Hi guys,
After so many sleepless nights in configuring the WM2003 rom for your ppc, now its the time for you to determine your most stable rom.
If possible kindly tell us the reason why you opted so!!!
:lol:
Well I'm running 2.02 from dcs, the first and only upgrade i've tried because basically, it works.
I have an Orange SPV M1000 with the orange extrom upped by djms?. Like i said, i've had no problems with this so i ain't changing until we can get either an offical SE release or until Mamaich can complete his Chineese rom translation.
If i had to mention anything, the only slight niggle is the bluetooth headset today plugin disappearing from time to time, but a simple click of the start menu brings it back.
Any other thoughts .....

Thats common but dont you think that there are more bugs in dcs rom?
1) Ugly cleartype font (unless u dun cleartype it)
2)Loud speaker phone bug.
Have u voted the best rom for you, if yes...well done :lol:
bluetooth headset today plugin disappearing from time to time
happen to both version 2.02ti & 2.06
but not 2.20CHS
&
No Loud speaker phone bug
Running BT (on ) for full day, received/maked 15+calls at night battery still got 70% and above
wat bout battery consumption/ i read in one post, that the battery consumption is more compared to the 1.72 ROM series...
is that true? is it a noticable difference? thats the only reason i have not yet upgraded yet from the 1.72 ROM.
currently, my device lasts one full day...about 12 hrs., including GPRS usage. i dont use bluetooth at all. If i can get more or less the same usage from the new rom, then i would take the effort to upgrade.
In any case, from all the various versions running around, can people tell us about the battery usage?
regards

Hi mani,
I guess your post is best to be at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13698
So that u r not off-topic here.
This thread is strictily for those already upgraded to WM2003SE. Nevertheless you still got the option to vote which is apparently "None" at the poll question.
No hard feeling but pls dun put irrelevant topic here....
Good Luck
Here is what I found out
General pros of both versions compared to 1.72
- Faster boost
- Nicer Icons
- Rotatble Screen (that's why we all upgraded in the first place )
2.02 Cons
- Loud Speaker (you probably won't need speaker phone ever)
- Screen Scrumble (this happens when you scroll up and down while in landscape mode)
- Voice calls will be cut dead once the device is turned off, esp. when you're on power saving mode (my initial reaction was to press my fingers at the screen to keep it alive and to prolong my conversation)
2.06 Cons
- Some applications in the extended rom will completely kill the phone functionality and hang the screen IF soft-reset is ever performed while in landscape mode. You can refer to my suspected lists at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=73207#73207
- Seems to me that ClearType is much better in portrait than in landscape mode.
- Screen Scrumble resolved
General Cons of both versions
- Some of the today plugin programs are so fond of playing hide&seek (esp. BT profile). Refreshing the today screen mitigate this issue.
- Uninstalling some incompatible programs such as Widcomm BT Stack can permanently mute the system sounds (incl. incoming rings)
- Some says power consumption is fast (I don't really notice the difference, it might dry up faster for me but only because I was playing more with it :lol: )

