I am happy user of AP3.0. The only element of my Advantage that could do with improvement is the Bluetooth - which I think Pawel addressed in AP4.0. However, that particular route to upgrade is awaiting Pawel's release by the fiends in the Polaris forum that have been holding him hostage for such a long time.
Search as I have, I cannot find any other ROM that has tried to port the Widcomm stack into the Advantage. Can anyone let me know if they are looking in to this?
Thanks

I was tired of the bluetooth in HTC stock WM6 rom. I didn't work with my LG HBM-700 at all because bluetooth on my X7500 turned itself off every now and then. I also had lot of problems with a Jabra handsfree.
On Michy 1.88 it is a lot better, but I have experienced a few problems there too. Bluetooth turned itself off a few times the first day after I installed this rom, but that could be me. But one night after a weeks usage bluetooth turned itself off.
I wonder how irus 0mb rom works. I noticed it is using another bluetooth stack and seems to be more battery friendly for bluetooth devices. Any experience on this?

I'm in the same boat. I'm using a Sony HBH-DS220 Headset and the only ROMs that use to work well with it are AP4.0 and AP5 Beta. In the last months alone I've gone through no less than 6 - 7 different ROMS from IRUS Vanilla to Michy 5.1 with the same or similar results. I'm hoping that Michy will have a look at this change the stack in his next ROM.

What are the problems you are having? I am using a Sony DRC-BT15 - similar to your DS220s as well as a HBM-700 Styli with no trouble on Michy 4.1 (and 4.0).
Mrsums,
are you absolutely SURE that PK4 have Widcomm stack?
If i remember correctly, it also have the usual MS stack. Too lazy to reflash though to confirm.

Title says it all. I had tried the HTC South African ROM, and liked it, but I couldnt get the keyboard to correspond with the 8525 symbols. Searched all day and decided that it wasn't worth the minimal speed increase. Instead of going back to the ROM I had, the 1.34...ROM, I decided to go with this one since it has AKU 2.6. I am so glad I did!
I live in Queens, and 3G has NEVER worked in my house. Only certain times throughout my day I would see the U symbol on my phone. And it was in south Middle Village, not near my house. Since I upgraded/downgraded the ROM, not only do I have U in my house, but after 8 dslreports.com tests, I averaged over 800 kbps and peaked at 972Kbps! Perhaps its a coincidence that U is up and running here today, but I seriously doubt it! I also upgraded the radio to 1.20 and noticed a slightly less wait time for 'locating" in PIE. The OS seems faster as well, but not much faster, than the newer Cingular ROM. To any Cingular 8525 owners out there this ROM is definitely worth a look!
There must be a reason that they decided 3 WEEKS LATER to go back to AKU 2.3. Is there a bug in this ROM that I haven't discovered yet?
The radio upgrade is what made UMTS more accessible. The OS portion of the ROM didn't have any effect on your wireless. AKU 2.6 is reported to have problems, but I never personally tried it or tried to track them after I read MS Voice Command wouldn't work with it. There was a lot of discussion about AKU 2.6 in the Wizard forum, you might find some info there.
Did you install the newer radio code independently, or did it come with the South Africa ROM?
I noticed the increase in UMTS accessibility after upgrading the ROM. I upgraded the radio only to minimize the "locating" delay in PIE, activesync, etc. It mihgt be a coincidence, who knows.
Cyberon works fine w/this ROM. I never really cared fpr VC, it uses too much RAM and is a lot slower than cyberon IMO
The reason for the thread was to hopefully find out what the problems are that have been reported. Seemse strange that Cingular made a new ROM a few weeks after and went back to 2.3
I don't know why they went back to aku 2.3, but for the problem you where having with the keyboard, you could have solved it by installing a cab in the cingular's extrom (don't remember now exactly wich one).

