Advice on the best rom - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Ok I'm new here, just switched from my old (now dead) Charmer to a Prophet and came here looking for a WM6 rom.
So far, I have tried the following and wanted to weigh up the pros and cons of each:
1. gullum's Touch IX
Fast, lots of memory but a bit overloaded, album didn't work and BT activesync didn't work as normal
2. TNT
This was okay but seemed to "stutter" a bit so performance not so good.
3. Crystal 4
This is fast, looks nice but misses some of the things I'm used to (so I have to go looking for cabs). It also doesn't lock the buttons even when you set it to - so if I use it as a music player any of the buttons can get pressed when the screen is off. I wish I could find a workaround for that one.
4. About to try gullm's Touch VIII
I guess I am looking for a fairly light WM6 which is fast. I don't like the new HTC keyboard at all but the phonepad was good. I like the cube but its not important. It is important that everything works as it should - e.g. bluetooth.
Any advice based on experience?

you forgot to try Cloudyfa's ROMs. mysterious and transformer.
After you've tried those, you can make your decision cause there's nothing else except cooking your own rom! =)

i would try the Transformer or Crystal roms as mr_yellow states.. They are pretty stable and phonepad with many langauges.. And they have network wizard so you don't need to remember your GPRS and MMS settings if you have to hard reset on your way
And with transformer, you can choose the look you want

if you want cube, touch, speed,camera album go for gullum IX(his X would be too good),infact go for it if you want everything install after you flash it ,else go for others and then find the cabs to install later.

I did try that one. The album didn't work properly (didn't recognize gestures) and bluetooth activesync doesn't work. Hopefully the bugs will be ironed out with a X release. In the meantime, I'm testing Touch VIII to see how it compares.
Thanks for your advice, it's difficult to choose when there are so many pros and cons with each rom!

Have you tried Claudyfa Rom's?
I am runing mysterious 1.0 with touch cube cab, and it's simply great. Never had one ROM with so low battery consuption. I like the design too, but that can be changed.
give it a try!

RP

what the best rom for my wizard wiza200 t-mobile mda vario igot wizard love rom on the moment would like to try wm6 see what all the fuss is about

Hello,
On each prophet's Roms I've tested, Bluetooth's parameters are loosed after soft reset (headset must be paired again and again ...).
Is it a WM6's problem or only with these roms ?

Yes, I see that. I think the bluetooth cab then stops usb working or something. Sounds a bit flaky. I've had a go with Touch VIII and it is suiting me pretty well so far.
Not tried the Mysterious one yet, tropheuz, but I'm sure I will.
What I have found so far from the roms I have used is they all have pros and cons - I don't mean different cabs installed but some just have BT working well, or everything's fine except wifi, or whatever. It would be good if the people cooking roms could come up with a standard agreed base where everything works and then add their favourite apps and themes on top of it. Just an idea.
Thanks again.

I suggest you clearly Cloudyfa's Misterious rom.

The best one i've tried Transformer 1.1 , still using it and clear of bugs...

the new contact manager from tena "Babel" Link to babel now with posabilety to use themes and slide2unlock are located in the extrom
Using the old camera because it uses less battery... there is a cab for the new camera on http://gullum.4shared.com/ with one small bug the panorama does not work it givs an error about not enough memory I'll try to fix that
I have removed VOIP for this version will be included in next version when I've figured out a way to use the extrom more whichly.
I moved back to the battery status from V3 because it also shows cup.

The cab installs all, but zip can be unziped and then just move the one you want into the windows folder of Prophet
A2DP
A2DP is working but needs some steps to work.
Step1. first Pair headset with phone then turn of bt headset and bt on phone.
Step2. turn on BT on phone then turn on BT headset and it shout pop up the BT Sterio icon on topbar.
For thoses that want powertray and WIFItray here is a addon View attachment Tray_fixes.CAB
Tips
Battery status has an option called CpuScaler it's nice when you use the phone alot.. but it uses battery when the phone is in standby because it will acualy keep the cpu buissie trying to keep it at the lower setting.
What I do is I overclock to 260 and let Battery status show cpu then I can just tap the 195 or 260 to get the speed I wan't and when going to bed just set it to 195Mhz and the battery usage is almost nothing