Hi ken,
Good review. Do continue your findings and let everyone of us know!
Thanks :lol:
plus and minus
I know it is not nice to re-post but it seems to me that the most important thread is now dead, so I will post it here:
Hey there guys!
Few days ago I shared with you my disappointment with both 2.02t and 2.06 versions because both seemed really unstable. My ppc was constantly freezing, would boot for 1 minute if at all, bluetooth problems and such, soft and hard resets 3-5 times a day
I decided to go back to 1.72WWE (edsub's one) and it went well. But then all of a sudden all the problems continued - soft/hard resets. I really didn't know what has happened. I am not quite sure but I think that except for the last re-flash the cradle was not connected to a power supply, but only to a powered USB port. All the times the main battery was fully charged - something i've learnt as a must when flashing gsm phones.
My original configuration was 1.72WWE, Radio 1.14 and all the times I upgraded to either radio 1.17 or 1.18.
Two days ago I decided for the last time to try again with 2.06 but with radio version 1.14 - the one included in the original file (fyu I used the mysteryman WindowsMobile2003SE.exe and didn't touch anything but the operator ID in ms.nbf.
I flashed my MDA2 (I don't know why but this time the upgrade took LESS TIME than my previous attempts or at least I think so), hard-reseted it, allowed the Extended ROM 2.06.100a to install and as it contains only win2k3SE compatible software it was no issue (callerIDb10, cameraB10, clearvue3.4.381 and mms1.5.0.24)
Cleartype fonts are fine. I removed the built-it MS Bluetooth stack (deleting all the keys in the registry) and installed widcomm's 1.5 and it works just fine. I installed Netfront, spb 2.2 plus, gprs monitor 2.1, weather panel, icq, resco explorer 2003, resco keyboard 4.21, phonExt. Screen rotates in less than a second.As of this moment - everything is just STABLE.
The only thing is the soft-reset boot. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds, sometimes it takes 15. The "Phone not ready" appeared only once when I tried to access the phone options, but I guess it was because the gsm part was not registered yet with the network or something with my 64k stk SIM card.
I would suggest you all - not to cook a special extended rom but install the mystery man's update without any changes (except the operator/language ids). Then install anything you need. Avoid to install programs not designed for SE. It didn't hurt in my case to put 2 items on the today screen that are not se-compatible - but who knows.
Because I didn't know how to make myself an installable .CAB file for my operator settings (like MMS, GPRS internet i.e.) I just extracted those things from my registry in a .reg file and after a hard-reset I just run the .reg file and it is all there (resco file explorer needed of course) - this includes: RAS settings for MMS, INTERNET, MMS server settings for the mms-application, Device Name, bluetooth profiles, paired devices list, all of my phonext ringtone settings, timezone, etc...
Now my device shows:
ROM: 2.06.00WWE (14-JUNE-2004)
RADIO: 1.14.00
PROTOCOL: 1337.24
ExtROM: 2.06.100a
Windows Mobile 2003 SE
ver. 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)
T-Mobile MDA2
MMC 256MB Transcend
Bluetooth widcomm 1.5.0.108
Yours,
Dean
p.s. My opinion is: the best way to flash is to use a notebook/laptop or ups'd pc - to prevent power loss during the upgrade. To use powered USB port. Not to touch the PC while the upgrade goes on. And to disable ActiveSync for searching usb connection - all things from the dsc's post.
Loud Speaker Problem
The Loud Speaker Problem is on all the threee versions.
It will occur perpetually after running some apps. e.g. Screen rotate or Calendar.

I am using 2.06 with registry tweaks from 2.02t1. It is stable, with good handsfree enabled (faster transfer to G2 headset, last call re-dial etc).
However, I would love to have a good port of 2.20CHS WMP10 mobile files over. I believe that all 3 versions must share certain key similarities for the ROM to work on the XDA2 device.
Therefore, it should be possible to port WMP10 over to other versions.
henrylim: What registry tweaks? And why did you apply them?

Because of all the expected mssing around with my original T-Mobile 1.60.00 ROM combined with a Bluetooth GPS, I decided to upgrade. It all works now, just let me share my findings with you:
I wanted the 1.72WWE and 1.14 Radio ROM, no Beta, but also wanted to keep my Dutch T-Mobile custumisations.
I took the recently released QTek 1.72 ROM
Unpacked it
Threw the extende rom file away
Changed the 'country code' from qtek to tmobile (see link on xda-developers mainpage)
Backed up my device using Activesync backup
Started the upgrade
UhOh: 'USB 1.03' on screen and nothing happening
Restarted upgrade
Went smooth all along
Hard reset: YES!! 1.72.00WWE / 1.14.00 radio with all my beloved Dutch T-Mobile customisations (ext rom 1.60.38)
Performed restore. THIS probably wasnt the smartest idea, because right after that my device was quite unstable. '
So: Did a 'permanent save' backup
and a Hard reset again.
Rock steady since then!
To get Bluetooth & BT GPS working frightened me a bit: getting that to work should be proof of the pudding to justify my upgrade.
Fiddled around 2 hours (com ports, gps viewer software that accompanied the GPS and what have you got . . .), until I tried the simple stupid method:
Switch on Bluetooth
Bond the BPS
Start TomTom GPS
Select NMEA 0183v2 9600 and Bluetooth GPS
I am very happy!!
For those that are still lokking for a decent cheap BT GPS: Search on ebay for DCONNEX. They sell for around 80 euros + 28 euros shipping. The DCONNEX DC-230 is in fact a rebadged Holux GR-230. Works like a charm, and for the price of a wire solution!
Works!!!!!
even imat v1.72 works great with BT GPS with no added BT tools

