for an operator or HTC?
If you think it is a fake rom, why not go to the HTC site and see if an official rom is available... I would do this however I have an O2 Orbit not official HTC cruise!

Both you and me can make multilanguage based on same core and OEM.
Slow and lag..all official roms I have seen has slowness and lagging.. So I didnt base my doubts on that.
Its more the booting issues that makes me wonder. But hey, I am man enough to say I was wrong, so im not gonna sit here and go on fight for something that I cant prove.
Either its this or that, we'll just see when the official hits the support pages at HTC, if it has the same issue, then we know if its the final official build or not that is here with us now

I don't think they are fake, since they are signed and flashable without HardSPL. But if they are the final release or some test/preview we don't know until they are posted on the web.
They have been available for some time already, if they indeed are the final build, why are they still not put on htc.com?
Perhaps they are going to re-package udK's Syrius or Itjes latest and release those instead.The Polaris user group would be much happier then
Spanish ROM
I´ve installed the spanish rom and if I use the original SPL it gets changed by a new one with version POLA100/3.130000/CPLD-2.
I´ve never seen that on a cooked rom.

Agree totally with you. A device such as ours last for a year. Why do you want HTC people to devote time on present and past devices ? They have already announced new generations to come within the next few months.
Still, I think my Polaris will still be useful until such time a much much better PDA comes to light.
Besides, take away XDA-developers and some other sites, do you think the manufacturers will have more creative minds? No sir, people like you and other
guys alike itje and udk are their main contributors for good ideas. Our forums are read daily by all manufacturers.
Keep it up

Yes... with 6.1, the Polaris just becomes a more stable version of itself, with some enhancements -- more of what it should've been upon release. Will definitely hold us over until WM7, at which point it'll be a good time to get a newer device

I think the reason they don't post it on the web is because not all languages are ready yet. When they post it every language should be available or there will be another problem, right ?
For now I'm using wwe (waiting for portuguese) and it works flawlessly. Ok, I don't have manilla but all radio function work, I've got voip working, I can use wmplayer with htc home (so my calls don't get everything malfunctioning while using bluetooth), and I got portuguese keyboard working (registry tweak needed). So I think it's probably the real deal. And let's face it if they released a upgrade with manilla would you buy the new touch for 600€ while you can get a polaris for 400€ nowadays? So we will be stucked with a stripped version of wm6.1 or if you look on the bright side at least is wm6.1 and stable.
Here is the TIME for Official WM6.1 on htc.com ???
I think the TIME is coming NOW !!! Because the link now not available, but only the Cruise Software site !!! I hope sooooo
Hi
Just visited HTC site to see if they have put the O2 branded ROM update up yet and the 1.48 ROM that was there yesterday seems to have gone?? Here's hoping they are re-uploading it to apply to ALL HD2s !
Hmmm I just checked and yeah it doesn't exist anymore... maybe they pulled it and because 1.61 is maybe coming out very soon?
Worldwide it does not appear if you go to the UK site it is still there.... silly me!!

I was just there, impatiently checking for a UK release of the 1.61 ROM, and the 1.48 is still there. It's dated 9/12/09, which we know is rubbish, but still there!

1.48 was total bogus afaik, and im thinking htc realized that too now, seeing how they without-a-doubt will know that roughlly half the hd2 users from this forum already run 1.61, since it DOESNT HAVE BROKEN CORE FUNCTIONALITYS, like one would expect from a hightech phone.
1.48 is Gone from htc site over here aswell, i srsly hope there will be a official worldwide 1.61 soon

No mate - the release date is rubbish. I think they should be a bit more careful about their release dates, as that's more like the date that it was "leaked", but not "officially" available on their site. (Lots of " when I talk about HTC "release" process )
Incidentally, it's still available in the UK. It doesn't make sense!

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=804
They never removed it from the site... and it was never in the support list... On my side, I've got the official link from xda... Hopefully, some poeples here read the (boring) official announcments
I think they've removed it because it doesn't have a so much good overall performance/number of bugs/usability improvements.
Anyway, the 2.01 ROM is a whole new story.
Not sure if this is old or new news....new firmware version released today
http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=854
An updated ROM is now available for HTC HD2 customers to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.
Installation Instructions:

South East Asia ? Is this a WWE ROM ?

( No doubt in 1 hours time someone will come online and say "My sms got stuck in the outbox again...." )
Anyone else got it in their region? I'm browsing regions, but SEA region seems to be the only one with it right now

I concur - just checked Europe and UK. We score "nil pwa", as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest. Apologies to non-Europeans, if you don't understand, google it!
Please tell me it fixed more than just the SMS issue...... i'm on the edge of this or a milestone and so far, the Milestone seems the less buggy!
oooohhhh!!! this could be the day ladies and gents ..still nothing on the UK site tho.
don't expect too much hahah If the previous SMS patches are of any indication, we might be disappointed.
The old 1.48 has been pulled from the danish HTC site... It might be a sign of better things to come
Edit: Now the 1.48 is up again.... Weird...
Does anyone know which version of WM it has, I would persume it would be a good time to go 6.5.3

It won't upgrade the OS. They'd certainly not wrap up the "6.6" release (as they're now referring to it) by saying it fixes some SMS problems.
Expect a fanfare and ticker-tape parade when they up the OS.
Thai ROM
There is now ROM version 1.66 available for thai region. If anyone here has a thai region phone, could you please download the new ROM and upload it to HCTpedia repository for official ROMs. I want to try this ROM, but it can only be downloaded using a serial number from a thai region phone, and I don't have that.
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0
Apparently it was released yesterday for Vodafone UK customers...
ROM:1.72.161.3
- Where's HTC's 1.72 release?
I was speaking to Voda 2nd line support about this a week and a bit ago.
Its basically the 1.66 rom with 2.08 radio bundled in. No changes to ROM as far as i know just new radio.
EDIT: oh yeah i forgot... its also supposed to fix the issue with downloading pictures that Vodafone HD2 customers might have experienced. As we all know every major network is now compressing images to make their 3G/HSPA networks faster. With Vodafone what is supposed to happen is you will see the compressed image when browsing but when you download that picture it is uncompressed.... this functionality waasnt working previously. This ROM is supposed to fix it.
Well the radio in it is the 2.07.51.22

lol... maybe the 2.08 radio didnt pass his test then.
The guy i was speaking to was the guy testing the ROM... i got talking to him just a few minutes before he recieved the ROM from HTC and the above is what he told me.
Ive just emailed him to confirm whether the picture downloading issue is resolved so when he replies i will ask him why the 2.08 radio isnt in there.

Is that something HTC changed on 1.66 to 1.72 codebase?
Or is it something that Vodafone have done...
Anyone with developer/chef skills able to take this apart and look at the software versions being used.
I'd like to know if its 1.66ROM with some "fixes" or whether its actually a 1.72ROM like the codebase a lot of the custom ROM that haven't gone 2.x are using...
It does appear to be based on the 1.72 ROM as most of the EXT packages in it are what I was using for my ROM which is based on 1.72 and it's using base 21869...looks like VF are ahead of the game!!

I have both HD2 and Desire (ok the Desire is the wifes but its on my contract so I am paying for it) and whilst the Desire has some very nice features I honestly prefer the HD2...
Right so anyway should I wait for the HTC 1.72 release (if it ever happens), or install the extracted NBH from this and then re-apply 2.09.51.03 Radio...
