What stable WM6 ROM can I use to enable video calling on AT&T 8525?
Can I use the Official WM6 HTC TyTN ROM?
I already used the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock.
I am using WM6 3.62.502.3 AT&T ROM
Tnx
you dont need a whole rom, you just need a 3g dialer
that being said, at&t does not support video calling, there's this new video share thing, but i dont think its the same thing
No Video call on 8525

There are lots of roms with video calling that will run on an 8525 but there are two SMALL problems 1 AT&T doesn't support video calling and 2 (the SMALLEST problem) the 8525 doesn't have a front facing vga camera for video calling you will need in addition to a good rom a vga camera (the smaller the better) next a drill and torch cut a hole in the front of your 8525 and install the camera next solder the leads to the main board of your phone oh yea GOOD LUCK

What are the odds that when Cingular PTT is available for the 8525 it will also be available (supported or not) on the 3125?

PTT on 3125 same time as the 8525
There's a decent chance as long as they didn't use any specific UI features of the Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC ed. and they use VS 2005 to develop it for WM5. I'm going to give it a shot when it comes out. I have the 8525 and just got my wife the 3125, so I'll have both to test from. I know from reading about hacks to enable the 8525 ptt button for other things that they'll probably use the ptt.exe that that button currently calls, inserting in the new app when it becomes available. Hopefully we can copy over that exe and any referenced libraries and registry entries and be good.
Update
Any updates on this?
BUMP
NE1 heard any more about this?
I'm pretty confident that I can upgrade my tmobile vario rom following the great instructions provided by forum members! the main question I hqve is do any tmobile uk owners have any recommendations on what rom to upload to? I'm fed up with all the bugs in this handset!
For now I'm using the HTC 1.35.255.2 (AKU2.3) ROM
I tried the HTC 2.05.255.1 (AKU3.3) ROM, but there were a couple of little things that didn't work - Windows Media Player wouldn't stream anything for example.
As a T-Mobile UK user who lives and works in London, it was nice to see the little "U" at the top of the screen turn into a little "H" with the AKU3.3 Rom, but I'm waiting for a final release with the bugs ironed out before I go back to AKU3.3.
I've had some irritating issues with my T-Mobile UK Vario II as well.
After I did a hard-reset and the T-mobile crap installed intself I can't for the life of me get the internet explorer to browse over Wi-Fi (even though I can connect to the router just fine).
What is the latest (or best) official t-mobile rom and where do I get it? (the wiki directs me to a blackberry download page).
there is no t-mobile uk rom at present, i am waiting for one myself, after already sending my device back once and getting a replacement as kept dropping calls, and bluetooth is utter rubbish on this device at present. Major problems with bluetooth car kit and this device.people not hearing me speak or in spits and spurts.
I am currently runnning the test aku 3.3 2.05 rom, which is far better than any of the others that i have tried. the 1.35 is also a lot better than the standard t-mobile rom.
my advice is either go for the 1.35 or the test 2.05 rom. you will notice the differnce immediately over the normal rom.
Hopefully it wont be long now before an official rom gets released by T-Mobile. They are seriously dragging there heals on this.
T-Mobile_UK_Vario_2_ExtROM_WWE.zip
I uploaded this on to to my unlocked HTC TyTN (AKU 2.3), as I'm a T-Mobile USA subscriber & miss two of the MDA (wizard) ExtRom apps -
a. the sign in for TMobile (accesses the secure tmobile1x with a protcol that is not in 2.3 (AKU 2.3), and
b. a TMobile push for pop3 email on their My T-mobile service.
I also cannot send or receive MMS and hoped it might help with that.
It did not add either tool, nor make MMS worked and it stopped the Exchange 2003 push working. It really only adds meta icons for tools already present and a camera patch (not sure if needed).
The other Wizard apps - Instant Messaging and t-zones are available elsewhere.
I flashed it back to the HTC ExtROM & my MS Exchange push works again.
Thanks to the excellent help on this site that I could do this and go back.
Main reason for the post tho is to explain the content & post a warning about the Exchange push.
Do you guys using the original rom also have networking troubles with msn messenger?
Just sits there attempting to sign in?
I also had this on my mda pro and wondered if it was a rom problem or a t mobile specific thing
i think messenger is just slow not sure if the latest version messenger live rectifies these problems! does rom 2.5 rectify the tmobile 3g issue?
T-mobile Rom
Hi
I too am having issues with the t-mobile rom. Historically, T-mobile are always amoung the last to fix their bugs. They were very very slow on the universal.
I also really do wonder why operators see fit to include loads of operator branded [email protected] that no one wants!
I have unlocked my device using Pof's unlocker and installed radio 1.27. I mainly use my device on the train with a laptop via bluetooth. Thus far, I am finding that the 1.27 rom is worse than the 1.06 rom. Data does not keep moving as well as before, and I have more black spots on my commute.
I dont have the time, patience or nerve to chop and change roms too often, so I will wait for a AKU3.3 english official rom that has streaming etc working correctly before I upgrade.
I'd love for t-mobile to release on officially, but I doubt this will happen any time soon.
My main issues are with bluetooth and MMS. Bluetooth disconnects and disables itsself randomly (bloody anoying!). MMS does not appear to work unless you install all the t-mobile crap. I tried to install it by cherry picking from the cabs, but unless I install them all then the MMS folders in outlook dissapear on a soft reset.
The device also has a habit of deleting the t-mobile internet settings for the hell of it.
My universal was like this at first, until I shoved a Qtek rom on it instead.