Is the same ROM.
Eelco is right
As long as you look just at the os & radio roms both QTek 1.72 and IMate 1.72 are the same.
Difference is withing the extended rom.
because I liked to keep the Duthc T-Mobile customisations (well not all, but most of them) I re-used my old extended rom.
Hello,
Help with 1.72 ROM set up.
I'm very excited about how you have set up your device, but I'm not fully certain how to do the same.
I have looked for the ROM unpacker, but the only thing I see on this site is the ER-Edit.
I currently have the T-Mobile UK Beta 1.72 on my device, and I'm not real happy with it.
If you can and if it is not too much trouble, could you please provide me a little more specific directions on how you accomplished your set up. I'm in the USA, and I upgraded from 1.60.36, which I was not very happy with either. I liked 1.60 better.
My major concerns lie with the country id error, and using parts of different extended roms and radio stacks, but I'm willing to try.
Thank You, Ed
Well since you now have 1.72 on the device its really quite simple.
(You might as well consider upgrading to the non-beta 1.72 from imate or Qtek, i used Qtek)
Foor the external rom customisations:
Unpack an update (like the 1.60 you mentioned) using winrar
Using the directions on thsi site determine your current çountry id FOR THE EXTENDED ROM
using the directions on this site (xda2nbf) change the country id for the extende rom file (ms_.nbf)
remove the other .nbf (nb and radio) files
Upgrade your device
Cold reset
Yopur device should now be a bit in the right direction
Install the extende rom-unlocker found in this forum
unhide & unlock the extended rom
Now you can add/remove programs from the extended rom.
adding goes like:
1. place .cab file of program to be installed in extended rom
2. add CAB line in config.txt just before the current last line
removing goes like:
1. remove cab file of program you dont like
2. remove accompanying line in config.txt
Dont forget to lock you extended rom afterwards so the contents is kept during any reset.
hope this helps.
also : search the forum on the topics extended rom unlock
edsub,
Thank you very much. Your response is very helpful, and sends me in the right direction. The winrar was the missing peice that I did not have.
I'm familiar with the extended rom part, but I have not played around with the .nbf, nor the rom locking.
The UK beta 1.72 I have does not seem real stable to me. I'm thinking of going with the iMate or Qtek 1.72, as you suggest.
Thanks again I'll see what I can manage.
Ed

Hi all,
I've recently bought a DC-230 GPS BT, but I cannot use with TomTom3
I have:
ROM VER 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.14.00
Ext 1.72.104 (with some cabs added by me)
And a XDA 2 (rom is a Qtek 2020)
I've tried:
Hard reset - no BT Tools - Bond GPS - Success with GPS Viewer (that is in boundle with DC) on COM5 9600
Started tomtomGPS, no success (with or without START GPS with GPS Viewer).
I've tried
- NMEA 0183v2 9600 on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- SiRF 9600 on COM5 and on Bluetooth
- SiRF Bluetooth on COM5 and on Bluetooth
I've removed bond with GPS.
So i've installed BT Tools 1.1. Bondend and added profile on COM7
GPS View didn't see the GPS
TomTom the same (i've tried the same drivers)
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Fabio
try changing to nmea 4800 on the same port that the gps view is showing, make sure gps view is closed when starting tomtom. Alsi instead of choosing from the upper drop down box in tomtom, look in the lower drop down, you may find your gps is announced/listed there.

