I don't want to make a prediction, but I believe we should watch the HTC Europe site from tomorrow on.
After the official release of the Dopod ROM today, I think our wait is at last over.
Obviously I am reffering to the long overdue WM5 upgrade.
If the Dopod(HTC) version is anything to go by we could have:
AKU 3.3.1
Radio 1.38.00.10
Simon 1219 has reported on the Dopod version today in a seperate thread, but it's release heralds the planned release tomorrow of the WWE version. (Keep everything crossed)
Of course this news will dissapoint the WM6 guys, as the official release for the Hermes will only be made during Q3.
So you do not want make a prediction... but are making one anyways? This sounds high speculative though.

Where did you get this information??
I don't get it,
perhaps tomorrow there will be a WM5 update but in the near future (Q3) there will a WM6 update from HTC? Is that what you are saying?
Tomorrow you say... Right on my birthday... What a nice present that would be

What I am saying is that an official WM5 must preceed an official WM6 release. What is not known at this stage is if WM6 will be a freebee. But logic tells me that it must as M$ would not be able to control its distribution - like what's happening now with the various beta WM6 ROM's
It's logical - the Dopod upgrade is released and HTC owns Dopod, so the WWE version will follow.
Let's just wait and see if my crystal ball is right or not.

hmm...I had enough of ROM flashing for this week...will wait the release and some feedback
Regards,
Primoz
happy birthday from me too. sorry to tell you your present seems to be late though ):
Many happy returns Shamanix!!
I emailed HTC a week or so ago (enquiring about SDHC cards, and also when the rom update will be released) they said NOTHING whatsoever about the rom release, which was unusual since they normally say "oh yeah should be soon, in Q1 etc..."
So it is possible, shame we dont see a full WM6 build to base our cooked roms on yet
LOL if i hadnt come to xda-devs i would still be running the ORIGINAL htc rom for the hermes, bought my TyTN the week it was released in UK!!!! :s sends shivers down the spine!
Thanks guys..hehe.. Waiter, a round on me !!

Well.. no present from HTC for me lol.. I just hope the new ROM comes till the end of the month, if not, then its Q2 of 2007 and HTC is late again..
Well it looks like HTC has missed another deadline. But here's keeping fingers crossed for early next week. - I did say in my thread to watch out for the upgrade from tomorrow(Friday) on.
Well I guess you all feel as dissapointed as I am!

They covered it under warranty?? When I sent mine in here in the US, they refused to cover it under warranty because of the "foreign" bootloader on it. They wanted $590 to replace the mobo.
To be honest, I haven't received the phone yet. I will let you know if they charge anything. My phone didn't have a foreign bootloader. The phone is an i-mate JASJAM with i-mate's original ROM. The phone got bricked when I tested SSPL with firmware loaded from microSD. (I was trying to load the Arabic ROM.)
Vodafone AKU 3.3
At CEBIT in Hannover (been there yesterday), the customer support service at the Vodafone pavilion had an official AKU 3.3. update for Hermes customers. Unfortunately, it was in German - not my favorite language.... They would send me an e-mail with a link for the English version, if available. My guess is that the official relaease is coming soon..as this German version is aparently ready for release.
Well seeing as all Voda ROMs come from Vofafome Germany and the official ROM site is hosted in Germany it's logical we'll see something soon so I can get rid of my HTC test ROM and have some stability to match the speed.
ROM from Dopod
Is the latest ROM for the Dopod only in Chinese ?

Make sure your phone cant boot then. I did in Denmark, and they fixed it without any notice... I cant remember exactly how I did it - but messing with the rom and deleting here and there finally killed it - and then I just send it back with some hardware failure issues (the Keyboard)
But. Perhaps I was just lucky...
Perhaps related, but I received an email from Vodafone IE on Friday saying they had just received a new batch of their V1605 branded Hermes with a new ROM (no idea if WM5 or WM6 as the person I was talking to didn't know)
A couple of weeks ago I had to send back my unit to them after getting terrible screen alignment issues and they said they wouldn't issue a replacement until the new batch arrived.
I believe they sent it out on Friday which means I will get it on Tuesday (Monday is a Bank Holiday in Ireland due to St Patrick's Day) so will post info of what ever ROM is on it.

Heard from Hong Kong O2 staff they will release WM6 rom in June 2007.
It's coming very soon according to this article.
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,62011618,00.htm
waaaOOOOO!! what a great NEWS. thanx buddy. my dream will cum tru soon
Sigh~
Still no news of new ROM in O2 site.
Hopefully monday will have.
I think this may be a bad news , in Hong Kong some ppl say it will delay one more week .
My friend using Eten already have WM6 on their website.
Why is O2 alway so slow??
I Hope So Monday o2 will be release

me2 , but I don't think will release @ monday , if time zone on USA it may be .
14 May 2007--As of today, the update to WM6 is still unavailable on O2's Web site or at its service centers. O2 has informed CNET Asia that this is due to a delay in the approval process with Microsoft. The company hopes to release the update before the end of the week, but was unable to be more specific about exactly which day this will occur.
refer to CNET asia website::

this was posted yesterday on the o2 website HK section :
Xda Atom Life WM6 ROM Upgrade
O2 looks forward to bringing you the benefits of Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system.
Do check back at this page over the next few days for when this exciting upgrade will be available.