8MB is a bit faster and 4MB has more ram
downloading.....Thank you very very much, Gullem! It's a little bit disappointing that the new camera more or less tarnishes all rom masters' talent though.....^^
Note 1:
V5 final is as fast as your series before (to be honest, much more faster than the well-known version especially surfing the internet), but Voice Speed Dial can't be initiated by handsfree, same as V4....(this issue has been solved by V5bera...) Could it be possible for you to release a patch for that? Thank you very very much!
Note 2:
As same recharge problem as before (it happened sometimes when I using G4 and G5beta), nothing changes when the device is linked to USB...don't know why. (It's hard-resetted after flashing). The only solution is to soft-reset the device to get it around...
Note 3:
X button on the upper-right corner works like a charm (sorry to borrow your own words), though the x problem never occured to me with V4 and V5beta.
Hellooo Gullum,
What is the difference between this rom and PDAVIEt 4.0.0.0.6 ?
except Transcriper and working BT A2DP ?! and i don't know if you like the transparent Home plug in Icons, but i will upload them anyway, so if you like it you can use them in your roms
By the way, I admire your enthusiasm...

Great! I have waited for long time. I am going to download it and flash it. I will give you a report later today.
Hi
You said the a2dp is working, does that mean the sound quality is like Fantastic rom with the new MS bluetooth stack? if so I will give it a go.
Thanks
sigh....the response i posted above remains no-reply for the fourth times. Guess that Mr. Gullum seems not very happy with responses from orientals (a similar message posted by another oriental, a Chinese in that case, implied the same suspicion . Anyway, time to flash again....

How, not replying to couple of posts has anything to do with race ?!! he has been working on these ROMs for days and nights!! the man has a family, he also has to sleep!! Give him a break!! the least you can do is try the ROM yourself, and respect who made it.
PS: how would he know you are oriental ?!!

Gullum said that he was going to include the A2DP driver from Fantastic rom into the V5. I am downloading now and will check it out. Will let you know later. The sound quality of the BT stereo is also my main concern for choosing the rom to use. That is why I am using Fantastic B4 despite the bugs there.

Thanks for the reasoning. I do understand the way to respect others. Mr, Gullum is the one I respect most in this forum. I mean it! I posted the previous message because I do have that kind of feeling. I still respect Mr, Gullum for his contribution and talent. But please, please try to think of it that if you were the one who got nothing after posting many times with solid suggestion? It doesn't mean anything right or wrong if I have some kind of feeling, and it goes without saying that my feeling doesn't prove anything wrong or right. Thanks for your reasoning again, anyway. You are the one who want deadly to make this forum better, SO DO I^^.
Hopefully the topic stops here. All I wanted to say was merely MY VERY PERSONAL FEELING. If it hurts, I apologize^^.
Mr. Gullum,
From my 1st glance, the rom is fast. No battery drain and memory drain (I've flashed the 8M version) problems are found. As for BT, I don't know why. After I paired the BT with my iTech S38 up, there is not a stereo headset sign / logo on the top bar of the screen. And all the sounds are still coming out from the speaker of the phone itself. This is why I cannot test the sound quality of the BT Stereo yet. As you said, you have included the A2DP driver of Fantastic B4. That is why I am so excited to see your V5 rom and flashed it immediately.
Could you tell me how to activate the BT Stereo headset so that I could check and report the sound quality to you?
Thanks and regards,
HTC PhonePad
I am having problems configuringt the Phone Pad. It worked perfectly in the V5 beta with the cab-file installed, but with this ROM the Option button does not work. Gullum, do you have any idea how to solve this?
perfect rom
-no battery drain issue
-I am not taking a lot of photos with my prophet, so I am happy with the old camera driver
-4MB page pool version is fast enough for me, I prefer ram rather than several seconds of speed
-single instance of windows live messenger (in contrary to pdaviet 4.0.0.6, which runs another messenger instance even if you are already signed in. I had to write a simple program and pointed wlmmessenger.lnk to my wlmloader.exe to have only one instance)
-I liked the keyboard in this rom more because the keys are bigger. however, I don't know if it was also available in pdaviet)
-I have reset the device several times and no losing of anything for now
-the device doesn't lock up during boot while it is connected via usb cable.
I installed wm6 because I needed more program memory and .net cf v2.0 is already installed, not taking any more space in program memory. I read a lot of threads and disappointed with wm6 issues. But it seems that this version has no problems for now. I have overclocked the device to 247MHz (I had problems with higher clocks before)
really good work gullum. thank you very much.
Streaming media app
Another question. How do I get the Streaming media app to play .3gp streams. When I click a link it just opens WMP and I get an error message. I have gotten this to work earlier, but I just can´t remember what I did then.
Any help is apriciated.

If you are talking about T9 landgauges then it's because I removed all but English. And streaming 3g I have never tried myself so maybe someone that has tryed it.

AP 5.0 Beta

READ everything before downloading please!
This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom
its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:
most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.
new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.
pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.
album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*
no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.
other things i dont remember
THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA
please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.
one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.
now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY
*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
Pawel
Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.
Thanks!

dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that
p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.