Is the right version of TomTom GPS? (down right i see V2.09 305/393)
In the lower drop down box I see only com/irda/bt ports...
Thanks
You should have totmtomgps V3.02. It is available on their site.
Downloaded TomTom GPS 3.02...no success
But is correct that GPS Viewer when i push on Start GPS show

With BT Tools installed i've tried GPSDash and MapSonic...
They connect to com7, but I get Satellites in use: 0 of 1 sats
Quality of Fix: no fix / n.a.
What's meaning?
Thanks again
I cannot use any sats..whats wrong ? is the gps broken ?
Aehm....uhm...
Er...is possible that it is low of battery? I put on charge and now I see 7 sats..
Bluetooth authomatic activation problem
I am sorry to jump in this discussion, but I had a BT problem, I couldn't connect to a GPS (Leadtek), and I did almost the same thing you are talking: I upgraded my QTEK2020 to 1.72.00WWE/1.14.00/1.72.602.
After the upgrade I installed the Pocket Bluetooth Tools and after some bondings/"unbonding", the COM7 profile appeared and everything worked fine from that moment on.
Now, there are 2 things I want to share:
- first, in order to have a diferent Bluetooth serial connection to the same or another port, I had to kill the the bond I created with the Leadtek GPS, then bonded again without activating the serial profile and then killed that bond again. Only after this series of actions, with a soft reset between all of them, I was able to bond with a diferent GPS bluetooth (I think it was from Globalsat), using the Com7 serial profile.
- second: my Qtek activates randomly the bluetooth by itself...
Does anyone know how to solve the authomatic random activation of the GT?
Try to activate in start/settings/system/bluetooth settings the extended port com 5. This helps with leadtek and emtac bluetooth antenna's for tomtom, and alturion.
Cheers
Why are you using Pocket Bluetools with rom 1.72??
NO NEED TO!!
Just use native MS BT Stack.
Bond the BT GPS, say yes when asked to assign COM port.
Let GPS software use COM5
Settings for TomTom3: NMEA Bluetooth GPS / COM5
Works flawlessly
Hi everyone,
I would like to kick start a thread for any application installed in the latest SE rom by mystery man. The rom seem stable nevertheless some apps seem do not really prepared for the changes. (i mean from WM2003 to WM2003SE). Let begins........
1) Battery Pack Pro v1.11-will make your today screen screwed up. How? Go Start-Settings-Today-Items-then click OK and closed it-you will get what i meant here.
Will continue to report.......
Best Rgds... :lol:
Wisbar advance freezes and requires soft reset after telephone has been used/or whilst attempting to dial.
XCPU Skalar - you have to update to version 3.85, lower version keeps system to hang
Tillanosoft Pockettweak - update to 4.2.7, lower version destroys font settings
PocketZenPhone - update to latest beta 11 version, older versions are not able to switch phone on again
Can someone tell me what is the function of "Today timeout" which constantly showed 4hrs at Start-Setings-Today?
Well why must that function included in the today settings? The problem is now and then my today screen showed nothing or clean even though i unchecked the Today timeout box to disable it.
After all i suspect something is not right wif the Today timeout option and nothing to do wif Battery Pack.
Anyone experience the above problem? :roll:
Calligrapher 7.4 (just only 7.4 ,older not has this problem)
after i install and use for 15 sec. ,then screen is locked up cannot tap anymore but Button still work.
I do soft reset and disable it then 15 sec ,screen lock again.
Only one way to solve it by using cradle sync with desktop and select remove calligrapher and then soft reset ,it will work normally again.
It may from defect in version 7.4 or conflict with XDA II.
PLease take care ,if you decide to use this version
Problems with SE (both dcs's & mysteryman)
Hey there guys!
I used this weekend (in fact starting friday evening) to upgrade my T-Mobile MDA2 from ROM 1.72 (radio 1.14) to ROM 2.xx and radio 1.18.
Although I did a lot of reflashing up to now - I want to thank you all guys for this forum, because everything I've learnt about my PPC is from here. It is shame that I cannot contribute via paypal because Bulgaria is not included in their country list.
Now.. Here is what I've experienced with my mda:
I upgraded from 1.72 T-Mobile WWE to 2.02ti... All cool - until I started to load the device with programs. I mean - it is cool and fast and nice and colorful..
A guy mentioned that SE boots faster - I can's say that - the phone would show the first boot picture, then fast will change to 2nd and then (in 2 to 5 seconds) the bluetooth led will flash (if at all) at least 5 times and then it shows the today screen or will stay there forever :-(
I understood that:
* xscallar 2.8x would not work - it freezes the system;
* sbp pocketplus 2.1 would hang the system or/and the today screen;
* sprite backup 3.0 hard-resets the system (3 in 2 times after finishing scheduled/normal backup);
* gprs monitor 2.12 would hang the today screen;
* cleartype is a way worse than in 1.60wwe
* if the system works, compared to 1.72 - it is flying! but :-(....
These problems appeared both in 2.02ti and in 2.06, no matter what extended rom I install (if I install any at all - because thru tears I tried that one too ;-) )
The (X) sign for closing programs disappears constantly and some programs could not be closed or [ok]'d :-(
Bluetooth 1.5x would either not work properly or would not work at all.
about the extended rom - i noticed this:
MMS15024_WWE_Hima_OzUp.sa.CAB, despite the lower version compared to MMS2.0.0.13 incorporates in the outlook folder and doesn't take additional space in the today screen. Also it provides sending restrictions as 100K, 200K, MAX - ;-) which is kewl 'cause I missed the ability of my SonyEricsson P900 to send unlimited in size MMS messages.
CallerIDB10, provided with 2.x SE versions cuts about 4 pixels from the bottom of the CLIP pictures and I don't like it - it has no new features or anything
For conclusion:
I liked the look of SE versions - it is really neat and fast - when it works.
But non of my really needed sofware would work as expected.
I went back to T-Mobile 1.72 (edsub's version) and I will tell you guys - there is nothing as stable and fast as it is.
This is my first post here, and I read this forum for more than 8 months. You guys rock!
Yours,
Dean