Hello,
My htc tytn works very slow and with errors with the cooked versions.
I am new to wondows mobile.
How do I get the latest official windows mobile without all the cooked applications?
There is no "Official" WM6.1. Its been ported from later HTC models. HTC stopped supporting the Hermes about 6 months or more ago and only ever officially made WM06 for it.
You will need to stay with cooked roms to keep it but you should look for the "naked" roms - OS only, no 3rd party apps.
Cheers...
Popular recommends?
What are some of the more popular "naked" rom/s?
Dvha79_ddt is one of the best, fast and very stable rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412895
Stability?...
Thank you, FileFixer for link.
how "stable" is "stable"? I mean, i typically soft-reset two or three times a day with official HTC wm6 release. ROM upgrades average about the same? worse? better? Is it the same kind of stability issues i already have? freezes? screen display gets garbled?
2 or 3 times a day thats so inconsiderate of these people to make you pull the stylus out and press the reset button, or just click the screen twice lol.
Its part of life when you have a ppc, i must reset mine 6-8 times a day but its not a big problem. Install a naked rom and dont install any apps and see how it flys along
Blame the app makers not the rom cookers or htc to that mind,

Thas the HTC realise a version of wm6.1 for this device? sorry i`m not so familliar with this device cuz i have it just from almost 3days so i have a lot of things to learn
PS: I have the official wm6 for HTC Tytn is there a ROM more faster then this?(one without prb with wi-fi?)
Profy_X, refer to post #2...
I know what you mean. . .
I know what you mean about blaming the apps and htc. Certain apps would constantly make my phone crash and I've since uninstalled. One of the biggest offenders I've found was WisBar. Made my phone go crazy. Anyone else out there experience that? Or other apps that fit the description?
However, 6-8 resets is an awful lot. The only reason I want to upgrade to 6.1 is for the threaded tracking SMS. Are there any apps out there that offer that before i take the plunge and use a cooked ROM?
I also wouldn't mind getting rid of all that bloatware in at&t's ROM has that's hogging my internal memory.
I think you'll find that using a cooked rom will in fact speed up your phone as the bloatware uses a large amount of ram. I personally like the BS roms as most chefs add what is needed anyway. I like to keep some storage space on my Hermes and using the BS roms does that.
With the NBS roms I've used I can't put the core apps I like on.
However, if you want to keep the rom you've got, there isa cab file for threaded sms. Do a search and you should find it...
Cheers...
Wm 6.1 for AT&T
Have an 8525 & would like to put WM 6.1 on it. What's the best ROM for this version of the Hermes for speed & stability?
At the moment I'm liking PDACorner V27. Seems pretty stable and I've thrown a few things at it that HRed the other roms I've tried. I also like the Halloween rom V10 but I tend to find the fonts are TINY.... Even when I alter the font to the largest.
The truth is, each rom is a personal choice and what is good for me may not be for you. This is all personal preference....
Cheers...
Just guessing
Hi folks, have anybody tried to put TYTN II's WM6.1 Rom into a Hermes before?, I'm wondering if this could work but I'm afraid of fry my phone.
Thanks,
Freddy.

Wrong rom= BRICK... Kaiser rom (Tytn II) is not compatible with a Hermes UNLESS its ported... Do some research, port it yourself or maybe ask the chef if he might might port it across (don't hold your breath though)...

You can use nuefonts to easily put it back to the tahoma font. I haven't cared for any of the calibri fonts, especially if you use landscape mode very much, then it looks like crap!
Hi there
this is sort of ROM development related, just so happens that the cook is HTC!
just got off the phone with a technical support specialist at HTC and been told that an update to the phone is imminent
just thought i'd give everyone a heads up
Yes, I also recently asked HTC support about update and they said new ROM is going to be released in nearest weeks.
Good news for us, less good news for the ROM cookers.
Now I can't wait for two things, the new Elite RC3 and the new ROM by HTC .
Thanks for the update duke_stix!
yes but what updates is it going to bring maybe winmo 6.5
yeah and wich one gonna be Windows Mobile 7 ??? that also a good quastion we should ask Microsoft are't we???
Doubt that...it'll prob be something we wont even notice!
I don't know what to say.. to another user some guy from HTC costumer service said that a new ROM will be released in december. December passed and no ROM released.. So..
i guess this is some sort of strategy. htc says "we will be releasing a new rom in very short time". And everyone becomes "oh ok then i can live with my problems on my htc pro now, as there ll be a new rom soon." and customer is now happy.