Woot, trying now.
nice job.. ill stay posted
ssd upgrade?
will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?
EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh
Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?
Flashing With Microsd.....
hey all,
just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...
Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know)
hi
no comments, no screenshot from the 1st users ?
is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!
Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!
I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...
Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...
Will report more later...
Cheers

Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.
-------
In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras.
seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..
Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.
new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.
Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.
new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.
Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.
Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.
Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!
Overall vast improvement.
FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.
update, as typing had problem #1.
screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.
Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.
Testing AP5 BETA
I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.
Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.
Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.
Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working
I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.
Other softwares I tried and are working fine are
SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks again for the ROM.
Thanks once again for your work.
New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.
New icon of 3g and bar of signal
It does not turn the single screen?
Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)
New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….
Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????
Bye!!!!

Ultra Lite ROM

http://rapidshare.de/files/39476074/ATHE_WWE_4.AL.TX_WM6.1_b19209.1.0.2.rar.html
For SPL 3.5 only.
Thanks for Olipro
Information:
bla-bla-bla.
How about some descriptions and screens for this ROM?
Does it have HTC touchflo? How does its contact application look like? etc.
SPL 3.5 means... WHAT base ROM? AP4, AP3, AP5, IRUS?
WM6 or WM6.1?
Other info?
EDITED
The ROM's name explain something: IRUS rom (settings, about)claims to be the WM6.1 19521.1.1.0 build; from the file name this ROM seems to be the WM6.1 19209.1.0.2 (older build ...). Otherwise sometime rom cookers edit the build numbers ....
Base: wwe ROM from HTC X7510
NK.exe : from ap4
wm6.1 19209 b19209.1.0.2
19521 - fake ROM
I'm going to try this out today, thanks .
Hmm, there is some customization that's missing here, maybe to make it "Ultra Lite". Gotta tweak it to see if I like it or not.
*Update*
Ok, a LOT of this ROM is in Russian, I really don't like the included apps, there are some pirated application on there, HTC X-Button doesn't work at all, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5, you can't customize the menu AT ALL, the scroll bars are thin making it VERY hard to use your finger, it starts using OzVGA, not even RealVGA, HSDPA is disabled by default...The only thing I like about this ROM so far, is that my MobileTalk application actually works, and that I can run Garmin again due to the larger RAM size. I will wait for AP5 vanilla before I flash again, or I'll try AP4, as at least that works with my MobileTalk program.
*Update 2*
Wow, here's a MAJOR problem with this ROM, apparently he didn't add the ability to uninstall programs. Sorry buddy, but because of this, this ROM is gone.
darkjedi,
Sorry, however not all your conclusions about this ROM are correct.
1. There are NO programs in Russian. All are in English.
2. Yes, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5. But nobody said that it must be here
3. The menu used is QuickMenu. It is fully customizable and it has HTC X-Button functionality inside. You even do not need HTC X-Button installed. To customize menu just click Start->QuickMenu->Options
4. It is easy to make the scroll bars as thick as you like - just run
OzVGA and customize
5. Yes it has SOME problems with uninstall, but it is not so critical
And what about speed of this ROM? It is very, very quick and responsive.
Actually it is Ultra Lite, but high-speed system.

Sorry but no, I do not want some "QuickMenu" program that looks ugly and is obtrusive. HTC X-Button is small and does it's job, and allows me to just hit the X and the program closes. And btw, the OS STARTS in Russian btw, and CorePlayer is all in Russian. So I have to go into ANOTHER program just to edit the menu? Ugh. That's incredibly stupid. OzVGA is annoying and very buggy. And WHERE is the add/remove programs? Let me guess, ANOTHER program? Nice attempt, but with all this crap? Sorry but AP4.0, bugs and all, is much better.
Does not sound like an ultra lite to me if it contains so many unwanted third party bloatware.
I'm still waiting for a true vanilla, not pseudo vanilla. On Spl 1.2 please. There's no need to lose any memory to useless programs.

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.
3) Quick Menu is really not that bad. It is installed in many of the roms in other forums - Kasier especially.
4) Haven't used OzVga since my universal - It have some issues awhile back, but it was basically like realvga used in other AP rom..Not sure if it works well, but hey why not try it while I wait for another AP rom
5) This seems like a real issue, that would suck, but again I just feel like flashing something, while I wait for another rom to try....

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.

The MAIN issue here is, there isn't any Add/Remove Programs anywhere, you can't uninstall ANYTHING! Unless of course that's hidden in another program -_-

Another small issue is that the storage card has been renamed SDMMC so all my shortcut to apps on the sdcard had to be renamed...