I had a big problem with 2.06-mystery man . Stuck on the every second
boot . So I had to do Hard Reset all the time.
After that I switched to 2.02 and all I can say its the most stable ROM
I know from 1.60 .
The reason I am posting here is :

I've notices that 2.06 sometimes freeses during boot when SD-card is inserted. It boots normally when SD-card is out and inserted when device finishes booting.
Cleartype in 2.06 can be tuned to look fine with cleartype tuning tool from Microsoft. I can upload it if needed.
Probably
Probably , probably , probably
Spb PocletPlus 2.1 is stable in my 2.06SE. The problem i encountered is the unstable widcomm bluetooth stack ( 1.5.0.801 ) which always "could not correctly initialized - BTTrayCE.exe) . can some one post some registry tweak for this?
@ mamaich
can you post the MS cleartype tuning tool please? thanks! :lol:
Phone Profiles is another one....
Using Phone Profiles 7.5 or 8.0, there is a dialog on reboot, 'Can't Find Window", (something like that), and it will not continue booting, only solution is a hard reset...
I can confirm the Calligrapher 7.4... will lock during boot, hard reset

Mine is working fairly well... I did notice the same problem you have, but I got around it by holding in the reset button until it reset itself (normally 5 secs or so). It resets fine every time. This is a pain compared to 1.66.00WWE. I haven't tried 1.72 yet. I would like to persist with the 2.06 version to see what bugs it has.
Recrem...
UPDATE:- Installing XCPUScalar Version 2.85 has completely cleared up the reset hang problem. I have configured it to auto start on soft reset, and minnimise on start. I have now reset well over 10 times and it resets as it should. I have XCPUScalar set to a min speed of 400MHz though...
I have only one problem with wm2003se 2.06 - at every call speaker mode turns on automaticly

3. BTtools freeze Today screen. (not needed for functional purposes, only used to turn BT off automatically)
4. Still have to use EzWAP for MMS
5. Camera switch screen back to Portrait.
Now, with the best comparisons of the 2002 and 2003 rom images, what for English devices is the most stabile.
The reason for the question is that successively after different images some with extra software themes etc, some with nothing, my ppc is now randomly soft booting when I hit the power button to lock it, or even after calls and such.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated..