today i phoned htc europe support because i have to return my phone for repairing the g-sensor; by the way i asked if there is also a solution for the gps-lag and he told me that a new rom will come out in the next weeks (there are on testing it actually) and gps will be part of it; i don´t want to comment this statement but maybe a really solution will come ? - lets keep our fingers crossed

Wait and see
By the way

Yay! Maybe finally due to a large number of customer complaints about the GPS, and the general lethargic nature of the phone (including music skipping, etc) HTC have decided to fix things. (Wouldn't hold my breath though)
I have called HTC today again to complain about the GPS and other things.
The specialist with whom i talked said to me: A new rom will be available for the EU soon. At the end of februari with fixed GPS. So let's wait ...

yea, they are going to release a new ROM with all the GPS fixes that the great chefs at XDA discovered. We know they pay attention to the forums here, why put in the RnD when all you have to do is see what we did to fix our phones, and implement it
The real reason is probably that Iphone takes too large market share,

Well we can't be surprised with lack of support from HTC; it's always been like this. They have a line-up of 25 new phones appearing in 2009. How much time can they allocate to support post-sales problems for each model? Maybe one working day for each model?
well just my 2 cents. i was at att the other day and i saw a guy there from att head quarters testing wm7 in my area. my buddy works there and said they have been testing for a while. i did see it with my own eyes. looks totally different.
wm7 or 6.5?
Looks like HTC has prepped their site with the official Fuze ROM update but showing a release date of 5-28-2009… Hmmm, their going to make us wait? To get the ROM, you will need to enter your device S/N (not accepting mine at the moment so I must also wait)
** Updated link: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=198&cat=2&dl_id=553

It is kinda funny.... This is also happening at the AT&T forums. LOL!
I would rather it be a HTC build than an AT&T. You just know that this ATT rom is gonna be like 60% ram usage, and take 5 minutes to turn on.
Cant Beat Da_G's Clean Fuze Rom: 25% memory usage, and boots in >1 minute.
Anyways, just wanted to rant a little.
True... only thing it will be good for is new driver(hopefully) and new radio..
I'll pass
I'm sure this is an update to the "leaked" 6.1 at&t rom anyway, but, I thought most of us have moved onto 6.5? I know I did & wouldn't look back.
You never know, the OEM's could be updated too
It's rather random if you get new OEM's in a ROM or not, i've seen plenty of brand new ones come with ooooold OEM's, and some older ROM's with new ones! lol
/me spins the roulette wheel
Radio Vertion seems interesting
anybody who can help to draw it
My S2 is due from Expansys next week (hopefully )
I'm using all this unwanted time to research what I'm going to do when it arrives. I see lots of posts here talking about battery issues that only seemed to surface after an upgrade to KE1 or KE2.
So, will I leave it alone and wait for KE<some number bigger than 2>? If all the reviews I've read used KE0 (is that the name of the one from the factory?), then it looks like that's the one to stick with for the moment. While I'm on the subject, I don't think I've ever witnessed such positivity for any smartphone ever; hopefully it's not all hype.
All and any advice welcome. But please be gentle - I'm coming from WM6
Return it
On topic: upgrade to KE1. it seems ke2 has been pulled.

I heard about you people but I though you were extinct years ago.
Best advice is to forget what you know about smartphones based on your experience with WM. Just explore and figure things out for yourself about the device because once you figure it out you'll never forget it. Explore the market for apps, unlike WM the app market for Android is actually functional and has a wide variety of apps and most are free.

Ok, so most people say upgrade to KE1 (KE2 pulled) when take the phone out of the box.
So it was deffo only KE2 that had problems then - KE1 won't start eating my battery?
And don't knock WM6! I'm writing this on a 4-year old TYTN II ;-)

While I'm on the subject, I don't think I've ever witnessed such positivity for any smartphone ever; hopefully it's not all hype.
All and any advice welcome. But please be gentle - I'm coming from WM6

Good question and it has been something I've been thinking about while I wait for more sim free GS2s to come back into stock. Didn't realise KE2 has been pulled - interesting.
I'll see your tytnII and raise you with my HTC Wizard with rom flashed from WM5 to WM6.5 that I still use

Me too ... my old HTC Touch HD have served me well through 4 years, good battery, accurate GPS and several drops to the floor ... haven't been able to kill it yet
But I will get my SGS2 tomorrow and know for sure that I will fall in love instantly
The plan
Thanks for all the replies - some good advice here.
I think I'll leave the phone as is for a while and familiarise myself with it and Android before I start fiddling.
In a former life a long, long time ago, I used to be able to spell "UNIX". I suppose this means I won't be able to resist messing about with rooting, new firmware, hacks, etc. Maybe I should stick to my TYTN II ?