Best ROM
This ROM works practically without problems. And very fast.
On speed and reliability it the best of all for Athena.
And Russian? It I would learn only that it talked Lenin. (V.V.Mayakovsky)

Does it have HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications ? Is the speed as fast as the WM6.0 stock ROM?
Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?

Which is best ROM upgrade for Dopod 818 Pro?

Hi Everyone,
I am seeing lot of updates including iPhone version. I am wondering which one is the best compatible for my Dopod 818 pro.
I am looking to the lot of experts on this wonderful forum to provide me some expert opinion. I just don't want launch some ROM and have the dopod become a brick.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Brenda
All the ROM here have been tested, at least by his cooker.
So, just pick the ROM that suitable for your need, try to read the guidelines and start flashing.
I've been flashing my dopod 818pro almost 20 times, and still OK until now.
How is the iPhone 1.1 or 1.2 upgrades or which one did you like the most?
Hi Legedug,
Thanks for the fast response. Did you try the iPhone ROMs? Did it work? I ran in to some problem when I tried it (went to three color screen and stayed there). Of all the 20 odd upgrades which did you like the most for performance as well as functionalities? Please share info and thanks.
Brenda
go for dioxda 1d rom speedy king version its speed is awsome
and if you wanna feel that your running a 400mhz pocket pc overclock
and it never hangs and running smooth
i tried like a million times flashig my jamin lool and still works fine

Yup, I tried both, it used old method for flashing, it worked (means I can see and running the program/not stuck in boot looder), but for some reason I did not use for long time.
In my opinion the first stable ROM is Varanusvincent ROM (Black edition 2), I use this ROM for several weeks.
The next is dioxda 1d, and then I tried to cooked my self, and now I use my ROM base on Glass Prophet ROM CE OS 5.2.20270( Build 20270.1.3.2 NAM).
The third one is Varanusvincent ROM (Bubble 2), I catagorized this ROM as clean (without HTC Home).
So if you want to add some feture later, try clean one, but if you interested in ready to use, pick some ROM that the features included within.
But if you want to add some feature for your need, the best is trying to cook your self (Inteks has made the best cooking software that I used it a lot, called it, Neokit)
I've tried about 10 roms. The best for me is Dioxda2's 1d. It's the fastest, stable, and low batt consuming. Combine it with 2.19.21 radio rom. It'll be great
Perfect ...
you'll find it hard to believe but in my opinion,... the best ROM so far is,... Crystal V4 from hma4. It is rather "old" brew but no WM6.1 ROM has been better in my opinion.
Jarel
Is there one file that I can download that as opposed to many links???
Hi Legedug / drTaruna:
I am trying to install the Dioxda2's 1d for the dopod 818 pro. I am looking to download the ROM and associated apps... I am seeeing so many links... is there one nicely packaged big file that I can download that has all the utilities and the ROM. Please advice. Thanks in advance....
Brenda
A quick question:
What apps do you need?
Because there are lots apps on here such as icontact, s2u2, s2V, s2P, HTC home, mortscript, throttle, quickMenu.
Or if you like (prefer) complete ROm, use full ROM such as Cloudyfa or Varanusvincent ROM.
I think Dioxda's 1d is a full rom. Many useful programs included. I only have to add some readers for my eBooks collection.
Here are some. ...
... some more cabs.
There are some useful application. Ready to use, in Maxniper's thread. Just download and copy to storage card.
Have a nice hunt
Enjoy ... .
Options I like and want.....
Hi Legedug,
I am looking for nice Dial Keypad like in the Glass or IPhone and ability to change theme, Low battery Consumption, good signal reception, voice dial, ability to close programs from Home page, good Blue Tooth connection, Good key board for Instant messaging and finally easy navigation.
Not really interested in Radio or PDF reader or etc stuff that I would use a laptop for.
Are there separate cab files that I can load in to my SD Card and execute for each function? Thanks for all your help.
Have a great weekend.
Brenda
Thanks drTaruna....
Hi drTaruna,
Thanks for all the cab files. I have downloaded them and going to use some of them definitley. Really appreciate your help.
Have a great weekend.
Brenda

Sorry, I am out of my office now
I only could point out the soft for what you need.
1. Dialpad; use dfx dialpad or iphone dialpad but for changing the theme you should manually create and replace it the file from /windows folder
2. Battery consumption; use batfix.cab
3. Signal reception; use networkwizard
4. Voice dial use cyberion or microsoft voice dial
5. Bluetooth connection depend on ROM but also there are some BT connection in cab file
6. Keyboard; PocketCM keyboard, also some cooker made his color keyboard.
7. Close program from homepage; use QuickMenu plus WKtask
8. For easy navigation; it depends on taste.
Hope this help you little
lite.cab is sktools, loaded from varanusvincent's threads. Useful to clean up ram and optimized reg beside for benchmarking.
Enjoy ...