The best PPC2002 image is 3.17.03 IMO. quiet stable (I've had a few instant soft resets anyway), but...it's PPC2002, no pda/phone volume, no speakerphonet etc.
For WM2003: 4.01.12 O2 if you have a PWA10A1 (I'm using this: very-very stable, fast), and 4.01.16 if you have a PWA10B1 device. NOTE: WM2003 has a bug that can wipe out your SD-card (you'll lose all your data). I'm currently using my SD card locked in my XDA...
Finally I upgraded to WM2003SE (2.06).
Direct reason was the declining performance under WM2003 (1.72). What happened was that when running TomTom 5.1 and a phone call came in (or I made one) the connection with my SD was lost. Exit TomTom, take-out & re-insert SD end eventualy restarting TomTom solved that on an incident basis.
With WM2003 SE that problem has gone. BUT I got something back: The sound in TomTom (5.1 and 5.21) is severely distorted ('clicking' like sound). The same (but not that severe) happens when I run Tomtom and I play an MP3 using WMP9.
I tried XCPUScalar, but the CPU load most of the time is around 60-70% (@400MHZ).
My Extended ROM does not have suspicious tools that run permanently in it.
Any clues?
Update: Same issue happens with ROM 2.20.07CHS (translated).
I received a clue from mamaich :
Create a "Priority256" key under HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev and set it to 128 (0x80)
First results are promising!
mmm looks like I am talking to myself in this thread.
Anyway: The registry hack worked fine for me. Even better: the GB-Tweak applet I allready have does just the same (via the Audio priority option).
I am now very happy with the 2.20 translated SE ROM for my Himalaya. I might just keep on using it until my Wizard arives in two weeks 8)
Had the same problem, tomtom stutterd, GB-Tweak did the trick.
Thanks for the help.

Hey
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me solve this problem or I may be saying goodbye to my Trion sooner than I would like.
So here's the problem:
While I am sleeping my trion keeps LockingUp!
This has happened a few times and each has been quite costly, either I oversleep and am late for important appoitments or I miss a number of very important phone calls.
I have tried using differnt ROMS but the problem persists. It happened to me a couple times while using the new I-mate rom so I switched to the new Dopod ROM and it happened again! I'm going to try the TYTN rom now... ugh!
Info Regarding my current setup:
Dopod ROM: 1.23.707.4
Programs:
MSN Messenger
MSN PPC 2003
TCPMP
Cyberon
Aidem MP3
Fit4cat Hermes v1.0
Fit4cat Settings changed from default:
Enable wireless plugin + show pluggin = ON
Remove Wireless Manager Icon = ON
Mount Ext. ROM = ON
Improve A2DP "High" = ON
- and that's all I've enabled. A weird thing I notice with the wireless pluggin is that at times on the Today screen it will just show my bluetooth status and neglect to show the WIFI status; at times the BT icon is right aligned as if the WIFI was still there but invisible and at other times the BT icon is left aligned indicating the WIFI icon is not even there.
That's about it for now. Any help resolving the main FREEZING/CRASHING issue would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You!
I have had the same problem. Hard reset and ran software freefor a few days, and same problem. Flashed to imate, and same problem. Flashed back to original HTC, and problem gone. I don't know what it was/is, but I feel your pain. We have almost no software in common, so whatever it is I think the problem is within the ROM itself or common Ext_Rom files. I never ran without Ext_ROM may start there.
this problem I had for about 3 weeks, I am currently using the new dopod rom and I have had no problems at all. It is a software problem issue and as roms develop issues will go I would flash either the new HTC rom or dopod rom as I had no problem with either of them I installed the dopod as it is quicker for me.
the same to me with imate rom, and some time when i press the center/enter button it show the sound volume panel
must go to Tytn rom tonight