Yeah, I had searched, and searched, and found one of your posts that spoke about a cab with "keypad.." in the name, but I downloaded TWO Cingular ExtROMS and that file was not in either of them. When I first installed the 1.35 ROM, I replaced its extrom with the newest Cingular extROM, to no avail. I don't mind though, I like this ROM so far and it hasn't caused any issues for me. And its Cingular-issued, so all of the settings were there for me.
transformer1 or touch V7 which one you have now(be true)
i myself have touch V7
my guess is alot because transformer1 has had 27,319 views by the time i am writing this post where as touch V7 has had 44,751 where as if you consider simple difference of a few hours of rom's release views should not vary at this scale although this has nothing to do with number of people upgrading .
hi...
i'm running TNT5 Official...
touch V7 however Im going to try Transformer 1.1 since I keep getting Blank screen bugs and OS screen freezes, what a hoot.
Happily using Transformer 1.0 since the day it was released, but will upgrade to 1.1 tonight. I have not tried touch V7 at all.

Hi...
T1.1 is not "still" with build 17944 it's again with this build as descripted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1527184&postcount=2
Useless topic.
I used both of them but best one I think TNT 5 series
I use Touch V7, but still, kinda useless topic.
I'm using the new build beta test from Cloudyfa PDAVIET.
Oh! By the way, this new build doesn't have a name yet. As far as I know, it will be not touch nor cross... stay tuned
used both, too
since yesterday fully successed with tnt5 official
its the most slim, fast and stable rom and running fine. 29mb of free ram with 6mb pp rules =)
-- wrong post
I am using TRANC1 from the day it was launched.....
but I am fan of gullum rom too ..... right now I am going 2 try the 1.1 ver........
New build beta test PDAVIET.
I'm using the new build beta test from Cloudyfa PDAVIET.
The best so far ??? i try all of them and in my opinion transport 1.1
is by far the best and the most stable.
Since sincerely of the above mentioned roms they all are enough good, but they they all fail in the same:
- connection bluetooth-free hands - gps
When the bluetooth is connected to the free hands and to the gps, it fails enough, but happens to all roms: tnt v5, gollum V7, transformer 1.1, crystal, etc..
Greetings
Hello,
This is y first post, but I watch this forum for longer time.
I use TNT5 Pro. Its working great, very fast and much RAM.
thanx for gr8 replies
well I'm on transformer 1.1 right now but just charging up for a reflash to TNT. I really like cloudyfa's roms but the speed of TNT was so nice, also TNT was about the only rom that actually kept my gprs working after hard reset
*(in the others I would have to go into "edit connection" (without actually changing anything) , every time.
In fact I'm scared of using windows live with "as items arrive" now, with more than one rom it would get stuck on the password screen after reboot and wouldn't even let me get to the "edit connection" screen.
TNT (pro) is about the only one I have found where the gprs settings persist nicely (at least after turning off with the button on the side). I can't say I've tried all roms though, and i used to often use the stylus or psshutxp to reboot; maybe that's not good? I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences regarding gprs settings persisting after reboot
Moving a bit beyond my level of comprehension, I remember something about the way wm6 handles reg. settings, and moves settings from RAM to ROM. Can anyone elaborate? Is this also the cause of the infamous "bluetooth forced repairing after reboot" bug in so many of the WM6 ROMs?
*the gprs settings would look as if they were still there as normal, but would not work until after tapping "edit connection"
Transformer 1.1 is the best rom so far. No issues, grt sped, overall an extremely stable rom..
Havent really seen this talked about lately... is anyone still getting it where the internet drops connection on the hour every hour with 3.16? Is there a work around for this yet, or is this as I suspect a "bug" with the test rom and is possibly meant for this to do it until an official release?
i have the 3.16 rom but *knock on wood* havent had any problems with it yet....been using it for 2 weeks so im not too sure.
I've had the same problem and apparently a fews others too. But I don't think enough people are having issues to warrant a "fix". Sucks to be us...
I've seen similar behavior (although with not such regularity that you're reporting.) From what I've read here and at ppcgeeks.com it sounds like an issue with the radio rom and not with any of the builds. I'm hoping that a new radio rom is released soon that will eliminate this behavior.
Of course I'm tethered right now posting this so it's not behaving too badly for me.
I have also found that some websites (when tethered) will not open at all for me. Yahoo mail and hotmail are the two the immediately come to mind. They resolve in DNS, I can ping them but they won't open in my browser when I'm tethered.
Yeah, when I use the 3.27 radio I have internet problem. It cannot keep connection so I will have to restart connection often. This cause me trouble with corporate VPN so it cannot use WinMo 6.1 + 3.27 radio. I wish I can use WinMo 6.1 with 1.40 radio, but I think it isn't possible, maybe. WinMo 6.1 is no crash at all in one week... so stable, but WinMo 6.0 crash five time a day. Still, can't use 6.1 cause I can't use my VPN.
We need a better radio, I think radio is trouble with internet. Maybe use 6.0 WinMo and 1.40 radio instead. Until work around anyway.