BETA: Michy's R6.5 - Windows Mobile 6.5 B 21176

Windows mobile 6.5 build 21176
WARNING: THIS ROM IS BETA AND SOMETHING CAN BE PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY NOT WORKING! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Download (SPL 3.5 ONLY): http://rapidshare.com/files/208071403/Athena_SPL3.5_WM6.5_WWE_R6.5-Michy.rar
Yeah!! This a fanstastic news!!
I'll flash my Athena asap.
excellent ROM
This is amazing for a beta. Email works. texts work. Its all in english and looks really nice. Love the new icons. And unlike the previous taxist ROMs I can access phone settings and set the bands correctly. all around loving it so far.
Its a perfect beginnig. I'm flashing tonight and hope for more news and releases soon.
10x mate :>
Nice
Michy,
Just flashed up from the TX 59 build, Very Nice work, One observation so far (has anyone else had a probelm with apps failing to install?) Resco Exp, Google Maps so far..
Cheers
BR
bluetooth
Michyprima
thanks a lot sharing your work with us.
Just a question, are you using same bluetooth as your previous roms?
Taxist rom for 6.5 is efficient in my case due I have BT8010 headset and watch mbw150 in terms of quality sound and battery life.
amazing stuff michy, thanks alot
My 2 cents
My observations so far, everything looks great, about 80% on my commonly used apps get the "application install unsucessful" error, I have been having alot of system hangs (could be something I did install) I am on a x7500 (tried an extra HR just to be sure it was not a remnant from the flash) also updated radio from 1.57 to 1.58. Well that is the joy of beta testing I have always liked the Michy roms, This is only a 1st release and a very good one considering the work involved. (been running various wm6.5 builds on my Raph so I expect some bumps)
Cheers
BR

BEST REGARDS
SHANKZ
hey michy, thanks for coming through for us. i've been away from my computer for a couple days and was relieved tosee that you posted a beta.
a few things because i xan't type fast on the phone.
**out of all the apps i tried to install, only abiut 16% was successful. even my beloved touchpal didn't install, i got no other keyboard to install, mot even shape writer. the PHM keyboard included doesn't work (when enabled i had to change keyboard in settings then softreset). Um, anyone got a good skin for VGAKEY?
**the menu system is much slower now...
**I love that the honeycomb is much faster scrolling!
**IEmobile is much more stable, i actually haven't tried to install opera yet. the only thing it is missing right now is tabs and a larger buffer.
**titanium is more beautiful but seems a bit slower than the 59.
**the camera seems a little slower than 59 too, but somehow it is showing me that i have space for about 2000 more pictures (at 1m) than it did on 59. so its either this build handles images much better than previous or it's lying to me.
**on the today screen please change the left softkey to phone (minor issue)
*when i put the visor on time, only the hour is shown, the minutes shows like "...". eg. for 12:30am it shows like this "12:..."
**the dialer is much slower than 59.
*the call status screen is beautiful. (i wish the dialer looked like it)
**why does it always go back to the home screen after i select an app? can this be changed by reg?
Again, thank you mike for coming on board. if you need a tester, send me a PM
hey Michy how you been?
any words or thoughts on why most cabs are uninstallable?
the problem with the time on today screen ks resolved: i fiddled with the time in region settings and it somehow made it work like it should.
Strange encounters from my device.
After flashed, couldn't get it to sync with pc.
even after untick advance in usb to pc.
Noted it never auto reset immediately at end of flashing,
others do.
After a few soft resets, device couldn't start up again.
Not possible from soft or hard reset. Only way is
to remove battery for several minutes, put it back and
then it will start up from power on.
Aware it is beta, just love to try it out.
Great rom and beautiful too, thanks Michy!
13/3 update
After re-flashed by using SD card, device power up normally again.
The strange encounter I had was probably due to bad flashing.
Only thing now is unable to install program using cab or from pc.
well, now I can say only about 3% (I think its less) of all the apps I've tried so far to install actually installed....I've tried damn near a hundred app so far......
i tried 6.5 before...the test version...its VERY slow..i dont know about you version though, i will flash it soon to find out...i've been using ur 6.1 version and its THE MOST STABLE OS EVER!!! only one snag in that is that when u place the keyboard on the athena it doesnt show the small menu like the AP roms do...could u perhaps blend that in this rom?

There is a Sub menu app in michys roms that turns that on on 6.1 roms, I ont know about this one though.