Hello all,
I know there is a lot of stuff posted on this subject through many threads but I was hoping to have a veteran summarize their impression on the latest things possible (ROMS and clients).
I have a Cingular branded G4 8125 with IPL 2.25.0001 / Radio version 02.25.11. I plan on trying the shelltool to put something generic or T-Mobile branded for T-Mobile use.
I want to use VOIP via Wi-Fi How do the VOIP solutions compare? (Skype vs. some of the generic VOIP offerings cooked into the different ROMS). If a particular ROM has superior quality which one do you recommend. Is VOIP worthwhile at all with the 8125 or is it just not practical?
Thanks in advance
seacoug
i use skype.
its power hungry n slow but works on a WM5 G4 with a little extra speed boost from omap.
im not sure if this is the correct forum but hopefully someone will help me....
O.k. here i go.. i bought a AT&T 8525 off craigslist and i used pof's hermes sim and cid unlocker. after that i installed the WM6 rom i found in the WM6 forum, my phone works 100% perfectly but i was intrested in a rom speifically for my Carrier t-mobile. so i can use feature like "Fave 5" i do know t-mobile carries a phone made by HTC called the t-mobile MDA. anyway im just looking for a t-mobile rom and is it possible to do something like that to a 8525? thanks to anyone with input or advice

Go to the wiki.
On it you will find 'Available cooked wm6 roms'. Look for your carrier!
I have a T-Mobile Vario II, I have unlocked it, installed HARDSPL v7, installed radio 1.50.00 and it works fine with WM5.
However ANY version of 6.1 installed and the phone function goes to pot. To get a service network I have to manually configure it and then it shows a good signal.
Now if I try to dial a number it just says "dialling" but doesn't actually do anything until it times out.
It also doesn't accept incoming calls, it goes straight to answer phone.
Everything thing except SMS works fine.
I downloaded the official T-Mobile WM6 and this also works fine now, I can make and receive calls, the service network was picked up automatically.
I would like to upgrade to WM6.1 with a cooked ROM but don't know how to fix the above problems? Thanks for any suggestions......
Well, try changing your radio rom, reading around it seems that different ones have problems with different roms ect.
Im running 1.46.30.10 on T mobile UK 3G (I have the same Verio II as you)
(radio rom list: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms )
Plus this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364216
Fastest rom around imo, and I have tried almost all of the WM6.1 ones.
New radio
Thanks I will try that radio and then do another WM6.1 upgrade
Hmm
I would upgrade with the latest shipped WM 6.0 first, which comes with radio anyway.
The Verio should work with DOPOD ROM from here, looks like .00 is made for US and UK, 30.10 is made for down under, and 00.10 is made for general use, at least that's where I read somewhere.
Solved
I have solved this buy going to phone/settings/band and changing the network type to GSM instead of auto.
I have also changed my phone to a Vario 3 and the problem was exactly the same.