WM6.1 runs fine with 1.40 radio if you use the 2.17 ROM as base

I wish I know how to cook a ROM so I can do that lol
I know this might be a long shot but do you think the radio version and the earlier models of the Mogul could have the effect... I ordered and got mine the first day it came out.... maybe the newer ones are coopertaing better with the new radio? This is a far shot as I would think all the parts/chipsets are the same...
Got mine in late summer. With the "stock" 3.16 beta streaming audio is almost impossible. In both Resco and Mundu radio I can't stream for longer than a couple minutes before that wicked "buffering" message appears.
Before I was using my Mogul with few interruptions for 8 hours a day since we're not supposed to stream on the office network. I'm hoping for a fix soon since the stock 2.17 doesn't seem to want to flash over 3.16.
PRL 60711 seems to have helped the streaming problem. Funny I've been running it on my air card for weeks now.
Yes prl 60711 fixed my 6800 too.
Fix streaming issue or losing internet connection on the hour?
I noticed that Bluetooth was listed as a fix in the new rom. That's actually a problem I've been having. I have a Garmin GPS with Bluetooth that I use when I'm driving (speakerphone). I loved it with my old 8125, but I just got the mogul and speaker volume has been so low with it. Has anybody else experience this problem? What are the thoughts on bluetooth with the new rom for users who have tried it?
I had the same Bluetooth problems on older ROMs, but it works great on the unofficial 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs. I expect it to work as well, if not better on the official version.
Well, I tried it out on my way to work today. It was only my voicemail, but it sounded much better. Hopefully that will be the case when I get a phone call.
Well, when I just got Mogul and bought BT prepped car (never used BT before), I thought BT sucked reaaaly bad, since EVERYONE complained if I called from my car. Now, since unofficial ROMs, I get occasional complain here and there, but it is obvously tolearble to most of people I call. I also reduced volume on BT in my car after upgrade, so I think it should solve the problem.
I think part of it was that I was upgrading from 2.17 (not sure what has come since). But, it does seem pretty good now.
Now i'm what you techy lot on here would call a noob when it comes down to a wm5 phone, Namely the hp ipaq rw6815 don't get me wrong it's quite a good phone but, I like to try and improve things and was looking at the 6.xx cooked roms for this hand set and found a problem which one to have????
Now this is where you good folk come into this little dilema, I tried ariey's 6.5 rom, and I have to admit it was pretty good but I had the usual problems with the camera and bluetooth and every other bloody problem you could have so, I decided to do away with the rom and went back to hp's original this has happened with several of the roms posted on this site now my question is this which of the cooked roms out there is the most stable without the pains of the camera, bluetooth, handset slow down etc etc etc ???
If you believe you can help forget the a team drop me msg or reply and hopefuly my litte ipaq won't need to be retired to the great phone dump many thanks mike
after all these views no one has an answer for me hmmmm
Actually I'm searching a WM6.1 perfectly working and stable rom. I came from Arhon (Pda-hack) WM6.0 and it was perfect very stable with no problems (only thing was to patch camera). I tried many WM6.5 roms but all have the bluetooth problem you cannot add more than 2 devices (but the best was AndyAinda version 2 or 3).
Tryout the RW6828 ROM's by Helloworld1. These are very stable.
Camera does not work out of the box (for the RW6815) but there is an .cab file around here that solves the problem. Search for "pda-hack.net_hp_rw6815_camera_patch_wwe.CAB"
Also the ROMS by NHOCBANME are very stable but with more software on board (only useful software) the ROMS by Helloworld1 are like HP could have made them.
There are a lot more but in my opinion these are the two best ROM makers. But I would say, try them all and see what's best for you're self.
Don't expect any update on the ROM cause the RW68xx is already fairly old (but for it's age still very good, better as the Diamond 1 I use at the moment. For resistive screen it's the best i ever had the only thing is that it has no GPS otherwise I would not use that Diamond anymore and go back to my good-old RW6815)
